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.”

Hextube?:)) I wonder if Draco developed that one!

Author's Response: Hmm. Well, that could have been his postwar career. ;) More soon.

The Universal Constant by gidge_8    (Reviews - 49)

i loved that line:“I'm free to see whoever I please.” :)) go Ron!

Author's Response: LOL - a little snitty for Ron. I think his best mate was a bad influence on him. :D Thanks! :)

I was hoping for a bit of courting and playing between Ginny and Draco but you have tidied up all the loose ends very nicely:)

Author's Response: I agree that I would have liked to do more banter, but it just didn't seem to fit. You did catch me on ending it a bit quick, but whatever I tried to write to extend the courtship only seemed to make the story drag along in a mundane and boring way. Ultimately, I had to go with what the story really wanted. Thanks for letting me know, and I hope you liked the ending at least a bit. Thank you for reading! And thank you so much for reviewing! :)

Nice one , covers why they "got together", and it does make sense:))

Author's Response: Thank you! I do try to figure out my universe so that it is logical. Thanks so much!
Best wishes!

Date: Feb 02, 2014 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - Where

I loved the "Parkinson scene", she is a bit of a cow, isn't she? And why does she have to come over to make a scene, she must be not too bright either:) I do hope we see some of the "Lord Malfoy" side coming out, especially when he is dealing with her.

Author's Response: I dearly loved writing a drunken Draco. He was so fun. As for Parkinson - no, she's not bright, though she thinks she is. She won't be back, but I'm so glad you enjoyed the scene!
Best wishes!

I did hope that she would stay, but may be next time?:) The shirt was a nice touch, an excuse may be to see him again?

Author's Response: Oh, our Ginny can't possibly allow things to go that smoothly. :) Although, I do think she subconsciously nicked the shirt because she had an itty-bitty crush. :)

All Work and No Play by idreamofdraco    (Reviews - 21)

Ginny Weasley jumps from job to job, never able to hold one down. When she comes into a bit of a windfall, her friends and family try to convince her to be practical, but Ginny needs to get away. A chance encounter with Draco Malfoy in Italy teaches her that the only person she needs to rely on is herself. EWE.

Written for Interhouse Fest 2013.

Made me sad and hopeful at the same time...I do hope they end uP together .

Author's Response: I do too, and with their maturity and honesty with each other, I'm optimistic that this Draco and Ginny could make it. Thus I'm tempted to write a follow-up to explore their ensuing journey - if anything, the reveal scene for the Weasleys could be great fun. XD Thanks for the R&R!

Same Time, Same Place by cherryredxx    (Reviews - 12)

"I'm an intern for the Minister," she said indignantly, crossing her arms over her chest and tapping her foot like a petulant child. "Why are you here?"

"I'm also an intern for the Minister," he snapped.

Of Sun Breaks and Salacious Delights by Anise    (Reviews - 145)

+++

Ginny fled the wizarding world when betrayal, deception, and heartbreak tore apart her life. A year later, she lives and works as a Muggle-- and the co-owner of Athena's Saucy Shoppe of Salacious Delights. But she's about to learn that it isn't so easy to leave the past behind... especially when it comes packaged in the person of Draco Malfoy.

Chapter TWENTY Quote of the Day:

Ginny tried again, deciding that it was time for her glowering blond companion to help her out whether he wanted to not.

“It’s so great to catch up with old friends, Draco. Don’t you think?” She jabbed Draco lightly in the ribs under cover of darkness.

Draco clamped his hand around her waist like a band of iron. Oh, no, Ginny thought despairingly. This was not going well.

"She's mine alone,” said Draco.

"But she's got other customers, right?" asked Theo.

"She is not to be shared,” said Draco. “I… ah… don't share my toys. You ought to remember that, Nott.”

"But if she's no more than a toy, then it shouldn't matter." Nott's expression was turning crafty. Suddenly, Ginny had a very, very bad feeling about what might happen next.

“Seems as if you shouldn’t mind sharing Ginny with me, don’t you think, Malfoy? After all we’ve been through together? You know what I mean, don’t you?”

Wow, things are heating up! I wonder if all this blackmail by Nott is just a way to get Ginny to sleep with him?

Author's Response: Things are! ;) it's kind of just going to keep escalating from now on... and I'm not going to give anything away... but you have some good ideas ..

Reviewer: Marinka Signed
Date: Sep 17, 2014 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8

And the plot thickens ... Can they just stun him and pump him with some Veritaserum?

Author's Response: Actually, no, they can't. The reason is that Draco has been stuck with Theo for a couple of days by now and has figured out that he has a LOT to hide. Because of that, Draco knows that Theo probably took extra precautions against the truth getting out, including some pre-emptive spells to counter the effects of Veritaserum. Draco and Ginny really have to catch him with his pants down... so to speak. ;)

One very interesting question might be: why didn't Theo care whether or not Ginny caught on to his plans when he first met her?

Hi Anise, the notification did work and i was able to get to the site, where if i just type in the web address i don't seems to be able to get on:)

Author's Response: Thanks for letting me know! I talked to Lyndsie, and I think the issue we're having is that some IP's aren't always able to get through. I have the same problem with one of my laptops. But I'm glad you were able to get to the site. :)

Slytherin Squad by HalfBloodDragon    (Reviews - 156)

As the unintended Captain of the most despised Auror squad, can Draco Malfoy lead his band of Slytherins through Death Eater attacks and threats from the Ministry? Definitely not. At least, not without the help of his reluctant Lieutenant: Ginny Weasley. Inconveniently, the last person he'd ever ask.

Author's Response: Luna is absolutely still her friend, although this story has so many characters that Luna doesn't show up for quite a few chapters yet. Unfortunately it's little more than a cameo when she does. I love Luna, so I was sad I couldn't find a bigger role for her.
