To those other reviewers who reacted badly to Harry hitting Ginny, I say good for Harry. Far too often, physical violence against men by women is brushed off, ignored, and made light of. Domestic violence PSMs always focus on men hitting women, ignoring the fact that half the domestic violence in this country is committed BY WOMEN.

So again, good for Harry. If Ginny wants to be physical and hit guys who upset her, she needs to be aware that some guys are going to be hitting back. Harry was right to stand up and not be abused.

aww, I really love the way that you've got bith Ginny and Harry acting more grown up already - it makes the story better

Well to tell you the truth the hit didn't bother me I mean shit happens and you explained it like his hand came up because she hit him so hard not him trying to hit her I thought. I don't know the Ginny Weasley you show around Harry I just can't see getting a boy friend no matter how pretty she might be. I don't know you need an early break up there or slowly change your Ginny I think. I don't know about the fight either I think you should of actually had them seperate for awhile I mean jesus have Harry grow a pair. I mean crap you have him just rolling over. The Harry you have right now should die in the Grave yard no excuses I don't know I guess your OoC on them in a way the just bugs me something fierce which is to bad since you do have a good storyline.

While the last chapter was admittedly shocking, I do believe it fit with the story and characters you're trying to build here. These aren't the usual Ginny and Harry most are familiar with. They are something different and their character development is very interesting. I'm really enjoying this story and I look forward to the next chapter. I can see that while they are more mature than their comrades in some areas, in a romantic relationship they haven't figured out their own feelings yet. This is more evident in Harry than Ginny since we've seen his point of view more in the last few chapters. Definitely looking forward to where you take these two.

I greatly enjoyed that an I think that if people decided to stop reading because the going got a little rough, then it's their loss. When Ginny was talking about trusting Michael, i couldn't WAIT for when Harry can get in a little 'i told you so' moment when they break up and he turns out to be a giant idiot!!! Keep writing please : )

p.s. i think the reason people may have over reacted to Harry hitting Ginny was because of how morally wrong that would be for Harry, and how bad he would feel.

I normally have a strict policy of never leaving more than one review on any given chapter, but I think I need to make an exception here to clarify something. I can only speak for myself, of course, but I want you to know that I don't hate you or your story, and I doubt any of the other reviewers do either. The thing that bothered me wasn't Ginny's behavior, which (sadly enough) isn't a stretch for a thirteen-year-old girl (or boy, for that matter). What really got to me, and to others as well I believe, is that the chapter portrays what she did as completely fine, while all the blame was laid on Harry. Ginny's mistakes were the mistakes of youth, but so were Harry's (reluctance to admit his feelings and lashing out with a thoughtless comment). If we're expected to excuse Ginny's actions because of her age, then oughtn't we extend Harry the same courtesy? Basically, I'd have been okay with it (more or less) if everybody hadn't sided with Ginny 100%. I don't think our reactions as reviewers are a slam against you as a writer, or even against the plot of your story (although, again, I can only speak for myself). For me, it was more the "message," if you want to call it that, that came across; namely, that Ginny's bad behavior was acceptable.

I'm not going to quit reading your story or any garbage like that; I've enjoyed it so far, and I plan to keep following it. Ginny's actions were a letdown, and her refusal to accept responsibility and realize that they were wrong was even more of one. But the bigger issue was that it wasn't portrayed as a stupid mistake made by a young, inexperienced girl; it was portrayed as acceptable and right. Anyway, I hope these ramblings were able to help clarify my earlier ramblings. Take care, keep writing, and I promise I'll wait for the next chapter before I say anything else. ;-)

I've been reading and reviewing this story at SU and decided to take a look over here. Boy you sure have unhappy readers at siye. I personally love this story. I get why you're writing Ginny and Harry the way you are and if people can't see that then oh well. Given all the emotional baggage of both characters. Ginny is not a saint. She is a feisty girl who's personality has been shaped by being the youngest of 7 and being the only girl. And on top of that add her possesion by Voldermort, which by the way, the repercussions of it are never discussed in the book. We never know what kind of effect it had on her. Lastly she is 13 years-old. Who hasn't done stupid things when they were that age! I'm proud to say I made many stupid mistakes and I had a pretty normal life compared to these two charaters. And about Harry hitting Ginny....I've seen it, my sister once got in a fist fight with a guy when she was 12 and she kicked the guy's but! She reminds me a lot of Ginny!

So what I'm trying to say is cheer up, you have readers that understand the motivation behind your writing and trully enjoy it for what it is! You're just expressing yourself and doing one heck of a job!

Author's Response: It does seem like readers are more unhappy over here doesn't it! I wonder what the difference is? Thank you so much for the review -- it made me feel loads better. I was thinking, "am I the only one who sees it this way?" until I read your review. You get it exactly! Thanks for reading! I hope you continue to enjoy it!

I stand by my last review. Great writing style, and I truly like how the main characters interact with each other (normally the dialogue is brilliant) but what are we, 12 years old? That fight was caused by the actions (or non-actions) of 2 people, not just one. Ginny was completely horrible to Harry and should have apologized for her behavior, case in point - what if the situation was reversed, and Harry took up with Cho Chang half way through the evening and left Ginny sitting on the side lines for the rest of the night? AND THEN snogged her on the dance floor in front of Ginny and the entire school, which would be an entirely humiliating experience for anyone. According to you, that evidently would have been just fine. And it really isn't, even if they are "just friends".

Author's Response: You raise some good points here. I don't know how I would have handled it had Harry been the one who had gone off with another girl. I'd like to think I would have handled it the same way. But since Harry has realized his feelings first -- without knowing what Ginny feels at this point -- his actions were fueled by jealousy...which don't you think could be just the least bit unfair to Ginny since she doesn't know he is harboring these feelings? C'mon give me an inch here!! :) LOL Thanks for the review!

Hum..... Interesting to read the reviews that you’re gathering here, I’ve always thought that the sign of a good fic is the number of angry and opposing views and rants. Given that you have a real winner here!

Now, yes, Harry did Ginny dirt by asking her “as a last resort” and yes, that is exactly what he did…Ginny then, agreed to go and then goes off into the night with another boy – well, yes Harry said there were just friends and Ginny inside I think was wanting more. And then they fist fight about it, well heck, what are they, little kids of 13 and 14? oh- yea - they are……..

And, in addition, both are damaged…I thought that you have the better measure of how Ginny would react after her first year – angry, self-centered, afraid of letting herself out there - spot on if I say so. So many fics (JK included) have her just bouncing back to this uber-cute feisty wonder girl – not likely after being possessed for a year. And Harry – the poster child of damaged goods and a total screwed up at feelings from his years of imprisonment at the Dursleys.

My stomach dropped out at Conner being introduced – I hoped that this would be a healing fic and I had hoped that you might skip the whole Dean thing but see that you won’t – more the pity there.

I’ll be reading, you are a talented writer – don’t take the negative feedback too hard – as I said, this emotional backlash from your readers is a good thing and you know, I bet those that claim they are walking away really won’t – they just think it looks good in print!!!!


Author's Response: Thanks for the encouragement -- I admit to being a bit discouraged but your review made me feel better! I appreciate that people disagree with me, that's fine, but I don't understand people not being able to take some angst! They can't all be fluffy fics! (Although this one will have plenty of fluff, believe me!) This will be a healing fic -- it will just take a while to get there. After all, all they "Need" is each other! :) Thanks for reading!!

well my expectations were low going into this chpter & your an pretty much sealed ias i relly dont like the direction your taking this into & i probably would have avoid this fic if & had know thtat in advance i just didnt think you would exelarte thing so fast.

So harry takes all the blame what surprise so ginny treats him like s~~ at the ball then hits him first but evryone takes haer side ok ron is to bad as it his sister but i expected more lfrome hermione at least i thought she would try to meet them half way so harry does all the grovalling but ginng slightly volant strek out her tremant of harr if if they were only frend thta still a pretty poor showing on her part goes completly unpunished oh well i wont stop reding mainly becaues i hate to sart i fic & not finsih it but now rather than look out for it it will be one i read if non of my other fics iam reding has been updated which is a shame because you have a lot of talant it justthis particuller fi i dont like but on the bright side a least should have a good showing in nex months dsta for agnst As i side note i think you shuould put a stronger warning at the sart of this fic just to be safe but thats only my opion.
