Ohmigod! The angst - it burns!

That was either painfully beautiful, or beautifully painful. I don't know which. You had me almost in tears, woman! Tears! And I'll have you know my canon involves D/G snogging in dark corridors while JKR focuses on the "Golden Trio". It helps my peace of mind. ;)

This is SO like Draco; your characterization of him is spot on. And I LOVE Draco with long hair. b29;!

As cruel as he is, I have to wonder what would have happened if Ginny'd been a little less insecure. :

Author's Response:

LOL.

DO NOT READ "Cruel"!

I fear our new-found conection through love of D/G may quickly perish if you do! See, the thing is, this actually not my angstiest fic- not by a long shot- and he's not particularly mean to her here, comparatively speaking...>_<

Like I said, it's my attempt at writing something that more or less conforms to canon, and my version of it kind of fits yours. :D

Thanks for the lovely feedback! ^_^

You had me snorting aloud in the library, woman! XD

Of course Malfoy was a precocious child; Malfoys are NOTHING if not precocious (and filthy rich). Mediwizard indeed. :D

I’d rather commit hari-kiri with a used paper clip than ever shag you again.

I'm keeping that one. You're just too brilliant with the snark!

The "eight or nine inches" joke isn't getting old any time soon. ;D And I LOVE what you've done with Harry. *nods fervently* My inner tart is relishing the imagery. XD

Aiiish! A cliffe :(

From the top, then, and I'll try to be rational about this.

I love your crack fic like a druggie loves... crack. It's brilliant, and witty and a tad overdone (Walmart, really? ;D), but it's CRACK and that's why it's funny.

You could call me Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, if you like
Nick is a vampire after my own heart.

And the idea of playing Pasha and Slave-girl just makes a girl swoon, really. I doubt Ginny would be as averse to the offer if Draco were the one suggesting it. *grins*

I bet you know how each and every one of those stains got on Draco, don't you. *sigh* My heart was warmed when he reached for Ginny. You aren't *that* cruel ;)

Look, we all learned Napping spells the very first summer of Junior Death Eater camp, all right? The worst you could call it is a not-terribly-nice Dark spell.”

That line reminded me that this was supposed to be a crack fic before the plot ran away with Anise.

Why is Draco so adamant about denying his feelings? Would it put them in more danger if he agreed? Since his main goal is to keep both of them alive, I'd have to say yes. Does that mean Cedward didn't give Ginny the whole truth when he gave her that spiel about "love can save him"? And how are they under the city and yet the vampires haven't come out to say hello? I guess because they're Muggle vampires, Draco can evade them better?

I loved your ramblings. Unfortunately, they're about the only semblance of crack this fic has left. There's too much angst, and Junior Death Eater Camp isn't enough to dispel the feeling of impending gloom and doom.

The writing is as stupendous as always, and even if people end up dying I'll still read it because, frankly, I'd rather have you make me cry than some two-bit knock-off trying to make me laugh. b29; I wish you speedy updates.

Anise, you're in denial about the length of the story. :P

I'll try to write around my headache. Another lovely chapter and thank Merlin for some explanations! I'm glad to see Nick, even if he is utterly maddening with his lack of answers and looking forward to more revelations in the next chapter. I miss D/G already. :

Wow! Lots of plot development here. I feel like we're moving, but staying in the same place - like jogging on spot. WHO COMES UP WITH YOUR ARBITRARY CHAPTER ENDINGS? I'd like to sue for anxiety meds, thanks.

Is it just me, or is Cedric just a pompous, narrow-minded little prick? He's starting to annoy me with his complete lack of faith in Draco and his preference of the Volturi over Wizardkind. If he was a wizard before, shouldn't he be inclined to go to them for help with his problems? If Voldemort is weaker than the Volturi (who seem like the bad guys in any case), shouldn't he opt to go with HIS plan (whatever it might be) and then stab him in the back later, or something? In any case, he's just using the Volturi as a means to an end, so how does that make him better than Draco, who seems to be stuck between the devil(s) and the deep blue sea? Hypocrite.

Writing-wise, I like the back story we saw in this chap. I'm sure it will go a long way to clearing up future scenarios. I'm curious: Ginny's been stuck in the past for how many chapters now, so exactly how long is this fic going to be?

Congrats on finishing another fic! :)

While I appreciate the lack of Harry, I have to wonder if he'd provide another avenue for entertainment with HIS view on why Ginny's being cozy with Malfoy. Lol. Hermione, I think, is well written, despite that she doesn't know what 'minions' are. I think she'd be appalled (or at the very least surprised and sceptical) that Ron knows a word she doesn't.

So far, we've only had secondhand D/G but I love the dialogue and the blatant double entendres. The first years become likable characters for the brief moments we're with them, and Ron's temper fits in so perfectly with the runaway-plot crack!fic.

On a side note, maybe Ron should see Franz Kafka for more details on turning Malfoy into a cockroach a la The Metamorphosis. Haha.

The extended version was worth it. Thank you, Anise, for totally confirming what I KNEW all along. Draco and Ginny were together that year (did you see the look she gave him when Filch caught him at Slughorn's party?). I'm NOT crazy! :D

I can stay up here too, if you'd like.

So much love to Ginny for that line. Thanks for not killing the D/G at the end/beginning there. That pulled the corners of my mouth down last time.
