  Ginny's love for Harry is nothing but a shallow manifestation of Hero worship. This becomes evident when she mentions that she knew that Harry would go after Voldemort and that's the reason why she loved him. No bigger example of a shallow infatuation than this.

  While your interpretation is one way to consider it, it's not the only one. I think canon has made it pretty clear that during the first 4 books or so she did have that angle on Harry, but the way I read the ending of Bk6 showed it was not the case by then. I really don't think the review forum is the best place for this conversation. Feel free to drop me a note via my gmail account if you want to explore the issue -- "pitmosh" is my userid there. Or if there's some better place for it here, let me know -- I've figured out just enough on FicWad to post stories somewhat. Thanks for leaving feedback.

  We all know that Rowling is either going to make harry either die before they make up or they are going to make up and live happily ever.
  
  yuk.
  
  Even though we all know that, we prefer our fantasies to the truth.
  
  Because there is so many Harry/Ginny stories, that if one reads enough, one becomes tired of that pairing and looks for another.
  
  That is why there is so many other pairings.
  
  If you ever get tired of H/G then go to DarkLordPotter . Almost 99% of the stories are not H/G.

  Frankly, you're coming across as a complete idiot.
  
  Did you fail to notice that this story is marked "Completed" ? It's a one-shot.
  
  You think I lack knowledge that there are other pairings? You've certainly implied it. Or you're implying that because someone else once wrote a Harry-GiantSquid paired story, no one else can do anything "new" and worth reading with that pairing? And I should care that some other web site has very little H/G pairing because ... why exactly? There are plenty of sites dedicated exclusively to H/G, H/Hr, H/Voldie, H/Draco, H/Foo.
  
  As for Dark Lord Potter. I went over and took a short glance at it. I even found that someone pointed to my main story, Echoes of Power, and then it was promptly flamed for having martial arts by people that clearly have never studied it, never practiced it, and spend all their free time playing games or watching cartoons (sorry, anime or manga) that use it. Surely that makes them experts. It gets even better. Most of the people flaming it admit that they (a) didn't bother to read it, and (b) couldn't be bothered to read it, but that's okay because (c) they wanted to vent their mindless drivel anyway.
  
  The overwhelming impression of that web site is a bunch of prepubescent males with a lack of life experience.
  
  Thanks, but no thanks.
  
  You're welcome to leave a constructive review for one of my stories if you like.

  I rather enjoyed the structure of the story, interweaving the investigation and the flashbacks to tell a more complex and in-depth story than either portion would tell separately. IMHO, you do better by Ginny in this story than JKR did by her.

  Now, lets play clue. Ginny might still have a little bit of darkness in her. So Ginny kills him and makes Harry think she is protecting him. Or Draco goes to Ginny for Help as she was early and Harry is with loud mouth Ron. Or Colonel Mustard did it in the ...
