Still intriguing - although overfull of explaining most of what we already know. Ginny coming to Hogwarts that way felt rather contrived.

The hat personality did not feel convincing to me. In fact, most of the characters are somewhat like each other, and lack enough distinctive characteristics. Harry and Ginny's personalities/relationship is very Mary Sue so far, ie, flawless and perhaps rather bland. Just too nice all the time to be convincing.

Still, I'm curious to see how it develops.

Interesting to think of fanfiction like this still being read in 50 years...

It's interesting that the Sorting Hat referred to them as Slytherin and Hufflepuff during the sorting. Individually, I guess it was fitting.
Excellent chapter. I liked how their sharing things were explained a bit more through the series of experiments.

Another great chapter Dave!

I love that sorting scene! I can just imagine the gaping mouth of Hermione when Ginny materialized directly in the Great Hall. I bet her little brain was ready to blow!! The dialogue with the hat was hilarious. Poor Molly, the "fun" is about to begin! Strap in Molly, your daughter is going for a wild ride, with a BOY none-the-less, he, he, he!! Somebody get that woman 25mg of Xanax, stat!! It is so sad that the Weasleys are so unwilling to accept the heartfelt gifts of others simply because they are expensive. In a way it really shows ingraditude and thoughtlessness for the feelings and desires of the giver, but I understand that some people are very particular about receiving money! What Harry should have done (especially in canon) is just transfer money directly into the Weasley's vault and forbid the goblins from allowing it to be taken out!!! The "testing" scene with Dumbledork and big "M" was also well done. I eagerly look forward to reading the next chapter!!

Author's Response: Ginny was a tad surprised too, though, wasn't she? It might have been fun to explore Hermione's reaction a bit more, but it didn't work in context.
The Weasleys are complicated folks. They certainly don't intend any sort of ingratitude or thoughtlessness. They just view money differently than most people, and that affects their lives in lots of ways. They don't have much, by material measures, but they're proud to say that everything they have, they earned. It's important to them to have worked and achieved their state in life. I rather suspect that they feel guilty about accepting gifts. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
"Big M?" Ha! Can you imagine the look on her face if someone called her that? Priceless.

Although I may be seeing things a little farther ahead, but I can''t help but wonder what would happen when Ginny starts her period, Harry gets an erection, or when they first make love. Also, I wonder what it would feel like to be sitting in the common room while the other takes a crap. Personally, I think I'd freak out the first couple of times because I'm sitting there surrounded by people and wearing my clothes while I feel like I'm pooping.

Author's Response: Harry and Ginny did promise to do their utmost to separate their senses when going to the loo. Let's hope they succeeded in that. Aside from that, you've certainly asked some interesting questions, though it is a bit early for them, yet. Thanks for reading.

I realy like your long chapters. I read to escape, and these long chapters let me get lost in your story. I can stay deep in your work without any of the distractions that writing mistakes would cause.

Author's Response: If you like long chapters, the upcoming chapters should make you really happy.
Thanks for reading.

It's not a Daffydd-ill, whereupon two became one for the world to witness, but that four hands became three hands as twenty became fifteen.

They like the one that they are, but their like is by force of design, for one did intend it that way. The reality is that as they grow, they may realize they were one all along, but would they resent the old one that made the new one for taking away their own one choice?

The new one may find comfort in the duality of singularity, but the comfort is in the Eye of the Beholder. Four eyes are clearly more open than two, but the owner of the two will be more important than either of the four. Comfort indeed.

Author's Response: Isn't mathematics in base one fun?

Hey Dave! I’m back. I hate it that I’ve missed so much of your story, but I plan to catch up to leave all my promised reviews. Heck, I’ve been all over the site trying to play catch up the last couple of days. I missed all my fanfiction.

To the chapter. Hogwarts brought Ginny and not the Hat? Interesting. Well, it certainly was unexpected either way and was a good way to keep Ginny in the thick of things from the beginning. Clever of you. I believe I asked last time around (it’s been awhile) about whether Harry and Ginny would gain new powers from each other or just glean from each other. It seems that, at least in Ginny’s case, her magic has increased, so no gleaning, or are you whistling already because it’s more complicated than that. No worries. I’m used to it and really don’t mind. I think it must have been odd to have this highly unusual magical experience with someone you met that day and then have it compared to the Wedding Charm. Gulp. As for Dumbledore and McGonagall testing them, it seemed a bit odd that they didn’t take them at their word, yet it seemed a good way for you to continue to illustrate and explain certain aspects of the bond. Now, how long until the Weasley boys figure out something is going on, and will Harry still become close to Ron. Hermione also looks quite displeased, but, of course, that’s spot on for her at the beginning of the series. Quite enjoyable!


Author's Response: Welcome back, Christine! I knew you were out and about, but I did miss your lovely reviews.
It is more complicated than that, but hopefully the powers thing became clear in later chapters. If it's not, then yes, I'm whistling. Just remember that 'power' is not the same as 'powers'.
This is totally new to the esteemed professors, so they wanted to see it for themselves. And I admit that having Dumbledore see it all saved me from doing it over and over again, because everyone will beleive him when he tells them about it.
Ron and Hermione will vary slightly from canon, but I don't think the differences will bother anyone. That's not to say that everything is hunky-dory, either.

Okay, I need to say this right now...this has to be the most psychedilically cool Harry/Ginny story that I've ever read. Forget that, how about the most psychedelically cool fanfiction I've ever read? This story is absolutely mind-blowing in the conception of it. I'd ask how you came up with the concept, but you mentioned Intromit's "Harry Potter and Fate's Debt" already, so I won't. I love that story too, by the way. But this tale is on a whole other level. The bit about pumpkin-flavored roast beef was especially hilarious. I tip my hat to you. Keep writing!!!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like the basis. I've been pondering the whole 'one entity, two bodies' thing for years, and FD gave me a starting point to make it work for HP.

I just finished reading all four chapters to date. I’m interested to see where you take this. How far ahead have you planned?

Harry and Ginny seem to be taking this all fairly well and your explanation of their reactions makes reasonable sense, but I’m eager to see the first chance they have to really talk (or perhaps jointly think) in private for an extended period of time.

I have a general critique you’re free to disregard completely if you so desire.

I like the flow after that chore of a prologue; some of what you’ve written has been done before and I still enjoyed it because of the unique spin you gave us. Pumpkin flavoured beef was a good bit of incidental humour. Everyone in the supporting cast (not H/G) was in character. I originally thought the sorting hat’s name was odd, but I suppose one thousand year old talking haberdashery is in and of itself bizarre. His personality was good too.

The two most important characters concern me. At this point Harry is sufficiently flawed to do dumb things and make mistakes that will advance the plot. That is necessary and a mark of good writing. What worries me is that you’re moving towards Ginny being the missing piece for Harry and vise versa, which by itself is fine, without leaving room for the two of them to do wrong. Ginny particularly seems to be on track for perfection in all aspects of life. Remember if they always win the little fights your readers won’t be as satisfied when they win the big ones.

Overall this is a good story that I hope continues. Good work!


Author's Response: I have the story outlined all the way through seventh year.
I've always thought the hat needed a name. It's a strange old hat, so I chose a strange old name.
Ginny is quite flawless, isn't she? Everyone starts that way. There are lots of fights ahead of them, some large and some small. If they won them all, they wouldn't really be fights, would they?
Thanks for reading, and thanks especially for the thoughtful review. I look forward to meaningful criticism; it gives me reasons to think.

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I have really enjoyed this story so far. You have taken a different way of bringing the story out. In a cool way. From the way you were discribing Harry at first, I was wondering if he might end up in Slythern. But I liked that with Ginny and Harry together, they made up something more, a whole package.

Thank you,

Silverwolfsm

Author's Response: The sorting hat had some interesting comments, didn't it? Thanks for reading.
