Very well written and the best out of the four. The quote is appropriate and wonderfully compliments the story. It shows the maturity of Ginny along with the Harry/Hermione fluff. |
Author Feedback: Thank you. |

i like how you almost have a camera lense (i'm such a lit major  )which you use to zoom in and zoom out on crucial details, almost bringing the reader into the scene and then moving in on the little details you want him/her to see... very interesting.
p.s. i hate ginny, always have... unless she's with neville |
Author Feedback: A camera lense... really? Wow I hadn't thought of it in that way. You're going to make me reread these myself.
Ginny is a bit hard to swallow as she went from being barely there to complete ubiquitiousness. |

That was an excellent one shot! I thought you did a good job of describing Ginny's part in this whole event. Great writing! |
Author Feedback: Thanks I was aiming for stark realism so I hope I captured the moments and the emotions just right. Thanks for reading and taking time to review. |

I have read all three of them. Momment, choices, and loss. funny thing that i am most touched by Loss. Usually it's a one shot of Harry and Hermione that touches me the most but reading how Ginny reflects on something that she lost and finally realizes that 'that' something is never hers in the first place, kind of sum it all up.
It seems that flowers are prettier when we admire them from distant among their natural habitat not when we pick them up and admire them in our hand. Reading Ginny's reflection, seeing Harry and Hermione from other's point of view, is confirming Harmony at their prettiest. It's something that makes their happiness real.
Great Job! I think Ron's POV is not necessary because Ginny's is deep and astounding already, but if you decide to write it then i'll be looking forward to it.
Again very touching. Bravo!! |
Author Feedback: I think that Ginny's POV is so poignant because as you say its the realization that what she wanted was not necessairly what Harry wanted. Your analogy with the flowers is a wonderful example of this fact. Harry is often at his best with Hermione at his side, removing him from that equation lessens him because he is lacking part of himself.
As to Ron's POV, I'm going to give it a shot and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it once it is posted. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. |

This was fantastic. I'm loving this series at the moment, gaining everyone's perspective. I hope you can keep it up. |
Author Feedback: I hope I can keep it up as well, there's still Ron to go...  . Thanks for reading. |

ouch. but hey, that's the reality of the whole thing. the whole thing that i didn't find in the HBP and DH.
but anyway, seems to me that whatever hurt that she's feeling stemmed from the fact that she assumed that she and harry are meant to be.
if that's the case, then i fully understand why, after five long years, she still feels the pain. it's really hard to let go of someone that you have seriously thought as yours. not to mention seeing him happy with the other woman. yeah. ouch.
again, a beautiful piece from you. |
Author Feedback: You pretty much hit the nail on the head with your observations! Ginny assumed that her meant to be was Harry's as well thus she hit with quite the rude awakening when Harry went after Hermione and finds something that Ginny herself admits she might not have been able to give him.
Thanks so much for reading this. |

I really liked this, but I couldn't get the point that you were trying to make in the last paragraph. I thought that you portrayed the pain that Ginny still feels well. I am a little concerned that she's not passed this after five years. You write very well. Great job! |
Author Feedback: In the last paragraph Ginny is reflecting on the fact that she assumed that she and Harry were going to be together forever because that is what she wanted. She never took into consideration that his feelings might be different from her own. I didn't intend it to appear that Ginny hadn't moved on, I meant it to be more like seeing the picture brought back the memory. Thanks as always for taking the time to read and review. |

This piece, along with Choices and Moments, is perhaps some of the best personification of happy and bittersweet memories that i have ever read. I actually feel really bad for Ginny here. The fact that she has to live with the fact that she let the love of her life get away and has to see how happy he is without her must be extremely painful and heartwrenching. No wonder she didn't come th Harry and Hermione's wedding. |
Author Feedback: Your words are far to kind for what I've managed to scribble down on a page but I thank you all the same. I have to say I am a bit stunned that the series is being so well received. I only hope that I don't make a mess of it with this next bit, let's keep our fingers crossed shall we. Thanks again for your kind words and for reading. |

pretty good. I liked the main story, so the diff perspective is cool. You should keep going, from other POV's of course. |
Author Feedback: Thanks I'm working on Ron's version next. |

That last bit sounds very painful.You did a wonderful job conveying Ginny's side on this. She doesn't sound bitter but still hurt. She did let him go and he came back. I don't think she has accepted that he wasn't hers to begin with  She's delusional
|
Author Feedback: LOL... I'm not sure that I'd call her delusional exactly but she is still having a bit of trouble accepting that her meant to be was not Harry's meant to be. You are quite right that she hurt and I think a little biter over losing Harry but not necessarily at he and Hermione. |

Wonderful veou pont of Ginny.
I love it now all we need is Ron to do the same we be all set.
You really put heart into it this story.
Excellent,cool,real top stuff.
I hope to read the next story that you come up with.
 I am so looking forword to the next story.
But till then have a real, real,real Good week and weekend.

I'd have liked to know more about what Harry and Hermione were thinking, but since it's told from Ginny's perspective I suppose that wasn't really possible. Not unless Harry came back and tried to make his own explanations and apologies. The bittersweetness of this kind of made me feel bad for Ginny. I don't like her, but I still found myself hoping that 5 years later, she's not still pining for what she wished could have been. I hope she's moved on.
Thanks for posting this.

Author Feedback: If you'd like to see Hermione's and Harry's version check out Moments (HR) and Choices (H) as they relae the same scene but told from their perspectives. A view of Ron's thoughts will be posted soon.
As for Ginny she is not pining per se but there are moments,like seeing the family photo, when she relives the scene again. I suppose she is a bit bitter about it but not enough to waste away over it. |

I really like it, I think you made Ginny look very self contained. Are you going to do Ron\'s POV? |
Author Feedback: Thank you. Ron's POV will be coming up next. |
| |
Can't help but feel sorry for Ron and Ginny in these fics, even if they're two of my least favorite characters. But I can't feel too bad since Harry and Hermione are together.  |
Author Feedback: It is kind of sad when the love of your life tells you they're in love with someone else or goes chasing after another leaving you gobsmacked in the middle of the floor. Hopefully though Ron's POV will be a bit less woe is me. |
