| Great! Absolutely great! Hedwig's part in it was the best, it wouldn't have ended any better way. Wonderful job!!! |

| This is a great way of getting Harry and Ginny Back on track, I hope JKR does something like this in the next book. We will see in a week if it goes down like this. I for one hope so, Harry does need Ginny. |

Oh, this is just splendid. I have no idea how I missed it before. Sherry was right about combining the two pieces.
Right now the shift to Hedwig's POV at the end is what really captures my attention -- you nailed it perfectly. I could enumerate the ways in which you nailed it, but my enumeration would be as long as the whole passage. I grinned and chortled out loud and said "brilliant!" and my daughter wanted to know what was going on.
Petunia's change of heart and manner is breathtaking and heartbreaking and actually believable -- if I were writing a scene like that my biggest fear would be that Petunia'd come off false.
As for the train -- one of my best friends married her young man knowing he had cancer that was probably terminal. They had only a year or two together; so it hit me in the gut. |

oh, I love it! My favorite parts were Petunia's shock ("Has he ever shown you a picture of his mother, my sister?... Hmm, do get him to do that.") and Hedwig's POV at the end.
I'm glad you combined the Ginny going and Harry waiting stories into one, they just belong together.

Thanks so much! The two halves of the story were always meant to be part of the same plot, but I agree—Sheralyn's suggestion that I shuffle the two together really did make for a much better story.
And yeah—the Hedwig bit is my favorite too.  |

| Oh, I really loved that, especially the last bit in Hedwig's pov. I like how she looks at them as owls and talks about nestlings and knows Ginny by her address, it was really cute and original. Well done. |

| Oh...my...God, Hedwig's perspective is so hilariously perfect! I love, love, love it. Especially love how Hedwig refers to Harry and Ginny as her boy and his mate. And the bit about her identification of Ginny by full name and address. |

Wonderful! And definitely meant to be "all rolled together" in one chapter. I especially liked the end. Hedwig's pov is so much clearer than we stupid humans allow ourselves to see things... |

| Great story, just beautiful in its detail and emotion and humour. I loved Ginny's little rehearsal in her head just before knocking on Harry's door, but I loved the real thing even more. |

| Oh, that was...wonderful. Breathtakingly, at some points. The imagery, the detail, the progression - absolutely wonderful. I loved the dualing point of views, the Muggle man at the beginning, Hedwig at the end. It was a perfect blend of humor, tenderness, and sadness all at the same time. Wow. |

| heh. That Hedwig pov at the end was funny. The nice Petunia was rather shocking though... |

It was a great idea to combine these two (related) stories to make one very, very good one.
I do think Ginny understands Harry and his motivations better than just about anyone else (Gowdie's essay on why Harry chose Ginny - which I believe you encouraged her to post on the HP Essays site - is instructive on their connection) and I wonder if she won't show unusual and admirable restraint in Book 7 in keeping her distance from Harry; at least at the beginning.
That said, I like this version a lot. |
