"Well, I like Christmas dinner." was probably one of my favorite responses in this entire story thus far simply because it totally reminds me of something I would say.
On one hand I feel bad for Harry, on the other, well, he's spent years using Pansy as a plaything so I can't really feel THAT sorry for him. As for Ron, anger may be one of the stages of grief but he needs to see the glass half-full here. I mean, his sister is alive and happy and hasn't spent years in a torture chamber. So he doesn't like her choice in a husband but that's not his call, it's hers.
Safe to say I loved this. :) I can't wait to see how Narcissa reacts when she learns that her son is alive. That reunion has to be WAY easier on our fav couple that this one. I mean, Ginny DID save Draco's life so doesn't Narcissa kind of have to like her? hahahaha
Author's Response: Thank you! And I liked that line a lot too. So, your concerns about Ron are completely accurate. He should be relieved, but he's not. The coming chapters explore more of what he is thinking. In fact, I just posted today. I would love to see what you are thinking. Thanks again for the review and all the support. :)
Well i can't wait for them to love Draco they have to.... well maybe not Ron, but maybe he could learn not to want to kill him. Excite for more!!!
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing! I know you want them all to see how amazing Draco is, but I will warn you that it won't come easy. Sorry, I know that's vague, but I don't want to give too much away. Thanks again!
I love the reunion with the brothers. They love their sister enough to be (at least reluctantly) supportive. Ron's and Harry's behavior was no surprise. Molly is a lot colder than I expected, though. Not only is she snubbing Draco, but she's rejecting the idea that her daughter is happy (and was happy during her time away). I didn't expect Molly to be thrilled with the new family; but I thought there might be a bit of understanding or empathy (a sort of mother-daughter bonding) now that Ginny is a married woman with a child. So that was a little unsettling. I'm hoping to understand her position more (and see it resolved) in upcoming chapters.
Nevertheless, I love the tenderness between Draco and Ginny. Their love does not falter under scrutiny; and they continue to be a source of strength and security for one another. Their interactions also help relieve some of the heaviness in this part of the story. I enjoyed the quip about Christmas dinner. ;)
Author's Response: Molly is a tough one for me. I kind of like her a little bit mean, short-tempered for sure. Things will continue to explore her stance on Ginny's (and Draco's and Thuban's) arrival. I only hope that I have written it well enough that readers like you won't be wondering about her choices. I'm sure you will tell me your thoughts and I look forward to them all - even if you are not happy with it.Thanks so much for the love towards the reunion otherwise and for the Draco and Ginny moments. I really loved that last little scene. It was nice to bring out snarky Draco for a moment again. Thank you!
Not going to leave a constructive criticism I'm afraid, just want to let you know that this... is what I'm looking forward to read each week. Can't wait for chapter 29 (^_^)
Author's Response: Awe, that's so sweet. I really appreciate the review - even without the constructive criticism. :) I will warn you that things will get a bit dramatic in the next chapter. I'd love to hear what you think. Should be posted by the weekend. :)
I read all 28 chapters tonight! I love it, can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Yay! A new reader! I'm so excited to hear from you. Thank you so much for the review, and I'm so glad you are enjoying it. Please keep telling me your thoughts. I have updating weekly and the plan is to continue to do so. Next chapter should be up by the weekend. :)
Awesome! Can't wait for the next chapter. B4 I could see what might and might not happen. But now that the weasleys and Harry know already only narcissa doesn't. What will happen after everyone knows of draco's return? Please give a little clue.
Author's Response: Thank you! A lot happens in the next chapter, and I hope to get it out this week. Thanks so much for the review! It makes my day to get them. :)
