OK, I admit that I began to read this because the title sounded intriguing. Then I read the warnings and thought, "oh my!" Sufference, in this particular period of my life, is something I try to avoid at any cost. But then I went on reading and I found a completely different tale. Nobody ever thinks that Ginny too had to suffer a lot while waiting for Harry to come back. Your story gave me new interesting ideas and considerations to ponder, beside being an enjoyable bittersweet reading. I'm sorry for my poor English, I would like to express my thoughts in a much more briliant way, but alas, you'll have to accept them the way they are, that is: I like your story very much. Thank you for sharing.PS: Just a small note, and please forgive my cheekiness, given that I am Italian, but I think there is a small mistake. It says "He kissed him. " I suppose it should be "He kissed her."

Thank you for this little piece. I always thought JKR took the easy road with Ginny. What the girl went through in Chamber of Secrets leaves many scars, scars which JKR never addressed. Sure, yeah, yeah, the books are about Harry, but still. (Rant over.)

This is so beautiful--it so beautifuuly captures the essence of their love and relationship--both were possessed, abused by Voldemort, both survived--this is a bond that no one else could ever stand the depth and darkness of... Lovely, lovely work, articcat621! I love how you capture such profound moments and emotions between characters!

Well done.
