Oh I'm crying too! I hope I have a son like Albus...Wonderfully written! can't wait for the wedding!
Author's Response: I assume you mean that you want a son like Albus when he is being sweet, not when he is being a pigheaded prat, right? :) I'm glad that you liked the chapter. Thanks for the review!

I knew Albus would come to his senses! I love this story so and I have bittersweet feelings about the next chapters being the last ones.
Author's Response: I'm happy that you are enjoying the story so much, but I'm afraid it must come to an end. If I kept it going, it would end up being really boring! Thank you so much for your review!

He's going to give her away?! Ah! That's too cute for words! I'm so glad he came around. Otherwise, I was going to have to knock some sense into him! Only one chapter left? Oh dear. That's so bittersweet.
Author's Response: I think Albus's wife knocked some sense into him for you! I'm glad that you liked it, though. Thanks for the review!

Aww! What a lovely ending to the chapter. Melanie's advice to Albus was very well thought out; it's a very believable in that Ginny's rather stubborn streak would mean that if not for Albus' apology, there would be a rift between mother and son for a long time to come. Heh, I wonder what Albus said to Scorpius? I'm sure the latter enjoyed the moment, though.
It's sweet how Draco comes to Ginny's side whenever he thinks she may have need of him.
The gentle integration of the two families was explained well and it was amusing to see Draco almost surprised that he's enjoying himself.
I can't believe that there's only one more chapter left. I don't want this to end! It's been fun reading of the more mature Draco and Ginny and their romance.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed those parts of the story. I think of Melanie as very level-headed, and very, very good at talking Albus into things. (By the way, I have no idea what Albus said to Scorpius!) I see Draco as very protective, both of Ginny and his children, so I'm happy that came across. Thanks, as always, for the review!

wonderful! you wrote the whole scene so well, it's like i'm watching a movie in my mind. i'm picturing scorpius to be an entertaining (dramatic entrance), funny (justine-speak), genial version of draco despite his school rivalry with albus whom i'm blaming for it, if he's more obstinate than harry. but i'm glad albus came around, and his offer to give ginny away is just the right touch (heart, heart!). now i'm off to search yahoo for a ginger biscuit recipe... your description is such that i can almost taste it.
you're brilliant as usual, but... only one short chapter left!!! make it a long one pleeaassee. thank you.
Author's Response: Thanks you! Scorpius took on a life of his own in this story--he refused to be the person I had in mind. I'm glad he turned out so well! By the way, there's a really excellent recipe for Molasses cookies at the end of my story "Baking Lessons"--they've got ginger in them in addition to the molasses, and I highly recommend them!

When I started to read this story I thaught: What? Old Draco and Ginny? No, thanks. But I read a few lines and realised that it was well written, at least. So, afterwards, when I was, as always, looking for new good stories, with a good and interesting plot and good writing and I couldn't find any, I remembered this one and come back to it.
Good thing I did. It is great. For me (and I give emphasis to the "for me") the most important things in good stories are consistent characters, good plots and good writing. Congratulations!
Author's Response: I'm glad that you came back to the story too! It certainly isn't for everyone, but I'm glad you found all of the things you look for in good writing here. I work hard to make my stories as believable as possible, and it is really encouraging to hear that I am on the right track. Thanks for reading and for the review!

Awww, Albus! I'm impressed Ginny kept from crying for as long as she did. I don't think I would have been able to. The party was lovely! I'm looking forward to "The Big Day." :o)
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the party! I think Ginny was a little too surprised to cry at first, if that makes any sense. But you knew it had to happen eventually! :) Thanks for the review!

What a tear-jerker *sniffles* The final scene with Albus was just wonderful. I'm so glad he finally realized what a prat he was being *g*
Author's Response: Albus's really is a good guy down deep--he gets too caught up in things sometimes. He has lots of family to help keep him on the right path though! Thanks for the review!
