Ah, why didn't Harry wear the swim suit . That carnival bit was brilliant . Took Malfoy down a notch or two with that bet. I can hear his father now, 'You lost money to a Weasley. You are unworthy of the Malfoy name!.' But why did Ginny have to go accept someone else. Now Harry is definitely going to think she doesn't fancy him . I told you so, now he's going with Parvati .

| I think Ginny was wrong to blow up in Harry's face. But, I hope that everything will turn out all right. |

The wizard carnival was AMAZING, such cool stuff.
But I'm going to kill you. RON has figured it out...why can't HARRY stop being so thick??????????????????????????? |

| I'm really tempted to stop reading here, because it's too terrible that they can't do someting decisive. Ginny decides that Harry has to make the first step, but is always angry that he takes it at his own pace, while Harry is so perceptive about Parvati's intention, sees right through Ron and Hermione, but cannot make up his mind about himself. Maybe it's more realistic than I can admit, but you'll be hard pressed to make them come round in a believable way. |

Let's see. so much to say.
First, Love the carnival. Hope to see maybe a oneshot of that. I have read Miss Hogwarts, good in its own right, yours had a more wheedling tone that worked well :) Gotta love Harry's weakness for orphans.
As for the "You'll never die if you leave reviews." thing - I'm close to 300 reviews now. Think I'll hit 80? Here's to hoping. |

Well, my first review kind of got cut off , and I hate it when that happens so anyways, just wanted to post the rest of it:
Whew...no idea why I ranted there...it was a total tangent, but I guess I thought of that while reading your story. This doesn't really make me angry, it's just something I thought of. I guess I kind of feel bad for the poor guys, although they are still totally clueless. |

Alright,
First praise needs to be given at another beautifully written chapter.
Two things:
1) First,let's me get this out of the way. The idea of a carnival was creative. But I felt it a little off canon. It doesn't mean it was bad, just a little unrealistic...of course this is fan fiction so it doesn't really matter. And I still loved it. But then you put in a ball...and although I absolutely where you are going with this, I felt that with the carnival, it was a bit much. Of course I think the ball is very important to the plot, and hopefully indicates Harry and Ginny will get together soon, so I guess what I am saying it could have done without the carnival. Yet again, the carnival was fun. So now I have confused myself a bit. I guess I'm saying although it was unrealistic, it was still very good.
2) Second, aaah!!! You're torturing me with the H/G teasing. I say this with utmost respect: HURRY IT UP!!! Although, I know when you do get around to it it'll be absolutely wonderful!! But I do want to comment on the whole asking Ginny to the ball thing. I thought it was wonderful the way you portrayed that! Absolutely perfect. I feel sorry for both of them but also angry at Harry for not hurrying it up. Of course, it makes them getting together all the more juicier, eh?:
On a side note, I do want to say one thing that has nothing to do with your story really.It's just that people get angry with Harry, myself included, for not noticing Ginny or asking her out or to a ball, etc...in many fanfic stories. Although usually these plots are great, I don't think all the blame can be laid on Harry. For one he is a guy, so that automatically makes him clueless. But even more so, is the fact that in most stories that go this route, Ginny and Harry have finally become friends, and Ginny gives very little or no hints that she still likes him. So how would Harry know this? He knows his own feelings, but doesn't want to ruin a potentially great friendship. So Ginny is partially to blame. And Hermione for that matter. True, Ron is VERY clueless. In the books, he doesn't ask Hermione, and she get a little angry with this and his jealousy. Well, Ron, somewhere deep down, knows he like Hermione. But she hasn't given any huge clues, and in Ron's pov, who would want to ruin a friendship as great as theirs.
Whew...no idea why I ranted there...it was a total tangent, but I guess I thought of that while reading your story. This doesn't really make me angry, it's just something I thought of. I guess I kind of feel bad for the poor guys, although they are still totally clueless. |

Wow! Thank you for the nice, long review! I might have to name a character after you.
As far as the carnival goes, it was more fun than plot-driven, but then, JKR does a lot of things too that are more fun than plot driven, heh. But it actually did have a plot purpose, believe it or not. By Ginny winning the bet with Draco, she has money to buy very nice dress robes and thus torture Harry that much more. |

| Oooh...as they say on "I Love the 90's" : BUZZKILL!!! I feel so sorry for Harry, but so ANGRY for Ginny. Boys are so stupid. I can totally relate to this one. ::sighs:: You are brilliant. I love coming here and seeing that you updated. Thanks! |

| Another good chapter. One step forward, four steps back. The memories of puberty. It just puts a pained look on my face. |
