Draco will be a good teacher, I am sure he will enjoy the role:))

Author's Response: I'm sure he will. And since Ginny is no saint I'm sure she'll be a very...enthusiastic student. A great time will be had by all. Thanks for reviewing.

(A compilation of one-shots.)

I really, really want Draco to choose her, or for something (like Ginny finding out that she is pregnant) to happen so he is swayed her way. Or Lucius released but can't use magic.. some compromise. And i know Ginny doesn't want to compromise but somebody from outside may make them see that it is possible? I love it otherwise, and i think this one would be great as a chaptered story:)

Author's Response: Lots of possibilities for how this could play out. I could see the pregnancy one being one hell of a complication. Thanks for the story ideas! You might have just sent a plot bunny running. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

it does come across as believable set-up, i would love thisone as chaptered story as well:) The usual scenarion is Draco loves Ginny, and she is resisting. This could be both of them are resisting the fate:)

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I've always wanted to try my hand at writing a forced DG marriage story, but there are a lot of those stories written already, so I would have to find some angle that hasn't really been done before so as not to bore myself or the reader.

Reviewer: Marinka Signed
Date: Oct 19, 2012 Title: Chapter 5: Disaster

I like all of them but Caught would be my preferred option for chaptered story.

Author's Response: Thanks for letting me know!

i loved the start of your story, i hope you are planning to write more? I always wondered what would happen if Draco and Ginny did not go to same school and how would this influence them?

Red Ember by aerileigh    (Reviews - 7)

When Ginny is captured and held at Malfoy Manor, she discovers that that family's plans are far more cunning and ambitious than anyone, even Lord Voldemort, ever guessed—and they've decided she's a rather convenient pawn.

Haircut by Boogum    (Reviews - 12)

"Weasley," he said in a voice dripping with mockery, "what have you done to your hair?"

Ginny groaned and released the red strands, raising her face just enough to glower at him. "What do you think, you idiot?"

"I don't know," he responded, and his lips curved into a smirk. "I can't profess to comprehend the minds of plebeians such as yourself; for all I know you might think that travesty you call a hairstyle is actually fashionable. I mean, you dated Potter. That says it all."

The Disappearance by Anise    (Reviews - 80)

The Very End.

Epilogue Quote of the Day:

He struggled to prop himself up on an elbow. “Lovegood—Luna-- do you remember being… I really don't have the least idea how to explain this… somewhere else?”

“Somewhere that looked like King’s Cross Station?” asked Luna.

“Yes!” Draco tried to sit up all the way and failed, flopping back down onto the bed.

A thoughtful look came over her face. “I think that I do, but I don’t believe that anyone else does. Maybe it’s better that way.”

“Probably. Look, uh… where’s Ginny?”

“She’s not ready to see you just yet,” said Luna. ”Here’s a napkin.”

“I don’t care about a napkin! Where’s Ginny?”

You have updated so soon:)) soooo exciting! So the plot thickens even further, i wonder for how long Ginny knew about ppl missing?

Author's Response: Ginny started to figure it out before Draco did. (He started realizing it was happening right after he first saw her, remember.)But it wasn't long before that-- just a couple of days, I would say.

Reviewer: Marinka Signed
Date: Nov 05, 2012 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Well, what can i say.. only you can twist and untwist at the same time:) I love this ending, personally i like angst but! together ( and may be not too fluffy happy) but together nevertheless. May be you can finish Jewel if Train is too dark?:)

Author's Response: Thanks! :) Actually, I took a couple of days off from DT, and I think I see how it needs to work now. So it's going forward! But it's weird... I can't believe anybody still remembers JotH. Someday, I guess I WILL have to finish it.But it'll need such a reboot... it'll probably pick up a lot closer to the actual harem. ;)

Well done :)) i hope you can finish it soon, i still hope that our couple will be together, but need to know for sure *feels faint trying to join the dots*

Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, there's much more in the epilogue, and I will NOT make people wait until December to read it. ;)

Aaah, this not clear at all.. I hope Draco behaves for Ginny's sake.

Author's Response: Oh, you'll see (cackles evil-ly, thinking of Chapter 10)

Reviewer: Marinka Signed

Harry..i wonder how Ginny almost know what will happen...it is like Harry dies in DH and then comes back.. Only he did see family and friends that have died, and DG see ppl that they are connected with. All have been so far Ginny's friends, so it must be her dream...

Author's Response: Some very good thoughts there. We'll find out soon exactly what the truth is!

Reviewer: Marinka Signed
Date: Oct 19, 2012 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6

So Draco and Ginny have history together, or is me reading into it? I have a theory that this is a time whirlpool and Luna and others have been sucked into it, and moved to parallel universe.

Author's Response: I don't think it's exactly that they have a history *together.* But he thought about her at Hogwarts much more than he would ever admit at this point in the story. She's been taking up space in his head for a long time. More soon... :)

Reviewer: Marinka Signed
Date: Oct 14, 2012 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Hmm, somehow i don't think Luna is telling the whole truth... By the way, is this story related to any of your other universes?

Author's Response: Mmm... not really (related to the other ones, I mean.) Except that all of my Dracos and Ginnys (Ginnies?) are versions of each other.

it is getting more mysterious... I wonder why Ginny and Draco still there? with all the disappearances around them..

Political Animals by Aquinnah    (Reviews - 62)

Working for the Department of Mysteries teaches Draco Malfoy many things: Play the man. Everyone lies. Collateral damage is inevitable. But when he's the man being played and Ginny Weasley becomes collateral damage - well, you know what they say. All's fair in love, war, and hard and dirty politics.

This is very intriguing start, what was she doing in Cairo, i wonder?

Author's Response: Danke! I think I had just watched Cairo Time (such a sexy movie btw, must watch!) so I picked Cairo. :p that is the science behind ficling. lol.

Thank you for the quick update! I am curiuos, why Pansy doesn't like Ginny? Has she got feeelings for Draco?

Author's Response: Pansy is protective of Draco, certainly, and I think at one point she had feelings for him but these have probably simmered down into a fierce fondness for someone that, because she can't consider him a lover, she'd consider a best friend. Someone who has known her long enough, whom he has known intimately. Thank you, as ever, for taking the time to read and review.

I hope she is alive, you are keeping us in the dark about it. Will you show us where she is or what is happening to her?

Author's Response: That depends on your definition of "alive" DUN DUN DUNN. Haha, yes, Ginny definitely will be making an appearance - well more than an appearance really, she'll be there about the 5th or 6th chapter in, depending on the progression of the next few chapters. And what's happening with her now is really just a result of getting in the way of something bigger. The way that individuals are always compromised in the running of larger schemes and politics. Thank you so very much for your thoughts and questions they keep me going :)

Thank you for updating :) Huge chapter and gave us treads to some background information. I like Draco’s partner, i think he just may survive this partnership now)

Author's Response: Haha, yess, well, that was my intention all along. Which is why I got kind of alarmed when reviews expressed dislike for him in the first chapter, I was like, guys, give him a chance, he's awesome. Also, he's incredibly tolerant because, seriously, Draco is a cross between a man and a child. A man-child.
