I'm really enjoying your story. I think you've given a very realistic insight into Ginny's mind at the time. It's hard to imagine the guilt and awkwardness that she must have felt, but you've done an excellent job writing and explaining it in this piece.

Dear Aschowin,
The real writing challenge was bearing in mind that Ginny is basically a cheerful, resilient person, so she would deal with the trauma better than most. It was difficult to make the trauma sound real yet still keep Ginny in character. So I'm glad you recognised JKR's Ginny in my writing. Thanks for reviewing.
So charming, I love this chapter. Poor Ginny just feels so alone but she has so many people caring for her. I completely understand her feelings about Hermione. It’s funny how Ron is completely off her radar in terms of boys that Hermione might like, and also that she can’t even comprehend that any girl wouldn’t automatically like Harry Potter. I love Colin and George at the end there and all of Ginny’s ‘friends’. Love it!

Dear Ladybug,
Twelve-year-olds don't see much beyond their noses, do they? Ginny is doing well to have put Tom Riddle behind her even as much as she has ... but Hermione is certainly her Boggart for today.
