You will find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it. ↳ Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

“I didn’t want anyone to talk to me,” said Harry, who was feeling more and more nettled. “Well, that was a bit stupid of you,” said Ginny angrily, “seeing as you don’t know anyone but me who’s been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels.” “I forgot,” he said. “Lucky you,” said Ginny coolly.

In general the Harry Potter movies went like this:

Book Harry: sassy little shit, an athlete constantly on the Quidditch pitch, natural leader Movie Harry: doesn’t play much Quidditch, stares dramatically into the distance with flared nostrils. “Who am I, Hedwig? What am I?”

Book Ron: heart and soul of the trio, understands Harry like no one else, awesome sense of humor, terrified of losing Harry, understandable inferiority complex, says the line “If you’re going to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us too!” as well as saving them all from strangulation by Devil’s Snare with the line, “Are you a witch or not?” (hem hem, very cool under pressure while Hermione sometimes isn’t), is the primary source of Wizarding and Ministry know-how, defends Hermione when Snape bullies her (“You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don’t want to be told?”), described by Rowling as “easy to love” Movie Ron: Eats food and makes moody faces, completely panics in the face of Devil’s Snare and needs Hermione to save him, supports Snape’s talking-down of Hermione (“He’s right, you know”) and generally sits in the shadows until the next comic-relief scene is needed

Book Hermione: brightest witch of her age, always thinks she’s right and usually is, not particularly attractive, socially awkward, refuses to admit to most of her emotions and doesn’t understand Harry as well as Ron does, but nevertheless amazing in her own unconventional way Movie Hermione: brightest witch of her age, conventionally attractive, literally a goddess, has a lot of awesome lines like “If you’re going to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us too!”, comfortably uses Voldemort’s name from the second movie onwards, highly perceptive to all things emotional, acts as Harry’s personal counselor and has heart-to-hearts with him while Ron sits in the background eating or sulking

Book Ginny: witty, popular, exciting, hates to be left out of things her older brothers get to do (and makes a huge fuss over it when she can’t), tough, writes Harry an audacious love poem as an eleven-year-old, trains herself to be an incredible Quidditch player, mischievous, a terrific liar and fighter, puts Harry in his place with her snarkiness, brave, gentle, badass and kind Movie Ginny: feeds Harry a pastry

ginny as a little second-year—it’s just her third week into school and she’s already pulling late nights in the library trying to catch up by herself

because she’d ask the professors, but they look at her with this pity in their eyes she can’t stand

and the other kids…well, she may be young but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know they’re all whispering about her behind her back

so she’s like, drowning in this transfiguration text but she’s GOING TO GET THROUGH IT AND WRITE THIS SODDING ESSAY if it’s the LAST THING SHE EVER DOES

and she’s just about to start banging her head against the table when someone plops down beside her and says ‘wow, you’ve got the worst case of wrackspurts i’ve ever seen’

ginny looks over warily to see a skinny blonde girl staring at her with enormous blue eyes. she looks familiar from her classes, she thinks, but most of last year is just so fuzzy (it’s only the parts of it she wishes she could forget that are, of course, horrifically clear)

'not that i can see them,' the girl continues, tucking her wand behind her ear. 'they're invisible, wrackspurts. but you look like you've got a bad case. i'm luna. want to hear a joke? happy thoughts make them go away.'

oh. luna. loony luna. now ginny remembers. the girl with the weird father and the even weirder stories about creatures that don’t exist. the girl whose presence is followed by almost as many whispers as ginny’s.

luna’s staring at her, clearly waiting for an answer. she doesn’t look particularly loony to ginny. in fact, she looks like the one of the first students to be nice to ginny in almost three weeks.

'sure,' ginny says, a timid smile spreading across her face.

luna tilts her head. ‘you might not need a joke anymore. i think you’ve got happy thoughts of your own now.’

ginny leans in and grins more deliberately, and a warmth unfurls in her chest at the smile luna offers in return. ‘tell me anyway.’

The fact that Harry Potter was going out with Ginny Weasley seemed to interest a great number of people, most of them girls, yet Harry found himself newly and happily impervious to gossip over the next few weeks. After all, it made a very nice change to be talked about because of something that was making him happier than he could remember being for a very long time, rather than because he had been involved in horrific scenes of Dark Magic.

I suppose the real reason Ginny Weasley’s like this is because she opened her heart and spilled all her secrets to an invisible stranger.
