| I really liked this story, it takes some time to get threw his big scull but in the end he gets to see that Ginny is a person with more grasp on how to handel Harry then an other in his world. |

| I know this is from 2004, but I absolutely loved it. It was so sweet and genuine, and it showed a remorseful, grieving Harry without being utterly over the top. Very tastefully done. |

| That was perfectly sweet! And just how I would have imagined it happening. Ginny rambling on, and here's Harry *actually* listening. MM. |

Congratulations on having this story chosen as Story of the Week!
I really like how persistant Ginny is and that she just keeps Harry company while not asking anything of him other than to let her be in the same room with him.
I smiled all the way through. Great story! |

In a world on angst, a nice bit of fluff is SO welcome. I've noted before that fluff gets boring if not done well, but you really captured the essence of the canon characters and made them come alive!
Oh, and congradulations on an excellent guess at when Harry finally starts to notice Ginny. |

| This is the very best,'learning to deal with, and slowly move on from Serius,s death' that I have ever read. Extremely well thought out and written. |

| I still like it, and the thing I like best is the mental image you create with Ginny's incessant talking like a constant stream that starts turning the wheels in Harry's head. |

This is a delightful story. I absolutely loved Ginny's monologue and Harry's thoughts. Chatty Ginny, indeed.
His bringing her a slinky was such a kind thing to do. |

Very nice story. Not mushy, just a nice beginning of a deeper friendship.

So many sixth year fics (mine included) involve lots of storm and stress for Harry...big relevations, gasping, sobbing, raging...it was sort of his M.O. in Book 5...but this is so perfect...SUBTLE. Subtle and perfect.
Nicely done! |

| Aww, what a great story. I really like the idea of Ginny talking nonstop to cheer Harry up. It definitely seems like something she would do. Very creative title too. Loved the ending. |

The idea behind this story was very interesting. I really liked that you went back to something we know about Ginny (she never shuts up) and expanded on it. It was a nice little friendship story.
I might go back and edit the parts with Hermione just a bit. A few of her lines seemed a little out of character. Examples:
"[The books I already own] didn't make me happy!"
and
"Blushing Harry? I suppose you saw Cho Chang down the street with Michael Corner then?"
Those lines just didn't sound right to me. I don't think Hermione finds happiness or fulfillment in her books (although she enjoys them) and I don't think she would tease Harry like that. But that's just my opinion.
I liked the story though, and thought the little Weasley ancedotes were adorable. And it was great to see Ginny reaching Harry just through her persistence. It's just so...Ginny of her, I guess. Anyway, good job. |

"but none of that mattered as Harry reveled in being a teenager"
Finally! People push him far too far sometimes, he just needs to be a kid!
Glad you resurrected the slinky, it was my favourite childhood toy.
Nicely written and stays true to form. Thank God Ginny is there to save Harry. Congrats! |

That was great! Go, Ginny!
I love that she talked him out of his stuper. |
