Summary
AU: When Voldemort fell for good at the end of the First Wizarding War, the wizarding world breathed easier – but Ginny Weasley was still handed Tom Riddle’s diary. After her rescue from the Chamber of Secrets, she’s sent across the Channel to Beauxbatons in France, where protective older brother Bill oversees her recovery and education.
Harry Potter, whose green eyes she first awakened to in the Chamber, maintains an active correspondence with her which grows intimate. Summers and holidays bring fleeting reunions, yet distance, misunderstandings and timing conspire to leave their connection suspended in almosts.
Years later, Ginny returns to England as Chaser for the Montrose Magpies. Harry, soon a Seeker on the same team, finds himself drawn back into her orbit.
Can they finally bridge the metaphorical ocean that has always kept them apart?

Summary
Ginny Weasley hadn’t expected Harry Potter to be an obstacle to her professional Quidditch ambitions. But then – she hadn’t expected him to disappoint her as a boyfriend after the war.
She hadn’t expected, either, for Harry’s new close friend, Draco Malfoy, to give her a lead into her new position as Chaser for the Montrose Magpies.
And she certainly hadn’t expected to be caught making out with the Magpies’ star Chaser, Alec Vaisey, just weeks after breaking up with Harry. But here we are.

Summary
Ginny Weasley once nursed a secretive, ill-advised crush on Draco Malfoy while dating Dean Thomas – not knowing that Draco was fixing the Vanishing Cabinet and plotting to kill Albus Dumbledore.
Now, nearly two years after the war, Ginny’s a starting Chaser with the Montrose Magpies. Draco joins her team as reserve Seeker – quieter, still lacquered in that brittle gloss, something feral flickering beneath.
And Ginny finds herself again circling the boy she could have loved, if only she’d dared.

Summary
Two years after the war, Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy know what it means to be second best. They don’t mind, at first: there are worse places to land, after a war.
Ginny, a rising Quidditch star, is perpetually sidelined by not-quite-boyfriend Harry Potter’s calling – his career, his trauma, his silence. Draco, engaged to Astoria Greengrass in name only, is more accessory than partner – his past an inconvenient footnote to her ambitions.
They run into each other having been stood up. What begins as snarky banter about surviving the indignity of being runners up together, may just turn into something more.
If only they had the strength to choose themselves.
Two runners up, and one last chance to come first.

Summary
Draco Malfoy had wanted Ginny Weasley since they were children, saved her favourite tarts like offerings. She never looked his way - until sixth year, when they kissed in an empty classroom and he had her, briefly. Then she chose Harry Potter, publicly.
Now she’s back as a Chaser for the Montrose Magpies, and Draco’s had years to study her emotional architecture: she wants what hurts, what doesn’t fit. That - he can manage.
A story about an unreasonably long-standing, foundational crush.

Summary
It is the summer of 1994. Ginny Weasley is attending a Quidditch summer camp in Wiltshire. Draco Malfoy is bored out of his mind at his manor home. They both find themselves drawn to the nearby woods, where a chance encounter changes everything for them.
Sixteen years later, neither Ginny nor Draco remember anything about this encounter, or the events that followed it. Draco, however, has always been haunted by strange dreams of a girl he can't remember. When he finds himself drawn to the woods again, he begins to unravel the mystery behind his dreams... and the dangers left behind in his past.
