i loved the broom closet scene!!
great job overall!
AHHHH!!! (Note my excessive need for exclamation points) Totally loving this!!
That was so funny...I love the boyfriend jab!
Awww....I agree that's got to be love.
Thank you for the story and I can't wait to read more =)
Okay, I went overboard. I'm actually going to pull out my favorite-est parts out of my favorite-est chapter.
1) “Agh – the bloody – ow!” Draco screeches, jerking backwards. “What the – are you trying to kill me?”
“No!” Ginny snaps, because when she’s embarrassed she tends to take it out on people. “You moved! I was going to kiss you!”
Then, as an afterthought, “Lumos.”
Draco is leaning back against the wall, hands clutching his nose. His face is all screwed up in pain, and he is far from being the extremely entranced boy she had hoped. Instead, he’s just hurt and indignant. Why do Ginny’s plans never go the way they’re supposed to?
Haha, I feel so bad for poor Draco. He was this close to getting snogged by Ginny, and then....*sighs* bloody nose.
2) Unfortunately, Draco has other plans. The moment she moves forward, he throws up his hands in a defensive shield. “Whoa, whoa,” he says. “Just… stay over there, Weasley. You might get my eye next.”
I thought this was so funny! It made me laugh the most for the chapter. It was just one of those things that hits you in a weird way, and suddenly you can't stop laughing about it...I'm a bit weird like that.
3) She steps as close as she can and reaches for his hand to push it out of the way, but Draco grabs her wrist and holds it. “Weasley,” he says in a voice a little deeper than usual, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Ginny takes a deep breath. His eyes are curiously intense, and she can tell he’s actually serious this time. He knows what she’s trying to do, that’s not what he’s asking – he’s asking why. If she answers truthfully, she will be making herself vulnerable in the worst way.
She meets his eyes and does not blink (she is a Gryffindor, you know). “Securing a boyfriend.”
Draco looks –surprised, and – maybe? –pleased too. For half a second.
Then he smirks, and it’s just dripping with so much raw sexuality that Ginny can’t believe nothing has burst into flames yet. Or that nobody’s naked.
Ooh. That’s a nice image.
*sighs dreamily* naked Draco is MY fantasy image....yum.....drools...
4) She bursts out laughing. Draco stops short, and for a few seconds, Ginny is just laughing hysterically in his stiff grip.
“What, exactly, are you laughing at, Weasley?” Draco sounds almost petulant, and it only makes Ginny laugh harder.
“You – you – should I be worried, Draco?” Ginny chortles. “I mean I have to admit, I never would have thought that you would be able to give me advice on how to get a boyfriend, but you know it actually explains quite a bit –”
Haha, Draco is just getting it handed to him by a girl. But it's nice, since it shows that he probably won't get tired of her like he did the other girls.
5) Then his lips descend carefully upon Ginny’s, and pretty much all thoughts other than oh yes leave her head. Draco really is good at this, as good as Ginny was bad, and her eyes slip closed (even if it makes no difference) as she melts into his embrace.
Oh yes. This is good. This is very, very good, and Ginny is getting very into it. She’s kissing back hard, and her hands are doing that thing where they don’t know whether to stay in his hair or clutching onto his neck or shoulders and what began as a relatively chaste press of lips is rapidly heating up this little supply closet.
Draco presses Ginny back up against some metal shelves, and she yanks him closer; he trips on a stray mop-handle and a pile of things go crashing into a wall. Neither of them really notice, as they are too busy taking a quick break to breathe.
“Does this mean I’m your boyfriend now?” Ginny asks, or probably pants.
The last line is just so classic Ginny that I just want to leap into 7 Deadly and hug her. It would be just like her to say that after a snog.
6) She spies her wand on the floor, engulfed in a very tall shadow, and suddenly begins to pray. Please, please, let it be no one, please don’t let this be happening, please-
“Mr. Malfoy,” a stern, disapproving, familiar voice says. “Miss Weasley.”
Ginny slowly lifts her head, squinting in horror at the terrible shape in the doorway. This can’t be, it’s all her worst nightmares come true –
Snape smirks and his voice is just that horrible blend of sarcastic and humiliating and completely (and utterly degradingly) amused. “If you would care to step out of the supply closet.”
I love Snape. I really do. There's just this air about him that so...witty and sarcastic, and ahhhh. I love your Snape.
7) Normally, Ginny does not enjoy examining Professor Snape’s polyturgs. It is a punishment reserved for the worst of the worst (meaning usually Neville Longbottom) because it takes time, discipline, and an iron stomach. Oh, and a complete knowledge of how to spell away the worst sort of muck. Worse, if a student misses a single spot, Snape will gleefully hand them over to Filch.
It’s clearly a stressful business. Still, today is slightly different, namely because of the boy standing next to her (he, by the way, is actually cleaning out cauldrons – because apparently making out and making lots of noise in a supply closet is a minor offense if you are Draco, but doing the same is almost expel-worthy if you are a Weasley, which is typical).
I change my mind. THIS is my favorite quote. It's more of just a touch you seem to have. You strike me as a a very witty person in real life, even if I don't know you in real life

And THAT just about wins the cutest line ever in my book. It really shows how sometimes love doesn't have to be complicated and it can be simple and beautiful.
Overall, I really enjoyed this fic. Your voice was very refreshing and it has a distinctive air to it. Your characterizations weren't ooc, and the detials were all perfect, and the plot moved things along, culminating in an adorable D/G action scene. Love this fic and will definitely be coming back to re-read over and over again. Amazing job on this on.
XOXO, JT
Ginny is not as good at this as she would have thought.
Not that she has daydreamed, planned, or even pondered this before. But if she had, Ginny is fairly certain that she would expect kissing in total darkness to be, if not easy, at least accomplishable. After all, people do it all the time, right?
Well, Ginny doesn’t. She’s always been able to see where her lips are going, and her eyes close after the kissing is already fully underway. She has never been accused of being a bad kisser, quite the opposite actually – which is why this is especially humiliating.
“Agh – the bloody – ow!” Draco screeches, jerking backwards. “What the – are you trying to kill me?”
“No!” Ginny snaps, because when she’s embarrassed she tends to take it out on people. “You moved! I was going to kiss you!”
Then, as an afterthought, “Lumos.”
Draco is leaning back against the wall, hands clutching his nose. His face is all screwed up in pain, and he is far from being the extremely entranced boy she had hoped. Instead, he’s just hurt and indignant. Why do Ginny’s plans never go the way they’re supposed to?
Still… It’s perhaps wrong to choose this moment to be stunned by his (masculine) beauty, but Ginny is. Maybe it’s the dim light that outlines him exactly right, or the way he’s just a little taller than her (ah, that’s it, she must have misjudged the height difference in the dark) or maybe it’s just the extremely close proximity (Filch’s closets are not exactly known for being large and roomy). In any case, Draco is appealing to Ginny on a very raw, visceral level right now, and she really wants to just kiss him.
Unfortunately, Draco has other plans. The moment she moves forward, he throws up his hands in a defensive shield. “Whoa, whoa,” he says. “Just… stay over there, Weasley. You might get my eye next.”
Ginny flushes deeply again, and even when she spots the slight smirk at the corners of his mouth and knows he’s messing with her on purpose now, she’s still not entirely sure that he doesn’t also really mean it.
Is he honestly through with her?
“But seriously,” Draco says, one hand coming back to rub gingerly at his nose while the other remains holding her off, “how are you not hurting? That was – I swear you nearly broke my nose.”
Ginny sniffs. “I,” she states with superiority, “have a very high pain threshold.”
Draco snorts, then winces and curses softly. Ginny smirks briefly at him, before returning to business.
She has decided that if Draco thinks he is through with her, a decent snog will change his mind. And even if it doesn’t – well, then she’ll at least get a decent snog, which will no doubt encourage her to keep on trying. He can protest all he wants (and Ginny will probably leave the light on this time), but they will kiss before they leave this closet.
She steps as close as she can and reaches for his hand to push it out of the way, but Draco grabs her wrist and holds it. “Weasley,” he says in a voice a little deeper than usual, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Ginny takes a deep breath. His eyes are curiously intense, and she can tell he’s actually serious this time. He knows what she’s trying to do, that’s not what he’s asking – he’s asking why. If she answers truthfully, she will be making herself vulnerable in the worst way.
She meets his eyes and does not blink (she is a Gryffindor, you know). “Securing a boyfriend.”
Draco looks –surprised, and – maybe? –pleased too. For half a second.
Then he smirks, and it’s just dripping with so much raw sexuality that Ginny can’t believe nothing has burst into flames yet. Or that nobody’s naked.
Ooh. That’s a nice image.
“Well,” Draco says, and he’s still leaning up against the wall, but somehow he’s lounging now, and sort of inviting her to just come closer and closer, “you’re not exactly going about it the right way.” His hand twists on her wrist and draws Ginny up to him, and she comes eagerly, thinking, yes, yes. “Shall I show you how?”
Draco’s hand is in the process of wrapping around Ginny’s back and hers are resting on his chest. Their feet are entangled in the narrow free space amongst the mops and dustpans, and his head is getting closer and closer to hers, his eyes burning. Ginny is more than ready to succumb to that look they hold, but –
She bursts out laughing. Draco stops short, and for a few seconds, Ginny is just laughing hysterically in his stiff grip.
“What, exactly, are you laughing at, Weasley?” Draco sounds almost petulant, and it only makes Ginny laugh harder.
“You – you – should I be worried, Draco?” Ginny chortles. “I mean I have to admit, I never would have thought that you would be able to give me advice on how to get a boyfriend, but you know it actually explains quite a bit –”
Draco’s cheeks turn pink, and he abruptly releases her. Ginny falls back into a crammed shelf, still laughing crazily, and her wand drops from her hands and goes out. “You – ” he says, and Ginny knows he wouldn’t be meeting her eyes if she could see his face, “I never said – stop laughing, dammit!”
Ginny can’t. She can’t really breathe either, which is a little unfortunate, but this is just so priceless, after all the look on his face...
When she finally recovers, Draco is sulkily silent. “Ah, come off it,” Ginny says, wiping her eyes. “You have to admit that was funny.”
He makes no sound, which Ginny takes as no I don’t. She bites her lip to avoid laughing again.
“Fine. Okay, I’m done. Really.” Ginny peers around for him in the darkness. “Argh, what happened to my bloody wand? I can’t see a thing.”
“Good,” Draco says, and for some reason he’s not exactly petulant anymore. “Then maybe I can teach you a thing or two.”
A hand reaches out from – somewhere, brushes her shoulder. It catches, and another one lands on her other shoulder. Together, they slowly move up.
“The trick is,” Draco says conversationally as he cups Ginny’s cheeks and tilts her head back slightly, “to go slow. You don’t need to pounce on your partner like a ravenous beast, you know.”
Ginny would say something in her defense here, but Draco has somehow effectively flipped the mood again, and she can’t really do anything but hold still. His thumbs brush the corners of her lips.
“Look before you leap,” Draco says, “so to speak.”
Then his lips descend carefully upon Ginny’s, and pretty much all thoughts other than oh yes leave her head. Draco really is good at this, as good as Ginny was bad, and her eyes slip closed (even if it makes no difference) as she melts into his embrace.
Oh yes. This is good. This is very, very good, and Ginny is getting very into it. She’s kissing back hard, and her hands are doing that thing where they don’t know whether to stay in his hair or clutching onto his neck or shoulders and what began as a relatively chaste press of lips is rapidly heating up this little supply closet.
Draco presses Ginny back up against some metal shelves, and she yanks him closer; he trips on a stray mop-handle and a pile of things go crashing into a wall. Neither of them really notice, as they are too busy taking a quick break to breathe.
“Does this mean I’m your boyfriend now?” Ginny asks, or probably pants.
Draco actually laughs, goes, “Cheeky–” and cuts himself off to kiss her again, hard. Ginny’s fingers skim the edge of his shirt and he groans.
He retaliates by doing something that makes Ginny moan shamefully loudly, and it’s just perfect and hot and –
Light floods them, blinding and sobering. They instinctively jerk away from each other, and Ginny bangs her funny bone into the corner of the shelf, making her grip it and curse in pain.
She spies her wand on the floor, engulfed in a very tall shadow, and suddenly begins to pray. Please, please, let it be no one, please don’t let this be happening, please-
“Mr. Malfoy,” a stern, disapproving, familiar voice says. “Miss Weasley.”
Ginny slowly lifts her head, squinting in horror at the terrible shape in the doorway. This can’t be, it’s all her worst nightmares come true –

Normally Ginny would be furious at Draco, for the disparity in their punishments if nothing else. But after a full two hours of smirking, he sets down his last gleaming cauldron (to be honest, Ginny would have expected him to be terrible at cleaning them by hand, but it appears his potions skill extends down to every last little detail – which is also just typical) and takes one of the remaining two polyturgs himself, scrunching up his nose in distaste.
Draco Malfoy is not the sort of boy that would do that for anyone. It takes someone special – and she isn’t talking about dark curly hair or affectionate dispositions or even very generous chests here – special as in someone he truly cares about. And even if he feels perfectly free insulting her and laughing at her attempts to kiss him and interrupting her and smirking at her and whatever else, Ginny has confidence that she may have actually won this little war of theirs. Because he will do all of this with glee, but at the same time as he explains why exactly having a bumpy nose is relevant (“When you charge at someone like a hippogriff and try to kiss them, it makes it that much more painful, Weasley” “You really are gay, aren’t you, if you’ve been noticing that about my brothers”) he will be peering into that one hole no one can explain on the higher part of the polyturg’s torso, checking for black spots.
And that’s got to be love.
....And THAT is my favorite part of this chapter AND story. :)
XOXO, JT
HEHEHE!
I do have some sort of undying,crazy love for Draco!
;P
Most ofmy reviews are mostly about him, unless ther characters REALLY do something great[and of course i love Ginny]
I'm so excited about the next chapter!
=D
kisses
HEHEHE
You'll enjoy my reviews then1
I love quoting, when i know the fic and i like it, i write the review while reading, so sometimes i'll guess right on what's going to happen and other times i go completely away from the reality so when you read you'll think: Didn't she read all the way through???
so now you know that it's only because i like quoting and reviewing!
^;^
kisses
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!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THEY KISS! THEY KISS! THEY KISS! THEY KISS! THEY KISS! THEY KISS!

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!
awesome very entertaining
Author's Response: Thank you.
hahaha This is adorable! And such a great theme / idea. Great job! ^_^
Author's Response: Thanks - well, you shouldn't actually thank ME for the idea, but thanks anyway!
I really like the charactization in this one and can't wait for the next chapter
Author's Response: Thank you. :)
this is one of my fave stories and cant wait to see what happens next. hopefully ginny can bring the draco we all love back.
Author's Response: Thank you! And have no fear, Ginny's more than capable.
HEEEEEE! (that's my excited laugh, not a drawn out word to describe a male, LOL). I loved this one, too. Imagining Draco as the zombie-like sloth was very funny, but I have a feeling that he was up to something. Ginny's thoughts, of course, were hilarious. You really do have a way with telling a story.
I look forward to reading the next chapter.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you for clarifying that laugh. I was SO confused. (Seriously, you amuse me so.) Oh, and thank you!
LOL! That was priceless. I loved this one. Draco's schemes were hilarious, but it was just perfect how Astoria turned the tables on him while he was too busy congratulating himself in his head.
And then he would win, as he should, and he’d also get to snog the Weasley. She’s had that coming for a while, and she certainly wouldn’t be expecting it either.
That made me laugh. Draco's thought process is so funny.
Author's Response: Thanks! I almost got stuck on how to turn this around, but then the same thing that ocurred to Draco popped into my head: why is Astoria in Slytherin? It was all downhill from there... And I love writing Draco in this story. He's so funny. :)
oh, poor draco! i guess ginny has a bit of slytherin in herself as well. that should teach him to mess with ginny! although, i do hope that the two of them are planning to snog the living daylights out of each other soon, and that draco will regain his snarky humor. it's so weird seeing him without being overly arrogant in the way that we all love. my heart went out to him when ginny dropped the photo of himself in front of her. i'm really, really anticipating next chapter, because it will be from his pOV and we will finally find out whether or not he has been faking it this entire time or not. oh, yes, and i'm glad that astoria is out of the picture and everything. it'd be terrible on ginny's conscience if astoria thing was between d/g relationship. and what an interesting position the two has ended up in at the end of the chapter... anyways, great job, and please update soon!
Author's Response: Ginny's always struck me as having that cunning Slytherin streak. But yes, the fallout from this act of his should be fun.
I like the chapter! I can't wait to see how Draco reacts to Ginny! I can't wait to read more! :)
Author's Response: I hope you'll like his reaction, it was a lot of fun to write.
“But then I started to notice how he was acting – you know, smirking at you all the time, and you blushing. So then I had to go talk to you, and once you told me you liked him and he was just trying to embarrass you –”
“I told you no such thing!” Ginny snaps. “I had no idea you had any ulterior motives in dating Draco – I would never have told you I liked your boyfriend!”
Astoria sighs. “Yes, well, I figured it out on my own then, didn’t I?
Hehe, thankfully she is a great friend and was not interested in him in that way otherwise she would just be really mad for noticing this!
i'm really glad you putted her POV this way!
it made everything way better!
At first, her gaze is triumphant and challenging. Then, as he continues to stare without saying or doing anything, she begins to grow uneasy. Still, he keeps her waiting, and it is only when she is about to say something herself just to break the heavy silence that he finally moves.
He hands her the photo. “Here,” he says, voice flat and expressionless, “You dropped this.”
Then he turns and leaves the hall. Ginny finds herself waiting desperately for the anger, for him to turn and glare at her, to say something vengeful, or even to pretend that he isn’t bothered by this at all – but nothing. He does nothing at all, but leave in silence, and soon the noise level is back to normal as the door shuts behind him.
POOR DRACO!!!
This was so so sad!
It makes me wish to go running into him and just hold him!
oh poor dear!
*pouts*
the only way Ginny sees to fix that is to verbally harass him for a bit, then kiss some sense into him. …Well, okay, there’s probably several other ways to do it, but Ginny likes this one best.
Don't we all just like this plan best?
*evil grins*
HEHE
I really enjoyed this although i am so very sad for Drakie-poo!
And i am absolutley dying of curiosity here to find out what he has up is sleeve[coy Draco=Cunning Draco and no one can convince me otherwise ;P].
Plus i wanna see waht gin is gonna do and more importantly what's going to happen NOW!
just "Hi" and leave is not an option!
When is the next one coming up?
^;~
kisses
Author's Response: Yeah, although I hope that Astoria would have appreciated Ginny's point of view even if she really DID like Draco. And - well, it seems that you have seen straight through coy!Draco, huh? Of course he could never just lay down and be the victim. This is Draco Malfoy we're talking about. :)
another great chapter. im really enjoying this story and cant wait to see what else ginny and draco got up their sleeves.
Author's Response: This story is turning out to be a bit of a prank war (of sorts) which I guess was foreshadowed with the beginning. I hope you continue to enjoy all their stunts.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, go Ginny!!!!!!!(I'm assuming that Ginny told Astoria everything and that's why she breaks up with Draco). You know, i started out hating Astoria (not b/c she's mean but just because she was the one with draco and ginny was, well, covered in green). i think i may adore the girl now. i just hope that draco won't go into that plotline, where he's angry that astoria has dumped hhim, therefore allowing him to have a newfound interest and respect for astoria, which will make lose sight of ginny, where he will vigorously pursue astoria to heal his masculine pride. i have faith in you though, for a good and satisfying d/g ending. :)
Oh, and by the way, i LOVED the fact that draco is already thinking about an impending relationship with Ginny even when he's dating her friend. that just seems so...slytherin and funny that he'd date astoria so he could get it on with ginny later.
" ...And of course she carries with her the added bonus of severely angering Potter & Co., though to be honest that’s never the first thing on Draco’s mind when he sees her. Or even in the top ten, really." this i liked because it showed he wasn't just interested in ginny because he wanted to annoy harry.
And then there's this part, "But it’s not as though dating Astoria is going to be some horrible chore after all, even if he isn’t particularly attracted to her. And this will give him more opportunities to be around Ginny. He can take the time to pave the way for their impending relationship; well, when he isn’t amusing himself by torturing her into a fit of jealous humiliation."
but the best? was this.
"No, this will be good. Draco can still dominate the playing field completely. He can picture it quite easily: he’ll have her cornered, her back up against a wall, and she will be wide-eyed.
“B-but – Astoria…” she’ll say, and Draco will smirk and shrug.
“I got bored.” He will lean close, and her face will flush red. “But you won’t bore me, will you, Weasley?”
He won’t let her answer. He will kiss her first, and after that he not only won’t let her have the time to respond, she won’t even be able to think of anything to say.
“Draco…” That will be the only word out of her lips! And Draco will be the uncontested victor, because he knows what he wants and he gets what he wants."
...and then the rest is history, as draco gets his ass handed to him on a platter by astoria and ginny.
Anyways, this is fast becoming one of my favorite stories. the chapters just keep getting better and better. I'm definitely LOVING the fast updates, and the development. I can't wait to see what happens and how ginny and draco will take this new development, and how this will affect their "impending relationship" awesome chapter, please update soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Whoa. Thanks for the excellent review. :) I'm especially glad that you ended up liking Astoria, because I'm in a similar boat. I will never be able to hate her again after writing this. :)
I really like how Astoria dumped Draco! And I like how she and Ginny were laughing! I can't wait to read more! :)
Author's Response: Little schemers, aren't they?
And of course she carries with her the added bonus of severely angering Potter & Co., though to be honest that’s never the first thing on Draco’s mind when he sees her. Or even in the top ten, really.
This was so sweet!
^;^
The Weasley knows he knows that she likes him. And she also knows that he knows that she knows that he knows she likes him. Add this up with her friendly attitude towards Astoria and pretense that Draco doesn’t exist, and it’s clear: she’s blaming him.
Oh yeah!
VERY clear!
;p
“I just wanted to let you know that I’m breaking up with you.”
“That’s nice, I – ” Draco stops. Suddenly. “What?”
HEHEHE
I LOOOOVED his reaction!!!!
And now she is laughing. With Ginny Weasley.
...He questioned her being in Slytherin why, exactly?
Hehe, Astoria's sweet way make us wonder but then she makes it clear as to why she's here.
Gin and Astoria were planning this while he was scheeming all by himslef!!
poor guy!
He doesn't stand a chance against Gin!

Author's Response: Haha, I'm glad you had so much fun with all these lines. I love it when people quote favorite lines to me. :)
Yes! Astoria beat him! The gap in the plan that he did not even foresee, because of his arrogance....And yet you can see that he isn't horrible, just horribly spoiled, and he has potential. I cannot WAIT for the next chapter!!!!!
Author's Response: Yeah, that's the best thing about my type of Draco: he's a prat, but not a hopeless one. And of course he's arrogant enough that he would never expect for something like this to happen to him. I mean, he's Draco Malfoy! Ha.
Oh mah goodness. I both want to applaud standing up five minutes straight for Draco, and slap him until he wails. This was incredible. THANK YOU!!!!
Author's Response: Just what I hoped for. Ha. Draco's a jerk here, but the type that you just have to admire. (Then get revenge on, of course.) Thank you!
