Thank you.
I just discover there was a prior story to Bound Power. I can't say I loke it better so different the two are. But I understand better why Ginny did that terrible mistake in the state of hurt she must have been.

They are very different. Thank you for the review!
I would love to see what kind of mess Ginny gets herself into.

I have it written. I just have two other things in the queue. You will see it soon. It is called Bound Power. It is very dark. Thanks for the review!

I admit to have a sligth allergy to anything involving Hermione and Ron as a pair, but I really liked this. Very well written with a intriguing plot (not to mention much loved Ginny-bashing:-)).

Thank you very much! I appreciate the review and the stars!
I really liked the idea of the magical bond between three people. I loved that Ron knew more about it than his Muggle-born friends - this happened several times in the books and was a nice nod to his strengths. The vine appearing on their arms was really a neat way to show the bond. You took a special relationship between these three characters and made it deeper in a believable way.I have to admit, though, that it did seem rushed at points. There were several places where a sentence could have used a paragraph to flesh it out more. I think this would have helped the characterizations a bit. I wanted to know more about Harry being bisexual, about Ron and Hermione being interested in him, and about Molly and Arthur's reaction. Most importantly, it would help Ginny's character. I'm afraid even with the EWE warning she seems very out of character in her dialogue and actions. I really couldn't believe her being so upset and trying to claw Hermione's hair out. I think if you expanded on it just a bit in places - what's really bothering her? drugs? alcohol? depression? - you could make her behavior more believable as the catalyst for the Trio's bond.But again - I thought the Golden Triad was a great idea and that you created a very unique way to bring them together. :)

Thank you for the very well thought out review. I'm pretty new to this, and I agree with your points. I figure a while from now, I'm going to look back at these stories and cringe. Or re-write, which I've already done. In my mind, Ginny never got past the fact that she wasn't part of the press that the Trio got. And that Harry really wasn't the person she expected. She wanted Draco or Blaise in a Harry suit. When she saw what real feelings could do, she went after Hermione. I don't think she's too balanced right now, because as the spoiled youngest and only girl she was used to getting what she wanted, especially when it didn't involve money. I think Harry wasn't too sure about his sexuality, except for the fact that he did like both. He's quiet about stuff like that. Ron and Hermione both came to their liking of him independently, but did not want to affect the status quo, but Ron really was willing to see what would happen when his friends were a bit more open to a triad. Molly and Arthur would have had more to say, but the bond mark stopped it all. That was proof from Magic itself, and there was nothing else to say. Thanks again!

See, I thought there was more to it, since it was such a strong idea - you just need to bring it onto the page! You have obviously given a lot of thought to Ginny and you could certainly make that characterization work with a bit more background in the text. Good luck with your continued writing! I've written quite a bit myself and while I don't exactly cringe when I look at what I wrote three years ago, I do see a lot of things I might change now. Most importantly, I see how much writing fanfic has improved my writing! Enjoy! ~Gina :)
Well, they always were the Golden Trio! :)
