... first time in a very long time, Ginny was happy to be treated like a delicate child. Harry had become her absolute joy and he likewise had become quickly attached to her. It was uncanny how easily he felt comfort around her, even though she was a new person to him. "I've never seen him so eager to play with anyone. You tire him out so well," Lily said after they put him down for a nap. "Tea?" "Yes, please. Doesn't he dote on Sirius though? Harry always reaches after him when he comes in the mornings."

After time, her still-healing wounds and scars would soon stop shocking them. Often, she would be lost in thought and not hear a word that was directed at her. Fearful that she might be remembering something unpleasant, they let it pass as if unnoticed. But otherwise Ginny was as cheerful and conversational as ever. On an evening when no one was engaged to be out for the Order, everyone sat comfortably in the living room at the cottage after having dinner together. It'd been a long time since nearly all the group were able to dine together and without interruption. Harry sat on the floor surrounded by his many toys and the adults were circled around him, lounging on the sofas. "Gin! Gin!" Harry begged, and Ginny scooped him up in her arms. Peter raised his brows. "Does anyone else here think he knows?" "That's what I said!" Sirius argued. "That's ridiculous," Ginny answered but cooed to the boy anyways.
