Reviews For Birds of a Feather

I suppose Harry and Ginny have now bonded. It will be interesting to see the repercussions!

Author's Response: I would guess so!

Evidently, Ginny's Veela traits are slowly showing up now, though surprisingly four years later than with Fleur. It seems that Ginny will experience the Veela Drive, and obviously quite unprepared. Apparently, the Sorting Hat was wrong when he told Ginny that Professor Flitwick could help her to find out something about her roots.

You've managed to come up with a quite intriguing version of the TWT, I like it.

And finally, the cream of the crop, the scene when the two of them met for the first time was brilliant, breath-taking brilliant, and worth the long wait.

I am delighted that my review on this more than brilliant chapter is the 300th review for this story.


Author's Response: And, as the 300th review, you get. . . . Something cool. Sparkle cookies? Anyway, Ginny's Veela traits are somewhat dampened compared to Fleur--remember that she was blood adopted by the Weasleys, so she's not as Veela as Fleur is. And I'm glad you liked the meeting scene--it's one of my favorites.

Perhaps that most scintillating kiss on the whole site. In terms of buildup and execution, it's right up there with the way ReisMacLeod rewrote H/G's quidditch party encounter.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad it came across that way to you--I thought it turned out well. -duke

That last paragraph was well worth the ~50,000 word prologue to reach it. Can't wait to start reading the real story now.

Thanks,
Will

Author's Response: There are a few things I would do differently if I were starting this story over--one of them is how long it took to get to the "real" action. Thanks for the comments!

I really like this story, but narrowing your focus would be nice. The story's flow is ruined when you digress or veer off into ancillary characters stories. Thanks for writing and sharing.

Author's Response: Thanks for your comments. I'm sorry you don't like my ancillary characters--I'm kind of fond of them.

Well, this was my second guess at how they would meet although I thought it would be the triwizard tournament. Completely worth the wait! I wonder if Ginny would revert to her natural look? Thats just me gettin ahead of myself.

Author's Response: There were quite a few people who expressed, in no uncertain terms, that Ginny wouldn't be Ginny without her red hair and freckles.

Abraxans are winged horses, why wouldn't they fly?

Author's Response: Well, they could be purely ornamental. . . Thanks!

An excellent chapter. I love that he was the one to come to her and that you did not do the usual beeting around the bush of does he like me does she like me tired thread.



Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked their meeting. I get so tired of the angsting over whether or not Ginny likes him back. I figured that Harry knows what a Veela Mate is, and figures he's found his, so why bother with all the other stupid stuff?

I love Harry's line at the end. It seemed perfect.

The chapter indicates Flitwick has not helped Ginny understand any of her Veela heritage as alluded to during her sorting. Is this because she has not gone through the change? I was thinking maybe the fireballs would be enough of a sign. I'm glad you skipped ahead though, because I was anxious for the the first meeting. It didn't disappoint.

Will we find out what Dumbledore has been doing for the past few years?

Loved the chapter. Looking forward to the next update.

Author's Response: You'll find out a little more about what Ginny's been doing in Hogwarts, including with the teachers and Flitwick's role, as time goes on. Dumbledore too. I really wanted to get to their meeting too, and felt that I'd dragged on long enough. Thanks!

Awesome chapter, well worth the wait. I just squeed and woke up my kids, lol. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it! And I hope your kids went back to sleep all right.

Yeah! That was awesome! Can't wait to see what happens after the kiss :)

Author's Response: It should be interesting, thanks for reading.

Although the big jump (first to fourth year) is a bit problamatic, for instance how come Hermione has not realised Ginny is a Veela, and who rescued Ginny from the chamber, (which was first year, a little slip there), but it all fades to insignificance when Harry and Ginny meet. Perhaps the best kiss in all fandome and way better than JKR's. Well done!

Author's Response: Thanks for the comments, let me try to address them. First, Hermione doesn't realize Ginny is a Veela because Ginny doesn't bandy about her abilities. And Hermione didn't know about Veela until the fourth year anyway. Ginny got the diary in her first year, in canon, but remember, she started school a year earlier in this AU, so the diary happens in her second year. And we'll learn more about it as the story goes on--I haven't forgotten about it. And, I'm glad you liked the kiss--I enjoyed writing it.

OMG finally! That's so fantastic! And the last paragraph was so awesome. xD Just ... don't have Fred and George sock Harry yet. That would suck. :P

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it--I liked the last paragraph too. As for the twins, remember Arthur's instructions on the platform. . .

I have to admit that I was wondering how you'd get them together. Nicely done.

This chapter, Bob, was a masterpiece!

You did make the anticipated time jump up towards the 4th year but instead of a Tri-Wizard you opted for a Tri-school Quidditch Tournament and that, my friend, is the first time I came across such a splendid idea.

Ginny's not being interesting in dating boys and finding their attention quite annoying was puzzling for a bit until I remembered that she is part Veela and unlike Fleur, she probably does have a bond drive and a mate waiting for her and whom better than our illustrious Harry who speaks with a lovely French tongue!

I loved how you named Ginny, Neville, Luna and Hermione 'The Fearsome Foursome' because it does fit so well. You've done great on Luna; she's still very quirky and seems off but on the other hand can be so direct and blunt "Greetings, Neville. Have you told her yet?" obviously meaning Neville's attraction towards Hermione thus explaining why he is not 'into' Ginny like the other droolers.

Now, you totally made me SQUEEEEE with that kiss! It was hot!
Giselle described her drive to kiss her mate right there on the spot when she met him at school but didn't give in but Ginny and Harry going at it in front of the school was bloody brilliant. The way he said to her "I've been looking for you." was soooooo sweet and Hermiones sigh of happiness made me smile.

Now, what is to come soon.

*I think Fleur might realize that Harry found his mate but will she realize that Ginny is a Veela like her? Or will it be Ginny's fireballs that will give it away and make her realize who Ginny really could be.
**Hermione will go into full research mode to try find anything on this flash romance in the Library where she might meet a vertain Quidditch player.
***Viktor will hit on Hermy-o-ninny and Neville will show his courage *fingers crossed*
****Harry & Ginny will tend the ball together? (I'm still squeeeeeing here)

Oh Bob, you've totally made me happy, albeit temporarily.

Until next time, take care.

Author's Response: Hi Collinda, I love reading your reviews--they make me happy. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the chapter--I hoped it would be well-received. I figured that there was no way that McGonagall would be so foolish as to allow the Tri-Wizard Tournament to take place--she's always been more concerned about her students than Dumbledore. And I'd much rather write about Quidditch victories than silly life-threatening tasks. Besides, it sets up an absolutely perfect cliffie. . . Mwuahahaha! Lots of people seem to have forgotten that Ginny's part-Veela too--and you hit it right on the head as to the reasons behind her lack of interest in boys. Very puzzling for her, isn't it? I especially like your thoughts on upcoming events--fun ideas to play around with, and I might include some of them. Thanks again!
