Beautiful, simply charming. Thanks!

Author's Response: Thanks! This my favorite of the H/G stories that I've written to date. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing!

This was a nice story! Will we ever get to find out when that ring comes out of the nightstand?


Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, for sure. This story fits into the timeline I've put together for the Black Legacy series that is, by all accounts, forthcoming. I need to get far enough ahead with beta reading to work on my own stuff, I suppose. The proposal comes before the main storyline, but I think I'll post occasional oneshots as prequels of sorts. Excerpts is one of those, and others might show the story behind their owls, where they live, etc. To answer your question, he proposes on her 19th birthday, a little less than two years after this story. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Judged for competition.

I've enjoyed all of your challenge entries, and this one's no exception. It's an interesting blend of humor and fluff.

So we begin with Harry, visiting the Burrow for Christmas, from -- Hogwarts? So here apparently Harry has decided to finish his seventh year at Hogwarts after all, since you state that Harry is once again Ginny's Captain -- and a slave driver? LOL! Not even Oliver was that bad, was he?

Polyjuice is a part of this challenge, and you decided to use it in an intriguing way. Yes, perhaps the only way to get George back in a holiday mood is to play a prank on him. Well, that and this new girl George appears to have a crush on!

As already pointed out, Ron/Hermione provide an extra humorous angle. (Chest? LOL! Twins -- another name for what's on Hermione''s chest -- LOL!) Also, it's good to see Percy rejoin his family, and also to see Gabrielle again. (Yes, sometimes being a quarter-veela does come in handy.)

The ending was very sweet as George and Caitlyn kiss under the mistletoe. Meanwhile, I saw you tell another reviewer that this may be part of a longer fic? If so, I might check it out some time.

Overall, great job! I wish you luck in the challenge!

Author's Response: Well, I'm thrilled to see someone caught the chest references... I'd like to take a moment to review you, if that's alright. You leave such detailed reviews when you judge. Thanks for taking the time to make every person who participated feel that their story was a valuable contribution. Seriously, that kind of thoughtfulness makes my day!

Very nicely done! I enjoy seeing Percy in stories now. The twinspeak in the portraits was very amusing and appropriate. Very clever. The snowball fight at the beginning was very touching and the way you transferred from joy to sadness in George was a smooth transition and very convincing. The jumpers locked away was a smart idea! I loved Mrs Weasley's early gift to George. Thanks for writing!

Author's Response: Thanks for judging! I appreciate your compliments, thanks for taking the time to review.

I read this for judging purposes. I really enjoyed your story. There was good characterization and very nice flow. I especially liked how managed to involve everyone of the Weasleys in a significant way.

Good luck!

Author's Response: Thanks! I love the Weasleys, glad you thought I did them justice.

The progression of moods is perfect, and so is the characterisation, and so is the flow... et cetera. I loved it! Good luck in the challenge! (It logged me out the first time I tried to review, so I hope this doesn't get posted twice.)

Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to leave such an encouraging review! It's appreciated more than I can say in really tiny italicized letters, I assure you.

A very enjoyable story! The snowball fight was a really fun scene. I could very much believe that a snowball fight between those characters would happen exactly as you described it.

The ring scene between George and Harry was also nicely done. I was impressed with how you were able to mix in some good Harry/Ginny fluff in a challenge that could easily take the focus elsewhere (I struggled with that in my entry).

Overall, well done!

Author's Response: Thanks! I was hoping that the snowball scene worked, I'm glad you think it does! As for the ring scene, that was probably my most rewritten scene. I'm glad you liked it. Side note: I think your entry had just the right amount of fluff, so the struggle was well worth-while.

Aww, that was such a wonderful story! Very funny, too; I love the little Ron/Hermione bits! The part in the shop was just too hilarious! And Ginny's gift was just special. ^_^

Good luck in the competition!

Author's Response: Thanks! I think I irritated my wife as I was writing parts of this. When the bit in the shop happened I had to go tell her about it. Somehow it's not as special when, in your excitement, you wake the baby. Oh well, I'd written enough that night anyhow. Thanks for the review!

One of the things that I always try to do in my own stories is to paint a picture with words in the readers' collective mind's eye. You have a great talent for this that I admire immensely. For example, the snowball fight with which you open sets a nice mood, and even provides support for interactions (specifically, the family's toward Percy when he arrives there). You balance character development with that for the plot, but at the same time provide a good tempo for the reader. I know that this is difficult, but it can be a fantastic tool. Your story is an attention-grabber from the start, and absolutely one that will not be set down once begun. I didn't even mind (too much) seeing the term fogies being utilized. By my arithmetic, I am close to Arthur Weasley's age and perhaps older (another reason to pass the baton to Spenser). This was an excellent submission and I very much enjoyed. Thank you and great luck! Eric B.

Author's Response: Thanks Eric, that means a lot. As for the nearly offending word you mentioned, I can assure you that it was used with every intention of irony. I think Arthur's thrilled to see the guys (especially Charlie) getting 'schooled' by the younger crowd. By MY arithmetic, I am close to Charlie's age. That gives me license, right? Well, maybe not. Regardless, thanks again for taking the time to read. I truly appreciate your comments.

Simply amazing, Quinn. I love it! :oD

Author's Response: I couldn't ask for higher praise than that. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and leave a review!

This was a great story! I do hope that George decides to have Harry give his little gift soon. I assume you have a story planned??? :D

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm not planning a follow up, although I did make this fit in with the timeline I've been working with on Black Legacy. Harry proposes to Ginny at her 19th birthday, so in another year and eight months or so. I know that's a long time, but I think that being able to take their time is something that Harry and Ginny are very grateful for after everything. Speaking of being grateful, thanks again for taking the time to review!
