Please! More! Love the Ron/Draco friendship! Love the handsy, drunken Draco! He obviously secretly likes her, and she's starting to care about him! More! More! Please!

Author's Response: I absolutely *loved* writing him while he was tipsy. He was sooooo easy. LOL And, yes, he does have a little crush on her, but he soooo doesn't want to admit it. More coming soon, and *thank you* for letting me know you enjoyed. :)
Best wishes!

omg this premise was a plot bunny that had been hopping around in my head and you've written it perfectly. I'm so looking forward to seeing where you go with it.

/He crossed his arms and glared at her. “I'm free to see whoever I please.”/ -pwahaha, loved it!

Author's Response: LOL! awesome! I'm not surprised that someone else might have considered a similar take on this. I seemed to be seeing so many "G & D start out as friends" stories, that I was getting sick of the plot line. There was so little variety there, especially if they included Ron, that I couldn't resist twisting it around a bit. Glad you like it! :) And, btw, you are the second person to pick out that same quote from Ron - I think Ron was channeling his inner Malfoy. :D Thanks again.

Ah, this is just brilliant! I do love it when a convincing Draco-Ron friendship is presented. Too often Ron is made a horribly villain, so I'm really glad that you're changing his personality around for the better. Who would have thought that they'd be such a great influence on one another?

Is it weird that I'm more excited for the bromance than the DG romance?

Author's Response: Thank you! I think Ron is one of the least developed characters in canon, and his role in fanfic tends to be a little flat as a result. I like exploring the brother-sister relationship and I enjoy twisting the typical plot lines around. :) And, yes, I'm kind of enjoying the bromance too - I think you'll love chap 3. Thank you again!
Best Wishes

i loved that line:“I'm free to see whoever I please.” :)) go Ron!

Author's Response: LOL - a little snitty for Ron. I think his best mate was a bad influence on him. :D Thanks! :)

She's back! Back, I tell you! And she's posting again! YAY!!!

(runs around maniacally, kind of like a Zumba class gone horribly wrong)

What an unusual take on Weasley family-Draco relations! This isn't something I've seen very often, and I'm really intrigued. This certainly is what Ron's mental state might have been at the time. I can see how the situation could have arisen. Still, ARE the Weasleys actually all under some kind of Confounding spell? The reader has to wonder... ;) More soon, I hope. And I've kind of had that happen at some points in the past... longer and more complex stories, and... NO!!!

(beats back rabid plot bunny with a plastic butter knife.)

So be careful. You don't want that to happen to you. ;)

Author's Response: rotfl. I adore the rabid plot bunny. I promise that thou shalt not be left in suspense for very long. This little fic has been in my "nearly completed" pile for some time and started beating on me, demanding that it be allowed to roam free. Believe it or not, the biggest hurdle was coming up with a proper title. Ron, who always seemed a bit two-dimensional to me in canon has a bit of potential, given the proper motivation. So, I'd been reading too many stories where Ginny was the one to become "best friends" with our darling Draco, and thought that it might be fun to twist it around a bit (I'm weird like that) . And thank you so much for the feedback!
Hugs!

Love! I love the one-sided frustration and just how cavalier Ron is about the friendship. Is it wrong for me that I can easily believe Harry and Hermione ignoring Ron while they're off pursuing their career.

Author's Response: From reading the books, I truly did see Hermione going off on her own quite easily, especially if she gets to be in the company of other intellectual types. It really wasn't hard to envision. Harry too, he'll be so absorbed with wanting to succeed at being an Auror that he'll be fully focused on that for a bit. Ron needs a friend who needs him. I always thought of him as the heart of the group. I also always thought that his relationship with Ginny and the rest of his family was really ignored in canon, so it's fun to build some interaction between Ginny and Ron, and loosen him up a bit. :)
