Do you think Harry and Ginny fight often or not? And how do they make up at the end? I've always wondered about these things
Not as often or as constantly as Hermione and Ron. No, when Harry and Ginny fight, they aren’t casual flirty tiffs. The everyday small annoyances roll off both of them more or less. From the outside, they seem perfectly even-keel, Ginny’s occasional waspish comment just met with Harry’s wry amusement. They seem to understand each other perfectly.
All to say that when they do fight, it’s for the big things.
Their fights are almost always shouting matches because sometimes Harry just isn’t capable of putting things into words unless he’s shouting and Ginny’s patience isn’t endless and her temper has always been her weak point. They don’t fight very often, but when they do, they make it count, and it never happens in front of other people. Harry can’t stand to be made a spectacle of, and besides, their fights are brutal and personal, and things neither of them want to share with others. Ginny can be rash and thoughtless when she’s at her worst, and sometimes doubles down on her mistakes before coming to her senses. Harry’s more likely to retreat and get broody and snappish, but Ginny doesn’t let that lie, calling him out on it and never giving him space to stew. So, yeah, they don’t fight often, but when they do it’s deep and loud and a ‘bring the house down’ kind of a thing that they definitely have to train themselves out of once they have children. The only good thing about it is that they don’t leave anything on the table. It’s all out at once.
But they also break fast, like a giant furious storm that leaves them heaving and breathless and exhausted, and instinctively seeking out the comfort of the other person. They fight hard but forgive quickly, but not just by repressing it all. They talk it out quietly in the exhausted aftermath, usually huddled together–everything nasty and held back and hidden already flung about and revealed and unable to be forgotten again, which lets them figure out how to do better, eventually falling back on apologies and physical contact and alternatively explosive and deeply emotional makeup sex. Ginny never fails to tell him she loves him after a fight, and it calms Harry more than anything else, this reconfirmation of what is between them, of what she feels for him. He isn’t as free and easy with his words, but never leaves her doubting how important and vital she is to him.
