Oh goodie. Pierce is in trouble. I hope he doesn't hurt Ginny. I hope Ginny's not stupid enough to let herself be caught alone with him... Why doesn't she tell McGonnagal that he's a Death Eater? These kids are so stupid sometimes...

Oh. My. God. Excellent chapter. McGonagall was harsh! I hope she feels like shitoke mushrooms if/when she finds out he's not awful at all. Oh and Lord Pierce? Well he's not having much luck right now is he? How unfortunate. I wish he would figure out she has a child and everything so he can get off the track he's on right now and possibly help the situation. This is all Lucius' fault! Gah! Ginny better get it together so that she can be with Draco. Poor boy. Your characterizations have been amazing and this is written so well... all the elements that make a great story are being expertly utilized! Great job. I hope the reporter thing is working out for you. Anyways, looking forward to your next update (as usual ;-)

ohnooo, MORE D/G!!!! I still think he should take up residence in that little alcove of his =P

and ohschnap! Pierce is out for blood, now, man...I'm surprised he had the presence of mind to think about how he wouldn't be able to find Draco without Ginny. My opinion is that if he killed Ginny...Draco'd soon comeout of the woodwork. But it'd be harder/impossible to convince him that the Order did it - especially with Draco knowing Pierce's allegiances and stuff.

update soooonn!! I love this story

OMG, How can McGonagall be so cruel? Unless of course Ginny told her about what was going on? Does snape still have Naomi or did she really get away? This story has kept me guessing since it started. I can not wait to see if Ginny & Draco will actually make a go of things or if Ginny is going to continue to let her fears keep her away from something great.
Thank you for this story again and I look forward to the next update.

so...

“I haven’t been wearing it in case Mum and Da saw, but today…well, this morning I just felt like I needed to wear it."

She felt like she *needed* to wear it, hmm? Well that can only point toward one eventuality...

Also,

"They wore it on their wand hands because the circle was supposed to show the infinite bravery they showed by using that hand.”
“Supposedly, it has some special properties too...”

I have a feeling that is going to end up being significant. I assume Draco *is* wearing it on his wand hand? (And we know he *won't* take it off.)

So many possible hints!

Now, when will Nott show up? And where is Lucius going to mail Ben's hand? Surely he'll know Naomi is missing, not that he'd do anything about it except assume she chose to flee. That poor child!

By the way I am firmly resisting the urge to say I WAS RIGHT! It was Lucius and he was using Pierce's own trick against him!

Well, it seems that Pierce is going to get in trouble as I doubt he is going to find Draco just yet. One concern: McGonagall seems a bit too harsh for cannon though it does work in this situation. Just a little somehting I was thinking about. I hope you update soon! Thanks!

~HAHA take that professor.~

Oh, jeez. Everyone seems to be getting screwed over. Draco, Naomi, Pierce..*sigh* I hope Ginny talks to Draco about the kiss soon...wherever he is.
