Yes, it's Ginny's POV, you guessed it correctly. The setting is, as I imagined it, maybe year 4 or 5, when Harry doesn't yet look at Ginny with THOSE eyes. It's the time of her, still somewhat childish, infatuation with Harry.
It's also the time of Harry's casual, but really close, tight friendship with Hermione, which at times was so intense, that Jo needed to deny any accusations on making the two a pair :D
I don't deny that the more I think to it, the more I feel a Harry/Hermione pairing MIGHT have been feasible, although I'm completely happy with how Jo had rounded up everything. I do have some Harmony among my writing though.
Thanks for this wonderful review!!! You really made my week!
Well, Bellatrix WAS completely deranged and crazy, but you're right, it would have been a bad cliche to depict her as such.
She, however, loved her Master, although this love was completely unrequited. When, however, everything ends for both of them, they did find solace in each other's presence.
I do hope that the movie version of this scene will turn out better, than my imagery. This WILL have to rock, otherwise the ending of the movie will suck prime time.
Thank you for your encouraging words and the fantastic review!

Poor Ginny and her un requited love . . but Harry comes around . . . eventually.
Angst . . . don't 'ya just love it?
HE!HE!HE!
Wow, that was a really good, thoughtful one-shot. The fact that Bella can actually string three coherant thoughts together in her mind was a surprise, but maybe she was just sane enough to process her situation and act accordingly. . . or maybe not. This is Bella after all and to think she's going to win is laughable. BUT, her accessment of Molly was spot on; lioness defending her cubs is right!
one boo-boo: missing here with an inch only. I think you meant missing HER, but otherwise, VERY NICE!
And I read and reviewed this BEFORE my morning coffee!
HE!HE!HE!
Actually, the whole story was about something else. Bella's decades-long, unrequited love, unanswered feelings didn't come into the picture until the last paragraph. In such situations, people TEND to think, to find a way how to save their butts and get out alive.
Don't underestimate Bella; even being a cruel and reckless murderer she was a bright student and a good leader, so on some occasions even she HAD to be able to think coherently.
I liked that line about Molly myself.
Thanksies for your kind words, I was afraid that it would all sound too forced or lame.
Honey, when she walks out on you and doesn't look back, she ain't NEVER coming back. Put on your big boy pants and deal with that fact and move on.
Two hundred and seventeen days wasted.
Actually, that's what I've done 22 years ago :) I was an idealistic teenager then :) The next day I met my wife.
That's my boy!
Like I said in my answer to the other review, this was an anwer to a drabble challenge @ SAYS, the prompt was "Water". Next day I woke with an urge to make something bigger of it, and so "Elements" was born.
Mizu marks an important changein Ron. After Hermione's deat, there's nothing for him left to live for. Except revenge.
Million thanks for your kind words.
Sweet Mary, Mother of Pearl.
How in the Bloody Hell did you manage to pack all of that into one short story?????????????
I'm stunned. . . bloody hell . . . .
AND BLOODY EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hearing so much kudos in such a short review...how did you manage to pack all of that in??? LOL
This one is a very important - albeit short - drabble for me. Effectively my first real experiment with this style of writing, and a memorial stone to everlasting and non-diminishing love.I was trying while writing the last part. Really.
Mizu, an answer to a drabble prompt at SAYS, came a day earlier and then I decided to expandi it into something, which then became "Elements", this story. I'm immensely glad you liked it. That's why I'm writing.
Thanks for your amazing review. Now I can "Ennervate" you :-D
Of course, you may, dear Peevsie, CC is always more than welcome. I have adopted the changes you'd suggested.
This small story is very dear to me. Never tried this type of storywriting before and I'm glad my efforts had paid off.
Thank you for your kind review and the CC.
Enjoy your guests!
ZoltanThanks for your kind review. Drabbles can be very powerful indeed and a prequel/sequel might not be that far away.
Have a good day,
Zoltan
