wow...just wow. I just caught up with all the chapters, and am thoroughly glad I did. This story is amazingly good, and I cannot believe that most of it (from what you've said) is from another one!

Cannot wait for the next chapter, and oh my god, seriously-your writing actually made me feel angry, or sad, or anxious-whatever was happening to Ginny, I just went along with it. So good.

OMG. That was hard to read. From the moment she woke up in a hotel room. That sounds damn shady and dodgy, I was cringing! Oh no please don't tell me she slept with the guy! I don't think she did. Maybe Parkinson hired that Zabini look-alike cos she knew Ginny had a thing for Blaise? But they took a picture of her naked with some guy like omg omg omg! SO HUMILIATING. And, is it like she got raped? Cos she doesnt remember anything, maybe she didnt give her consent.

I'm just so anxious now and to think it'll take you ages to update, though it's ALWAYS worth the wait. GAH.

Cheerio!

This was a nice, long chapter :) I've never seen HYD, but I've seen Meteor Garden, and if it did follow the manga closely, I know Draco's sure going to be more of an ass later on :/ Even though I have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen, I still can't wait for your updates cause they're slightly different and the material has to fit in with HP. Good job on writing so far!!

Wow I adore this fic. I loved it from the beginning, and you actually have gotten me into Manga, from Boys over Flowers, which is an awesome name.
Poor Ginny. NEVER accept a drink from a strange guy in a bar, as you never know what he put in it.
Did he put something date-rapeish in it? Will Draco believe her and kick that bastard's arse?
I cannot wait for the next chapter. Update when Real Life, that terrible miscreant who takes time from our wonderful fic writing, allows?

Author's Response: Excellent!! Glad you've started the manga - I've actually just started it myself (I've seen the anime, the Taiwanese version and I've practically memorized the Japanese version, I've seen it so many times). And, you'll just have to wait to see the answers to your questions, because there definitely ARE answers...

Oh man...how's she going to get him back?!? and what's she going to do when she realizes that she even wants him back?!?!?!?
I love the crack-tastic-ness of this fic.

Author's Response: That is the question, isn't it? Will she ever realize she wants him?? If so, when will that happen? lol... I'm glad you enjoy the cracktasticness of the fic, I was so afraid it would turn everyone off...

come on you can't stop there!!!!


Author's Response: Sorry!! If that chapter got any longer, I was afraid it was going to grow legs and run away on me. I was dealing with too much text, and just had to cut it at some point... Plus, secretly, I like to watch you all squirm... *evil laugh*

Oh, dear. Ginny does get herself into all sorts of messes, doesn't she? But this time, it really does seem to be her own fault. She was incredibly stupid. Ah well, I'm sure something interesting will come of it. Thanks for posting!

Author's Response: Yes, she was incredibly stupid, but her fault? I'm not so sure of that.

Oh my gosh. I didn't see the Hana Yori Danga stories so you can guess that I was absolutely shocked that Ginny was raped. I had hoped that the guy had left her at the hotel unharmed. Now you have to update as soon as possible so I can find out what happens to Ginny.

Author's Response: Will update as soon as possible... As for what truly happened that night - there's a lot more going on than those photos reveal. But, you'll have to wait for the next update for find out what that is! (If you watch HYD, you'll find out)

I have to tell you that your story is absolutely fabulous! I am on the edge of my seat at the end of every chapter and this newest one is awesome. I am impressed with your great character development, which is so hard to find in many stories. And previously the blow about Blaise and Cho to Ginny...I felt her pain, man! So please please update as soon as you can because I am dying to hear what you will come up with next! The chapters are huge..how long do you usually spend writing and editing? They are fabulous and keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Thank you!! I spend about an hour each day writing - or at least, I schedule an hour each day for writing, whether or not it actually happens is another story, lol. Thanks for reading!

but what *happened* that night? Surely it can't be that bad?? Everything is amazing about this chapter (well written and interesting as always) except the part where YOU LEAVE A MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER!!!
Evil. Pure evil. I *need* the next chapter...

Author's Response: Sorry about the cliff hanger, but the chapter was just getting TOO LONG. It had to be cut somewhere, and leaving it like that, well... it just gave me an opportunity to see everyone flailing angrily in the reviews! lol I hope to update soon, thanks for reading! (And we do find out what actually happened that night in the next chapter)

Update soon as I'm dying to know what happens next.

Oooohhhh, ending it there was evil! :( My heart breaks for Ginny, because she's truly and honestly an innocent and pure person, and yet that's causing her so much trouble because it makes her open to manipulation and cruelty. I hope Draco has enough sense to talk to her, and soon, before she becomes truly jaded and withdrawn. Sure, Ginny's a really strong person, but she's not superwoman. Somewhere along the line, she's going to break, and I really hope Draco will be there to help her through. I understand his reaction, but really, he should take everything Pansy says with a grain of salt. I bet that brat planned all of this! :P

Great writing! You have a way of portraying your characters so realistically, painting a vivid picture of them without explicitly saying so. At this point, I don't care much for Blaise, but I think Tonks is an interesting character :P I've really enjoyed reading this fic so far, and I do hope you update soon! :)

Author's Response: "Sure, Ginny's a really strong person, but she's not superwoman. Somewhere along the line, she's going to break, and I really hope Draco will be there to help her through." This going to be the thing that will either make or break their relationship, because my poor Ginny, she's just so alone and so accustomed to feeling like it's her against the world - she needs an ally, someone she can depend on, to know that someone would have her back, and if Draco is able to be that person, it's all good... but can be be that person?? Can HE trust HER enough to be that person??

In terms of Pansy... well, let's just say that Draco is a Slytherin for a reason, and that will come into play at one point or another....

LOL, so you don't like Blaise all that much?? haha, I'm actually kind of glad to hear that... people were getting all too fond of him, Draco is supposed to be the one we swoon over!

yes yes yes yes! Can I say that though I haven't read this chapter yet, I am extremely excited to find that your story has been updated!

Despite my visceral dislike for AU stories, this one has captivated me. Your Draco is perfectly in character, and so is your Ginny. And the violent tension between them, stronger than it would be in a non-AU Hogwarts, makes their "romantic" interaction all the more appreciable.

I can't wait to see how this unravels, and I am, in fact, off to do so right now :) Thanks for providing D/G lovers with such an enjoyable read!

Author's Response: Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comments re: their characterizations, especially as this story is SO AU, I have to really keep myself in check to make sure they're not 180% different for their canon-portrayals.

How utterly horrid. It really makes me want to kill Pansy, but I expect that was the emotion you were going for. Though I can't think why she would have cut out the guy's face from the picture. And I thought that Ginny still had on her shirt and knickers... so how could there have been a picture with her not wearing them? Ah well, I suppose I'll just have to wait for the next update to have all my questions answered. Do write quickly please!

Author's Response: The guy's face wasn't CUT from the picture, it just didn't show his face, I guess I should go back and explain that better. But as for Pansy... IS she the one behind it?
