i LIKED THE WHOLE FACT THAT HE WAS DEPRESSED AND HIS EYES TURNED GRAY BUT THANKS TO HER HIS EYES TURNED BLUE THEIR NATURAL COLOR NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT ONE UP I APRAISE YOU!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I like the idea that there is a visible way that Ginny "thaws" Draco. -Lunaeyes

Huh? What's going on with that door? Is it locked or not? It locked and then neither Draco nor Ginny could open it. I'm assuming Draco couldn't because you said previously, "Draco motioned with his wand at the door, but it remained the same." I read this twice last chapter, to make sure you meant he tried to "Alohomora" it. Then in this chapter, Ginny tries what looks like the same spell and the door opens? WTF? Does a little nookie work to unlock a door? Why bother even having the door lock? At this point, they are both so hormonally drawn to each other, wouldn't it make sense for them to kiss without that external push? Especially when she is able to just waltz right out and it feels as though the reader was manipulated into expecting them to have to deal with the consequences of their physical interaction right then and there without an easy out.

If I put that issue aside (which may not be an issue b/c I might have missed something), I thought the chapter was quite sweet and evocative. Thanks for the update, as usual!

Author's Response: Ah, haha, I was wondering if you were going to catch that. It was poorly explained, I know, but it was for a reason. All will be explained next chapter, I promise that was no mistake. Thank you for your kind thoughts. You always keep me on my toes. Lunaeyes

I loved it! This chapter was filled with a lot of passion and I so cannot wait to see what lies ahead with the two lovebirds! Great chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks! Lots lies ahead, both fun and trouble, and it'll be interesting to see how they handle it. :) Lunaeyes
