This story really is... wow. All of your fics are really elegant, but I think this may be my favorite. I love how the story unfolds slowly as Scorpius discovers the extent of his fixation with Ginny, and I love how you weave it into Draco and Ginny’s tangled relationship. I thought it was really interesting that Marie made an appearance—looks like Ginny is a bigger part of Scorpius than he even suspected. My favorite line in Chapter 4 is Draco’s voice in Scorpius’ head: “She’s mine, mine, mine, do you hear me, Scorpius Malfoy? Do you hear me, my son, my thieving son, attempting to steal the one possession that means anything to me in this world?” It’s so very Draco, and I think it grasps the essence of this triangle well. It does make me wonder about what this will do to Draco and Scorpius’ relationship, though—I mean, it’s already strained, and I feel like Scorpius’ obsession with Ginny will cause an irrevocable schism between father and son. I can’t imagine Draco forgiving Scorpius for this. Also, I’m curious about how Ginny will respond to an adult Scorpius—especially since he’s so alike and yet so different from Draco. In fact, he seems like an almost gentled version of Draco—Draco without all the cutting edges.

Truly told, I thought you were going to wait until Draco died before tying Scorpius and Ginny together, so I’m really eager to see where you take this story!

Author's Response: Thanks! :) This just seems like an unfolding-slowly type of fic to me-- Scorpius isn't the pouncing type, which is one of the qualities that does make him so different from Draco. And yes, that's one of the big questions: what will happen to the relationships that Scorpius has with so many characters because of his Ginny-fixation? Not only with Draco, but with Albus, James, and Rose. Anyway, more soon!
