The Grown-Up Driver
Harry Potter; Harry/Ginny; 2700 words
Harry and Ginny, a car and the open road.

Notes: You know how in Dawson's Creek Joey and Pacey run away from it all, on a boat, just the two of them? Yeah, this is kinda Harry and Ginny's version of that. Also, this is the second story in a row I've written that involves travel;

OMG! Road trip romance FTW!! This is so completely terrific that I don't know where to begin. And I will have to come back later to do it justice because I am already late for work.

But Jen, this is WONDERFUL. They both so deserve this after everything they've been through. (And I love the ocean - how did you know?) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Oh, I'm so so so glad you liked it, hon. I was so excited to get to write for you. This turned out a lot sappier than I intended, but it was such fun to write. ♥ ♥ ♥

This was SO GREAT!!! I really loved it! Harry really needs some time to just be and it's perfect that he chose to spend it with Ginny. This was absolutely lovely. Great job!

[pocketfullof]

Aw, thank you! He does deserve lots of happiness! :D

They talk a lot, more than they ever did before, especially when it's not a mad rush of getting to know you, but a gradual fall of learning who you really are.

Still my favorite sentence. I really do like this.

[pocketfullof]

Thank you again, hon, for the beta! ♥

(I really like that sentence too. It's always the weird ones that come out of the left field that I end up loving.)

*faints*

Guh... absolutly perfect.

[pocketfullof]

Oh, yay! Thank you. :D

oh jesus. I mean, seriously? Seriously? I love how descriptive and...alive this is. The pacing and the flow are flawless. I found myself grinning about 4.2 seconds into it and just kept on and on and on. I'm just going to make a list of some of my favorite things, ok?

Ginny's cherry red mouth.

Harry feeling young and carefree, for the first time.

the road unfurling (perfect word choice)

the moon growing bold. (guh.)

"You'd be brilliant," and then he says, "I'd be proud,"

*tears up*

It's getting to know himself all over again, maybe for the first time

*nods*

Harry discovering what music he likes. Oh, and listening to the music he thinks his mum would have liked.

doesn't even have to say that he's got no wishes left.

Oh my god, *melts*

Allowed, he says, "Yes."

Oh, Harry.

He doesn't write about how he's no longer in love with the idea of Ginny, but really truly in love with her.

*melts*

Ginny wakes up while Harry's standing in saltwater that laps at his calves, studying the horizon. Do you see that? literal

I'm just gonna hang out and bask in the happy glow I've received from this comment ALL DAY LONG. Seriously, I'm all shimmery and proud and flabbergasted by this thoughtful review. *flaps around* THANK YOU. So much!
