Ginny Love!

I thought you were supposed to be my back-up?  Don't tease the lonley 
H/Gers like that.  Perish the thought! ;)
It may well be that Ginny (Not Draco)wouldn't mind giving her life 
over to the nurturing of Harry's wounded spirit and all that, but I 
don't think it has to be quite that bad.  He survived 12 years of 
abuse and came out a clever, kind boy and has managed to begin 
trusting and caring for people in the kinds of authority positions 
that he has previously only had cause to fear.  What's to indicate 
that he will just fall apart after the Voldy war?  
I'm sure there will be emotional scars, but I think Harry can manage 
to live and love someday.  It may take years, but I don't see why the 
Harry I know and love can't overcome enough to share his life with 
someone as an equal partner, rather than a project or a patient.  Even 
if it isn't Ginny, I'm not ready to resign to our Harry being alone 
and tortured for the rest of his life.
