Blaise is one of my favorite secondary characters, I just love him. And Harry...well I often don't like him in Fanfic, unless he is already paired with someone. I especially don't like him when he has an entitled attitude, like he does here.
Author's Response: So glad you like Blaise. I love him too. And Harry, well, at least my version (along many others who share our ship) of Harry is very entitled, as you say. I think of him as taking Ginny for granted, which I think he does in canon, and go from there. He has a tendency to be tunnel visioned, too. Add in my never-ending war and the highly disfunctional relationships he's had as an adult, and you get this Harry who is willing to whatever it takes to hold onto what he thinks is right. ... Anyway :) thanks for the review!
Loved Blaise! And I hope that Luna loves him to, I always love them paired up! Can't wait to read the hell those to can cause when working together!!! Great Job!
Author's Response: I like them together as well. In fact, they play a much bigger part in my other fic, Marry Me. Sorry, I can't remember if you have read that. Thanks so much for the review. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Blaise is always one of my favorite characters in stories. He can go so many different directions. This chapter was great but it is almost as bad as a cliffhanger!! I want/need more!
Author's Response: You're right about Blaise, he's fun because we know so little about him in canon. Sorry about the cliffhanger aspect. It was really like one giant one I guess since not a lot happened. Thanks so much for reviewing! I should be posting again soon.
I love Blaise! :) And, as always, I loved this chapter.
More soon, please!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you love Blaise. He's a nice addition to Draco's camp. Thanks for the review!
I wish his trial was over and done with :S And someone PLEASE throw Potter in Jail :P! Framing is a crime. Not even he should be able to get out of it. Abuse of power and trust 'in the name of justice' is BS lol. Ah well I shall stop my rant on the corrupt magical society and wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: I love your rant on corruption within the magical society! The story really won't get political, but I do find your ideas very interesting. Thanks so much for the review!
I'm impressed with the turn this fic has taken. There's a reason why there are so few D/G "baby" fics of merit, and I really think a big part of the problem is that authors are just too tempted to fluff out into narratives about how utterly perfect everyone's lives instantly became. But if Draco has been a double agent for both the DE's and the Order, that simply wasn't going to happen here. The only way to be true to the reality of the story is to honestly deal with what would happen if Draco actually showed up at the Weasleys' home, Ginny and child in tow, after the events of the past few years. And that's what you did do.
Now, I do think that both Draco and Ginny were being unrealistic in imagining that they weren't likely to run into some serious problems by just popping up out of nowhere, but maybe that's what happens after being cooped up in the same house for two years. They'd both woven a fantasy for themselves by remaining locked away for the world for such a long time-- not saying that's good or bad, but I think that's why they walked into this.
Anyway, I have a tendency to stay far, far, FARRRRRR away from the baby fics... if you read the nightmarish first (and last) one I ever wrote, you'd understand. ;) But this one is interesting, and believe me, that's a big compliment!!
Author's Response: Well, first of all, thank you for this generous review! I know you are picky, so I really appreciate the compliments.And I agree with what you said about the baby fics. It was very difficult to keep the fluff from taking over part two of this fic. I think that's why I introduced the outside world then. It needed some contrast with the "normalcy" of their lives within the house. As for them being unrealistic, I did try to show their hesitancy in returning and a bit of the old Draco coming back through. I also didn't want to spoil the twist that was coming in part three.
I have not read your baby fic - though I am intrigued. Again, thank you! I hope you conitnue to enjoy it.
I like that you brought in Blaise instead of some no-name litigator. I love that Draco has people on his side now. Harry was a little softer in this chapter, and I almost found myself sympathizing with him. The way Ginny responded to him was great. Looking forward to more! :)
Author's Response: Thank you. And I love your reaction to Harry. So glad you picked up on him or maybe it's his motivations. He's not an evil person in this fic. Selfish, for sure. But not evil. Thanks again for the review!
This is awesome! Can't wait for the next chapter. U know, now that Blaise has mentioned that Harry might have set him up, I might think that it's really possible. Maybe it's cos that he really din know that the place that hermione lost her baby was a trap. Harry would do anything to get ginny back. I can't wait for to c how this story will turn out! Although... I really have to ask, how many more chapters r there. As much as I like the story, I really want to find out if they'll get their happily ever after!
Author's Response: Thank you! And your theories are very interesting. I look forward to your reaction when it's all said and done - which should be by chapter 40 or 41. Thanks so much for the review. I should be posting again soon!
Personally, I want Harry to have to take the veritaserum, but I can understand that it makes for a more involved story that they have to find another way. Very good chapter, I'm looking forward to the next one!
Author's Response: Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed this chapter, I worried that it was too much filler. Thanks so much for the review!
