There's something perfectly British about this story (which must mean you've done it perfectly as well. It's very comforting in it's solidity... the normalcy of the sibling relationship, the hesitancy about commitment, the mental remarks about drinks and Harry's cackle.
I really liked strawberry beer (which is a crime in itself). Somehow, this line set the tone for the whole piece for me, and I just settled in from there. Ginny's reluctance, manifesting in her constant flight from place to place, really struck a chord in me, and I feel for her. At the same time, Ron's pragmatic advice, so unexpected in a man of all things, was very touching.
