Hi.
I don't normally review stories, but I had to pipe up and say something about the lack of continuity in your otherwise wonderful story.
In earlier chapters Draco gave the impression that his family wasn't particularly loving. For example, when Draco places Leo into Ginny's care, he remarks that he wants Leo to get the same level of love that he didn't receive as a child. In addition, somewhere else in the story Draco gives the impression that Lucius regards Narcissa as a possession rather than partner and states that he will never forgive his father for what he was forced to endure as a child. Exploring Draco's feelings towards his father- love, anger, understanding, sadness- could be a wonderful source of drama, especially if Draco was forced to stand up to his father to protect his son.
Another thing that bugs me is the insular life that Ginny has been leading for the past 23 chapters. Despite not having children myself, I find it totally implausible that Ginny- or anybody, really- would be content spending much of her day inside a small room with only her son and mother-in-law for company. Perhaps Draco could raise this in later chapters, allowing Ginny to explain why she wasn't tearing down walls?
Apart from that, I am deeply enjoying your story. It's the kind of story that I love, a dark world where the only thing certain to occur is the falling-in-love of the protagonists. The writing is strong and the reactions of most of the characters are realistic and interesting.

Well, that would be difficult to discuss with your mother in law.
Snape/Hermione? My second favorite ship, bring it on!!!

Ok, I’m getting extremely worried, IS there something going on between Snape and Hermione? Maybe he’ll adopt her *clasps hands together with a hopeful expression*
Great chapter, I like the fact that Draco and Ginny are talking, especially about their relationship and its complexities. I always find that guys that are into leaving lovebite behind, tend to have a possessive darker side, and with your Draco, thats just Yummy! Aaaww, Leo said his first word!

Uh oh! Omg! Well at least they didn't get interrupted, this time. If she could disapparate and apparate around the house, then there wouldn't be so many problems with the in laws.

I'm loving this story so much - even though it's all dark and angsty (which I don't normally like) you've made it all, kind of bearable because there's a vague kind of hope floating about the main characters...

Oh, no. A cliff hanger. You sure know how to put your readers on edge.
You know, I've never read a story where there was a Hermione/Snape pairing before, mostly because I thought that it would be very gross and improbable. However, I'm actually interested to see how it plays out in your story. It's certainly not a student-seducing-teacher type of thing like a lot of the others are.
Great job with the chapter! I'm so happy that their relationship is moving along the way it is. Narcissa is unusually perceptive of their sex life and it's extremely funny. Great job!

hahah i felt so embrassed for Ginny when she had to tell her mother-in-law just why she needed the potion.
i like these chapters when our love-birds are happy (and the little night time scenes don't hurt either! ;D )
can't wait for the next one!!

Ha Ha! Oh that's too funny. I can't imagine Lucius caring if Ginny is pushed around by Draco or not, though.
Poor Snape! He doesn't know what he's in for. I hope Ginny is able to reform a friendship with her though.

Thanks for the new chapter! I get so excited when I see you've updated this story. Well, when I see you've updated ANY of your stories, but especially this one.

This was such a great drama free chapter. Well with the exception of the anti-bruising potion mess lol. I really love Narcissa in your story. Poor Ginny would've gone completely mad if she didn't have her there. I can only imagine what Draco's conversation with his parents is going to be like...yikes!
I'm looking forward to reading more!

Great chapter. I liked it. Man I think that the Lucius and Draco interaction is going to be interesting. I like that she is able to get along with his mother. Will she be allowed to go out and shop or will it always be from catalog's? I cannot wait to see what happens next. Happy writing. :)

Bless your heart because this was updated so quickly! I adore this story and especially the complex relationship that Ginny and Draco possess. I am still curious as to who Leo's mother is as well. On another note, I adore the relationship Narcissa and Ginny share, I'm sure they both depend on each other for some sort of sanity outside their tumultuous lives.

I'm glad when Draco and Ginny are happy together, after everything they had to endure... It's difficult to be happy in such dark times.
It's obvious that their relationship is for real: Ginny shouldn't have so many doubts (but I can understand why she has them)
I love that Hermione is still alive (and that she's giving hell to Snape *winks*). It'll be very good for both of them if she and Ginny meet often: they definetely need it.
I will be mad too if my own parents thought that I could hurt like that somebody I love...
great chapter as always!
Author's Response: Thank you. I wanted to bring Hermione back in for comic relief. I think Draco's parent's might think him capable because of his past.
