Yay! even though I have previously read this story, I wanted to go through it again and give you my thoughts as you deserve it especailly for sharing such wonderful work.
1.I liked how Ginny 'claimed' Harry's jumper even though she wasnt meant to. Great idea that was - and I liked how it showed up at the end of the chapter again
2. The quote 'Potter, you've irked me long enough.' Is this a quote that you made up or have I missed this in one of the books?
3. Looking forward to some more Harry/Ginny Fluff in the next chapter

I don't know why Phoenix Song arranged these stories as three chapters - I wrote Wallpaper Moments as a stand-alone and then a few month later I wrote a follow up - I didn't plan on any kind of longer story. Anyway - Voldemort does telll Harry he "irks" him during the battle at the Ministry Atrium. I don't remember if I got the quote exactly right - maybe - it was really "you've irked me before" - but irk is canon. Thanks for re-reading this again! This was one of my earliest stories.
What is sweet??!!!
A lot is going on with me and Ginny.
Perfect, you've really got the teenager responses down! I love how Harry needs details spelled out for him and Ginny seems to just 'know'.
Trust seems to be Ginny's biggest issue here. I don't know if you've read 'Easier to Be' by hgfan1111 but in that story she explores Ginny's recovery with trust issues stemming from the chamber incident. That's only one of the themes she writes about in that story, and the two stories were written years apart, but this reminds me of that.

I wrote this long before HBP came out, but I'm not surprised other writers have clued in on that aspect of the Chamber incident. It would be a nasty memory that poor Ginny would have to carry around with her. Thanks for reading!
I like the development of their relationship in this story, they start out friendly and move to hopeful-for-possibly-more. Their banter and circumstances are entertaining and thoughtful, glad you threw in a few short tempered lines just to show all is not perfect. Just normal. Just Harry. Just Ginny.

I'm glad you liked this very old story! It's one of the first I ever wrote. Thanks for letting me know.
He waved that aside. "Annual event. Dumbledore saved me. Anyway..."
lol i laughed so hard when i saw that! i can just see him sitting there, waving off the fact that someone tries to kill him anually! priceless.
the synonyms for irked were quite amusing as well. especially since the conversation began with "You want to know something funny?""What?"
"Before Voldemort was going to kill me –".
this is a great story. i just finished reading Magic Within, Magic Without and decided to see what else you had written. I realized that i had read The New Zealand Chronicles and its companions on another site (SIYE, perhaps?) a long time ago. I'm glad to have stumbled across your stories again.

I'm glad you liked it. It's one of my first stories I ever wrote. (And outdated, I'm afraid) Thanks for reading and letting me know!
What an imaginative and wonderful way to bring Harry and Ginny closer. The conversations they hold during this part are heartfelt, funny and you can almost feel the spark between them. I laughed out loud at the 'yes dear' 'no dear' part. Way to put Harry in his place! A great start to one of my favorite long term pieces.

I'm glad you liked this story. It was one of my first pieces of fan fiction. I still think that Ginny always symbolized home for Harry and this was my way of showing that.
dryer? why wouldn't Harry uses a drying charm? Oh, yes . . . no underage magic .
'"So, is this upside down?" she asked as she started to peel it away from the wall. "No, dear," he replied dutifully.' --
Argh ... bad timing Mrs. Figg .
Nice of Hedwig to watch over sleeping Harry .

This was one of my first fan fics. I'm glad it's still enjoyable, even though HBP made it AU. Thanks for reading!
Your stories were recommended to me by a fellow fic. writer and I can definitely see why. This first chapter certainly does not disappoint. I love how you developed their friendship into a bit more. It was touching they way their trust developed for each other as the day wore on...and let's face it, anyone who can survive the task of wallpapering together and still like each other in the end must have something special. :)The scenes on the ladder and with the egg beater were priceless. This chapter brought to the forefront how much the two of them really need each other and that they can provide something for each other that no one else really can. Great job! I look forward to more.
I don't think I've ever reviewed this story before. I just wanted to say that I love the characterization for Harry and Ginny. I like the Harry because it just like I think he will be...a little indecisive at first, but when he figures out others have confidence in him he come around. Ginny in this is a little different that she is typically presented in the fandom. Usually, she is portrayed as carrying the eternal torch. Here you see her strength of character in that she is concerned about Harry, but not looking for more than he is willing to give. I also love her vulnerability about sharing her feelings. I mean after the diary, it makes since that she is nervous about sharing herself with anyone. and in .

This is why I like H/G - they are so complex, yet they are so right for each other - sigh.
