The Challenge by atruenut    (Reviews - 30)

There's nothing Ginny enjoys more than making Draco mad, but she's about to take it all a little too far...

Hehe. That was an interesting end to the chapter. I wonder what they'll do... Ginny'll get Hagrid, maybe? He's the easiest to get on-board, methinks. But would Draco ask Snape? I don't think he would, since he'd ask too many questions. But then maybe neither participants will want to do the task? What would happen then, if neither Ginny nor Draco manages to complete the challenge?

In any case, I can see that this will be quite a fun story to read. I look forward to the next chapter.

Lol! I love that ending! Just when I was starting to think it was a figment of Draco's feverish imagination, Ginny adds that line. :D

Beat It by Warriorlily    (Reviews - 15)

“What do you want, Weasley?”
“You were listening to Muggle music?” she asked, wrapping her hands around the warm cup.
“Michael Jackson, if you must know,” Malfoy answered, rolling his eyes in exasperation, although his cheeks had an unexpected pink tinge. “Now, can you leave so that I can eat my pancakes in peace?”
A little tribute to the late King of Pop.

Distracting Ginny by CCC    (Reviews - 74)

The war rages on. Twenty year old Draco Malfoy is stuck at Grimmauld Place with nothing to do until Harry asks him to distract Ginny. Perhaps Harry should have been more specific about what he wanted Draco to do.

Hehe. This is a great story. I'm really glad you decided to post it. Draco is extremely realistic. I love how he set up that conversation in the cellar! Had me giggling. :D

I've added this to my favourites list; I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Dancing on the Bar by ogygiasylph    (Reviews - 55)

When Draco finds Miss. Weasley dancing on the bar at one of London's fanciest nightclubs, he is more than a little bit surprised. Intrigued, amused, he finds himself drawn to her; the interest seems reciprocal. Little does he know that Ginny is looking for more than sex, money, or even love...

Is there any chance of continuing this story? It's got a great plot and well thought out characterisation, not to mention the chemistry between Draco and Ginny. It would be a great shame not to see it continued!

My Heart is Yours by serinah    (Reviews - 14)

Summary: They have been going out for a while now - they go on a date every Friday and spend Saturday together, and often Sunday too. Then there are week nights that are too long to spend apart, and lunches between work on Diagon Alley. Her stuff is all over his place - and did she really propose to him? He's sure she did. She's not so sure.

Hehehe. This is cute! I really like the realism of the uncertainty Draco felt when Ginny seemed to not be ready for a proposal. The banter is spot on, too. It's interesting to see them both slip into their comfort zones with Draco all haughty about being able to offer everything that money can buy & Ginny teasing good-naturedly with her pouting.

I look forward to reading more of your stories! :)

Lol. Brilliant. I had a feeling that Ginny was only pulling out of the wedding since she didn't want to elope. She's way too close to her family to do that in good conscience. I think the arguing was extremely realistic, too. Blaise was great. A true friend, in all senses of the word. :D I really like the flashbacks - they weren't intrusive or abrupt; Narcissa, in particular, was characterised very well. It's just a shame there weren't more flashbacks; I really like this story.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Unfortunately, there was a maximum acceptable word count for the exchange, so I had to limit the flashbacks, but I could have gone on forever ;)

I love the style of writing. So often I find that writers can only keep up the level of cheeky narrative for only so long, but you managed it masterfully and led into the main story with a great anticipatory ending. :)

Author's Response:

Guess I answered your second review first, huh? Whoops.

Well, anyway, thanks for this one too!

Reviewer: shaded Signed
Date: Oct 24, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Yay, I love that you've carried on with this narrator. I had thought you were going to stop after the first chapter and go to "normal" prose. This is much more fun. :D

I look forward to reading more of the story.

Author's Response:

I thought it was way more fun too. ;P After writing the first part like that, it would have been so boring to go back to a normal voice. I just couldn't do it.

I'm sorry, but this is it. The story is now complete. I don't know where you got the impression that there would be any more, but I've got nothing more to give you.

Wow. I have chills. That was haunting and filled with enough anger, confusion, frustration and eventual listlessness that I feel almost drained upon coming to the end.

I think I'm adding this fic to my faves. It's so meaningful for such a short piece. :)

Look At Me by DeLaLune    (Reviews - 336)

Ginny finally has everything she's ever wanted. The boy of her dreams, top grades, and a way to finally break into the Golden Trio. When perfection turns out to be less than perfect she finds herself seeking solace in another journal. When this journal writes back, she is understandably worried—until she discovers the person writing back is a fellow student. A fellow student who refuses to divulge his identity. Does she want to know who this mystery person is? Or has she already revealed too much of herself?

No Rhyme or Reason by Persephone33, Mynuet    (Reviews - 58)

This is a series of (eventually) one hundred scenes from the lives of Draco and Ginny. There is no overarching theme; each of these "chapters" is a stand alone ficlet. Some of them might go together, but we make no promises.

Date: Feb 28, 2010 Title: Chapter 22: Rough

Wow. This is lovely. There's so much hurt festering under the surface, that I'm sure will be very intriguing to explore. I don't even mind that it's EoD-compliant, since the dynamic between Ginny and Draco is very interesting.

I must say that I love the opening part. For a moment I thought that Ginny was standing in front of Harry, right up until the mention of his eyes! I had to go back and re-read it to wonder at how seamlessly Draco's identity had been hidden. :)

I really like the level of detail of the plants and gardening. It's just enough to make it feel totally natural that Ginny has been a gardener for years.

Now off to the next chapter...

I *adore* Mary Sagitta! She's just the right mixture of precociousness and charm.

~It was probably part of her job, one of those things that was expected of employees. ~
This made my heart clench. Ginny's trying so hard not to let anything give her hope- she clearly doesn't want to let herself get hurt again.

~He'd already confided in her more than was really warranted, and she didn't want or need to hear his problems.~
Uh-oh, the road to D/G goodness is going to be much more bumpy than anticipated. But I suppose there is hope - Ginny at least is making an effort, even if she just wants a friendship for now.

Oh my goodness. I wasn't expecting that at all. It's a brilliant story. There isn't a line that is out of place or that should be changed; it's perfect. I love the way it conveys the link that existed between Draco and Ginny without ever putting a label on it (when Ginny felt comfortable holding Draco in Myrtle's bathroom and he also calmed).

The last few moments is my favourite part of the story, closely followed by the end of the bathroom scene. I am in awe of how well you convey so many emotions with a few gestures and words (Draco gently grazing his hand against Ginny's jaw, almost reverently says so much about his feelings and hers).

I'll definitely be back for many re-reads of this story in future. It's also being added to my faves list. :) I look forward to reading more of your stories.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so happy so much got conveyed. Thank you again for being such a thorough reviewer. Its reviews like yours that really push people to continue writing. :)

Burning Ice by dumbledorefan_07    (Reviews - 115)

Ginny Weasley is a charm breaker for Gringotts. She's been around the world, but now the bank has called her home for the 10-year vault check. When she returns, there are secrets she can't escape, truths waiting to be discovered and a past in need of redemption.

Chapter 13 Quote

It was when she averted her eyes to the side of the building that she saw something to make her blood run cold.

She froze, stopping dead in her tracks and letting her arms fall limply to her sides. She stared at him, eyes wide in the red light of twilight, taking in the sight of his white-blond hair and porcelain features.

“No,” she breathed.

Red and green curses were flying about her in every direction, but it seemed the world had slowed down to her and the man who had not yet noticed her.

What a great almost-kiss! It was so hot. I wonder if Harry will confront Ginny about what he saw.

Everything about Draco and Ginny's interaction was charged and all the more enticing for it.

I really liked that part at the end in which Draco was wondering what Ginny's reaction to his disappearance was.

I look forward to reading about their next meeting! I hope you update soon. :)

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! In answer to your comments: Harry won't exactly confront Ginny. He's a bit more cool about D/G in this story. Their next meeting will be even more sexually charged, so keep reading! Thanks again for the comments!
