Again, a very touching story. You portray Ginny admirably, stuck alone with her mother, having nothing to do but work. No wonder she starts drinking, even if it's just a bit.
And thanks for the wonderful ending. So sweet. |

Well, I just realized how stupid I was as soon as I reviewed. Horcruxes! How could I forget? Wow! That makes it even more...well, you get the idea. Sorry for being such an idiot.

Oh my gosh. That was so sad. And happy. And depressing. And....lots of things. I don't know how you mixed so many emotions into one story. Wow. This is truly amazing. I don't really understand the number thing, though. Are those the number of times Harry has visited? Or how many years Ginny's been waiting to be able to escape? I'd hate being stuck in a house for so long. The mere thought of it makes me want to run outside for three hours to let loos some energy.
This is an amazing story. It is sad, but has just the right amount of happiness too. Great job, you're a terrific author!

Wow, that was amazing. When the meaning of the numbers became clear to me I got shivers. It's such a touching tale, especially how it seems that the very first thing he does after achieving #7 is to come back to Ginny to tell her. But this line in particular gave me the shivers:
Ginny didn’t bother to ask what would happen if any or all of them were killed.
Just one of the many lines that enriched this story. Great job, thanks for sharing it. |

This was very well written. I liked the little touches of Hogwarts moving to a secure location, and Number 12 Grimmauld Place moving where it was needed. That part was such an antithesis to what the house had stood for while the Blacks called it home.
The numbered parchments were a really cool idea.
I hope to read more of your work!

| This was wonderful!! I had no idea what you were on about, with the numbers, but at the end, it just clicked: Horcruxes!! This was really, well-written and spell-binding. Excellent work! |

Oh, man.
This was great.
This was so cool.
I loved the numbers. I didn't catch it until the end - a great idea, you know. That was very well done. Most stories need dialogue. But this one gets along fine without it -- the emotion is right off the cuff - in your face, and tangible.
Good work. I look forward to reading more of your work! |

| Good story. I really liked the way you describe how Ginny views herself. Also I thought the numbered papers were an ecxellent idea. |

| I love your image of care-worn Ginny and the fact that she's given herself the moniker "Keeper of the Hearth." It wasn't very nice of Molly and Hermione to trick Ginny, but, as I see it, since she's also the keeper of hope for Harry she definitely needed to be kept safe herself. In the meantime, she's really doing the Wizarding world a service keeping a safe place open for those who need one. Your ending made me smile; I sincerely hope that Book 7 will have a similar result as your story. Bravo to you on a well-written story. I'll be coming back to this one often. |

| Poor Ginny! But I loved the numbers. Especially, of course, the number 7, telling us it's all over (or about to be). |

| That was great. The depth of Ginny's emotions was something you don't find in a lot of fics..

Well, it took me about eight hours from my first read before I figured out what the numbers meant. Sleep deprivation ...
Anyway, congrats on an honest and evocative work.

I'm so happy that you've uploaded this here! It really is such an eerie, evocative piece, so different from the huge bulk of post-HBP H/G fic.
Just hope that Remus, Bill and Hermione are all there to remove the charm... |

Heh -- now *that* is a view of the future I hadn't encountered -- and
Hogwarts going into hiding, and OotP HQ wandering about the countryside
are each fairly surreal notions.... :-)
But let's see -- #7 would be old Snake-Face himself, yes?
For the sake of historians, it might have been a nice touch to
date/time-stamp each bit of parchment. :-} [I guess you're
not suprised that I tinker with computers a bit.... :-)]

That was great. I really loved the emotion. It took me a bit to work out what the numbers were!

You made Ginny's feelings so very tangible in this piece, and I can see her being very angry at having been confined to the house like that, and having to shut herself down in order to bear it. I liked the idea of the house moving to where it was needed. That's very clever.
Ach - I've only just worked out what the numbers meant! Brain's pretty slow this evening. That's a brilliant touch, and I love that he delivered the last one personally. Really great story. |
