RE: Ginny

[ladyrelaynie.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Ginny, and more than a bit miffed at her brothers. Especially Bill. I understand they've had to be careful, and that Ginny had turned herself away from them for a while. But Bill and Charlie knew she was trying to change, and neglected to talk to her more regularly, forcing her to resort to a private message (she's a Gryffindor and a Weasley; were they really surprised when she went there?). And then Fred and George used magic on her (and bet you anything they haven't told her exactly why she lost it so completely in Umbutt's office). When and if they ever get around to adding her to the lock, I would not blame her for being angry (and hurt). For a WHILE.

Anyway. Anyone else feeling this way?

Maybe a bit.

But, we have no evidence that she even tried to approach Fred, George, or Ron before complaining to Bill and Charlie. Of course, they are going to be doing their own thing when for the previous 3 1/2 years they got snubbed by Ginny W. She hasn't shown them she wants to or has changed. All they know is the Percy-ish persona who is ashamed of being a Weasley. We know more, but I don't think they do.

I thought I remembered a conversation between Bill, Charlie, and Ginny in which she said as much, but I could be wrong. And you're right, she hasn't seemed to be making an effort with FGR, though maybe they just haven't mentioned it?). And Charlie is kind of busy, which was why I was mostly mad at Bill, who, knowing how important her allegiance is, might at least have kept up a dialogue with her. He has with Percy, after all, which is how they know Percy's beliefs. But perhaps the rite is still affecting him?

As you say, they don't know all we know, and they're all still grieving Mr. Weasley, which can't be helpful. And after Snape legilimises her, they'll know for sure. (Can't say I'm happy about that either, actually, because PERCY, but.). Anyway. Just grumbling.

Ugh yes, I'm getting frustrated about it. How is she supposed to get any more "trustworthy" if they refuse to trust her? And it seems to me like this shows that she really needs a galleon so she has at least some way to vent her frustrations to someone (I wish she was in the ISS group, but that's clearly not going to happen), but they're using it as proof that she shouldn't be allowed. I know it's dangerous everywhere, but it feels like no one's giving her a chance.
