I enjoyed this chapter so much that I didn't realize til quite awhile later that you left out the result of Ginny's pregnancy test. How very sneaky of you! lol I'm thinking maybe you'll tell us when she tells Draco; but what do I know? I think you made a good choice by summarizing the newspaper article instead of rewriting stuff we already know. I like that Ron made a teensy bit of an effort to soften up a bit. I'm also curious about the gem from the wedding vial - whether that might mean it partially worked, or something like that. I still have my speculations as to why it failed. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter. :)

Author's Response: Yay! Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, the pregnancy test results will be known soon. *smiles bashfully* And thanks for answering my question in regards to the article. Also, good to know you picked up on Ron's efforts, albeit small, to show some kindness. More on the stone in the next chapter. Thanks so much for reviewing!

DON'T STOP! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, please don't stop writing this story! This is such a brilliant and amazing and heart-wrenching and engaging story. I don't read fanfics as often as I used to but it is these kinds of stories that make me come back eventually. Oh ma gosh, I could not stop reading. For your first fanfic you dang sure started with a bang. I'm still reeling over the past events. Draco's capture and Ginny's retarded family. I think I have cursed at the stupid golden trio more than once. Never hated Harry more than ever than in this story. Most D/G has some baad Harrys. What I love most about this story is that the concept of Ginny trapped in a safe house has been done before but you have just molded it into your own unique twist. It's brilliant. I even like that Weasley's dont trust him, because you woud have expected otherwise from a reunion. Wow. That's all I can say now. Wow.

Author's Response: Yay! I love to hear from a new reader/ reviewer! Thanks so much! And no worries, this puppy is completed already. I just need to rework and edit, which I do weekly, and then post the next chapter. And I'm so blown away by your comments. Really. Thank you.

Sorry for causing all the cursing and hating, but I'll take that as a compliment that I've done my job in writing good characters. And I was hoping this story would bring something a little new to the whole trapped (or bound or forced marriage or unknown curse linking them together) plot device. This little plot bunny lived in my head for probably a year before I began writing. So glad to know it's coming across unique in some ways.

Again, thank you so so much for this generous review! I hope to hear more from you. :)

I really can't wait for this to all blow up in Harry's face. And I'm so pulled apart by Ron, with loseing the babyhe needs someone to blame but what happens when there isn't anyone to push that on... great work as always!

Author's Response: You are definitely not alone in the anti-Harry camp, but it is refreshing to read some sympathetic thoughts on Ron. There's some more Ron scenes to come, and I look forward to seeing what you think. Anyway, thanks so much for the review and the compliment!

I think that I would have liked to read the article, but I am sure we all have an idea of what it said. Very good chapter!

Author's Response: Sorry you didn't get to read it, but I promise it wouldn't have said anything new. Thanks so much for reviewing! And the compliment!

And once again, a Friday made happy thanks to you:)

Sorry for not reviewing before but finals got crazy and then family gatherings went over the top, the only time I had left to read this was sometime after midnight when it was not so crazy..

So I just wanna know, is she pregnant? Or is that like an extended cliffie? Cause if it is, cool just don't stretch it out too too much cause I might die

I think pansy and George should be locked in a room by themselves for a few hours ;) I think the result would make Harry suffer a coronary.

Yay for mysteriously found red stones!! Double yay!!

I liked the small smile Ron gave hermione at the burrow, that was enough to humanize him and show a bit of how deep his pain and anger really goes.

And I liked how dumb Harry sounded when he explained his meeting with shacklebot to Ron, I totally thought, did you really think that was gonna hold up? for reals?

And I realize I sound a bit too much like Harry hater but I actually love him in canon, you just have made him this way ;P

Can't wait for the next chapter :)

Author's Response: Aww! That really made me smile, so once again, a review from you made ME happy! No worries about being busy - totes understand. Thank you!

And yeah, the answer to the pregnancy is coming, but not next chapter. Sorry. You aren't the only observant reader who caught that missing bit of info. :)

And I like your thoughts on George and Pansy - and Harry's reaction! Yes, yay for mysterious stones. (More to come on that ... eventually.) Glad you picked up on Ron's little moment. He really is just an open wound. Both happy and sad you hate my Harry. I guess that means I have written him well? I know he's not canon, but I tried to build off of some of his canon qualities.

Anyway, thank you so much!

Harry is stupid. If there weren't any lost memories, how can they supposedly 'recover' them??? Either way, splendid, absolutely splendid! Wish it could be longer though... If u wouldn't mind, I would like to strangle everybody that is being stupid, but that would mean u wouldn't be able to continue the story cos their dead and I wouldn't be able to read more cos I'll be convicted for the murder of 'the great Harry Potter', and family blah blah blah... How many chapters are there left??? Can't wait for the next chapter. Would u mind posting bi-weekly when u
r not so busy??? Please??? Oh and does ur beta write stories???

Author's Response: Yes, he's stupid when it comes to accepting change. And Healer Cerletti did not get to finish her testing so they are still under the belief that with further testing, Ginny will recover her real memories. Yes, please don't strangle my characters, even if you wouldn't be convicted, I'm sure the rest of the readers would like to finish the story. :)

There are about six chapters left. And I post weekly because it gives me time to reply to the reviews and clean up the next chapter. I just spent quite some time last night reworking a scene from the next chapter. Sorry I can't get it done faster.

Thanks so much for the review! And for the love! I should be posting tomorrow. Oh yes, my beta does write stories. You should check her out. She's on this site and ff.net. Thanks again!
