twenty-something who indulges in Draco/Ginny fan-fiction while juggling a full time job and a full time school schedule. I love red wine and cooking good food...especially Italian. I love reading the stories posted on this site and I hope to one day write one of my own.

Good for Draco setting down some ground rules! I think this is the first time I've read a story on this site that used the Pensive, good touch. I think it is very important for Draco to know more about their relationship especislly since she chose to never disclose it prior. I hope Gin is feeling guilty! Can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response: Snaps for Draco! :D And yeah, I\'m thinking that Ginny\'s feeling pretty guilty at this point. The wheels of my mind are turning...

I don't think this chapter was boring in the least. I always enjoy good dialogue, especially when it deals with the history of your characters.

Author's Response: Thanks :) I\'m glad it wasn\'t totally boring.

Oh a nice trip to the past with a good cliff hanger! I can't wait to learn more about them pre-hook up.

Author's Response: Yeah, I got sick of writing present-tense stuff, so I went back for a while :)

I love the atmosphere you chose, I could almost see Gin and Blaise tearing up the dance floor. Your writing and attention to detail really help bring out a great visual in my mind, thank you.

Author's Response: Thanks! The dance scene was such a pain to write, so I\'m glad someone noticed it. Seriously, I probably sat there for a total of 45 minutes just trying to figure out how to make it work; I wanted to just put a page break in so badly!

I think it is important to understand where our characters have come from because it makes them who we are today. Wow you just graduated? Congratulations! I too felt my transition into adulthood was more somber than celebratory...although mine was ten years ago almost to the day! Let me tell you, time indeed flies. I enjoyed your take on the graduation ceremony for Hogwart's class of 1999 - but I thought Luna was Harry's age...I guess I'm just getting old and forgetting things already. LOL. I enjoyed reading the chapter, hope you update soon.

Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, I\'m feeling very somber about the transition part, but my graduation ceremony was completely bonkers; anything BUT somber :D Yeah, this year flew by SO fast, I could hardly believe it. You might be right about Luna... not that I think about it, I just can\'t remember for sure.

Ginny Weasley finds out that the dark side is much like dying. You only really know what it’s like after you’ve crossed over.

I loved watching QL back in the day! I think you've done a great job of making the dialogue a lot like what I remember from the show, great banter between Sam and Al.

Oh you need to add more to this story, it is so freaking awesome! I can't wait to see how Sam reacts to the fact that he is now in the wizarding world!

Nineteen Years Later... the Truth by Anise    (Reviews - 893)

What really happened in the DH Epilogue of Doom. Poor, poor Harry, so very clueless...

Chapter SIXTY-NINE quote of the day:

Ginny scowled at him. “You don’t know me very well.”

Draco shook his head, his eyes more sorrowful than ever. “No. I don’t. Eternity wouldn’t be long enough for that.”

“Why do I feel as if we’ve suddenly wandered into the set of a men’s cologne commercial?” complained Lucifer.

“Can’t you keep your damn mouth shut, Lucifer?” spat Draco.

“Please… really… I don’t think you should talk to him that way,” whispered Ginny.

Still as always thoroughly confused...not sure what is going to happen next or what just happened for that matter. I am sure though you have this all planned and things will make sense soon.

I absolutely loved this story...and the great thing it is only the begining. After being introduced to the D/G relationship world, I can't see them with anyone else. I was so sad when I read the "19 years later" in the DH but this has put a huge smile on my face. Can't wait for the rest of this story.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who always felt Harry needed to be portrayed as a power hungry quasi-Voldermort jerk. I must admit that I'm still not too sure where this story is going but I can't wait to find out.

She was dreaming all of this right? Did I miss something? Was she magically whisked away to where Harry & Kreacher were? OMG I am really confused but that just means I have to read the chapter over which isn't a bad thing at all.

I love Draco and I love Draco and Ginny together but I have to admit, I am not a fan of Draco being perceived as this overly sensitive kind of guy. Otherwise I enjoyed the read...love your work and can't wait to see how this ends.

Author's Response: Ohhh, trust me, you don\'t have to worry about Draco being an overly sensitive guy in this fic. Mwah ha ha!

I will never cease to be amazed by how such talented writers (you are on this list) are able to take something such as our beloved Harry Potter series and still find new avenues to write about and make the story into your own. I love the whole male ritual thing where they are given lessons on *ahem* you know. I wish that was true in the real world.

Interesting...just when I thought I had a handle on everything. Oh and I recommend that Gin and Draco watch Zoolander, very good muggle comedy.

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! You are going to leave us at the edges of our seats again!?!?!?!?! Thank you for the thank you, it is my pleasure to give you my two cents (sometimes a little more) with your stories. You truly deserve some accolades now with this beautiful manipulation of that awful epilogue. Bwuahahahahaha!

I never thought I would find a story where I was indeed not happy with Draco! Wow so he's been plotting this for 19 years! I hope Ginny takes him off that spell and gets some explanations soon! I hope she'll be able to handle them. Oh and that wrench you threw in with the whole Scorpius is really in his twenties thing is like woah. I better see an update in the next couple hours or I'll explode with anticipation!!!

Oh you can't leave us hanging like this! I never saw this one coming, he's a demon too? The web you weave is intricate and quite uncanny! I don't know what to expect anymore, including the unexpected! I just hope this has a happy ending, but I am enjoying the ride.

The funny thing is, I can totally see Molly acting like this ALL THE TIME. I am not a fan of the Weasly matriarch and never have been. I think she suffocating and a bully. You've been portraying her accurately in my eyes through out this story but alas Gin said it best, she got so worked up by her Mom it made her get up! I hope Draco is ok...you're bringing him back right? Look forward to the next chapter as usual.
