I do like this story, but I have to be honest, I think you can drop the rating down to PG-13, or R. There's only one chapter so far that borders on NC-17. So, my question is: Is the rating for LATER chapters?
Other than that little peeve, I have to say that you have a well thought out plot, and you develop the canon characters well. I think you have Ginny's character pegged very concisely. I feel that Hermione would have already discovered what was going on, but I do think she would be fine with it once the shock of the bond was passed. I do like that you did not establish a bond with her.
Your development of the relationship between Ron and Hermione is sweet, and believable. This Ron is a bit more mature than he was in canon, but that is a good thing! Keep it up.
I know as a fanfic writer myself, I don't want to rush things, but I have to advise that Harry has had enough time to mull over the bonds. I think it may be time for him to act on it, because there are only so many times he can study the ribbons and it stay fresh.
I do like the scenes where he establishes the wards. That part is nicely done.
Sorry for giving such a long review, but I haven't reviewed any other chapters that I can think of...
So, til next time.

Sage - Thank you for such a long review. I like long review as it allows me to answer what you want me to and also see what people are thinking.
The rating does seem a little large at the moment (yet the reviews I got after chapter 3 justify it slightly) but to answer the question yes it gets "Steamier" later on and considering the age of some of the charecters/participants I thought NC-17 would be prudent. Yes very large chunks are not NC-17 but I wanted to be safe.
As for Harry and development it will start up very soon but he has one final hurdle yet as he still doesn't know the "full" extent of what the bonds mean.
For the rest of charecters thanks for your comments being only slightly more adult I think is the right thing to do with them.

I was so pleased to find an update, not that you are an slouch or anything, but I have already expressed my dislike of incomplete fic. Yet still, here I am, hating you for not having the entire thing written and posted already. I cant decide if its better that we get to read it as you post it, or wait a year and a half for a complete story (like JKR).
This chapter seemed a bit short to me, probably for all the reasons I already stated. But the character work, and the "magical theory" stuff is great. I really like the way he placed the wards at the end. No real concious thought, no pre-defined spell, just Harry using his magic. I am hoping that this is leading to him being able to perform wandless magic at an advanced level. Wandless magic would also seem to take less concentration to see since it doesnt have to be funneled through his wand.
Anyway, Keep em coming, I am sorely tempted to re-read the entire thing up to this point just to keep busy until the next update. In FACT, thats just what I will do.
Can't wait. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU.

GML- thank you for your two review. I know I've slowed down a bit but I am going as quick as I can. But I know that's no help to you as the reader, I've spend many a day wishing for an Author to update.
There is more I could post and reading your reviews I'm sorley tempted too yet it's my safety blanket in-case I make mistakes.
For you observations Harry's magic is deveolping nicely that's all I can really say without giving too much away. A lot has already been developed and soon you will see some of the fruits of that work.
Lastly if you or anyone else wants more detail I will always explain in an email (see my profile for address) or if anyone wants to help me and my beta the same applies.
Sorry to keep you waiting for more.

Oh, also on a side note. I agree about the ribbons and bonds. Harry should stumble into a realization soon about Ginny and Gabrielle at the very least. Gabrielle will be much more ..useful.. when she is properly "recharged". I do not want to seem like I am hurrying the story along, it is YOUR story after all, so if you have the timeline very well thought out already (which is very apparent by the perfect plot so far) then I will just have to wait ...

Good chapter. When is Gabby going to get really close to Harry and not be in the background so much?
