There are two sides to every story. Harry and Ginny tell one hundred about how the proposal went because “let me taste another bean” isn’t exactly the “yes” people expect to hear.

Ginny Weasley starts to judge everything by one standard.
“Could this be the worst thing that’s ever happened in my life?”
And the answer, of course, is always no.
Could going on a date be the worst thing ever in her life? Could she survive?
Of course. She picked up a journal once. It couldn’t be worse than that decision. And she survived that.
Could joining a secret underground army to defend against the rising evil be the worst decision ever? Would it kill her?
Of course not. She once wrote in her diary that she was in love with Harry Potter. It had responded with a dozen innocuous questions.
That had been far more dangerous than learning how to defend herself.
Could running away from school with a group of friends into unknown territory and no plan to fight the most feared wizard of her time kill her?
Yes. But he’d already tried once and she’d be damned if he ever succeeded. She knew what she was doing now. She was trained.
Once she’d tried to face him by herself, and he’d already had half her soul by then. This was nothing compared to that.
Could fighting in the final battle of a war that had waged since before she was born kill her? Would it be the worst decision she could make?
It would almost definitely kill her, but she couldn’t think of a better decision. This mattered. This was important.
She almost died once. Once, when the most important thing in her world was a boy she loved and a diary that understood her, she’d almost died just to be accepted.
This was far more important than that.
And so Ginny learns anything is possible if you have enough nerve.
She just hopes no one ever asks her where hers comes from.

I think the funniest thing about this post is the idea that Ginny was only snappy at Cho because of jealousy.
like, Ginny doesn’t know Cho, at least not that we are aware of. Ginny probably doesn’t trust Cho. it was Cho’s friend who snitched in OoTP, and Cho defended her, something Ginny probably found out about. so Ginny has no reason whatsoever to trust Cho.
she knows Harry. they understand each other perfectly. so she knows the type of danger he’s in (the reason they broke up, to keep her safe because he’s in so much danger) and that he has important tasks to accomplish.
so you can bet your ass that Ginny would want to protect Harry, in any subtle way she can, so she stops someone she doesn’t trust from leading him on his task, and has Luna (one of her good friends, and someone she probably trusts explicitly) to take Harry to where he needs to go.
and I’m not attacking Cho, because she probably had good intentions, and wanted to help. remember, she went against her parents wishes to join the DA, and she believed in Harry.
but was Ginny having a ‘petty jealous fit’ about letting Cho help Harry?
absolutely not.

Every time I’m reminded about how amazing Ginny is, by a friend or a post or a stray thought —
Like how great her talent must be at Quidditch for being able to play both Chaser and Seeker competitively and even beating other players who’ve been training as Seeker the whole term while she only filled in for Harry…
Or how she always, always, always defends those who cannot defend themselves — that girl from the battle, Luna, Neville, and even Harry…
Or how she must have been the loyal friend to Hermione when Harry and Ron were being idiot boys quarreling with her…
Or how she fought against the trauma of being possessed by Voldemort, and how she never lost her sense of humor in spite of everything that had happened, and how deeply she still cared for those around her…
Or how she always understood Harry on a level that needed no words and explanations…
I think to myself, “man, Harry must love her so much.” He would probably get moments where he would just stare at her and count himself lucky not only because she loves him, but also for the simple fact that she is there with him, she is in his world, she exists. He would just look at her and think, “Marry me,” and even after they were already married, he’d still get those moments. And he’ll always have those moments for the rest of his life because Ginny is his great love and that is beautiful because I could not wish anything less for him.
