I'm terribly sorry I haven't reviewed this chapter yet, I lost the internet until last weekend :S
No, you cannot leave us like that!! WHY haven't you updated in...what, a MONTH??
Anyway, this is another brilliant chapter! I hate seeing Ginny and Draco arguing..it tears me up. Especially the way you write it. Its so perfect. Everything you write is so perfect.
Im so happy that Draco is finally going to let Ginny in and show her whats bothering him! But..i'm a little scared of whats to come, to tell you the truth.
Keep it up, and you should definitely update!!
Author's Response: The update's coming soon, I promise! I'm so glad you've liked the chapters, and I hope the next one lives up to your expectations. Thanks for reviewing.

Sorry about my basic disappearance...I really loved the last few. Tension keeps building and finlly it comes to a head...which I suspect isn't really the proverbial head...
When James and Albus came I knew something was coming...I didn't expect Sectumsempra....that was a surprise that really shouldn't have surprised anyone...but SURPRISE!!!
And I was wondering where would he laern such a curse like tha tif only Snape and Harry knew it? Is daddy teaching to boys to play unfairly? I would hope so ;)
I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see how Ginny reacts to seeing Draco's memories....I can't wait for that, but you and your cliff hangers will be the death of this poor reader! :)
Anyway this review is probably monster long so I'll cut it now. I loved this chapter, one of my favorites of the story!!
Anxiously waiting for the next update...
Author's Response: I am finally getting around to responding to reviews, because, surprise, I'm writing again. The next chapter should be up soon. For the record, James did not cast Sectumsempra, but merely had a magical accident. I'm hoping that you'll all be back to read the latest chapter as I delve back into this story. :)

I like Post Hogwart stories.
Yours intrigues me for several reason: James and Scorpius were not disciplined after drawing their wants on each other resulting with one injury, Harry and Ginny's family are the bad guys for not accepting a decision Ginny took to have an adulterous affair resulting in a child her husband thought was his own and a subsequent divorce and a quick second marriage, and finally the couple doesn't communicate over the important parts of their past, thoughts or feelings. It feels like a regular everyday Muggle family set into a magical space.
My question as I've been reading is do they care about what the present and future are shaping into as they maintain their space and distance? At this point I am more sympathetic to Draco than I am for Ginny. Ginny hasn't paid for her choice to leave him, come back expecting him to receive him with open arms, and then guilting him into returning to a place he fled because she only consider her worldview. When it does gel together like a perfect blended family, she wants to know why he won't 'talk' to her?
Life is hard enough. I am reminded that being self absorbed is one thing but being convinced Ginny's best intentions are best for all is something else.
Author's Response: This is such an amazing review. James, I think, feels bad enough as it is. Scorpius, the little weasel, kind of snaked out of punishment by getting injured, and then his father can't bare to discipline him. I'm glad you see the whole dysfunctional family as something you would see in a regular house, because that's really how it is. Ginny will come around. These next few chapters are going to be very important for her.

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I read this story from the beginning, and have now reached that terrible, horrible, no good, very bad point where the author has just completed the newest chapter and I am forced to wait for the next dose of happiness just like everyone else, and can no longer just push that wonderful little 'next' button at the bottom of the page because the 'next' has gone and deserted me! Oh, the terror, the horror, the woe...
Author's Response: Oooooh. I'm sorry, I hate when that happens! I've had a busy week, but I'm working on the next dose. Hang in there! Thanks for the review.

I don't like Harry's kids. Who is Harry dating? Sorry for the disjointed review. I'll be looking for more.
Author's Response: Who Harry is dating will resurface, but it's not important at all. And I'm sure you're not alone on that opinion of his kids. Thanks for the review!

Honesty is the best policy. God, this story is so addicting, and it flows so neatly. Oh their tempers *shakes head* sometimes stubbornness gets in the way while other times it helps... a little.

Oh I can understand Draco's confusion. Trying to tell the person you love something you don't want them to know is horrible. Especially when you can't relive it yourself. The Pensieve sounds like a good way to get past those demons.

You know I don't really know who to feel sorry for! I feel for Ginny, the way she is being treated by Draco, and then Draco for his past. I guess I will just say I feel for the kids in this situation. I can't wait to read more of this wonderful story! :)

Yay, another chapter up! I'm really glad Ginny and Draco are talking and that he's going to show her what's haunting him. It's really the only way a relationship can remain strong and healthy.
I also really think Ginny's expecting a bit much if she wants him to apologize. She's angry because Draco's anger hurt her sons' feeling, but he's not allowed to be angry that his son was almost killed?
Great chapter, can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: You're very right about the communication thing. And many, many issues are about to come out. They both have to realize their mistakes. Ginny was being overprotective of her son and not understanding of Draco's feelings, while Draco did the same to her. Thanks for the review!

nothing like a little sibling jealousy there to see that scorpius is back to normal, which is good. "i am in pain!"... lol. i'm afraid i don't get what ginny is so angry about, after all draco had been 'more' in the right. ;) even though this ended in another cliffie (as i said before, evil!), it's good that we are finally at this point. they are both finding it hard to say what needs to be said, and draco is so anguished that i'm almost relieved he's finally going to share his demons with ginny. good or bad, make or break? waiting to exhale...
fantastic job as usual. thanks.
Author's Response: Aw, Scorpius. He is something. As for Ginny's anger, Embellished and I really struggled to get that right, and while I tried to make it as followable as I could under Draco's POV, you're going to have to wait until next chapter to see where that's coming from. And big things are coming in terms of those demons, that's all I can say. Thanks for yet another spectacular review!

I'm so glad to see you update but what a Ahhh a cliffie! It was nice to see Scorpius resting at home with Draco and Lilly but I sure did miss Ginny being there. However, I do understand she had to make sure James and Albus were ok once they went back home. I bet she had tons of explaining to do.
Lilly's excitement over her broom was so cute. Scorpious had me cracking up with his pouting over Lily's broom being better than his.
I hate all of the inner turmoil Draco is going through, it's so heart breaking. I have to tell you that I am VERY happy to see Draco finally sharing them with Ginny. I do believe once she sees him demons she'll better understand where he's coming from and why he's been acting like this. I'm hoping this will help them move forward.
As always, I can't wait to read more! Thank you : - )
Author's Response: Oh, another long, wonderful review. Scorpius is getting back to normal, yes. Nothing like his baby sister getting an amazing broom to wound his pride. It's good that he's sharing, but don't be too happy too soon. I can promise you the next chapter will be painful for the both of them, obviously.

Wow. Good idea, using "Sectumsempra" and having James cast it; talk about a blast from the past!
As always: love it and can't wait for the next one! :)
Author's Response: No, no, my friend. NOT Sectusempra. Both boys were using relatively harmless spells, but cast at the same time, and then a little accident occurred. Draco is merely comparing it to his experience with Harry. And thanks for yet another review, I'm so glad you liked the chapter!
