Scott:
If, and I repeat IF, the fighting had come her way she would have
been justified in leaving to pursue it. BUT, she left on her own.
She WAS supposed to keep that room open and available, but didn't.
At the very least Harry should have been asking where she had
disappeared to. It's really inappropriate to express your freedom
DURING a battle.

Crescent:
Yes. I have to agree. Wanting to fight is fine; joining in if the fight
comes to you is fine. Running off to find a fight alone is downright
stupid. That's like asking death eaters to take you out if they catch you
alone. If she had gone with somebody else–anybody else–it might have been
abandoning the post she was given, but at least she wouldn't be putting
herself in as much danger as running around alone in the middle of a battle.

If she had stuck around, she could have warned the trio, possibly helped
them out and avoided the fiendfyre disaster altogether. But then, I was
never very impressed with Ginny as a character to begin with.
