EEEEE!!! I loved this! I am generally an H/G shipper, but love the D/G ship as well, especially when Harry doesn't get hurt in the process. I loved the interactions between Ginny and Draco, how she slowly fell for him, very believable. Very sweet, I didn't want it to end!

Author's Response: Thank you! I can totally understand about Harry. I don't like to take him too out of character and I don't care for fics where Harry's portrayed as evil or obsessive. In this one, I saw Harry and Ginny as just having a teen romance that didn't work out. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It really is a sweet, gentle, feel-good kind of story. :)

I just reread this whole story! I forgot how much I loved it!

Author's Response: I have a big grin on my face that you found it worthy of a re-read. :) I actually re-read it myself from time to time just because it's a fun one, but my opinion is a bit biased. (but then I usually find some badly worded spot that needs to be fixed - lol) Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed! Have a great day!

wow- i really enjoyed this and stamped my feet every time the server went down!! beautiful characterisation of the strong roles carried through from school but softened with age, and i like the way you tackled the elder malfoys, it was sincere without being contrived. Also, the pressure building up with ginny's double life and the way it was resolved was lovely, and obviously as a girl i enjoyed the idea of narcissa dressing up ginny! writing style was brill, not too OTT but nicely done, by which i mean not overly-packed with obvious shift-f7'd words! sound plot, nicely executed, just the right length and well structured, written, and filled with well-drawn characters. bravo....to the other stories page!

Author's Response: Thank yo so much for your thoughtful and thorough review!!! I am so happy that you enjoyed my work. This was one of my earlier stories, and it was written for a fic exchange in only about five weeks, so I often look back and see things that I might have changed. However, I am so glad that some of the characters come through and it's always nice to know that a reader sees what I had hoped to attain. Thank you again, so very much.
Best wishes!

Awww I loved this story. I can definitely see why it won an award for best portrayal of Ginny. I wish the sequel was up!

Author's Response: Thanks very much! She does have some spunk in this one. :) I did start the sequel but I have 2 other stories that are unfinished, so I've made a promise to myself to get those done before I work on any others. Thanks soo much for the feedback! Hugs! -G

It was so beautifuly devistating that I even got teary. Draco's reactions were logical, reasonable, and exactly what I expected. Wonderful.

Again... The Weasley family being reasonable surprises me. lol. Well it seems that Draco and Ginny took the necessary step towards an actual relationship. It was nice to watch the slight awkwardness that goes with the feel of 'not knowing' where the guy stands.

Author's Response: Oh I hope you liked that the family seems "sensible". It's something that often bugs me in other stories, because their reactions are so outlandish that I can't relate to them at all. I was hoping for something that made sense to people, where they are cautious, but accepting.

HAHAHA!!! Like I said "Fred and George would be proud." I can always and forever say that those two will make me miss my brothers all the more since we're all older and moved out and stuff.

Another great chapter with some great little addets I hadn't seen much of before. This time they came in form of a nearly sensible Weasley family reaction. Very nice.
Name: Skitzophrenick reviewed Chapter 7 - The Ball on Feb 19, 2010 04:29 am
lol. That was both beautiful and adorable. I must say I also like the fact that Draco and Ginny didn't let the 'cinderella night' change their feelings for one another too drastically.

I swear you've made so many great decisions with the writing of this story. It's something to be commended.

Wow this chapter had a lot of important things that are usually disregarded when it comes to Lucius. The mental scarring and fear in Ginny as well as her continued nervousness while he had the sense to apologize. I'm stunned to see it and equally just as stunned to realize just how rare it is in post-hogwarts stories.

lol. I wonder what Draco's gonna think of Francine. It's cute to see Ginny get all noble on the matter of lying to the Slytherin coach. Thought that was touching.

Ginny swatting faeries is full so 'win'.

And lol. Draco, already plotting the minute he arrived.

Yeah, found this story even before you wrote me about it :)
This is really sweet :)) I love the faeries :) But I would have liked a scene where she told her family about her and Draco to see there reactions, that was a great matter/problem for them in the story, but you didn't really write about the outcome of it. Everything else was just lovely!
But I can't find the sequel that you told about. Hope it's coming up soon.

Author's Response: Thank you! This was a short story that I wrote in about one month so I kept it simple. I've started a sequel, but I only have a chapter or two written. I have other projects that need to be finished first. Greatly appreciate the feedback!!!

You write: *Just be kind in your wording and be specific about why it's awful, so that I can improve. * As an author I know exactly what you mean, but as I reader, what the hell can I tell you? You are probably your worst critic. Even if I find some typos or comma errors (which, enarmoed as I am with your story, is unlikely), it won't make your story 'awful'. You know the fic is great, if you didn't know it, wouldn't be writing it, right? Even with some mistakes it could never be awful. Please, don't put yourself down like that. I know you didn't mean to be hypocritical, but somehow it sounds that way. I'm sorry, I don't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm pretty much in love with the way you are telling this story and can't wait to find out how this 'Frankie' situation plays out. I love your improved Draco and how he lets Ginny breath, although she's being a tad unreasonable. Thanks for writing the story.

Author's Response: LOL... thank you for the feedback. I don't recall exactly why I put that in, but this was my first real story and was quite paranoid about it. Glad that you are enjoying the story and looking forward to your thoughts when you reach the final chapter. :)

And I wonder if a part of Draco entertains a notion that if he dated Ginny, his family would look even better in the wizarding wold's eyes. Very enjoyable and so far quite realistic story. No unearthly overly dramatic passion between the two. I like it very much.

Author's Response: Well, Draco is a Slytherin, so I'm sure he's certainly open to opportunity. Glad you like it! :)
