I have read this few times since you last posted and I hope you will continue the story. I am quite looking forward to learning more about Draco's thoughts and intentions.

Yay, I loved this chapter!! It's so fascinating to see how this story is unfolding. Ginny is so wonderfully imperfect-- she's not going to give Draco the benefit of the doubt at all, but then, it's impossible not to ask... should she? In her place, anyone would have to be suspicious at some level of what his motives really are. Has he changed, or is he somehow trying to manipulate her? Even as she's being annoying, it's more than understandable why she's doing it. The plot trope of a magical object/spell/idea/etc forcing Draco and Ginny to be together in some way is a lot of fun, but there's obviously much more here. The parallel underworld adds a completely different level, and it's both attractive and sinister. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Ah thank you! I tried to keep it realistic as possible personality-wise and Ginny's stubbornness has been so fun!

Even though Ch 4 is up, I'm going to review up to this point first... the fic continues to be amazing! ;) So many intriguing questions; so few answers. I'm very interested in the issue of who knows what. Does Narcissa know what's going on? I actually tend to think not. Does Draco SUSPECT something about those flowers and their connection to his father, even if he doesn't know anything specific? That seems a lot more possible. I do think that there has to be some kind of connection between the flowers and Lucius. So much to still be revealed, and on to Ch 4! :)
Author's Response: Oh man I'm so glad you wrote this down before chapter four haha I can't wait to hear what you think!

So even though Chapter 2 is up, I'm going to review the first two chapters now. This looks like it's going to be a GREAT fic. The conflict is immediately set up, and the questions are fascinating-- what's actually going on? Why can't Ginny leave? Does Draco actually not know anything about this? What about Lucius? The fact that the flowers were originally given to Narcissa by Lucius really makes me wonder if he's behind all of this in some way. He tried to use Ginny to get power once, so what's to stop him for trying again? So many mysteries! BTW... this is literally the first review of any length I've left for a D/G fic in years if you don't count exchange fics. So hopefully this is the beginning of a trend, because I really want to get back into this world again. ;)
Author's Response: I don't even know what to say, I'm so speechless at your review! Like honoured and also laughing devilishly at your theorising and then completely honoured that you're into my story! Thank you so much!

Molly...
I can understand yet I would say that was a bit stretched? I mean she could visit at first and then see for herself if Ginny is alright or not.
Ron is actually their mom's male version XD
Great chapter though

Wowowow. I always find leaving my thoughts on a first chapter a little difficult because the story is just beginning and there's so much more to learn and discover as the rest of the story unfolds. But you've set the stage so nicely. And you did something else that I think is pretty difficult to do: you explained Narcissa and Draco's return to society in such a way that it's believable why other people would accept them--and yet Ginny doesn't.
//Nobody wanted to be thought of as someone who disagreed with Harry Potter...//
Yes. That's it exactly. This and the two paragraphs above it. In my personal head canon, that's how it would work. Harry, with his black/white way of thinking and the sympathy he would feel for Narcissa and Draco, would insist on sticking up for them, and no one would want to disagree with Harry, savior of the wizarding world. But Ginny isn't sold on their sob story. I could see her going either way, buying into it and accepting them or not. But her skepticism feels very true in this chapter. And I feel like maybe there's a bit of stubbornness included with her mistrust of the Malfoys, too? The more people tell her they're great, the more she argues with her family about them, the more she digs her heels in and can't believe the Malfoys are sincere? Maybe a little??
Anyway, I'm rambling. D: It's a very intriguing beginning, and of course a nice little cliffhanger to keep people wanting more! I'm interested to see what the deal with the flowers is (I'm getting a Beauty and the Beast vibe :O) and what happened to Ginny after she touched them. And does Arthur know something about them??
Author's Response: Oh my goodness thank you so much! I didn’t want to spend too much time worldbuilding so I’m so glad to hear I achieved my goal with brevity hahaha I can’t wait for you to see chapter two! I hope you love it!
