I really like the start of this story. The relationship between Draco and Narcissa is really, really strongly written and I love them. Also, I love how they came to the Burrow. It's a very good plot so far. However, I feel like there's a chapter missing between this and the last one. Last chapter (yesterday in the story) Ginny just gets past hating Draco after seeing him talk to her mother, the "in love with him" is a bit of a stretch here. I feel like I totally missed some major plot development, to the point that I went back to re-read the last chapter to see if I overlooked a section. How did she realize that the Dark Mark still hurt him, and why would she feel compelled toheal him? That was kind of ok to overlook, but then to go to Hermione saying Ginny's in love with him? There were absolutely no indicators, except that she seems fascinated by him so far, since she's watching him. It's kind of a far stretch with no explanation. Sorry, but the story is quite good, just that this seems to be a gap that really bothered me.
Author's Response:I'm sorry it took me a few days to get back to you... The truth is, I wasn't sure what to post for a reply.
By now, Hermione's accusation in #13 is my least favorite line in the story. I thought it would work, but so many people have said it confuses them that I'm preparing to rewrite that part of the chapter, along with heavily editing the first few chapters for length and description. I might edit the rest of the story, too, but we'll see how the first two goals go. Meanwhile, thank you for reviewing, and I hope you can keep reading the story despite that awkward line. It's not all like that, I promise. :)
I hope there is a good reason for it. I won't deny that I felt incredibly put off to see Ginny and Draco coming together so quickly. They still have a long way to go before any real romantic ties can be forged.
Quite interesting you had Draco placed as a Ravenclaw. Well, at least it wasn't Gryffindor.
