I have to say I love the way you write Ginny, I've never read a Ginny like yours and she's such a rounded, well defined person instead of this chick who fancies the hero. The first fic was just too sad and made me need fluff desperately (dont get me wrong, it was beautiful and amazingly well written - though that's a given when its by you ^^ - and the fact that you just dont know if Harry died thinking he was saving Draco who was already dead... *tear*)
I definitely preferred the second one... there was a semblance of fluff XD - Ginny was again human, Hermione wasnt just a know-it-all she actually used it, Ron was so huggable in his attempts to help and Draco and Harry cuddle ^^ - amidst screams and fear... not perfect but still... they cuddle ^^ (*has totally missed the point* ^^) I love the fact that you had Colin so perfectly in character, not least because he didnt pay attention to Harry when he was watching Harry... if that makes any sense ^^
