The pairing between Harry and Ginny is very cute. For the most part, the pairing is very one-sided until Ginny went through a spectacular change and finally caught Harry’s attention in Book 5. The pairing started when Ginny finally starts Hogwarts a year below Harry in Book 2. When Ginny first meets him at her house, she becomes extremely shy, clumsy, and quiet around Harry. However, Ron notes to Harry that Ginny is never like that. She is usually loud, out-going, and never stops talking. Because Harry just sees her as his best friend’s younger sister, he becomes inresponsive and later ignores Ginny’s feelings. In other words, even though he's annoyed by Ron and some other's teasing about him and Ginny, Harry has bigger priorities than Ginny's crush on him. However, Harry’s indifference to her feelings hurts Ginny a lot. Because of that, she becomes an easy target for evil and later becomes a person Harry has to save. This one-sided relationship continues on until the relationship between Harry and Cho crumbles in Book 5, and Harry starts to notice Ginny in a whole new light.

In book 5, Ginny takes the initiative to move on from The-Boy-Who-Lived and starts to become incredibly popular with Hogwarts boys. By Book 6, Ginny has dated boys like Dean Thomas and Michael Conner. Because her feelings for Harry disappeared, her true out-going and spunky personality greets Harry and helps her to become one of Harry’s closest companions. Then, in Book 6, things start to heat up. Hehehe! In the middle of the book, Harry, who’s finally over Cho Chang, becomes distressed as he realizes that he really likes Ginny. However, knowing how weird to date his protective best friend’s younger sister, he tries really hard to hide his feelings. However, after a Quiddich game victory, filled with so much good emotions, he unconsciously bent down and kissed Ginny in front of everyone. Trusting in his best friend, protective Ron accepts him as Ginny’s boyfriend, and Harry and Ginny start dating. However, after a traumatic situation occurs at Hogwarts, Harry, afraid of endangering Ginny, breaks up with her as he goes off to battle destiny.

Best Moments of Harry and Ginny
HP and the Chamber of Secrets
Ginny being all clumsy around Harry when he's at the Wealsey's:
" He [Harry] and Ron went down to breakfast to find Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Ginny already sitting at the kitchen table. The moment she saw Harry, Ginny accidentally knocked her porridge bowl to the floor with a loud clatter. Ginny seemed very prone to knocking things over whenever Harry entered the room. She dived under the table to retrieve the bowl and emerged with her face glowing like the setting sun. Pretending he hadn't noticed this, Harry sat down and took the toast Mrs. Weasley offered him (b2, 40).

Ginny stands up for Harry against Draco Malfoy:
" 'Bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter?' said a voice Harry no trouble recognizing. He straightened up and found himself face-to-face with Draco Malfoy, who was wearing his usual sneer.
'Famous Harry Potter,' said Malfoy. 'Can't even go into a bookstore without making the front page.'
'Leave him alone, he didn't want all that!' said Ginny. It was the first time she had spoken in front of Harry. She was glaring at Malfoy.
'Potter, you've got yourself a girlfriend!' drawled Malfoy. Ginny went scarlet as Ron adn Hermione fought their way over, both clutching stacks of Lockhart's books. " (b2, 61)

Harry receives a V-day singing message:
" 'Oy, you! 'Arry Potter!' shouted a particularly grim-looking dwarf, elbowing people out of the way to get to Harry.
Hot all over at the thought of being given a valentine in front of a line of first years, which happened to include Ginny Weasley, Harry tried to escape. The dwarf, however, cut his way through th crowd by kicking people's shins, and reached him before he'd gone two paces.
'I've got a musical message to deliver to 'Arry Potter in person,' he said, twanging his harp in a threatening sort of way.
' Not here,' Harry hissed, trying to escape.
'Stay still!' grunted the dwarf, grabbing hold of Harry's bag and pulling him back.
' Let me go!' Harry snarled, tugging.
With a loud ripping noise, his bag split in two. His books, wand, parchment, and quill spilled on the floor and his ink bottle smashed over everything.
'Harry scrambled around, trying to pick it all up before the dwarf started singing, causing something of a hold up in the corridor.....
Losing his head, Harry tried to make a run for it, but the dwarf seized around him arund the knees and brought him crashing to the floor.
'Right, ' he said, sitting on Harry's ankles. 'Here is your singing valentine:

His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,
His hair is as a dark as a blackboard.
I wish he was mine, he's really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord

Harry would have given all the gold in Gringotts to evaporate on the spot." (b2, 237-8)

Draco attacks Harry by hurting Ginny:
" But Harry didn't care, he was one-up on Malfoy, and that was worth five points from Gryffindor any day. Malfoy was looking furious, and as Ginny passed him to enter her classroom, he yelled spitefully after her, 'I don't think Potter liked your valentine much!'
Ginny covered her face with her hands and ran into class. Snarling, Ron pulled out his wand, too, but Harry pulled him away."(b2, 239)

Tom Riddle tells Harry what Ginny wrote in his diary:
" 'The diary,' said Riddle. 'My diary. Little Ginny's been writing in it for months and months, telling me all her pitiful worries and woes -- how her brothers tease her, how she had to come to school with secondhand robes and books, how' --Riddle's eyes glinted-- 'how she didn't think famous, good, great Harry Potter would ever like her...'
All the time he spoke, Riddle's eyes never left Harry's face. There was an almost hungry look in them." (b2, 309)
HP and Prisoner of Azkaban

In the summer, Ginny sees Harry at the Leaky Cauldron:
" Ginny, who had always been very taken with Harry, seemed even more heartily embarrassed than usual when she saw him, perhaps because he saved her life during their previous year at Hogwarts. She went very red and muttered 'hello' without looking at him. " (b3, 62)

After a Quidditch match, injured Harry receives a get-well card from Ginny:
" He had a stream of visitors, all intent on cheering him up. Hagrid sent him a bunch of earwiggy flowers that looked like yellow cabbages, and Ginny Weasley, blushing furiously, turned up with a get-well card she had made herself, which sang shrilly unless Harry kept it shut under his bowl of fruit." (b3, 183)
HP and Goblet of Fire

Ron tries to set up Ginny as Harry's date:
" 'Right,' said Ron, who looked extremely put out. 'this is getting stupid. Ginny, you can go with Harry, and I'll just --'
'I can't,' said Ginny, and she went scarlet too. 'I'm going with -- with Neville. He asked me when Hermione said no, and I thought... well... I'm not going to be able to go otherwise. I'm not in fourth year.' She looked extremely miserable. 'I think I'll go and have dinner,' she said, and she got up and walked off to the portrait hole, her head bowed." (b4, 401)
HP and Half-Blood Prince

Harry's inner conflict:
" Neither of them seemed to have noticed that a fierce battle was raging inside Harry's brain:
She's Ron's sister.
But she's ditched Dean!
She's still Ron's sister.
I'm his best mate!
That'll make it worse.
If I talked to him first -
He'd hit you.
What if I don't care?
He's your best mate!" (b6, 482)

Harry's kiss seen by fifty people:
"Harry looked around; there was Ginny running towards him; she had a hard, blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching him, Harry kissed her.
After several long moments - or it might have been half an hour - or possibly several sunlit days - they broke apart. The room had gone very quiet. Then several people wolf-whistled and there was an outbreak of nervous giggling....Hermione was beaming, and Harry's eyes sought Ron. At last he found him, still clutching the Cup and wearing an expression appropriate to having been clubbed over the head. For a fraction of a second they looked at each other, then Ron gave a tiny jerk of the head that Harry understood to mean, 'Well-if you must.' " (b6, 499)

Harry and Ginny's break up:
"She (Ginny) met Harry's glaze with the same hard, blazing look that he had seen when she had hugged after winning the Quidditch Cup in his absence, and he knew that at that moment they understood each other perfectly, and that when he told her what he was going to do now, she would not say 'Be careful' or 'Don't do it', but accept his decision, because she would not have expected anything less of him. And so he steeled himself to say what he had known he must say ever since Dumbledore had died.
'Ginny, listen...' he said very quietly, as the buzz of conversation grew louder around them and people began to get to their feet. 'I can't be involved with you any more. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together.'
She said, with an oddly twisted smile. 'It's for some stupid, noble reason, isn't it?'
'It's been like... like something out of someone else's life, these last few weeks with you,' said Harry. 'But I can't ... we can't.. I've got things to do alone now.'
She did not cry, she simply looked at him.
'Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you're my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get to me through you.'
'What if I don't care?' said Ginny fiercely.
'I care.' said Harry. 'How do you think I'd feel if this was your funeral ... and it was my fault...'
'She looked away from him, over the lake.
'I never really gave up on you, ' she said. 'Not really. I always hoped... Hermione told me to get on with life, maybe go out with some other people, relax a bit around you, because I never used to be able to talk if you were in the room, remember? And she thought you might take a bit more notice if I was a bit more - myself.'
'Smart girl, that Hermione,' said Harry, trying to smile. 'I just wished I'd asked you sooner. We could've had ages .. months.. years maybe....'
'But you've been too busy saving the wizarding world,' said Ginny, half-laughing. 'Well... I can't say I'm surprised. I knew this would happen in the end. I knew you wouldn't be happy unless you were hunting Voldemort. Maybe that's why I like you so much.' (b6, 602-3)
