Really touching chapter especialy the last few, brought a lump to my throat. Ginny must be all over the place inside, there must be so many emotions inside right now it's surprising that she's keeping it all together. Liking it more and more!

Heartrending last paragraph.... even if all the remaining paragraphs were setup for this chapter,.. would be worth it!

I just thought I hadn't read this before, I have...and it's wonderful. I'm enjoying reading it all over again.

OK, so I read this chapter when you first posted it but didn’t have time to write a review. That was a shame as I wanted to heap praise upon you. So, let’s give it a go now.

I cannot commend you enough on the reunion. If seeing her the first time brought it all back to him, that would’ve been too easy and a bit trite. She asked the right questions – what does he remember from both lives, what does he do, etc. while not overloading him with too much emotion which probably would’ve been overwhelming. She’s taking it slowly even if in her head she’s damning his for his good looks and dreading the possibility of him returning to his old life. Poor Harry. He is now neither Harry nor Sean, and that will take time for him to figure out.

While I wonder if he remembers anything specific about dating Ginny, I like to think that his sentiment about the Weasleys and The Burrow explain how he knew that. The Burrow feels like home, and everyone he’s met feels like old family. He knew as soon as he saw Ron that he was his oldest friend and remembered a few random facts even if he didn’t remember the day to day aspect of their friendship. I have to think it was the same with Ginny. Deep down he has to know how important she was to him. It’s a bit soon to jump off that bridge. Still, their first stab at a conversation went very well, even if it left Ginny with that bittersweet sentiment at the end. Lovely!

Author's Response: Thanks so much - i purposely didn't want to give up too many details of what he does and doesnt remember about Ginny, it's more interesting that way, I think!

I imagine that was a hard chapter to write. You did a beautiful job. Love your story!

Author's Response: thanks so much - it was rather hard to write, actually. I always find dialogue difficult, which is weird given that I tend to use a lot of it when i write!

I liked the pace in this chapter for their first meeting. Despite my fears of Harry's reaction to the history of Ginny's actions of moving on from him so quickly, at least in the present they were able to interact as people without strings and could learn to like each other again in the present. I think you have laid a good foundation for the future reconciliation even though I expect some angst on Harry's part when he fully recovers his memory and pieces together the past and everyone's loyalties to him. And there is that small matter of his current girlfriend and where she fits into all of this. Are you going to complicate the plot by having her show up pregnant the next time Harry sees her?

Author's Response: oh dear, that would be one heck of a complication - LOL! Thanks so much for the review

It's gtting good...annnnd the clock hasn't struck twelve yet, Ginny! DOn't let your carrige turn back into a pumkin! AND HIS NAME IS SO NOT SEAN. And I keep readng it in my head it's Seen instead o shawn. Haha. I've Seen Sean. xD

Author's Response: I used to do the same thing, reading Sean as "Seen", but then i met a Sean who explained that it was the original Irish spelling of the name, and Shawn/Shaun, etc were just derivatives. So I stuck with Sean. Thanks so much for the review - hope you keep reading!!

Wow, wasn't quite what I was expecting, but good nonetheless. =) I enjoyed most of it, especially when there was little bits about their past relationship. Like when he suddenly blurted out "we used to date" and when his eyes caught sight of her engagement ring. Very lovely ending as well! Ties the title in perfectly. Good job.

Author's Response: I'm happy the title ties in well, when you give something a title before you're totally finished with writing it, that's always a worry! thanks for the kind review!
