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.

Funny, I was just wondering when I was going to run across a story such as this. I like how you ended it, short and sweet with real expectations.

Ha! I loved it not only because it was a great story but also because Draco works in the same department I do...but I'm sure his AP is much more fun than mine.

I love how shaped them in this story...I can visualize them perfectly as the events transpire. I like how both of them are not very innocent at all and realize the power of their charms (perhaps Gin more so than Draco).

I like it, straight to the point! I know JKR wanted this story book ending for Mr. Potter but I like my Ginny Potter-free thank you. Can't wait to see how Draco reacts to his child.

I like how you built this up...Draco seems kind of a coward being all fake and plastic with this whole reunion. I'm looking forward to how you are going to have Draco change his mind and fall in love with his family because right now he's just a big ol' prat. ;) Great job and can't wait for the next chapter!

Love your plot bunnies! Sounds like Ron and Pansy are going to end up more than a one night stand. I am proud of Gin, although it was a one nighter, she made the best of it and took it for what it was worth. I'm sure Draco will be coming back for more.

Author's Response: I believe you have the story figured out. : ) Thanks for the review.

Author's Response: Thank you.  I've never seen that show, but I've just added it to my Netflix list.  Thanks for reviewing. 

Reviewer: tinamarie Signed
Date: Jan 22, 2008 Title: Chapter 2: Bad Day

I am in love with this story! I am so sad that there isn't a next chapter up yet. I hope you update very soon. You did a great job of explaining why Draco is living in the Muggle world because I know the questions that popped up in my head were answered later in the story. Marking this as one of my faves...can't wait to see what America brings Draco!

P.S. I hope he can still afford things like First Class Tickets because Coach is not fun for a 7 hour flight ( talking from experience).

Author's Response: Thank you! I was a little concerned that people would dismiss Draco as OOC without reading far enough to see that he isn't.  I'm glad to see that you didn't do that.  :).  Alas Scotland Yard doesn't dish out for international first class tickets.  Thanks for reviewing and for your kind words.

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing, and for your kind words.  I'm glad you liked it.  

Reviewer: tinamarie Signed
Date: May 02, 2008 Title: Chapter 4: Red, White, and Black and Blue

First of all, I want to commend you on a great chapter, I was captivated from beginning to end. Secondly, please do not listen to those reviewers who aren’t appreciating the intricacy of plot you are creating for what it is. I know that this is the foremost site D/G fan-fiction, but there isn’t anything stipulated in submissions rules where Draco and Ginny have to meet in the first two chapters…I am a firm believer that good things come to those who wait and I’m pretty sure Ginny plays a major role in your story (duh) but I think it’s a role that transcends the typical “Draco’s true love”. I like the fact that you are creating something beyond the typical short story, long stories are my favorite and what makes this one so unique is that you are really taking the time to allow us to learn about Ginny and Draco as far as their personalities, their past, and their daily lives. The opportunity to spend this much time with Draco’s character is extremely uncharacteristic of majority of the D/G stories out there. Making Draco a working and functioning part of the Muggle world is also a new twist on the life of Draco and I like what you’ve done so far. The complexity of the plot is making me no less than hungry for more and although I wish you will update this quickly, I know that it isn’t easy to research a story that not only entails the wizarding world but the complexities of the muggle forensic/judicial world as well.

Author's Response: Wow... I'm speechless.  Thank you very much.

Date: Nov 18, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: Second First Impressions

This is such a great story and is very well written. I don't mind the wait if we keep getting great updates like this. I am happy they finally met and am very happy that it didn't turn into this whole "love at first sight" type of story. Keep up the great work and I eagerly anticipate your next chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you so much.  I can't tell you how many times I read your last review.  It kept me motivated to keep writing.  My next chapter was almost finished, when I decided to rewrite the whole thing.  It shouldn't take me as long to finish it, and I really like where it's going.  Thanks so much for continuing to read and review.

I am re-reading this story to embrace the newer chapters you added. This chapter in particular hits close to home as I just left my real home after a two week vacation and I thought about some of the same things Ginny did, especially the leaving nephews and god children who will probably not know who I am when I come back again. Thank you for taking those raw emotions and putting them eloquently into words.

I know I stumbled across this jem before and am glad to be reunited. It is great, I love how Ginny is a strong independant woman and Draco is typical Draco but so much sexier! (If that is possible). You write such great sexual tension, I can't wait to read more!!!

I am interested to see how you play this out. Ginny obviously looks nothing like her real self so even if Draco falls in love with her, it's kind of not really her.

Author's Response: Well Ginny might not look like Ginny, but her personality is still the same, which of course is the most important part in a relationship. >.< Thanks for the review!
