I think your interpretation of Ginny is true to what her family know of her, she can be volatile and outspoken, and she is just learning how to make the best of things. Molly and Lila at the end was good, like all mums ( and dads!), Molly just wants to protect her family, and can't understand why Lila won't tell her anything, so it stands to reason that as soon as Lila opens up a little, she breaks through the barriers put up by Molly. Another well written chapter thank you.

I appreciate that, I do struggle to find her voice, sometimes.

Were you bothered at all by how calculated it was on Lila's part? Or do you think it was equally genuine, if directed? |

Nice Lila/Molly dialog.
Although I've rarely complained about any of your writing, do recall not really appreciating The Kiss in the dorms oh so long ago; felt pretty flat to me.
Having said that, have to give you full kudos for the H/G interaction here...like the new depth you're bringing to it.
...and goody, another chapter to read before I stop |

I do remember that, yes. You would have preferred something that diverged more from the book.

They are my main couple for writing, and they come easier to me than Ron/Hermione do. Not entirely sure why. |

First off, I think you wrote another very good chapter. I like that you have brought Sophie back and are using her in the way you are. I enjoyed the insight into what is happening with the rest of the Weasleys and Lila.
Secondly, Don't listen to some of the nay-sayers. You are wtiting Ginny as you see her from the books. I think every fan fiction author has their own perception of the characters. You are being true to what you started with in TTM, and I am glad you are continuing that here. Even if at times I would have liked to see something a little different, I remember that this is your story and just enjoy it.
Keep up the excellant work and, as always, I look forward to the next installment.

Good, glad you liked that. Lila has been off-page for quite awhile, separated as she is.

The 'true to what I started in TTM' is, to me, the important part. And don't hesitate to tell me what you would have liked to see, I always find that interesting.
Keep up the excellant work and, as always, I look forward to the next installment.
As much as I look forward to the next review? Thank you. |

| I know you asked not to review your author notes, but I just have to! I have no problem with your depiction of Ginny so far. I certainly don't see any need to "Mary Sue" her to somehow make her more interesting. Likewise I never cared for the popular fanon concept of "healer Ginny ". I think this idea originated during the early years of the series when little was known of her personality. Certainly in the later books when we actually get to know more about her there's nothing to indicate she would be especially suited to that career. I'm any case, I enjoyed the confrontation with Molly at the end of the chapter. It seemed very in character without drifting into the extreme /irrational behavior used by some authors. Looking forward to the next update. |

And that's really my biggest concern. 'Maxing her stats', like I said. The problem though is that we get so little of Ginny from the books that what's interesting about her is only hinted at.

And it's a big deal, Healer Ginny. I've read so many stories where that's her chosen career. Quidditch suits her better, I think.

It's amazing how often Molly gets character-assassinated, isn't it? There's a hundred million fanfics out there with her screaming at everybody for no reason. Like Dumbledore, I think she tends to get used as an obstructionist authority figure by a lot of authors. |
