I’m not sure if anyone else asked this yet (I didn’t see it if they did) but thoughts on Draco/Ginny?

thank you very much for the ask, @riverxsong-ao3!

i might be talking out of my arse here, but I feel like i saw drinny everywhere in like 2006 but now it's a rare-pair.

i have no idea why this might be - obviously the fandom now ascribes more controversy to death eater/non-death eater pairings; obviously the tendency among fans who go in for non-canon stuff is to read and write slash pairings, rather than het ones with other than the canon endgame couples; and obviously the major exceptions to this are dramione [which uses up draco] and harmony [which is - i'll be frank - usually written to get rid of the weasleys as quickly as possible] - but all of these things were true in the 00s too...

[my actual theory is that ginny functions less well as a self-insert - in the way that perfect fanon!hermione is typically used - because she's a smaller and more imperfect character in the books and she could have been played by a chair in the films and lost nothing of her character arc, and that this means that people who are keen on "omg tom felton draco malfoy is interested in little ol' me" fics don't write them with her in the reader role...]

but yeah, i'm actually quite fond of it as a concept. one of the things i think is really underappreciated about the canonical ginny is that she's clearly extremely petty and vindictive [how else was she feeding secrets into the diary strong enough to resurrect the biggest bitch hogwarts has ever known?], but in a really teenage way - harry is forced by his narrative role to be almost preternaturally mature, but ginny's beef even towards the end of deathly hallows is that her mam is being mean and treating her like a child.

that sort of flop energy aligns extremely well with draco's canon vibe [never tells a joke that lands]. i mean, we can all imagine "yeah, zabini, because you're so talented... at posing" coming out of draco's mouth, and yet it's a direct quote from ginevra molly weasley.

i back the two of them to really quite enjoy sitting in front of the telly while some sort of red-carpet coverage is on, thinking their running commentary on the stars' outfits is funny and/or good. and enjoying spending time with each other is, really, all you need in a relationship...

[ginevvra-blog]

are we not even going to talk about how unexplored the ginny/tom relationship is

they wrote to each other for an entire year, tom riddle was closer to ginny than anyone else had ever been without reservation and she in turn was the object of his almost religious focus and devotion and study, he knew her deepest and darkest most innermost secrets, secrets that curled up inside her like velvety tendrils trying to claw their way out of her throat, secrets that she had never breathed a word about to anyone else after he had ensnared her into the deceptive cradle that was his gentleness and warmth. she went to him for advice, confided in him about her bruised heart, asked him all of the questions she had never dared ask her parents or brothers or teachers, clutched the diary dearly to her chest and told him the little details about her life, everything everything, they were profoundly close, chillingly so. tom riddle knew ginny weasley inside and out, lived vicariously through her, she had literally poured her soul into him, so much that he began pouring a little bit of his soul back into her i cant breathe

tom riddle aka voldemort poured bits of his soul back into ginny weasley 

a part of him will always be inside her, lying dormant but sharp-eyed in the dark corners of her mind

she got to know that side of him so thoroughly, the solicitous kind thoughtful tender side, he was everything and everywhere all at once, ginny weasley was best friends with fucking lord voldemort ok

why was this never explored, where is the narrative for this

why did jkr not incorporate this more into the story, why did ginny not have a more pivotal role in tom’s downfall, where was her part in the tom/harry chronicle of which she was so clearly involved and included, the only other character to be consumed and completely drowned in tom riddle’s darkness and come out thriving and pulsing and very full of the life he tried to devour, why was this simply left untouched, this could have been so much more, so much better, it nearly writes itself, its all there, what the fuck

Draco used to say, that there were the kind of people who would fight for you until all hope was gone. And then there were the kind of people who would fight for you even beyond that. I know he thought Ginny was one of that kind.

Here's an updated /slightly more realistic version of my Ginny because I am suffering from an art block and this is the only thing that turned out okayy
