I've been soo busy, I guess I missed your update...glad I found it, the story is getting better. Love the "first" meetings...so to speak.
anyway, it seems a little strange that ginny remember quiditch and not her name/family
Can't wait for more |

Thanks Iris! I know, it's easy to miss an update, since there are so many each day. I'm glad you liked the first meeting. I thought that it would be interesting for Ginny to see Harry, without knowing his past, or hers.
As for Ginny remembering Quidditch. It's all about the curse that Draco cast, it was meant to be that way. He changed the regular Obliviate into something different.
Thanks again for the review!

Aww! I've got a frog in my throat now! The insights in both Harry's and Ginny's characters in this piece are just brilliant. That despite the Obliviation, Ginny is still the same girl, still drawn to Harry for the person he is.
And I could see Harry introducing himself to her as though for the first time when he must be boiling with frustration at what she has lost. I'm curious to see how he will cope with that. He's still protective of her though (wanting her to hear stuff from her family first)
I'm liking this. 's math sin! |

Thanks BaF!
I'm always worried about my characterizations, so I'm glad that they're
fitting here. I think that Harry, as he grows, would have to learn
restraint. He's full of emotions and, after OotP, would have to
learn to control them, just as in this chapter.
That, and I think he's a sweetheart

| V. sweet and beautiful in an understated way. There are obviously still feelings on both sides, but you didn't pound that fact into our heads. The gentleness that Harry shows with her, the restraint that none of the family realised was necessary, is very striking. Great job! |

Thanks!
I feel that Harry, being that he's not family (technically) would be able to step back from the situation and react differently.
As for the feelings, I'm glad that you feel like it wasn't
pounded. I didn't want it to be too mushy and whatnot, so I'm
glad it didn't come across that way.

Hun, I love this!
"So," she said at last, her voice weary. "It wasn't all a dream then."
He looked confused for a moment. After clearing his throat quietly, he
glanced away from her. "No. It's all very real."
I wanted to tell you, because I can't remember if I already did, but I
love this: "No. It's all very real." I was reading this chapter over
again, and that bit just really flew out at me as being a very touching
moment. I could really see Harry saying this and living that moment.
I can't wait for the next chapter!

Thanks Tari
Everytime I get a chapter back from you, I feel so much better about
it. I appreciate all the help and encouragement.

Everytime I encoutner this story, I'm hesitant. Yet everytime I give it a go, I'm never dissapointed! You have this classic plot yet such innventive ways to get there. And I, being a romatnic sap, love that even when Ginny doesn't have a hero-worship behind her, she can still read Harry. No matter what, they just...fit. I very much anticipate further developments of relationships, romantic and platonic! my socks, Cera!

Wow, thanks Delani. I can understand how you feel. When I'm about to
read a new chapter of a story that I like, I'm always nervous that I
won't be as happy with it as the rest of the story, and I don't want to
ruin the impression that I have.
I'm so glad that this one is up to par so far. I'm a romantic sap too, living vicariously through my stories. I hope to be able to twine that good stuff with some reliable tension and hardship. We'll see how it goes.

Good start. I've read some Ginny forgetting the past stories. So far this seems different, so that's a good thing :)
Looking forward to the next chapter.

| Thanks potterfan. I haven't read any myself, which is why I
wanted to try this one. I'm glad that it's met your approval so
far.

Awww Such a dramatic beginning Dirl! And the characterisations in this chapter are perfect. I love how Ginny is pulled to Harry even when she has no idea who he is, and how gentle and polite Harry was. It's all so perfect. I especially love this:
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"You're stalling."
He grimaced. "I was hoping you'd just forget for now."
"Fat chance."
Snappy dialogue is definitely something you do really well, and Harry grimacing was completely swoon-worthy.
Can't wait for more!!

Thanks Fude. I like the quick dialogue to, both to read and to
write. It saves having to come up with descriptions.
Thanks for all your pre-betaing help!

Gulp.
My eyes were tingling there, that was brilliantly well written again. You manage to put tremendous power into just a few lines. I love the way Ginny feels about Harry here - she can consider him dispassionately and yet he intrigues her. And she still knows that he's lying when he says he's fine. |

| Thanks Antonia! I was trying to imagine what it would be like to
see Harry for the first time, without all of the background
information. I'm glad that I got it across decently.
