Oooh. Another couple of great chapters. And, I see the D/G starting to fall in place. Really nice. Am enjoying this story very much!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE update soon!!!!

Aw. Poor Ginny. She got left behind and now no one is really her close friend.
I'm hoping that Jon realizes the error of his ways after getting Malfoy and Ginny together and that he saves Draco from whatever evil fate they have planned for him :-
Update soon!

Brilliant. Can't wait for the next one..♥

How sad for Ginny.

Pierce is unbelievable. Most of the time I end up thinking that he's this really nice sort of guy, and then I conveniently overlook the fact that he killed his own mother. What's harder to overlook, since it's happening in present day, is that he's trying to give Draco someone to care about only to manipulate him with it - her - afterward.

After that, all I can think of is how evil Pierce can really be...

Wow. What an action packed first chapter. Nice, very nice. I would leave a much better review, but I'm too excited, and I've got to continue on to the next one.

now we are getting somewhere...brilliant chapter...that Pierce guy really tricked Draco...hhehe...

AUUGHH! That was AMAZING!! Excuse me for gushing, but...great chapter. At first, when I realized it was going to be all about Jon, I got a little annoyed. Much as I like him, after all, he's not D or G, and I was hoping to see some interaction between them.

But...okay, let me start from the beginning. I thought it was great that Jon has nightmares about his mother. She seemed so wonderful, and, after all, he killed her. I think the nightmares provided a necessary bit of depth that many fanfic writers would have overlooked. He is such a fascinating character--I am intrigued, for instance, by the conversation he had with Snape. One wonders exactly what inspired him to join, and how and why he changed. Ah, Jon. Great character!

And we got to see him at his best, here, REALLY his best. He's so good. The moment Ginny entered the scene--well, at that moment, I screamed "Ginny you fool! Go away!" for her sake. But when Jon actually REALIZED that she was what he needed, it was so exciting. I could feel the tension in him bursting, the way you described it.

And it's really an interesting way you've written it--usually, in fanfic on this website, the reader knows that D and G will fall together somehow, but the characters don't. And it's usually not ANNOUNCED beforehand, as it has been here. The fact that you have Jon blatantly orchestrating it is an unusual choice, and I look forward to seeing how that plays out. I somewhat fear that it will take away from their romance--you know, the fact that they won't just fall for each other because they can't resist--oh!!

OK, I'm sorry, but I was about to write "they won't just fall for each other because they can't resist fate, or something." Argh! You're a genius! Because then I remembered the title...wow. Obviously, yeah, they AREN'T meant to fall for each other, and it will only happen because of malevolent reasons!

This fic is so good.

But it's not going to have a happy ending, is it?

Lastly, (finally) I wanted to say how impressed I was by Jon's handling of Draco. He was so measured, and knew exactly what to say--it's clear that he's really experienced at manipulation. But not only that, once he had delivered the 'stab at the ego,' he even offered an excuse for his behavior. Draco, who is pretty paranoid, might have been suspicious about why Jon mentioned Ginny...but then Jon made it seem he only wanted the Slytherin team to win! It was truly perfect, and actually a pleasure to read.

Poor Draco. Poor Ginny.

Please update quickly!!!

Man, I love the evilness of Jonathan. He's found Draco's achilles heel and plans on using it for all it's worth, Poor Gin. Draco at this point can't see the manipulation behind what Jonathan did he suspects the man is up to something but at the same time the way Jon carries himself you really can't tell what he's up too. But, I wonder just how will Jonathan get past Draco's icy posterior. It'll be a hard thing to melt, hell how does Ginny end up following for Draco when she's heads over heels in love with Scarhead? Something really big must bring them together to even be civil to one another. I have faith in your HC, you've produced great stories in the past and this one is surely added to the lot. I can't wait for your next update. TFP. :)

oh my, i'm kind of dissapointed in Draco....what happened to his trust no one from slytherin attitude? Doesn't he remember that everyone from slytherin has an agenda???

Gosh, I got down to the bottom and was promptly disappointed when I didn't see a next button. I really do enjoy this story, it has a great pace and the interactions are of the characters are intriguing. I wonder how Jonathan will break through Draco's icy appearance. GJ as ususal, I look forward to your next update.
