Very good...in the hero's journey, Ginny is the temptress. You captured that perfectly here and revealed the true reason she had to stay behind. Excellent. |

Thanks! When I wrote this I was getting a bit tired of the more common view that Harry didn't value Ginny enough to 'let' her accompany him. |

That's excellent. Seriously...I love Rowling's work but that scene didn't sit right with me...this makes it much better...Thanks! |

Hehehe ... thanks! If Rowling wrote every single thing that went through Harry's mind, we'd still be waiting for Chamber of Secrets! Luckily, she lets us play and fill in the gaps. Glad you found this plausible - I like to think it happened this way. |

I hadn't thought about Harry's reason for breaking off with Ginny in this way before (nor seen it in any other fanfic). I think you're absolutely right, and you presented it in such a realistic way. Great job! |

Wow, thanks for your review. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it could have been this way. |

you know why i loved this drabble? because it is such a unique
take on why harry broke things off with ginny. i keep reading in
other fics that it's harry's love for her that will enable him to
defeat v-mort... but really it's his love that would be the one reason
he wouldn't want to fight him. you captured it perfectly, i
think, with insight that i have not seen in any other fics as of
yet. this is so harry, and it so makes sense!! love it!

Thank you so much! Yes, I just had to write this because I hadn't seen it expressed quite the way I wanted it, though there are plenty of other fics and takes on it that I love. |

Ooo, this is so true and positively perfectly written. This has been the most realistic and best drabble I've encountered... |
