A bit of foreshadowing in context to this chapter, I really liked what you did with Theodore Nott. I always thought Harry's side needed a good slytherin ally. Other than that, nice start to this marvelous story. Way to make and entrance Harry. Show off as always.

Yes, Snape would certainly agree with the show off part! I would have loved a Slytherin ally in the series. Regulus was as close as we got, I guess.
Hi I love your story but I wished you would have put down that the wallpaper story,etc. should be read before this one. I didn't read your stories in order and didn't get all the in jokes. Oh well now I'll just have to force myself to read it again!
I really liked the interactions between and I don't think I could see him braiding her hair though. Its too sweet but I liked it. My boyfriend, now husband, liked to brush my long hair in highschool. He's sweet but not a typicle male.

The braiding thing came from "Lucky Me." Maybe it will seem more natural after reading that story. Harry has always noticed Ginny's hair, which is where I came up with that idea.
Yup I like starting a finished fic from the beginning, Love the beginning, hate Snape (Bad Snape Bad) of course my fav couple and some nice foreshadowing- no Malfoy- never liked the little ferret anyway
Decided to re-read one of my favorite stories from one of my favorite authors. I love the portrayal of Harry and Ginny in your stories. Harry is growing up and maturing instead of staying the angry, clueless 15 year old he was in OOTP and your Ginny is different than anyone elses portrayal. Almost everyone else portays her as a naive innocent with a sharp sense of humor or as no nonsense, take no prisoners, I am woman hear me roar young woman. You have found the middle ground where Ginny genuinely seems act the way a 15 year old girl would with her insecurities and confidences. I like how it is fairly obvious that she is very much taken with Harry yet is afraid to vocalize her feelings.
Quite frankly I think your Ginny is the best I've read. And yor Harry ties with Sib's from The Awakening Power. Personally, I think if I would write Harry for the sixth year he would be a blend of the two. A little more confident and driven than your Harry like the one in TAP, but not no where nearly as clueless about his emotions concerning the opposite sex like your Harry.
with in a story just rocks!!!

Oh dear - going back over a story certainly gives one the chance to see where improvements could be made, etc. . .
I do like Ginny alot - she is very complex - and also very human. Because we don't see as much of her in canon - I think that it is easier for an author to make her their own creation. I really tried to take in account all five books worth of Ginny - because I think it is a disservice to her character to suddenly jettison the elbow in the butter dish just because she got her voice back. Everyone has an "elbow" moment now and then.
Harry is harder to figure out because he has been through so much - yet he is a survivor bar none. What JKR is going to do with him is anyone's guess. I think the anger stage is over - so hopefully the healing and reaching out will begin in HBP.
Well... an interesting begin to what promises to be an interesting story, I'm assuming. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. I want to know about the dragons!
Oh, good! the sequel to Lucky Me ! ...And it's going to be multi-chaptered as well! I can hardly wait! I've really enjoyed the other three stories and this one really promises to deliver.
It was good of Professor McGonagall not to punish Harry and Ginny, in spite of what Snape wanted to do. I also really like how you're giving us a glimps of what's going on with Ron and Hermione. This is going to be interesting...
Please post again soon. I'm eagerly awaiting Chapter One.
now I'll just have to force myself to read it again! 
and 
I don't think I could see him braiding her hair though. Its too sweet but I liked it. My boyfriend, now husband, liked to brush my long hair in highschool. He's sweet but not a typicle male.
I love the world you've created for these characters!
