Wrote some more Harry Potter fic. Don't care for how it turned out. erkle.
Thicken
It was a few minutes after the golden pair strode from the train toward the carriages that the strawberry and pumkin head of Virginia Weasley wove through the crowd, summoning her classmates next with a few enthusiastic waves and brilliant smile. The baby girl of the Weasely pack stood tall, bones and body catching up as her 15 year old figure raced headlong into maturity. The runt of the wizardng litter could now command every eye she passed, and with joyous pride she did so. Look at me, her laughter said, all the money in the world can't buy what I'm becoming.
Hagrid's voice boomed across the station, calling for students to take their places waiting to be taken by carriage. The Hogwarts carriages themselves were loaded near to the brim as the final students made their way across the platform, dragging luggage bemused expressions. Luna Lovegood re-adjusted her wand behind her ear, and turned to smile faintly at her companion. Neville, who walked a little slower to accomadate for his extra-weighty trunk, smiled back with confidence near seeping from his ears. The nightmare that remained in the forefront of their minds had left its mark most notably on the Longbottom boy. Every gesture he made said proudly, I am all grown up now. I went to battle with Harry Potter, and nothing you can do can hurt me, this day or any after. The quiet and serene Luna was study in comparison: she looked and spoke exactly the same, opaline eyes never wavering as she absorbed everything in the immediately area. How could she seem so normal? It was a a question that begged answering. Had she even been at the Minsitry of Magic at all, or was is just a rumor too outrageous to be true? But whether Luna seemed unchanged or not, she had been there, and in its own way, perhaps a way no one but she can tell, it changed her too.
All in all they were a pecular lot: the six students that embarked on the now famous rescue mission. And while they began this year little different than they had begun the last--separated, burdened, disconnected from one another more by default of their previous relationships than anything else-- eventually their everyday lives would come to mirror their lives that fateful spring night. Little by little they would converge, and before the Yule passed they would find themselves bound together: by blood, by love, and by justice.

So, do you buy that Ginny could become the beauty of Hogwarts, the really cute one every other girl thinks she wants to be? Cause I need to give her some kind of personality, and this seems to fit wiht her discovery of the joys of boyfriends in book 4. I figure by book she'll be 15, and will begin to look the part. Even if its jsut for this introduction. Otherwise who knows what I'll do with her.

I really don't want her to be all mary-sueish perfect (she not even my favorite character by far), I just thought it seemed a natural progression, and it would give her more confidence and let her try to defy the idea that the Weasely's are something less because they're poor, and she would take Cho's place as the girl everyone wanted. How nicely ironic if the poor girl turns out to be the prettiest. Plus, I was thinking about this old movie I watched a long time ago, The Prime of Miss Jean Brody, and in it there was this red-headed student who was the pretty one. That probably gave me the idea.
-interesting that Harry hasn't noticed it!
Yeah. Harry seemed pretty caught up in himself in this book-- he barely even noticed Cho, who was practically dating him. Though if I had everything on my plate that he has, I don't knwo how much I'd think about romance either.
Such a fun personality, with poise and confidence would certainly be a killer combination.
I think I'll take her that way. That makes sense to me, as well.
Did you see the first part of this?

Just because she's the school beauty doesnt mean she has to be perfect. In fact, if for instance, boys like her, you open up for some very interesting flaws that come naturally with such. And people can call her on those too. I think, so long as she has a few flaws and that main characters, or even not-so-main characters, call her on those flaws, you're not going to Mary Sue by far.

No doubt! I think that's probably very true. I understand perfectly why Dumbledore didn't give him the Prefect position!
Did you see the first part of this?
No. I'll have to take a look!
