*Sigh*
I have always been a devoted Harry/Luna shipper. So, it breaks my heart how much I adore this piece. It is such a burden, begging to like a contradictory ship *places hand on forehead and sighs dramatically*
Okay, I'm done being ridiculous.
This was beautiful. Truly beautiful.
I love how you broke up the sections, explained their relationship and made Ginny look like more than then somewhat shallow, lifeless character she appeared to be [at least to me]
amazing work.

I really, really liked this. It was poetic and beautiful, and you did an excellent job. I'm not quite sure where you came up with it, but I loved it, great job. I'm not sure if I'm going to be reviewing everyone of our competitors, but this definitely deserves a review!

I have to tell you that I don't usually read or enjoy Harry/Ginny, but for once, for some weird reason I actually beamed up when I saw the pairing. :D Ha ha. I loved the title, I loved the whole concept of writing Ginny as this. I see Ginny as a very strong character, and you did justice to that in the sometimes underlying and sometimes straight out form of writing. I also enjoy reading second person stories, and had fun with this one too! :D
Overall, you did a great job. :)

As much as I will never like Harry/Ginny, I like this. I like the line "The world, you learn, is riddled with broken-hearted people like you." How true is that? I like the way it goes through all the things that separate them. I also like the fact that Ginny acknowledges that despite Riddle making her *feel* like a stupid little girl, she's not. That's lovely that she can see past that and see how strong she is for surviving that whole year, when she was essentially being possessed by Voldemort. Also, the second-person point of view works really well for this, and the ending ties it all up nicely. :)

First of all, I love how you used roman numerals here.
Second of all, that quote at the beginning, (SHERLOCK IS AWESOME) matches with this so perfectly.
Third of all, THE TITLE. OMG. THE BOY WHO LIVED AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED. OMG.
Fourth of all, the lines in this. Wow. [Hearts are fragile things. Yours has always been more fragile than most. It's easily pierced, easily shattered, and easily broken.]
Fifth of all, I love the second person POV! :)
Sixth of all, OMG GREAT JOB THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING AHHHHHHHHH HINNY FTW

I absolutely love this oneshot, even if I'm not really much of a fan of Ginny... I was really quite impressed with the way you develop her character, throughout the years, in this short little one-shot, it actually increased my respect for her character by quite lot. You really have a way with words, which sounded very poetic at some parts too, but the thing that impressed me the most is the message that this oneshot is trying to show at us readers at the very end. I can definitely agree , by a 100%, that there's no such thing as a perfect harmony in life... life does have its obstacles too, you just have to try and do the best that you can with it. The message can go more deeper than that, but I would stop here. This is currently my favorite oneshot that I have read from you so far.

This was so fantastically eloquent. You have a way with words that really just make the story flow brilliantly, you know? Anyway, I loved the fact that this was in second person! Though I'm not really a die-hard shipper of Hinny, but I've always admired those who could pull it off successfully, and you're one of them! [The one thing you know is that if Harry is the Boy Who Lived, then you are the Girl Who Loved, and together you will live and love like no one has before.] This just blew my mind. It's so perfect and ugh. Right in the feels. I think you've just brightened up my day with this one-shot!

Oh my gosh, This was a piece of art. Truly. It was deep and complex and really explored Ginny like nothing else and the use of the second person POV was brilliant. All your descriptions were so beautiful, I can't isolate one because they are all so poetic. You inspire me to write a companion freeverse to this :D
The little vignette at the end is the BEST. Very poignant, very moving, very APT! The Girl Who Loved :D How beautiful :D You are so talented, veryyy well done! :D

Ooh, I really liked this. Ginny's one of my favourite characters, and I think you did her some justice. I do think Ginny went through a lot more than we think after CoS, so I liked this little insight to her character. You certainly made me feel for Ginny, because having only one friend (the diary) and then finding out she was only being used must've been terrible, and the guilt that could've possibly followed her around for it must've been horrid (on that note, I think it would have been great if you went into that a little more, but alas.) I liked how you described Ginny as the "Girl Who Loved" even though I don't think Harry completely centered her world like this after she matured a little. Either way, I thought your writing was rather nice, and the way you formatted this made for a great read. It had sort of "poetic" feel to it, which was lovely. Overall, well done.

Nice story! Especially as it's about a favourite pairing of mine. I liked the way that you listed and explained the things that Ginny felt would keep her and Harry apart.
In the third paragraph, I think that starstruck is one word, not two.
When you wrote 'with his pointless ideas and pointless war', I think this might work better in another place, after you talk about the diary and the Tri-Wizard.
Good job on how you switched from 2nd POV to third POV. It can interrupt the flow of a story, but you've done it well.

I really liked your portrayal of Ginny here. I like how you showed her through the years, and I especially love in the section after (his brave, even bigger heart), how you talk about Ginny standing up to the Carrows and refusing to let them have their way. It's kind of Ginny's own war that she was fighting while Harry and co. were gone, and I feel like some authors don't talk about that as much in HarryGinny fics, focusing way more on Harry's struggles during DH. SPaG was good, just a couple things - there's an unneeded hyphen before 'far longer than many adults could have done', and 'Tri-Wizard' should actually be 'Triwizard'. I really like how you split this up, also, into the different sections, and how each one, in its own way, was an obstacle - a villain - in Harry and Ginny's relationship. I love your use of the Sherlock quote, as well. Ginny as 'the Girl Who Loved' is very fitting, also; nice work!
