| I was just thinking of this story a few days ago but couldn't remember the title or who wrote it. I found it again today when I was reading all your stories. Very curious. It's also curious that I reviewed this story almost two years ago exactly. I love this story and think it is one of the best pre-HBP one shots I have ever read. There is something about the emotions that draws the readers into it. Plus the determination of Harry and Ginny at the end lingers after the story is over. Awesome job. |

| Curious, indeed. I'm glad you haven't changed your opinion about this story. It is my first published piece, and I'm still quite fond of it. |

Beautiful story! I love the background behind Harry and Ginny's growing relationship, it's very insightful and makes the story just that much better. The shyness and insecurity of the two is shown very well throughout, along with their hidden desire to grow closer. You protrayed both characters just as they would be in canon but you gave them that wonderful description and feeling which makes a true fluffy story (and which is mostly absent from canon).
A wonderful story! I recall reading it sometime in the past and must beg forgiveness for not reviewing at the time. It certainly deserves a glowing review! |

| This story was so inspiring! I loved Ginny's speech at the end where she tells her mother that she was too young to be possesed by Voldermort and never asked to be in this war, so how could they deny her what makes her happy. My heart did a little flip during that moment actually. Amazing job |

I must say, after slogging through parts of Per Asperissima Ad Astra, I was more than hesitant to read this and its prequel.
I was pleasantly surprised, the angst is still there, just a tad, but the characters felt right. Great story.

| Angst? Come on, not in this fic. - Glad you liked it, though. And as I said in answer to your other review, you ingored the title of "Per Asperissima" and missed the part you'd have liked. |

As always, one good thing leads to another. So, after reading
"Not A Good Mood", I decided I had to get some more of this fix.
And I absolutely love this. Your description of Arthur hiding his
firewhisky from Molly to have some to share with his grown-up sons was
just wonderful, and indeed a behaviour that feels canon. And all
the Harry-Ginny interaction... very well written! It's not easy
to find some privacy in a crowded house, especially when half of its
inhabitants are dead set on never giving you some time alone. It
worked out in a wonderful way.
Mrs Weasley, for once, recognised a power of will greater than her own. Yes! You show her, Harry!
Thanks! I really enjoyed myself.

| I loved their conversation,and Ginny stating that this "Love " was theirs an theirs alone .Love should be a private and precious feeling, and no-one else should be able to dictate the terms .You did this chapter so well,and I really liked it. It was a joy to read. "we,ll decide what we do,and when we do it". Good for them. |

Wow, I just read your fic, and it´s impressive, I just loved the way you just wrote about probably, the most reasonable way , between them, that they all would happen, it wouldn´t be planned and probably it´s one of the most realistic ways how your realize once you fall in love, I hope to keep reading more about your stories.

| Thank you for your enthusiastic support, but I'm afraid this story is finished. Time's running out for Post-OotP stories and there are still some more on my hard disk that need to be published. There's a new story called "Per aspera ad astra", and I hope it will be out soon. Look out for it and tell me what you think. |

I read this after reading your more recent story. This is very good indeed. It has the sincerity and actuality you showed in the "prequel" developed in a natural, and highly satisfactory, way.
By this time, we fans are (almost) as concerned for Harry and Ginny as we would be for our own real-people friends. Your stories have not only avoided the twisted ideas and downright nasty turns which some others have inflicted on Harry and on anybody and everybody else in the story-world, but also have shown a healthy wholeness coming into being in the lives which Harry and Ginny seem destined to share.
Love is willing the good of another (St. Thomas Aquinas): not just talk, but doing something about it. When Ginny takes the risk of going to get Harry, she ends by enabling Harry to care for her and so begins the process of healing for both of them. In the other review I remarked that we do not learn to love by loving; we learn to love by being loved. The only real love that Harry has experienced in his life lies far back in his infancy; and it is only the remnants of his parents' love---unconscious as Harry may be of this---that have kept his soul from complete despair. I do not think it a romantic myth that two who love one another are greater than themselves alone: I think it a reality and a special grace.
Thank you once again for your story---both parts are delightful! |

I loved this - their choice of presents, the description of the picture, and their revelations in the snow. You pack a lot of emotion into your writing and I love that. I read your other piece before this one and now I see how that was a one-shot. So, ignore my pleas for more chapters.
Excellent work! Thanks! |

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I- I mean WOWZERS!! This was just so - I LOVED this! Oh my GOD!!! I mean my heart is beating a mile a minute and I just feel like screaming like a madwoman, and hoping you don't think I'm a total freak. It's just that this AMAZING story stripped me of any normal vocabulary I might posess, and leaves me with only one thing: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I loved EVERYTHING about this! And the part where they where kissing in the snow and when they confronted their family- and the part of Mr. Weasley sneaking away some firewhiskey to share with his sons was excellent and- hell EVERYTHING was amazing! (Sorry for the excessive use of smilies- they are to emphasize my point, and hey, they're cute!!!!!) Well, I'll shut up now before I write an entire novel of nonsense, and BEG you to write more! YOU ARE AMAZING! ACE!

Wow!
I loved Harry and Ginny standing up for themselves and their
relationship to the whole family at one time. I loved them stating all
the reasons that they are young but, because of experience, not too
young to be in love. That was very mature and showed their strong
wills. It was great.

| How sweet! You did a nice job with the dramatic tension - stuck inside the Burrow with all the Weasleys isn't a good position in which to find some privacy, and Ginny's growing exasperation with Harry insisting to everyone that they're "just friends" is quite believable. I would suggest that you do more to illustrate that in a scene or two before H/G's snow scene, rather than simply describing it in a paragraph as you did. But altogether well done! I'm also looking forward to your next published fic. |

Poor Harry and Ginny, not getting any time together because of Ron and the twins!! I am surprised Ginny didn't hex them all into next year!!
Like your other reviewer, I thought their reasons for getting together were spot on!! |
| Friday 28th January 2005 08:57 | Not Enough (Author Response) |
| Thanks a lot. I needed H/G a bit desperate in order to make the breakthrough more natural and stronger at the same time. And since I was trying to build up to something serious, I felt it was a good idea to give Hermione the opportunity to rule! If Ginny had hexed them, it would have been fun, but would have spoiled the seriousness, therefore: over to Hermione. |

In all the fan fiction I have read in the almost two years I have been in fandom, no one has ever given such a valid reason for H/G.
"Yes, we're too young. Too young to be possessed by Voldemort." She was rewarded by a collective flinch. "Or to lose those we love." Harry burrowed his face in Ginny's red locks and she reached up to wind her fingers into his hair. "We're far too young for a war, but we haven't been asked, have we? But we've decided that there's something nobody has a right to control. Will you deny us this happiness in all this mess?"
Beautifully done!
