I love this story. I can't wait to see what happens for their first kiss. My favorite part was how Draco walked into the kitchen not caring about his appearance until he realized that Hermione was there. He and Ginny really have something he just needs to embrace it. Thank you so much for writting this story it is really great.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!

YAH! an update. i was crushed when i checked my email this morning and then could only get halfway through before i had to leave *cry cry cry* fabulous as per usual and a nice length too. but bits i liked...
"Watch out for those eggs, those are important."
"I'm not touching the stove, Draco - relax."
(though i'm wondering exactly who said it. it wasnt very clear)
"Maybe it's Tonks?" she suggested, peaking around his arm, up at him.
"Then we'd have heard the umbrella stand," he said seriously. A moment's pause...and they both started to laugh. Poor Tonks. Her arch nemesis was that awful troll's leg.
(Hilarious!)
He confided in me that the lemondrops were loaded with Veritaserum."
(Hehe! I neva thought of that. Very clever)
"Yes, won't you two lovely ladies please start up a fire and have a seat over there," he gestured to the fireplace and two overstuffed armchairs in front it. "Way over there."
(hehe. i like the relationship draco and tonks seem to be building)
Honestly, how do you always know when I'm eavesdropping? I mean I didn't even make a sound," Ginny said, her hands on her hips. Draco just smirked and shrugged.
(i like that draco always knows when shes around. i may be reading too far into this but i like the idea that he's always watching for her)
She was inwardly glad that she hadn't kissed him, but was also fuming that she'd been refused.
(i just think that says alot about ginny and plus the funny factor)
And I think I might have gone just a tinsey tinny little bit overboard but you asked so its your fault and i just love this story. Great characterization but there will be bludgeoning if there isn’t any draco and ginny goodness soon!!!! accolades *salutes*
Author's Response: The first lines you mentioned do sound a bit vague - it's Draco speaking, with Hermione answering as she's moving around fixing tea. I left it like that because it didn't really matter if you thought it was Hermione or Ginny.
And the line where Draco suggest they go sit far across the room - it made me laugh to think he was trying to package some Dark artifacts with two clumsy girls at his side.
You've touched upon many of my favorite lines. Hehe, glad you enjoyed! And I LOVE that you went overboard!!! And I'll do my best to avoid that bludgeoning! THANKS!!!

i loved your story...your a wonderful writer. Don't stop there. Please?!. lol. I can't wait to read another one of your chapters. Like i already said i think your a wonderful writer. You have a good way of putting the right prospective on things like your there. You know what your writing about. Like you've exsperienced it. With that said i'll go your probley laughing at me. I don't know i am a little werid....lol....please keep writing?!!!!!
Author's Response: The reason some of these passages seem like I've experienced them before is because I sort of live them out in my brain a few times before even trying to write anything. And some of these passages are just very spontaneous and just flow from my fingers. I hardly give myself two seconds to think about it - I just try to imagine how Ginny and Draco would converse. It's fun. Thanks for reviewing!

Now, I don't have a particularly favourite line... but I love the butter dish and Ginny doing it ALL over again... OH if Draco only knew why butter on the elbow was important! AND the clumsyness... TOO funny!
You're right though, if my husband wasn't a cop, you'd be getting death threats already... honestly -- what is Ginny going to have to do to get Draco to realise his feelings, Attack him, half clothed in his bedroom one night? (Not a bad idea though, really! ;) )
Great chapter, I was excited for the update! ;)
Author's Response: The butter dish is a very crucial milestone for Ginny. And Draco has yet to understand the significance of the clumsiness, though he suspects. Thanks for reviewing (and for keeping death threats to a minimum!)

From this chapter, I actually really liked the part where he gave her his coat, and where he said, "Our roast". I don't know why (maybe the romantic in me), but I really loved those parts. Can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: He can't but share things with her. Protect her if he can. Anyway, thanks for the review!

A favorite part? Had to be this one, "Judging by your weight, Weasley, you have many favorites!" he said, having to run up the stairs to avoid Ginny's physical attack. Which is the follow up line to my last favorite part of your last chapter!
However, that said, I just loved the whole damn thing, and I didn't think anything needed more work, honestly. I was disappointed that Draco didn't let Ginny kiss him and am soooooo curious about why! Wonderful, wonderful update. Thanks so much! -fallenwitch
Author's Response: Thank you very very much! Sorry they've been doing more discussing than anything else. And Ginny hates to discuss. She's not much on discussing, she's more for action!

Author's Response: Thanks! I know that I'd be pretty clumsy around a good looking boy like Draco, especially after realizing I might be developing feelings for him and definitely after nearly admitting those feelings to him!

I looovvve this story!!! I think you might be my hero now :D
My favorite parts so far are how Ginny is being insanely clumsy around Malfoy.. My favorite line is this sentence..
~
"Can you pass the butter, please?"
Horrified, she realized what was seeping through the elbow of her sleeve.
~
I actually did that last month. Not in front of someone I had a crush on or anything, just in front of my friends.. I couldn't believe how clumsy I was!! Besides, butter soaking the elbow of your pretty green sweater is gross. =/ (luckily, the friends involved in the Butter Incident have forgotten about it, and didn't die from their laughter when they saw my sleeve)
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks for the kind words about the story. I thought that line would be a great laugh. Also - you have great friends if they didn't laugh at your little accident. :-)

gah, you're amazing. The details are fine. We're all just as excited about your updates as you are!
Favorite part:
"Judging by your weight, Weasley, you have many favorites!" he said, having to run up the stairs to avoid Ginny's physical attack.
Author's Response: That was a fairly good burn on Draco's part. And you know how all girls are rather sensitive about their weight. I also want to imply that though Ginny is small (in height), she's not so tiny is size...she's got some curves. Ooh, appealing! Now if only Draco'd give in to that!

Gorgeous. i nice long chappie this time! good on you. and me, because i get to read it. i'll shut up and paste in my favorite part now...:D
On the wall at the top of the stairs was a lifesize portrait of the Malfoys. Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco. They looked very regal and sublime. Lucius Malfoy was scowling down at her. Narcissa was stony-faced with an arched eyebrow, taking in Ginny's appearance. Draco was sitting in a chair, looking for all the world, bored out of his skull. He pointed to the hallway on her left.
Ginny found that, indeed, the voices were coming from the left. She shot the Draco in the painting a grin and set off in that direction.
Love the idea of portrait draco. Please update soon! want to hear more about those sexy sexy injuries...:P
Author's Response: Haha, I loved the idea of a family portrait at the Manor. Glad you enjoyed the long chapter, it took me a long time and was rather draining, but I'm glad it was worthwhile. More to come, stay tuned.

Excellent job with the characterizations, as always. This just gets better and better! Yes, the suspense makes me want to strangle you, but it honestly seems like how it should be, and if it wasn't written so well we wouldn't all be squirming in our seats for some lip action! Superb job, and I like the bit about it not being Tonks because they didn't hear the umbrella stand. Way to put your elbow in the butter for someone other than Harry, Gin. Wotcher, keep it up!
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks so much for the great review. Now I have a whole new chapter to tackle.

A favorite segment? That last bit was lovely, except for the whole not kissing thing. *pouts* I also liked Ginny's reaction to Draco looking forward to dinner with her and Molly. But when, when, when will he finally give in? It's just wrong to torment us like this!

its not lacking in plot, its setting up the plot but if we could get to fluffy draco/ginny goodness followed by harry's reaction, you would hear no complaints! :D i love this story and your characterization. harry's a jerk, which is GREAT! i am addicted. please up date soon! accolades *salutes*
Author's Response: If you think about it, canon Harry is a jerk. The way he treats others...man, JERK! Anyway, he's very self-centered, for good reasons, and pretty bad with words - and that's how I've kinda kept him in my story. Thank you and stay tuned!
