I've been enjoying your story, reading in bits and pieces while on vacation! You're absolutely correct about your improvement as this story has progressed. While your use of the English language has been excellent from the start, your storytelling improved greatly! I chose this story based upon your premise as summarized and didn't pay attention to the date of writing! I am looking forward to reading some of your more recent work after I finish this!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for noticing the improvement in my writing! May I recommend that you finish the trilogy by reading Summer Story? You'll see improvement in that story over this one. It also holds some of my own favorite chapters. Of the rest of my stories, please read in this order, For Love of Family and Ancestors. In each of these three novel-length stories, you'll find I've tried something new as an author. You'll also notice that I stopped publishing in 2014. That's because our computer died and I've never recovered the stories I'd been writing (and failing to back up.) Since then, I've dedicated my writing time to editing for quite a few authors. I enjoy helping others blossom as writers, but I still miss the writing. Hopefully, one of the Challenges will catch my eye and my muse will get its spark back. I look forward to more of your reviews.

You have really described Ginny's treatment and recovery (still ongoing I know) in such superb detail that noone can fail to realise the gravity of her initial injuries, the torture of her treatment and last but not least, how fortunate she is to be where she is at the moment. It was clear at one time that her mobility might never recover. And it may never completely return to normal or what she would term normal.

I laughed at Ron calling a plumber a pumbler and the boys discomfort at ginny discussing her growing body:)

The water therapy will be a great asset to the group, especially Ginny, but also for many students to come.

I loved the end of the chapter (I could almost sense things getting back to normal and on to an even keep for them, And I'm sure that will be just as important to Harry as it is to Ginny) and I look forward to seeing the direction the story goes in now.

Author's Response: Hogwarts needed an update in their sports medicine facility: Madam Pomfrey is great for the inital healing, but I've wondered what sort of follow-up therapy/rehab was available to students (like Harry after he had to regrow all those bones during second year). Therefore, it seemed to me that once Ginny and her friends finished using the PT Room, others could use it--I'm sure it would be popular with the sixth and seventh year boys because of all the weigh lifting equipment. If Ginny is sensible, and I think she is, she'll behave herself and do all the right things now that she's been released from the hospital wing. Harry has needed her back where she belongs just as much as she has needed to get back to Gryffindor Tower, so yes, things are going back to normal for them... as they should. Keep reading. There's lots of excitement yet to come. Thanks for reading and commenting. I've made sure I've re-read my own story so I remember better what you're commenting on.

welll im glad to see that it all work otu and that ginny is back int he regular areas again,...and out of the hospital wing...kutgw

Author's Response: Actually, me, too. Being stuck in the hospital wing always seems to be a low point in the characters' lives and Ginny needed to get herself out of there. She has lots of important things yet to do that she can't do in the hospital. Thanks for your review.
