Just loved your characterization of Draco, Ginny and Harry!It was nice to see how you first built up the relationsip between Harry and Ginny and then taking a turn towards our favourite couple.:d Great Job!!

Amazing! I love your style of writing and how you characterize Draco. I think this is exactly hiw he would look at everything that has happened to his family. More please!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked Draco. I think if he were sent to Azkaban, even for a couple months, it would have a serious impact on him. :)

I really like the style of the writing in this fic. The story is really good. I like the sensation as time pass.
Author's Response: I wanted to write a fic that takes place over a long period of time without making it 50 chapters so I came up with this. Thank you!

The description is absolutely lovely in this! I really like the progressing relationship of DG, and how they don't automatically fall in love with each other. Please update soon! I want to know how they eventually get together.
Good job!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Haha, nope, they definitely don't insta-fall in love. :)

Oh, wow. This is amazing. I love the realism of this, and the characters are beautifully depicted in their cynical, bitter little way. Your descriptions are also very powerful, which is always a plus for me.
Very nice. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked the realism. I tried to make them as much like regular people as I could. :)

Brilliant.
What more can I say? Well, I can say a lot more, and I will. But to continue with the word brilliant: your prose is brilliant; your dialogue is brilliant; your characterisation is brilliant. I am truly in awe. There are very few stories that move me or excite me. Yours manages to do both.
To begin, you opening scene is magical, in a depressing way. Oh, and I say that in the nicest way possible. I mean, how do you take the compliment that you write funerals in a magical way? 'I had fun reading your descriptions about death and sorrow. Wee!' Well, needless to say that I am in love with your imagery and your description of everyone's reactions, especially George's muted anger.
Draco's scene is equally depressing. It’s made even gloomier with the fact that his entry is dated on his birthday. Poor lad. And while it is a horribly disheartening scene, I am captivated by his intuitiveness: There's something inescapably worth it in knowing a woman waits for you in a house the two of you can make a home. Sigh, chivalry is not dead with our Draco…or at least we hope not.
What I think I love the most about your writing, besides the fluid prose and delightful banter, is your casual commentary on certain characters--their development and their flaws: It's not enough to be the cleverest witch of her generation; [Hermione] wants tangible proof of it. Ginny wonders who she's trying to impress, these invisible critics only Hermione seems to see. Phenomenal. Spot on.
And Luna's tea party and pep talk with Draco? Fantastic! I just love how you pay attention to every detail. Your writing is such a pleasure to read. You have the ability to make me laugh, smile, and gasp--especially the scene where Draco is sleeping, and Ginny wakes him up. God, you paint such a vivid picture. I could see his confusion and fear--the animal instinct taking over.
And as the timeline progresses, you subtly and artfully demonstrate the maturity of our characters--and make them even more entertaining. Your banter just gets better and better. And the fluidity and naturalness of it? Brilliant! (I don't think I used the word 'brilliant' enough when associating it with you, wouldn't you agree?) ^_~
I cannot wait to read what happens next. I shall definitely be keeping an eye out for what you have to offer us next.
Amazing read. Amazing job.

But the fact that Draco waited for her to be "old enough to fuck" and that she was "so beautiful it hurts him to meet her again"... That's bother me terribly. I don't like to see Draco like that.
Author's Response: I understand and I'm sorry about that. I don't know if this'll make you feel any better but all the events in this story change Ginny and Draco for the better. As they are at the beginning of the story (and end of canon), it's not likely that they'd be together but over time, life prepares them both so that one day, they can open themselves up to each other.

Wow. This is some of the best prose I've read on this site in quite some time. I love your creative phrasings and metaphors, and many of your sentences have a lovely rhythm to them. Your characters and plot are also, of course, extremely compelling. Looking forward to reading everything you write.
Author's Response: Oh, thanks so much for reading! This was my first sojourn into D/G but it certainly won't be my last. :)

Excellent. I'm eagerly waiting for more!
Except for the bit about Astoria. That literally made my stomach turn. Ugh. I don't want to think about Draco being enamored with Astoria! It heresy! The epilogue does not exist! There is no Astoria! (There is no spoon; there is no spoon; THERE IS NO SPOON!)
Author's Response: Thank you! LOL. Don't worry. Astoria won't be showing up again. There's a reason I never even name her in the story. XD
