| That was great! The ending was really funny how Ginny got "the hero" on her quiz. i also thought it was cute how Neville could figure out Ginnys feelings when hes normally clueless. The only thing I didnt really like was Harry not noticing Ginny. really cool story though. please make a sequel! |

This fic is unlike any I have read before. It was so believable! And I loved the end-it sounds exactly like a magazine.
Great job! |

| I like the way this story interweaves the events on the return trip in OotP with Ginny's thoughts. Her answers to the quiz's questions are mostly believable and sometimes very funny. The ending was hardly a surprise, but I doubt it was meant to be |

Haha! Great!
*Amorous snogging maybe, but who goes to a hill overlooking a lake to ponder? I could ponder quite comfortably in my bed. Should I choose to ponder. Then, I could also snog quite comfortably in my bed—*
And I loved this part, too!
Great answer to the quiz! What a sweet companion piece to the scene in the fifth book. Great work! |

| This story is probably one of the few fanfics JKR herself would've been proud to write,if she only did alternate POVs.I couldn't help but love Ginny in this one-and fall out of my chair laughing at the conclusion.She isn't a silly little girl anymore,and thank you for respecting her enough not to write her as one.Can't wait to see more of your work-I already read the sequel,and it's good too,but this was more fun. |

oh, very cute! nice Missing Moment; we've been suspicious that Ginny wasn't telling the whole truth when she said she'd chosen Dean. Now we know the Real Story!
and we never thought about her being a bit peeved because Cho keeps running off with her crushes, but it makes sense, doesn't it? |

Dear Basil M,
this is really a great story! When I started reading it, I didn't expect too much to behonest, because, well, I didn'tz think one could do too much with the whole theme(<-?)- but how was I mistaken:-)
First of all I hink that quiz was hillarious! I liked how you managed to let the questions sound really silly, just how it's usual with these quizes, but at the same time the answers (and the conclusion:-) )really show something about Ginny's character.
I also liked your portrait of Ginny, which was quite close to ootp canon. It was just sooo believeable, that she DOESN'T want to think of Harry in THAT particular way and has to remind herself not o do so all the time- and is so exasperated with her stupid thoughts running in that deriction all the time nevertheless... Just reminds me so much..:-P
Well, not to turn that into an essay, just as last point that I also liked that you didn't only concentrate on why H/G work, but also why M/C will work much better than Ginny's relationship with Micheal- I liked how you pointed out that people just are different.
yours Felizia |

Wonderful story. I*heart* missing moment fics, including ones like this. This review is for the sequal too.
You made all of the charcters so much IC yet they are so unique, especially Ginny. You managed to incorperate her strong emotions and sad past with her quirky sense of humor and cool head. She's great, she's pretty much canonGinny to a pinpoint. I am so glad you didn't make her a kick A$$ bad knockout like a lot of fics tend to portray her as. Your characterzation is so real, too. I mean here she is taking the train home after she's kicked some serious DE butt and Harry's goddaddy died and she's thinking about boys. That is so me. That is so much like a normal person. I mean the way some fics are written you'd think she spends every waking moment brooding and mourning her brains out.
Anyway, (yes this is getting lengthy... or so it seems) I really like your writing style too.I *heart* first person narratives, you just never hear 'em anymore. The humour you write is so (erm) J.K Rowling-ish. You had me laughing out loud couple of times.
Basically there isn't much I don't love about this fic, only the inevitable but quite annoying for non-shippers, Ron and Hermione romance hints. Sorry, I'm just not a R/Hr shipper (H/G.. well thats another story...;) so if there one thing I didn't like it's that and that's just my own personal problem. Keep it up, boo

P.S
Did I mention you had nice sibling interactions? Cause you really did |

I personally believe that there is no other girl for Harry than Ginny(and I think Ron agrees), and I hate Cho's guts! always have :) (well i dont hate her, but i hate her when she goes after harry and she's waaaaay too melodramatic! after the whole Cedric thing.

That was amazing! I loved it so much.
WHICH HARRY POTTER CHARACTER ARE YOU?
A. You love to talk about your feelings and you're not immune to feeling low. The most important thing for you is your looks and having someone who cares about you. If either thing goes wrong -- look out for you!
B. You'll be open with someone -- but only if you really know them. You may be a little outspoken but that most definetly does not make you a bad person! The thing that's most important for you is having good friends and having a comical outlook on things. If don't have both of these then you'd never go to choice A! Never!
If you chose A, I'm sorry you're a Cho. A suggestion: keep tissues handy.
If you chose B, Congrats! You're a Ginny. A suggestion: the next time you see a Cho give her a I'm sorry (she'll most likely have some problem) to be nice, but that doesn't mean you have to be her friend.
I'm a Ginny. I identified with her totally and completely in this fic. Who are you? |

::grins:: Love it. The quiz was appropriately cheesy (even a bit over-the-top at times). The ending was great, though... :) I do think, btw, that Ginny really is going out with Dean Thomas. I don't see why not, any how.
Good lines:
>If I talked to everyone who asked about my “feelings” I’d have no friends left. They’d all be scared away by the girl who let Lord Voldemort take over her soul
>I don’t dare look at Harry—if he’s indifferent, I’d rather not know. If he’s not, well, I’d rather not know.
those were two excellent Ginny insights.
great work!

Brilliant. Just BRILLIANT! I love Ginny in this one. It's perfect. I love it! This is going on my favorites list.
I love the: Cho and Michael can 'discuss their relationship' comment, it was too funny. In fact most of this was funny.
Ginny is so cool...I really hope she and Harry get together. The Quiz was the best! I knew it would be the Hero!
Ok I'm beginning to ramble so I'll just say one last thing: Brilliant story, i like it a lot! |

That was brilliant. I love how you took a scene from canon (one of the best scenes in the book, too, in my opinion) and transformed it into its own little story. Complete with snarky, sarcastic comments. This is a type of Ginny that I like to see. Interesting how Ginny can deny any sort of attraction to Harry, when she had a major crush on him before. But then, denial is a typical teenaged thing.
And Neville? Perceptive? That's an interesting...perception...of him. I always thought of him as rather naive. |

Hee! This was so much fun to read. :) Loved Ginny's snarky comments -- I think she showed us in OotP that her sense of humour is more akin to that of the twins than we might have realized. The bit about "train stations" was a lovely touch -- I assume you're referring to the JKR interview in which she said her parents met at one, so she thinks they're romantic. :) I also really enjoyed Ginny's thoughts as she led up to the explanation of the break-up -- I'm also of the opinion that she was just teasing about Dean.
So funny -- well done!

| That was wonderful! First of all, you do a good job of weaving canon in with your take on Ginny. Besides the funny fluffy stuff, which others have already commented on, I also loved your glimpses into Ginny's more serious thoughts, such as being afraid to "let people in" about her being possessed by Voldemort. It's apparent that she's not really over Harry, but she isn't really in the "hero worship" mode anymore, either. Thanks for a great glimpse into Ginny's mind! |

Great job. I loved every moment of it--I think that you got Ginny's personality down perfectly. I especially love the ending, and her romantic type: the Hero. Nothing could describe it better, and I do so hope that JKR will satisfy us all and bring them together. I can certainly imagine Ginny sitting there quietly, thinking just like this....
