'Silly Little Girl'

Mar 15, 2005 20:41

Over the past month or so I've written two entirely different takes on Ginny post-Chamber of Secrets. Sad!Ginny and Evil!Ginny. This is the first of them and (I think) the better story. And for those of you who have been following my efforts with my AU HP epic, this isn't part of that. It's all its own thing.

Sniffle Alert! Not a happy ( Read more... )

I adore this story (and your other Ginny one) - but you know that anyway!

Hi, dear! I *think* there's a HP newsletter - lots of lj readers read from what's mentioned there. Lovely to see you here - I'm just scurrying over my flist (have been *sick*) - but well know the frustration of posting, wanting interaction with readers, and it not being forthcoming.

Ginny's sadness and self recriminations ring true - and speak generally as well as for the HP fandom - any young person on the verge of womanhood, who has mistakenly placed her faith in one who casts her callously aside. I *thought* the treasure box might be womb imagery, and bring her back to her sense of her own creativity - it held within it products of her art and creativity. But she casts them aside, and determines to return the box to her mother. Which seems to me to leave her at the end in that same place of desolation, grieving a lost innocence, and her foolishness, and yet still unable to embrace forgiveness of herself and a move into greater maturity, or womanhood.

Ahhh, teen angst.

I didn't actually think of the box as a womb image although now that you point it out, I can see it very clearly. It's possible that I *did* use it as one on a subconscious level. Her choosing to set it aside is very much a part of the over all theme of the story. The kind of rejection involved here *isn't* something that can be got over so easily. And in my experience, the healing process can't even really begin yet. It's too soon ( ... )
