| this was really cute. i always thought that the minister would try to make harry look bad, and this is most like what i hought it would be like. good job.emilygail0323@aol.com |

| Yeah, it seems that no Minister, prior to Kingsley, was worth very much. Scrimgeour always struck me as a very vengeful person, though I was glad to see that he redeemed himself a bit before he died in DH. Thanks for reading! |

| what happen to the black money? other-wise, nice touch making harry poor |
| Monday 10th December 2007 10:37 | Phoenix (Author Response) |
| Well, there was a lot of Black money, but I think that Harry could have spent it all if he really needed to. Now that we've read DH, can't you think of lots of ways to spend a lot of money on that voyage? Better tent, better gear, lots of groceries, occasional bribes, expensive magical supplies (more invisibility cloaks, etc) . . . I think it could add up very quickly. Harry might also have given some of the money/property to Remus. Thanks for reading! |

| this was a great story, Harry bankrupt, another reason for him not to feel good enough for Ginny. Ginny building back up his confidence in him self befor saying yes to marry him. Just loved it. Thanks for the story |

| I'm glad you liked the theme. . . this remains one of my favorite writings for that reason. Thanks! |

| verry cute, but you could've mentioned that ginny and fleur were friends becasue i thought fleur might b planning something 2 get harry and gwen together, lol. but that's just my oppinion. |

| Gabrielle, you mean? That's a bit sketchy, in my opinion . . . she's 6 years younger than Harry, and when he's 17, that makes for a very unpleasant gap. Anyway, yes, I do think that Ginny and Fleur found their peace during Harry's absence. No woman who could capture Bill's heart could be all bad, right? Thanks for reading! |

| Wonderful! Simply wonderful! I loved the angst that led up to the fluffy happiness. This is so true to character that it's simply astounding. Amazingly well done! |

| Thanks very much! That's high praise, indeed. |

| I like your story, and I like the part you let Ginny play. Still, I can't help feeling that you made the two very mature. It's not impossible, of course, they've seen a few things after all, and maybe it's just me, but it feels just slightly too much. I'd wish them a little levity and less commitment. |
| Thursday 1st February 2007 20:18 | Phoenix (Author Response) |
| That's certainly a valid and interesting take on things. I think that, at the end of HBP, they were quite a bit more mature than their ages would indicate. And I think that during the Horcrux hunt, they matured even more as individuals, to reach the point where they are now. Thanks for reading and thinking! |

Nice story. I love seeing Ginny manipulate Harry when he needs it. The twins did a nice job too. I have to admit that I was a bit sad when I got to the end and it was over. Oh well, the rest lies deep in my imagination, I suppose, and it can go wherever I let it take me now. I wouldn't be offended if you ever wanted to write a sequel!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story with us! |

Interesting, isn't it? If the outcome is bad, it's "manipulation". If it's good, then they call it "encouragement".
I have had a few vague thoughts of a sequel, perhaps an "eighth year" fic so-to-speak, but it won't happen until MoO is finished. So that means, err . . . well, how long do you plan to live? |

Well, I think you have nailed canon Ginny pretty well. She reads Harry like an open book and gives Harry a tangible reason to survive Tommy Boy. Your plot device of Ginny's questions to Harry is outstanding. Making him face his depression, then showing him it is all him, that he really hasn't changed from before the Final Battle (TM).
To quote my favorite line from Melindaleo's 'Seventh Horcrux' "That's me, Ginny Weasley; hero rescuer." |

| Heh, that works pretty well, doesn't it? |

| Very cute story - I enjoyed it very much. : ) I like the fact that you don't have a "happy ending" post-battle... that Harry is ostracized and penniless, basically depressed. Too many of those around. Also enjoyed the "resolution" as a married team of curse-breakers - different take there. I'll need to check out "Curse Breakers" at some point in the future... sounds kind of interesting. |
| Thursday 1st February 2007 20:14 | Phoenix (Author Response) |
I enjoy Curse Breakers quite a lot, and I recommend it to everyone.
Thanks for the kind words. It's become something of a mantra for me, but I'll say it again. Even the best things are not all sunshine and lollipops. |

Interesting. But it sounds like Ginny has conditions for her love (or at least her willingness to marry).
|
| Thursday 1st February 2007 20:13 | Phoenix (Author Response) |
| Of course she does. Her condition is that Harry recognize his own value, instead of only her value to him. It'd be awfully creepy otherwise. |
