Well I have to review now. I'm reading this on October 15th, the day of Dravo and Ginny's wedding according to the invitation and it's my wedding anniversary as well. :) What a story to welcome it with. I read this fic straight through and I have to admit, I love love love everything about it. Happy sigh for a happy ending.

This fic is so cute. I'm prettys sure I read it every few months or so. I love that draco is alive. I was so crushed the first time I read it... oh say 8 years ago :)

So I didnt read this fic. I skipped right to the last two chapters because whenever I see character death, i have to check and make sure it won't be Ginny or Draco before I can actually read the story. The last two chapters of this were not only amazing but review-inspiring. I can not wait to read the entire fic and review review review. Fantastic chapter.

Well I really enjoyed this chapter especially Ginny 's outburst and her transition into an adul. I think this chapter made it really easy to relate to her and her love for Draco. The only thing I didn't quite enjoy what that you didn't make much transition between their hatred on earlier chapters and their love in this chapter. Other than that their love is brilliant. I adore their declaration. Loved it!

I really enjoyed this fic. I recognize that it's old but its my first time reading it as I usually do not read the lower rating (non-naughty) fics *sheepish face* but I have to say this was surprisingly beautiful to me. This felt like a light airy version of Sanctuary to me. A lot of the themes translated through. I love that this one moment was all that Ginny and Draco needed.

Author's Response: Thanks! Don't worry about not reading it when I first posted. Most of what I write is higher rated, so it's always a surprise when I write something that isn't. lol. There are a lot of these same themes of secrecy and pain and forgiveness just because of where they are in canon. Their families are diametrically opposed to each other, and there's all this unexplored back story that JKR never touches on despite a lot of tantalizing throwaway lines. I like exploring those gray areas, so I tend to revisit these themes a lot. :) I'm glad you liked this story!

“Where does it hurt?” -The only dialogue in "pain" and it was perfect.

Author's Response: There were actually two more lines of dialogue, but this one definitely had the most impact. I thank you. n_n

Iam head over heels for this story. I read what is already posted on ff. Its absolutely beautiful. I love your characterization of both Draco and Ginny. I have just been putting off reviewing in the hopes that fia updates would catch up ff but I just could not wait. This chapter is my absolute favorite. Draco is just so stinking cute in his persistance that Ginny stays the night.

Author's Response: Wow! Thank you so much! I'm glad that you are really enjoying this fic. And this chapter gave me a headache to write, so it's nice to hear that you love it. As for FF, I am not going to update there until we are caught up here at FIA. That was my plan from the beginning, but I was just so excited to get some feedback that I kept posting there. I'm so glad you finally reviewed, I look forward to some more. :)

I usually don't review most fic *sheepish face* but I just had to review for this one. This chapter is so beautiful. I love Ginny and Draco's very much disturbed relationship. I love that when Draco breaks down, Ginny responds in kind instead of being the utter callous girl that I was expecting her to be. Her comforting him is a much needed additive to that scene. Love love love this chapter. PS Snape, precious!

Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing my story. It means a lot as Draco and Ginny are different from how I have ever written them before. Also, I adore Snape! He disappears for awhile in the next few chapters, but I promise he will be back at the end!!!

I love this take on the events of the night in the astronomy tower. Draco and his attachment to ginny are adorable!

Author's Response: Hehe, d'aw. Ginny's a very big influence on Draco's life -- she was the one that saw the goodness in him when everyone else refused to. So you know how crushing it was to have her betray him like this. I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

I'm impressed. This is as promised a more realistic version of the marriage law fic. I think it's because your fic gives a lot more background information about the opposition to the law while most people are interested in merely jumping into the dg of it all. This is an interesting starting and I think the appearance of malfoy and the rationale of theo was a great touch. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: Ah, thank you so much! I'm really trying to give the concept some substance here, as well as trying to keep the characters relatively in character, so I'm so glad you think so.

Thank you for your review!

Yikes that Ginny is rash in this fic. She acts seemingly without thinking at all. I think she is like the Ginny I have come to expect in cannon but with much more development. In this one chapter alone I saw more of Ginny's mind, heart and motivations than I saw in all of cannon.

But the real gem in this fic is Draco. I love that your Draco while probably not evil in the end is not nice. He acts exactly like the rich, son of a death eater brat that we should expect but never get lately in dg. He is always so soft and yielding when it comes to Ginny and I love that he is harsh and pretty terrible so far. It feels a little more true to the story. Maybe he will grow to love her but it certainly wasn't "wow that Weasley girl's hot. Gotta have her" cliche. I can't wait to see what else you have completed.

Author's Response: Thank you so, so much! It's hard to write a fic that takes place so far off canon and keep the characters true to their nature, and I do try to make Draco as spoiled and mean as possible. I'm so glad you think Ginny is developed. It's how I picture what's going through her head and to me she's quite out there and grating. Sixteen is a rough age, after all. I really appreciate the review!

Oh I loved this. Ginny also as a professor was a welcomed and pleasant surprise. Great fic.

There was just so much to love in this chapter. I was wondering when Ginny would have a panic attack. There's no way she could be moseying through life looking at real Draco's face without ever thinking of flint. My favorite line from this chapter though was "It occurred to her then that he hadn’t stopped touching her since she had approached him in her flat, and the realization did something funny to her stomach." I love that Draco is so tactile with Ginny. After being starved of interactions and love for so long he finally has a person (besides Luna) and he is literally holding on to her. Draco is the absolute cutest. I can't wait to see where this chapter will pick up. Crossing my fingers your schooling goes well so you can get back to writing.

Author's Response: Yay, I'm glad that you loved it. :D I really appreciate how you tell me your favourite lines; it's neat to see what people appreciate in that jumble of words. ;p And thank you for your well-wishes! Though school is actually what's making me write (it's like my pressure valve) so here's to my being on school forever! ... Or just for a few more years...
