| I just love this story. I've read it a million times and I never get tired, and I'll never stop coming back to it. It's just so heartbreaking... Oh well... I LOVE IT! |

It's not supposed to be exciting. *annoyed sniff* It's supposed to be quiet and sad and heartwrenching.
Hm. Anyway.
I never liked Ginny. I really wanted to like her, but JKR just couldn't make me. I must've had a block toward her in my mind that prevented me from really understanding her as an important character. But this piece is the first thing I've ever read that made me feel for her. I love the vivid descriptions of sensations wihle she swam (incidentally, didn't she also swim in the beginning of AtE? You like it when she swims, I guess ;) ) and the imagery of Harry's defeated pose, just sinking into himself and away from the world. So sad. God, I love Harry. The poor kid. LOL. |

| this was ok, not one of arabella's greatest works. it does show ginny's feelings about harry so you do get an understanding of the whole thing. but like i said,it wasn't to exciting. |

That made me cry...It was just so sad, and so sweet at the same time. I desperatly wanted Ginny to go with what she felt; and sit by him, except it could'nt have been possible *sniff*. Wow. You are such a talented writer! You're amazing!
Love, Jestin |

This is so beautiful and sad, I just love it. Poor Harry. Poor Ginny. Sigh. I think I'll go find something fluffy now. Happy writing!

| I know this is old, but I've just started amusing myself by looking at all the archived stories and art. I really liked this. Ginny was so very ... Ginny-ish. I love the way you described what it was like being underwater. The ending was perfect: it's easy to imagine Ginny running away as opposed to hiding behind the door or approaching Harry again. |

| Very well-done characterization. Finally, a fic that recognizes that what Harry's going through isn't something Ginny can help with by forcing him to talk or other such nonsense ^^ |

It's too bad that Ginny can't just talk to Harry and that Harry won't even take notice of her. Stupid Harry can be so blind sometimes, it's almost annoying, lol. Nice work. :D

| Awww why did Voldemort have to mess innocent kids' lives up like this? Again, great writing. I love how you write the Harry/Ginny relationship. It will be hard for me now to separate your fanfiction form J.K. Rowling's books. =) Keep writing! |

| I was hoping that you would have something to do with the third task, after reading your version of the Second. This may have been shorter than that one, but it was better, IMO, because we get to see more depth. |

| do you think perhaps that there could be a second part to this story. it is amazingly written and really shows what grief is like. |

| What happened to the picture you drew? The one with Harry on the steps and Ginny leaning against the door. Do you think you could put it back with your other fan art? I liked it. |

| Lovely. I am awed by your strong interpretation of Ginny, yet your ability to maintain strong character ties to canon. This fic really grasps strongly to the quiet angst of Ginny's situation. It's really quite lovely. Kudos! |

| I'm plowing through your stories this evening, how pathetic. *lol* But I really am glad I read this story before quitting--Ginny's a character we see so little of, I often times wonder why so many people see her with Harry. But then I read stories like this, the few little gems that turn Ginny into a real, 3 dimensional character to me, and I can suddenly see why the relationship is so plausible. So thanks. :) |

| Awwww...so sweet and so sad. Poor Ginny-- she wants so badly to comfort Harry that she's in just as much pain as he is. Very powerful story, even though it's short, and very touching. |
