I love love this fic! It's such a treat to see it here again. It's hard to even pick out what I like the most... the Scottish fold kitten... Padma being such a good friend... okay, the D/G relationship. There's such a delicacy, such a subtlety. We don't always need to have Draco and Ginny screaming and throwing things at each other the first time they meet again after a few years; it's not always realistic to the story, either. They're starting to regain a closeness they had before, to cautiously test those old feelings and to hope that they could go further. Favorite line:

As long as he didn’t expect her to be who she once was. That Ginny was dead and gone.

That one line just says it all... she's convinced that she can't ever again have the joy she lost; he's determined to bring it back to her, or to help her find it in a new way.

LOVE, and more SOON.

Author's Response: It thrills me that you love this! If you are the only person happy with this, then I consider it a win, as I wrote it for you! I didn't want to beat everyone in the head with D/G's relationship. I wanted to try something I don't see a lot of. We have tragedy, yes, but we don't borrow from real life tragedy. When people change, they really aren't sure if that change will also seep into old friendships. So I wanted to explore that as well. The second chapter is easier to edit and will be ready to post soon! I promise!
