Great story, I loved it! You write an awesome Ron :D
And the ending is just perfect! *adds to memories*

Thanks so much! Ron was tons of fun to write. And I figured he wouldn't let his matchmaking talents go to waste, so I imagined he'd go after George next. :)

I've been sitting here watching Harry and Ginny take it in turns to watch each other

This is canon!

I just look at him. I mean, what else could I do? Other than tell him, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." Which I do. Because it is.

*squishes this line very tight*

He raises his eyebrow at me and gives me one of his 'I'm an Auror; what the bloody hell do you think you're doing' looks when I get there, but I just shrug and lead him in.

Oh, Ron!

"I wanted to be able to watch her without you watching me watch her."

Oh, Harry!

Thank you SO much for this - a Harry/Ginny that is 80% Ron is my favourite thing!!

Hee!! When I beta'ed this, I just *knew* whose name she'd been given!! LOL!! I'm glad you finally got to read it, too! :-) I'm so glad Ron "took over" for *both* of your sakes!! :-D

Hee! I'm SO glad you like it! I figured I couldn't go wrong with Ron when it came to you. It's a good thing, too, because he was very forceful and opinionated when I was writing (is he always like that?). :D But you gave a great prompt, and it was so much fun telling the story from his POV. I've never written anything from Ron's POV before, but I'll definitely have to do it again!

Ah, who loves Harry and Ginny more!!!

Many thank yous - and do him again, yes!

Thanks! Ron didn't give me much of an option, really--it was tell it from his point of view or find another story to tell (he was very pushy!).

:D Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I had so much fun writing this, and I'm glad it's being well-received.

I always thought he was the sap in the relationship and he should be the one chasing Ginny this time around

I'm pretty fond of sappy Harry myself, actually. In my head, Ginny grew more confident and self-assured over their time apart (she learned she could live without him, even if she didn't necessarily want to), and she also learned she didn't want to settle--she wanted to be sure Harry was serious and wanted it. So that's why she came across like that here.

Thanks again!

P.S. You absolutely must write something about Ron. I would read it in a second! *nods*
