I think this is one of the best Ginny stories I have ever read. I love it.

Very sweet!

Aww!

Love Bill and Charlie

Very sweet. Loved that her brothers stepped up and helped Ginny out.

Awwwww. Nice.

Bill and Charlie are amazing! I wish I had them as older brothers! :) I love your last paragraph (and the story in general, but the last paragraph especially), and Ginny was completely in character.
Thank you!

I don't read an awful lot of first person but I think Ginny's voice was quite well done here, not too girlish with the caps lock in just the right places for emphasis. I think Michael would have punched rather than slapped Terry to be a little more masculine in general, though. Great job!

A beautifully written story bout a subject that makes me say "Oh yeah, Ginny's broom. I've always wondered about that" when actually I didn't question it when I should have. Good thinking on your part, there. It's difficult to write in the first person or the present tense, and you took on both, and did them well. I think the most wonderful thing about this story is that you kept Ginny and all of her problems three dimensional. Too often, especially on fanfiction, is the tone "I was with Michael, I love my boyfriend because he's my boyfriend. I didn't have a broom, I was sad. Everything I own is a hand-me-down." etc. But you made every part of this story so much more identifiable with all the details you created. The little anecdote of Michael and that homesick Ravenclaw. The reminder of Tom Riddle and how he affected her. The mention of the brown velvet dress. All of these built real character, and made this story so enjoyable and the emotions relatable. No situation here was black or white, which is what made it so believable. I also enjoyed your writing style, the way you showed Ginny's thoughts. In the beginning she says "...and smiled. Bravely." but later "I smiled bravely." combined with every use of "kind, but-" show not only what Ginny thinks, but what she means. Overall, really excellent job. You have a nice style and an eye for detail. (sorry this was all in a big clump, I'm on the mobile site)

This is an awesome, and very sweet, story! The theme is very interesting. It is very well-written too, I really liked the tempo. Ginny's characterisation was great as well. You might want to add a character tag to make it easier to find in the archive.

Wonderful.

WOW! This is so, what's the word... I forget the word, but I love this, and I love your writing style! It's simple and easy to read but still professional. Awesome! :)
