Please don't kill Draco. Please don't kill Draco. Please don't kill Draco.
Author's Response: I seem to be getting a lot of *strong* requests along that line. My beta has threatened to do terrible things to me if I do... LOL... we'll see... :)
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Write faster aahhhhhhh.....
I love this story so much. you must be getting really annoyed with reading that with like, EVERY post, and not getting much detail as to WHY I like it and what you could change to make it better, (which I know from personal experience is really annoying ahaha, I'd be writing novels of it's goodness if I tried to do it here, though,) but I hope that my shrieking about how awesome this story is and how much I wish you wrote publishable works every time you post is enough to at least keep you motivated :D.
also, just quickly, the relationships seem very, very real. I'm glad you didn't pull one of those "Draco saved Remus so now they're best friends" because that, let's face it, would not happen.
update soon please please please! :D

Author's Response: Oh, thank you for saying that the relationships seem real. I put so much thought into that, so it's wonderful to know that it shows.
Gosh, I wish I could write faster. The story is actually finished in draft form, but I'm still a novice writer and need to really review and rework. (to see what happens if I don't, read my older stuff on ff.net) But your lovely comments really do make the effort worthwhile. I might be a little slow, but I promise that I will never abandon a fic.
Love, and hugs

o wow. everytime you update i get excited :D and this chapter was great!!
Author's Response: Oh! I'm so glad that you liked! was a bit worried because the d/g action was minimal for this one.
Thank you so much (again)
Hugs!

Oh, they were caught! What fun! I've been waiting for this chapter for FOREVER! :) Off to 15 I go!
Author's Response: LOL! Glad you enjoyed! :D
omg!!great chapter!!awesome..love it..do update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks! next chap is done, but I'm waiting for some feedback.
*crying tears of buckets* oh dear... but i just know that there's something dark and awful that's gonna happen soon :(
Author's Response: She did need a bit of a break. Glad you enjoyed. Working hard on the next chap... Thank you!!!!
Really hope another update is on its way...
Author's Response: I tried... I really tried to work on chap 23 over the weekend, but the weather was too nice! I had to be outside. :D But I promise it will be up soon.
Me Loves Loopholes! Can't wait to read it. Sorry that this is my first review. I just haven't wanted to stop reading long enough to do it. But loopholes always deserve reviews!
that was lovley, :D good for ginny to be home
Author's Response: Thank you so much! This was a very moving chapter for me. I think that it is my favorite scene of the entire story. Glad you liked.
Many thanks for this very quick update. Your writing is amazing, I love this chapter. Every thing is just fine. So Harry and Hermione think that Ginny is expecting Lucius' child. They don't know Draco and Ginny are in love and had an affair.
I can't wait for the next one.
Author's Response: A bit more will be clarified next chapter. I'm finally happy to be coming to the end, so I get to give you some answers to the questions that came up in early chapters. There are still a few chapters to go... so there is still some adventure to come. :) Thanks for being such a wonderful reviewer!
Best wishes!

I like it so for! although I can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen... lol Thanks for the two chapters in a week :D Made my week a hella lot better.
Author's Response: With a little luck, next will be out soon. Thanks for letting me know you still like it! It's a bit longer than I originally planned. :D
All together now... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Author's Response: LOL! Thanks. :D
:')
I see you're really packing in all the sweetest in these chapters :D
that was both nice and sad. and great scene with Bella! I still love her, even though she's crazy :P

Author's Response: Thanks so much. I worry about having too many "nice" chapters in a row. After all, Lucius is still out there and who knows what Bella is going to do (well, I do... but that's beside the point LOL) Thanks very much. The scene with Ginny going home really was very moving for me to write, so I'm glad you enjoyed.
sorry
i just read my review and it was a lousy one
i mean, sure i was happy about her cmoing home but they were so passionite last chapter thati was kinda expecting to see more of the 2 of them.
Family is always nice, but i think i'm in a phase where i'm much more into romance than family.
i was hoping we could see more into Draco and Ginny's relationship, waiting for the to have so much more but then hermione came over and i really don't like hermione and Harry on the fics so i was kinda sad that there was no more interaction between D/G and then you made him cold and away from her so i was disappointed, i was hoping for a few more moments of passion before the whole family thing, instead i got a bucket of ice water on the romance department so it made it harder for me to enjoy family hour.
;/
Sorry if i had a hard time expressing myself at first is just that my first reviews are very passionite because i review as soon as i read so i tend to go single minded on one subject.
Please don't be sad, it was a really great chapter now taht i've read it again, i love the whole changing the clck thing and the way Arthur reacted when he saw gin, it got me all warmhearted... but i can't stop thinknig about how Draco must have felt all throught this and how Ginny feels about harry being so close to her when she hasn't have contact with him for so long then hermione came pushing her in Harry's way and it got me mad.
it was very comforting to see this chapter and Arthur's and Ginny's reaction are some that i know well from going to being away through a near death(in this case, death) experience and then back home.
i even related with the feeligns of going around the house and seeing something so yours taht belongs to your family(aka: the watch hand) and see your room and everything. is just a wonderful, warm fuzzy feeling and you portraited it marvelously!
=D
Sorry if i forgot to say this sooner!
kisses
Author's Response: Nothing is wrong with your review, hon! You have your feelings and that's perfectly great to express them. :) What one person loves about the story, another person will dislike. That's just the way it goes and I'm totally ok with that. Now, if the writing was outright bad.. that's something I need to know about, because my hope is to become a better writer, and I can't do that if all I get back is "that was great" kind of comments.
So thanks once again... and I'm off to work on that next chapter
finally!!! things are looking up:) i can't wait for them to find out about d/g and i'm curious to see what lucius's take on this is
Author's Response: Ahhh! Next chapter things start to come out. I just have this one, strange little transitional thing to work out and it should be good to go to beta. :)
=S
Not your best chapter, i mean the very beginning, before Hermione showed u was retty much perfect
than things went south...
why is Draco so cold?
And by the way, does he know the kid is his?
'cause he doesn't seem to know and doesn't seem happy about it or anythign like that
i'm beginning to think he's not as wonderful as he seemed before Hermione showed up.
did i mention i don't like her?
and least of all Harry?
I specially don't like eople pushing ginny and harry together!
and i never liked molly(not even in the movies), is she just gonna go still and watch Gin?
I sooo want more chaters!
I loved this "surprise" update by the way!
;D
kisses
Author's Response: Wow...bummer. I'm a bit surprised because I felt that Ginny coming home was possibly one of the most moving and powerful scenes I've ever written, and it's my personal favorite of the entire story. So... ouch. Unfortunately, I felt that there's a bit more going on here, and as for Draco... he's got a lot on his mind right now, and he doesn't feel comfortable about it. Oh well....no matter what I write, I can't please everyone.
Wonderfully done chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! It truly is my fave. While I was writing the part about her looking around the house, I thought it was very moving, and I got all choked up. To show the relationship with her parents, I thought gave a bit of depth to the character, and also tied back to how she felt at the beginning when she looked around the house before she left for the last time.
Oh the happiness! I hope it can last, but I'll be glad to see how everything pans out. I can't wait for another chapter. This is one of my favorites.
Author's Response: Kind of a bittersweet happiness, but yes, a bit of happiness nonetheless. :D Glad you continue to enjoy the story! Thanks!
I am so happy that Ginny can be with her family again! But somehow I don't think it will be smooth sailing quite yet...
Author's Response: Not quite yet... no. We still have a Dark Lord that is out there. :D Thanks!
:'-) i can't believe she's actually home. wow. wow. wow. i really hope that it stays that way. aww i so loved the ending of this chapter. is it me or does it feel the story's coming to a close? :(
Author's Response: I'm guessing 6 or 7 chapters more? Maybe more, if they get long and I have to break them up a little. Glad you enjoyed it. This scene was my personal favorite to write. I'm getting excited because got some cool stuff coming up.
It was a sweet chapter, I love it.
I hope Lucius will not find out about Ginny. I wonder what's going to happen next. Keep up your great writing. Cheers.
Author's Response: Thanks! This type of chapter is quite a challenge, so I appreciate the feedback. So happy you enjoyed. :D
I love how this story has progressed. I feel like I know what is going to happen next but I really don't. I think that Lucius will find out but then again you never know...
Author's Response: Thank you! I did try to keep the story moving forward and developing as it goes. The mood changes a little here, but still a few chapters to go! Best wishes! G
I love it. I just am now terrified as to what will go wrong next chapter...
Author's Response: Glad that I have you all trained to be a bit on edge. :D Thanks so much!!!!
That's the good thing about being an internet author, you don't have to splatter your face all over the place!
You can keep it hidden and leave the naughty side of your come out to play.
I know people who are as shy as to not being able to talk to a teacher!
And they write a heck of a lot of smut, it's really amazing how you can just put on a mask and be free!
;D
Also, your husband seems wonderful!
if you inspired such an amazing Draco on him, he must be the most wonderful husband(second only to Draco who i'm maddly in love with ;D ).You're lucky to have him!
