I was so excited when I found that article during my research for this story.  I do think JKR knows the connection - since she used it to great effect.  I love the Patronus Kiss concept - this entire story was basically a dare to prove the amazing power of fluff!  (I take these things to heart, you know.)  You'll like chapter seven, btw.

"Whatever kind of kisses Cho and Harry had shared, she hoped their first one hadn't been like hers – with one person crying and the other not quite sure what to do."

Classic! Bad-da-ba-ba-ba, I'm lovin' it!

Sorry about the typo, I meant Aunt Martha, not margaret.

Well, St. Margarets, I must say this has been a well-written fic up to this point.  I read the first chapter on Schnoogle at Fictionalley, I think, and was disappointed when I never saw it just die there.  Finding it here was a pleasant suprise. 

I like your Harry/Gin interaction.  Not an easy slippage into a relationship, but one that grows as they learn more about each other.  I like Aunt Margaret's subtle hints throughout the story.  Very Nice touch.

Hi Trey - I think you probably read this over at the Sugar Quill.  (I'm afraid of FictionAlley to tell you the truth).  For some reason the updating Process is going slowly over there right now.  So you will probably have more luck with updates here.  Thanks for your review!

Another lovely installment, St Margarets. The sunburn bit had me giggling. Ginny may have 6 brothers and a previous boyfriend but I loved her innocent interpretation of Harry's reaction.

The whole after dinner scene felt realistic to me and was very touching. I'm glad that Ginny is learning new things about her family from another POV.

I thought it was funny that Ginny can control the element of water and yet thinks that Harry is  a 'superior' wizard.

And a UST moment for a cliffie...  Happy sigh...

I think Ginny deserves to be a bit clueless at this point - she might have the benefit of all those brothers - but I think the Weasley boys are old-fashioned enough to not tell her everything about everything, if you know what I mean. 

Yes, Ginny has to learn about her own power - that's really the point of this whole story.  Point you say?  Is there a point?  I know it seems like the point is to resolve the UST - but there is still the Malfoy/Voldemort plot thread on the back burner.

There are so many great things about Phoenix Song - one being Sherry, and another being able to respond to reviews!

Yes, poor Harry - Ginny helped in some ways and made it worse in the others. :)

I love this story...your pacing is probably one of the best- draw it out, seeing their relationship slowly develop is very nice, and well done too, nice deatil about Ginny's past ship- course what she doesn't know is just how disasterous the Harry/Cho thing was - and so simular HE HE HE.

Great job so far- and Ginny's Aunt is a very good character- it rare we see a well developed character that fits so well.

This is excellent!I try not to start any unfinished fics, but when I see anything by you, I read it anyway.  Your writing is easy, humourus, and good! keep on writing, I'll read it! H/G forever. LOL

So interesting!  The Patronus Kiss idea is quite promising!    I also find the weasel/Weasley & rue connection verrrry innnteresting. 

I, too, can't wait to hear the entire Jarvey phrase.

I was quite happy when I found that bit of info about rue and weasels - research is so much fun when it's not for academia!

Another good chapter!  I am totally addicted to this story.  I'm reading Red is the Heart right now, but I think I like this Harry and Ginny better.  It's very uplifting and I like the tension and angst between the two.  It's just right.  Perfect, really.  Can't wait to see what happens next!

Brilliant! I'm looking forward to the update - as always! And I'm quite anxious to see how Harry and Ginny will finally get together... although I think the Patronus kiss will have something to do with that!

I love your story...it is amazing....and very creative.  Get with the Harry/Ginny stuff already...it is getting suspenseful.

Chapter six is written - and - oh my - you're just going to have to wait and see . . .

I realize how evil I have been to poor Harry - and I promise I will write not one - but two - seriously fluffy scenes for all my deprived readers. And I would never introduce a Patronus kiss without some serious snogging to go along with it! 

But I want you all to realize, that H/G have only been there for a week. Seven days!!!!  That's really not that long is it?  (Putting on best innocent face)

Poor Harry.  I think I was as evil to him as a fluff writer could be.

Again, a marvelous chapter.  I especially liked the conversation that Ginny shared with her aunt.  Aunt Martha's memories and personality would -- I think -- be most appreciated by the youngest Weasley.  As we see Ginny gain insight into her aunt, we can't help but see more deeply into Ginny. 

I am struck once more by your choice of Ginny's point of view for this story.  What a different story it would be if told by Harry.  I appreciate the chance you have given us to get to know her better. 

I was worried about trying something from Ginny's point of view - but I have really enjoyed it.  It has been fun to make up Aunt Martha's story and then to imagine how Ginny would react.  It's been a great way to learn her character.

I'm also enjoying the freedom of Ginny's being a girl - and therefore allowed to be more emotional.
