You are an amazing writer. This story walked the line between creepy and enchanting.

I think I read this once before. I shamefully admit to skimming through for the romantic parts. *sigh* great job

Ginny needs to get a clue. What is her problem????? Either she wants to marry him or she doens't. She isn't twelve years old.

Author's Response:
Aww, some people only see the world in black and white.

See, I used to think that it didn\'t matter how someone I wanted to ask me to marry him did, in fact, ask. Now, with an older set of goggles on, I do understand that all secrets are held within intent and how the action unfolds.

Some may think Ginny to be pompous and indecisive. To me, she is just waiting for the right moment with someone who doesn\'t understand that waiting for the right moment (and the right set of circumstances) is key.

Ginny wants what Ginny wants. It isn\'t necessarily as concrete an idea as it could be at this point, but, regardless, she can still identify what she doesn\'t want.

The most perfect human being (or fanfiction character) can be found guilty of staying in a situation that is oh-so-glorious for a moment, but, come the light of day, isn\'t nearly as iridescent(sp?) as one remembered it to be. People (and, once again, fanfiction characters) may find that situations are doomed to repeat themselves if they don\'t stick to what they know is right. Perhaps she should have quit shagging Draco long ago and put some distance between then, but she didn\'t. Perhaps it was easier to ignore the void that she had within herself while idling her time away with Draco. Maybe she\'s sitting somewhere waiting for something to happen, but just doesn\'t like the outcome of the sitting. Maybe she\'s too weak to deny Draco anything he wants, but hates herself for it. Maybe her moodines, brashness and immaturity come from these places.

It\'s nice for people to wax poetic about how she should act like an adult, but, as I\'ve become an adult, I\'ve realized how many people who are technically adults don\'t act like adults. Decisions should be black and white, but what people don\'t consider is the opportunity cost (if anyone is unfamiliar with this term, it is a basic economic priciple stating that for every one thing you do, you sacrifice being able to do another) of such actions.

Anyhoo, some of that wasn\'t directly related to your review, but I wanted to get it down in case I wanted to post it with the next chapter as an author\'s note. *steps off soap box*

Alright, I'm finding Ginny a bit irritating. Draco wants to marry her. If she did what was best for the children it would work out. Her independent streak is ticking me off. Maybe that is because I wish I didn't have to go to work every day. Oh well. I still love your story. Update soon.

Author's Response:
Hey, all of us wish we didn\'t have to go to work everyday. LOL! This is all based off of a series of particularly difficult situations that I went through last summer. The irresponsible parents aren\'t based on me, but a couple sets of friends -- one imparticular.

Thank you so much for the review. The last chapter goes up on Sunday!

I feel compelled to say something like, "You go girl!" But I am over thirty and I really can't pull something like that off. So how about I just congratulate you on saying something that needed to be said. I think every reader should go with that old adage, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Great story. I love a Ginny who does whatever she wants.

This story made me laugh out loud. The bantering between Blaise and Draco is great. Excellant story.

I just read this straight through. I love your story. I love that Draco is a mean snarky git who can still be in love. I just love your story. It was wonderful.

That was so cute. I loved it.

This is so simple, but it is so good.

Yippee! I love a happy ending. Goody story. Good job.

Oh, that was sweet. I like the description of the kiss.
