Mimic, liar, and agressive (doesn't want to be left behind). Yup, that's our current Ginny. In fact, in light of that, I've suggested, and had my elder daughter shoot me down, that Ginny got a bit more in the Riddle exchange than just a near-death experience. Don't those traits belong in Slytherin House? It isn't the journey, but the ends, that justify the means.
Of course, being the ultimate Little Sister could have sparked a *normal* desire not to be left behind. Supposedly she has wanted to go to Hogwarts since Bill went, back when she was probably still in the WW's version of Pull-Ups. But, it seems to go beyond that, and completely without canon to boot. She acquits herself well at the Ministry, yet Harry's decided she's in a better position if he breaks it off??? Even sweet, thoughtful, kind Ginny would get upset over that. It's Ginny Sue's reaction to it that I wonder about.
How much of her behavior is genuine, and how much is she putting on whatever 'face' she needs to get what she wants.
Absolutely. From what was said, I'd say a good portion of her dating other guys, flirting around, being the outspoken Wonder Witch, only comes from following Hermione's advice. She was completely being herself when she quietly pined over Harry, so obviously she must change. That she did a good enough job to convince the people who know her, shows her lying abilities. But, I really don't think it's real.
So, what is she going to do? Go back to pretending that it doesn't really matter that Harry left her for his hunt? Get angry and toss a Bat-Bogey in his direction? Find another guy to get Harry's interest sparking again? Lose the luster in her hair and mope around like Tonks? Get fat and start cooking for the Order so she might be around wherever Headquarters is next book so she can get a glimpse of her once and future love? Date Draco? Date Voldemort? Date Minerva? Go to EuroDisney?
