This is really cute :3. I think you have a typo (Micheal rather than Michael) in the character list and a few times in the first paragraph, but that aside, it was excellent. I like the insight into her relationships with Michael and Dean as well as her frustration with Harry and I think the notion of a Spark, particularly as it's articulated in the first paragraph, is just so sweet. I could see the fireworks in her head in the closing lines. Adorable!

Thanks! When I first wrote this, I remember being really nervous because I had never written romance, nor been in love (or any kind of relationship) myself, so I wasn't sure I could understand the feelings and do them justice.

And don't get me started on Micheal/Michael. It is the bane of my life, that name. No matter how many times I make a mental of note of "right, the a comes before the e, because it's the name of an angel and "el" means "of God" I can never get the frickin' thing right.

I definitely think you did them justice, but admittedly, I don't have personal experience to support the claim either and I'm not sure romantic fiction is an adequate qualification :3. I believed it, though, and I thought you offered a very nice look at Ginny as well.

One or two slip-ups isn't too bad! On a side note, I didn't know "el" meant of God, so thanks for that bit of trivia!

I know about the "el" thing mostly because I mostly left HP fandom for Supernatural (do not fear us! We're gentle folk) so I found myself wondering "why do so many angels have names that end in "iel" or "ael"? Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Cassiel...so I looked it up.

I really like Ginny. I think she's the kind of girl you'd really have wanted to be friends with at school.
