Awesomeness.I don't get why you were worried about this chapter. I like its direction fine. That kissing sequence was electric!
And I get the feeling Draco might have feelings of something a bit more intense than "friendship" towards our Ginny.
"She was shaking her head, trying to protest again – she wasn’t like that! He had some sort of idealised picture of her, something that she wasn’t! She wasn’t beautiful, or special, or anything really. But he stopped her again, spinning her so he could look her in the eye." Oh god! This reminds me so much of me. Too many self-esteem problems that she doesn't believe others when they tell her hoe wonderful she is. *sigh* this storyis amazing.
Well done! I really enjoyed your first chapter and have been waiting for your next installments. Loved that park scene. Does he or does he not realize that he is in love with her? Hmmm... Guess I'll just have to keep reading.
OMG!! I loved it! lol. Keep up the great work.
