Love! Love ! Love it! A quality DxG story in a while. Keep it up and keep writing. :)
I loved the story and the characterisation. It's perfect and don't worry about the length. We love long chapters

Author's Response: You maybe shouldn't have told me that... I do like to ramble... lol! But thank you! :D

What an awesome chapter! I feel like every chapter is better than the previous one... if it's even possible. I love the way the relationship between Draco and Ginny starts to progress and change. And the stories from their past... Ginny's miscarriage and Draco's cutting himself... those were heartbreaking.
I also like how humble Draco is and how he thinks that he does't deserve Ginny and how much out of his league she is. This is a very refreshing point of view and I like it way better than a Draco who thinks that the world revolves around him.
Words cannot describe how much I'm looking forward the next chapter. You're quickly becoming one of my favourite D/G fan fiction writer. :-)

Author's Response: I hope I can keep that going, it's kind of a long story... ;) But thank you. It makes me really happy to hear that you are enjoying it so much!

Another great chapter! I had a feeling who was behind it, he never lies quiet. Draco's and Ginny's backstory are fitting and sad, but it makes a lot of sense. I do love the true friendship that Luna and Draco share especially after her being inprisioned in the manor. I'm glad you explored that. Looking forward to the next chapter and other stories. You write so amazingly! Thanks :).

Author's Response: No, thank you! :D I'm really glad that you're enjoying it so much. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for more. :D

What a great great grrreat chapter!! There's so much to appreciate and love in this chapter, starting with Draco's cowardice. His fear when he goes after Ginny feels so spot on. Honestly, I think anyone would feel, physically, exactly the same way he does. He's in the dark, underground, walking into danger - it's natural for him to be afraid, for his body to shake, for him to be close to tears. But he also wishes he could just go home, wishes he didn't care so much about Ginny and Luna. If he didn't care, he wouldn't be in that situation, and the fact that he IS in that situation means he has grown.

Seeing Lucius when Draco looks at Flint Polyjuiced as himself is such a great scene, too. I loved his awareness that he can't escape his past no matter how good he is simply because he looks like a man who supported evil. I'm just loving this Draco so much. He's everything I think Draco should be.

And could Draco be LESS convincing when he's giving Harry all these reasons he paid the ransom even though he and Ginny have nOoOooOOoo relationship besides that of patient/Healer? XD If I was Harry, I would have thought Draco doth protest too much.

Ginny and Draco's secret backstories are so sad, and I continue to love the relationship Draco has with Luna. There's clearly a lot of love between them, even if it's platonic, and it looks like Draco is in desperate need of her support and friendship. Where would he be if he hadn't had her when he came back to England? Though we have no idea how they became friends, this chapter makes it clear that he would be in a much darker place. Or, at the very least, his recovery and the slog through daily life afterwards would have been more difficult.

I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter. Thank you so much for sharing!

Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much! I was actually a little nervous posting this one because it's taking away all that mysteriousness everyone seemed to like from before. I feel like this is the Draco that would emerge from the events after the series, but I know he's not what everyone expects. Reading this right after it was posted was quite a relief. :D I'm really glad you liked it so much! Also, thank you for the heads up on all my typos... :S I know I've said it before, but you really are fantastic!

Oh my gosh I'm so glad there is another chapter to go on to! I did not see that coming at all! I'm so glad you are back. I'm going to check my dev art too. You rock!

Author's Response: Thanks! :D And it's great to be back.! :D

Ohhh, I'm so glad Draco's feelings for Ginny are true! The poor guy. This is exactly the kind of Draco I love. He works so hard to make up for what he did during the war, but he still carries some self-loathing, still believes he deserves to face different consequences. And he doesn't believe he's good enough for Ginny ever. I am a huge fan.

I forgot to say in my review for the previous chapter that I LOVE that Draco and Luna are bffs! I adore interesting pairings/friendships that shake up the usual relationships we see in fan fiction, and the fact that Luna is friends with both Draco and Ginny but they're not friends with each other is a fabulous dynamic.

Can't wait to see what happens next!!

Author's Response: I'm quite fond of this type of Draco too, and he's fun to write. :) I saw a little head canon for the Draco/Luna friendship on Pintrest, and it just sort of stuck with me. Thanks for reading! :D

Omg??? I'm so glad there's a second chapter already posted because I HAVE to know what's going on. I can't remember the last time I read a story where Draco is a Healer, so it feels like a brand new concept just because I haven't read it much. I love the idea, and I was getting the vibe that Draco DID like Ginny even before the doppelganger admitted it to her. But now I'm not quite sure.... Who is this second Draco Malfoy?? Is he after Ginny in a malevolent way? I gotsta know!

What a great start to your story and I can't wait to read the next chapter!

Oh my goodness!!! The suspense is killing me!!! I like how this is not the normal mushy type story I love to read. God I can feel all emotions right now: worry, anger, excitement, giddiness and everything in between for this chapter!

I sincerely hope Draco would be fine and he would be able to save Ginny asap!!!

Looking forward to read the rest of this beautiful story! Keep on writing! Love love love!

Author's Response: :D Thank you! And don't worry, there will be mush. I don't think I am capable of writing anything without a bit of mushiness tucked in it. ;p

This is moving along much faster than I expected! I'm excited to see what happens next! Really great and intriguing story. I'd like to see a little bit more background on his and Luna's relationship, although I'm sure that would be difficult to work in. It's just a little hard to fathom them being so close, but given where the story begins there's a lot of backstory we don't know. Can't wait to read more!!!

Author's Response: Thanks! :D I actually have a "prologue" with Draco and Luna's first meeting, which I will be posting on my ffnet account in a few chapters to kind of fill in the gaps. I have one for Narcissa too, though I don't think I'll be posting that one. There's going to be a lot more explained as the story moves along though, so hopefully it will all seem more plausible by the end. 😁

Great chapter! Can't wait to read what happens next. Thanks for continuing the story.

Author's Response: Thanks! It's actually mostly done, so barring disaster the whole thing should get posted over the next few months. :D

I'm really loving this so far!
I love the casual low-key flirting of Ginny and the first Draco, and her stubbornness is so on point. You've really captured the not-quite-friends-but -regular-enough-acquaintances-and-mutual-friends-it's-not-that-awkward level of relationship.

And I was not expecting that twist at the end! So intriguing. Was he just a hallucination? A Malfoy impersonator? A duplicate/clone?

Can't wait to read more.

LOVE! Love, love, love.
The longer version is: so many things about this to like. You actually wrote a Hermione that isn't annoying. To me, anyway, that's amazing. ;) I love this version of Ginny's life, and it feels quite honestly so much more believable than what we got in the Epilogue of Doom and Destruction. In the actual universe as it was established in the books (and by the laws of basic reality), it's so much more likely that Ginny would have married Harry, but the marriage wouldn't have worked out in the long run. The injury was an interesting plot device, and it's very believable too. And THEN... what you've done with the characters!

It was impossible to know exactly what to think when Draco originally showed up on Ginny's doorstep, largely because you'd already laid the foundation for a different Draco than most readers expect. His character is very believable (doing so well with potions could logically lead to being a Healer.) But the sudden about-face of his attitude towards Ginny... there did seem to be something off.

And of course, there did turn out to be. But why? And exactly what happened to Ginny at the end of this chapter? This narrative is really intriguing in its own right, not just as a fanfic-- and that's what makes it work so well. REALLY looking forward to more! :)

Author's Response: Aw, thanks! Coming from you this all means a lot. :D As I've gotten older, I've really come to respect and love Hermione, so I couldn't write her any other way. And I completely agree with you on the H/G relationship in the epilogue--it's actually one of the things that bothered me the most (and still would have even if I wasn't a rabid D/Ger...). Relationships just don't run on wishes. As for the healer role, a large part of medicine is retaining knowledge and knowing when to apply it, and given that he was right behind Hermione in marks I'm thinking he could do very well as a Healer. Hopefully I'll manage to do that idea justice as the story continues. ;D Thanks again!

I thought this was going in a completely different direction, until the last section! I really enjoyed the twist at the end. I was lulled into thinking it was one kind of story and now it looks like it will be another. I'm excited to see what happens next! Bravo, and welcome back!

Author's Response: Thank you! :D I'm not going to lie though, it definitely started as that sort of story, then I got devious... ;p

That was a great first chapter. I love Draco, romance, mystery and well-written dialogues. And your story has it all. I cannot wait to read the next chapter!

This was a great first chapter. Your Ginny is showing some attitude, which I like a lot, and of course your "mysterious" Draco already has my heart. What else can I ask?
Oh, yes, please keep on writing *_*
Hugs!
