Oh my, this was fabulous and gorgeous and just amazing! I had chills at the end. For serious (and I am sure that they are not just due to the fact that we've turned off the heat in our flat to save money). I loved the way it was confusing up until the end when it all came together beautifully. It was absolutely wonderful. I could not figure out who the professor was, but I knew it had to be someone critical- it was a wonderful mystery. And the flashforwards were just as confusing- I still couldn't piece them all together, but the way it came together in the end was just incredible! I loved the way you built their relationship- and I adored Harry's test. I like that they all discovered themselves and I was sad at Ginny's actions, but I could see how it would all be life altering- and it was the perfect event to trigger ruining a bunch of lives. I was so touched by the whole story... You have a truly amazing piece here (I've never read anything that gave me chills like that!). This is an incredible contribution to the contest ( ... )

Thank you!

I am so glad that you enjoyed the fic. It is kinda disjointed, and I am really glad that you completed reading it and liked it! :)

I have to echo s_m's comments above, this story gave me chills. Even reading it again after betaing it (and you left some beta marks in, silly ;p ) I still loved how it was a mystery and you explained it all so well in the end. I've always considered Ginny to be a little manic and obsessive so to see this was perfect. I loved how it was Ron who came back to change the one thing and that finally he had Harry's best interest in his heart.

Really well done, honey, a wonderful read and a great contribution to the team!

Lol, thanks for beta-ing and catching all my mistakes! I am glad you liked the characterization of Ginny, and that you found the entire thing well explained. :)

Thank you!

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the time travel aspect of it :)

Yay! Finally a story that allows the reader to dislike Ginny for ruining Harry's life ;) Most of the other ones are all so bloody Ginny-understanding XD

I loved the time-travel of Professor Rowen and that he turned out to be Ron; that was completely unexpected. When I read "character death", when I was more or less in the middle of the story, I was pretty convinced that Draco was going to die; I'm glad it wasn't him.

Fantastic and really interesting use of the prompt, and I'm glad it had a happy ending (for people who don't like Ginny anyway ;)).

I am glad that time-travel!Ron works for you, as well as maniac!Ginny. Glad that Rowen wasn't a predictable character :)

Thank you!
