Slytherin Squad by HalfBloodDragon    (Reviews - 156)

As the unintended Captain of the most despised Auror squad, can Draco Malfoy lead his band of Slytherins through Death Eater attacks and threats from the Ministry? Definitely not. At least, not without the help of his reluctant Lieutenant: Ginny Weasley. Inconveniently, the last person he'd ever ask.

Blaise! Tell me darling Blaise is all right! If I could hug Daphne, I would, too. I hope Blaise will recover fast and get back to his usual charming (pun intended) self.

Highly appreciate the just right panicked slash concerned slash irrational reaction from Ginny's family and friends. Nothing too complicated. It just shows they genuinely care for her. Oh, and I love your Draco and Ginny banter! ...and Ginny's tea makes a comeback. Hope Daphne liked her tea as well. Haha!

I've simply fallen for your story and your writing technique! Quality D/G fics are hard to find these days. I'm so happy I stumbled upon yours while it's still ongoing. The wait for each chapter is something I welcome, just as long as you promise to finish the story, ok? Promise me! Lol. I'm definitely hooked. I'll track this story as soon as I've submitted this review. Love lots and keep writing!

Author's Response: Your reviews are so fantastic that I don't know where to start! I can't exactly tell you if Blaise will be alright yet. ;) I've seen so many awful Gryffindor-bashing fics that I tried really hard to not fall into that category. Hopefully it worked, haha. Yep, you totally called the resurgence of the tea! :) Wow, thank you so much! I can absolutely promise to finish the story...because it's already finished! I abandoned an Inception fic of mine for years, and I didn't want to risk doing that again. So every chapter of Slytherin Squad is currently sitting on my drive, ready to go for the weekly postings. I'm so excited to have you onboard, and I can't wait till the next chapter on Thursday! :D

Hooray for the beginning of a D/G friendship! And they're finally calling each other by their first names!! After they saved each others' lives, it's only proper, right? ;)

The way you developed their relationship is really believable and well paced. It's not rushed nor forced, and Draco's respect and concern for her didn't just pop out of nowhere. It's so good to see him start to care for her! That final scene was so good!! They'll end up in Malfoy Manor, won't they? I hope they do! Ginny will be very safe there. Of course Draco won't let any harm befall her; not on his watch! ...and under his own roof to boot! Plus, if they're in the same house, D/G moments will be more possible! Squeeee!! Can't wait to read the next chapter!

P.S. I was almost terrified you won't update your story this week! I've been checking since two days ago. Haha. Thank you so much for the update! x

Author's Response: YAY believability! Hopefully that continues on through the next chapter, which you may or may not have called ;) Totally not telling. Also, I am SO SORRY for freaking you out. I just didn't submit my chapter early enough to become validated by Thursday. If I die, it's already in my will that the chapters will keep updating, so have no fear! XD

YES!! Their feelings are starting to surface and confuse them, which in turn is amusing to witness. *giggles* Aaahh, love, what a wonderful and frustrating state to be in. Two thumbs up for the steady D/G build up and foundation.

I wonder where those Death Eaters came from and why they only targeted Ginny when technically, they should also be angry with Draco since he's on the good side. Hmph. Darn them for spoiling Draco and Ginny's lovely time together. The ice cream scene was delicious, pun intended. See you again next week! :)

Can I just say that's it so awesome they had a date in the Muggle world and they watched X-Men in cinemas? I love Marvel!! Plus their interaction with Fred and Hermione and that twist at the end! Oh, you're a genius! MORE!! :)

Aaaww, reading the chapter end notes just made me so proud and happy for you. It is a well deserved "featured" and your growth in writing is something you will always have with you even after you finish this fic. Congrats!

That was a bloody (pun intended) good final battle! Very realistic and detailed, my imagination went haywire! I was preparing myself for someone to die, but thank Merlin no one did... or at least, no one I liked. Lol. Great job as always!

I forgot to leave a review when I read this chapter last week! Oh no. Better late than never, yes?

All those awards. Merlin, don't they deserve all of them and more. I am so happy that the coming together of not only the Wizarding World but also the world of Slytherin Squad with the rest of the Wizarding World is very realistic and unrushed. It was built up tastefully that it was logical and normal for all of them to unite and burn old bridges and build new ones. I would have liked more D/G action, but hey, they got engaged and tied the knot! Yay! I'm jumping off to the epilogue now. x

Date: Sep 18, 2015 Title: Chapter 26: Epilogue: Fifteen Years Later

Aaaaawww. I already love Scorpius to bits!! That little man will surely be the kindest, bravest, smartest Slytherin. Too cute! I can only imagine the pride, joy, and love that swelled up inside Ginny and Draco while reading that letter.

This is one of the best D/G fanfics I've ever read. Thank you for this. I'm sure in time, it'll become one of them classics. Please write more! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your works in the future.

'Til then, hugs and kisses from an avid fan and reader. xoxo

Still no news about Blaise and Goyle. *sigh* Plus the squad getting disbanded is gutwrenching, but at least Ginny is getting better. Nasty business, getting splinched is. I hope the next chapter will give us some much needed answers; I really don't like seeing Daphne cry.

Date: Sep 25, 2014 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Malfoy Manor

Squeeeeeeeee!! Awkward and flustered Draco is so adorable! ...and I'm also a sucker for pureblood gentleman Draco. Teehee. That scene at the lake is definitely one of my fave D/G moments. It's witty, sweet, light, and highly entertaining. Ginny, give Draco tea privileges in exchange for board and lodging! Loljk. :) Ahem. I'm hinting here that you add more to those moments. Well, Ginny's staying, and I hope for a looong time, at Malfoy Manor, soooo... I'll let you work your magic on those two. ;)

Thank you so much for the very fast update and for the 10 points! I was so pleasantly surprised to see my name in the Author's Note. *blushes* And I am very relieved to know that you've already finished writing this story, so there truly is no excuse for you to abandon it and leave us hanging! *throws confetti*

Oh, this is easily becoming my favorite D/G fanfic. It's the first time I've followed an ongoing fic like this, and it's really great to be "part" of the journey. As early as it may be, I'm already hoping that this isn't your last one and you'll be writing plenty more! But for now, I eagerly and patiently await the next update (Oh look, that rhymes!).

Author's Response: Awwww I'm so glad you liked it! Also, congrats, I am now totally kicking myself for not having her trade tea for room and board. Don't worry though, this isn't the last you'll see of the tea XD ...you warm my author's heart so dearly. I've never done this before (completing and then weekly updating a story) so it's insanely fun to take others down this journey that I finished but get to rediscover with each new review. I can't thank you enough for joining me in the journey. Posting all these chapters is already making my fingers itch to start the next one, but we'll see. It took me a year to finish Slytherin Squad (yes, you have quite a few more updates left XD) so there's no telling when (or if) the next one will be ready to start posting. If you have any plot bunnies for me, I'll gladly toy with the ideas! :) Until then, I impatiently await Thursdays. And to satiate my impatience, there's an extra chapter this week too. XD

Hiiiii! This is SilverAura09. I just got a brand new shiny name with the help of the magical admin powers of the wonderful Anise! Just wanted to give you the heads up since my reviews will now be "Signed: CrimsonQuill". It's still me! And your story's still awesome. Teehee. See you again on the next update! :)

Oh, and one more thing... could you possibly do an avid fan a favor? Could you kindly change your Author's Note to my new name, please? I plan to get this on my Kindle when the story is finished, and I will forever squee in delight whenever I read my name on Chapter 6's Author's Note. That's my sentimental side and fangirl side talking. HAHA! :)

P.S. Congrats on reaching 1000+ reads! x

Author's Response: I changed it. I squee in delight reading your reviews, so now we're even! :) Thank you for pointing that out! I just submitted an extra chapter to celebrate the 1,000 views, so hopefully that'll be up before Thursday! Waiting a whole week between chapters is killing me. I'm not patient enough for this. XD

Darling Blaise is okay, yay! Aaaawww, Daphne's so sweet to stay with him in the hospital. Looks like this story won't have a love triangle. PHEW! That's a relief. Now, Blaise, listen to me, you have to continue teasing Draco and Ginny. I know we are all in agreement here that they need the push. ;)

Your little note at the end made me even more excited for the next chapter! That cliffhanger was perfect!! Oh, Draco and Blaise in the Burrow will be so much fun! Daphne would also be a great addition to their little Slytherin Team for this mission. I need chapter 8 now! ...please. :)

Oooohhh, and I see my new name on chapter 6. I'm so flattered and happy, thank you! *blushes*

I dread and am usually skeptical when it comes to Draco interacting with the Weasleys in any way. Sometimes even Ginny's time with her own family is so difficult to read; I've read one too many fanfics where everything is such a mess and greatly disappoints. But then you give us this chapter, with two additional Slytherins to squeeze in the dinner table, and I am stunned with how wonderfully written it is! How you've managed such a feat, I do not know, but your work so far is astounding. I applaud you. x

Date: Oct 08, 2014 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Irish Incident

Another fast update? Oh, you're spoiling us! Haha. SLIIIIIIIIIME!! I did NOT see that coming! Very original and not at all clichéd. Brownie points for that. :) So good to see the Squad working as a team, people should start putting a little more faith on them. Maybe someday, when they stop thinking and feeling that their past defines them, they'll be able to cast a real Patronus. That would be nice, and I'd love to see Draco's Patronus! :) Wishing Blaise a speedy recovery. The Squad obviously needs him back, asap! :D

The Scandalmongers by LadyEndymion    (Reviews - 17)

You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance. ~ Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor

When an engaged Ginny Weasley was traded to the Wimbourne Wasps, she never expected to fall in love with teammate Draco Malfoy. She certainly never expected their love letters to be stolen and published to the entire Wizarding public. This is a story of how a love affair began and the scandal that rocked Wizarding society.

Originally written for the Fall 2011 DG Forum Exchange; now heavily expanded and revised.

It's an affair but they're not married yet. Just engaged. And that could still be fixed! ...or unfixed since Ginny belongs with Draco! Loopholes, loopholes. Yay, for loopholes. Haha.

This is just the prologue but I'm already anxiously waiting for the next chapter! I've always said this world needs more quality D/G fics and I'm counting on this one to be added to that list, okay? ;)

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I aiming to update about once a week.

When a case of workplace sexual harassment leaves Ginny in a truly desperate state, the natural thing to do is to convince Draco Malfoy to pretend to be her boyfriend. Naturally.

Draco's Seeker line just about killed me! *swoons* I'm honestly surprised Ginny didn't jump him after hearing that. Lol. I am so happily frustrated with the slow burn. I'm on the edge of my seat and just as I start thinking they'll kiss, they get interrupted!! Ooooohhh. You better be writing one heck of a kiss! ...and beyond kissing. Oops. Write more!!

Author's Response: Ginny really wanted to jump him after that line (me too, in fact. ;)) I make noooo promises that anything you'd like to see will make an appearance in the next chapter, but I can guarantee that they are coming... eventually. >:D I loved this review so much. Thank you for reading!!

Date: Dec 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 8: Eight: A Determined Ghost

What an evil, evil way for you to leave the story!! I can't believe the next update will be on February; I am dying to see how Junker will get on Draco's nerve this time. Watch out!! Jealous/protective Draco will be arriving soon. *evil laugh* If this doesn't make Draco admit his feelings for Ginny, even just to himself, I'd punch him. Lol.

Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year!! Looking forward to your future fics and next update. May you enjoy the holiday break and have plenty of time to rest and write and just be merry! Yay! See you again soon. x

Author's Response: I know, I know. Originally Ginny's part was going to go into chapter 9 somewhere, but I was feeling particularly evil, so I figured I'd introduce the conference sooner. >:D Thank you so much for the holiday wishes!! I hope you have a happy holiday as well!!

I am loving Ginny's interactions with the Dark Mark! I hope that'll make Draco see that it's just a scar from a past mistake. It isn't who he is now. Oh, I absolutely love little details like that!

Author's Response: I like them, too. :) And it doesn't make a lot of sense for the Dark Mark to never be addressed. It's a big part of who Draco was and who he has become, and anyone he is with (pretend or otherwise) would need to come to terms with it as well. :D

P.S. I love Pansy. Woohoo!

Author's Response: OMG. Bahahaha! That pun, I'm dying. I'm so glad you like Pansy! She's so fun to write. n_n

Date: Nov 03, 2015 Title: Chapter 7: Seven: A Delicate Conversation

Phew. She decided to talk with Draco. That is the most sensible although difficult solution. Wonder how that conversation will go. Hmmm. But both talks with Hermione and Pansy went well and I couldn't ask for more! Thanks for shedding more light into Pansy and Theo's relationship, I almost thought they weren't in love when I desperately wanted them to be. They deserve to be happy! ...just as Draco and Ginny will be. Teehee.

Author's Response: I worried a little that people would think Pansy doesn't like Theodore at all, but she's just showing her rough exterior. In fact, I love Pansy and Theo so much, I started writing a companion piece (hopefully just a one shot) about their love story prior to the beginning of this story! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
