I just lost two days of my life reading this and I'm just so amazed! The ending was beautiful, I really love how realistic everyone is all the way through. Especially Draco and Ginny's family. I love Mrs Weasley in this, minor character I know but she's just a perfect mum. And I really like how the brothers react in all kind of different ways towards Draco.
I have to admit though its crazy frustration when all I want is for Ginny and Draco is from them to just kiss already but it's such a beautifully developed relationship that It didn't really matter how long it's took/taking them to get on with things!
I'm going to give myself a couple of days and then I'm going to read the sequel! Can't wait.
Again, amazing work.

I remember reading this the first time around and not thinking much of it -- what a mistake! I thoroughly enjoyed it the second time around, and felt you had given us a good mixture of family life, romance, angst, and mystery / thrill / action. I liked your depiction of Draco and Ginny -- it felt very natural -- as well as that of Lucius, which I found very realistic. I'll be curious to see more of Will as he grows up and is able to say words beyond "dada" and "book", but I'm sure that your ability to flesh out your characters will not leave me disappointed! Aaaand I'm now off to read the beginning of the sequel. Yay!

Okay!
I'm done. Phwoar! Pretty epic, missy. To be honest, I didn't even know what I was getting into when I started reading this. Am I reading it late? It says you have no other stories, so maybe you haven't even written the sequel as yet?
Oh, all right, I'll get to reviewing...
Beautiful writing. Really. I truly love that Malfoy is a git throughout. I like a character who changes is almost imperceptible ways, but still holds true to the core of his nature. Ginny, too, but REALLY - Malfoy. And I wish Ginny would just GET IT that it was Blaise in the Riddle House... at least, that's what I'm going with and I know I'm right :P
What else to say... Not much, and a whole lot of a lot, I just don't know where to begin. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am glad I began reading it on vacation, cos otherwise my work would've suffered sorely!
Can't wait to read the sequel! (please let there really-really be one...)
Author's Response: The sequel is not out yet but as I am almost finished with the first chapter, I can say pretty much for sure that it will be out next week sometime! I had a lot of trouble with the plot for the next one, so I didn't get started on it right away like I had hoped. Anyway, thanks for reading and I'm so glad you enjoyed Malfoy's character! He is incredibly hard to write because I really do want him to stay in character as much as possible.

I've really enjoyed reading this fic, it's very well written and thought out. Your Draco and Ginny are spot on! I'm gonna have to read the sequel now that I know there is one, hopefully it's already on here.
I am a little bit confused as to there current relationship tho. Are they a couple now then? Or do they just live together and raise Will together with a little bit of hanky panky on the side?

I was wondering if the spark between them had gone out - until that last little scene. I've really enjoyed this story and I'm really looking forward to the sequel. Although I hate that they are keeping secrets - here's hoping one day they can actually be honest with each other!
Author's Response: Yes, I wanted to end with them together, since all that was kind of lost in the craziness of the last few chapters. Thank you for your reviews! Yes, I think at some point they HAVE to get to a point where they stop keeping secrets, otherwise, it'll never work out between them.

amazing chapter as usual. are ginny and draco going to finally start calling eachother by their first names??... im getting a little annoyed that they havent dropped the last name calling...
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, they will get to the first name basis eventually. I'm sorry you're annoyed, but I've actually been very deliberate about when and why they start calling each other by their first names.

i love this. and I loved how Draco was toying with the idea of marrying Ginny, but they didn't get married. it would have seemed a little unromantic, though they do love/care for each other. great finish to the story- I'm glad they explained themselves before at Fleur and Bill's, and that Hermione is ALIVE, and I'm glad/sad/proud when i read about why Gabrielle died, and Malfoy's envolvement. great writing.
Author's Response: Thanks, glad you liked it! Yes, I think Draco and Ginny need to actually WANT to get married to each other if they ever do, rather than just doing it for the money. Maybe that will happen in the sequel!

Aww. I like it :) especially the last line. I somehow feel the need to have an "epilogue part 2" though, just to see if they end up married and in that house. Maybe you'll write one? If not, the ending is sweet anyways. Good job!
Author's Response: Thanks! Well, there's going to be a sequel (coming out this week, hopefully), which will deal with them possibly getting married and trying to get the house.

WOW!
I mean, i'm certainly shocked
not the ending i was waiting (hoping) for
It was a very good ending and i'm indiscribably happy that there's going to be a sequel, but...
THAT'S IT???
they don't get to have the fairytale ending?
like going to the bedroom and the rest of the house, snog quite a lot, find out they are in love, agree on the marriage and not only because of the house, but because they want to be together...and then they would bring Will and he would love the house and they would give him a little sister or brother...
sorry i got too carried away
i was just hoping the ending would be so much biger
tehre was the "definately naughty" part, and that's what made me start reading it, of course the pltting and writing was great, tremenduosly so.
but it could be magestic, and instead it was just...big
i was truly hoping for much much more
anyway, i know you can't, actually WON'T, re-write the ending, but i hope seriously that the sequel will meet the great standards you had set up for this one
this should be immense, but you settled for good
so please make the sequel all that you grew for inn here
because this could be immensily greater but you got smaller withe ending
sorry for the criticism, it's just that, you're too great, too amazing to settle something so simple as this ending
i would have guided you to do it much much bigger
but then again, you have your own beta and ideas, but you could just have dazzled us with something soooo much more wonderful
i'll stop it now, but congratulations even so, it was great to have the implied ending
=D
kisses
Author's Response: Haha, well if I gave them the big fairytale ending in this fic, then what would there be to write about in the sequel? Because there's going to be a sequel, the point of the epilogue, for me, was to set things up, introduce more, rather than to resolve things. So the point was to introduce the idea of them getting married, introduce the idea of them living in that flat, and then maybe in that house. I don't think it's only 'good' or a 'small' ending because they didn't end up married and having another baby already. That would be way too fast. They can't even admit to themselves that they love each other yet, and I want that to be developed well, instead of just a hasty, sudden realization. Because that's not realistic. I don't think endings have to be big and dramatic to be good, in fact, what I love about Draco and Ginny is that they're subtle and unconvential. They're not like your typical couple. I'm glad you think I'm an amazing writer, but I don't think just because it was a simple ending means it was bad. I actually take that as a compliment. Simple was what I was going for. Anyway, point is, don't worry, because there's still lots to happen for them in the sequel!
