Hey, great! I had to pop on to type this review and I find there's another chapter there! (Normally I only look for new chapters on a Friday so I can print them out for the weekend). I couldn't detect any artifice in Ginny whatsoever when she talked to Harry about Dean, no attempt at being disingenuous, so they're seriously 'just friends' at this point in your story. Good show. Wondering if they're going to come together slowly or with a big event/crisis/climax/cusp. Seems like Harry has got tickets on himself, a bit, doesn't it? Giving Ginny one mirror while he keeps the other? I thought he was going to give her *both*, so she could give one to Dean. Instead he gives her one so she can have an express route to talk to ... him! Only half-points for that one, Harry. Thanks for the chapter! Brad

Author's Response: I'm glad you like they're just friends; it can be a little frustrating at this point, but things should be getting along pretty soon. But, hey, do you really think Harry could entirely give up something that once belonged to his father? He knew it belonged between friends and he had to be one of them, though I can see where you'd think it was a tad bit selfish. Honestly? Harry can be a tad bit selfish, though I doubt anyone's surprised by that.

OMG I Love this story!! Keep updating! Harry and Ginny really should get together . . .I like your story, no rushing, just harry and ginny :)

Author's Response: ...and Dean. Don't worry, it'll be H/G in the end. They just have some roadblocks along the way. Thanks for the review!

I love it! You have a great sense of humor and a lovely ease of expressing it. Excellent on the Harry's Sleeping attire pool! Lovely work, I will be waiting for more.

Author's Response: The funny part - to me - is that Harry was in his skivvies all throughout their conversation and didn't realize it until she was already back in her room. Funny how we get comfortable in our relationships without meaning to, eh?

This is a wonderful story I love how they are such good friends it will make their relationship stroonger in the long run. PLEASE UPDATE SOON

Author's Response: The update's here! (evil laughter) And so is Dean.

Oh my goodness, that was wonderful! Love the mirrors - so sweet! And Ginny and the pool! What a hoot! Fantastic chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you! (And between you and me, the mirrors are vital to the plot. Keep it on the down low, okay?)

I love this story, it's so in character... I can see it happening in the books. One of the reasons I love it is that it's not rushed at all, that's why it's so believable. Best story I've seen in a long time. Please update soon!

Author's Response: Now you're just trying to make me blush. :)

What I like most in this fic is that Harry and Ginny are gradually falling in love. It's like, step-by-step. It's funny too! Nice ending by the way.

Author's Response: I always struggle with the endings to chapters and frequently go with the humor - I'm glad you liked it.

I'm just a lurker here at SIYE and I've never reviewed a story, but I felt yours was an exception for a few main reasons: 1. Your presentation of how Harry deals with grief is so much better and canon than just about every fic I've read--none of that horrid angst about killing himself, starving himself, etc. Just slightly withdrawn, and a few angst moments that slip out every once in a while. 2. Your building up to a far more realistic relationship between Ginny and Harry. This is great; keep up the good work. The only thing negative I have to say is very very small--just keep an eye out for a few typos that are almost inconsequential, but still there. Thanks so much for writing this :)

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review. I'm glad that you like I'm taking it really slowly; I'd like for a kiss to happen or something, but it's just not time, you know?

Wow! I love the story. It's really well written and very interesting. I love the way you have portrayed Ron and Ginny's relationship. I hope you update soon. ~cheers!

Author's Response: The update is here! Thanks!

Hmmm... very interesting. Didn't know Harry got on well with cats, after his experience with Mrs. Figgs. And I gather that Ginny would be a tad more carefulk than Harry was about what is exposed to view from the companion mirror at night.... :-) [I did note one or two typos, but I don't know that there was all that much detraction from the story as a result of them.]

Author's Response: Thanks for the CC. I'm usually the typo queen, so I'm glad there were only a few - though I will edit more carefully from now on. As for the cat, Harry liked her for what she stood for: his growing friendship with Ginny.

That was so funny! Thank you! I really liked the part about the bet. I can just picture Ginny doing something like that. I'm wondering how long it will take Harry to realize he really cares for Ginny. I also wonder why he is so set against telling her about the prophecy. Is he trying to protect her because he likes the fact she thinks of him as just Harry? Please update soon.

Author's Response: Harry's intentions in regard to not telling Ginny will be revealed at a later time (though I'm sure you can toss back and forth a few ideas and come up with the right one). I can say this much: in this case, she's not the one who's being protected. Thanks for the review!

There's really a LOT I wish to say about the fantastic pacing and characterisation found in this story, and what I enjoyed most of all was the irrepresible and hilarious Ginny/Ron relationship that I wished J.K Rowling wrote into her books. You've managed to balance what might become a cliched plot and boring summer written in the same boring manner with the humour and the slow unraveling of the prophecy - well, we do know that Harry will crack somewhat. At least, the question of when and how Harry cracks with the prophecy on his shoulders is one all writers attempt to cover before Rowling reveals her own way, but you've done it in a darn fine way. And thank goodness this is eventually H/G! The introduction of Dean means we're only warming up to more angst to come at least? I can't wait for the next update, and counting the chapters until we get H/G together.

Author's Response: Wow - you know how to flatter someone, don't you? :) Dean has finally made his first appearance in chapter six - I'm determined to not make him the bad guy, it just won't work that way for him. As for Ron, he's still going to be around, but not as central as he was in the first five chapters.

Lol I'm so tired that I was just laughing like crazy at the end. I love the relationship that Ginny and Harry have, I loved having a close guy friend and I'm sad that we don't talk anymore. Did you ever say about how long it would take before they get together or do you not even really know yet? Just curious. Hope that it won't be another 2 weeks for the next chap, but hey, life gets in the way so what are ya gonna do? Ok I better get to bed cz I have my History final 2morrow. Love and Lucky Charms.

Author's Response: I love-love-love my guy friends, so it was fun to create that relationship between Harry and Ginny. It's going to be a while before they get together, however, seeing as Ginny's dating someone else and Harry's as oblivious as ever.
