Firstly - I want to say I think this is a really good story. Increadably good in fact. Draco is a bit OOC but that can be explained by his war experiences - what he's gone through and his tentative friendship with Ginny evolving over warm milk and insomnia I think would bring that out more. He trusts her and would open up to her a bit more than he wold necessarily others.

I do feel however, that this is the making of what should be a longer piece. I think ( and this is just my opinion) it would benefit from more descriptions and not just a reliance on dialogue to flesh out the story. More descriptions of the characters inner monologues would also help flesh things out as well.

Also I wanted to point out that the scene where they head off to purchase the paint starts off at night and then suddenly turns to morning?

Overall you have done a really REALLY good job with this. I think it has the potential to be one of the D&G classics with a bit of tweaking.

*hugz* & *kisses* I really loved it :) care to carry on the story? plleeassseeee? pretty pretty please? xxxxxxxx

it's great!

Fantastic read!! Of course I'm one of the few, who likes to think that Ginny wasted her time let alone her virginity on that turd. But alas, we can't have everything.

Thank you Draco for coming to her defense and I loved to read this. Plus I would like to see the turn out of the baby room if you don't mind.

Thanks. VB

great chapter! (story? im not sure if its a one shot or not >.

Author's Response: Thank you. At this point, it is a one shot.

It was absolutely lovely! I'm not all that fond of Harry so it's nice to see him not be all that fabulous once in a while. Aside from that, I loved the story anyway. Though... there was a small error right after the Harry incident when "She smiled as she thought about the other unofficial..." you repeated "other unofficial." It was a relatively small mistake and the sentence was still readable, so it wasn't a big deal. I just thought I'd tell you.

Author's Response: Thank you for pointing out the error. I appreciate that. Thank you for the review as well. Harry is a bit damaged in this story, and he isn't very likeable. Hopefully he'll get some counseling and all will be well.

good loved it

Author's Response: Thank you : )

That was sooooooo good! Harry got wut he deserved. Good Luck ... lol like you don't know wut I would say.... ;)

Author's Response: Thank you. I am glad you liked it. I thought about putting a warning that it was a bit different than my usual stuff, but most people didn't seem to mind.

This was really a lovely little story. I kind of wish you would continue it. It's something very different from your usual pieces. Well done.

Author's Response: Thank you. I had this story in the back of my head for a while now, and I finally pulled it together. I'm glad you liked it.

Christine - you crazy lovable wonderful writer. You are going to be the death of me, you realize this, eh?

Yet another WIP. Obviously my plan of never getting addicted to WIP is thwarted... you are amazing. This one was another triumph. Loved it muchly!

So, on to the favourite lines...

“With all of those annoying brothers of yours, it must have seemed like a good option at some point.”

HA HA HA! This amused me to no end. Very Draco. Now, just as a little tiny criticism, I thought Draco was a tiny bit OOC -- but there were total moments of him being OH so Draco too... that was one of them. ;)

"...he noticed a foreign feeling in his chest. He vaguely thought it might be hope."

*GUH* -- My heart started pumping faster. Loved it!

"I think the war wouldn’t have been half as bad if we weren’t staying in such a dump.”

Too true - paint would solve a lot of the world's problems! ;)

“Are you disappointed that he hasn’t come by to see you?”

How much do I love this question. So obvious he meant Harry - so wonderful that H never occured to Ginny -- Perfectly played, Miss C!

“You could never deserve her.”
Draco nodded. “The difference, between you and I, is that I know how lucky I am that she is even looking at me. You took her for granted."

*Another Standing Ovation*
Wow. Really Really smashing. Great Job. Perfect ending. Loved it! All of your stories are love... thank you for pumping quality out!

*smooches you*



Author's Response: Oh, I do feel loved. Thank you for the wonderful review. I know Draco was a bit OOC in this story, but so was Harry. I've just been contmeplating this story for a bit. In my original idea, Ginny was untouched before he came home but I thought that would make Harry way too much of a evil bastard, so I modified the idea. I do hate to tell you that this is a one shot. I am trying to finish up the other fics, but my brain doens't always do what I want it to do. Thanks again.

I loved this. Harry can be so swarmy sometimes. I'm curious as to what he wanted when he came by - but I'm glad Draco stopped him. Great job.

Author's Response: I like that Draco snatched Ginny away from him without him really knowing it. Thanks for the review.

That was very nice! Loved it!
Draco is sooo sweet!
I would just love to read more! :D

Author's Response: Sorry, for now it is a one shot. I have to finish up some other stuff, and then maybe I"ll come back to this. Thanks for the review.

Very nice. It (the engagement) seems a bit fast, and Draco is a bit too... emotional, I think, but I still like it.

Author's Response: I know D is a bit OOC in this, but it just seemed right. Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked it.
