This is part 23 of
An Ounce of Prevention, a Naruto/Harry Potter crossover that I started as a giftfic for
askerian.
Technically, it's an insertion of one HP character/plot device into the Naruto world, but that does count as a crossover of sorts. "An Ounce of Prevention" will not affect canon in either series; that is, it takes place during the Naruto

An optimistic fool indeed. Woe.

I meant to do a funny thing with Ginny, only then I couldn't think of anything funny. Then I tried to make her into an amateur Dark Lady, but that didn't quite pan out either. So I was left with another iteration of 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions,' only I'd already used that title, so I went with 'all roads lead to Rome' instead, meaning that CoS is fated to happen.
Which bothers me, but not enough to try rewriting the thing yet again.

Still, this was a great story and congrats on finishing it ^^;. I love the way you wrote Sakura.

Ginny was canonically naive enough (or stupid enough, or distracted enough) not to realize that she shouldn't have trusted Tom when she didn't know where he kept his brain. And apparently her parents had warned her about that at least once, judging by Mr. Weasley's reaction at the end of the book.
So I figure that if she thinks she's helping Harry, it would be very easy to slide in over her head before she realizes just how much of a hold Tom has on her.

I rationalize the second epilogue as an attempt to get back into the right headspace for writing "Secrets," which does, after all, have a running theme of Ginny trying to do everything on her own, and therefore getting into ten times more trouble than she needs to.

The first epilogue is the one that really seemed to cap things off. I always did wonder how Lucius got the diary... *shifty eyes* Now we know, don't we?
I loved the entire thing, very much.

I wanted the first epilogue to feel like it could have been genuine off-page canon. The second was meant to be a joke, but refused to be funny.
