Great story! Do you happen to know where I could find the Matador? It might come in handy....

I just LOVE this story!  It is so sweet!

Great job, Melinda!

That was awsome, I think you should really write a sequel.  I loved how you put the characters.  And how Harry suggested to go on the ride again was excellent

Great job, keep writing, and PLez write back

This was wonderful! I'm dying to go to a carnival now- I haven't been in about five years.  You wrote this wonderfully, and it certianly was a unique plot!  Most people can't pull it off too well when Harry and Ginny get together quickly, but carnivals have a knack for doing things like that and you sure took advantage of it.  I noticed you said no sequel "yet" at the beginning- does that mean that there could be one later?  I'd love to hear about the rest of the weekend with the Grangers, and also about Harry's shopping trip with Tonks.  You could really turn this into a great summer fic!  I'll keep my eye out for more of your work,

i love this!  i definately think you should try a sequel or expanding on it! 

Great story!

I loved the cotton candy scene!

I'm glad you didn't have any of them kiss, it leaves expectations for more though. But if they did it would have felt so rushed.

I can't wait to read your other stories. This is my first of yours to read so I could see your writing stylr and I think I'll happily read the others. Your writing is nicely detailed and I like it. 

Very cute!!

Wow...I thought I'd read all of the carnival challenge fics, and nearly didn't read this.  I haven't read the others for a long while, but I suspect this would be among my favorites.  :) 

I especially love the understated understanding that arises between Harry and Ginny.  Ginny's attempts to resist sliding into Harry...boy that takes me back.  I had to squeeze next to a boy I liked at the Haunted Mansion and just *knew* everyone would see how red my cheeks were once we got outside.  Thank goodness for Ginny that Harry didn't mind. 

This was great! The idea of going to the funfair struck me as so un-Hermioneish (the Hermione they know from school anyway) that it had the ring of thruth, if you follow me. I think Hermione would show different facets of her character at home than those she shows at school. Ron fiddling with the car made me think of his dad and the way Hermione told him off made me think of Molly... nice bit of foreshadowing there!

As for the candyfloss... I would have felt just like Ginny-anything so that Harry could have the treat so long denied him. Loved the bit on the rides... the not wanting to be squashed up against him thing, only for Ginny to discover that Harry is far more perceptive than most people give him credit for!!

A lovely interlude while we wait for your sequal.

If you ever feel the need for a Brit-picker, I'd be honoured...

I finally get to review you!  I enjoyed this on a bleak November Day.  I really like your title and the hook you used to get them together.  Attraction is a force - and it certainly was there!

The R/Hr was cute too!  Although I root for H/G first!

I read the winning entries for this challenge and (no disrespect to the authors) this was by far the best and should have won, hands down.  I caught all the bonus phases, and think you encorporated them brilliantly.  They seemed very natural and not out of place at all.  Everyone was totally, 100% in character, and the plot was sweet and endearing.  Once again, you turn out a quality piece of work that shows your talent as one of the best HP fanfiction writers on the net.  I'm glad this didn't go in the trash bin.  It deserves to be read.

It's 'as if on cue', not queue.

Other than that I lurved it!  Cool story!

Thanks,  a great story.  And I am not just biased as Melinda is my name too!

Harry smirked. “What about you? What’s your role?”

Ginny was going to make some joke, but when she caught the hidden hurt within the green orbs staring at her so intently, she whispered, “I’m there for when you need someone to listen.”

So darling! Love it!
