Awesome, the best fluff I've read in a while. It's fantastic how you keep the plot going whilst filling it with the toils of romance. I'm a guy who hasn't watched a soap since the OC finished so maybe I can't appreciate the fact that Romance can be an entire story
Keeo up the great work...oh wait you have-24 chapters of it. **Downloads to phone** |

| This is a rough time for both of them. I really do think Ginny is being very immature. Harry asked her to marry him, she told him to ask again but she is being extremely difficult. I hope things smooth out a little in the future. Thanks for writing. p |

I'd thought that Harry was the mature one to Ginny's immaturity, but I see how right I was on the codependent comment when he ends up apologizing to Ginny after she was the one who said no. Poor guy, he needs to find someone who can give him the emotional nurture he needs (after all she was the one raised by a loving family while he's the orphan who was abused as a child). Its intriguing how your Harry can move beyond much greater psychic and physical trauma. I guess they're both nut cases and their relationship reflects that, very dysfunctional .

And I'm back. Really, real life things like eating and all that can be quite tedious when they interrupt a story like this one...
Still love mature Harry. Now I love him even better because I see how hard it is for him to be so - it makes him apear so real. Becuase why should he be a better person just like that, just because he defeated Voldemort and nearly died. Your characters have depth. And their relationship, too. |

At school the only time they had alone was when the curtains around Harry\'s bed were closed. Even Dumbledore had learned that failure to respect the \"do not disturb\" sign could have some very serious consequences.
Did you mean that Dumbledore interrupted them or was it a rumour that got to him or what?
At the end of a long day, when the war and too much homework had filled her with tension, his strong hands were there, gently easing the stiffness out of her troubled muscles. The groaning that accompanied it, and the contented grin that followed, only added to their reputation of being the most sexually active couple in Gryffindor Tower. Would that our relationship were that simple, she thought.
2 comments: 1| lol wish we could see some of that between them in a different story or a side-along or something... and 2| that last thought (Would that our relationship were that simple)... what? im confused as to what she meant by that...
\"I love you, Ginny.\"
\"And I\'m quite partial to you, too, Mr Potter.\"
I love how that whole seen took place. I might not finish the next chapter until later tonight but Ill start on it. Great work and Im stuck to the story lol.

Dumbledore opened the curtains himself. There is an unfinished out take on my hard drive which is unlikely to see the light of day.
that last thought (Would that our relationship were that simple)... what? im confused as to what she meant by that...
I think the following paragraph explains it. All that she is saying is that there's is not a normal teenage relationship, that it is more complex that that.
Thanks for all the reviews you'e been leaving and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.
If you want some back story try The Oak Tree. |

i was re-reading this, and i noticed something i didnt bother to review about the first time around...
and that is that in this story, you've added a unique amount of depth into Harry and Ginny's relationship that isnt common at all among fanfiction...perhaps not depth, but then at least an amount of complexity to the point that it becomes much more interesting.
that's one of the reasons why i like this story so much...thanks for writing!! |

Hi. Strange to say, but some of my beta team have commented more than once, that given the complexity of the relationship, I shouldn't be surprised that the story doesn't get more reviews.
Thank you for re-reading and taking the time to comment again. |

| I,m at sixes and sevens about this whole thing with ginny and Harry. I really think that Ginny acts more like an immature little girl than a mature 18 yr. old,and when you take into account that she did her last year while Harry was in St.Mungos, recuperating from the War,she must be 18,no matter what year he was born. She is not happy that he is no longer the moody boy she can take care of,but instead has confidence, and self-assurance. She needs a taking down by Harry instesd of him continuously apologizing for nothing or imagined things by Ginny.He needs to stand up for himself and not back down just cause he loves her. Maybe then she will grow up a bit.Great fic though. |

I thought I recognised the Sara Groves line. We have a fascinating split in our family, my wife and Daughter don't like her music, but my son and I love it.
Anyway, on the story, Thank you for fleshing out what is holding Ginny back. I think it is great to see be able to see how they can spend time learning about Ginny when their relationship has mainly been about Harry and helping him through the challenges of his life. Oh that more relationships went through this before marriage.
the characterisations thenselves are relly nicely done although we haven't seen much of the minor characters yet, I would imagine they will flesh out more as the interaction increases.
Good work,

Well you're the second person to recognise
the line, so well done! Thankfully one of my betas did too.
If you want to know what the theme of the story is, it’s about the two of
them growing up. Harry has had a bit of a head start on this, and Ginny's life
is going to get harder before it get better.
The fic is very H/G centred so don't expect a lot of other couples. The twins
do get a full role to play though.
Thanks for the review

Nice nice nice.
This is different in that Ginny isn't being "miss perfect" and Harry isn't being the suave, confident-with-women guy that some fic writers make him out to be.
I like the conflict.
But...
You are going to have to resolve it. Gin's past troubles is a HUGE stumbling block. I hope Harry gets her to open up about it. And conversely, I hope to see Harry open up to Gin about it too.
As a guy, though, I tend to take Harry's side and say she's being a bit TOO unreasonable. And he DID jump the gun with the ring .. but if she really does love him, she'll not be so ... um ... snobby?
No.
Stuck up? No. Pretentious? Almost. Ah... Hermione-like. That kind of reaction would be something Hermione would say. Ginny, on the other hand, would have used raw emotion instead of rational "let's wait a year and find out" thinking.
Or maybe I'm overthinking this and should shuffle off to my corner and wait for Chapter 5.
Hurry up and post it! I'm dying here! |

Yes there are things that need to be resolved on both sides, and part
of the story is about that. Was Ginny being too reasonable? Well, she
was trying to mislead Harry so the best way to do that was to be
reasonable. After all, if she had responded from the heart then she
would have let the cat out of the bag. And that is not something she is
willing to do at the moment.
But thanks for the review, and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Even Dumbledore had learned that failure to respect the "do not disturb" sign could have some very serious consequences. That
one line is priceless! As for the rest, this is a brilliant look
at H/G dancing around as they try to discover themselves and each other.
We need a side story with that lesson. *grin*

| A lot of the back story comes out in flashback form, some in the
chapters and some will be one-shots. I working on one such out-take,
describing how they got together, that ties into the next chapter. Hopefully the two will come out
together.

Things are definitely confusing here. Too early to make much in
the way of comments, as you haven't revealed all your cards yet.
kudos to Harry, though, for telling her how he feels, and not running
off when it *appears* that she is rejecting him. Ginny is
definitely covering something up, though.
