Vineyard Summer by jessica k malfoy    (Reviews - 387)

Ginny Weasley is sent to stay with her grandparents until the war ends, as her parents want to keep her out of harm's way. Her grandparents have another guest, another person in hiding, and a relationship quickly blossoms between them. However, with the war and so many secrets around them, Ginny isn't sure how to make it work. Fluffy occasionally, but things can't always be perfect, can they? Decisions have to be made and consequences dealt with.

For a fleeting moment, she imagined that they would never hear from their families again, that they would remain together in Tuscany until they were old and gray, with great-grandchildren. Much to her surprise, the thought didn’t make her as sad as she thought it should.

Well done! I liked it. I have to say I abandoned HP-related fanfic for a while (like six months I think). But wondering what happened to these two in your story actually got me to come on back. I'm glad I did :) Happy Holidays!

Redeeming the Dragon by thelovinspoonful    (Reviews - 349)

"Perhaps it really didn't matter what he was, perhaps it just mattered that he was." Unexpected events lead to unexpected relationships. Can one person be so important to the destruction of Voldemort? Nothing happens by chance, but sometimes, life might be simpler if it did.

I read this in a single sitting. I love where (I think) you're going with it. It has just the right balance of sweet and biting sarcasm. In short: Well done!

Author's Response: Thank you for the sweet review!  I'm glad you think I've found a nice balance of "sweet and sour"  Draco and Ginny are so finicky sometimes.  Haha!

Nineteen Years Later... the Truth by Anise    (Reviews - 893)

What really happened in the DH Epilogue of Doom. Poor, poor Harry, so very clueless...

Chapter SIXTY-NINE quote of the day:

Ginny scowled at him. “You don’t know me very well.”

Draco shook his head, his eyes more sorrowful than ever. “No. I don’t. Eternity wouldn’t be long enough for that.”

“Why do I feel as if we’ve suddenly wandered into the set of a men’s cologne commercial?” complained Lucifer.

“Can’t you keep your damn mouth shut, Lucifer?” spat Draco.

“Please… really… I don’t think you should talk to him that way,” whispered Ginny.

I started reading this one a while ago- always been a fan of Machiavelli, so your introduction always intrigued me. So I read it, and it was good- very good! But then, no updates, and it was like, BOOOOO! I want more!
So, in conclusion, thanks for picking it back up.

Author's Response: haha. XD Yeah, sorry about the lack of updates. But, as you can see, I am actively working on this story again. Thanks for sticking with this story for so long!

Notes on Falling Out of Love by fallingskyes    (Reviews - 281)

It's hard to learn how to live without that one person you thought would be in your life forever. But Ginny Weasley had always been a quick study, and there are always certain grey-eyed boys to help speed up the learning process...

Well hurrah!
Good news for me, since I love your work- and sorry you thought your ending was crap.
Endings are funny, fickle creatures, and most times so are the characters a person writes. They tend to want to do their own thing regardless of what you've planned, which- at least in my humble experience- leads to stilted, awkward, occasionally awful endings that just don't work.
I'm totally looking forward to the re-write. And to reading whatever else you have in the works.

Say My Name by akiko_dono    (Reviews - 58)

It was more than a fleeting thought. Fleeting could be pushed aside. Fleeting could be ignored. This slow burn, this ache...it had the promise of addiction, the means to swallow them both whole. Started as smut, but developed quite the plot.

The World Inverted by rowan_greenleaf    (Reviews - 228)

Draco doesn't remember their past together, and now she's just a Weasley to him. Ginny will do anything -jump through all the hoops, pose as an interior decorator, tap dance -ANYTHING- to break the spell that erased his memory and make him love her again.

I'm very much enjoying the story so far... I especially like the way you describe Draco. I can see him very vividly in my minds eye, and that takes some skill.
So, please, pretty please, may I have some more? ;)

Author's Response:

Ha! Since you asked so nicely, kind of like Oliver Twist ;p I'd say definitely YES. There will be more up soon, hopefully. Thanks for reviewing! ^_^

Don't worry! The next installment will be up SOON! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^

I thought it was well written, as well as humorous where it needed to be. Occasionally, even a light-hearted fic needs a little bit of drama to move the story along.
So far, I've very much enjoyed your story and hope you're able to get the next chapter out quickly! :)

Author's Response: I'm hoping I will get it out soon. My muse has been kicking me on this one, and it's just about done. :)

This was so very good. I adored it, especially: "It was only one little tart, for goodness sake, and it was being used in self-defense, after all!"
Anyway, well-done! Can't wait to see what you do with the epilogue.

Why do I get the feeling something awful is about to happen?
But I have to say, I adore the rest of your story. It's cute and sweet, but not in that sickening way, and you can just feel the genuine affection you have for your characters.
Excellent job!

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.

Read this back when it was released, but didn't review, even though I loved it.
Two things that tickled me: Old man White TOTALLY morphed into Gary Coleman in my head. But in a good way.
Loved that Draco thought Ginny was the maid.
I can't wait for the epilogue!

Malfoy In a Glass, Darkly by Anise    (Reviews - 129)

Many years ago, Draco Malfoy made a choice that led him very far away from Ginny Weasley, and the life that they might have shared. But not only is it hopeless to fight fate, its paths have a strange way of turning when you least expect them to, as a very unexpected person later learns...

Malfoy In a Glass Cover
Chapter FOURTEEN Quote of the Day:

“It can’t be worse than going to Romania. James is getting worse by the day. Lily doesn’t care about anything but her broom. And Mum and Dad—“ Albus breaks off.

Ginny. Scorpius can feel his face stiffen, and he has to conjure a coughing fit to cover it. Incredible how simply hearing of her, not even hearing her name, is enough to cause that stab of feeling in him. Just when he thinks that he’s over that sort of thing entirely—

“The point is, I’m so glad I can go with you,” sighs Albus.

Maybe I ought to wish that you couldn’t, thinks Scorpius. For your own good.

I will admit I was fully prepared to hate you for starting a new story when here I wait rather desperately for updated on your other stories. As always, though, you won me over- and now I'll be waiting desperately for you to update this one, too.

Author's Response: It's okay! Everything will be getting a new chapter soon. :)

I am so enjoying this- it's seems like Scorpius generally gets a raw deal in terms of how he's characterized (and overlooked) in other fics. You've dealt so delicately with themes that are uncomfortable- it's truly a fantastic read.

Author's Response: Thanks! :) I don't usually like Scorpius in next-gen fics either (and I actually think that's a big reason why I avoid them.) This was just the way I saw him-- so different from his father in so many ways; so like him in some others. And there's so much more coming up-- I hope you'll like that too! :)

There is nothing better than waking up on a Sunday morning, curling up in my chair on the patio and reading Anise's latest installment. :)
Smashing job! Especially loved "the thickest bastard" bit at the end.

Author's Response: Oh... thanks! (Nothing better? Really? Not even winning the lottery? Well, maybe I'd better not push my luck... ;) Yes, Scorpius knows that he's getting in too deep, but whether that knowledge helps him or not remains to be seen...

I just thought that "nothing better" sounded better than "Well I like getting morning head and Lobster Benedict better than reading your story on a Sunday morning, but it rates pretty high up there on my list" :P

But seriously, love this fic. You've done another heart-wrenching, odd, wonderful thing.

Author's Response: Well. Allrighty then. :) Anyway, more soon!

For some reason I heard Yoda speaking when the goblin was leading Scorpius away at the end. It amused me ;)
Anyway, another good chapter. But I am dying to know what the deal with Lily is. I have my suspicions... But you have a knack for red herrings, so I'll wait for it.

Author's Response: Um... it's possible that Yoda may have been an inspiration. (looks around shiftily) And we'll find out about Lily, all right. ;)

I was sad to see that there weren't more chapters in this yet... (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
It's very good, lots of nuances and humor, but not really fluffy.
You've done a great job in capturing a lot of the tone of the original- which was one of the most enjoyable fics I've read in a while.
Thanks for a great read!

Author's Response: So glad that you like it, and thank you so much for the kind compliment. Nudge acknowledged! The story turned out to be a bit more detailed and much longer than I had originally planned, and I've been without my pc for almost 6 weeks. Hoping to get back into it soon. Best wishes!

If Your Hands Were In Mine by Anise    (Reviews - 21)

Ginny hasn’t seen Draco since the last time they met in a moonlit corridor after the last battle at Hogwarts. So why is he following her around the Ministry of Magic five years later, desperately trying to warn her about unseen dangers? And why does she still feel that same old disturbing attraction to him?

Chapter FOUR quote of the day:

“Get out of here, Malfoy,” she hissed at him.

He shook his head.

“I’m working on my public art project. Out.

“No,” he said, not moving a muscle.

“Fine,” she sighed, walking over to him. “Why don’t you just tell me what you want, then? Let’s get this over with.”
