Shucks, ma'am.

Ginny is one of the few characters whose canon personality I openly dislike far more than her fanon one -- but she was handled tolerably well (in other words, as good as it gets!) here, and she did shine as a "an average witch with a handful of N.E.W.T.s and no discerning strengths to speak of", and she shined as another witness to Sirius' golden moments.

His presence throughout the fic was almost tangible, even though of course he was only either a memory of the object of one's desires. Egad. *loved this, for some unknown reason*

...and I swear I don't fancy this pairing in the slightest. Oh well.

[crazysexy_cool]

Heh, I despise her in canon as well, but she's awfully easy to write about, and I'm glad you like it! I wasn't really sure about it because I don't like Ginny/Sirius either, but it came out that way and what can you do.

That was so beautiful, I adored it. The tone was just enchanting, almost magical.

[crazysexy_cool]

Aww, thank you! I thought it was kind of pointless, to be honest. :)

I rather liked that, but unlike many others I happen to like Ginny. I too see her as a witch with only a handful of N.E.W.T.s. I agree with senav_gold, the tone was enchanting and magical. It was as if my eyes were drawn through a sea of words. An undertow pulling you deeper into the emotions and loss that Ginny was feeling. It was almost like a fairy tale gone wrong.

However, if leaves one to question why Sirius wouldn't talk to her, what actually brought him to open up just a little for a short period of time and bestow this bit of well-kept knowledge to Ginny.

*Blushes* Thank you so much!

Heh, yeah, I couldn't think of anything that wouldn't make Sirius a pedophile, so I think that if this situation actually happened, it would be - like it says in the fic - because she's willing to listen and doesn't judge him for his past actions.

[celtic_rain]

The question I would raise then would be, what past actions she wouldn't be judging. I mean, I understand it's hard to change one's mind after they assume that someone has killed 13 muggles and betrayed Lily and James, but I would assume that Ginny knows of his innocence and thus has nothing to judge for past actions. Course, purely my own thoughts. I still love the way this is written.

Hmm. I've always seen the other characters harbouring some resentment against Sirius, i.e., Molly obviously in OotP, and I do think that others remember and dislike his past arrogance and recklessness and blame him (just a little) for Lily and James' deaths. But then again, I see Sirius in a sort of tragic, 'Nobody understands me' kind of way. I like to think that Sirius would have liked the that Ginny isn't the type to patronize or provoke him, and also that she doesn't mind being around him (I see the others in Grimmauld Place as avoiding Sirius most of the time).

I like Ginny as well. Love her character.

And Sirius/Ginny has been intriguing me lately, so this definitely appeals to me.

I love the tone you've used. It's haunting and somehow hollow in a way.

These lines especially spoke to me:

But it is impossible to resist the gravity of the stars.

Sirius cannot hold out forever. Ginny is willing to listen, and that is enough.

To Sirius, who says in death what he could not in life: I’m sorry.

This is really gorgeous. Angsty and perfect and I absolutely love how your Ginny grows up. Must now re-read.

I like Ginny as well. Love her character.

I like Ginny in fanon very much, but not so much in canon, and yeah, she had some pretty cool moments in OotP when it comes down to it.

Thank you so much! I really wasn't sure about this ficlet, so it's really nice to know that you liked it.

...

If JK had written Ginny like this (even anything remotely close to this), you wouldn't have had to apologise to me in your notes at all. :D

I loved it. I wish more fan fic was like this.

P.S. I really liked the descriptions of the different places, especially Greece. Makes me feel like I'm really there, as cliched as that sounds.

[guza]

P.P.S. I know you were only joking about the apology. XD It didn't sound like it in my comment. It sounded like I was almost expecting an apology from you for writing a Ginny centric fic. XD

Thank you; I had my sister read it and she said, 'This is even worse than those bodice-rippers you used to read.' So it's wonderful to know you like it :).

Ha, no, I knew you were joking, it's cool. I was actually a little afraid for your health when I posted this - what if Ginny fanfic burned your eyes out? Rendered you speechless? But luckily, you survived :D.
