Oh my goodness! Are you trying to insinuate that Lily is really Draco's little girl? WOW! I am so glad that you got back with another exciting chapter. It can be slow but I know you are working us up to the moment and then all of a sudden BAAM!
I love how you got Ginny to head to Prague to the SLEEPING DRAGON. Very sneaky of you, I love it!
Author's Response: It's a steady build up. I'm glad you're enjoying Draco's portrayal as the Dragon. :)

Oh dear. This will be quite interesting. I can't believe she left Draco because she thought she was having Harry's baby and the baby ended up being Draco's. And now they're most likely going to run into Draco. I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for leaving a review. It is a definite twist. Next chapter should be up later in the week!

Wow! I love how you've tied in everything...and how you protray Ginny's feelings - she seems so sure one moment and then the next, BOOM! She pregnant and unsure. Keep writing! Keep me posted!
Author's Response: Thanks very much! I hope you continue to read as I post!

*sigh* poor Draco. poor Ginny. What a sad start to what could have been beautiful (although, I don't exactly condone cheating... but for this story, it works!)
Author's Response: I don't condone adultery at all either, but to rectify the epilogue, I felt it was necessary. Thanks for the review!

Awww...poor Draco! :( But yay for a great chapter and Prague! I live there (here?) actually so if you ever have any questions, I'd be glad to help out with logistics and such.
Author's Response: Yes, I'm very sad for him as well. You do! That's incredible. I visited over the summer, which is why I chose the city, but I may certainly take you up on the offer.

I really enjoyed the way you began this chapter. You really got into the head of a young mother. And Harry? Typical insensitive husband to young mother. Good job. I loved the conversation with Ginny and Draco over dinner. I'm looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thanks very much for the review. I was trying to put the Ginny that we see at Hogwarts into the job of a new mother, and I'm glad you thought it was well portrayed. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on chapters to come, as well.

So at first I was a little bit put-off by Ginny's explosion, because it seemed a little extreme. I feel as though Ginny wouldn't let emotions build up inside of her to that extent before blowing up. Inside my head, she's a bit more practical and laid-back. ie. If some situation or person bothers her, she'll let the person know, practically and simply. However, besides that--LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Especially where I think the plot is going. :) It's such an inventive way to tweak that darn last chapter of DH. And of course the Draco+Ginny+Paris could never go wrong. I can't wait for your next chapter, much like I couldn't wait for this second one. Again, LOVE the idea. Cheers!
Author's Response: Thanks for explaining what you liked and did not like. I myself always saw Ginny as a very fiery person, and that is why I wrote her outburst. But I appreciate your thoughts very much. Thanks for such thoughtful comments!

OH its Casablanca!! My favourite movie! I've had this bunny running around in my head for almost a year and haven't been able to get it started. I can't wait to see what you do with it! I await it eagerly.
Author's Response: It is! I'm glad I can fulfill the plot bunny, it's been running around in my head for a little while too. Thanks for the reivew!

Hmmm, Casablanca much? Interesting backstory you came up with for that, even though I can't quite imagine Ilsa and Rick with the same plot.
Author's Response: Yes, thanks for catching it! I was inspired to write this story because of Casablanca, although its ending and middle aren't as similar as the beginning. The only direct quote from the movie comes in chapter four. But good for you for noticing!

Talk about sleeping through your life. Poor Draco and Ginny, it must be pure torture for Ginny to be pregnant and get through life with the kids knowing that her man Draco is out there bitter about their breakup. Crying over their loss. God, I love this story!!! thank you for the shout out!
Author's Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the lovely review. I hope you continue to enjoy the story.

so does that mean that she is staying in paris? oh i hope she does, but she pobably wont because she has to go back to harry....but it would be better if harry's kids were his from a previous marriage not from theirs. that would make me happy but i most likely wont happen.
i cant wait for another chapter..it isn't a one shot is it? i dont think it is because im eagerly awating another chappie.
good luck!!

Author's Response: Unfortunately, no. Ginny is going home. And Albus and James are hers and Harry's kids. But good news: it's not a one shot. It will be updated within the week.

This is such a great start to the story. But she CAN'T leave Draco. That'd be so cold. She needs to divorce Harry. He doesn't deserve her.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. You're right, he doesn't. But ah...sometimes life is not fair.

But it's obviously Draco's child! I decree that she shall divorce Harry, take her boys to Paris, and marry Draco. Of course there will be much angst before that happens, but that is all right.
Author's Response: Lots of angst. But we'll see. Remember, fully compliant. :) Thanks for the review!

Oh NO!!!!!
I was sooo into your version of what happened with Draco and Ginny! It was absolutely great. I felt just as sad as Ginny when she realized that she had to go back to Harry and the children. What is going to happen? How did they break it off with one another?
Fabulous!

Draco's wife leaving him was/is a nice touch.

Wow. So many things happening and it's only the first chapter. I can't wait to see what hapens when Ginny tells Draco she's leaving him or what happens when he finds out she's pregnant. I have a feeling that it's going to be Draco's child too. *uh oh!*
Author's Response: It was a very busy chapter. Thanks so much for leaving the review. I hope you stick around to see how it all unfolds. Cheers, Lunaeyes
