This one shot is wonderful. I love Ginny/Neville friendship fabrics.

That last line... it was pure gold. Ultimately poetic, and being the Unicorns and Rainbows girl I am, I love it.

A very touching story, excellently written, as always.
I know it's not very fitting, but I'd love to read more teenage drinking stories from you.

Poor Ginny, I loved hearing her thoughts. Good call too on long she resisted a Horcrux and that she did fight.

Her description made me think of Doctor Who.

Harry did pick Ron to adventure with, true, but Ginny was his heart, and not just a damsel, (aka Cho, Harry learned from that mistake)

So beautiful. Gorgeous character exploration.

Don't mind me, just crying over here. Thank you for this. Thank you for writing all the things I love about Ginny. Her stubbornness, her drive, her passion. She and Neville were just wonderful in this.

Wonderful, honest, selfless Neville is always stronger and wiser than one might think. And even rock hard warriors like Ginny need some help sometimes. Help that doesn't come from the bottom of a bottle but from the bottom of a heart. (sorry that's so cheesy but I couldn't resist :))

Yay, neville/ginny friendship! :D poor old ginny. I liked your exploration of the dynamics of harry and ginny's love in it's vaguely immature form in this story, and ginny's issues with it. Well done.

Wonderful prequel to A Growing Up. I loved Ginny's confrontation at the beginning, and I loved her conversation with Neville. I could just feel her frustration pouring out! Congratulations on another excellent fic.

I really liked this! You portrayed Ginny and Neville perfectly.

So, I know I've read this (absolutely great) story before, I think it might have been on another site. Is that possible? Anyway, in case I didn't review then (shame on me!), I just wanted to let you know how much I like this story. And its sequel.

All right... Are ALL your stories so great? Because if they are: Wow! Just that!

I feel for Ginny and I think Neville is very wise to realize that she will have to talk with Harry about what she just talked with him. Most seventeen year olds are not that wise. Most seventeen year olds don't fight in a war either, of course, but while that would make you grow up to a certain extent and make you battle hardened and give you nightmares and do a lot of other things... It does not necessarily make you WISE! So, this is just a special little quality Neville would have grown in anyway, I guess. And i am, honestly, not surprised there.

... I really hope though, that Ginny was not lying and really does not drink more alcohol. I would not be surprised if she did, honestly, with what is going on, but it is not exactly the most healthy coping mechanism.

This is really well done.

This is was perfect. Thank you for the amazing read.

I love the way you portray the characters in this fic. In all your fics. You have a way of finding the side of them Rowling doesn't normally show, and bringing it out into the open. whenever i think back in the books i always remember your stories as if they were actually part of the book itself. Which in my mind they are(: Keep writing your fiction, for it truly is magnificent
