"and ready or not, here they come."
^.^
Author's Response: Thank you! The original on FF had dialogue formatting issues, with non-pov characters' dialogue being dropped to a new paragraph for some bizarre reason that makes no sense to me now, lol, and a little too much brown eyed/blue eyed/redhead/brunette unnecessary description going on, heh, that I smoothed out and no longer cringe about since it's gone, baby, gone! :D

I forgot to say in my last review that I really like Blaise/Terry's relationship.I almost didn't read this story because when if comes to stories I'm a huge 'boy' Blaise being bestfriend/snark partner with Draco.But like I said I'm actually reading this story for Blaise/Terry than Draco/Ginny lol Wes and Luna are great too.
Author's Response: Wow, that's such a huge compliment. I absolutely treasure it. Thank you! :) :] =)

Oh okay, then thats good. Make sure ginny has a sexier bum and breasts because that would be hot. (for draco and me) ima big ginny lover!
Author's Response: Ginny is definitely the curviest girl, but Draco likes her for her fiesty personality as much as her body....although their attraction does heat up! :D

ummm... blaise zabini is a guy....
Author's Response: Yes, in HBP BZ finally got a gender and a description to go along with the name, but before that, 'he' was only a name. This story written pre HBP, so that's why I put in the summary that it's an Alternate sixth year and Blaise Zabini is a girl. If you think of her as 'the other BZ' I think you'd enjoy the story! ^_^

*pants* excuse me, let me calm down and attempt to elaborate. firstly, draco character: SPOT ON. love him. he ain't going down with out a fight -- which makes it all the more fun! secondly, your girl blaise! terrific. i HATE the idea of a girl blaise, but you've really made her come alive. i love her and draco's platonic friendship.
BRILLIANT! how was that for a decent review? less squeeing and more commenting if you get my drift. ;)
Author's Response: Wouldn't your stomach turn and your lip curl like Snape if Draco looked into Ginny's eyes and fell instantly, quote sonnets-deep in love? My inner Draco is sneering at the thought. :D Thanks for enjoying him fighting his feelings and Blaise as a girl too. To quote the grandpa in the Princess Bride, in a few more chapters "you might not mind so much"! Thanks for the brilliant review! ^_^

it's taking me some time to get used to the idea of Blaise being a girl, but i'll get over it...i really like this so far
Author's Response: Thanks! You know how pork is *the other white meat*? Just think of her as *the other Blaise Zabini* ^_~ I think of it like two kids at school having the same name, lol, hinky, but it happens! :D

i really like this story so far... it was a really good idea and i really like your interpretation of blaise's character. "she" blaise works really well in this story
Author's Response: Thank you! The story has twists and turns that couldn't happen if Blaise was a boy, so I'm glad you like my interpretation of BZ! =]

This was written before HBP, but after OOTP, right? So we should be aware that Ginny thinks Luna "isn't that bad". This quote from your story seems to show otherwise and I don't like how it downplay's the fact that though Ginny may have a temper among many other faults, she's a veyr understanding person, and not nearly as judgemental and Ron. One of the main reasons Ginny/Draco is (to me at least) much more likely than Ron/Pansy. But, then again, feel free to disagree.
"She noticed Ginny Weasley giving her
the standard you are so weird look."
On the other hand, I was very impressed with Blaise's character. She's a mystery already.
I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Ginny doesn't think Luna's bad, just weird, lol, and you'll see that getting to know Luna makes Ginny and Blaise see the girl behind the image she projects and through shared experiences they become friends. I think you'll enjoy the progression and yay! you like Blaise! I think of her as *the other BZ* :D

heh... I read this many many times on ffnet. I even downloaded it into a word doc on my computer so I could reread it without going online. It is most definitely one of my favorites, right up there with everything by Davesmom. Are you going to write anything else new? I read the other reviews and I have to admit that I also watch Henry V for Branagh, Much Ado About Nothing as well (my favorite!).
Anyway, the story is just as fabulous as it was the last three times I read it. I love the mesch of Shakespeare, the Princess Bride and my favorite ship... D/G. Though I did become a huge fan of Luna/Wesley... keep up the writing!
Author's Response: That's so nice of you to say! Thanks so much. ^_^ I am planning on writing a Matchmakers Christmas reunion story to show what happens *after*, but I've been kept so busy writing a Remus/Tonks series I haven't had time for another D/G story. This one, I loved so much, I had to go back and correct things, make it shiny, and nothing spurs like having to meet high standards on a site like this one, lol.

It is wonderful. I can't wait to read more. Do you have it archived other places too? It sounded like you might from the little summary... and I'm notoriously impatient! ;) (And like I should talk... I have the last chapter of a WIP to type yet! ;) ) Anyway, it's my favourite play - the one that made me fall in love with Branagh (that and Henry V) and I'm uber-excited to read more! ;)
Author's Response: Huzzah, somebody else who watched Henry V for Branagh! :D I thought he and Thompson were fab in every film together, and was so sad they broke up, although I think she's very happy with her Mr. Willoughby from Sense and Sensibility. LOL at a writer who makes readers wait while not wanting to themself- aren't we all like that? :D Yes, you can go to the site mentioned, or wait a few days for the next chap to be perfected by a beta to be worthy here. ^_^ Thanks for reading and wanting to read more!

I love this story. :) I got told I didn't need "yes men" too the other day. *sigh* Poor Ginny... she doesn't know it's all a set up. And that she's falling for it hook, line and sinker. Ah well... All in the name of love, eh? :P
So... did Myn cave or did you edit grammar after all?
Author's Response: Cave? No way! I was happy to edit, and hallelujah, I have a PI beta to make sure I've capitalised the Potterwords and added the commas, etc, etc...in future chaps.

You put it up! Thank you! I adore this fic, I have read it (several times) on FF, it is a great addition to the site. I might have to read it once again!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! If you read it again, I promise I'm doing my best to polish up the story like a shiny red apple, because it's one of my all time favourites! ^_^
