That's in the books. The idea of this series, being set when it is and those reading, is too change some of what actually happened in the books, including who Harry is friends with. Honestly, I've always seen Ron as more of a comic relief, along with someone who doesn't share Harry's friendship all that well and who lets his petty jealousy and insecurities get in the way. Ron will not be Harry's 'best friend' in the story after the books are done. Plus, the Harry reading has no clue who Ron is. He only knows what he reads about him, along with what Luna and Cedric say about him. And, as they would know him, they can give a clearer picture about how Ron his before Harry meets him.

Sorry if you don't like that, but that's the way I'm doing it.

As for Molly and Ginny, well, you'll see.

I think it's different . And that's what makes it great! Because most people don't light bashing . So it's unique and more interesting! Keep up the good work (:

Um, don't like bashing or don't do light bashing? I'm only asking because I'm not quite sure which one it is.

Anyway, this idea came up after reading quite a few different ones, and seeing a very common theme of just adding comments and not bothering with anything else to it, or even bothering to change some things - in fact, quite a few used it as an excuse to get Harry and Ginny together sooner, though most of those who do that are fans of the pairing.

I also got tired of people ignoring some of the character's problems, or just glossing over some other things. I mean, I might be a fan of Hermione's, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to ignore that she can be a little...bossy, too into authority figures, and not one to break rules without a really good cause.

Well not really good ones anyway

I've been reading this fic on your other website. It's one of the most unique ones I've seen. I really like it.

I love how Cedric is in this. Because he dies so early in the series, a lot of book readings gloss over him. I also like Luna's personality in this. It may be awkward for them to read OOP because Harry thinks Luna is 'looney'.

I also think it's cool that you have Harry and Hermione reading before they're even in Hogwarts. Harry is starting to lose some of his innocence from the wizarding world.

Keep it up! Can't wait to read more!

Well, I figured that he'd be a better addition to the group, as I wanted someone older than the group who has been to Hogwarts, but wasn't a Weasley. I hadn't really noticed that, but that does sound about right. In the few RtBs that I've read set around fourth year, he does seem to be glossed over.

Yay. I won't lie, there has been a few who have been confused and slightly unhappy at the fact that Luna's personality isn't as 'looney' as it is in the books. Yeah, it will be, and there will be some tension and more disappointments towards him and Hermione - as Hermione's behavior isn't nice either - by Cedric, as Luna's not exactly going to be mad or anything like that. She will have a small reaction, of course.

The only story I've read that was set before they go to school, it was all Weasleys with two or three more characters other than them, and I don't think it had Hermione reading - it had Harry enter at some point, but I don't remember Hermione being there, which was partially why I stopped reading it.

I'll be posting the second book on here within the next few days, after I finish the Book III chapter I'm working on.
