Very true to her character!

Nice drabble. Ginny always appears so strong, but I can imagine that she would have doubts, not only about Harry's love for her, but also for the lives of him, her brother and her friend.

Oooh, I love that prompt, and the way you used it also. I liked the italicised thought style, and you did pretty well with first person, which is difficult for most writers.

Unfortunately, I do have to agree with sangkar about Ginny's characterisation, though at the same time, this being composed of her thoughts - where it's possible she'd feel more free to be vulnerable - gives you a little leeway there. Also, if there's a time for insecurity, being separated from your partner, especially suddenly, is it.

There might have been a few tense problems, but as I'm kind of tired, that could have been my imagination. I didn't see any other technical problems.

I'd say my favourite part was this:

'Are you even thinking of me?

'Probably not. I know you and you would only be thinking about the task Dumbledore gave you. You probably wouldn't even be contemplating a life after this mission. You always have to be the hero, don't you?'

Excellent characterisation of Harry. :)

I've always thought that the 'voices in your head' technique was a great one if done just right, and you certainly did it just right.

Your characterization of Ginny isn't my absolute favourite; somehow I think she'd be a bit less sappy. But I think we all have different headcanons of her, so this is probably more of a disagreement with my version of Ginny and yours.

You wrote this pretty well, in the end. Good job!

I think you got Ginny very right indeed! You characterised her really well. Your writing technique is great here, I just love how you bring it all together. You even manage to get Harry in character through her descriptions! Well done!

I really loved how you used the prompt, firstly, because it's such an interesting idea. And the style you used of italics and then no italics was really cool and simple and I liked it.
And I really think it captures what Ginny would have been thinking beautifully. The way she starts to doubt him seems so real and I feel this could either take place all at the same time or over time and it would be amazing either way.
My favorite line was probably: "How much do you know about me? Do you even know the colour of my eyes? My favourite song? I doubt it." because it's true... how much do we really know about the people around us? Probably very little when we think about it.
I didn't see any grammar or spelling errors and you did really well! Great job on this piece!

Wonderfully insightful. Keep writing

I really like this portrayal of Ginny. The going back and forth in her head and answering her own questions was really cool. And I do think that she would doubt Harry's feelings for her because she has that little hint of insecurity. But to me it's not a bad thing or really even a flaw. It's honest. I really like this prompt and I think it works very well for her state of mind here. I really enjoyed this. Nice job!

Oh, this is sad. In answer to your author's note, I think you've got Ginny right. Yes, she often comes across as someone who doesn't need anyone to look after her, but people tend to forget that Harry just left her worried sick as he went off Horcrux hunting. I'm glad you've recognised just how strongly she feels for him. I particularly like the line [It's silly, isn't it? That you left me, yet I'm still worried sick about you.] I couldn't find any spelling or grammar issues. This is a job well done.
