Draco is so adorable with his attempts at wooing Ginny. He's finally in love with someone and she has no idea what to make of him. But I have this sneaky suspension that he will win her over, because he's determined.
I can't wait to see what surprises Draco has in store for Gin next :)
Author's Response: Oh, yes, Draco will Ginny over in the end. (You know me too well to think anything else, right?) She just needs to get over the shock of it all first. Thanks for the review!
oh how sad for draco, but they are so adorable, can't wait for more.
Author's Response:Sad for Draco? I suppose so. But things will turn out okay for him...eventually. ;) Thanks for reading and for the review!
I love your fic, Ihave worked in nursing homes in dietary for years. It is so easy to imagine the story in my mind. I cant tell you how many new, close frendships I have seen begin in the last years of peoples lives. I guess you are never too old for love. Keep up the good work.
Author's Response: I certainly hope that you are never too old for love, and I'm glad to hear that you have really seen it happen. It makes me feel like the story really isn't such a reach. :) Thank you very much for reading and for the review!
And then she's going to berate herself for feeling like a little girl. I love it.
Author's Response: Ginny certainly has some thinking to do! You'll get to see some of it in the next chapter. I'm glad you're still enjoying it! Thanks for the review!
I am really falling in love with this story. It’s just such an interesting idea… I don’t even really know how they must be feeling, which is odd for me as I’m generally pretty good at putting myself in other’s shoes. I mean, when a fic takes place in their youth, young adulthood, or even middle age it’s within my realm of understanding. I can’t even contemplate romance as a grandmother. I’m thrilled that you’re conquering this arena. This chapter was equally fantastic and I anxiously await more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying the story so much. I have to admit that I have some trouble putting myself in their shoes as well, but I just try to keep in mind that even if they are older, they probably react to things in much the same way anyone does, except that they have a little more experience under their belts so they might not go in for the same kinds of dramatics that teenagers might. Thank you very much for reading and for the review!
Do they have Viagra in the wizarding world?
Author's Response: *Giggles* I imagine they have a potion with similar effects. I can't imagine nobody saw the need for one. Wizards live much longer than Muggles do, after all, so would need more of it! In any event, it will be a while before Ginny and Draco need to think about that. On the other hand, Draco is male, so he might be thinking about it already. Thanks for the comment!
And the courtship begins. *grins* It'll be an interesting change to see a sophisticated and mature Draco courting Ginny, as opposed to the many teen-aged attempts made in numerous other fics.
That piano recital was very well written; I felt the emotion through your writing. It was a very interesting way for Draco to open himself up to Ginny. I look forward to seeing how Ginny will deal with all the extra attention from Draco.
Hm, would Draco be sneaky enough to plant that particular song in the music player, so that he could get Ginny to dance? I wouldn't put it past him.
Oh, and before I forget - it was great to see Draco admitting to himself that he's falling in love. A very 'aww' moment. :D
Hope to read some more soon.
Author's Response:You're too clever for me! But I won't say which comment I'm referring to, so as not to give anything away. ;)
On one hand, Draco is sophisticated and mature, but he is also in a totally new situation, so keep your eyes open. As usual, you picked out some of my favorite moments to mention. I'm glad you're still enjoying the story. I hope to update before too long. Thanks for taking the time (again) to review!
after reading a story by Lunaeyes who was giving credit to your terrific beta skills led me to remember what a terrific writer you also are - which made me check out this story. so sorry that i'm just reviewing for the first time because i love that this is fully compliant.
wow, draco is falling in love "for the first time" in his long life! i like seeing the vulnerable draco in stories, and you write it so well. the idea of them getting together this late in life is something new and interesting, i'm enjoying it. thanks for continuing to come up with wonderful fics, and the regular updates.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you are enjoying the story and it's concept so much! Draco really is vulnerable--he's being faced with something new when he least expected it. (So is Ginny for that matter!) Thank you for reading and for the review!
leaning casually on his cane *giggles* I can just picture him trying to look suave! He's certainly putting the effort in and he's determined to get what he wants ;) Poor Ginny, she seems a bit confused at the moment, but I'm sure she'll come around. After all, it would have been years since anyone paid her any romantic attention *g*
Author's Response:It really has been a long time for Ginny, so it's no surprise that she might be a little skittish. She will definitely come around soon! She just needs a little time to adjust. And Draco hasn't forgotten how to look suave, at least most of the time! Thanks for the comments!
so this is love.. do do do do. hahaha. great job. update soon! i love how you're writing this story!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!
Awww you brought back the akwardness of a Hogwart's crush all over again!
Author's Response: Well, it has been a very long time since either of them has tried dating. It's bound to be awkward! Thanks for reading!
