Great story, i really like your writing style.

The Girl With the Taxi Driver by Anise    (Reviews - 49)

The war is over, and so is Draco Malfoy's world. He has run as far as he can, and now, as a taxi driver in a world that has no more magic, he has come to the end of the line... or so he thinks. But when he finds the former Ginny Weasley, he learns just how many mysteries remain to be solved... and how much hope can still be found.

Chapter SEVEN quote of the day:

At three in the morning, Draco turns off the sign on top of his cab and pulls into the parking lot of the pancake house. He sees her small figure tucked into a seat in the corner table. It sends a pang of something like fear through him when he gets an inkling of just how happy he is to see her.

Ginny slides into a molded plastic seat. “I’m hungry. Want to split some pancakes?”

She eats ravenously when they arrive, tearing apart the pats of butter in their foil wrapping, ripping the cover off the sealed plastic pouches of syrup. “I shouldn’t have coffee this late. I’ll never get to sleep. I never do before five or six anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter.”

This casual Ginny. Flippant. She does not want him to feel sorry for her. She will not accept his pity. He admires her. He wonders just how many Ginnys there are. He wants to meet them all. That scares him, too.

Ahh, the drama! He is coming to life and may be she will too?

Author's Response: Maybe! :) We'll find out more soon...

Somewhere half way through this chapter i caught my self thinking “may be they just had ostracized from the wizarding society, may be magic still there but just not for them”.. But then i read that there are no Muggles or Wizards so that notion was squashed We just will have to wait for you to tell us what ahs happened and why Ginny is in the better poison by the looks of it then the rest of them?

Author's Response: Thanks! :) I know, this is a mysterious question (as far as who won and why the magic is gone, why wizards ended up in the position they have), but it's kind of the foundation of the whole plotline. I think that the answer will be surprising... but I'm hoping that it makes sense once readers see what it is.

Interesting... What has happened to the magic? Why are they all in the same city? You surely do know how to grab get full attention from your readers:) i am looking forward to next chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks! :) Well, these questions and many more will be answered eventually... and we'll get more and more clues as the chapters go on. More soon.

So was it accidental magic? It sounds that there was something else besides exposure of magical world, feels like dementors.. Only here magic got sucked up along with happiness.

Author's Response: The reason why all the magic disappeared is still a secret... but we will find out eventually. More soon!

So why doesn't she remember? Magic?
I feel like the whole story is dancing the edge and knowing your writing style, we will be there for a while:)) if only you can finish jewel:)) like i did not whine about that enough to drive you crazy:)

Author's Response: Snerk! :) But this won't be one of those infinite-length stories, believe me. There's a very specific plot arc. And I can't believe you remember JotH! (The Happy Dance.) That means a lot. If it'll ever get finished, though... um... I don't know, sometimes I HAVE thought about a shorter fic based on the part that JotH that never got to, which was Ginny in the harem of Istanbul. You never know...

so Harry is dead, but it seems that they have run away and now about to be found? Luna knew were they are, but what about Weasleys? And why after so many years somebody is looking for them? Knowing you it will not have "happy ending", will it?:))
P.S. i am holding you to the promise of Draco's POV on your other fic:))Pretty, please?:)))

Author's Response: Yes, Harry is dead. but they didn't exactly run away. There will be more about this in chapter 6, and as for why someone is after them... I can't say, but again, it will become clear eventually! My fics generally do have a happy ending of sorts. At the very least, everything will come to a satisfactory end. I will write the Draco's POV for Pretend eventually. :)

Well, Draco is loosing her...or rather his hold on her. Is this why he doesn't want her to remember? Besides Harry?

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I don't want to answer the question, haha, but I will say that Draco in this story is not exceptionally dark. He is, however, misguided. Thanks for the review! :)

Why Quidditch Gear Should Be Banned by Boogum    (Reviews - 6)

It was a truth universally acknowledged that Draco Malfoy was an arrogant tosspot who deserved to be pecked to death by magically modified penguins. It was also true that said tosspot happened to be extremely handsome, and looked far too good in his Quidditch gear for someone so prejudiced and unlikeable. Not that Ginny noticed.

If Your Hands Were In Mine by Anise    (Reviews - 21)

Ginny hasn’t seen Draco since the last time they met in a moonlit corridor after the last battle at Hogwarts. So why is he following her around the Ministry of Magic five years later, desperately trying to warn her about unseen dangers? And why does she still feel that same old disturbing attraction to him?

Chapter FOUR quote of the day:

“Get out of here, Malfoy,” she hissed at him.

He shook his head.

“I’m working on my public art project. Out.

“No,” he said, not moving a muscle.

“Fine,” she sighed, walking over to him. “Why don’t you just tell me what you want, then? Let’s get this over with.”
