This is bittersweet in a way.

I feel very conflicted. As a huge Harry/Ginny shipper I have to admit that having Harry think so much of Daphne just irritates me. It makes me want to jump into the story and shake the boy to his senses.

At the same time I can sympathize. I was once his age too and it is understandable how he feels. To him this is his first girlfriend and very special in many ways. She is one of the few people that talk to him normally and don't try to bully him. It is natural for him to feel this way towards her.

At the same time you have to ask yourself why not Ginny? Well... I can only say that it is probably not the right time. He probably had some feelings for Daphne before Ginny came into the picture as a friend so naturally it is difficult to notice what is in front of you when your gaze is focused on something else.

With that said I do hope he wises up and realizes soon what he is missing out on. I feel for Ginny. This must be hard on her and she is very brave to try and keep from going crazy. I hope Harry soon realizes just how selfish he is being.

I can't help but wonder if the weather and conditions are some how there to illustrate just how dark and horrible Harry's life is right now. Perhaps when things get better the weather will improve?


:P

You know exactly how to keep the tension high. Always a little progress but reveal as little as possible to keep the readers captivated, lol. Or are the little things important someday that are overlooked so easily? We will see...

Harry might be a Slytherin, but he is the same moody git as in canon. I'm glad that Ginny stands up to his moodiness.

Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I'm glad you like this way of storytelling! And you're right, there are some fine details that are important. Lastly, Harry wouldn't be Harry if he wasn't a moody git at times.

Very unique story.
I like the way you have Harry teamed up with the twins. That would have made for some interesting pranks in Hogwarts.
If Harry doesn't like Draco, how did he end up in Slytherin? How did Harry and Ginny become such good friends whereas Harry and Ron don't seem like close friends at all.
So many questions. Need to read more.

Author's Response: Thank you for the review! There are indeed a lot of questions to be answered, and especially the matter on how Harry and Ginny became friends will be pretty central to the story. About Harry and the Twins: Harry can be very devious if he has to, isn't it? (Between you and me, I needed the Twins to make the plot work, hehe)

Another fascinating chapter. You have created wonderfully intriguing characters in Melchior and Selene. I am enjoying the setting as well, the endless darkness of a winter in Norway. They really need to find a way for a letter from Ginny to be sent to her parents to reassure them that she is alive and unharmed. The Weasleys will still be upset of course, but at least a note from her would give them hope. Harry needs to let go of this business with Daphne soon. Clearly there is nothing he can do about the situation anyway, and they only shared one date and kiss.

Author's Response: Thank you very much for the review! I mentioned it to Aurorofthelight before, but I don't think letting the Weasleys know that Ginny is safe is a viable option right now. They're wanted, and Harry and Sirius have a very dark reputation. I don't think a letter saying Ginny is fine will be well-received with the Weasleys, sadly. And oh, if only I listened to that last bit of advice you gave when I was a teenager! But then again, being an idiot is part of being a teenager, isn't it?

Somehow I always thought Draco ended up with Daphne's younger sister Astoria! If Harry were smart, he'd forget about Daphne and concentrate on the pretty little redhead with him! Nice to learn a little more about Selene! Surprised noone has thought to let the Weasleys know that Ginny is safe! Really liking the uniqueness of this story! Keep it coming please! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Author's Response: Hey, thank you for yet another review! Well, if I put Harry in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, I can get away with a lot more non-canon stuff. About letting the Weasleys know Ginny is safe: how? I think in chapter 2 we read that Mrs Weasley called Harry and Sirius miserable excuses for human beings (which is entirely understandable, given the circumstances). So I don't think she would believe it if they sent a letter saying Ginny is fine. Then there's also the fact that they're wanted from the Ministry, so sending letters would be a bit of a risk... Anyway, don't think Ginny will never see her family again! In fact, that time might be sooner than you think...

I like the writing and it is obviously a very original storyline with some unique characters, but after five chapters I do not have a clue about a lot of things. I hope thing will become a bit clearer before too long.

Author's Response: Thank you for the honest review! This story is a pretty slow one, you're right. In a lot of ways, this part of the story acts like a sort of prologue for things to come, an introduction to the characters and the type of story that this will become. I originally wrote a lot more, starting right after the happenings in the Chamber of Secrets, and following Harry through Hogwarts, but it went too slow for my liking, and I felt like I was just writing the millionth Harry at Hogwarts fanfiction. That's why I decided to start from Christmas, 1993, the point where it diverged from canon for good, but in doing so I omitted a lot of buildup and introduction time, which I then had to fit in here somehow. Anyway, a lot more will be revealed over the next chapters. I hope won't lose interest too soon.

So many questions, and we’re five chapters into a fine story – Who is Melchior and how did Selene come to him? If she was not sent to a high school how was she able to spy on Harry so well as to know all his secrets? Was Daphne just using Harry to keep her family’s feet in both camps, play all the odds so to speak? And what will Harry do once he finds out that she was using him – if in fact she was.

And of course the big one, how did Ginny come to be so tightly wrapped up with Harry, from previous chapters it seems like they were together quite a bit, going with him to the cave and other hints you’ve dropped – if will be interesting to see if you take them to more than the brother/sister relationship they have today, although I think from some of Ginny’s reactions she is already seeing Harry as something other than another brother.

Guess I’ll have to stick around and find out – well written, nice grammar all around and an intriguing story – I’ll in!....


Author's Response: Thank you very much for the review and the kind words! You raise some very good questions, and I hope they'll all be answered to your satisfaction.
