so i was reading it and i thought i was physic or something cause i read DD before this one if feel less special now.... oh well
This story is absolutely fantastic, definately my favourite D/G. It's superbly written, it's funny, witty, sad, a feel-good, interesting... It made you want to read it - it was never boring.
You've made me want to read Romeo and Juliet (I'm now halfway through), and I'm now interested in Princess Bride - but I need the book first :)
While I was reading R&J, I came across a quote that reminded me of Luna's situation with Harry and Wesley: falling out of infatuation with Harry and in love with Wesley.
Act 1, Scene 2, (line 45-50 in my book) said by Benvolio to Romeo:
'One fire burns out another's burning.
One pain is lessened by another's anguish.
Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning.
One desperate grief cures with another's languish.
Take thou some new infection to thy eye,
And the rank poison the the old will die.'
Keep writing!

I just re read this whole story again.
Merlin, I love, love, LOVE it.
It makes me all warm and giggly inside and hopefully one day I'll have my Draco or Wesley.
I do honestly love both Drakie-Poo and Wesley :D
oooo wow! i love it! :] this is the only story over like 20 chapters I have ever read on this site... and it was definatly WORTH IT! :] ha. i also lovvveeee the fifty different references :]
Author's Response:Words can't express how much I've enjoyed your reviews! This will probably be the longest story I ever write (and I'll never stop writing, so that's saying something, lol) and I'll always appreciate the time you spent reading it...and that you loved it--I definitely heart you for that! ^_^
I might get the recipe from my grandmother... and translate if for you. Of course, I have to get something in return. Lets say like another story related to your series, telling what is going on in their life after another 5 years or so(after the first 7)? Please?!
Author's Response: I want the recipe and I'm definitely going to write another reunion story--I already know the title 'Spanish Holiday' and the plot points. It's just that it has to wait until after current projects. Have you ever heard of Mugglenet? The HP site has fan fiction, and I'm (for now at least, heh) the most prolific writer on the site, so I'd love for you to check my author page and see if there are any other stories/pairings you might like! :)
OK! So i finely finished the story! Took me long enough(4 days). Interesting, I must say and I didn't get bored, considering that it 'only ' had 50 chapters. I never got to ask you where are you from? And also how did you find the phrases in Romanian? I presume that the internet is a very good source. It was nice, because every time I read a story, they use French or any other language but mine. Now I can also say that the other story, that tells their story after 7 years makes much more sens now, even though I should probably reread.
Author's Response:Most stories end when characters get together, but I think that's when things really start to get interesting, and fifty chapters later.... :D Thank you so much for spending your time reading the story! I'm a Yank who uses British spelling and slang for British characters, even though I don't use UK punctuation (that would mess with my head, lol) and enjoys researching the ideas that pop into mind so I can use them in the story. If you read Dealing with Dragons, you'll see I read a lot of info about Romanian culture and folk dancing so I could write the village "right". I heart Romania, and you for reading!
Hello! I am at chapter 37 now, so of course Luna and Wesley are together. Just got to the part of the new article, they sure get in the papers often. I am of to continue my reading.
Author's Response: There aren't many wizarding Paris Hiltons for the papers to sell gossip about, so they have to use what they have! :D
Hello! Me again. Ok, so as I promised i got around to reading your fic. I am at chapter 24, probably get to 30 until I will call it a night, but i have a question: when do Luna and Wesley hook up?! I mean, it's too much, and I kind of hate the Harry of your story.. anyway, Wesley is nice.
Author's Response: Hello, it's me....*hums o-zone* :D Yes, Luna and Wesley hook up. He pirates her heart away from Harry, who proves he's a decent guy in the end, but he's no saint, even if he does become the savior of the wizarding world, lol. I enjoyed writing a story where Slytherins are pov characters and Harry is the one seen in a non-flattering light!
I was looking through your story to see if it's any good, and even though I haven't started reading it properly yet, I must say you intrigued me with the Romanian words. I am from Romania, but to actually read a fanfiction that says more about my country than the fact that Charlie works here is definitely something. So now I am on with the reading. See you!
Author's Response:Dragostea Din Tei! Very cool, you being from the land of o-zone (among all the other fabulous things Romania is known for! :D) I'll admit right now that I created a Romanian girl for Charlie named Anika Christinel. I know Anica is Romanian for grace, but I figured mums the world over change spelling to make their child's name "unique". Please let me know if the C and K sounds aren't similiar--I'll change my explanation to surely not every Romanian mum gives their child a "pure" Romanian name! ^_~
v. good
wonderful
Author's Response:Thank you so much for reading my story. I'm so thrilled you didn't let Girl!Blaise put you off. I salute your ability to enjoy alternate dimensions of the Potterverse! ^_^
That was great! I always felt really bad at the end of chapters because I didn't review. I just wanted to keep reading. That was the longest fanfiction that ever held my attention all the way to the end! Great!
Author's Response: As much as I would've loved more reviews, lol, it's a wonderful compliment that you wanted to keep reading, so thank you very much for doing so and for letting me know you enjoyed the story! (I've got one shots, and a non-Matchmakers D/G fic if you ever want something shorter to hold your attention! ^_~)
Oh MERLIN! Haha i am soooo sad that this beautiful story has come to an end... you have such a talent. Keep writing!
Author's Response: Thank you for saying that! I hope you'll get a chance to read the one shots that follow, and the non-Matchmakers D/G story 'It Takes a Thief'. (self promotion is better than none, lol)
That was a kick ass story. I just couldn't stop reading for three nights i stayed up util five in the morning to finish it.
Author's Response:You made my day saying that! Thank you for losing sleep to read, and double thanks for reviewing to tell me you did! *hugs* :)
i think this is the best Draco Ginny fanfic ever and I'm happy that you wrote a sequel. I will gladly read whatever story you write!
Author's Response: I think you're the sweetest to say that! I wish I would have had the time to write a chapter fic sequel, but I hope you'll find one shots help round off the story right! ^_^
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i freaking loved this story!!!!!!!!!! not even kidding!!!!!!! it was soooooo freaking good!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: I freaking loved your reviews, so thank you so much for reading and always making me glad no one could see me grinning like an idiot when I read your reviews! :D
*sigh* You'll have to write more.. and when I say more I mean more besides Dealig with Dragons and Christmas Reunion.
I do hope someone from a publishing company reads this story and realises the potential you have as a writer =D
Author's Response:Aw, thank you! I do have a Spanish Holiday story in mind. I just have to find time to write it! Easter holidays are much more distracting than Christmas...all that sun and warm weather....:)
So smoochy!!! I loved it though when Marisol told Draco that she had listened to her "puta´s family" that shocked me a little bit. You see, that´s a really strong word in spanish and... kind of cheap. You´re writing is so wonderful, that it just didn´t blend in. Although, Spaniards are well known of their use of that word pretty frequently... Nice job, I really enjoy the story!!!! lol
Author's Response: Thank you! Marisol was a bad woman using a bad word...and I hoped it would make readers think 'that b-witch deserves to die!' :D
Wonderful job! I loved this story! Probably one of my all time favorites. I'm sad to see it end.
Author's Response: You saying that makes me feel less sad...and if you read the one shots that follow, I'll be a happy camper. (as long as camping is done in a cabin with internet service, heh)
Fabulous :) I've loved reading this story...
Author's Response: I've loved reading your reviews! Sigh....I'll just have to write more for you to read in the future! :D
What a wonderful almost-ending! *goes of to read Dealing with Dragons*
Author's Response: Dealing with Dragons is Draco first person pov, so it didn't go with the story, but I hope you'll think it makes a nice finishing touch! :)
