*very happy satisfied sigh* I knew it would turn out wonderful and smutty. I had faith in you! Draco is sweet with his attempts to woo her (silly Blaise I might add), but it was effective nonetheless. I loved the ending - he really has loved her forever and she was just too stupid to see it. I just glad that they managed to get their act together and get on with the smutty goodness. Thank you for the fantastic cheer - I so needed that today.

That's right Draco, just overwhelm her - don't give a chance to say no - just keep assaulting her with your charm and your fantastic bare chest and teasing about your previous evening together. She'll give in. She'd be brain dead or stupid not to. Just don't give her any choice or time to think. If you want this this is how you have to go about it - make it so that she needs you in every way just like she needs air to breathe. That's the ticket...I can't wait to see what else he has up his sleeve...err down his silk lounging pants.

Dear Draco, I understand that you are in love with Gin and are desperate for her to return your love, but moving in so quickly? Sweetheart, you haven't even told your respective families yet about your still very new relationship. Sure the sex is fantastic and you do have a good time together, but are you truly ready for 24/7 action? I'm quite positive you both are capable of having your 'moments' that drive the other insane. Please, please, please don't do something stupid to ruin this. I want you to be cautious and take good care of her heart and your own heart. Just please be careful and don't push the issue. It's cute right now because the relationship is still in that shiny new/fantastic sex stage, but things do change - just please keep this in mind! I say this because I love you oodles and I just want you to be happy. Love, Pud.

Author's Response: I just had to respond to one of my favorite ladies even though I've been trying to focus my energies of getting these stories out. You know my motto 'no story shall have an unhappy end or at least one in which Draco and Ginny do not end up together'. However how they actually end up together may not be smooth. This story has taken on a life on its own and I don't think the three or four chapters I originally envisioned will be enough. Let me just say that the fact that they haven't told their families will definitely be a factor and that as of this point in the story, Ginny's not actually a resident of Draco's flat. Hee hee.

Dear Draco, You find yourself in a right pickle don't you? And you unestimated your father once more. I don't know how you are going to get yourself out of this mess of your own creation. For your information Ginny is going to deny, deny, deny and deny some more. She even has a back up in Luna to help her. You are going to come out of this looking like an arse no matter what you do. Your father is manipulating you just like he did when you were young. And you played right into his hands when you did what you did to Ginny. All he has to do is sit back and enjoy the show. You are in so deep now that I fear you may never find your way out.... Pud

*sobs* That was horribly gut wrenching. *heaving breath* Poor Ginny. I just want to gather her in my arms and tell her everything is going to be okay. Draco at least made a step in the right direction - he tried to explain, but she's not in a place where she's willing to hear what he has to say. He's wronged her badly and it will take a good bit for her to listen to him. Lucius needs to die and die painfully and slowly - I vote for peeling his skin off and rolling him in salt. He just had to go make a very bad situation worse by meddling. Narcissa seems like a woman with a plan, but I think she's underestimated the situation....oh gosh this is just so good! I'm so glad you updated!!!!

It's an awful way for Draco to learn that his actions do have dreadful consequences. The mess he created is almost beyond repair. Narcissa is a strong woman, tossing her husband out and learning that her son is a rapist in the span of the morning and not killing either of them. I suppose she knows how much this is eating at Draco. It must have been difficult for her to see her grown son cry. I have to give kudos to Luna for at least putting up a bit of a fight before being overwhelmed by Blaise and Narcissa. And I have to feel sorry for Ginny, being tagged teamed by Luna, Blaise and Narcissa there at the end...

At least it's a start. Draco can't ask for much more than that. It does have to give him some hope though that she at least read his words and found something there worth trying for. I think she loves him far more than she's willing to admit. I think that Draco will be on his best behavior from here on out because he's learned a very painful lesson in what happens when he gets out of control. Ginny is a brave, brave witch for even trying. *sniffles*

Author's Response: This is the hardest story I've written and considering my meager output, that probably isn't saying much. I think this would be a smutty little sequel to Catching the Snitch but the dark side of Draco seduced me.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love it!!!! You have made me one of the happiest people alive. I'm very sorry to see your wonderful story end, but you ended it on a beautiful, happy note so I can forgive you on that account. I know how long and hard this has been for you, but thank you so very much for finishing. It was perfect!

Author's Response: Thank you so much, your praise means a lot to me. I wondered if I'd have the courage to finally finish this story and finish it in a way that didn't make me cringe. I realized in the end that I loved the Draco I created and couldn't leave him and Ginny hanging in limbo, particularly after I'd turned him from the dark side. Now to indulge my guilty pleasure and keep him on the dark side in Obsession Fulfilled. Ah, the possibilities revealed in HBP.

You already know how much I like this story and I can't wait to see more. Poor Ginny and poor Draco. They are both in very difficult positions and torn by forces greater than either of them. Yet they are linked forever by this tiny life they created. The fall out from this revelation will be interesting.

This is possibly my favorite of your D/G ficlets. I think I like it because I like being in Draco's head - that is so rare. I'm not usually keen on first person, but it works beautifully in this situation. Here he's been having this illicit affair with Ginny and is unable to acknowledge it in any way, shape or form. It's plainly obvious he's in love with her, but due to circumstance he's unable (maybe unwilling) to take the chance by acting on his feelings. Then she goes and turns his whole world upside down at the very end...leaving everything open to possibility. *happy sigh* Perfect.

I'm liking this story more and more. And now that you've thickened the plot, I'm dying here. I want desperately to know who has been undermining Draco's business!! You're good with that cliffie! I don't think it'll be the fun evening in the Malfoy household that Gin imagined when she learns of Draco's news. It'll offset her good news *sigh* Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Getting a review from you just made my day as I totally love your work.......*walking on clouds*

I'm so glad you've posted this here!! It'd been a while since I read this story and once I started, I couldn't stop. I read it straight through. You definitely have a gift for writing and a gift for wonderful D/G storylines! It's brilliant and intriguing and wonderful all together! Welcome to FIA!

That is all Draco has ever needed - a strong woman to keep in line. And Ginny is just that woman. A very pleasing ending to yet another fantastic story!!
