Another good chapter (I would review more of them but I'm enjoying it too much!)
Just one thing; IMHO the / scene ended a little too chaste and awkward considering that they're both (nearly) adults (according to wizarding law) and have just survived the greatest evil in history... Especially when prim and proper Hermione is sharing a room, unsupervised with Ron and is telling Harry "What Ron and I do is none of your business", just seems a little out of character in comparison? |

| Well, to be fair, Hermione is comfortable saying that because nothing is happening there, either. I tend to see the wizarding world as more chase than it's Muggle counterpart. I know there is debate on this issue, but that's how I see it. Ginny is a bold witch, and she certainly knows her own mind, but why can't that mean she knows she's not ready, as well? I think she's felt very out of control during the war, and my feeling is that she'd very much want to grasp at what she can control. Both are passionate, impetuous people, and their hormones will definitely run away at some point, but, in my opinion, I don't think Ginny's ready yet. That's how I see it anyway. |

Thanks for another great chapter. I led this one off with "Would You Go With Me" by Josh Turner, a song which I've always associated with Harry and Ginny, and it really put me in the right mood for this.
I think my favorite on-going part of this story is Harry unburdening to Ginny. The good that it's doing for him and the bonding that's happening with her is so rich and so deep, it just feels right. They've had precious little time together and I love that the unfolding of the last year is being done slowly. Ginny is really handling Harry in just the right way, and as only she could. Harry doesn't fully comprehend it yet but their love will grow so much because of the mutual trust necessary to share the worries, pain, fear, and even regrets he's experienced. His whole life has been a sad story and while we know that he'll be whole and complete again, he can't yet begin to see it from the place he's in.
George continues to make me sad. Not just because of his immediate state and feelings but because I know that no matter where you take him he'll never be quite whole again, never.
And finally, ain't Sherry great! |

Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I agree with you on George. He'll be okay, but never really Forge again, you know?
And yes, Sherry is the bomb! |

Omg omg omg omg omg
You're posting HP fanfiction again! I think I died and went to heaven.
I'm loving this, have read the story so far in one go, but as usual I'm now dying to read what happens next.
Oh how I miss Harry and Ginny. This is a great post war take.
More please! |

| It was fun to see Harry teasing his friends, some of his humor peeking through. I'm not sure I've mentioned this yet, but i love Ron's protective attitude toward Harry. He doesn't smother him with it, but his attitude and thoughts show it all the time. i like it because all through the books we didn't see as much of that, except in extreme momentzs, like the Shrieking Shack in POA, and it was always Hermione being often overly protective. Now we have Ron fiercely looking out for Harry. I can't explain why it's so special to me, but it is. |

| I tend to see Ron as protective in general. He always stood up for Hermione, and has definitely been overprotective of Ginny. I think seeing Harry's "body" would've shook him to the core. I'm glad you like it! I'm tired of seeing Ron being written so negatively. |

Another wonderful chapter. It made me feel good for two reasons. The first is George's willingness to get out of The Burrow and even though you hinted that he might be a morose drunk, this is still a step in the right direction. I think Percy would probably be the brother who watches out for him after Bill leaves. While Charlie is still the oldest, he doesn't strike me as one to call it quits when the personal limits of his companions have been reached. It made me smile, too, when the Weasley brothers included Harry in their brotherly night out and while it didn't quite turn out the way he wanted it to, that warm feeling Harry encountered made me smile.
The second is your Ginny. While she fumes about being left behind yet again, I think she does understand her brothers' need for some male bonding. It was nice of her to keep Hermione company the night before her trip to Australia because that also meant that she was at home when Harry needed her. Their passion once they were alone brought back memories from 'way back when' and while frustrating for both Ginny and Harry, her level-headedness prevented them from doing something they both would regret later on. Going slowly is a very good thing!
As for Ron and Hermione, I'm looking forward to getting a glimpse or two of their trip to Australia. I think their time together will do wonders for their relationship, even if the retrieval of Hermione's parents goes awry as they are wont to do sometimes.
Thanks for another great chapter! |

Thanks, Arnel! I really, really appreciate your wonderfully detailed reviews. I tend to see Charlie as having a bit of the twins in him. He works with dragons, he can't be all that serious!
As for h/g - I think the mom in me is struggling with the storyteller a little bit. Ginny is still only sixteen years old, and sex is scary when its an unknown no matter how bold she is! I think they need to get to know each other all over again, so they (and I) are taking it slow.
You will get to see Australia. Originally it wasn't planned, but it's in there now. |
