Haha. Naked Draco dreams. Oh, my. Thanks for the bit of fluff. They deserved it and I love seeing Draco fall for her without realizing it. I loved how you've written him. He's sweet.

Author's Response: Ohmygosh... I'd totally forgotten I put that in! I must have been very tired and my horrible sense of humor leaked out. But it's making you all leave reviews, so that's a good thing!!! :)
Thanks so much. Happy dreams! :)

Thanks for the feedback. I look forward to logging on and seeing the reviews just as much as you like to log on and see the chapters. Thanks

:) I'm so glad you had extra time to update. I loved the bit of fluff- they do need some happiness :)

It was a great chapter, we got a little bit of D/G action going on!! I really like how Draco helps get the letters to Ginny's family. Lucius is such a horrid person, how much more does poor Ginny have to put up with? I can't wait till the next chapter is done!

Author's Response: She has a little bit more to deal with, unfortunately, but things will be getting more interesting. Next chapter is written and should be up in a few days. Thanks so much for the feedback!

lol the author's note made me giggle. This chapter was exceptionally cute, but there is always something sweet before the storm blows in.

Author's Response: Yes. Needed some transition and to get to see our characters in a little more depth. I was feeling pretty bad for Ginny and had to give her a good day. :)

THIS STORY IS SO GOOD!!!:D

i'm LOVING the tension :D

please update soon!

Author's Response: You think it's tense reading, you should have seen me writing it. :) The main reason Faerie Tales was so cute was because I needed to write something that was completely opposite of this story. Next chapter should be up soon, after a bit more review. Thanks so much for being such a wonderful reviewer.

No, no! I'm not worried; they did need a little sunshine. The swamp was a fantastic touch! :o) Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I wrote this chap so long ago, that I don't even recall where the idea for the swamp came from. It is fun though. Thanks for letting me now that you liked it!!!

The way you eased into his passing notes back and forth between Ginny and her brothers was perfect! I loved the riding lessons too.

I'm worried about Lucius's bad mood, what started that? Was it just a bad day or is there some bigger plan in the works that's not going as planned...?

Author's Response: In this particular case, he was just in a bad mood. Although, there are plans afoot in the Ministry that we'll find out about soon. Thanks for the feedback!!!

What a tender moment when Draco was holding a crying Ginny in his arms.. :) I'm really enjoying this, it's great :)



Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it. As I said, I had a terrible time with the chapter, and after reading it again, I still find it rough. It's good to know that at least the stuff I was hoping for did come across. Best wishes

Brilliant! I love this story and can't wait to see where it is going! Definitely a new favorite! I usually don't like stories that have sexual violence but you make it just subtle enough that it makes you feel for her but doesn't make you completely sick.

Author's Response: Thank you. I didn't want the story to center around that, so, I'm glad to know that it is hitting the mark. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me.

Once again you did an awsome chapter. I love how the interaction is growing, not only between Draco and Ginny (although that's the best) but with Fred and George as well. Even though they don't know how much she's suffering you can tell it's affecting them too. I love how Draco is willing to deal with them just to make her smile :)

Author's Response: They should feel guilty. They did a bad thing. :) I like using the other characters to flesh out the main ones and make them more interesting. Thanks so much for the feedback. It's nice to know that my months of work on the fic are noticed.

omg! so effiin awesome! haha....i love this chappie! soo mcuh draco/ginny interaction...haha....hmm....i wonder how Draco'll look when he's jealous? *hint**hint* haha...

Author's Response: Oh... all kinds of emotions are coming up... it will be fun. And, more mean Lucius too. So glad you like it and took a minute to tell me so. Best Wishes

Yay for the update. No specific mentions of what Lucius does to Ginny, I notice. Very subtle. Must be hard to write it.

Author's Response: No, no specifics for now. My intent was to get the general idea across in the earlier chapters of how brutal he is. Repeating it, to me, seemed to be redundant at this time. Let me know if you think otherwise. The flow of the story is moving away from this. My view is that, in any human condition, people adapt to even brutal conditions, therefore, while Ginny's relationship with Lucius is still horrible, she's coping enough to focus on other aspects of her life. Love the feedback and keep it coming! :)

Well, what I'm really curious about is how long is her contraceptive potion going to last? How much of the six months have already passed by? And finally, when is Lucius going to be non-existent and Draco my (or rather Ginny's) knight in shining armour? Just curious... :-)

Author's Response: Well, Ginny marched into Lucius' office in February, and I'm calling their marriage date as March 1. It's now mid-May. Ginny needs to start worrying around August.

I absolutely adore this story! You write very well. I look forward to the next chapter. How often do you update?

Author's Response: Hi! and thanks!
rnI'm trying to update about once per week. I have most of the story already written, but I find that updating too quickly only hurts the quality of what gets posted. Don't worry. I don't leave stories unfinished, or abandon them for months at a time. This story will be updated regularly.

This was really good. I like how it's developing slowly. Poor clueless Lucius (not!). How long will he remain so?

Author's Response: Can't answer... that would kill the fun. But thanks for sending the feedback. Hugs!
