Always so sad =( One of these times, I'll resist the call of your talent. The worst part is that you're such a superb writer, I enjoy all the sad. I'm kinda disappointed in Gin though. I know she's hot headed, but you'd think after years of marriage to Draco, she'd mature a little and not go immediately running to Ron about Draco screwing up. Of course, if she hadn't there wouldn't be that wonderful sense of satisfaction when Draco told him what's what. I REALLY hope that you'll give them a HEA, but either way I'm sure it'll be as beautifully written as this and all of your works. Thanks for sharing!

This is a really fantastic piece that evokes a lot of emotion from within readers. Thank you for writing it but one thing irked me - Draco's eyes are grey, not blue and well being a lover of Drakie that's all I have to complain but thank you for writing it!

That's so sad. I would love to know if Draco and Ginny would be able to get back together.
Author's Response: Well, you'll find out in the coming sequel(s). Thanks for your review. :D

But was it with the same women of many?
Author's Response: It was one woman, six times, over three years.

Wow! This piece was really sad. I'm really glad that you wrote this, though. As a woman who knows about infidelity, it always hurts. I've kind of been on the prowl of a good DG fic where one (or in this case, both) cheat on the other and the cheater has to, well, make up and grovel and regain the trust of the other, letting us as readers see insight on why the cheater cheated in the first place. Now, this may be a bit different because they both cheated (even though, Draco's case is severely worse and I feel like Gin did it because he was distanced and cheating on her). But, I hear that you are writing a follow-up (yay! please do, and post it soon!!!), so I have hope that they will--through a lot of pain and hard work--work through it together. Normally, couples who do face infidelity and talk it over and work it out claim that they are stronger after the infidelity than ever before. I really hope the case is true for our DG. I like that you can see Draco's remorse at the end, and that he was the to tell her (rather than having Gin find out). There's hope in that, I think.
P.S. I think your characterization of Harry is spot-on, and I think the girl is Pansy. Or one of the Greengrass sisters. It is one of the HP original characters, right?
Anyways, good job! Please update the follow-up soon!
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I'm really glad to see you enjoyed it. As a guy who's been on both sides of this story, it felt like a piece that needed to be written. Yes, there will be a follow-up (at least one) because ideas just keep popping up along this plotline. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the characterization of Harry and as for the female, well, I can neither confirm nor deny if you are correct. The sequels, however, will hold the answer. Once again, thank you for the review. LP

He cheated six times over three years with the same woman you mean? And while I admire your ability to spin "writer's intrigue" there is nothing wrong with saying outright whom a character is if not now. In future installments. All love a mystery, but a mystery is found even in the most laid out straight forward and full of decsription works as well. Also why is this "Definitly Naughty" when nothing about it is suggestive smut wise. Its suggestive when it comes to adultry, but only mildly. It just seems like "Sorta Naughty" or below is a better suit.
Author's Response: Thanks for your review. I didn't come out and say directly who the woman Draco cheated with was because 1) there never seemed like a proper time to put it in the story because sometimes women simply don't want to know (though sometimes they do) and I didn't want Draco just coming out and being like "Oh, by the way, it was so-and-so" and 2) I liked it better with people guessing instead of knowing. As for the rating, I placed it there because of the actual cheating scene and because I felt it was safe there. Could it have been a "Sorta Naughty"? Perhaps. But I'd rather not take the chance. Again, thanks for the review.

Hmm... they both cheated though. I guess it's a bad relationship, but it always takes two.
Author's Response: Indeed. Thanks for your review.

Sorry that I forgot to address this is dgloves70's review, but here goes. I'm leaving it up to the reader to decide why Draco cheated. It could be for any number of reasons, any of the multitude of reasons guys cheat in the real world, be it a feeling of invulnerability, loneliness, the need for something different, the thrill, etc. But that's up to the reader.

WAHHHH!!! Ouch! I really love this story. You made me cry. I would really love to see another chapter. It's killing me not to know what happened to them after that, even if they didn't end up together. Thanks for the story and I look forward to reading more of your work (^_^)
Author's Response: There actually is a follow-up planned for this. I have the plot all laid out I just need to get down to writing it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review. :D

I was a tad confused. I was sad that that Draco cheated on her but what did he miss about her that made him turn to Blaise? Why did Harry think that his time was now? How did Draco come up with the conclusion that no one could contain Ginny?
Other than that, a good love story of star crossed lovers..
Author's Response: I'll try and straighten things out for you if I can. Draco didn't turn to Blaise, he turned to an unnamed ebony-haired girl. I have my own thoughts about who it is, but I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions. Harry thought his time was then because, well, he's Harry. He ALWAYS thinks it's his time. And Draco never said no one could contain Ginny, he was just saying that he thought Harry wasn't right for her. Hope that clears things up. Thanks for the review.
