I really don't know what to say except that my heart just broke into pieces for Draco and I am sure that what Ginny has been doing is right or wrong... maybe , their fate was supposed to be this way...
I only know that this chapter(and the previous one)the most painful thing that I have read in years... I am actually feeling depressed.the pain of unrequitted love truly has a destroying effect...
once again, I will say that you write like no one else does, your writing touches the very soul... Thank you once again, for making us 'feel' through your writing... I will truly miss this story once it's done. *Sigh*

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like it despite it's depressing state ;) And I agree, I'll miss this once I'm finished too. Still unbelievably frustrating trying to manage that though ;) Again, thanks so much for your review and I'll try and keep the next one from being too depressing. ;)

I really hope you find a way to 'redeem' Ginny because at the moment I find it very difficult to see why Draco would want her when she's been nothing but evasive, cowardly, pathetic and incapable of taking responsibility for her own choice and actions. I don't think it's a bad thing that she is like this at the moment because I think character development is always essential to a good story but I really hope you can give us an EXTREMELY satisfying reason as to why Ginny is being so frustrating or else I'll finish the story feeling like Ginny really didn't deserve Draco OR Harry.

As I see it, she's currently responsible for the misery of herself, Harry, Draco and to a lesser extent, the second generation kids. She's been whiny and tearful but I feel like from our point of view, Draco has suffered a lot more and is very much the victim here. He's been as honest and upfront and willing to fight for them as he can be and I really admire him, whereas this is one of the rare times when I'm not on Ginny's side in a story.

I just want to end by saying I think it's really wonderful that your writing can evoke such strong emotions and divide people and make them love, hate, sympathise, pity etc. your characters - I think that's an amazing skill and you should be pleased that people care so much to be angry! All the best sorting out this tangled web and as always, I look forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Oh I'll redeem her, I promise. She's driving me crazy too and I know what actually happened and she's still making me mad. ;) Don't worry, she has a really good reason for being so uncharacteristically broken up about everything. I can't wait to read your reaction after she finally comes clean and tells the truth. It'll be like one big AHA, at least that's how I'm picturing it in my mind, lol. Thank you so much for all your reviews thus far. They're all very encouraging and I'm glad readers can still be happy when they're wanting to strangle certain characters, lol, it's a funny thing to imagine and wrap my head around, but there you go. Anyway, thank you so much for your review and I appreciate all the encouragement. Hopefully the web will start to untangle itself... in a few chapters ;)

God, more sadness?! Please tell me it's going to get better soon, for everyone!

Author's Response: Of course... we may need to loosely interpret the word soon though. ;) I promise everything is resolved by the end which is in sight, not too many chapters away, but yes unfortunately/fortunately depending on how you see it, there are a few more plot twists planned in that short amount of time, which of course means angst for everybody. If its any consilation, I decided to intergect a tad less angst in some chapters (though I'm not sure anyone could tell either because angst is sort of always there to an extent) I'll keep the next one a bit lighter if at all possible, which I really don't know at this point. Oh well. ;) Thanks for your review!
