She had won. She had finally won. She was sure of it. He would not be pleased. And this thought made her smile.Category: Completed Short Stories
"“Oh, I’m not wearing my last pair, Draco, I assure you. They are all alone in the drawer you cleaned out.” She batted her eyelashes at him, waiting for the implications of her statement to sink in."
I can just picture Draco's smug smirk fade here. I just love playin'dirty!Ginny 'n' Draco.
Draco: 1, Ginny: 2.
Wonder what he's gonna get her back with... ;)
Seven Days. Seven Stages. Will there be something left when he’s done?Category: Completed Short Stories
Aw, I'm so glad they mended things in the end. Hopefully their friends can help him get over his 'asshatery' so it won't happen again. ('asshatery'... wha? o_0' )
Anyway, very nice little fic.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I love the word asshatery. *giggles*
Draco receives something he never knew he wanted.Category: Completed Short Stories
I love how you have them communicating with nary a word between them. A very well done fic.
I long to speak the truest words I have to you... (in which I exploit Rabindranath Tagore's song, The Gardener, 41)Category: Completed Short Stories
"He - the heartless Death Eater, the ruthless Slytherin - loves her. And she, the sweet Gryffindor with her heart on her sleeve (who always says the right thing, and does the right thing, and wears the right thing, and touches the right thing…), isn’t reciprocating the feeling... He’s not going to turn his back on her because he half expects her to really stab a knife in his back as soon as he does it." Heartwrenching.
This whole fic is stunning. Not only is it so descriptive, you can just feel yourself in pain right along with him. Yeah, I hope you do write that sequel please, it would be good to see what Ginny's feelings are. A very moving fic, and well done.
Valentine's Day brings a surprise, but not the one Ginny was hoping for.Category: Works in Progress
Well, that was certainly despicable. Still...
"“And?”
“And what?” Draco had no intention of sharing details about his encounters with Ginny. What had happened between them was...personal.
“If you aren’t going to share any details maybe I’ll find out about the fiery-tempered Miss Weasley myself.”
“No.” The word slipped from Draco’s lips automatically."
...there might be something there. However, if he doesn't try to get her back BEFORE he finds out she's pregnant, then I may have lost any hope or sympathy I had for him. Because once that's put out there, there's no way of knowing if he's choosing to be with her for her at all.
I'm going to look forward to reading the next chapter because you have written a creative plot with true-to-circumstance characters. Very great.
But am I being foolish to hope that he'll be even the teensiest bit remorseful in the next chapter? *whimpers*
Selling herself into a marriage contract, Ginny finds herself playing a deadly game, ultimately pitting her husband against her lover and a father against his son. Many twists and turns, depth and evil characters - and a long story of sweet and true love.Category: Long and CompletedNew! Epilogue is up! Yes, I know, the story has been "complete" for a couple of years, but this ending has been partially written for a long time and it ties up some loose ends.
At first I avoided reading this because usually anything that pairs Lucius with someone in the next generation kinda squicks me. (Thanks for making those parts brief, BTW.) However, my curiosity got the better of me and now I'm excited with this one.
I'm finding I love your Bella here - she's just so gleefully devious and unstable. I'm so relieved that neither Draco, Teddy or his father were harmed; when I was reading, I just KNEW something bad was about to happen to them. Can't wait to see what end you have in store for Lucius...mwahaha! Please update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for giving the story a chance! I figured I'd lose some potential readers with that pairing but the typical marriage fic seemed so well-used that I felt compelled to do something a bit more original. Bella was a joy to write and I'm so glad you enjoyed her. Lucius is a bit more difficult because his form of madness isn't quite as clear as Bella's.
I've got the next chapter back from my beta, but finding the time is a bit difficult.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback.
Best wishes!

Convicted and incarcerated after the war, Draco is unexpectedly given a new lease on life.Category: Works in Progress
Wow, I'm really drawn in to how well crafted and realistic this story is. The dialogue is sharp and the surroundings are so well described that I feel I'm there. I know you may have said that your muse is out, but I hope you get it back someday (please don't let it be dead...*cries*). This is a fantastic story and I would LOVE to see it continued someday!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind comments! The muse has definitely gone on extended holiday, but I'm hoping I'll get back into the groove of this story again soon. :)
A chubby Draco and the physical trainer from hell. What more can I say? A D/G twist on dieting and an ending sweeter than candy floss. Enjoy. :)Category: Long and Completed
Ooh, yay, you're updating! Well, this is a pretty unique idea, and the possiblites for humiliation and amusement are as numerous as the amount of calories in Draco's most decadent little goodies. ;-D I'm lovin' this sweet and funny fic, and looking forward to the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I actually have very funny scenes that I wrote and cant use because I took the story in a different direction. the original idea was a bit more adversarial. Thanks sooo very much for your feedback.
Hugs!

“Let go!” I wail, pulling back from him with a frustrated cry. “I’ve got detention with Carrow and I can’t be late! Please just let go of me!”Category: Long and CompletedHe immediately releases me, his expression suddenly darkening. “Oh.” It’s all he can say. We both know what those detentions really are.
Ginny Weasley’s sixth year at Hogwarts is not at all what she expected. Harry’s gone to do something dangerous again, Death Eaters are teachers, and the cruciatus curse is a favorite punishment for misbehaving students… and blood-traitors. Dark but humorous, riddled with both angst and fluff, the events of Deathly Hallows told from Ginny’s point of view without the epilogue.
Written for jessicakmalfoy. Winner of Best Overall of the 2009 D/G Fic Exchange and Best Portrayal of Ginny Weasley. Nominated for Best Portrayal of Draco Malfoy and Best Kiss.
Endless thanks for the beta-ing to Jaden Malfoy.
Wow, this story was amazing. Loads of suspense, action, and squee-worthy romance. In a situation like this one, their personalities were spot-on and very relatable. Thanks for this awesome fic, I loved it!
Author's Response: You're so welcome! Glad to see you enjoyed it so much!
Ginny is one of the few surviving Weasleys after the War. With little money to her name, she has been working a low end job at a nearby restaurant to pay for her Healer training. It's been a long four years, but she has finally made it and earned her license. Problem is: there's only one position available, and the very idea of it is appalling. Slightly AU.Category: Long and Completed
Argh! They're both being really pigheaded about this. Maybe if they actually listened to each other it wouldn't be a stalemate. It seemed as if Draco wanted to talk with Ginny, but she was too intent on hiding and ignoring him (which, like someone here has said before, is not very professional or considerate of his medical condition). Hopefully soon they can get past their pride to salvage what they had.
Overall it's well written and easy to get into (unlike D & G's camaraderie at this point, lol). Love it and hope to see what's next.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm posting the next chapter now, so it'll be up soon!
SQUEEEEEE!! Oh, that was wonderful! Well, I felt maybe the proposal came a little too soon, but it was worth it. Sooo amazing and heartlifting. And as much as Draco says he doesn't do "cutesy, sweet moments", he does them rather well, doesn't he. ;-}
I'm eagerly awaiting the epilogue now!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Yeah, the proposal was a little bit fast, but now matter how I tried to put it off and prolong it, Draco kept trying to propose anyway. He's an impatient fellow, you know. ;)
"Fred and George laughed at him, and then Hermione confiscated his wand for the rest of the day, giving him and angry look as she fixed the twins’ heads the right way around." Teehee, I think they deserved that, for stuff like this:
"Fred suddenly leaned in. “If it came down to it, who would you choose to save? Ginny or your baby?”"
*Gasps indignantly* What kind of question is that for brothers/uncles to ask? ;-P
"Leaning close over the bed, he whispered, “I love you both so much. My little family.”"
*Sighs dreamily* Draco was just darling and this chapter is glowing with love; not too saccharine, just beautiful. I'm very grateful you brought it to this conclusion.
Good luck with any future writings you do and if they come out any as good as this one, they'll be dynamite. This was a truly lovely fic, I just adored it. Thank you so much for this fic, and for mentioning me at the end!
Author's Response: Thank you and you're welcome! I'm so glad you liked it! I do have several other fanfics in the works, but I'm going to take a bit of a break from posting to focus on my novel. I'll try not to stay away too long before starting another story, though, since I'm very excited about some of the ones I'm working on.
Ginny finally has everything she's ever wanted. The boy of her dreams, top grades, and a way to finally break into the Golden Trio. When perfection turns out to be less than perfect she finds herself seeking solace in another journal. When this journal writes back, she is understandably worried—until she discovers the person writing back is a fellow student. A fellow student who refuses to divulge his identity. Does she want to know who this mystery person is? Or has she already revealed too much of herself?Category: Works in Progress
*Gapes* Oh God. Poor Gin.
Well, poor Draco too, but, he knew about the betrothal the whole time and didn't tell her, did he.
I wouldn't lynch you because you made such a dynamic, well writen story, but can I lynch Harry and Draco?
I'll take a peek at your epilogue when it comes, but I can already tell that it won't end happily for our favorite couple. I just hope D and H get their comeuppance. I'm with you, bluelover, can I join you in your D&Gforever!bubble?
Well, sorry I got carried away there. It's been a great story so far and pretty realistic in circumstances I suppose. I liked it, it's just sad.
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.Category: Works in ProgressChapter 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.
Oooh... *Shivers* It sounds like Draco's into something with the DE's. Very mysterious entrance you've got here... I'm intrigued.
I love how Ginny just pounces first, questions later, and then: “Are you robbing the place?” Yeah, that would be something he would say, even after she hints that she works there.
I'm definitely drawn in and looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: I know you left this review a while ago, but I just wanted to say thanks!
Business is booming at the Hogsmeade branch of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. However, with the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures investigating WWW's Pygmy Puff breeding program, can the store hope to stay in business?Category: Completed Short Stories
I saw this on the LJ too and I'm glad you brought it over here.
"One spunky, scarlet colored Pufflet pounced on the tape. It squeaked, almost violently, as it bobbled its body, attempting to do in the intruder's tape."
OMG, I love your Pygmy Puffs...I was just imagining them as the cutest things ever. Loved the nicknames too (Connery, wonderland), and the last lines: *Le sigh*.
A very puffy--er, fluffy, little fic... I truly enjoyed it!
