This was so sweet, and very realistic. I love the way Harry and Ginny are with each other; you've captured them very well. Great job!

Thank you very much!

nicely done =]

i love that harry gave ginny the failsafe book because he didn't need it. and that they "practiced" snogging techniques. and that molly was still up knitting at midnight, lol.

When they got to the chapter on snogging, they followed the instructions with mock seriousness until they both collapsed in a fit of giggles

This was much with the adorable!

"You're not listening to me, are you?"

"Well, I was listening to your voice."

"What does that mean?"

"I just like listening to the sound of your voice. When we were - away - and I would watch you on the Map, I used to imagine the sound of your voice talking to, well, whoever you were with. I missed your voice."

I really loved this part, and I think it's because, for me, this just kind of sums up the fact that Harry just loves everything about her, and also subtly points out the realization that he can take the time to treasure and enjoy simple things like listening to her voice. If that makes sense.

Very, very well done.

Thank you so much for the review! That particular passage was a relatively late addition to the story - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
