Uh oh...I see where this is going. I'm sure we'll be waking up to an article that probably goes along the lines of "secret romance between draco malfory and new face of lush, ginny weasley! Narcissa malfoy disapproves!" and there are so many photo ops in this chapter alone that could "back it up" from any of the whispered conversations, him patting her bum, her clinging to him, them leaving the office (and since she just took pepper up I'm sure she'd look flushed)
Speaking of which, I absolutely loved that scene. Ginny's jibe about pretty rich boys was brilliant! And I'm very interested in how Ginny is going to think about her reaction to Draco's growl...just how honest with yourself are you going to be Ginny, m'girl?
I'm also finding it amusing that just a couple days after I reviewed the pink haired baby story with a hint hint about how much I would like to see a lush life update, here it is. Thank you! -even if it had nothing to do with it;) Is the summer less hectic for you two, btw? might we be seeing slightly quicker updates, by any chance?
In anycase, I'm looking forward to seeing how Ginny starts getting her feet back under her now that she's got a chance to go home and put in a bid for a full 8 or 12 hours of sleep. Look out Draco!
Author's Response: Ves says: She’s a little spitfire…and don’t we love her for it! A well rested Ginny just might start giving our boy a run for his money!
Myn says: Actually, there was a slight correlation, so yay for you! As for relative hecticness levels, well, my school year just started...

I've been looking forward to this update :) I love how you work in the chemistry between Draco and Ginny so subtly so that someone else (naturally not a D/G shipper) could point out no there's nothing between them, while we could argue YES THERE IS! EVEN THE REPORTER NOTICED! It keeps me on my toes :) Brilliant update - amusing and Ginny's situation is so real.
Author's Response: Ves says: Yes, yes. In our world, all reporters are just dying to see the slightest hint of D/G because they are all hardcore shippers.
Myn says: What you don't know is that the reporter has been writing D/G fanfic for ages. The opportunity to finally publish her 'why they are secretly together' article in the newspaper for reals is a lifelong dream come true. ;)

I'd love to say it's been worth the wait, but now with this chapter out, fabulous as it is, you've got me wanting more. alas, i don't think i'll be satisfied til it's over. and even then i might demand a sequel! :) Also, LOVE the ginny-librarian picture! You guys are great!
fashion+draco+ginny=so much greatness.
Author's Response: Ves says: I can see it now, Myn and I in our little rocking chairs, dictating Lush Life: The Return to our magic Dictaphones and giggling over the next twist.
Myn says: So... It wasn't worth the wait? *sniffle* My motivation for Lush Life: Son of the Return of the Sequel is totally dead now.

Oh, poor Ginny. That girl needs a good sleep. I hope she's not living at the Burrow anymore (can't remember if that was worked out in the first couple of chapters or not.) Otherwise, I don't think she's going to be getting any soon. I'm still inclined to smack Draco in his smug face, but very funny and cute.
Author's Response: Ves says: Wanting to smack Draco is a very normal reaction…he was being a bit of a brat here…
Myn says: No, she's living on her own. And yeah, Draco's face may as well have a big arrow pointing to it, with a sign that says, "In case of intolerable aggravation, slap here."

That's a beautiful picture that twinkly produced. You two are really enjoying writing this story. It is Heelarious. Poor Ginerva having to wade through the vipers. She handled that last question quite well, I gotta give it to her. Of course it'll be skewed in the mag though and I'm sure Carissa will have some choice words for Mz. Weasley in regards to her and Draco's um 'workplace' relationship. TFP, Looking forward to your next updates.
Author's Response: Ves says: OMG, Carissa. Yep, she’s probably somewhere with her makeup charms melting right off as her face turns red with rage. The mags are going to have a field day – I think we can all see that one coming.
Myn says: Oh, dear. See, this is why reviewers are invaluable. Ves, I'll tell you more privately about the thought this sparked once I've looked over the notes to see what we'd said about Carissa, but... Yes, thank you, reviewer.
