Great chapie, love how the fake ginny & astoria act with their husbands! i think fake ginny went to far with harry! harry & draco are so clueless this situation.. onwrd to the next exciting chapie!!
Author's Response: So glad you're enjoying the story so far :) Thanks so much for the reviews :)
Yes he is a Malfoy, isn't he?
I always adore d/g, but I'm quite enjoying Harry/Astoria as well - and I never expected that.
Author's Response: I'm going to take that as a huge compliment then. :) I, personally, hadn't ever read a H/A fic either, but when this plot bunny came to me I figured I'd go for it. Thanks for the review!
Wonderful. :) Very well done! More Draco development please!
Author's Response: Thanks! The next chapters will see more of Draco, I promise! Thanks so much for the reviews :)
This gets exciting now! I wonder if Scorpius will really tell if Draco will not know it before the day ends. And the abrupt change in Draco and Harry's behavior shows that they are really comfortable with their "wives". :) Hope to see the next chapter soon!
Author's Response: Thank you! The way the men were behaving was designed for exactly that purpose. I said to another reviewer earlier that, even though they don't realize it, they still ARE in new relationships and it's going to make them behave differently. As for Scorpius, I'm not telling! :) Thanks for the review!
Pretty good stuff. I just feel bad Ginny's bubble has been burst before Astoria's. I was wondering how the children situation would work out with their switch and all. I mean I knew that the wives would have to deal with falling for the other's husbands, but what will happen to the kids? I'm assuming the wives will want to be with their respective children, but it wouldn't be fair to take them away from their fathers, it's an intriguing plot you have here :) I also like the way you've written Scorpius, it's definitely refreshing I can see both his parents personalities reflected on him. I loved the Yoko reference, I think it fits even tho it's considered muggle music :D
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you like Scorpius and the Yoko reference, but I'm not going to comment on the rest because I don't want to give anything away. Don't worry; you will receive answers, all in due time. :)
Just started reading this story and I'm already loving it! Such a unique twist compared to other fanfics I've read. I can't wait to see what's next!
Author's Response: Yay, I'm so excited I've got a new reviewer! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it so far. :)
great work! well done
Author's Response: Thank you!
I like the chapter and how well they seemed to be getting along with the wrong spouse. I can't wait to read more! :)
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying, and thanks for the review!
I'm glad for the plot progression but Draco and Harry are acting a bit too much like they're in new relationships, ("Hey! A picnic and a tickle-fest in the middle of nowhere!" "Let's have a flour-fight!")for the chapter to have been really believable.
Author's Response: I'm sorry that you didn't find it believable, but you've got to remember that they actually are in new relationships, the men just don't realize it. This chapter is supposed to show that their switch is having a greater effect on their lives than they realized. It's not only making them try to be people they're not, but its also cmaking their husbands (and this is a total cliche) fall in love again. Hopefully this helps you understand why I made the choices that I did! Thanks for the review :)
Oh, no! It's Yoko!
I must have missed this update. Silly me. I liked this chapter, though I'm sad the story is drawing to a close. Or at least I assume so. Still, I really enjoyed the Draco/Ginny scenes, and the Astoria/Harry scenes were also lovely. I actually didn't mind that you glossed over the lunch/Quidditch. Sometimes it is necessary.
One thing I did notice: His hands kneaded into her hair, and she rolled him onto his back, positioning himself on top of her -- I think you meant 'positioning herself on top of him'.
I saw on the DG forum that you're looking for a beta for this. I've been a bit wary about offering because I already beta for a few people and can get super busy at times. That said, if no one has got back to you about it I can probably beta the rest. Let me know.
Author's Response: Thanks again for the review! I'm glad you liked the scenes, and I'm especially happy that no one seems too bothered that I omitted those few scenes because my heart really wasn't in them. If I wrote them, I was afraid that they would drag, and honestly I don't think that full descriptions would have added anything else to the story. And, I did mean 'herself.' I fixed it, so thank you for pointing that out! I am about halfway through here, so I would absolutely LOVE for you to beta the rest. I have one person who is helping me sort out plot concerns, but I really would like one more for spelling and grammar. Do you have an email address that I can contact you at? I haven't finished the next chapter yet, but when I do, I'll send it to you straight off. :)
Nooooo! This can't be all so far!! I need more!! Hehe :) you've got me hooked. Can't wait til you update.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you're hooked. :)
I wanna try a leap of faith off this cliff. ;)
Great chapter, yet again. I'm surprised at how you're working Harry/Astoria though. Looking forward to that almost as much as the D/G content.
Author's Response: You told me once that my cliffs don't have rocks, so if you leap, you may still survive to read the rest of the story! And I'm glad you're interested in both plots; there's nothing worse than reading a story that you want to rip you hair out during half of! Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer! :)
I wonder how everyone's going to react. But since this is a Draco/Ginny story, things will turn out okay.
Oh, and I love The Beatles reference and the story title. Serendipity is one of my favorite movies (I'm a big John Cusack fan. Kate Beckinsale being in it's just a nice bonus.)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! And I love Serendipity, too. :)
scorpius is right. they need to tell them. this was such a bad/amusing idea. haha.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!
AGH! SPAZ. I can't wait to see what happens! Awesome writing. :D
Author's Response: Thanks for the great compliment and review! :)
Whoa, didn't see that one coming. Astoria had no qualms about sleeping with her pretend husband? I actually think the two women wouldn't mind a permanent husband swap.
When I read Astoria's section I can hear her voice. It just sounds like her, so again you've got her character nailed. The others, I feel could be a little more distinctive. Especially Draco. Tickling doesn't seem his style :p.
I really liked these scenes, and didn't mind you skipping the lunch/quidditch. As the writer, you pick which scenes you want to write about. It'd come out forced if you wrote about scenes other people wanted you to write about but you didn't have your heart into it.
Not sure Scorpius would refer to himself as a kid - even though we think of them as kids, kids rarely think/refer to themselves that way, especially if they're teenagers.
Curious to see what Ginny will do - if I were her I'd probably try to get Scorpius to see reason, (not wanting to break up the marriage, and maybe this would help bring the two together) maybe bring in Astoria. But I could see her telling Draco, though there's going to be some angry husbands.
Especially, especially because Astoria had sex with Harry. Let's just hope it doesn't have the Lancelot-Elaine ending.
Better than the last chapter for sure (the plot holes did make me unhappy).
Author's Response: Thanks again for the review! I'm glad you like Astoria's character, and I appreciate the comments about picking which scenes to write, because I really think that writing those would have come out forced, like you said. I don't want to comment on the other things you said, though, because I don't want to give anything away.
