Oh I hope Ginny gives him a run before she allows him to be with her completely...he's so arrogant! but i love it, of course, haha.
Author's Response: Don't worry, he's not done with the jealousy yet. It comes back later... :)

I love this story and can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I really appreciate you. It might be a couple of days before I put up ch 10. I tried to speed up again, and am still recovering from the beating I got because I had too many mistakes in my last post. Ouch.

Hehe, a jealous Draco is always amusing to see. It's amazing how quickly Draco and Ginny can go from kissing in a faerie garden to being hostile towards one another. But then that's what makes D/G so interesing.
By the way, I love Camille's reactions; they're totally what I would do: squeal in surprise and then pester for more details. It was fun reading it. :)
Author's Response: He really is my favorite character. So spoiled, yet in an endearing way. Thanks!

Chapter 7 - The Ball on May 31, 2008 12:17 am
*sigh* That whole scene with Ginny getting dressed up for the ball is wonderful. It's every girl's dream and you've expressed Ginny's awestruck wonder at it all - and her handsome prince ;) - very well.
Hehe, it's silly, but when Draco was taking Ginny to the ball and flirting with her, it felt like all was right in the world. It's very cute.
She hoped she could get someone to take a picture so she could remember this.
*snorts* When I read this line, I thought that Ginny must be rather deluded in thinking that her hosting with England's most elegible batchelor wouldn't cause more than a few pictures in the papers. Hehe. She's going to get quite a shock.
She floated over the dance floor as if she were a young girl at her first ball.
Ginny's observation of Narcissa during the dancing was lovely. And I also particularly enjoyed reading that moment when Lucius and Narcissa said goodnight to their son.

Good chapter. You seemed to over analyze Draco's reasonings towards the end. It was unnecessary. Overall, wonderful job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'll look it over again and see if I can cut that back. It's one of those types of things that I need to hear from you wonderful reviewers!

Chapter 5 - The Big Week Begins on May 27, 2008 01:01 pm
“Oh, puh-leeze!” ... “Next he'll be dipping the end of my braid into the ink pot, is that what you're saying?”
Hehe, Ginny doesn't realise how close she struck to the mark.
I particularly liked Ginny's reaction to seeing Lucius; it felt entirely natural that she would have such an aversion to meeting him, and Lucius' apology was certainly needed for Ginny to ever feel comfortable in his presence.
My favourite part of this chapter, however, has to be when Draco gently guides Ginny into the study after her talk with Lucius. That simple gesture says so much. It's the little things that make this story all the more interesting.
I'm glad to hear that there are more stories to come - and long ones at that! (I'm a sucker for lengthy fics) :D
Author's Response: So glad you like it. I need the encouragement. rnYeah, but likely not for a couple of months. I've got a bit more work to do in some of the filler chapters, so it's less interesting to write. It involves nymphs and centaurs and lots of magical theory.... but that's for another topic.

Damn, you sure do post quick. It's such a refreshing change from others. Good chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! Unfortunately, I may have to slow down a bit. I'm getting bashed for some of my typos, so I've got to weed through my stuff a bit more thoroughly.

Good chapter. Can't wait to read about the try outs.
I know what you mean about some horrible accents. I once met a Japanese girl that spent some time in England and picked up traces of a Cockney accent. I still shudder when I think about it.
Author's Response: Oh my gosh.... I'm trying to imagine that. It gave me a good chuckle. :)

Chapter 3 - The Price of Success on May 24, 2008 10:33 am
I thouroughly enjoyed reading this story on the dgficexchange and it's great to read it again here on FIA. This was one of my favourites in the fic exchange, as it has a lovely plot and very well fleshed-out characters. I really hope to read more of your stories, as I like your writing style very much.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It was a joy to write. Hopefully you like it better here. I actually did quite a bit of rewriting to get rid of rough areas. The length of the fic was rather aggressive for the short time frame I had for the exchange. When I re-read it, I was mortified at how rough some areas were, so this posting should be a bit nicer to read. And yes, I do have 2 other fics in progress, but I don't post until I'm very close to being done. Those might be a little while as they are much longer than this one.

I wondered what angle you would take with the quidditch. Cool! Great chapter. Can't wait to read more about Narcissa and Ginny's no doubt soon-to-be blooming relationship. =)
Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Yes. I can't believe Quidditch became so important in the story. I actually tended to dislike the descriptions of the Quidditch matches in the HP books. Funny how that comes back to haunt. :)

Nice interpretation of Ginny. Your description of her made it very easy to connect with or at least appreciate. Good job!
Author's Response: Thanks - I'm so glad you like her. A friend of mine who read this recently pointed out that she's me. While I did take some personal experience to build her character, I didn't realize I'd made her so close to my own personality. :)

This was really cute and original. I enjoyed your depiction of the faeries. It was very refreshing to have Ginny work as a caterer. In short, I really like this story and I'll be reading on.... Keep up the good work!!
Author's Response: Thanks! This whole story started with the idea of Ginny swatting at faeries. I love magical creatures. Then I started thinking of reasons why she might be swatting at them and the story emerged. Thanks for the review!!!
