Can I just say "YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS" ? Ahem. It made me quite happy to see Scorpius and Lily together. It would be quite unfair to Lily if he is just using her because he can't have Rose; I would be doubtful, too, if I were her. I do feel bad for both Rose and Lily. I really hope that their relationship won't be severed because of a boy.
But you updated and it made my day :)
Author's Response: Good! I'm glad!
I'm going to hold off my comments till the end of the story. However I wanted to tell you that I think you are doing a lovely job with this story. I think many DG fans think it is easy for Ginny to drop Harry for Draco but I think you have a wonderful job of portraying the intricacies and difficulties Ginny would face in this situation. I also think that it is great that you have shown that Harry and Ginny have a relationship built on respect and trust- yet sometimes that isn't enough.
Also, I'm glad you chose Lily. I don't know how DG fans can be upset with you because Rose is very much like Ron and Hermione while Lily really is Ginny and Harry's daughter. It is D/G 2.0. It just make sense for them to be together as Lily is brave due to her parents and also more willing to forget prejudices because of them as well. Rose is too stubborn and fearful because of those prejudices instilled on her by her parents. Never doubt your decisions for this story because in my opinion you have always made the right one. Whenever I open this story I am always afraid you will follow the mass hysteria of your reviewers but you always make the logical choice.
One other thing
PLEEEAAAAASSSEEEE!!!!... don't have Draco and Ginny cheat on their respective spouses. I don't think you would, but just in case I would like to add my two cents. They have had their time and what I feel really makes this a DG story is that you are giving them a chance to find closure in a wonderful relationship (and who has never wanted that) not an opportunity to rekindle it. There really is not a world for them to be together anymore and they do have great relationships with their spouses.
Yeah
so I think I've said more than I intended to say... oh well
Fabulously Amazing Job!!!
Author's Response: I cannot tell you how much I appreciated your comments! It was very, very encouraging. I'm especially glad that you share my dislike for destorying either of their marriages just for the sake of D/G. This is intended as a bittersweet story, much as you were saying and I'm glad you've picked up on that. It's still definately DG, but it's more about family and the different kinds of love than anything else. Thank you so much for this review, it really was lovely. I'll reread it whenever I feel blocked on the last few chapters. ;) Thank you and I'm so glad you like the story.
That was awesome. Team Lilly here so I loved it. Just hope he is really over Rose and no one gets hurt here. Well, someones gonna get hurt but just hope it's not Lilly.
Author's Response: Yeah, people will get hurt but it everything can always be fixed too. ;) Thanks for your review and so far, Team Lily's winning. ;)
Aw, the tulips were nice. I like the flashback of D/G there.
Plus, the scene with S & L was cute too. I mean, I like Rose...but something about Scorpius and Lily just...click to me.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Still driving me crazy woman! But you totally deliver :) You got the teen angst down pat between RoseLilyScorpius. to be very honest and i think i have mentioned before, i don't like Rose at all. Yeah Lily is better suited to Scorp in many ways more than one but i have a feeling that you are gonna make Scorp end up with Rose eventually... that seems to be the logical trajectory although i would have wished otherwise. Ginny's trip down memory lane was wonderful and so was Draco's thoughtfulness, he never ceases to be the eprfect man didn't he?? But let's not forget that Harry got the raw deal as well... He is a great guy just clueless and i must thank you for the correct portrayal of Harry as opposed to what some DG loyalists do , make Harry the bad guy or incompetent just to make the path easier for DG ,but life isn't like that. Indeed you have taken up the challenge to make the story as realistic as possible , and you are doing and excellent job at it. This story is so 'alive' , a proof of it being the way people reading your story feel so strongly about each character. That's the winning moment, and the moment of truth for any writer.
btw, i totally found one suggestion by a reviewer interesting, to make Draco and Ginny in-laws... that would be some kind of poetic justice for them... ;)
Whether Ginny ends up with Draco or not, i really hope that she does the right thing.
Author's Response: Wow. Thank you so much for your comments! I'm glad you like it so much, and I'm sorry for driving you crazy too. I definately love writing realistically, I figure people can forgive me for that, you know? Really, though, thank you. That was a lovely review! Hope you like the rest of the story!
I have to say that I really really like your story ;) I love Draco and Ginny! Hoping for a happy ending for them! ;)
And I'm hoping it will also end with Scorpius and Lily, they just match each other :D
Author's Response: Thank you! Unfortunately I can't say who ends up with who... ;)
I just wanted to say this story is very good, it has the right elements to keep me hooked.
I for one love anything with blueberry so i was definitely loving that and I love tulips..so I am on Team Draco for sure.
Furthermore, I can't wait to read why Draco and Ginny's relationship deteriorated. Also, I am dying to see where you take the next generation with your story, it would be cool if Scorpius ended up with Lily, since his dad didn't get Ginny in the end. It would be like fate giving them a chance to be in laws which would be hilarious!
Keep updating...lolz
Author's Response: Ginny and Draco in laws when Harry knows they had the hots for each other would be very funny. We'll see! Thanks for your review, I love blueberries and tulips too. ;)
great story so far! i agree.. lily/scorpius is far too weird considering their parents' history.. im rooting for rose/scorpius! can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Hope you like the rest!
YOU . ARE . EVIL
*groans* really now? the million dollar questions... is an L/S or R/S ship? will DG get back together? what will happen to poor Harry? it isnt really his fault you know... i kinda feel bad for him.
Gah! you are screwing wid my head! i dunno where my loyalties lie ! I dunno whom to support..*groans and holds the said screwed up head in hands in frustration*
Author's Response: So sorry to screw with your head ;) I honestly never thoughtwith it was that full to bursting with intrigue, heh, guess it's cuz it wasn't ever a secret to me. Is it horrible if I say a lot of those questions aren't answered until the ending chapters???
Oh, goodness. MemoriesFade basically said everything I was thinking and feeling. I'm agitated both at the lack of D/G and about the Lily/Scorp/Rose relationship. I originally thought thought that I'd like Lily/Scorpius because Draco and Ginny aren't together, but I just really feel bad for Rose... and it kind of squicks me out thinking that there'll be further D/G and L/S interaction going on at the same time.
BUT, I'm obviously this involved because I do enjoy your story a lot and await your updates.
Author's Response: Well I can promise a chapter all about Ginny for the immediate next one and a few memories of Draco when they lived together. Also, Rose isn't finished. Thanks for your review and I'll update once I can!
Yes! I'd like that very much!
=D
I know I'm bugging you A LOT but there are only 3 fics i like right now and one of those is this one!
;)
kisses
Author's Response: You aren't bothering me at all and that is a HUGE compliment. I'm honored. Thank you very much! ;)
yeah, but then again, they are working together, it gets hot(literally, with sweat and all), they became playful about throwing water in each other, then end up kissing..
i don't know...i just always wanted this to happen to DG so it could happen with LS, get it?
anyway, i just hope the other chapter comes soon!
=D
kisses
Author's Response: Lol, if i promise a few good snogs later on, will that appease you? Cause I can promise them, in just 2 chapters too. Next one will be out soon as it can, thanks!
AHAHAHAHAHA I didn't even notice.
and yes that is very much a typo lol.
Author's Response: Yep thought so ;)
I have really enjoyed watching this story unfold although normally I tend to shy away from stories which are D/G offspring-centric. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story develops and at this stage I think I'd be perfectly happy with however you decided to conclud the pairings :) In real life, things don't always wrap up nicely and I very much like your take on Draco and Ginny's respective marriages.
Keep up the awesome work :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Your review was very encouraging!
Hey there! interesting chapter.... and i think you are gonna kill us all with your formula of intrigue!
When you say that this is essentially a love triangle, do you mean that Scorpius has a crush on both Lily and Rose???? Because Lily as of now has not shown any signs of having any romantic interest in the young Malfoy.
Please answer my query and update soon :)
Cheerios!
Author's Response: Well as the chapters progress, a lot of their minds change. Lily did not start out liking Scorp as more than a friend. I suppose it's a love triangle not only because Rose suspects Scorp and Lily but because of how they all act around eachother. Up till now, Scorp and Lily behave very flirtatiously around each other. If they didn't, Rose wouldn't be so jealous. I can't say too much more about whether Lily likes Scorpious right now, because that will start to be answered in the next chapter. Thanks for your review and I hope that answers your question! ;)
YAY!
o/
Thanks!
And by the way, I DO like you better than Anise, so please keep the cucko stuff away from this fic, keep it simple, normal, an preferably hot.
If Ginny and Draco got together because his wife died and Harry understand D G love each other, it would be a good thing too!
=D
kisses
Author's Response: Umm... I think I like Astoria too much to just kill her off... but you'll just have to see where the story goes lol. Thanks ;)
Yep!
TOTAL fun!
I loved doing it too!
It's a wonderful fic and i can hardly contain my excitement to see the next chapters.
I expect a grand apology from Scorpious.
=D
kisses
Author's Response: I can personally guarantee a grand apology. Promise and cross my heart! Thanks for your review!
Oh bugger, and here is was hoping Scorpius and Rose were getting together. He was just kissing Lily to get back at Rose for some reason, right? *hopeful look*
Author's Response: Those were his intentions yes. He didn't plan on Lily's reaction at all though with his 'OMG i'm an IDIOT' duh realization at the end.
so i was wondering is this a lily/scorpius pairing or a rose/scorpious pairing. love this story keep it up it is the perfect mixture of cute funny and suspense.
Author's Response: Wow thank you! As to the pairing, its more of a love triangle than anything else, for now at least.
Aww this chapter was so sad. And I love how understanding you've made Harry.
somehow I think most men would want their wives to stay away from the other man they had a serious relationship with in the past.
I can't wait to read more. You and your beta are amazing for such frequent updates =)
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much, I'll pass on the message to Miss Opal (it's her beta-ing that gets these updated at all ;) And about Harry, I definitely wanted him to be understanding about because he was there, he knew the whole time where Ginny was staying and who with and had to watch everything happen from the sidelines, so he knows exactly how hurt she was when she gave Draco up, especially if ti's still hurting her 26 years later. Thanks so much for your review!
Hi there! i am a great fan of your writing am liking the theme of this story,since you have molded it in such a manner that the readers will keep guessing as to which direction this story will take.... will ginny & draco come together? will it be an S/R or S/L story??? i know i belong to a small minority, but i like Lily's vivacious personality more.... no offence, but Rose seems a little boring and dull like Hermione so obviously i like the Scorpio Lily interaction more but then again, confusing love triangles are fun! :P plz update soon!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much for the compliment! I'm glad you like it so much! And it's okay to be in the minority, you never know what will work out ;) Thanks again!
All right, so I already reviewed, but I came back and read the others and just had to get it off my chest...
I'm hoping for a little Scorpius/Lily. They have some pretty good chemistry the way you've written them, and I'm not at all averse to some star-crossed D/G angst. There, I've said it. I'm in the vast minority, and am proud of it, dang it. :D
Author's Response: Glad you're proud. We need some differing opinions. They're called love triangles for a reason, dang it. ;) Thanks for the review! (again) :D
I just wanna start out by saying that you're a really good writer and I like how the characters and plot are being developed.
I am rooting for Draco/Ginny in the end somehow! lol
Though I like how everything is going, I really hope there isn't gonna be a Scorpius/Lily/Rose love triangle. I'm not fond of the idea of family members being involved with/fighting over the same person.
And honestly, the whole Scorpius/Lily would've come out of nowhere, while Rose had feelings for him all along. All that aside, I hope you get the chance to post the next chapter very soon cuz I can't wait to read it.
Author's Response: Well, as the chapters progress so do the characters and their relationships, so I do hope you enjoy the end result. Thanks so much for your review and compliment!
Ch.1 review: I like the Rose/Ginny Aunt/Niece relationship. I wish I had that. LOL at James and Albus! And I have a feeling that Lily's going to be my favorite.
Author's Response: I hope so! I'm glad you like it so much!
I really like the originality of having Ginny confess to a future generation. B ut since she is a Pooter there is no happy ending!
:(
Author's Response: Hey don't bail out on the happy ending idea yet... come on!
