Reviewer: Gin110881 Signed Date: 2014.11.05 - 04:16AM Title: Into The Forest Up till now I really like the story and how Ginny and Harry act together. Reviewer: wrappedinharry Signed Date: 2009.03.08 - 07:35AM Title: Into The Forest Although very interesting, I found this chapter...well, slightly pointless. Unless there are major revelations about these woods and the fountain and the bridge later on in the story, the chapter just seems like a fill in.

Anyways, keep up the AWESOME work! Kelsey Reviewer: joviality Anonymous Date: 2004.11.17 - 05:24AM Title: Into The Forest I love the first part!! The Arm, haha, And Harry's eating Ginny's hair? Amusing. Reviewer: Shriya Anonymous Date: 2004.11.13 - 05:47PM Title: Into The Forest *cringes* Ouch. Feel incredibly bad for poor, socially awkward Harry, but also empathize with annoyed Ginny. I'm in one those moods today, and seeing Ginny act exactly like I have is making me cringe a bit at my own behavior.
Yay! Rue and Golden Snidget! :D Reviewer: Gillian Anonymous Date: 2004.11.13 - 03:12PM Title: Into The Forest Fantastic job! I loved how Harry remembered that GInny stood up for him, I totally agree with what you said to Melindaleo, and I loved that Ginny kept throwing Harry's arm back at him, I probably would've hexed him too! LoL. This chapter was great! GInny's such a hoot, flipping out about her size! I love how her wand is this special wand, very interesting! I love it, can't wait for more! Reviewer: Sibling Creature Anonymous Date: 2004.11.13 - 07:47AM Title: Into The Forest *snickers* there is that, though I did actually mean that in a more literal sense considering the context of the story... one which would not require a change in the rating. *smiles* Reviewer: hairy_hen Signed Date: 2004.11.12 - 05:35PM Title: Into The Forest Hmmm . . . where to start?
To be honest I don't quite know what to make of this. It's so completely different from any other H/G scenes I've ever seen in fan fics that I was completely thrown off. The crucial difference is that you did not take the used road of having Ginny comfort Harry over things that happened in book five (which even I succumbed to!) Instead, Ginny is now acting very much as Harry himself did in that book, and it is her attitude that needs adjusting far more than his. You and I and are apparently among the few who believe that Ginny will go to almost any length to stop herself thinking about Harry in a romantic context, both because she is afraid of getting hurt by him again (not that he did it on purpose), and because she may harbor a slight unconscious resentment against him for it, even now.
It isn't easy to get me irritated with Ginny, I'll admit, but you did it here. Poor Harry's trying to be nice to her and she's biting his head off for every little thing, and she insists on mis-interpreting his remarks to her detriment, because she can't bring herself to believe that he could be complimenting her. But he's definitely noticed her now, all right--especially with her getting right up on him in the bed! Wow. That would get any bloke to notice a girl in a hurry. The supposedly chaste nap scene had me in almost painful hysterics. It was horridly funny, in a really uncomfortable sort of way.
Interesting stuff with Ginny's wand. That cow thing just weirded me out. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next chapter. You've certainly created one of the most original and unusual fan fics I've ever seen. Reviewer: rach Anonymous Date: 2004.11.12 - 04:38PM Title: Into The Forest hahah i love the arm..and the hair..and the shampoo..i loved the whole thing, really. im really looking forward to the next chapter, this story is coming along greatly!!! good luck! Reviewer: Jim McGuffin Signed Date: 2004.11.12 - 04:09PM Title: Into The Forest I agree with the other reviewers -- I'm glad you didn't do the chaste bed fanfic cliche. And Harry and Ginny will be in two separate beds come nightfall.
The Golden Snidget as a wand core -- interesting idea! Of course you went the symbolic route, since both Harry and Ginny are Quidditch Seekers who catch the bird's namesake.
When you wrote about that cat Animagus I thought I would see Professor McGonagall suddenly appear out of nowhere. But then I remembered that the house they are at is Unplottable, so McGonagall couldn't be there.
That's was a good point you brought up -- could the Malfoys be after Ginny because of the diary incident? Or is it because they hate the Weasleys? Does it have something to do with Ginny's status as one of the few female Weasleys? I'll be wondering about this while waiting for the next chapter. Reviewer: Crimson Tears Anonymous Date: 2004.11.12 - 03:50PM Title: Into The Forest I like this story because it has got the adventure thing. That there is always something interesting happening there. And I love how you always make sure all the details are right. it's very important and you do it just right.
Even the core of Ginny's wand and I loved the bed scene. That was totally adorable.....

I was so happy when I saw that you had updated! Ginny's wand is starting to intrigue me... And I thought that the picnic basket fiasco was very funny! Insquequo terminus, amanda Reviewer: peasandcarrots Anonymous Date: 2004.11.12 - 02:10PM Title: Into The Forest I've been really bad about forgetting to review your stories lately. Right now I just wanted to leave a really quick review though, and say that I love your new story. It's right up there with the "Wallpaper" series, for me so far. (Of course, I love all your work.)
For some reason, I never thought of a Golden Snidget feather being the core of Ginny's wand, even though I did wonder what was in her wand, and I just love that idea. It really suits her if she can't have Fawkes's feather in her wand since he only gave two feathers. Reviewer: AngieGS Anonymous Date: 2004.11.12 - 01:55PM Title: Into The Forest Another delightful chapter. I really enjoyed Ginny and Harry's 'bed struggle'. What a wonderful scene. The walk in the woods was also funny in a way too. Harry was trying so hard with Ginny and she was just having a bad day. I thought he was going to be in big trouble there at the end but man did he have a nice save. I still really like all of your writing and I do want to be like you when I grow up!:)
Cheers,
Angie Reviewer: Hexnut Anonymous Date: 2004.11.12 - 12:44PM Title: Into The Forest Oh, yeah, another question: what's insulting about "that cat is an animagus"? Reviewer: Sibling Creature Anonymous Date: 2004.11.12 - 12:39PM Title: Into The Forest I can't shake this strange suspicion that that cow isn't really a cow... :-)
I'm hoping something happens to prevent Ginny from being able to sleep in the box room though... I'd like to to see them begin to learn to, uh what was that phrase? oh yeah, "get along in bed" ;-) Reviewer: Hexnut Anonymous Date: 2004.11.12 - 10:11AM Title: Into The Forest A fluffy/prickly change of pace. Changes of pace are good. It seems like Harry is starting to notice Ginny, but Ginny is trying not to pay attention to that for some reason, maybe because she's too distracted by the previous day's events. The scene with the arm was too funny, thanks for doing that instead of the typical fanfic chaste bed snuggliness. | |||||||
