hahahaha loved the chapter :)
more so because cinnamon buns is a new favourite of mine ...the cafe near me has some excellent buns (if you know what i mean :P )

now the qs is: will ginny tell draco she's going to Pennsylvania or will she let him fret for a while while she gathers her thoughts (or is that just too cruel right now?)

Author's Response: ^_- Haha, you enjoy those buns. As for your question, we shall have to wait and see, won't we? Thanks for the review!

Thank you SOOOO much for updating. I love this fic :)

Author's Response: Thank *you* so much for reviewing! :)

I was glad to see an update, I hope the next will follow soon enough. I don't blame Luna and Blaise for not wanting to be around Molly. I wonder how Draco and Serena will take the news that Ginny wants to go away for a bit.

Author's Response: The next update won't take as long--it's finished actually. I sent it off to my beta and everything. And yes, being around Molly is hard for those who were directly involved--or I guess the people who were directly involved with Ginny. As for the rest, you shall have to wait and see. :) Thanks for the review!

YAY!
YAY!
YAY!
o/
FINALLY we have you and especially Buttercup back!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????
i swear it feels like forever since i was last here!!!
I only show up when you update
i haven't read a fic in AGES!!!
Kindle REALLY gets expensive if you buy 8 to 10 books a week...
plus it's nowhere near as satisfatory or personal as a fic.

now turning on the POLITE mode...
how have you been?
what have you been up to?
where did you move to?




I've been brutally beaten and kidnapped. When things like that happen, you realize that life is a lot shorter than you think. I want to get married, Luna. I would love to have a nice wedding on a beach. I want to be pregnant again and be able to walk out of my house instead of being locked up like a prisoner. I want to go through all the nuances of pregnancy with someone who loves me by my side. I need to be able to hold my newborn child in my arms one day

I wanna a beach wedding too!!! [At least one of them...]
i feel so close to her now, shraing the same sentiments.
Except for the getting PHISICALLY beaten and bruised

You realy do have an amazing wy to reach out to everyone did you know that?




I want Draco to be that person by my side. But if he can't give that to me, I need to move on, Luna."

NNOOO!!!!
DON'T DARE TO MOVE ON!!!
Unless it's another fake move on...then it's ok.
i DO enjoy seeing him lose his mind
*evil grin*



Draco moved towards her, a frown on his face. "Jittery?"
"I'm still having nightmares. Heck, I practically jump at my own shadow," Ginny confessed, bowing her head to avoid looking him in the eye. "I'm actually kind of thankful you're here. I don't want to be alone right now, but I didn't want to burden Hermione and Charlie."
She hated being vulnerable, hated the feeling that she needed someone. However, when Draco had started acting so—so open, an unusual behavior for him, she couldn't help but to admit her current fear. And the way he stared at her when she admitted her jumpiness made her want to snuggle into his embrace.
"You're not a burden to anyone," Draco said quietly. He hesitantly ran his hand down her cheek, a faint smile appearing on his face when she leaned into his touch. "I'll stay here while you take a bath."


=)
How can anyone hold themselves when a guy is this sweet???
I have a goofy smile on my face and once again i'm completely in love with him[i had forgotten about this feeling]




Draco waltzed in, a smirk on his face as he saw Ginny scrambling to cover herself with the bubbles.
"Playing modest?"
Ginny huffed. "You go from sweet to snarky in ten seconds. Do you know that?"
Draco shrugged. "I was getting bored sitting outside by myself."
"Could you at least pretend you're not staring at me?


=DDD
He's brilliant isn't he?
I love how he just barges in and she loves him so very very much she can't even throw him a dirty look
Plus all that "i own the place" attitude of his just makes you all tingly




"If we weren't involved, he would never have thought to come after you," Draco said, frustration seeping into his voice. He turned around, resting his hands against the counter, his eyes focused on his reflection in the mirror. "Waiting for you to wake up, for the bleeding to stop—I don't know what I would have done if we lost you, Ginny."


My heart went out to him
i have a lump on my throath right now just picturing his sweet beautiful face contorced in agony
he can be so emotional and so open to her
admiting all his worries and fears...it's impossible to hold you own tears especially when you know he's used to be a cold man



Ginny stepped out of the tub and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her body. Without hesitating, she wrapped her hands around Draco, resting her cheek against his back. She didn't care if he became quiet and cold. In that moment, she could only think that he needed comfort, whether or not he would admit it.


=)
i know it's a cliché move but i love the hug form behind thing
whether it comes from the girl or the guy
is just so sweet and tender and perfect
you're just giving something, a part of yourself and already putting yourself in a vulnerable position because it's easier to be dismissed in this situation
they don't even realize but they are doing all the right things to show their love for each other




Ginny didn't have much warning. In moments, Draco spun around, still in her embrace, and his lips descended upon her own. His hands tangled into her wet tresses, the kiss passionate and needy. It was as if he was trying to assert the fact that she was indeed there, and she did not mind one bit. She ran her hands up his back, wrapping her arms around his neck. She lightly ran her fingers along the base of his skull, her lips never leaving his.
Before she could stop herself, her legs were wrapped around his waist, and her towel's knot was slowly unraveling as he rested her on the counter. He held her securely in his arms, his grip tight and his mouth demanding. Her chest swelled with want and desire. But when her towel fell onto the counter, her body left open to him,


now THAT's the proper response to such a giving embrace
he got the exact right answer to her
right there
This is the perfect D/G moment
they argue, bicker or fight[sometimes all 3 and then some]
one shows love
the other shows passion
they both explode in the moment
is just perfect



she gasped, her mind reeling and flashing back to the scene in Warrington's home. She pulled back and closed her eyes, her head falling to Draco's shoulder and a tear leaking out of her eye.
"I'm sorry," Ginny whispered. "I thought—"
"Shhh," Draco murmured, placing a kiss on her bare shoulder before picking up the towel and wrapping it around her shoulders. "I shouldn't have let it get so out of control."


Now you're just fishing for compliments...
;P
the sweet, understanding Draco is just too much
my heart can't take it!
You're gonna kill me woman!!!
after so long without him he comes back doing all the right perfect things!
HE's so thoughtfull and caring, holding her like she's gonna break, putting her needs and wishes above his own
*sighs*



She moved to pick out a simple black dress but was halted by Draco's hand on her own, a similar situation to a few weeks ago when they decided on their vacation. Confused, she asked, "What are you doing?"
"No black," he said shortly.
"Choosing my wardrobe options again?" Ginny turned and gave him a lopsided grin. "Is there some other color you would prefer me to wear?"
"I would like to see you in this little number," he replied, handing her a lacy, midnight blue shirt. "It's a lovely dress."
She smacked his chest. "That's a shirt."
"It makes a better dress," Draco said with a smirk


=D
(6)
She should definatelly wear it as a dress just for him
maybe during a dinner in a quiet place, just the two of them...i'm sure he would have to pick his chin from the floor and push his eyes back in their sockets...
plus he would really appreciate the surprise...




"We have a meeting with some American business men. Your good friend Ethan will be there," Draco said, smirking when Ginny blushed. "Did you know he was seeing Theo?"
"I did," Ginny answered. She heard the sound of her mother's voice and sighed. "I guess that's my cue."


HA!
I love him like this!
she really was saved by the bell this time,huh?



"Your mum baked a pie."
"Not rivaling Ginny's, I'm sure," Draco said, barely keeping the smirk off his face.
Ginny turned to Draco, hiding a smile. "Uhm, Draco, didn't you have somewhere to be?"
Draco stepped towards her, giving her a kiss on the cheek before whispering, "I'll see you."


OOOHH
I wish i could be the one to do that to that dispicable woman!
Even Ginny couldn't hold herself
=)
He SHOULD have given her a REAL kiss though...just to make that nasty woman suffer...plus it would be amuzing for Draco and Ginny
;P




"I love you and your family. But after what your mother did, well, Blaise is a little wary of being around her and having the kids around her. He saw how hurt I was when I thought you were dead and—"


YES!
YES!
YES!
Everyone should push her away
I'm proud of Luna!




It ended too soon!
*pouts*
Please tell me that the next one is already written and being beta-ed.!
please please please
i wanna know if Ginny goes away and if Draco goes after and if they try to be nice but realize they love each other too much and have too much fire so they can't haelp themselves and have crazy explosive sex and then make love all night long but they forget to use protection and she gets pregnant and i have no idea where i'm getting these ideas from but my hand is starting to shake because i'm typing too fast
*Phew*
i swear i tried to stop myself but it was like my hand and fingers had a mind of it's own

i WAS in control when i said i can hardly wait for the next chapter though...

so please don't be a stranger to the website
i know i haven't written a review for a long long time but i was busy before and then you stopped posting but right now i'm cutting class so i can be here reading and reviewing so you know that you're important and your fics are very much loved so please don't stop writing them!
=D
I should probably get to class so i at least get my test so i'm gonna cut this short

kisses
kisses
kisses

Author's Response: Manu, where have you been? You haven't reviewed *any* of my stories in ages, and I miss your reviews. I even emailed you to make sure you didn't fall off the face of the earth or something to that effect. But at least you're back. Anyway, yes the next chapter is complete. No it is not beta-d. But even better, the next chapter is the last chapter--well maybe not better depending on how you look at it. And then there's the epilogue. Can you believe it? Buttercup will be complete. So excited. And I look forward to your reviews to my stories that I've missed mucho.

Well I will wait... I love the story and hope that you will be inspired to write more soon.

Author's Response: :) I have been and the update should be up any day now.

Ok come on! Get to writing sister! We want more! We want more1 And I'm speaking as a mom-to-be, k!

Author's Response: Hehe, I did write it. And, hopefully, it shall be posted soon enough. Thanks so much for the review! And Congratulations!

update soon!

Author's Response: The update has been sent in. Sorry it wasn't soon enough though!

please please please update!

Author's Response: The update has been submitted. :)

AWWWWWWW! Are you trying to make me cry? The previous chapter I was worried sick for Ginny, and this chapterI thought Draco was so incredibly sweet to her... Ahh...true love! This chapter, and this story as a whole is so fantastic and enjoyable, there aren't even words! Very, very, very well done. I am looking forward to an equally wonderful update, fabulous! Love you, love your writing, love your characters! xoxoxox

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm sorry the update has taken so long. But it's been submitted, so, hopefully, it should be up soon. (As long as I don't have excessive grammar mistakes :S)

Thanks for the email you sent, actually now that I have read the first chapter I realize that I read it ages ago as well. I can't say I ever moved past there though, I see this and I think. "Am I going to like it? There are so many things I don't like already" and as much as as I'm curious I think for now I'll stop here. Perhaps as the story progresses further and a read some more of the reviews I'll change my mind.

A note about your writing: Obviously your technique is good, and your style reads easily giving the story a good flow, however the characterization of the Weasley parents is what has turned me off to this. I will however keep my eye on this story and I have read your other works and enjoyed them a great deal. This one though may not be my cup of tea.

I do however, greatly respect you as a talented writer and would appreciate it greatly if you could leave your own feedback on my work as well.

No, I am not above shameless begging. Constructive criticism is something I greatly need for my writing as only one person has ever given it.

Author's Response: The characterization of the Weasleys is something that moves the story along but does not take much precedence in later chapters. Like other stories, this will be enjoyable for some and not for others. I can't make everyone like it. I am sorry you did not enjoy it. Unfortunately, at the moment, I'm extremely busy but I will put your story on my list of stories to read and review.

And they're on their way! Hooray!

Author's Response: :D Yes, they are! Thanks for reviewing!

:D i like it! by the way i forgot to mention this in my earlier reviews but I really like the characterization of Serena because there are times you really want to kill her for interfering with draco/ginny but at the same time that's something a little kid would totally do!And she can be very very cute :D Anyway please update fast!

Author's Response: She is a little girl. So yea, she has her annoying moments but she has some good ones too. Thanks for the review! I will try to update quickly.
