Oh, man, I still adore your Ginny to pieces, even (or especially?) when she's this deliciously fucked up.
I love this section:
But inside feels defeated, her secret identity revealed. The sly, sexy girl she had been trying to impose on her own slight frame has slipped out of the room; Ginny feels the apron returning from the garbage can and her tortoise shell barrettes were almost rattling in the drawer.
One of the things that works really well for me in a post-Hogwarts Ginny is the idea that she's hiding or running from her past, even trying to be someone else. So many people seem to forget about the impact the diary incident must have had on her when she was 11--I don't think she could ever feel truly "normal" after that.
