Ohmigod... ha this is'nt the best story I have read on P.s.net but its one of them, I love Ginny's thinking
Oh dear, she thought, here it comes. That'll teach you to be too pushy. Can't 'wow' the witches of the world from a broomstick, if you've got a red-haired harpy hanging on the back.
wait, why am i wasting time reveiwing when there is reading to be done *slaps self*
*goes back to reading Fanfic* Now, why dont you stop making your story's soo good, then i wont waste time reveiwing about how great I think your stories are and can read them instead! (Jk I love your stories just the way they are)
Wow, this is great! Harry actually proposed. I am so surprised. I guess all the second guessing had me guessing. Thanks for writing. I look forward to more of this story. p
Wow...marriage for Ginny! That one certainly came out of the blue, I just thought that they would get 'closer' together but not marriage. Get twist there
couldn't resist sending you a quick comment on this chapter. Your story is well witten so far, few mistakes and interesting plotline. But, as a French speaker and as a translator, I'd like to advise you to be careful with the automatic translation tools you find on the Net. I must admit your translation of "Naturally, step this way. I'll make sure you're not bothered." into "Naturellement, étape de cette façon. Je m'assurerai que tu es aucun dérangé." had me laughing for a while. A more accurate translation of this could be "Naturellement, venez par ici. Je m'assurerai que vous n'êtes pas dérangés." Although I think waiters usually say "Suivez-moi", which means "Follow me". Just goes to say, whenever you write sentences in another language, getting someone who speaks that language to review it is always good . Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for the comments. Most of the French is my rusty O-Level polished(!) by regular trips to France. I'm aware of the pitfalls of the on line translation stuff as my daughter used it once for her home work and didn't get that good a mark *laughs*
I do now have some one in my pre-beta team whose French is better than mine so hopefully chapter 15 onwards will be error free.
I'll speak to my beta about amending this chapter. I'm happy for you to suggest other corrections as well.
Yay! I love it when people engagments go slightly off course. I'm just
happy that their married. But you left us with a cliffhanger!
Anywho, I really like this story. It's very different to see harry and
Ginny is a slightly... confused (?) relationship. I mean, they kiss and
stuff, but things are missing. I have to say though, that's one of the
things that drew me in in the first place. Until the next chapter,
Insquequo terminus,

*laughs* they're not married yet, but some very perceptive comments. Thanks for reviewing.
Heh. Very nice chapter. I love having you write Ginny. And I loved the
joking between Harry and the twins - very easy going and natural. I
can't wait to see what Ginny's reaction is going to be.
You are a cruel, cruel author to stop there. Nicely done, though! Given the rather angsty tone so far, I have a sinking feeling that "yes" isn't going to be 's immediate answer... Please don't twist us too tightly around your little finger before you set things right between them!

Its all a question of what you consider 'right' to be isn't it ? Thanks for the review.
AAGGHH!! Uh-hem...Please excuse the girlish scream. Way to go Harry! Wow, it seem that almost all of the storys I've read today have ended in Harry proposing! Not that I have a problem with it...*smirks* Great job hope to here more soon! *hint, hint*
Awww. Can't wait to read of Ginny's reaction in the next chapter!
I thought your description of their 'platonic' relationship over the
course of the war in the first chapter was very well done, nice and
'warm'. Certainly set things up nicely for Harry's (predictable)
proposal. Brad.

Thanks for the review. It seems you are one of the few that saw the proposal coming
I hope Ginny says yes. I loved the tension in this chapter and Ginny second guessing Harry's feelings for her. Wonder what the family's reaction is going to be to the news (they really haven't officially dated yet).
I loved the teasing of Ron by Ginny - brilliant stuff.

Well, Ron asked for it didn't he? He should know better than take his sister on like that. I'm glad you're liking it.
