Wow I'm riveted! I really loved the beginning when you were laying out the every thing that's different from the books. This is an awesome story, I can't wait to start obsessively reading this!

Aw, I liked this chapter. Some difficult moments for the characters, but then the darker stuff was balanced by the very sweet glimpses of a blossoming romance. I love that they held hands and that Draco understood what he was missing. Also like the costume: interesting choice, but fitting also.
Can I just say that I am so glad you made it very clear that Lucius has never and would never raise a hand (or wand) against his family. Granted, in some stories the abuse does work, but I get annoyed when people make Lucius out to be an abusive father/husband just because he is a Death Eater. The world is not black and white, and someone who kills and follows a megalomaniac like Voldemort doesn't necessarily have to be completely cruel and horrid. Rant over.
Anyway, this was a lovely chapter. I look forward to seeing how the dance goes.
Author's Response: Rant loved! I agree wholeheartedly! The dance shows us a lot of new things. It was my way to introduce the single most important element to the story. Thanks for your review, doll!

Draco liked to think that every life he took had meaning. Not the life itself, but the act of taking it. Every time he took a life, there was a good reason for it, and reasons meant something to him
I really appreciated that line. I can handle a dark!Draco, but it makes it so much easier to like him if you can at least understand why he does cruel things. I like the fact he will only kill if he thinks he has a reason to do so.
This chapter was particularly good. I felt that we got to understand a bit more about the characters, and I thought the way you dealt with Ginny's PTSD was very real. I've gone through that before - the memory loss and then suddenly rediscovering those memories much later - and it's horrible and really does leave you so shaken. I'm glad Ginny has Draco to turn to.
Author's Response: Ginny's PTSD feels real because I base it off mine. It was very hard to write some chapters, and Anise had to literally coach me through it. I would shut down and curl into a ball and cry while writing some parts, but it was important that I wrote it. This is a real thing. She has to have it after what she went through. You will see more of it the further in you go.
Thanks again for your kind words. I try hard to give a glimpse into the psyche of Draco, in hopes the reader connects. It's good to know I have done well.

Of Death Eater Meetings on Mar 08, 2012 03:57 pm
What a fascinating chapter. I can't wait to get back into this story properly and certainly plan to once in my new house.
Draco is a complex character and one that I feel is holding back a lot more (even from the readers) than he lets on. I like the fact he is so in control, though. He knows what he has to do to be a good Death Eater, but I think that might cause a bit of complications for him later on. Especially if he allows those feelings for Ginny to blossom a bit more.
I said before that I loved your use of the books. It brings a whole new level to this story and is one that, surprisingly, isn't used very often. I enjoyed the glimpse of Narcissa's 'teenage' self, and am glad you are not shying away from showing the human lives behind the Death Eater masks. Even people who appear to be 'evil' still have feelings and can love.
Author's Response: We see a lot of Draco's character in the future chapters. He is quite complex. I am glad you liked the chapter and took the time to review. It made my night so much better.

This is super interesting! I've never heard of anyone incorporating the devil with voldemort, in fanfiction at least. You just got tremendous kudos points from me ;D I really LOVE that your story is unpredictable and that you grab the reader's attention with every chapter, it's written very well, the plot keeps developing at a good pace and doesn't stray off, plus the characters are not written too OOC. To me these things constitute a GREAT fanfic!
Sadly I have no questions for this chapter but I am hoping for a D/G interaction soon ;) Keep up the good work!!!

I just read this entire story in one day, on and off my subway rides. This story should have more reviews and recognition than it does. An original, believable, well-written story. I love the complexity in which you portray Draco and Ginny's relationship, it is very original and fresh. I anxiously await the next chapter and will recommend this to my friends :) keep up the FANTASTIC work :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! It means so much to me! The next chapter will be a bit longer getting up, but will be sometime this month. It's already written and just needs to be tweaked a bit. Hoping to see more of your reviews!

-gasp- How awful that the person Draco has turned to for help is actually the one causing it all. I'm intrigued by this mental prison Ginny's mind has conjured up, is it the dark lord trapping her in there, or was it ginny's mind trying to protect itself from further invasion? And who was the man that Kora mentioned who came out of a possession and tried to kill them all? I thought at first it was the dark lord but then it would imply he had been possessed by someone else. I like that you've written this to make it difficult to find out who the culprit is. The one person who's fault it is has simply taken these memories with him, so who knows how Draco will find out. At least Draco knows the Dark Lord wants her physically, and if the Dark Lord wants her how come Draco didn't get punished for touching her?
lol okay enough with the questions. Can't wait till next chapter ;D
Author's Response: So many questions! But I like them!
It wasn't the Dark Lord trapping her there. He's been doing some work behind the scenes. ;o) The Dark Lord was not the person possessed. Who it is isn't important. It's the fact that she said it that IS. You'll find out why the Dark Lord wanted this relationship to happen later on. It's going to be huge. And I mean HUGE.
As for who the mystery man is... *whistles and walks away*

Ohhh... thanks! :) Yes, this is an intense chapter. But I do think that a lot of things really start to come into play here. I don't know if Draco could have realistically started to see the price he might have to pay for choosing to be a DE in any other way-- he's sworn to be Voldy's loyal servant, but that would now mean giving up Ginny. I'm really not sure how you're going to get them out of this one. I don't think you'll get to the point where you have to use the ending that a former bf of mine often used to bring up when something just went on TOO long...
"There was a big car crash, and everybody died."
"How did the Dukes of Hazzard movie end?"
"Oh, there was a big car crash, and everybody died."
"How did the dinosaurs become extinct?"
"There was a big car crash, and everybody died."
You get the idea. I'm really tired... Nighty night... ;)
Author's Response: Anise, my dearest! No, that will not be the ending. I have two written. One of them will be used. Not sure which one. As for Draco getting them outta all this... that's a very good question. But when I asked him about it, this is what he said.
Me: Draco? *knocks on door*
Draco: Go away! *throws teddy at door*
Me: What's wrong?
Draco: He wants to take my woman! And you won't even tell me how to stop him him! And you won't let me see her between scenes!
Then it goes black. So yeah, that's nothing. Yet. But I'm off for two days, so hopefully I can figure something out, as well as send you the next chapter.
Now I am tired. Nighttt.

Well I havta say, I'm a little freaked out. I had to go back and make sure there was no character death warning before I started the next chapter. I am interested in seeing where this is going. I like the weasley element in this story. I am fascinated by their out right defiance against the order that turned its back on them.
Author's Response: There is character death. Like ten people have died so far. Seriously. Just not Draco or Ginny. It's a bit intense and will continue to be intense. But I'm glad you like it!
