All Ginny wants is to get the upper hand just once with drool-worthy hunk of man candy and callous playboy Draco Malfoy before he moves on to his next careless conquest. So how did this simple plan lead to time travel, nefarious plots involving the most infamous whorehouse in the wizarding world, and the teenaged Draco’s achingly sweet, chocolate-flavored kisses? Even Draco Malfoy was innocent once, as Ginny learns all too well…Category: Long and Completed
Chapter ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN Quote of the Day:
THE LAST CHAPTER
The minutes ticked by, long enough for Ginny to know that against all reason, all common sense, she still wanted impossible things from him. But she would leave. Even after today, even when her body ached from him and for him, when she could feel that he had begun to shape her to him, she would turn around and leave him. I will, I will, she thought.
“You don’t understand,” said Draco.
“Oh?” Ginny said stiffly. “At least he hadn’t touched her, she thought. She would not be able to find the strength to pull herself away from him, and she knew it.
YOUR Gryffindor? Theo has some shady claim on Ginny? And the plot thickens yet again. I'm eager to see what part Theo plays in this besides the lovestruck patsy. I'm still wondering who, if anyone, Astoria truly loves (besides Astoria, of course).
I'm once again in awe of your surreality.
Author's Response: Thanks! (Does Happy Surreality Dance.) Well, Theo's claim exists in... Theo's head. But in his opinion, it's a valid claim nonetheless. Agatha Christie once wrote of a character in one of her books (*Evil Under the Sun*) that she was a perfect murder victim. Ginny isn't a victim, but because of her experiences, she's ended up as a good example of a person who others tend to transfer their obsessions to, whether good or bad. In my experience, very dissociative people are likely to have this quality. (The major question with Draco is whether he feels more for her, and especially whether he'll make the choice to follow his better self in that direction.) So I think that's where Theo is going. And Astoria! Oh yes, she does love someone, all right, and it definitely isn't Draco. We'll learn more about that, in time... ;)
Do you love how we're all "Hell yes, circumvent those vows!" and hardly anyone cares about "Prudence" (except Draco, of course, but you know how I feel about HIM)? I think things will get much more awkward before they get better.
Author's Response: Well, Prudence is not quite what she's seemed to be (which I think you may have figured out.) We (and Ginny) will find out exactly what her relationship with Draco has been in the next chapter... and the answer to a LOT of other mysteries!
Draco is after Ginny and doesn’t care who knows it. As far as Ginny knows, it's just another game.Category: Completed Short Stories
This was so cute! The whole teetering-on-seriousness thing Draco had going on throughout was really effective I could see the vulnerability behind the facade. And the negotiations in the hallway...so much tension...*fans self*. And that bittersweet, uncertain ending!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! It's always nice to know that the undertones come across. I'm so glad you liked it.
