    Summary

    Ginny Weasley once nursed a secretive, ill-advised crush on Draco Malfoy while dating Dean Thomas – not knowing that Draco was fixing the Vanishing Cabinet and plotting to kill Albus Dumbledore.

    Now, nearly two years after the war, Ginny’s a starting Chaser with the Montrose Magpies. Draco joins her team as reserve Seeker – quieter, still lacquered in that brittle gloss, something feral flickering beneath.

    And Ginny finds herself again circling the boy she could have loved, if only she’d dared.

    Summary

    AU: Ginny Weasley, the Montrose Magpies’ scrappy reserve Seeker, can’t quite help resenting Harry Potter, Puddlemere United’s star Seeker and the wizarding world’s favourite war hero.

    It’s not just that they’re rivals on the pitch. Harry represents everything Ginny fought for during the war, everything she clawed her way towards. And even though she doesn’t remember what happened, he once saved her life in the Chamber of Secrets. Ginny is sure it is simply a forgotten footnote in his golden-boy legend.

    So of course, the universe arranges a double date at a charity gala: Harry attending with polished socialite Astoria Greengrass, and Ginny with entitled heir and her unlikely best friend, Draco Malfoy.

    What could go wrong? More importantly – what could possibly go right?

    Summary

    Five years after the war, Ginny Weasley walks away from a glittering Quidditch career without explanation, joining the Auror Department as a trainee. She expects long hours and bruises, bureaucracy but also danger. She does not expect to train under Senior Auror Harry Potter – the man she’s spent years learning how to live without.

    Harry has built his life around saving people, and he’s simply never paused to choose himself. He thought he was coping – until Ginny reappears in his life in the last role he would want for her, while being, all over again, everything he’s ever wanted.

    Summary

    Two years after the war, Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy know what it means to be second best. They don’t mind, at first: there are worse places to land, after a war.

    Ginny, a rising Quidditch star, is perpetually sidelined by not-quite-boyfriend Harry Potter’s calling – his career, his trauma, his silence. Draco, engaged to Astoria Greengrass in name only, is more accessory than partner – his past an inconvenient footnote to her ambitions.

    They run into each other having been stood up. What begins as snarky banter about surviving the indignity of being runners up together, may just turn into something more.

    If only they had the strength to choose themselves.

    Two runners up, and one last chance to come first.

    Summary

    After the war, Draco Malfoy is sentenced to a year’s community service. He chooses to serve his term at a wizarding animal sanctuary, convinced most of wizarding Britain would rather not see his face – and truthfully, he doesn’t want to see other people, either.

    Ginny Weasley, Quidditch star and post-war darling, begins volunteering there, and Draco is – reluctantly – thrown together with her. Allegedly, Keeper Stirling Summerby thinks he can show her the ropes. Or perhaps she just refuses to leave him alone.

    Summary

    After the war, Ginny Weasley is adrift. She enrols in the Auror trainee programme, hoping for meaning. Instead of clarity, she’s paired with Draco Malfoy – insufferable training partner and alleged reformed Death Eater, walking reminder of the past.

    Draco, meanwhile, wants nothing to do with the Noble House of Malfoy. Pushed into a rehabilitation initiative, he starts exchanging anonymous letters with a stranger who knows too much of trauma and betrayal.

    In training, they spar but reluctantly learn to trust. In letters, they confess what they dare not say aloud.

    Somewhere between sparring and secrets, something undeniable could start to take shape.

    Summary

    AU: When Voldemort fell for good at the end of the First Wizarding War, the wizarding world breathed easier – but Ginny Weasley was still handed Tom Riddle’s diary. After her rescue from the Chamber of Secrets, she’s sent across the Channel to Beauxbatons in France, where protective older brother Bill oversees her recovery and education.

    Harry Potter, whose green eyes she first awakened to in the Chamber, maintains an active correspondence with her which grows intimate. Summers and holidays bring fleeting reunions, yet distance, misunderstandings and timing conspire to leave their connection suspended in almosts.

    Years later, Ginny returns to England as Chaser for the Montrose Magpies. Harry, soon a Seeker on the same team, finds himself drawn back into her orbit.

    Can they finally bridge the metaphorical ocean that has always kept them apart?

    Summary

    Ginny Weasley hadn’t expected Harry Potter to be an obstacle to her professional Quidditch ambitions. But then – she hadn’t expected him to disappoint her as a boyfriend after the war.

    She hadn’t expected, either, for Harry’s new close friend, Draco Malfoy, to give her a lead into her new position as Chaser for the Montrose Magpies.

    And she certainly hadn’t expected to be caught making out with the Magpies’ star Chaser, Alec Vaisey, just weeks after breaking up with Harry. But here we are.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy had wanted Ginny Weasley since they were children, saved her favourite tarts like offerings. She never looked his way - until sixth year, when they kissed in an empty classroom and he had her, briefly. Then she chose Harry Potter, publicly.

    Now she’s back as a Chaser for the Montrose Magpies, and Draco’s had years to study her emotional architecture: she wants what hurts, what doesn’t fit. That - he can manage.

    A story about an unreasonably long-standing, foundational crush.

    Summary

    After the war, the Ministry demands reintegration - not redemption. Five Slytherin heirs are conscripted into the Auror Department for their symbolism - and were never meant to be operational.

    But when Ginny Weasley joins their ranks, the Auror Colours Squad becomes something else - possibly, not merely ornamental.

    This is a story about refusing to accept the role thrust upon you.

    Summary

    In her second season as a professional Chaser, Ginny Weasley flies like she’s never been broken. She has everything she could have asked for, after a traumatic war: a still-loving family, a first-string spot on the team of her dreams, two new best friends in her teammates, Cho Chang and Alec Vaisey, and a burgeoning relationship with the perfect boy.

    Two years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter still doesn’t quite understand why he never returned to Ginny. But when he’s assigned to the Montrose Magpies’ security detail for a match after a string of threats, he realises – watching Ginny fly again – that he could never really leave her at all.
