i absolutely love this story. I usually don't really enjoy stories where Draco and Ginny fall in love too quickly, but how can i not love this story when your writing is so impeccable. Thank you so much and I look forward to reading some more.

I just happened to stumble upon this story by accident. It is enchanting though and I intend to read it to the very end...in one sitting.

This is a brilliant beginning, Jessica. I am always awed by your talent, and it seems that this story will not be the ecception.

this story was good but sounds incomplete.many things r there in the story left undefined.u can write a prequel still........
Author's Response: Well, it was a contest entry, so yes, the world D/G are in was rather hastily built. Sorry! I'm not planning on a prequel or sequel, but I do have other works you can check out if you'd like.

I loved this entire story. You have a way of pulling the reader in, making it realistic. It's funny in a sad way, such as Ginnys comment on the wedding cake house. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fic. Brillian!

Shockingly beautiful writing. I'm sufficiently intrigued. (I've been tempted to place Draco somewhere exotic myself and am playing with the idea of putting him in Algeria. And like you, have not been there...ever.)
Author's Response: Wow, thanks. Glad you like the writing, and VERY glad you're intrigued! I'll have you know I considered Brazil for a time, but then decided India was way better.

I read this fic when it was posted for winning 2nd in Pud's contest. I really really liked it, congrats on placing! However, one point...Draco was in his teens when he left for India, it just seemed strange that you begin by stating that he doesn't remember much of home. Sixteen or so years and all he can remember is the weather? It was just a small point, I know, but it was at the beginning and it sort of jarred me. Again, congrats on winning 2nd place!!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
I think the point is, he hasn't forgotten it do to age, or memory loss or whatever. He's chosen to forget it. He's chosen to put it all behind him--to live for the day, so to speak, in India, and forget England. India has taken over his life. That's why seeing Ginny is so jarring; she brings everything flooding back--such as his hatred for Harry.
Hope that clears it up a bit! And thanks for reviewing!

whats a parasol, and are you indian?
Author's Response: A parasol is, by definition, an umbrella. Tends to be lacier, however--it is (or was, really) carried by women, during the day, to protect their skin from the sun. Very Victorianesque like thing to do, I suppose, but that is a bit how the Wilcoxes live.
And no, I'm half America, half French. However, I did a lot of research for this fic. I'm sure I'm not 100% on the mark, but I'll plead the "wizards are different!" card and also point out that I did try my best!
Thanks for reviewing... :-)

Brilliant start... really looking forward to reading this story!
PS: any relation to Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'? or are the titles the only thing in common with the two tails?
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks very much for reviewing! (And first, too!)
And no, not plot-wise. It fits, however, as you'll see, and I enjoy using Shakespeare quotes.
