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.

Hmmm...sounds like someone it trying to put a damper on their blooming relationship.

The classics are so much more enjoyable when the main characters are Gin and Draco. Bravo!

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks for all of the reviews!

I like Pansy with Neville, I think they compliment each other well. I also like stories where Gin and her are friends. I too am curious about the bet...will we ever know more? Great story, I like how you made Harry the drunken jerk of the night.

Ooooooh I likely very much. So it's not the most noble way to get a girl, but hey it's Draco and I wouldn't be complaining if he erased my memory so we could be together. I especially liked the line "You get to start over. Maybe some things you hated before, you’ll come to love." This pretty much sums up the story and is almost like a second chance at happiness for the both of them.

Author's Response: Thank you. I was trying to give hints in the dialogue.

The Rules of Engagement by dragonsangel68    (Reviews - 136)

After accepting a foolish dare at a party Draco finds himself breaking the very rules he set for his own self preservation, and his life has been irreversibly turned upside down.

The rules of engagement. I like this, it's light hearted and more focused on regular interaction w/o the usual voldermort, war, etc. :) Don't get me wrong I like those too but this is a nice change from the norm. Loving it, please update soon.

Author's Response: Thanks! You won\'t find any Voldemort or nasties in this fic :) I find he\'s not all that good for the humor content ;)

This chapter was awesome, I love how no matter where they turn they are faced with having to hide the one due to unforseen company. Much kudos to Gin though, I don't think I could stay under the table that long...then again she did have a way to kill to time...LOL. Please update soon.

Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, Ginny was keeping herself well occupied *g* Time passed much quicker when she had something to take her mind off things ;)

Wow I never took Hermione to be the exhibitionist...I always figured she would be more of the modest one in the relationship. ;) I love how you keep messing up thier timing, it's great entertainment. Please update soon.

Author's Response: Thanks! I\'ve always seen Ron as a little awkward, especially when it comes to women, so making his painfully shy wasn\'t difficult ;)

That isn't a very happy ending now is it? I think you wrote an amazing introduction to what could be a fantastic story...would you let other take off from where you started? Overall great read and I like the angst in the end...or is it?

Author's Response: I'm kinda possessive when it comes to my stories haha, if it was going to be continued I'd want to do it...I'm also a sucker for satisfying the public though so since everyone seems to be telling me to continue I might just have to do it...we'll see ;)

Bwuahahahaha I love the fact you made Seamus and Dean a gay couple! It seems so natural though, like they were suppose to always be that way. ;)And Gin is still with scar head? boo-hoo.

Author's Response: hehehe! I am glad you liked what I did with them! I thought would be amused. yeah she is still with him. for now. DUN DUN DUN

It's nice to know she left an impression on him. I knew he would break his rules for her...after all rules are made to be broken. I wonder how he'll react once he realizes it's Ginny? It sounds like he still has his prejudices about her family.

Reviewer: tinamarie Signed
Date: Aug 01, 2008 Title: Chapter 4: Just Shoot Me

I was wondering how this was going to turn out - their encounter that is. I am glad you made it a one sided thing; only having Ginny know that it is actually Draco. I can't wait to read your next chapter...I'm just salivating at the thought. Oh and on another note, I've always wanted to be a great photographer but I've realized I just don't have the knack.

Author's Response: Oh I am glad you weren\'t disappointed! I admit I amused myself with her almost heartache when she saw him. You shouldn\'t have to wait to long for the next chapter. And I\'ll give you a little hint that I already have the next three after that outlined for writing! ;) If I know anything it\'s that art takes practice. Sadly we can\'t all be like Draco and pick things only to be instantly amazing at them... I kinda hate him for that. hah

Ok so is Ginny going to be like a cougar? LOL. I'm sure you have other plans for her which include Draco and not his son. LOL. You have me curious though to why Scorpius is so interested in the final battle.

Author's Response: Don\'t worry. Ginny isn\'t going for Scorpius. She just likes having someone to talk to. :) As far as his interest in the final battle though, well, that\'s something that you\'ll just have to continue reading to find out.

Contractual Obligations by gidge_8    (Reviews - 751)

Selling herself into a marriage contract, Ginny finds herself playing a deadly game, ultimately pitting her husband against her lover and a father against his son. Many twists and turns, depth and evil characters - and a long story of sweet and true love.

New! Epilogue is up! Yes, I know, the story has been "complete" for a couple of years, but this ending has been partially written for a long time and it ties up some loose ends.

I am so glad you updated, I've been thinking about this story a lot. I hope Ginny finds strength in Draco's affections for her and she learns to either fight back or get the heck out of Malfoy Manor! I can't wait to see how this story unfolds.

Author's Response: You are most welcome. I'm glad I finally updated too. I can't believe how long that one chapter took. It was funny because I have many later chapters written, so I know where I'm going with this, but the devil was in the details of how to get there. Thanks again for your wonderful support.

I like how you are easing into just how truly complicated this situation is becoming for both Ginny and Draco. I am eager to see what else happens.

Author's Response: Originally, when I started writing (a year ago) I didn't think of it as complicated, but as the story grew, I realized that there was no way that it could be simplified. Truthfully, I can't wait to give you all the *really* good scenes. If you thought this was good, I have 3 or 4 written that will blow you away.

Reviewer: tinamarie Signed
Date: Sep 26, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Hope in Diagon Alley

Oh man I can only wonder what is going to happen. Lucius is a dork (I would use stronger language but that is frowned upon). Ginny is truly a trooper for enduring what she's been for the past month or so.

Author's Response: She is a trooper. Her character isn\'t intended to be a victim in this story, but a strength. I, personally, am inspired when I hear stories of people who endure terrible things, yet overcome and make themselves or their world better because of it. I felt that I couldn\'t relay the good part without really getting the bad across first.

Oooooh the blooming love affair is coming into play! I hope you do something to help poor Gin, I know how it feels to be "defeated" and complacent, it's not fun.

Author's Response: Ohhh, it so totally is. :) I doubt I\'m giving away any plot by saying so.
\r\nNo, it\'s not fun to be feeling defeated. Fortunately, this is only fiction. I think you\'re going to love what eventually happens, but we are still very, very early in the story.

Date: Oct 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - Desperate Measures

Wow that was really hard for me to read, poor Ginny being abused as she was. It was also even harder to read how she was blaming herself for what happened to her. I know it stems from her need to save her family as opposed to bline devotion, I just hope Draco gets her out soon. Very powerful story.

Author's Response: Thanks again. Your feedback is so valuable to me!!! Soon, dear, things will start changing soon.
