this is the part that makes me sad. the part where you find out sweet old dead neville, isn't actually sweet or dead.

the best and worst thing about this story is you can't just read one chapter, when you get to the end you have to keep reading. that's really amazing, not everybody holds attention to the end like that.

A fantastic story. Every time I got a minute I would read this (even if I was at work-don't tell my boss). I loved the characterization of Draco and Ginny and their interaction. The suspense and romance it was all great. Even though I'm a 'fluffy' type of girl, I am always happy if it ends with them together;especially in each other's arms.

When writing a review for a chapter in this story, I come to realise that within the chapter, almost every chapter, there is a total mood shift. By that, I mean how Draco and Ginny are getting along and everything's going well and then by the end they're at each other's throats, with little chance that either can understand each other's point of view. I don't know how you manage it and make it all seem plausible, but you do. It's fun to read, that's for sure.

I was going to comment on Ginny's devious streak - making Draco believe she's angry at her to hear him confess his feelings for her. The Twins' mischievousness has definitely rubbed off on Ginny.
I like how realistic the argument in this chapter between Draco and Ginny is. The misunderstandings and frustrations due to them are palpable and it's totally understandable how Draco is reluctant to believe Vincent is aiming to destroy the unicorns and also why Ginny believes Draco is being uncomprehendingly stubborn in this regard. 'Tis great, engaging writing.

Wow, what a powerful scene. I'm talking about the kiss, rather than the monumentous strength that caused the sanctuary to be restored. ;D
I felt swept away with the mingling of desire and power and need that rose so swiftly between them. It was truly magical to read. :)

“That’s because you haven’t seen her at all,”
What a wonderful line! I think it's my favourite, so far. It sums up Draco's growing respect and admiration for Ginny and hints at his growing feelings for her. Lovely.

I like how Ginny can sense dark magic; it brings a whole new dimension to the story and her character, adding another reason why she is so determined to ban Dark Magic across Europe.

"He left a Ginny Weasley sitting alone at the table, stunned into silence." It's nice to see Draco being able to make an irate Ginny speechless; that's usually an impossible feat. :)

Ah, I remember reading this story not too long ago, but I came across it randomly and was hooked once again. It's probably due to the fact that I know what's going to happen and I'm taking some enjoyment out of the fact that neither Ginny nor Draco has any idea of how this Act will change their lives forever. *goes off to read the next chapter.*

I loved it! It was amazing, and I think the ending was perfect. Kinda a bit early to be declaring everlasting love, given they've only really been together for what, a month or so? But yes, absolutely perfect, minus the teeny tiny gramatical errors, but who cares? IT WAS AMAZING!!

That was amazing! I love the "spark" they have together, and I wonder where you got that idea... it's brilliant! Wonderful job with the ever altering plot twists and growing tensions. All in all, you have written a great read that will remain one of my favorites!

For all your whinnying about your inability to write fluff and endings, I think you did an admirable job of both. This story was definitely interesting. It was strange because the feeling of it, the kind of stuff you dealt with was, kind of, what I've read a million times before. But then your way of pulling it off made it, without a doubt, original. And the unicorns was certainly an individual idea.

By the way, I loved Darien and Vincent. It's always hard to create believable, interesting original characters, and you did a wonderful job. I especially liked the way I could feel Darien's air how he came in a the tone of the room immediately darkened. You were consistent with that and it made him, with only half the reader’s conscious mind noticing, a much more frightening demeanor and made his twist less anticipated.

I’m interested to see your future stories. Keep writing, and good luck

I think the last two "should"'s here are actually meant to be "shouldn't". I don't know, but right now it doesn't make much sense.

"I should have stayed behind. I should have made myself part of it. The same way Neville should have," Ginny said softly, before looking away again. Harry exited her bedroom in silence.

Draco sure did anger me to the 9th dregree of hell. How could he use her papers how ... what an ass and yet I still love him in this story. :(

Author's Response: Exactly! He is still a bit on the treacherous side, in that he'll do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, especially when the temperamental little Ginny essentially delcares war on him/his goals when he really didn't do *that much* wrong. But, he kind of redeems himself, not in that he realizes that he was wrong, but that he realizes what he lost due to his treacherous ways... but then Ginny bent a little, and he bent a little, and voila! Happily ever after!

I LOVE THIS STORY IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!
Name: Ada Achlys reviewed The Silence of Victory and Defeat on Jan 02, 2006 01:00 pm
I really enjoyed this story.  Great characters, really exciting plot, beautifully written descriptions (I especially love the way you described the Manor in Bulgaria).  Neville as a dark wizard I wasn't so sure of, probably more because the name "Longbottom" sounds so very unscary, rather than because he seemed OOC.  I actually liked the motivation you gave him for being resentful and turning to the other side.  Great job, going off to read your other stuff now!


Author's Response: Thank you!  And you are absolutely right about Neville being OOC, because I love him like woah and know that he's Gryffindor to the core and would never become like that... But he's the only one that really fit the 'invisible' type that I needed for the story... I felt bad about abusing poor Neville this way, but it had to be done!

I know you said not to but..... WHERES THA SEQUAL??

Author's Response: Check out my Author's page, and there you'll find it... It's called The Balin Connection. I caved under the pressure and a lingering attachment to the characters/backstory.

I liked it pretty much - good pace and a developed story! (some typing mistakes - but never mind) But haven't you said : Note the second: There will not be a sequel to this story. Sorry if you were hoping. Hey and now I see: the is a sequel What made you write it?

Author's Response: Well, the most random answer you could possibly ever expect... I was actually watching a really bad episode of Charmed this summer, and it gave me a bit on an idea, and that idea lead to another one and another one, and eventually, I had a whole D/G fic plotted out in my head... but then it just seemed to fit with my Ginny and Draco from VI, so I created a sequel!  I think I just became attached to this 'universe' and didn't want to let them go.
