Hey I was re-reading your story (as I often do while waiting for updates :p) and I noticed Ginny says, ``"Oh, come on now, we are not at Hogwarts anymore," she snapped." Did you mean for her to slip up or was that a genuine error? Because they think Ginny went to Durmstrang.

Author's Response: (wow, you're re-reading my story? ... I'm flattered... though if you can wait a few weeks, I'm going to be updating the chapters--and adding some new flashbacks, mwahahaa) Hum, yeah. That was a slip. On her part. Totally planned. (It's true, I promise!!)

Sorry for the late review! I read this chapter the day it came out.
Well, I see what you're doing with her frequent slips, but then, one cannot change to the core. And maybe WE see them better 'cause we know who she is, but looking from the other characters point of view, it's not that obvious. It's a really tricky balance you're maintaining here.
Now, with this not-so-unexpected situation of Blaise keeping an eye on her, those slips are going to be more crucial.

Well, I looked in your profile for some e-mail or msn, but there's none. No mistery in the microwave brigadeiro recipe.
Sweet condensed milk, and Nesquick as usual (there is a range between 2~4 tablespoons of Nesquick, based on personal taste), but in this case you don't use butter (yeah! so it's kindda lighter!) and you just mix the condensed milk and Nesquick together in a HIGH bowl.

(Note the HIGH part, it's important, you can use a bowl heighing about 10cm. Remember when milk boils it goes all the way up, so when you are doing the regular way you keep stirring it, in the microwave you won't).

8~10 minutes in the higher potency, always depends of the microwave, and voilá.
There you get your brigadeiro without effort. ^^

Author's Response: No problem! We're not on a time schedule, are we? ;) Slips are going to become dangerous very VERY soon. In fact, next chapter (number 12) is the first step toward the downfall. Question being: how eager will Blaise be to tell Draco is wife is Ginny Weasley, eager to get her revenge on him? He might be decapitated in the process, like those messengers of Nero who were killed when they rbought bad tidings... (jk about the decapitated part. we like that nice little head of his on his manly shoulders) Thanks a bunch for the review AND the recipe. I will try this very soon, mwahahahaaaa.

I loved this chapter, because things are starting to be pulled out into the open. One small question, Narcissa seems to put a lot of emphasis on producing an heir, will there be a baby in this story?

Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, things were bound to come out. Has Narcissa really been that insistant on their having an heir? I hadn't noticed... Well, all the better for her... If she lives to see it born... (dum dum dum dummmmm)

I really enjoyed this chapter! i hope no one will be too angry when they find out that Ginny is really a Weasley.

Author's Response: I'm glad you did. Most people won't be angry. In fact, most people won't find out until later. I can, however, tell you of one person who will be livid... and dangerous. Thanks for reviewing!

Ahh, I'm so nervous for Ginny. She's obviously doing a great job so far keeping cover: from attending tea parties to keeping her roots dyed; but it's the little things that worry me. The way she forgets that as a Malfoy, people are always watching her - Draco caught (and memorized) Hermione's letter, the way Serafina Zabini overheard her conversation, and the way she said, "Oh, come on now, we are not at Hogwarts anymore". I'm not sure if you inserted that slip intentionally or if Draco or anyone else caught it, but I'm nervous that someone has.

Until you update, though, you've got me on tenterhooks. Wonderful job so far!

Author's Response: You are very observant :D Her regular slips only show that no matter how much you can change your appearance, and even demeanor, you remain who you are... Regardless of whether Draco and the others catch this or that slip, there are enough to spurr some instinctive questioning. Blaise will not be so keen on letting these slip again... Thanks for your review. I'm glad you're catpivated.

I love the way you're writing this story - showing both Draco and Ginny's growing affection for each other and conflict because of it. I'm eagerly looking forward to finding out what happens next. :)

Author's Response: Thank you :) Hopefully the next chapter will meet your expectations, though their growing affection is going to take a succession of little blows... Cheers!

Wow i lost count of the number of twists the plot had in one single chapter! hats off to u.

Author's Response: that many twists, really? hummm... maybe I should make sure they're all part of my plan... thanks for the review!

This story just keeps getting better and better. There are so many D/G fics that are content to skim over the surface of everything that relationship could be, but this one really digs deep. You don't try to minimize their incompatibilities, but in this case they have far more problems than those. I look forward to seeing how you continue to work this one out.

Author's Response: Thank you very much. I could hardly say how honored (as obsequious as this may sound, that is how things are) I am that you appreciate my approach to Draco and Ginny's relationship. My main fear is that I'm focusing on the plot rather than on the couple's feelings, though I try to give both a good thought before I write. I hope to keep you interested and satisfied.

What a lovely chapter! I can't say I didn't see that one coming. Draco asking Blaise to spy on his wife was obvious. Who else would Draco share his personal life with? These "high class women of society" share many things in common. Though, one particularly stands out; utmost respect for Lord Malfoy. I enjoyed your conversation between the ladies. Light but each word still drenched with superiority. Please update soon!
Thanxxx

Author's Response: What a delightful review :) Detailed comments make me happy. Yes, I know, Draco had to ask Blaise to take care of his dirty laundry for him... It was expectable. Sorry you read so clearly into my game! I hope the rest will surprise you, or at least keep you on your toes. Thanks for the review!

Oh, dear. Ginny needs to learn to control her temper; when she doesn't she lets things slip. I have a feeling that there are going to be parts of this story that are going to make me very unhappy. But it is so well written that I won't mind too much. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Well, Ginny is a Weasley through and through, so controlling her temper is not her thing. I really hope no part of the story makes you unhappy--though if it involves Draco's unmasking Ginny, then prepare a punching-bag or box of Kleenex. I am very flattered you find this well written. Thank you.

I can't wait to see what Blasie finds out! Love the chapter! I wish you had entered the competition, then i could read the whole thing! giggles. How many chapters will there be? I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Oh Blaise is going to find wayyyyy too much for Ginny's own good. As to entering the competition, it would have been a hard feat, considering that I had one chapter, maybe two, written by the time the deadline rolled by. I have absolutely no idea how many chapters there will be. So far it looks like twenty could be a reasonable estimate. Then again, when I began this, I expected it to be ten chaps... So, we'll see! Thanks for the review :)

Write more! I can't wait to see where this story is going.

Author's Response: I am in the process of doing just that... Though if my beta-reader and D&G.com keep responding at this pace, I'll soon be out of material! Heck, I thought I had a few days ahead of me, lol. Thank you for reviewing so frequently!
