Yes, I am absolutely in love with this story. Ron's humor is just perfect and I don't think I've ever read a story that captures him so well.
"Does Hermione know you're blaming this on her?"
Haha I burst out laughing when I read that. Wonderful job! Thank you for making my Sunday afternoon just a little bit more enjoyable |

This is so sweet!
My eyes got a little watery too, thinking about young Harry and Ginny that first time on Platform 9 3/4.
Well done Aggiebell |

*grins* Thanks SO much! For some reason, the Harry that lives in my head is a little sappy. He may not know how to express it, but I think he cherishes memories like that, because his childhood before he got to go to Hogwarts was so wretched.

LOVE THIS.
It's just brilliant, you capture Ron so well, he's funny, and adorable and messes things up in such a Ron way, too, but somehow - somehow - it works out. It's fab.

It's all wonderful. You do Ron's POV perfectly.
I could picture the final scene-Dinner, as I'm sure you can guess, was a complete madhouse. Mum squealed with happiness when Harry and Ginny made their announcement and then went into a full-blown panic when she realised the wedding was only five months away. Dad's eyes got a little watery when he looked at Ginny. I could just tell he was thinking some sappy rubbish about his sweet baby girl. George passed Percy a Galleon--apparently they had bet about when Harry and Ginny would get engaged and Percy won.
And me? When Ginny stood up and snogged the hell out of Harry, right there in the kitchen...I grabbed Hermione and did some snogging of my own.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, yeah? |

| Yay! I'm glad you like it! I hadn't written much of Ron before I wrote Matchmaker...he's very fun to write. And he truly took over on these two stories--I really had no say at all in what I wrote. |

Brilliant! Sweet ! I love how funny you make him sound - his canon humor was somehow weakened in our translation and it´s a bit tiring having to explain the fans here how funny he is in the original story
One little question: why is the setting stated as pre-OotP?
Great story, thanks for sharing.
(Well, what about George and Angelina, then?) |
| Tuesday 15th September 2009 22:16 | Making Up for Lost Time (Author Response) |
Thanks so much!
I definitely want to write George and Angelina's story, but there are other things I need to write first.
And I think the OotP thing was just a mistake in the upload--thanks for pointing that out!

| Excellent! I laughed out loud. "So Ginny's a non-starter." I'll be chuckling about that for days. I like this whole little "series" about Ron. Hope to see more. You have really nailed his character. |

*grins* Thanks so much! I'm quite fond of Ron the Matchmaker myself. He's very fun to write.
I definitely want to write George and Angelina's story, and I'm thinking about doing one for Neville and Hannah (because I fangirl Neville and I think it'd be a hoot to see how Ron could push those two together). But I have a list of other stories in various stages of completion that I really want to finish before I start anything else. That said, if the muse wants to write Ron, I've learned to just give in and write him--he's very pushy! |

You've got Ron's voice down perfectly. I can just see him ruminating over having to see Harry snog Ginny more than he'd care to. I also love the dumbfounded way he takes the news that Harry and Ginny are getting married before he and Hermione are, how he had thought that Harry and Ginny would get married after he and Hermione did.
Great story! It gets for making me grin. |

Hee! Thanks so much, Arnel! Ron is really a LOT of fun to write, especially when you're doing something lighthearted and from his POV. He just kind of took over, so I went with it.

Poor delusional Ron... like he had anything to do with Harry and Ginny getting together! He could barely manage getting together with Hermione!
Very sweet, thanks! |

*grins* Well...he sort of had something to do with getting Harry and Ginny together in Matchmaker, although they would've gotten there eventually without his "help".
Thanks for commenting!

Absolutely wonderful - funny and sweet and fluffy. A great treat.
I especially love Ron thinking, Chalk that up to a lesson well-learned. Hopefully, I'll remember that next time. Poor Ron - if he actually learned the lesson, he would remember it next time!
Thank you for well-written and amusing tidbit! |
