Oh, I do like this story.
I really, really do.
I don't quite have words to explain it, but reading the end of this made me smile and hum happily.
Thank you for making me do that (:

Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That was lovely on the whole. I suppose you were going for a quite elusive/mysterious style, and I think you achieved that with the right amount of pulling of loose strings at the end.

The only thing that bothered me significantly was how Hermione could possibly have stumbled upon Draco and Ginny in the middle of the night. I mean, considering all the animosity between the couple and the Weasleys (I include Hermione in the Weasleys) why would Draco and Ginny be all cuddly in the living room of a house full of them? Especially when they have their own flat/house. Sorry, that detail irked me. But other than that, beautiful.

Author's Response: Thank you! Well, not elusive per se, but ambiguity was likely a chunk of it - I like giving readers the freedom to roam. Yes, that's been questioned before, and I don't really have a definite explanation for it. War, family get-together, necessity, and many others could have caused for them to be holed up in Grimmauld Place together, and you may interpret it as you want. However, now that so many have mentioned the instances that don't tie ends, I may revise slightly to offer more stable ideas.

Yes, how much more to the story! It's great! The ending totally makes me want to know more. And I loved that it was from Hermione's viewpoint. Very refreshing and well done!

Author's Response: Thank you bunches! I was going for that effect on readers, and I am glad to know it had been produced. Thanks so much!

This was a great story. I was confused in the begning so I tried to read it twice and it turns out there really is no explanation to how they all end up in the same place at the begining (and end) of the story. Overall I loved it, I like stories which show the outsider persepctive in this case Mione and how she realizes that they all damned Draco but they were guilty of neglecting and respecting Ginny. Oh and their secret marraige...I loved it.

Author's Response: Thank you! It's been mentioned that my story is a bit confusing, but thanks for trying to figure it out! A little bit of mystery is always good. Their secret marriage is the best part, and thank you so much!

I really liked your story.
A bit confusing at times but entertaining nonetheless.
Always loved the secret marriage between D&G..
I have a small thing to add though : "Il obtient le froid" means nothing in French, if you mean "it's getting cold" you could say "Il commence à faire froid." if Draco refers to the baby when he says it you could say "il va prendre froid",

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I've been told it's a bit confusing, but it's best that it stays that way. Me too! I think it's the only one truly indicative of their relationship. Ahh, I see. I try using those programs and I suppose they only work when you don't know the last thing about a language... See, now I'm going to refer to you!

I saw this and was intrigued by your title. Then I read your summary and was very curious. I LOVED this. It contains the right about of fluff, outside opinion, and love to make it WONDERFUL one-shot. This really is very good. Much Love, Emily

Author's Response: Yours is the best response I have gotten! Thank you so much for the kind words, and I appreciate your review greatly.

Hey, that was very nice. Beautiful story! I love the way you wrote Draco. ^_^

My only complaint is that you didn't offer translations for the phrases in French. Fortunately my grade school French got me through those, but I'm sure there are people who were left in the dark, know what I mean? You could insert them in your end notes, or even in the story, with Hermione translating to herself. Just a thought.

Anyway, nice job.



Author's Response: You know, I contemplated putting it there, but I think there should remain a level of mystery for the reader, because DG is as complicated as it gets. :] If anyone wondered, I stated the language was and had the phrase right there - he or she could look it up or ask me. So far, only three persons mentioned it. Thank you for your review! You have authored several of my favorite - ever - DG stories, and your feedback means a lot to me. Update those soon!

Wow... that was wonderfully sweet, touching, and a bit bitterly sad at the same time. Great job!

Author's Response: I appreciate your review so much! That is just about the effect I wanted it to have, and I'm glad it has risen to expectations. Thanks!

I love the scene over Ginny's stomach. Very cute..

Author's Response: That's the first time I've heard that from a reader, but it is my personal favorite scene as well. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for clarifying that. I appreciated and really liked the piece. It is nice when it isn't completely spelled out for you. I look forward to more from you in the future!

Author's Response: Thank you!

so... it is kind of confusing first to figure out it is from Herm's pov but then if for years it seems that have passed with Gin having little relationship with her family how does the couple end up at Grimmauld Place for her to catch in the act? Also, for people who can speak no french, care to translate?

Author's Response: You're right, it isn't stated directly that it's Hermione talking, but with several references to her, I hoped to clear that up. The overall span of time that the story covers is from Ginny's graduation to the year of her 21 birthday. I, as a reader, enjoy pieces that make me think and fill in blank spaces with my own imagination, and I suppose that writing style eventually transferred to my work as well. The two phrases are "I will be in our bedroom," and "It's getting cold."

This is great! I was a little confused about how Draco and Ginny were in Grimauld Place, since I thought they had a flat, and I wasn't sure why Hermione was there either, but the story flowed well. Your writing style is great, and I was engaged the whole time. I absolutely loved Draco and Ginny's relationship in this--which is the point, I guess. I can't wait to read more of your stories! :)

Author's Response: Thanks so much, that's such a lovely review! Right, they do have their own place, but there's an anonymity to the story, and I think readers have to gather the missing pieces for themselves. I'm really glad to know that, because that is the effect I was going for.

Very Good! I actually read it twice. The first time I missed a couple of things,. I love that they were married and no one even knew it. There business, and no one elses. I would love a followup story, about the family when they find out. thanks for the great story,

Author's Response: Thanks, I really appreciate that! Yes, I worked on the writing to make it brief and slightly undeveloped.

Cute at times confusing but at the end you put it all together and I just loved it. Hooray for Draco and Ginny! Plan to follow it up?

Author's Response: Thank you! No, this one is a oneshot.

I really like your story. Was Draco really having affairs or was that Ginny in disguise? I guess it's only fair to say that all hell is going to break loose when everyone finds out Ginny and Draco are married AND she is pregnant.

Great job; I'm looking forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Thanks! No, there weren't any affairs while he was with Ginny, but Draco is the kind of man who did many naughty things, and the Weasleys just jump for the opportunity to get Ginny away from him. It's possible!
