Not in a Good Mood 3
I bet there's a bare spot in Ginny's dorm room from all her pacing this year. It was nice to see Ginny finally coming to some realizations. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

I'd love to see a missing moment of what happened when the hunting party found McLaggen.

That's a very good question. He's conspiciously absent from the rest of HBP. Let's hope they did some permanent damage to him. On the other hand ... I've always felt he was one of JKR's more unfortunate inventions. He's a Gryffindor, but as stupid and despicable as the lowest Slytherin. He only fulfills a function in the book and then disappears from the stage.

I really love this series but this particular instllment most of all. It just puts you smack dab in Ginny's mind. I love the fact that the character motivation and chararacters feelings are so easy to follow. It makes riding out the story a blast when you really get the characterss POV.

You captured Ginny's pensive musings very well indeed in every one of these missing moments. This has been a most enjoyable series to read.

Another brilliant story. I beg of you, please consider writing a novel length story with Harry and Ginny interaction. I don't care if it's 7th year, AU, Post-Hogwarts! I must read more!! You're a fantastic author. Harry and Ginny's characterization are so on key, you never miss a beat. I love how Ginny always needs to scrutinize every little interaction between herself and Harry, I love it! Please post some more soon!

I'm working on it. - Oh, and I forgot to mention that the story on SIYE is called "Origimagus". It has loads of H/G interaction of the fluffiest kind. But there are also a few more things here on PS you might find interesting. Thanks for your consistent r/r.

Wow. Okay, don't know why I started with the third one first, but I did, and this was exquisitely done. Very in character, very well written. I like the parallels with Harry's perspective in HPB, and I loved the idea of a list.

Thanks a lot. To be honest I'm quite proud of the list.

Ok, great series, now just two more parts to go right? One where Ginny, not in a good mood, does the dirty deed to Dean (break up with him, not the other one!) and two, where her mood goes from bad to good in the common room on a sunlight day

Again, great job!

Sorry for the late reply. Just wanted to let you know that #4 is up. However, I skipped the breakup, but there will be a #5 on what happens after the funeral. Thanks for r/r.

WOW!!  Great, great AWESOME job! Oh my God, I LOVED this!! This was amazing. I had really hoped J.K. Rowling would do something like this but this definately made up for it. Oh, well done! You are an amazing author!!

Thanks a lot. I had hoped that too, but obviously JKR was more interested in other things. - Maybe we should remember that she doesn't write Harry Potter to satisfy the hopes of us poor shippers...

Great brooding. On the surface, it felt teen angsty and such, but then got under Gin's skin and really showed some depth and character.
Exhilaration and Bewilderment are two great words to describe love. Heh. You've go that down right. Good work.

Looking forward to more in this series ... if it continues. You have my vote.

It will continue. Unfortunately, a plot bunny for something else got in the way.

I really liked this. The tone was exactly right, very true to Ginny's character, and very entertaining. I loved your insight into the Ginny/ Dean relationship- I've never quite been able to figure it out but your interpretation is a good one. I loved the part about Hermione and Ginny making "lists" about Ron and Harry, and Ginny's vision of sobbing over Harry's prone body... Basically I really enjoyed this story, it made me laugh and fulfilled my desire for a H/G fix wonderfully.

Glad I could help! I'm particularly fond of the lists myself.

I enjoyed this.  It shows a side of the story that we don't see at all in Half-blood Prince: how Ginny's attitude changed from being friends with Harry to wanting more, and to a certain extent how Dean fitted into the picture.

Do you have more of these planned?  If so, I look forward to reading them.  You portray Ginny very well, both in terms of consistency with canon and expounding what we don't see.  She has that spark of fire that is apparent on occasions in canon, yet still remains (fairly) logical.

Thank you. Yes, #4 is in the planning stages.

Who-hoo!  Well, maybe not in a good mood, but definitely able to analyze.  Great chapter/fic.  Love your Ginny and her mental ramblings, and of course the conclusion.  She does indeed like Harry.  Cool!

Thanks for sharing!

Oooh! Love it! I can't wait until the next one to hear about her reaction to the kiss! I love the way you portray Ginny. I always thought she was an awesome character that didn't seem to be used much... so I liked the way you wrote her reactions to little things that only cover one sentence in the book, and you turn it into a paragraph. Very good job! Can't wait for the next one!
Wednesday 19th October 2005 07:28Not in a Good Mood 3 (Author Response)
I'm on a detour right now, but I'm working on it. And you're right BTW, the kiss seems the next logical step.

Really nice. You've hit Ginny right on. I loved how we got to see her thoughts on Harry's behavior.

Yay another one in the mood series! They have really been great so far and I do believe this was my favorite :D

"A. Harry has no girlfriend.

B. Harry reacts to Ginny."

Priceless! I can't wait to read more from your mood seris :)

Critmo, you are able to capture the true essence that is Ginny Weasley, the inspiration in Harry's dreams.  I love how you blend the pieces of canon into the story, and I can just picture Ginny doing this, working out all the pieces of the Harry Potter puzzle in her mind.  I especially liked the line with her fantasising about weeping over Harry's body in the hospital and declaring her undying love.
When I read HBP, I noticed that the story always returned to Harry, Hermoine and Ron - the trio, a united front.  I can see how Ginny would feel like she has been left out of "action" and isn't as well-informed as previously.  It is what makes me believe that book seven will focus on the trio, and Ginny as a more minor, although not unimportant character. 
Anyway, enough gushing - well done!

I share your fears concerning Book 7.

Great addition to your ever popular "Mood Series."  I like the way that you wrote Ginny.  You kept her extremely close to canon, but I have a huge soft spot for beautiful redheads, so next time do with her what you will.  I hope to see more from you soon.
