starstarstarstarstar

A brilliant story becomes even better with every chapter. Especially this one is written with a lot of passion in it.
The funny thing is, that I never would read that kind of story with other characters . It really works with Gin and Harry for me only.... and the two of them are really cute.
The first chapters had been so innocent that I got the feeling we were in the summer after Gin's first year.
Sadly there are only 8 chapters left to read ... :-(

Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying the story. The next three chapters were some of my favorites to write because they're so happy together. Of course, without some conflict or mystery there wouldn't be much of a story. :) Thanks for reading!

The first touch of their mouths tingled. The second touch, with his lips firm and warm against hers, sparked something deep inside of her. By the third touch, she was holding on to him tightly, trying to fill that inexhaustible need to go on and on . . . until that spark inside of her turned into fire. Then he took that fire . . . and then he gave it back . . . over and over . . . until all the oxygen was consumed.' This kiss was beautifully described. It was perfect in every way.

The whole chapterr was beautiful...Ginny's thoughts at the beginning, the chatty ornaments, Aunt Martha gently encouraging them and then HArry and Ginny together.

Ginny's Patronus is so close to her canon Patronus, I can't even be disappointed. The unicorn is way better, for all the reasons that HArry said. And I loved that it let Harry's stag catch it.

A delight.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the kiss - Since there was such a build up to it, I had to make it good. :) A conversation speculating about what Ginny's Patronus could possibly be is what led to this fic. Thanks for reading!

I've been playing catch-up on all of the great fiction I seem to have missed...and how I managed to miss this is beyond me. Truly, I wish I could have found it when it was new and I could have nominated you for a DSTA.

You writing, as susal is brilliant...and I love the little things you sneak in...like the "I'm melting" line from the wizard of Oz...Strawberry Fiels from the Beatles...and the Elizabeth Croker Cookbook.

Many authors have said Ginny's Patronus was eith a Unicorn, or a Doe...but never gave a reason. The stag and the unicorn were so (and I promised myself I would never use this word, but it fits here) sweet. Ah, yes...and the Patronus kiss...that little bit belongs to you, and it was brilliant.

Darian

Author's Response: Aren't you sweet? (I can use that word) This was written waaay before DSTAs and before the H/G ship was launched - so it's very AU but I still like the scenario. LOL - and I still like Patronus Kisses as a magical, fluff concept. Thanks for dusting this one off and reading!

Oh my God, this was a great chapter and I don't only mean the Patronus Kiss. I really liked Ginny's conversation with the figurines....overall, this was all lovely. I've always thought Ginny's patronus would be a unicorn for the same reason you did. You've got me totally hooked, I love this story. Can't wait for the next chapter, how is Arpie doing by the way?

Author's Response: Arpie is run off of his feet because I have been grumpily ordering him about while I try to write the challenge. I'll have to make it up to him with chocolate. :)

Sorry about reviewing again, BUT I did re-read it. I also read a few of the reviews.... One reviewer encouraged you to make this a 'married' fiction in which Ginny is given the farm, but has to marry Harry. *smirk* If you do... I suggest that they re-wallpaper the main house. By the way, what kind of shoes does Aunt Martha wear? Oh, and THE KISS is even more lovely on the second read. Far and away the best kiss I have read in fiction. (I certainly hope JKR is taking notes, as this is how it should be done!) Nice images with the stag and the unicorn - interesting historical symbols... families that are by tradition united?

Author's Response: I'm always happy to hear from you! I'm glad you liked the kiss - and I hope the other big romance scene is just as effective. It's two chapters away - not written yet - but one I'm very excited about. That is one big house to wallpaper! How bout they have a portrait painted instead - and maybe a landscape with a swimming hole? LOL. Yes - the united idea is where I was going with the stag and the unicorn - it's on the UK coat of arms and is symbolic of the power of that land - something Ginny is coming to learn about.

I usually just lurk around here... I've never submitted a review. Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! :) Even though I write fic myself in other fandoms and I know how sucky it is to not receive feedback... I'm a huge Harry/Ginny fan though, even though I've never tried to write HP fic... I'm tempted though! I've got one idea but I dunno how well it'll be received since it kinda twists up the end of CoS. *g* Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love this story. In fact, all of your stories are great. Usually I don't even read multi-chaptered stories unless they're already finished, but when I saw that you had written this one I decided that I would follow it anyway. And I get all happy and fuzzy inside when you update it. :) This chapter was great... I think my favorite part (besides the kiss!) was the part where Ginny's unicorn and Harry's stag were nuzzling each other. It was just a really good, original idea. At least I thought so anyway. And the kiss! *sigh* Wonderful... :) I also like your Aunt Martha character... Sometimes I forget that she isn't a canon character. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I am reading. Now you can add another notch to your belt 'cause you delurked a lurker... *g* Emily :)

Author's Response: Anytime you want to delurk - you go right ahead! That's great Aunt Martha just seems part of the landscape of the story now. I'm glad you've been reading and enjoying - I've really enjoyed writing this story!

Great..absolutely genious.. I especialle love the way it all played out, in this part; *** She didn't know what she wanted from Harry exactly - but she did know what she didn't want. She didn't want him treating her like a precious figurine he was afraid to touch. A tentative, careful kiss was not going to pull a Patronus out of her. Or, if she was completely honest - a tentative, careful kiss was not going to . . . satisfy. Luckily, she knew how to provoke Harry into something better. "I don't know if kissing is such a good idea," she declared. ********* That's more like Ginny..instead of taking whatever is offered to her straight away...When the kiss comes, it bloody well should be awesome! And, oh my, it was..One of the best H/G first-kiss scenes I've ever read.. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: That's what is so much *fun* about H/G that a lot of people seem to miss - she challenges - look at the library scene where she tells him that anything is possible "if you've got enough nerve." And then she's worried about him! He'd better come up with a good kiss in canon!

Ackk! Imiss giving a review in the last two chapters. Anyhoo, wow, I *heart* that Patronus Kiss scene, what H/G shipper wouldn't, LOL! About Ginny's patronus, I'd read so many different theories on what will it be and I like the idea her patronus (aside from a lion, of course or a phoenix). I think that it's really appropriate for her especially what the unicorn symbolizes in the HP series and in general. Can't wait for the next chapters to see where that "kiss" will lead to , hehehe.

Author's Response: Kisses lead to more kisses! LoL.

HURRAH! They kissed! I loved the Patronus bit too- where Ginny's unicorn wanted to be caught! Can't wait for the next chapter!

This chapter is totally sweet, loved it from beginning to end, the wait for this fluffy chapt is worth it (the previous chapters have been very well-written too). As usual, I'm looking really forward to the next chapter. Perhaps you can include what made Harry interested in Ginny? I'm curious, what exactly did Molly and Aunt Martha say to Harry (about Ginny)?

Author's Response: That will probably take a while to get Harry's thoughts - but he will clue Ginny in on a few things!

I was feeling like complete crap all day. Then I read this. For a while there, I almost felt like a giddy twelve-year-old girl, before the ruggedness took over again. LOL! Anyway, I found this to be quite an impressive chapter. A bit "romance novel"-ish, perhaps, but not overly so. The unicorn and the stag really do go together well, don't they? (Much better than the stag and the snake! Oh well.) Something tells me this was a calm before the hurricane--not only haven't we heard the last of Malfoy's plot, I'm sure, but Ginny and Harry have a few things to discuss, or it would all be too perfect. Plus Ginny needs a chance to test her Patronus under pressure! *dramatic sigh* Such a lovely scene though . . . er, right. Anyway. I don't much like coquettes. There's another word for that, you know, and it has five letters and starts with a "b". At least for the really obnoxious ones. Still, it was funny to read about Ginny talking with those ridiculous figurines, and the dudes talking about how much spunk Aunt Martha has. It's true, "real" men like 'em strong and intelligent, not absurd or manipulative. Good to see Ginny getting some of that confidence in herself--and Harry in himself too, for that matter. (Just for the record--I never said I was too skeptical for the Patronus Kiss. It just didn't fit that particular spot in my fic. Otherwise, chances are Harry wouldn't have been captured, and then where would my story be?) So yeah, awesome job with this. Definitely looking forward to the next chapter. Happy writing!

Author's Response: Oh good - I'm glad you drove a spike through Sir Skeptic to enjoy the fluffy chapter. I'm also glad you liked the unicorn - for this story it really works. But I have seen the snake used effectively and I think it makes sense as a Patronus as well. It's all about strength in the end. JKR has given us so many choices to highlight symbolically a character - you can go with the wand wood - or wand core - or Patronus - magical ability - or Hogwarts house. In a story you can highlight just one or many. I think as long as they are consistent, and work together, all those symbols can deepen the readers understanding of a character. I have Ginny understanding Parseltongue in this story - so I definitely see the strength of the snake in her as well. The coquette scene is my little commentary on Barbie world which has the ultimate goal for a girl (we're talking six year olds here) is to dress up and be admired. Yiikes! That's a great fantasy but not very fulfilling in the end. I see you're playing the artistic integrity card - I accept that. :) And I'm glad you didn't use it in your fic - since I could use it mine!

When I first reviewed this story, I gave it a four -- the highest score on the RLS fluff scale. After I read this chapter, of course that score is going down a little. A unicorn -- interesting choice! I can't wait to read the next chapter with your explanation of the symbology behing why you chose it. But alas, you say that you must take a break in order to defend your title as the SIYE holiday challenge champ. So far, most of your challenge entries have been especially fluffy, and so I know better than to expect anything more than an RLS-two there. In any case, good luck!

Author's Response: Jim - I'm a little worried about you after all this fluff. You should sit down for a while . . . I did warn you. I will warn you also that there is more fluff to come! Oh maybe I'll make it a one for the boxing day challenge!
