I am *begging* you from the bottom of my heart to include even a shred of happiness in the next chapter! lol :)
This was fantastic. Painful, but fantastic. I never saw this coming. How harsh was Harry, not even to let her kiss Draco goodbye or to let him finish his "I love you"?! I agree with some of the other reviews, that under normal circumstances Ginny would have put up more of a fight. But these were clearly not normal circumstances; and I'm pretty sure that she was just stunned by her family's behavior. That being considered, I love how unyielding she was with Hermione. Way to hold onto your bitterness, Ron and Hermione! I'm hoping that by the end of this fic they will be able to work through their grief enough to forgive. I really think that by putting Draco and Ginny through all of this, the truth will come out, and the Weasleys will have their doubts put to rest and be able to accept their daughter's new family. I just can't believe that Draco intentionally gave Harry bad information. I'm also counting on George to be the hero for Ginny, and go to Narcissa with what he knows.
Now I am going to read something happy while I wait for the next chapter. ;)
Author's Response: Well, I hate to say it, but you may have to wait a little bit longer for that shred of happiness. I'll have the candy dish ready at the beginning of the next chapter. :)And thank you for the compliment! So glad I could surprise you, too. I was hoping that the readers wouldn't see this coming. And yes, Ginny is definitely not a wallflower, but she is wandless and kind of shocked that her family has betrayed her. And thanks for noticing her strength in the Hermione scene. Your comment on Ron and Hermione made me laugh.
I hope you found something really happy to read. And I look forward to reading your next review! :)
I'm trying hard to care about the family and how they feel...but I don't. Where was Harry when Ginny was gone all that time? looking for her? No! He was shagging Pansy! Boo Hoo, I love you Ginny, but I have to keep shagging Pansy (who I like in this fic by the way...let her have George). And I know Ron is grieving, but he hasn't really acted liked he cared about Ginny this entire story. I could understand how he reacted to Ginny in this chapter if not for the fact that last chapter he was pissed at her for not jumping in Harry's bed.
This is my first review for this story but I do love it and look daily for the updates. I'm going to need more than candy though if there's going to be more drama.
Author's Response: Well, firstly, thank you so much for reviewing! I love to get hear from new readers!Okay, I completely understand your feelings towards the family. I love your commentary on Harry. And you are right. Ron has completely shut down when it comes to dealing with his sister's abduction. He even said he considered her dead at one point (somehwere back in part two). I think that is what has made it so easy for him to react in this manner.
And as for the candy... you might want to stock up a bit. Sorry. :)
Honestly, I think that Draco thought the information would help and didn't know it was a trap. It's pretty clear at this point that Voldemort knew something was up with Draco and that he couldn't trust Draco.
If I were Ginny I would stun Hermione, Ron and her mom and get out of there. If she can find George then he can take her to Narcissa and sort the mess out.
Author's Response: I love your thoughts on Draco's spying. Very interesting... As for Ginny, she has no wand. They took Draco's wand when they arrested him. I suppose she could steal one from someone, but well ....Thanks so much for the review! I look forward to seeing your reaction to what is coming. :)
*take the imaginary candy* not enough... *siff* will go out to buy some chocolate frog. will be back for chapter 30 *deep sigh*
:)
Author's Response: Awe ... I hope you found some chocolate frogs. Thanks for the review. Just hang in there with me. There is still some more drama to come. :)
I have adored this story for so long! It kills me how helpless Ginny is in this chapter. I hope she shows her family what she is made of again.
Author's Response: Thank you! It's so awesome to hear from someone new. (Right? I don't remember seeing your name before.) And You are right about Ginny. She is rather helpless, but she is a little in shock and she has no wand. I would love to see what you think of her in the coming chapters. Thanks so much for reviewing!
I can't believe Ginny let them take her husband with out a fight :O!! Who cares if the baby is crying? Compared to having your husband arrested, calming a baby (who wont remember it 5 minutes later) is not important :O. I hope Cissy comes in and knocks some sense into everyone. Great chapter!! Loved the drama, confusion and anger :) Suspense swooped right in at the right time.
Author's Response: I love your passion in this review! But remember, Ginny has no wand. And I think it's just completely shocking to her that she is being betrayed by her own family. I agree, though, that she is not one to take things lying down. I hope you enjoy some of her choices in the coming chapters. Thanks so much for the review! And the compliments!
Augh! Why would you do that? It's so mean. But seriously, interesting plot development, I'm still curious about what really happened between Harry and Draco before he went into hiding. And I'm still waiting for Harry to get his commupence....
Author's Response: I know, it's not intentionally mean. I promise. But there has to be some consequences for choices made in the past. Well, that's cryptic, isn't it? Thanks for reviewing!
You knew it had to come out. I was sad what the family did but it is all about the healing process. The whole family is mourning all over again. I know Hermione and Ron need to vent; Harry had to make known his feelings truthfully & Ginny has to say some things to her family and to Draco. I cannot wait to see Narcissa and her reunion with Draco and the grandchild. You are killing me with your endings.. :( can nothing go right?
Author's Response: I love your attitude about this. And hopefully, you will stick with me as this next drama progresses. Sorry about the endings. Thanks so much for the review! I hope to hear more of your thoughts in the future. :)
This is just so... Ugh! How could they do this? Can't they just use veritaserum to check? A pensieve? Hope there's a happy ending! Awesome as usual though.
Author's Response: I know, I'm sorry. Your questions will be addressed in the coming chapters. Just hold tight, we still have a way to go. Thanks for the review and the compliment even though it was such a depressing read. :)
