Ginny Weasley: How the fuck did I get relegated to rubbish duty
Harry Potter: you say that like i’m in charge
Ginny Weasley: Weren’t you?
Harry Potter: first of all, i don’t believe you actually think i’d make a bloody chore wheel
second, like i’d assign myself to bathroom scrubbing if i had
Ginny Weasley: Idk mate, you’ve got that whole self-sacrificing thing going
Idk where you’d draw the line
Harry Potter: toilets
i draw it at toilets
Ginny Weasley: Good to know, for future reference
Harry Potter: ominous, tbh
Ginny Weasley: Innit
Harry Potter: take up ur chore complaints with hermione
Ginny Weasley: You’re a more sympathetic audience, toilet boy
Harry Potter: ?!?
i reject that nickname into the stratosphere
Ginny Weasley: Oh sorry, loo lad?
Harry Potter: fuck offff
Ginny Weasley: Washroom wanker
Harry Potter: trash tart
Ginny Weasley: LOL
Harry Potter: garbage girl?
Ginny Weasley: Weaker.
Harry Potter: rubbish gin
Ginny Weasley: HAHAHA.
Ronald is literally never going to do the dishes and we’re going to get roaches.
Idk what Hermione was thinking.
Harry Potter: when hermione sees a problem, she has one solution
and it’s organization
Ginny Weasley: I suppose we ought to thank her, really.
Otherwise this uni house would probably be carried away by the London rat union
Harry Potter: london rat union
good band name
Ginny Weasley: Hey, I support organized labour.
Harry Potter: just not when it’s delivered in a chore wheel?
Ginny Weasley: LOL I walked right into that.
I suppose if the worst thing I have to complain about is a chore wheel it’s alright.
LMK if/when you want to revolt with me.
Harry Potter: let’s let hermione have it for a week
Ginny Weasley: Kind of you.

Ginny Weasley: As in, who uses more dishes?
Harry Potter: no
who makes the dishes physically dirtier when they use them
ron says hermione uses too many sauces
Ginny Weasley: LOLOLOL
Harry Potter: obviously a deliberate plot to create more work for him, the dishwasher
Ginny Weasley: Ngl girl does love her sauces
Harry Potter: hot take

Harry Potter: it’s really fine
Ginny Weasley: She must hate me omg
Harry Potter: im sure she doesn’t
i didn’t even say it was you just a friend needed a ride
Ginny Weasley: Yes but you shouldn’t have left your evening with her when it wasn’t an emergency!
Harry Potter: to be clear
you being drunk downtown with no ride while creeps wont leave you alone = emergency
Ginny Weasley: I could’ve handled them, I just didn’t want to make a scene.
Harry Potter: i know you couldve but you shouldnt have to
Ginny Weasley: I feel awful
Harry Potter: that might be bc of the sangria
Ginny Weasley: No, you prat. I feel awful for ruining your evening with Cho.
AGAIN!
Harry Potter: you didnt ruin it it was over anyway
and you and demelza were a laugh
Ginny Weasley: At least tell me things with Cho are alright.
Harry Potter: why are you so worried
Ginny Weasley: BECAUSE I’M THE WORST.
Harry Potter: they’re fine idk
Ginny Weasley: Fuck I’m so sorry.
Harry Potter: no it’s nothing to do with you
she was a bit shirty with me
Ginny Weasley: Why?
Harry Potter: same old shite
she wants to talk about things i don’t really want to talk about
Ginny Weasley: Like?
Harry Potter: like how i feel about the dursleys, what happened to my parents, etc.
Ginny Weasley: Ah.
Could you just say that they’re not people you want to talk about and leave it at that?
Harry Potter: tried but idk she just thinks i dont trust her enough to tell her
or that i’m hiding something about why i don’t speak with them
Ginny Weasley: It’s nothing to do with her, though.
Harry Potter: idk seems like it's an issue no matter who i date
so maybe it is
Ginny Weasley: No I don’t believe that.
I understand why she wants to know you and understand you, but you can’t just demand that people share things before they’re ready to, and then turn it into an issue.
Honestly it just sounds like she has no idea what it’s like to not be able to talk about things.
I still can’t talk about… you know.
Harry Potter: yeah
even if it was something i was comfortable talking about i just… dont want to
theyre finally not part of my life anymore
Ginny Weasley: I get it. People have been that way with me, too. Demanding I talk about things I'd rather leave in the past.
Harry Potter: what have you done
Ginny Weasley: LOL honestly?
Dumped them.
But that’s not helpful, because maybe that’s why I can’t be arsed to date either.
Harry Potter: lol
we’re fucked eh
Ginny Weasley: Idk seems like you can’t get fucked because I keep interrupting LOL

Ginny Weasley: I’m 3 drinks in
Settle a debate
Harry Potter: ?
Ginny Weasley: If I asked you to come get drinks with me, would you?
Harry Potter: was that the debate…?
Ginny Weasley: It’s a theoretical question.
Harry Potter: so it was a fake invitation
a bit rude, tbh
Ginny Weasley: No it’s a real invitation and a fake invitation at the same time
Like that cat
Harry Potter: what cat
Ginny Weasley: The one in the science box.
Harry Potter: you sure about those 3 drinks
Ginny Weasley: I wanted to invite you out
Demelza said you’d probably come anywhere I asked you to
And I said she’s full of shit
So it’s a debate and an invitation
Harry Potter: hm
Ginny Weasley: What
Harry Potter: pretty tame invitation to settle that debate tbh
Ginny Weasley: You know, you’re right.
What’s something you’d never normally do?
Harry Potter: lol i’m not walking into that trap
Ginny Weasley: Hey Harry
Harry Potter: hey ginny
Ginny Weasley: If I asked you to meet us at that club by the main campus, would you?
Harry Potter: that depends
is demelza the sort to be smug
Ginny Weasley: She’s very gracious in her many victories.
Harry Potter: then yeah. i’ll meet you
Ginny Weasley: You will?
Harry Potter: yeah.
Ginny Weasley: Why? You despise dancing and crowds.
Harry Potter: it’s obvious, isn’t it
Ginny Weasley: ???
Harry Potter: i can’t let you win a debate
Ginny Weasley: Haaaaate you.
Harry Potter: or idk
maybe i just would
Ginny Weasley: You would?
Harry Potter: go anywhere you asked me to.
see you in like 20 mins

Harry Potter: hey
Ginny Weasley: Good morning! I had a blast last night.
Harry Potter: look, im going out of my mind
Ginny Weasley: Lol what??? I told you not to take that third tequila shot.
Harry Potter: no, it’s not that
i need to explain something
Ginny Weasley: Okay…
Harry Potter: i’m no good at this, and you know that about me but it seems like maybe you don’t care, or maybe i’m better at it because you’re you, idfk
but i want to try to be better, because ive realized i’ve been an absolute twat
Ginny Weasly: Wtf are you talking about??
Harry Potter: i realized cho was right to be upset about us. bc i fucking lied, before.
i said i fancied you in years 10/11, and i did.
but i never told you bc things are always shit with me. and you being ron’s sister, and me being a fuckhead, i just convinced myself to get over you bc i’d never want to risk ruining everything
but christ, you’re so funny and gorgeous and my best friend, ofc i’m not over you.
but i didn’t realize it until you were going on about how we couldn’t be mates anymore so i could fix things with cho
and i realized i’d choose just being mates with you over dating literally anyone else.
Ginny Weasley: Harry I about had a heart attack when you said you’d fancied me before.
I’ve had feelings for you my whole damn life, but I told myself you’d never see me that way and that I needed to move on.
Harry Potter: i know, i’m such an idiot, i should’ve said something ages ago
but i’m going mental
i’m fucked in the head and i blow up relationships like they’re bloody flammable, but then i think about you and it all doesn’t seem like its that hard, really
demelza was right, i’d go anywhere you asked me to bc i think i’m in love with you and i just needed you to know, even if you don’t feel that way for me anymore
Ginny Weasley: Even if I don’t feel that way for you anymore?!
Harry what the actual fuck, of course I do! I’ve been in love with you for YEARS, are you joking?
I’m losing it over here just reading your text, do you really mean that?
Harry Potter: i really mean it
Ginny Weasley: Then get your arse in my bedroom right now so I can snog your idiot face off

Harry Potter: ron took that better than i expected
Ginny Weasley: I resent his assumption that his opinion matters AT ALL, but yeah. No explosions.
Harry Potter: probably pushing my luck to go to your bedroom tho, huh
Ginny Weasley: Ron is not factored into this equation
But if you must, wait for him to go to sleep and sneak over.
Harry Potter: we’ll see if i make it that long
Ginny Weasley: LOL
Harry Potter: i’m such a fucking idiot i can’t get over it
we could’ve had this for years
Ginny Weasley: Yeah, being with you is… sort of everything? Idk how to explain it
Harry Potter: i get the better end of this deal so
Ginny Weasley: Shuuuttup you do not
Harry Potter: gin pls
you are so fit it’s not even fair lol. you’re unreal
Ginny Weasley: I know you told me you were in love with me and like we had crazy amazing sex last night and I look forward to repeating it shortly, but it’s still totally mental for me to read that
Harry Potter: are you joking
Ginny Weasley: I’ve been thirsting after you like a bitch lost in the desert for 10 years, and you just casually said you think I’m unfairly fit like it’s nothing? I’m deceased
Harry Potter: brace yourself
i think you’re unfairly fit and funny and beautiful and i wait for your texts like i’m in year 7
Ginny Weasley: i wrote a poem about how green your eyes were when i was 11
Harry Potter: seriously
Ginny Weasley: I did.
Harry Potter: can i read it
Ginny Weasley: If you’re good.
Harry Potter: i’ll be so good lol
Ginny Weasley: I’m losing patience with the whole being polite for Ronald situation.
Harry Potter: yeah it’s rapidly losing weight
Ginny Weasley: I’m so pathetically in love with you, you know that?
I can’t even describe how happy I am, how happy I've been all day.
Harry Potter: yeah, me too.
when i’ve tried to be with people before it’s always been…difficult
like i have to try so hard to make things feel natural and then its still not enough
i thought it was because i’m so fucked up or whatever, but now idk
now i think maybe it’s just been bc they weren’t you
Ginny Weasley: Wild, Ron just told me he’s asleep.
Harry Potter: oh he told you that, did he
Ginny Weasley: Yep, all slumber over in his bedroom, no concerns about sneaking in mine rn
Harry Potter: yeah fuck it i’m coming
