I really enjoy this story thus far. Grammar, spelling and plot! The triad! I do have one (major) criticism. Ginny's "Angel in the House" act is really irritating me. A lot. Most women do really well throughout their pregnancies (not to say that all do, but most). It's not an illness and it's not going to have her completely bed-ridden. Bed rest doesn't actually have any proven effect on early birth and doesn't really help much else unless she has a diagnosis. Nutrition is more important. Your Draco treating her like a doll is understandable, but Molly Weasley, mother of seven, would know it is actually best to keep moving and keep active during a pregnancy. The fainting is understandable but the treatment following is ridiculous. Ginny doesn't even have a job to worry about (for some reason), so she should really be kept active. I know you're not going to re-write such an otherwise good story because of my criticism, but I just wanted to get it out there. Thanks for a great story, and I really don't mean for this to upset you, just to inform. I really mean it when I say that I truly enjoyed this story. Just this one element gets me.

Author's Response: Thanks for your comments, but you’ve actually misinterpreted that whole situation. A week of bed rest was prescribed by the Malfoy family Healer, because that is what Narcissa would have had after such an episode (she was the ‘oh woe is me’ type), and the healer is appeasing her more than anything – to say everything would be fine wouldn’t have made for a happy Malfoy family. Draco knows no better, and the Healer’s prescribed treatment was simply reported to Molly, so she accepted it (if the Healer says you need it, then you do it), because she doesn’t know if there’s an underlying problem, particularly at that point. More than anything, the week of bed rest was used as a tool to keep Ginny at the manor and give them an opportunity to sort their problems out. Taking just one element isn’t enough to color the entire picture.\r\n

\r\nGinny does have a job; it’s called being a mother to her two young children.\r\n

\r\nAs for your comment ‘Bed rest doesn\'t actually have any proven effect on early birth’, you couldn’t be more wrong. There are women who wouldn’t experience motherhood if not for spending the entirety of their pregnancies flat on their backs in hospital. Bed rest is commonly prescribed for pregnant women if there is a problem (sometimes for the smallest things, simply to allow the body to heal as it cares for the infant it is developing). Why? There is so little you can take in the way of medication when pregnant without fear of it affecting your baby, so quick fixes are out of the question. As someone who has spent a total of four weeks on bed rest (two of them in hospital) due to a simple health issue while pregnant (I have three children, by the way) I am well aware of the benefits rest can produce.\r\n

\r\nI hope you continue to enjoy the story. As you get further along you will read about Ginny’s opinion of her ‘bed rest’.\r\n
