For almost three years now Harry and Ginny have continued on as if it never happened; as if this colossal thing was not weighing down on them. You can't just read a diary and save a life without consequences. Now, at age fifteen, Harry is finally seeing that he and Ginny are far more tangled than he ever realized. New Epic Length novel! Beta-ed!

Don't forget that gossip column in Witch Weekly, dishing that the Golden Boy had become rather reckless after the Last Battle.

Phantom Limb Syndrome: "The perception of sensations, including pain, in a limb that is not there. People with this condition experience feelings, as if it were still attached to their body." Feelings and exchanges between Harry and Ginny during Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, that we feel, but are not there.
