Loved it, and the screaming comes from his youngest child?:)

Author's Response: Yay and yes. Though if he recognises it as a baby crying I don't know!

Poor Draco, resistance is futile:)

Author's Response: Oh, you know it. He won't be able to resist the triple combo that is Evie, Liam and Ginny. Though he might fuss a bit he will give in - mohahaha

Oh man! At least he is making an effort now to cover for this reality Draco. More?:)

Author's Response: He is! And quite frankly I think he's a little scared of Ginny, haha. Fixing more, sorry to keep you waiting!

Nice...feels like calm before the storm? Are you luring us into false sence of security?:)

Nice move Draco! I hope that time he will have to put in this will be manageable, it would be a great shame if he looses his family for the second time.

Author's Response: He's stepping it up - a bit! We'll see if he realizes what's really important in time... Thanks so much for taking the time to review, it always brightens my day :)

Very sad, but at least they are back together. It was nicely done but of course one want to know more, or if we don’t know more we can imagine what has happened and why they have lost the baby…

What Ginny Forgot by noeycat07    (Reviews - 67)

“After one too many hits to the head from a Bludger, you’ve forgotten the past ten years,” Malfoy said slowly, staring at her as if she were dumb. “You’ve forgotten you have kids and you’ve forgotten me. Your husband. Which is rather rude, you must admit.”

I Would Never by Sw33tCh3rryPi3    (Reviews - 18)

Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy are just friends. Frenemies, really. Honestly, they are. Ask anyone—especially them. And there are some lines you just don’t cross with your best frien—frenemy. And so they won’t. Really they won’t. They are happy to tell each other how much they won’t…

I never thought of her that way, more in the sense of someone growing up with lots of brothers and no sisters. Molly is not that far removed from the pureblooded society, and she is not too distant relation of Blacks and others. But limited funds don't mean to me that she would not be taught manners to some degree. Most certainly to a higher degree than Ron would, as more would be expected from a girl in that sense. So no shoes taking, I would think, but more Elizabeth Bennett vs Darcy in terms of behavioural differences in my view:)

Author's Response: I don't write from supposition. I write book Ginny, the girl who wants to live as much as possible without caring what anyone outside her intimate circle thinks of her. :)

Awww, silly Draco and even more silly Ginny! And the old cats in the loo, really? I would imagine that Ginny is a great catch, especially after the war!

Author's Response: Sometimes what makes a great catch in one circle doesn't really apply to another, though. For all that I love Ginny, she probably wouldn't hesitate to kick her shoes off in a ballroom if her feet started to hurt, you know? That doesn't exactly fly with the snooty toots. lol xx
