I'm so glad to be able to get back to reading this fic!! :) I know what you mean about making too commitments, believe me... sometimes I still think I was crazy for trying to go back to school while co-running a business... but I pledge to keep up with your fics. :) And my own writing. And-- okay, there's a long list.
I love, love this chapter! So many great aspects of it, from the realism of the trial to the subtle exploration of the broken places in both Draco and Ginny to their tentatively growing relationship to Luna... I love the way that your portray this true, genuine affection between Draco and Luna that feels very pure, that by its nature, is not romantic, is not about attraction, but is so meaningful.
Anyway... I'm going to keep up with these chapters, even though I'm kind of behind...and I'll get to your other fic too. :)

Do you know how happy this story is making me??! It's the most adorable thing I've read in so long, I was smiling the whole way through it last night (obviously minus the whole attack and blackmail bit.)
But seriously, I like how we are seeing a Draco who ran away from his life in England, who self harmed to try and get away from the DM and who drank himself into oblivion - but who is also trying so hard to turn his life around and make people see that he is worth more than being treated like the lowest form of society.
I'm really enjoying how you write and I find Draco and ginny so endearing together, she's desperate to show that she is strong and independent and he's desperate not to hurt her. I mean who's heart didn't break when he said "I don’t deserve someone as wonderful as you in my life.” Bah, pass me a tissue!! Between that, saving her and breaking up the naan for her- I'm in reader heaven!
My only issue is with your description, it really doesn't do your story justice! I put off reading the story because it didn't pull me in enough. Boy do I love it now!! Good luck with the next chapter! Xx
Author's Response: Aw, that's awesome to hear! I'm really glad you're enjoying it so much. Reader heaven is pretty high praise! :D And you were right about the description: I've been ignoring it for a while because it annoyed me... I fixed it up though, so hopefully it's more interesting? Does it pass?

Oh my goodness. This is marvellous. And Luna and her art —— that was very moving. Draco again is excellent, and I worry so much for Ginny. But again, I was impressed by her testimony. George, though, ... heartbreaking. This is really wonderful; I am looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you for all your kind words! It makes me really happy to hear that you're enjoying this so much. Makes the whole process worth it, actually, and keeps me going. I am also really happy to hear that you're on the flip side of your depression, and that you've found something to keep you moving forward. I found paranormal romance novels helped me too, just saying. ;p

Love! LOVE!! And just the right amount of D/G interaction for this point in time, I think. There are so many great things about your writing, but I think I would have to give the gold medal to characterizations... everyone, from Draco, Ginny, and Luna, to the more background characters like George, is complex and fascinating. And I love the idea of Luna painting souls. :)
And oh God, you're going to make me go to ffnet. :P:P:P:P and :P. But JUST for you, and to read the prequel-ette... i will. :)I hope you do eventually post it here, though. (mutters unpleasant things about ffnet.)
Author's Response: I'm sorry!! But there's no mention of Ginny in it, so I didn't feel right posting it here (and I don't actually want to attach it to this story because it's superfluous...) Hopefully the experience wasn't too traumatic? :S But thank you for the gold medal. :D

I loved this chapter! So much happening, I love Ginny and George's relationship. George sees all!! haha. I love the way you've included some great friendships throughout the story. It adds such a depth to all the characters.
And Draco bringing Ginny Indian food was so sweet, I love how their relationship is developing.
I cannot wait for more.
xx
Author's Response: Yay! Omnipotent George! lol! I'm really glad that you're enjoying it. Hopefully the next chapter will be out soon. :D

One of my favourite fics. I have checked everyday for an update from you. :)
Please update soonx
Author's Response: Gah! It makes me happy that you love it so much, but it also upsets me that you're getting disappointed all the time when there's not a new chapter! :S I'm trying to update as quickly as I can. Care to do my readings for me to help make me some time?

Great chapter! I can't wait to read how Draco & Luna became friends. But, I do believe that Luna would have reached out to Draco after the war because she did see some goodness in him. I do also believe that he did help with food and water and some form of comfort when she and the others were inprisioned at the manor. Just a typo note: witness has been noted as whiteness twice during the courtroom section. Can't wait to read the next chapter. Thank you writing and continuing this fic.
Author's Response: Thanks! :D And I'm glad I'm not the only one. Though I honestly have a hard time seeing Draco giving them food, just because of how scared he would have been; I think he would have regretted not doing it however. But I don't know. I hope that he would. I obviously don't have as much faith in him as you do. ;p Oh, and all attempts at white-washing the witnesses has been corrected, thank you.
