The phrase 'The Apple of My Eye' is a beautiful and evocative expression of deep affection. It's often used to convey how someone or something holds a special place in one's heart, much like the most cherished and prized possession. Whether it's a loved one, a child, a pet, or even a favorite book, this idiom encapsulates the idea of something being so dear and precious that website that does homework for you akin to the apple in one's eye—something to be protected and cherished above all else. It's a wonderful way to express the importance and love we feel for someone or something in our lives.
Awwww.
I notice that I am getting less coherent as this fic goes on. Since the things that make me unable to speak are so AWESOME, I urge you to continue.
The Things They Carried line:
"Boom, down. Like cement."
It's from the part where Ted Lavender gets shot while coming back from going to the bathroom. Kiowa says it, right? I just finished reading the novel recently.
Anyways, fabulous chapter! This is story is rather interesting and I find Ginny's internal monologue to be incredibly funny. The interactions between Draco and Ginny are wonderful as well. Off to the next chapter!
awww, so cute!
Author's Response: Thank you! I appreciate your review!
You must tell me when does Gin plan on attacking him? Because the girl really isn't holding up all to well. And, I think Draco is intentionally doing these little things to her, because he knows something is up. GJ as usual, I liked this chapter.
Author's Response: Haha, you think Gin's sort of a ticking time bomb, do you? It sort of seems that way, doesn't it. Thanks so much for continuing to read and review!
Ok, I love this story!!! But somehow, this chapter left me wisshing more D/G... maybe it was all the Madame Rosmerta thing... nut oh, well... Don´t let them go back to Hogwarts for another 10 chapters!!!!
Author's Response: Did it really? Ha, well, there's more to come. Thanks a lot for your review!
I love it when other wiser people tell Ginny Draco's nice and cares about her and stuff. As always, can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: Well then I think you'll like Rosmerta a lot! Thanks a lot for your comments!
OMG, I absolutely LOVE this story. You're writing style is enthralling (I can't spell, sorry). Your descriptions of Ginny's emotions and actions, and the imagery is so beautiful. Excellent job. I cannot wait to read more. If you're able, I would love to be emailed when this story is updated at oopsjuice@hotmail.com
Author's Response: Hi! Wow, thank you very very much! Your comments are incredibly flattering! I try to work really hard on the style, so it's great to know that you like it. I can definitely email you if you wish, or you could add the story to your favorites and the site will automatically send you an email when it's updated. I really appreciate your review, and hey, I didn't notice any spelling errors! ;)

Author's Response: Hello again! Thanks very much for continuing to read and review! I really appreciate it!
I love this story, they really are getting to know each other very good!!
Author's Response: Thanks a lot for reviewing! I'm glad to hear that you like it!
This story continues to be delightful. Ginny has a great voice. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Thanks so very much for continuing to read and review. It's very kind of you, and I appreciate your comments. Ginny is so much fun to write- I'm glad you like her!
they're so cute..update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
I love this story! lease don't end it too abruptly! I love how this story is so un-fluffy and I can relate to Ginny so well! *le sigh*
Author's Response: Thanks a lot for your review! It makes me really happy to hear that you are able to relate to Ginny - that's exactly what I was hoping to acheive when writing her character! I have several more chapters of the story written and the end is still a few off, so I don't *think* it'll end abruptly, as far as length goes, anyway. I'll keep that in mind! Thanks again!
Hey, wow, I didn't know that you were posting on this site! Now I don't have to go back and forth between ff.net and this one!
Well, I've reviewed for this chap before but I guess I'll do it again. Great chapter! This is one of my favorites! Ginny wakes up with a bang, hee hee.
Oh, the illustrations are actually coming. Quite slowly, but what can I say? I haven't really found time to fully sit down and illustrate. I've done two sketches for the scene when Ginny wakes up in Draco's arms (as seen in this chap), but they're not done... Which reminds me, I need a new scanner.
Okay, I think I'll stop babbling now. Great job as always!
Author's Response: Hi! Yeah, I'm kind of sick of switching between the two sites as well, so I decided to just post it here to make life easier. Thanks a lot for leaving a review-- I always like hearing from you! I must say, I'm *SO* excited about the illustrations! I can't thank you enough, honestly! I know how time restraints go, so take as much time as you need. It sounds like you've got a wonderful start! Thanks once more, and can't wait to hear from you again!
Haha, I really liked this chapter!
This sentence in particular:
In the precise moment my foot moved to the next stair, I got an eyeful of a semi-shirtless young man, and it hit me like a slap in the face.
-set me off and I had to stifle my snort of laughter so I wouldn't scare my roommate. The rest was just as hilarious. I think this is the first fic with Ginny in first person that I actually like.
Well done!
Author's Response: Hey! Thanks a lot for taking the time to review, I really appreciate it. You know, I'm with you on the first person thing- normally I really dislike it. I think that's why I decided to write this story- I wanted to do something different with it and really utilize the ability to get in Ginny's head. It's awesome to hear that you like it. Heehee, I'm glad that I made you laugh (almost) too!
~Too perfect. I just love this story~
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I appreciate your review!
It's lovely, really! To be honest, it was one of my favorite chapters. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Really? Well, excellent! Thanks very much! I appreciate your review!
