A Second Beginning by Sannikex    (Reviews - 123)

For Ginny Weasley, being thirty-two years old and divorced while struggling to raise a teenage son on her own, romance just isn't on the map. But when help comes from the most unexpected source she has to re-examine her priorities. Draco Malfoy has it all, the house, the job and the perfect son, but when he meets Ginny Weasley again he realizes all of what he never had.

Thank you for another outstanding chapter. I'm beginning to worry about the murdered children and who's doing it and why. It makes sense why Ginny doesn't leave James one. Why isn't Draco concerned? On the other hand, Harry really shows how he cares about James, but he's not a priority.
I'm looking forward to the date and am convinced these two are meant for each other. I'm.finding it strange the mixture of muggle and magic, but it works and I like it!

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I don't think anyone really knows what Harry does at work but I needed to convey he's not giving up on his family for nothing! Hopefully he'll work on catching the murderer behind the scenes. I do think Harry loves and really cares for James, he's just torn in two directions and the good of the many has outweighed his own happiness. The mix of muggle and magic is purely for my own enjoyment - I'm glad you think it works :) I'm really happy to hear you're still enjoying!

I was wondering how Draco came to live in the muggle world. I loved Malfoy Manor described as a drafty hellhole. Change from the glorious mansion it's usually described as! It's not unexpected that Score is feeling a bit threatened and I hope he can get past it. Love this chapter! I love how their attraction for each other is not just physical.

Author's Response: I'm sure, like you, the Manor looks very grand but I think Draco may be a bit biased in his view! More attraction for any and all features of each other in this one so I hope you have enjoyed! S.

I'm happy to see your recent update of the second chapter of this story. I think it's great. I like the interaction between Draconian and Score. Looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Author's Response: Thank you for your kind review, I hope you are enjoying what's happening now :)

I've been looking forward to Harry's reaction. He has to realize now that it really is over between he and Ginny. I hope the Weasley's will eventually accept Draco. As always looking forward to the next installment. You paint such a great picture that sometimes I forget it's just a story! Thank you!

Author's Response: I think Harry WILL get it. I think the Weasleys WILL accept Draco. I just think they're all really stubborn!! I'm so glad to hear you like it and that you're sticking around! See you soon :)

This story keeps getting better and better. The mutual attraction is only the icing on the cake. There are so many fun and interesting directions this story can go. I'm thinking Harry isn't going to be too thrilled about Ginny dating. I like the kids interaction and the introduction of Teddy.

Author's Response: Thank you, I am so happy you like it! There will be more kids, a little more Teddy and lots more attraction (I like the icing the best). Harry will make his appearance and we will see how happy he is...in a while. My guess would be not thrilled :P

Animals by dykeadellic    (Reviews - 14)

Draco watched her from the dark, his grey eyes hooded with lust. The thrill of the chase always got to him. But this one was different. This one he wanted to keep instead of kill. Ginny Weasley would be his.

For years I have been reading D/G fan fiction. I think I enjoy it so much because the pairing is so unlikely but seems to make sense. In any case, I'm seldom surprised. This story is such a nice change of pace even though it does not paint either character in a positive light. It's different and I enjoyed it. I like the unanswered questions. Does Ginny really know and is in denial or is it simply she loves him and does not care? Does she hope to meet a similar fate?

Author's Response: I am very glad you liked this! I left it open for interpretation purposely. It's all up to the reader how they paint Ginny. There are definitely endless choices, though. Thanks so much for your review!

The Life of a Personal Assistant by MemoriesFade    (Reviews - 115)

The last thing Ginny expected when she got called into work was a promotion; and she certainly didn’t expect the disruption it would cause to her carefully constructed life.

I am enjoying this story. I like that Lucius is not a letch but Draco is! I love that Ginny is great at an important and tough job despite her Rocky start. Hmmm...what to do about a certain clause in her contract?

Author's Response: Haha! I think that might have thrown everyone for a loop that clause. :) We shall see how that goes. Thanks for the review! ~ Ann

I'm always pleased to see this fiction updated. I love your writing style. You do a great job describing the scene and emotions of the characters. I'm enjoying this pool party and looking forwarding its conclusion in the next chapter. Thanks for the quick update.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! And you're welcome!! I am going to do my best to have the next chapter out as quickly as possible. :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter and thank you for reading and reviewing!

I really like this story. I'm wondering if these two will ever be able to move forward with the mutual attraction! Very good description of the Greengrass home and the pool party. It's great reading something new and different.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you like it!!! I don't think it would be a spoiler to say that ~eventually~ Draco and Ginny will be on the same page. How soon will that be? I can't say. ;) Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Date: Dec 07, 2015 Title: Chapter 8: Eight: A Determined Ghost

Thank you for the update. While I missed interaction with Ginny and Draco it was nice getting to know Collin better and getting a sense of how he's coping in the afterlife. I think you've done a great job of illustrating how dangerous Junker is and how GInny may be in over her head. I can't wait until that guy gets what he has coming to him! I will look forward to your next update and really appreciate that you're busy and yet still find time for your fans!

Author's Response: Awww, thank you! I don't even know how to respond to such a nice review. ;o; But, seriously, thank you for reading and for supporting the story! I'd still be writing TDC even if no one was reading it, but knowing that there are people who like it and are waiting for updates certainly motivates and inspires me. I can't wait to share the rest of story (when I write it, lol)!

Date: Aug 14, 2015 Title: Chapter 6: Six: A Night Out

I love the latest installment of this story. If only Dracp realizes that Ginny is just as infatuated with him as he is with her. The butter whiskey sounds great. I haven't mentioned before but it's so refreshing to have Ginny's occupation be Spirit Division Liaison. Original and nice change from quiditch player or auror. Nice to see the very slimy Junker back. Poor Colin, everyone picks on him! Looking forward to the next chapter and hopefully more sexy dreams!

Author's Response: I do like to try and switch things up as far as Ginny's (and Draco's!) career is concerned. And once I decided she was working in the Spirit Division, I HAD to have Ghost!Colin as a character!! Originally he wasn't going to be in the story at all, but I'm so glad I left him in. I don't know about sexy dreams, but there should be some more sexiness at some point in the future! ;) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Great update. Looking forward to the "real" date. Lots of great new direction. I especially am enjoying Ginny's true attraction to Draco. I can imagine he's experiencing similar feelings. I'm wondering what's up with Junker. Thank you so much for the quick update.

Author's Response: The next chapter is going to be a good one!!! (If I do say so myself. I guess I'll let the readers be the judge of that, though!) Junker will make an appearance next time. ;) And it makes me so happy that you consider this one a quick update since it took longer than I intended. ;o; Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! More soon.

Another great chapter! Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful story. You must be very busy so please know your efforts are appreciated. I love the interaction between Draconian and Ginny was perfect. Ant wait until Ginny meets Narcissa and Junker figured out Draco really is Ginny's "boyfriend".

This is a great story! I think Junker will get what's coming to him and I'm looking forward to finding out how it happens.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying it! If Junker doesn't get what's coming to him, there will be no justice in the world, I'm just saying. Hang tight to see how it happens! n_n

This chapter is great. Especially liked Draco's reaction to the letter and photo. I love stories where there's chemistry but takes a while to get there. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: Draco's reaction to the letter/photo cracked me up, so I'm glad someone else was amused by it, too! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. n_n

I am wondering why Junker was visiting Magical Transportation? Hmmm....probably
spying. He is persistent and a real scumbag! I like how Ginny is warming up to Draconian. Literally! Looking forward to lunch at the Weasley's.

Author's Response: Junker has his sleazy reasons, which you will find out eventually. :) I agree that he's both persistent and a scumbag, both of which we should see more of later! So that's something to look forward to. ;)

Date: May 27, 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Asamprajnata

You must have had so much fun writing about their escape from the Yeti's lair. It was great fun reading it. I think Luna and Rolf were out of their minds crazy to take little boys on such a dangerous adventure, even for.wizards. but, thanks to Xenophilious and his bag of wonder ingredients there was the happy ending I was hoping for. Great story. I really really enjoyed it.

Author's Response: I have to be honest with you, the yeti scene gave me some very big problems during the writing process. I think it was because of the shift in the tone of the story (their children are alive and suddenly everybody is happy, and the sane people - Draco, Ginny, Scorpius and Lily - are outnumbered by the crazy ones - Xenophilius, Luna, Rolf, Lorcan and Lysander!), so my first take on it just didn't work and I spent a long long time trying to decide how to write it. I'm SO happy to hear that you enjoyed reading it, though! Honestly! Thank you so much for commenting on it! Thank you! <333 I think Luna and Rolf are completely out of their minds, and that this adventure hasn't taught them anything at all about child safety. LOL! I bet they'll be gone on another journey right after Dirigible Plum picking, but maybe next time Lily and Scorpius will stay behind to organise their wedding.. ;) But, yep! Thank God Xenophilius had his bag with him and knew exactly what to do to revive their children. Thank you so much again! :D You made my day with your kind words. xx

Okay im ready to meet this Yeti. Great story. It doesn't sound like Draco and Ginny have unhappy marriages so it will be interesting to see how all this ends. Very unique story. I really like it and am excited to see what happens next.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for all your lovely comments! Next chapter (which is also the last one) should be up soon - as soon as it's validated by the Cabal, apparently. And you'll definitely meet the Yeti! :D I'm glad you think my story is unique, that's definitely one of the biggest compliments you could pay me. <3 And ah.. Xenophilius is not as crazy as we would believe and if he thinks that there's something important in that bag then surely there must be something important! ;) By the way, I loved to research about Nepal and Everest for this fic, it made my want to go there myself. *sighs* Such a beautiful place. Thank you again! You made my day so much brighter. xx

Somewhere I Belong by Tiny Q    (Reviews - 97)

It’s been just over ten years since the Battle of Hogwarts. Society has moved on but not in the utopic way everyone assumed it would. For Ginny Weasley, however, everything is going great until a season-ending fall derails her Quidditch career and forces her to reevaluate her life. It also forces her to realize that there’s more to Draco Malfoy than she ever thought—something Luna has been telling her for the past six years… This is what happens when Slytherins find themselves filling the roles of Gryffindors, Ravenclaws rule the art world, and Weasleys are unable to use magic—or at least, one Weasley can’t.
