I'm greatly enjoy the story and the premise and still I can only come to one set of conclusions. Both Ginny and Astoria are the type of people who would lie, decieve and cheat on their spouses in a particularly evil way at the risk of destroying their families. Now given Draco's Death Eater tendencies I can see how he might find that appealing but theres no way Harry, having morals and ethics, isn't going to hate them both as well as the whole of the Weasley family.
No matter how you slice it those are two cruel women.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review :) WhileI do agree that Astoria and Ginny have been pretty cold, there are a few things to consider. First of all, although to the outsider it does not appear as such, none of these people are truly happy to be married. There were hints from the very first scene that some characters harbored feelings for others, also. Secondly, it's not quite that simple. I promise you that it won't end up with everyone happily spouse swapping while gnoring the rest of their families. It just isn't realistic. Although it seems like this story is coming very close to being over, and an ending definitely is in sight, there are still a lot of unresolved issues here. I promise nothing will be left hanging! Everything hint, every minor clue that I've given, will be addressed, and hopefully my ending will satisfy everyone. :) Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! I love so much how the readers of this story are really getting into it. It's amazing to see that. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!
Noooo, not another cliffy!!!!! I love the story a lot, it's funny and while I would expect it to be a bit odd, somehow you manage to make it work. I just love how you have Scorp came back and make Ginny to realize something she didn't.
And sleeping withi Draco, man, I don't have a good vibe for next chapter...especially if she turns back into Ginny!
Can't wait
Author's Response: My next chapter has been sent out to my beta, so hopefully it won't be too much longer! I'm not going to say anything else because I don't want to give anything away, but I'm glad you like the story! Thanks for reviewing :)
Annnnd, this is going to end in disaster.
Author's Response: Hm. Did you expect differently? :)
That is great so far cant wait for more
Author's Response: Thanks so much! :)
She easily could have just kept the polyjuice potion and just not use it! I can't wait to read more! :)
Author's Response: You are my 100th review! :) Thanks soo much for reading and reviewing!
so dead. so so so so dead.
Author's Response: :) thanks for reading!
This left me hanging so much! Argh! I was desperate to see Draco's reaction if he found out but I guess I have to wait again. Hope to see more of Astoria's side next time anyway. Please update soon!!! Thank you! :)
Author's Response: You'll find out, all in due time. Thanks for reviewing! :)
Hello, Ginny, are you a witch or not? Silencio him!
It might not hurt to have all the kids find out before Harry and Draco do; their acceptance makes their parents' deeds less damaging.
Author's Response: The problem with that is that the kids are all at Hogwarts. Thanks for the review :)
*screams*
Your cliffs are so evil now! Not sure if this is a good thing (change of writing style some would view as an improvement) or a bad thing (your update rate has gone down and now I gotta wait.) BAH! So good, and so close yet so far.
STT >:
Author's Response: I'm sorry my updates have been slower. :( My beta was a bit busy this last week or else I'd have been able to send it in sooner, but I need her for this! hah. Don't worry, though. I will finish it soon enough! Thanks for the review! :)
Draco had a crush on her at Hogwarts, didn't he?
I adore Scorpius.
I can't wait to read more. I hope that this doesn't all blow up in Ginny and Astoria's faces, even though they have been underhanded.
Author's Response: We'll find out about the picture very soon, I promise! I'm glad you like Scorpius :). Thanks for the review!
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!
Scorpius is such a perceptive little thing, isn't he? I really like the contrasting families in this fic - and how each woman reacts and tries to get by. I'm still amazed that Harry and Draco do not seem to notice! It doesn't say much for their marriages, does it?
Author's Response: I'm glad you picked up on that! I don't want D/A and H/G to HATE each other, but I don't want them to have picture perfect marriages, otherwise this story would never happen! Thanks for the compliments, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the fic :)
Oh this story is kind of addictive, actually!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm going to be submitting the next chapter very soon. :)
I really enjoy this story please please update soon
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I do try to update regularly, so the next chapter should be submitted in the very near future :)
Can't remember if I reviewed this chappy... You may wish I hadn't because I feel like this was just filler. Disappointing. :(
Author's Response: You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but it wasn't really filler. There were important things in this chapter that are going to come into play later, so I am sorry that you feel this way.
I do like this chapter. I feel like we (and the characters themselves) are finally beginning to understand that this isn't just some game; this is going to have huge consequences for both of their families.
I've always found it interesting that you chose to use Scorpius as the 'wisdom giver', if you will. Normally that role is given to an adult, but in this case it is one of the children who has been trying to advise Draco and Ginny. I liked that you brought in the fact that this is a difficult situation for him.
I'm very curious to see where things will go from here.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! :)
I really want to know why Draco has a picture of Ginny from school. Can't wait for the next part!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're interested! Thanks for the reviewww :)
At least they've admitted they are being absolutely monsterous to their husbands and families.
Author's Response: Well, it isn't that they aren't decent human beings. It was really just something silly that turned into something big! Thanks for reading and reviewing :)
update soon!
Author's Response: It shouldn't be too terribly long. It never is with me. =P Thanks for reading!
I've already left a review on FFN, but I like this story so much that I'll leave one here, too ;)
Loving everything so far, and am eagerly awaiting (nervously) the explosion that is sure to happen when the truth comes out.
Squeeee! Love.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you like it! I hope the rest of the story doesn't disappoint! :)
This chapter left me hanging again! lol. I'm excited on when they will reveal their true identities though I think that will still be far. :p
Author's Response: The fic is about halfway through, but I'm not telling when or how it will happen! Thanks for the reviews! :)
Really good story so far! I can't wait to read what happens in the end!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! :)
Ginny chuckled despite herself. “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m still married; I can’t be with your father. There’s just no way! Besides, I’ve got three children of my own with Harry. Your mother and I can’t just swap husbands, and I don’t even know how your mother feels about Harry – not that switching husbands would be an option if she did have feelings for him… Oh, dear.” She stopped, collapsing the bed. “We’ve really made a mess of this, haven’t we?”
This was my favorite part. ^^ All of those excuses, Ginny. Tsk tsk tsk. You're just in one big mess! XD
Scorpius is just my favorite. He knows everything! I really can't wait to see if he has more parts here. Astoria and Ginny are really good friends to try and comfort each other with lies, but I know sooner or later the truth will come out. ;)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, dahling. :) I'm so so glad you're enjoying it!
Eagerly awaiting your next updates! :) One suggestion I do have is to flesh out Astoria's reaction a bit more. Because she seems to have a good friendship with Ginny, her reactions to me seemed a bit too blasé for someone who had just slept with their friend's husband.
Author's Response: Thanks for your suggestion. :) There will be more on Astoria's reactions/thoughts in the upcoming chapters, so do not fear! Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)
