Hehe, so funny. Again, I love Draco's thought process. His way of cultivating a plan is truly a pleasure to read, and I think you capture his Slytherin personality perfectly. Oh, and to do the generic response:
THEY KISSED!
"she’s technically kicking him when he’s down, which clearly speaks of a lingering romantic attachment"
And that there is what is so wonderful about D/G!
You're doing a fabulous job with this! It just keeps getting better and better.
OMG!!! This is great! I love their little mind games and their obsessive need to have the upper hand.
I like your characterization and how you make their thoughts and actions logical yet crazy.
They're so perfect for each other!
Thanks for the story and I can't wait to read what happens next. =)
Author's Response: Thank you. Yes, this story has turned into a big of a war, huh? "Logical yet crazy" - sounds like a lot of people I know, LOL. I hope you enjoy the final chapter!

You have NO IDEA how long I've been waiting for that! And the funny thing was, you haven't updated in so long that I'd decided that if you hadn't updated this fic by this Sunday, I was going to send you a message about whether you were still alive or not. But this was DEFINITELY worth the wait. My favorite chapter! oh my goodness, there were just so many things that I loved about this. WHere do I even start?
Okay, some of the quotations were just so amazing. Like, "Honestly. As if Draco Malfoy would ever mope about for three days without an ulterior motive. People really should know better." and "Draco’s lips twitch, a minuscule motion. Weasleys, even the female ones, are really just too easy. " and "Those bloody wonderful Gryffindors" and my favorite:
Draco doesn’t usually enjoy being shoved places, but when it is a littlest Weasley racing up to push him with both hands into a supply closet, bolting in behind him, and slamming the door on them both – he is willing to make an exception.
“You are a git,” she insists from somewhere generally in front of him but too dark to pinpoint, and then she kisses him.
Bon appétit.
Merlin, I just went to heaven right there. That was a PERFECT D/G first kiss. It was like, a fusion of repressed sexual tension finally breaking and caving. And the Next Chapter is LUST! (This is the last chapter, right? Because this is the last of the Seven Deadly Sins) I know no smut and they probably won't do it, unless it's fast-forwarded, like, six months later, and they're doing it for the first time (which would so awesome!) But, I'm perfectly happy just witnessing the start of their beautiful relationship. Amazingly fantastic job on this way and please, please, please update this fic soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response:WOW. You have officially overwhelmed me, JT (you know, that's my cousin's name. I just noticed that). I'm sorry about the long wait. The chapter was ready much earlier, but FIA was taking a holiday break and posting was prohibited for two weeks.
I'm glad you enjoy the quotations, especially my final line. :D Although, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you as far as Lust goes. The smut will be totally nonexistant. It might even change your impressions of this chapter - but look at me, spoilering my own story. I'll just let you read it and see what you think.
Good heavens, I love this story. So clever and fun. well done. looking forward to next chapter. :D
Author's Response: Thank you. I hope you enjoy the finale!
