I really enjoyed reading this. What a sweet, realistic way for Harry and Ginny to get
together. First, I like your take on
Ginny. Looks like she’s having a great
start to her day. I know I love to get
full, undisturbed sleep, a quiet, empty house, breakfast waiting for me, a long
relaxing shower, and a compliment. (Who cares if it’s just a mirror?
Grin.)
Harry’s not the only person to suffer at the hands of
Voldemort, and I can imagine her having nightmares. Ginny could understand what he’s going through.
Great way to set up the scene between the two- Harry is
always at his best while flying, and Ginny has proven herself as an equal. I was surprised with how Ginny got him in
the air; my response would have been to offer him my broom and go from there. But really, Harry needed to confront the
memories of that specific broom, instead of my rather Hermione instinct to
mother. (grin.)
I found your take on Harry’s quidditch charming. It’s hard not to laugh with a boy who’s
teasing you- especially when he’s normally so sad.
But the best came when they landed. This scene gave me that happy little
moment. I can just imagine Ginny’s
feeling of shivery anticipation. Love
the image of Harry tipping her face towards him, coming closer, drifting that
kiss against her. Lovely. A simple beat of time, where they both are
open to each other. Of course, what
your Harry does after was dead on canon as far as I’m concerned. He would start
second-guessing himself. Good to know
Ginny can tease him out of it.
Favorite part of the story: ““You're incredible,” he
whispered. “You are kind and caring, and soft and warm, and you like Quidditch
–“ Soft and warm. Hee. I say the same thing about my
comforter. Such a boy compliment. Hee hee.
All in all, a wonderful humorous piece of fluff. My favorite type of Harry/Ginny story. I look forward to reading more from you. Thanks to your betas-
spelling and sentence structure were both excellent.
Best Regards,
pixie

Wow! Thank you for the wonderful review! You really put a lot of thought into it, and I greatly appreciate it.
Let me just say, that I'm glad you like the story. Fluff is my specialty -- I don't do angst very well, but I try! *laughs* I love fluffy stories with happy endings -- I'm such a sap in that respect.
You've actually paid me a very high complement by saying:
Of course, what your Harry does after was dead on canon as far as I’m concerned. He would start second-guessing himself.
I always wonder if my characterization is close to what they are in canon. One person's interpretation can be different from another. It's nice to see someone who thinks I did a good job with my characterization.
Oh, and as for Ginny giving him her broom and going from there -- that was actually a thought of mine too -- see, I have 4 little boys, so the mothering side of me comes out quite often. But when it came down to it, Harry and Ginny demanded I write it so that Harry begins to deal with his feelings about Sirius.
And I have started a "companion" piece to this, in Harry's POV, but it is currently stalled out. I am trying to finish up my chaptered fiction, The Homecoming, before doing anything else.
Thanks again for taking the time to review. It means the world to me.

Just the perfect story to read before bed! It gave me wonderful dreams of my two favorite characters...Your Ginny is a tender, caring, patient friend and Harry is very lucky to have her there for him. I also like that Harry knows what he wants...
“Yeah, that would be great,” Harry said. “And after we eat, we can go back out to the paddock and practice with the Quaffle.”
“Is that all you want to do at the paddock?” Ginny asked, looking up at him through her lashes.
“No, not really,” Harry replied, blushing as red as a Weasley. “But I wasn't certain what you'd think if I said I wanted to go to the field and snog.”
“Well, as long as we get some practice in,” Ginny began, demurely, “we can snog all you like.”
Go Ginny!
I'm looking forward to the story from Harry's POV, too.

Thanks, Arnel! I'm glad you like it. My specialty is fluff! I hope to hammer out Harry's POV soon -- his is taking a bit longer -- we have the memories of Sirius to contend with from canon, and I need to figure out which ones to add in.
Thanks for reviewing.

Wonder story. I thought it was very cute especially the last few lines.
Thanks for writing! |

Thank you for reading!
And I'm glad you enjoyed it. Fluff is my speciality, I guess you could say. I'm not nearly as good at angst. |

“Well, if you're not seeing Dean, then maybe you won't mind if I do this.”
*has to laugh* I think that, as a warning to a kiss goes, that is fantastic.
Very fluffy, and I enjoyed it immensely - sometimes just just need a *nice* story to set you straight. |

Thanks, Tim...I sort of love that line too...and after reading all the angst from the contest, I needed a bit of fluff to set me straight. Glad you liked it. |

Why, thank you!
I do have more in the works. I'm working on Harry's POV from this. |
