Title: The Golden Horn 1/?
Rating: R
Summary: The war is finally over and Harry is ready to get on with his life. Most importantly, he wants to pick up where he left off with Ginny. First, though, he'll have to come to terms with the fact that Ginny didn't put her life on hold and wait for him to come back to her.

DISCLAIMER: J.K. Rowling owns ( Read more... )

You just love to torment my Harry with your Viktor, heh?

Great ideas, great story... and I was complaining to myself that there weren't any good WIPs to read. I'll just reread this first part while waiting for your next installment.

*bats eyelashes* Moi? Torment Harry? Never! :-P

I'll do my best to get the next part written before we leave on vacation. Hopefully it holds up to your expectations!

Oh, wow, I'm so excited to see new H/G from you! I really liked the start of this, and I can't wait to see how you bring Harry and Ginny together when she and Victor seem to be in a good place at the moment. Poor Harry. I have a feeling this journey will be a hard one for him.

Great start, I can't wait to see where you take it next!

ps - I spotted one typo, if you're interested. In this sentence: Harry as a refuge and a save haven from the fear and frustration that had dogged him , "save" should be "safe". Otherwise, I didn't notice anything else. Great job!

I spotted one typo, if you're interested.
No matter how carefully I look something over, I always miss something really obvious. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm glad you liked the start! Hopefully I let this ferment long enough than I can keep it going without losing my enthusiasm for it -- and, perhaps more importantly, finish it before Rowling tosses everything out the nearest window. :-)

I don't think she ever actually said she'd bring Harry and Ginny together, did she? I mean, if I were to bet, that's what I'd pick, too, and that's what I'd root for, but I don't see it as a sure conclusion to this start.

Boooooooo! Don't be such a downer! Of course she's going to get Harry and Ginny together eventually! It's Magnolia_Mama for goodness' sake!

;P

I really like this. It's rich and descriptive, and well written, as always. I do so love that Ginny has cut her hair off. I'm interested to see Ron's 'understanding' with Viktor in light of him being with Ginny, and of course it's always fun to see Harry lose his mind over her.

All in all, a really great start.

it's always fun to see Harry lose his mind over her.
Y'know, I think you've perfectly encapsulated why I love writing this pairing so much. Sure, Ron and Hermione have their repressed desire disguised as bickering, but there's something about the way Harry, as you say, loses his mind over Ginny, that brings me back time after time.

I'm glad you liked this, and really appreciate the review. I'm hoping to get the next part, which will delve into Ginny's haircut and that kiss, posted in the next day or so.

oooo... I can't wait to see what happens next!

magnolia_mama June 11 2007, 02:16:56 UTC

Thank you. If all goes well, the next part should be posted in a day or two.

Oh wow, this is a wonderful idea! When I read the summary, I was a bit wary, not knowing where you'd go with it. But now you have me really, really intrigued by this situation, and this triangle. Eee!

And I quite like raw!you. :D I love the idea of using pissing as a metaphor for Harry releasing his burden. That, and I just really like the image of a scruffy, just-woke-up Harry. ♥

Anyway, yes! I'd love to see you continue with this storyline. *bounce*

magstopia June 11 2007, 03:42:23 UTC

*squees* I'm so glad you took a chance on this! My initial reaction when the idea for a H/G/V triangle first came to me was, "What the hell are you smoking?" But, alas, it wouldn't leave me alone.

BTW, by "raw" I meant it hadn't been looked at by a beta. I didn't even tell katieay I'd actually started writing it, and she usually reads everything I write before I post it anywhere.

reallycorking June 18 2007, 03:18:32 UTC

*facepalm* Of course, I knew that! :P
