Well done love the makeshift family you have given to Harry. I think Ginny will fit right in or at least after a little time maybe.

Very good chapter, and a very funny ending, can't wait to see what happens next. Hope the lettle talk that Ron and Harry had, will help Harry. If not, Harry should Hax Ron into next year. :D

Great story! I have really enjoyed reading it. It has been great reading about Harry keeping on at Ginny until he is just Harry and not the Boy-Who-Lived.
I like your version of Harry. He is strong and caring and doesn't take anything off of anyone.
Your version of Ginny is good, but I think you need to start making her a little stronger. She seems to be past the Harry crush stage. I know she was shocked to end up in Slytherin, but I think she is past that too. However, I can see how her brothers and their actions/attitudes could cause her some problems. If my brother treated me like she has been treated, I would be crushed.
I suspect Daphne will realize that something is going on with Harry. She is too sharp to let something like that slip past. She might not find out exactly what is going on, but I would expect her to be aware.
Great "talk" between Harry and Ron. I'm glad that Harry let him have it in a nice way. Also, I don't expect Harry and Ron to EVER be great friends. Too much has happened for that to happen.
I look forward to seeing how you finish up this story. I'll give you credit where it is due, you have created a believable plot and you have presented it very well. Great job on the story! Please update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks for the complements.
While you didn't bring this up specifically, its related to a point you brought up. I'm trying to make this as realistic as possible. I've read (and been disgusted by) stories where a relationship develops out of no where, or develops too fast. Harry and Ginny aren't going to be saying they are in love with eachother a week after they start dating. It's going to be a slow progression, especially because Harry simply cannot make a true committment. And Ginny's going to have to learn to accept that. Ginny's character will change, and some of you might not like everything she'll become. But in the coming war, the Light needs strong leaders, not fun-loving pranksters whose claim to fame is the Bat-Bogey.

Very good chapter.
I can't believe Penelope bought Ron and Dean's tale! Poor girl... I wonder what Harry will have her do for him... and will she be attacked, like in canon? That'd be brilliant to get some people really suspicious of Harry... like Ron, for example.
Speaking about Ron, I enjoyed reading that conversation very much indeed. It's good to see those two can actually hold a decent, serious conversation without attempting against each other's lives. Harry's much more mature than he was in canon, and that shows clearly in this conversation. Thumbs up!
Harry knowing how to get into Gryffindor Tower can get interesting too...
And what were those girls talking about, heh? ;)
I'm looking forward to seeing a very nice Christmas to Ginny, she deserves it! And hooray for our mischievous Tonks!
Take care and update ASAP, please!
Author's Response: Harry knows how to get into Gryffindor Tower because Hermione lets him in.

you are an amazing writer. i love this story and can't wait for you to continue.

It might just be me, but Ron is almost being the exact stereotype of the Slytherin that he hates. He wants attention, to be number one, spreading lies just to get there. He's sneaky, getting Penelope to make the Polyjuice behind Snape's back, etc.
I was really waiting for Harry to say something along the lines of "You know what? You're being more of the Slytherin that you hate than I am!"
Loved this chapter, waiting to see the interaction of Ginny/Tonks in the next one. ;)
Author's Response: You do have a point there, strangely enough. Though Ron's ambition isn't really, well...ambition. He wants attention, he doesn't want to be the best he can be. That's one thing that separates him from Harry. Yes, he can be sneaky, but he's obviously not that good at it, which is kind of the point. In addition, his 'competition' with Harry really isn't. He's only attacking Harry because: A) he's bitter (as Ginny explained) B) he think he's bad for his sister, and C) Harry's a high profile target, and people care about him. He isn't trying to be as great as Harry is trying to be. That's why he isn't Slytherin. Ron basically embodies all the negative qualities of Gryffindors at this point. As for Ginny/Tonks? You might have to wait a bit, as I'm on a roll with Daphne at the moment. But there will be some.

hehehehehehe.. .that was funny and the talk with ron was so mature! i really liked this chappi, but what will happen in dressler manor????
Author's Response: Not much, to be perfectly honest. A long peek into Daphne's head, a few setups for later events, and some interesting interaction between Ginny and Tonks (Harry had better run).

Excellent chapter, keep up the superb work. By the way, I've been told that Harry is short for Henry, not Herold. S.
Author's Response: Never heard that. And Luna sounds stranger saying Harold.

Greetings! I like your story so far but I would suggest you finding someone to Beta it. The errors I've seen are minor but I know some people might have problems with your story with the errors. I look forward to the next chapter, good job so far.
Author's Response: Ehh... My grammar is pretty good, though I do miss a few things from time to time. I try to fix them as soon as I see them. For some reason, they are more apparent to me after I've posted it.

This is a really creative idea for a story! I have to admit that at the beginning I was really nervous about this fic especially the way Ginny and Ron were portrayed. I like how Ginny has progressed and I look forward to see how her trip at Harry's is (though I have to confess a desperate, silly, romantic longing for Harry to realize he is madly in love with Ginny and sweep her off her feet!) I'm a tad bit uncomfortable with Ron but I see where you want to go with him and I trust you ;) I admit I can't wait for the fifth and sixth parts or at least for them to be older. I look forward to future parts and while I feel as if I am making a commitment to this series of fics I assume it will be a good one. Excellently written! Great job! Hurry up with the next part!!
Author's Response: I am.
Ron isn't done developing. Not even close. When he grows up, and learns to be more tolerant and look at things in perspective. There will be a few more rough patches, though.

Nice again, good work and good fluff. I surely hope Ron gets his mind set soon.
Author's Response: I'm not sure if you can call it fluff. I've always thought of fluff as involving a romantic relationship. This was just character interaction, and set up for a few things.
