This is set after a long Quidditch practice in Harry’s sixth year that went on into the late evening :)

So you think Dean’s dating my sister because of her skin?

It looks like Harry is wanking.

[NB: There is text between these extracts in this scene, but I have removed them as they are not relevant to this discussion.]

This is one of my favourite Harry/Ginny moments in the books, which sounds odd because it’s before Haryr even realises he has feelings for her. But this scene shows so perfectly why they end up together.

Harry has been freaking out. He’s terrified of who he is and what he’s doing and thing have gotten so bad he attempted to go and live at Privet Drive. Upon being told to stay at Grimmauld place by Dumbledore, Harry retreats to Buckbeaks room at the top of the house.

Angsty and alone, his friends come up to try and talk sense into him and comfort him. While Hermione becomes impatient, and Ron becomes nervous, Ginny [being the sassy bamf she is] talks back at Harry. When he argues back, accusing them of talking about him behind his back, Ginny is the only one who answers. She tells him how they have been trying to talk to him.

Ginny is the only one of his friends who can get through to Harry in times of personal crisis like this. When Harry becomes angry or upset, he always feels as though it’s something he needs to deal with himself [such as when everyone thinks he’s Slytherin’s heir, and when he gets put into the Triwizard Tournement]. He rejects help from other people, and offended by his aggresiveness they usually back down.

But not Ginny. Ginny knows Harry. After growing up with six older brothers, Ginny’s had to learn how to stand up for herself, and how to know when people need a good talking too. She’s funny, and sweet, and kind, and understanding enough to make him happy, and to enjoy happy times with him, just like all his friends. But unlike all his friends, in times of dark and despair, Ginny is the only one who can get through to him.

Unlike Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Draco, or anyone else people may think would be a good romantic interest for Harry, Ginny is the only person who could be Harry’s love for the long term. While they all have connections with Harry, it takes a very special kind of bond to be able to live with someone for your whole life without becoming angry, bored, frustrated, or weary of them.

Ginny is the only one who is fiery and determined enough to get through to Harry when he most needs it. Ginny is the only one who could live with Harry without getting angry or annoyed at his moodswings and sulks. Ginny is the only one who is passionate enough to provide the emotional closeness that Harry so desperately craves. She is the only one patient enough to deal with Harry’s long spurs of self-hate. She is the only one for Harry, who knows him and understands him and can really see him underneath the front he puts up. She is so perfect for him, and he proves that himself. By falling in with her.

How come I can write a page long thesis on Hinny so easily but it takes me weeks to put together 100 words on the Civil War.
