Chapter 14
Ginny loves her brothers, all six of them, starting at Bill and ending with Ron.
They're all the best boys she knows, each one smart and funny and strong and willing to protect her, each in their own way.
They each smile at her and tell her how they love her, and she returns the gestures with the knowledge that every word, every grin, every look shared between the seven of them, is one hundred percent true.
Yet, once she wakes up after the Chamber of Secrets, those smiles seem a bit more strained, and the words "would die for you" are added on.
She doesn't want anyone to die for her, but she appreciates the sentiment, and loves the hugs.
And if she sometimes enjoys running into them under the mistletoe at Christmas time a little bit too much from then on, then, well.
She doesn't think that much more needs to be said.
