I'm not going to lie...when Draco first appeared and said THAT... (I'm not going to repeat it because you already know what I'm referring to Ms I-Wrote-It-And-Made-The-Arsehole-Say-That-To-Get-A-Reaction-Out-Of-Both-Ginny-and-THIS-READER)... I nearly threw my laptop across the room. I'm not joking. I was essentially Ron Swanson there for a moment.

Now, this would have been bad for me financially speaking. It also wouldn't be great due to the fact that I wouldn't have read far enough to see him take it back like the little jerk he is.

Am I happy they are finally showing a smidge of emotional honesty and maturity to each other? Yes. Am I loving that she is still a hormonal and overthinking hot mess and he is a manipulative snarky bitch while doing it? God yes. Am I loving that they are hot bitch messes while simultaneously beginning to be vulnerable enough to vocalise their protectiveness of each other and recognise when the other one needs a small silent gesture of comfort? Fuck yes!

So overall, I am incredibly relieved to not have flung my laptop at the wall as if it was overcooked pasta. I loved it (even when I hated it). The only consideration I ask for going forth is that you keep in mind my fragility and impulsivity when writing the next one. We've already established I might not make it if you don't update this story. But now we know - my laptop might not make it if you do.

Author's Response: I suppose we had an update here. From one of the most sweet and amazing commentaries I've ever received (your 'hot mess of a review') to THE MOST SPETACULAR ONE EVEEER. Hahaha, I laughed so much when I read this, literally chortled. I would never hurt Blaise, he's the owner of my heart. But I do enjoy getting reactions out of Ginny - and you. Don't be mad at me, please, it's part of the fun of writting. And I'm pretty sure if Ginny had a laptop (or anything heavy for that matter) in that moment, she would have thrown it at Draco's head. You're not alone, my dear. Now you've put me in a sticky situation. How to preserve your laptop AND your well-being at the same time? It will be a big challenge for the next chapters. The economic situation in the world is not the best and I don't wish to be responsible for financial losses, so I'll do my best to safeguard your property while updating this story. And I promise Ginny will still be an overthinking hot mess and Draco a manipulative snarky bitch. It couldn't be different, right? We have to be true to the characters! Sorry for the delay in updating! The next installment is almost done though. Hope you keep enjoying it. Really, thank you. You're very kind - and specialljy funny. See ya very soon, my dear!

Holy mother of god I felt so many feelings reading this chapter! Thank you!

Author's Response: hahahaha, quite a roller coaster, huh. Hope you could feel some GOOD feelings while reading this one. The next installment will be out soon. Thank you for your comments, my dear. See ya soon.
