There were so many little details in this chapter that I loved - Narcissa giving Draco a kiss from Thuban (lol), Draco saying he didn't miss being along w/ Ginny's hormones, Thuban kissing her belly like Draco did, and Draco reading all the signs of Ginny's fear during their visits.
I had hoped the stone from the vial would be proof of their bonding; so I'm glad to have that confirmed. The Weasleys seemed a bit softer in this chapter. They seem genuinely affected by the fact that D & G truly love each other (even if they do hope they won't be together).
I'm glad you gave Draco a way to reconcile with his father and a chance to celebrate Christmas with family and friends.
Although I'm certain this story will end well, I'm feeling a little bit anxious about the impending trial. Looking forward to the next chapter. :)

Author's Response: This review is so generous. I love hearing all the parts that stood out to you. :) Thank you so much.

I knew many of you were hoping for the stone to mean what it did. I like that you picked up on the Weasleys in this scene as well. They really aren't bad people, just a but misguided.

The trial takes up a bulk of the last three chapters - can you believe that's all there is left?! But there is also an epilogue!

I love the way this turned out! I'm glad Harry gave in (even if it wasn't quite willingly); and Ron and Hermione came so far in this story. I'm sad that it's over, but looking forward to the epilogue. :)

Author's Response: Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it - even with Harry's reluctant turn in the end. And I am hoping ot get the epilogue posted soon! Thanks so much for all the reviews. :)

What a fun story! It was a light, quick read; and yet your characters and situations had sufficient depth and background. Nicely done. :)

Author's Response: Thank you! I try.

This chapter! It was playful and sexy....I loved it. But that ending was like a punch in the gut. So sad! I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Author's Response: I hope that's... a good punch in the gut? XP I'm glad you enjoyed it so much nonetheless - thanks for reviewing.

Very cute story! :)

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! :D

Exciting chapter! I really love Hermione in this. And Draco and Ginny actually got to do something useful. Keep up the good work. :)

I've just read these first 11 chapters tonight. It's now 1 AM, and I have to wake up at 6 and be a responsible adult. Haha! But I'm LOVING this story, and I'm so happy they finally kissed!!! I guess that's as good a place as any to stop for the night. :) Looking forward to reading more.

I love this! So many warm fuzzies. I even got a bit teary when they were in Diagon Alley. Great chapter. :)

This chapter was really sweet. I loved Ginny taking care of Draco while he was sick, and taking the initiative to start a relationship with Score. And I loved both their reactions to her. They're taking baby steps toward realizing themselves as a family. Yay! I'm hoping that soon Ginny will make good on her promise to introduce Draco to her family. :)

Author's Response: I think Ginny is just a caring person and her taking Score to the game is like iciing on the cake. Baby steps will continue, I don't want to rush anything but I agree they are starting to grow into a unit, all four of them! The promise will be upheld, very soon! I hope you're ready! Thanks a lot for taking the time to review, it means a lot!

Another excellent chapter! There was nothing in this chapter that I didn't like, so if I don't specifically mention something, it doesn't mean it was bad. I just don't want my review to be as long as the chapter! ;) I like the mingling together of silly and serious in this chapter. The texting was sweet and funny. I love how happy Draco and Ginny are with each other. But they aren't in a bubble - real life still happens; and they are helping each other through it. I look forward to reading more as they continue to move towards their happy ending. :)

Author's Response: Please do write me a six thousand word review whenever you wish! ;) Though I lean towards fluffy in my writing they have to have SOME drama and in my view I think real life probably poses the greatest danger to romantic love, to be honest! Unless you're Ginny and Draco who seem to be dealing with it admirably well. Thank you for your kind encouragement!

This is a cute story. I hope you continue to update it. :)

Draco and Ginny are running the gauntlet in this one. Wow! I'm kind of glad they're getting it out of the way though, because that means they can move on to happier times.
I like the balance they present, in that Ginny is so fired up and Draco is so calm. I'm glad you (and Draco) gave Ginny a chance to fly. That was fun. I only wish we would have seen a bit more of the boys' reactions to all this. I wonder if James overheard any of Harry's raging, and how he feels about it, or what Score thinks of Ginny's reaction to her family's treatment. Good chapter though. Can't wait to read more! :)

Author's Response: I do like writing the boys' perspective - maybe too much - so I'm wary about it, don't want to take away too much from D and G! I don't think James heard it, thankfully, and in the new chapter there's a little bit more Harry and James trying to sort things. Hoepfully they can work some things out! Thanks a lot for reviewing, it means a lot, as usual! Keep reading and I hope you will enjoy!

Wow! Just wow. That KISS! Draco and Score's conversation after was hilarious! And James and Ginny's conversation just about broke my heart. I'm so glad they worked through it though, because I actually thought for a few minutes that she was going to call things off with Draco.

Author's Response: More kisses to come!! I wouldn't let just anything pull my faves apart but as a mum I think Ginny had to think of James first. Well done Teddy for fixing :D Thank you for reviewing, it means the world to me!
