They both nodded soberly, but Ginny couldn't see how their knowing could possibly affect anything.

I am really enjoying the subtle interplay between Harry and Ginny here. I'm getting the feeling that they are both trying not to do too much reading between the lines. The conversations you give them, with just the right touch of prickliness, have your usual ring of reality about them.

Baffy, off to the next chapter...

The usual good post...and there's that flung arm again (probably smote a hundred spiders where it landed.  Icky, dark, close, spidery places...).  This "bed test" puzzled me, though not in a bad way.  Not sure who was tested this time, or what the "test" was.  I'm curious to see what else is in store.

Rather...interesting of Aunt Martha to give Ginny such a tiny space to sleep in. 

I'm still loving the mystery of this place: the well, the startled cow, and that silly jarvey. 

Hurrah!  Looking forward to this weekend's update.  :)

The "bed test" wasn't meant to be an overt element in the story.  I brought it up in a review response to explain where I got the idea.  I do think you will notice in the next chapter, in the third "bed scene," that while the beds are farther apart - H/G are closer. 

The idea of "testing" I am writing right now in chapter six - so it is great you brought up that idea for me to think about.

I know that you were worried that Ginny's concern over her girliness wouldn't ring true.  So, as someone who was the only girl in her family, and who grew up with four older brothers, let me just assure you that Ginny's feelings are spot-on.  I had a serious flashback to my childhood while I was reading that whole passage! 

I liked it when Aunt Martha realized that, although Harry and Ginny shouldn't be too hard on the adults for making the mistake of withholding information, they still had a right to their anger.  I was becoming a bit indignant with her before she acknowledged that!    You've created a great OC in her.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter, and thanks to you and Sherry for the quick updates!

Another wonderful chapter!  It always makes my evening when I see your name on the Updates List.  Then I know it's time to settle back with a cup of tea to lose myself in your newest chapter and the latest segment in Harry's and Ginny's adventure.

The anxiety clock just cracks me up...it worries in all the right places with all the right sentiments.  It's the perfect touch of humor.  I also love the jarvey; I can hardly wait to find out what Ginny teaches it to say about Draco.  I was really touched by Harry's concern for Ginny's fear of spiders; he's really making an effort to understand her and get to know her better and I can easily picture him sacked out on the floor of the box room sound asleep.  My husband has a lot in common with Harry; he, too, can sleep anywhere.

I'm looking forward to your next chapter.

Great story- nice ramp-up, your setting this up as a nice romance, let that guide you. I find it very interesting in the hundreds of fics I have read Harry is usually portrayed this way- quite, sweet, very brave, very loyal, and a bit of a hopeless romantic- the dark brooding hero type.

keep at it, great fic-  H/G forever!!!!

Aww...that was so sweet!  I love Thoughtful!Harry.  Both of them showing their trust in the other was such a lovely thought as well. 

I wonder what Ginny being able to find that well means?

I really think the trust thing is important - esp. for Ginny who was betrayed her first year. 

Aww. I'm really enjoying watching this mystery unravel.  What is Ginny's significance? Who does this refer to?:"That cat is an Animagus!" and, dare I say it, when will  and  get together? It may not happen in this story, but I'll still enjoy it!

They will get together in this story. I would feel seriously fluff-deprived if I couldn't write that scene - and I'm sure the readers would feel that way too!

Supper? You want supper? Didn't you people eat six hours ago? Oh - er. sorry - that's not how I am in RL or anything! LoL. 

I'm glad you liked this chapter - which is more than I can say for my family and the "chicken again?" meal I prepared last night.  The more I think about it, the more satisfying writing really is . . .

Maybe if his back hurts from sleeping on the floor she'll massage it for him.  Also, funny that they have already 'bunked' together, why not again?

I am so caught up in the environment that you artfully painted.  I love the setting and the characters.  Auntie is a hoot!  Harry is *sigh* just right.  I love that he was angry on Ginny's behalf at the information that they kept from her.  Perhaps some teamwork sparking in their eyes? 

This is so far beyond fluff, and yet, at the same time it satisfies the fluffilicious nature of this average H/G-reader.  Joy!

Ima, do I have a scene for you in Chapter five!  Remember that - chapter five - you'll see that great minds think alike!
