AAAH it's not over! Nooooo!! Now I have to wait for an update! I just discovered this two days ago, and I've been hanging onto each and every word. You have such a talent for keeping every character so perfect! And Serena is such an adorable mix of Draco and Ginny. Wonderful job with this, I really hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm always happy to have new readers. The next chapter will be up shortly so you won't have to wait much longer.

well, I'm not sure I complained about Ginny being weak so much as asked why she is so weak. I guess you answered that, but it's still sad that she gave in. Maybe I'm just reading too much into Ginny's character. I mean, she was able to build a life and business of her own in America. I would like to think that a woman like that could hold her own in a relationship, not give in when Draco can offer a bit of sex. I guess she's just taking whatever she can get.
Author's Response: It's not that she's taking whatever she gets. You'll sort of see why she did it at the beginning of the next chapter because she's going to explain her feelings a little. So I won't bother to go into too much dealing with. Ginny is very much a strong person. But you have to remember she's in love. And when you're in love, you sometimes do things that may not make sense to others.

I wouldn't say it was Extremely Naughty... Oh, well. What they did to Tracey was ... quite cruel and wrong on so many levels, in my opinion. How is it that no one else saw her freaking out?
It's interesting how everyone got so sleepy. Narcissa and Lucius, who are older, were able to stay awake while the 20-year-olds were pooped. Sheesh! ;)
They finally kissed! Yay! Now that they're feeling all awkward and weird, things are bound to get more complicated. Yay! Lol.
Author's Response: This isn't the Extremely Naughty part...that comes in the future. It was very cruel of them, and it will come again in the future. And you will hear more about Tracey as well, four or so chapters down the line I believe. There was a shield up, creative license on my part, to prevent people from seeing. LOL, yes, Narcissa and Lucius party hard, didn't you know. Ah, sweet kisses. Yes, complication ahead. Guaranteed. -Ann PS: Glad to hear you're home safely....or back at home #2 safely.

I loved this chapter; this part of their vacation was great. I'm starting to like Serena again. She's a sweet girl whose father and grandparents let her have way too much and get away with her temper tantrums for too long. But they really make a lovely family; the family scenes were great. It was interesting that Draco thought about what he and Ginny talked about regarding Serena wanting a parrot...how she was 'almost daring him to say no'. And I liked how they told Serena about their various punishments as children - 'Ginny and Draco both entertained Serena with stories of various punishments they underwent in their youth. By the time they reached the top, Serena was ready to vow never to misbehave again because her parents knew too many terrible punishments.' The
family standing on the cliff, Serena talking about a 'little brother or sister' and their arms brushing against each other. I had a smile on my face because I could just see the picture they made.
I was pleasantly surprised by Draco's "Birthday present" to Ginny. I didn't fault her or find her weak for doing something she wanted even though she tried to rationalize it. She had been thinking about it for a month and Draco even gave her a chance to back out - "You're sure?" No he's not as connected to his feelings as we the readers or more importantly Ginny would hope. But she knows he cares, even if he doesn't want her to know and maybe hasn't fully admitted it to himself. The women he was with previously didn't expect him to say why he was sorry as long as he did it with expensive gifts. I think on some level he knows he cares but isn't use to talking about it because of what he said last chapter "Not for -" before stopping himself. And when she tells him she did come for him "for us" he's shell-shocked. Probably because he's so Slytherin he thinks he's fooling her.
Author's Response: Yay, Serena love. I love when people love Serena. The family moments are essential to the story. It is coming to an end soon, and these are ways to show how far they've come from Draco's reluctance to have Ginny take part in their lives. I'm glad you didn't think Ginny weak because that isn't at all how I wanted her to come off. And you're right about him struggling with showing his feelings. It's difficult for him because it isn't something he's used to. Thanks for the review! -Ann

The men are plotting. Oh, my, this cannot augur well. I like the little Lucius/Ginny moment. Will they ever address the fact that he slipped her the diary? Hmm. And is there any significance with the ring--is this part of the protection? It's so weird seeing the Weasleys and Malfoys work together--I'm glad there is still animosity between them all. ^_^ On to the next chapter! *grins* ~Lia
Author's Response: Call it oversight that I didn't actually think of the diary. But no, I don't think they would address it, even if I didn't overlook it. It's more of the past is the past and everyone is trying to move on than anything else. It's funny because at one point, there was significance to the ring. But now, no, there isn't. -Ann

--Bare in mind how much you love me over the next two chapters though. :D--
Love is relative if you're going to do things to Ginny and Draco that make me unhappy.
I will keep in mind that you are a prolific writer and that you have a plan in all of your evil plotting.

Serena the Slytherin. Manipulative little girl. I love it. This was a great chapter. I like how Draco had his heels dug in the entire time, refusing to kiss Ginny. Hehe, so adorable. I must read on. ~Lia

I'm slightly disappointed in Draco, though not surprised. It's like he's okay with getting a little closer to Ginny as long as the words aren't spoken. When they have their family moment on top of the cliff he's okay with it, but when Ginny brings up a possibility of working things out with him he ruins it with his killing the bliss comment. Rather selfish of him really. He did give Ginny a nice birthday present but I felt badly for Ginny. Even though she says to herself that she will use him the same as he was using her, she obviously didn't feel totally detached. And he didn't respect that at all. Pompous arse.
I hope that Ginny's little admittance at the end has some affect on him. He really is being an arse about the whole thing. He just doesn't want to admit that he likes Ginny and is using his spoiled kid as an excuse. I think I want to slap Draco just a little bit right now.
Good chapter that I hope is setting us up for some more soul baring interactions the next time around.
Author's Response: Draco isn't exactly emotionally attuned with himself so that isn't new. And it would have all just been way too sweet for me (Did you read those family moments?) if Draco gushed about his emotions. Plus it doesn't fit into the plot. He is selfish, arrogant, and just an all over bad guy. But I'm glad that someone is finally seeing that Serena is really an excuse. It isn't her fault at all but people blame her. Granted, it is her fault they broke things off. This chapter is setting up for plenty of stuff. Bare in mind how much you love me over the next two chapters though. :D

I've been reading your story and I must say I fallen in love with it especially Ginny. Why is Ginny always the one who gets her heart hurt. She's so in love with Draco. I love the way you write Ginny in this story. I wish Draco would get his punishment. I was hoping that Ginny would push him back. It's the principal of the matter. I really don't like Draco for treating Ginny as a sex release. I really enjoy how you wrote Draco in this story. I hope Ginny gets back at Draco in some way and he now has to win her back. Write soon!!!!
Author's Response: Maybe I'll have to write a story where Draco gets hurt. I think Ginny is just the type of person to own up to her feelings first. Draco needs time and a nudge in order to do so. Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

“Ronald, you’re fighting with a six year old” -- This line made me snort. Chris goes, "What are you laughing at". My response: "Something that Ann wrote." ^_^
This is a good chapter that let's us into everyone else's heads: Pansy, Blaise, Luna, etc. Very good. I like how you have Draco not having romantic inclinations toward Ginny: it makes it more real.
For me, this story is really starting to get interesting, and I can't wait to see what happens next. You're getting me emotionally invested in the characters now!
Author's Response: I laughed when I read the first line of this, but no one was around to hear it. :( I find that I read a lot of stories where they have one night stands, and fall in love years later when they see each other across darkened rooms. Things don't work like that. I wish they did because then I might be tempted to try it out. But they don't. Realism was my motive, as much realism as one can have in a Harry Potter fan fic. :D When I read about you getting emotionally invested, I could almost hear you going and it's about time, even though I know that really isn't your thing.

Draco, Draco, Draco ... that boy has no empathy whatsoever. I have discovered that men find it almost impossible to put themselves in a woman's shoes. I am seriously miffed with Draco right now--I hope Ginny gets her revenge and makes him feel terrible about it. :( ~Lia
Author's Response: Not in that situation, no. He comes around eventually. And he will get his due punishment. Actually, his punishment was a little light in my opinion. You were meant to hate Draco after this, but he shall redeem himself...I hope.

Heheh, Serena is so devious, and I do think that she gets it from her Aunt Pansy. So adorable. I love your Ron in this--he has mellowed. He reminds me of the Ron in the movies (Rupert Grint). Ginny has also become rather domesticated, and now Tracey Davis is on the warpath. Should I prepare myself for a big cat fight coming up? Onto the next. ~Lia
Author's Response: I love Rupert Grint. But yes, he has mellowed out. I like to think that it's the effects of having a child and going through a divorce. Not necessarily a cat fight, but I suppose by now you would have read about that part. Thanks for reviewing!

Hehe, a Ron/Pansy relationship? Interesting. I might just like this.
This was a great chapter--Serena is such a manipulator, it's adorable. I also love the fact that Harry is a great guy instead of a ponce.
I must say that Ginny has a lot of bathrooms for a flat in London. London, like Manhattan, is known for having very few bathrooms. However, this is a magical world. I want to live in magical London. :(
Now I am on to the next chapter since I can't wait to see how Draco and Ginny's relationship unfold.
Author's Response: It's more like a hint of Ron/Pansy. Their interactions into the story sort of taper off. But there is a lot of Pansy...well, a good amount. Yes, I know that London flats have very little bathrooms. But it is the magical world, and Ginny renovated before she decorated. I would love a place like hers, just not in London. :D

why is ginny so weak? i know she's in love with draco, but he doesn't even know what he wants yet. she should keep her distance until he realizes he's in love with her... i'm kind of disappointed that she slept with him.
Author's Response: You're the first to complain about it, but I'm sure you won't be the last. In a way, yes, Ginny is weak. But through that weakness, she's able to come to that final decision that she can't keeping shagging Draco and be okay with it. She's confirming what she already knows. There is only so much a girl can take. And this was her way of showing Draco that she knows what he wants, and that he needs to make a decision.
