What a cliff hanger. Did Ginny get locked in the bottle? I'll be waiting to find out.
Author's Response: I'm glad it's pulled you in so far. At the risk of sounding like a suck-up (pretty sure I'm gonna fail here), you're one of my favorite authors :)

No, you can't just end it there! What a terrible cliffhanger to end on! I hope that the next chapter is soon in coming, as I'm looking forward to reading more of this story. The description of Ginny's search of the Malfoy mansion is what I particularly enjoyed; I could feel how on edge Ginny was as she methodically searched through each room. The part in which you described Lucius' quick flurry of movement to incapacitate Ginny was very well written. The list of actions, punctuated by the semi-colons gave it a very action-packed, fast paced feel.
I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: I'm glad you felt the action in that particular paragraph, that's exactly what I was working towards. Thanks so much for your review, I will try and update asap :)

Sweet! I can't wait to find out what happens next!
And LOL to the Death Eaters having papers that directly say 'Blueprint' on them. Seems very mustache-twirly of them : D
Author's Response: Haha you're awesome for catching that :D Thanks so much for the review!

So the story begins with a typical Weasley argument. It's funny- it's a fairly common scene in stories, but it never, ever gets old. (Mostly because there are so many ways Ron and Ginny can argue, and I've got an older brother myself.)
I can't imagine the Malfoy's having a lemur statue. Yes, I picture them as supremely rich, and therefore into expensive art, but somehow I see their taste as more classic. But I don't know how much humor you intend to have in this...
A minor detail I was particularly touched by was the fact the carpet was wine red. So many people completely green-out the manor. Thanks for that! :)
I thought it was a creative twist to have Lucius as the person under the cloak, because of course I assumed it was going to be Draco. Now I am inticipating the actual meeting of the two even more.
I am still trying to work out who did each action in the second-to-last paragraph.
Overall, it was easy to read, and I really want the next chapter to appear soon!
Author's Response: I've always thought Ron's a great character to have an argument with.rnI like writing random humor, and the lemur was evidence of that, haha. rnThank you for noticing the wine-red carpet! I thought briefly about making it green, but for one it's way too obvious, and secondly it sounds really tacky to me.rnThe Lucius thing...if you read my other fic you'll see that I like to take my time with the Draco and Ginny interaction ;)rnThe confusing second-to-last paragraph was intentional, as I wanted to give out that hectic vibe. Ginny is basically supposed to be absolutely blindsided. Though if you really want to know, Ginny drops the parchment and yells out a curse - hence Lucius being cut in the arm at the end. Everything else is him.rnThank you so much for you review, I love knowing what the reader thinks. And I'm glad you like it so far :)
