My $.02 on the ships in the book :-)

Let me start by saying i agree with a lot of people on the
transformation of Ginny, just because we didn't see it as it happened
doesn't mean that she wasn't growing up right under all of your noses
(including Harry)

I don't understand why so many people are down on her. I don't think
Ginny was all that bad in book 6. I think she was very good in book 5
especially when she points out to Harry that if he thought he was
being posessed by LV that *duh* he should of asked her about it. And
yes he derserved whatever sass she gave him at that point.

In book 6 I see no problem with her character. Yes she slings around
the bat bogey curse pretty much willy nilly as she sees fit, but come
on she is the youngest sibling of 6 brothers. I'd expect her to be
ready for a fight at the drop of a hat. Especially when it comes to
the twins. She is a strong young woman so I can see why she broke up
with Dean if she felt he was trying to treat her like a weak girl that
needed help (granted it wasn't him pushing her but how was she to know?)

I also see no fault in the fight she had with Ron when he caught her
with Dean. He all but called her a slut. She had had enough, simple as
that. She had to deal with 20 questions from the twins when they
visited the joke shop, because obviously Ron was not painting a nice
picture. So add in that he was a word short of calling her a
Jezebel(lol) yeah, she had every right to flip on him the way she did.
The fact that she went for the jugular is perfectly fine with me.

I think that her and Harry could end up together. It seems the way JKR
has been going from her first scene in CoS. I do believe she made the
transition from Goupie(as someone called her) to actual feelings for
Harry. Again, just cause we didn't see her make the change doesn't
mean it didn't happen. We see things from Harry's perspective. He
didn't take serious note of her til the 6th book, so therefore we
didn't get a full look at her til then.

But on an interesting note, let's just say Harry ends up with Hermione
instead, then maybe Ron could end up with Luna and Ginny with Neville?
LOL I think Harry and Luna wouldn't be a bad twist either, which
leaves Ron/Hermione and Ginny/Neville yet again (see my pattern?)  Ok
wow I have babbled on long enough. :-)
