It's the first HP fic I'm reading since a long time, too, and it very much rekindled my love for the characters and the story.

I think I'm in love with your characterisation. Ron and Hermione's deep, steady, bickery love is greatly done, Luna is spot on, Neville is quietly wonderful. And Harry might be a hero, but he's also the somewhat weak one. I think I love him more when his nobility and heroism are questioned than when they're taken for granted!

I love that you addressed their youth, the ambiguity of love and lust, especially during a first serious relationshp. I love that Ginny knows herself - and Harry! - better than Harry knows himself.

Thanks for sharing this!

*g* Writing it kind of rekindled my love for the characters too! I can't believe it's been almost half a year since my last HP fic.

I'm so glad that you liked this story, sweetie. Thank you!!

This was just wonderful. I love your characterizations of Ron/Hermione, Neville and Luna - and of course the interaction between Harry and Ginny was spot-on. Great job!

She brought me stars, he thought dimly. In the middle of London, she brought stars to me. That means something important, I think.

I absolutely love this line. So sweet and bumbling, and so Harry. :)

Thank you so much! :)

One of the things I really love about Harry and Ginny (and Harry/Ginny) is that they're part of this fantasy epic, but in many ways they're such normal teenagers.

I enjoyed this so much. The beginning was just delightful:

"Not," Neville said, "if the plant kills him first." - *giggle*

And I really like Ginny here - direct and genuine, without whinging.

"I don't feel obligated," said Ginny. "I feel horny."

Wonderful job!

Thank you so much! *g* It was hard keeping Neville and Luna from taking over this fic.
