Three words.

Best. Boggart. Ever.

Ginny's Boggart that is. Not Ginny-Boggart. Although that was pretty damn amusing as well, lol.

Author's Response: Thank you. I thought the Draco boggart sounded quite nice myself.

The fertility joke was actually pretty funny. Plus, 'Boy Who Was Failing Her Miserably's' paranoia is pretty amusing as well.

“I’m not jealous, Gin. I’m disgusted. There’s a difference.”

*kicks Harry*

Ugh. I'm really not loving him in this fic... granted I don't much like him anyway but he's being particularly unlikeable in this story.

Perceptive!Blaise was fantastic. Even I missed out on the fact that it was the threat of being cut off that was Draco's worst fear. I was far too busy concentrating on the thought of Draco and Ginny with a houseful of children.

Author's Response: I think this is a review for the Boggart Debacle. I\'m not sure how it ended up here. I agree, Harry is not truly likeable in this fic. You may kick him if you wish.

"Did you just wake up this morning and make it your current mission in life to annoy the hell out of me?" Ginny asked tiredly.

"Yes, actually," he said. "Damn. I've been found out."

"You'll get an official copy of the pardon. You can frame it," she said

Oh Ginny! Ginny you are fabulous.

You know, I can't believe that I've never actually read this. I don't know how, or why, I've managed to miss it, and yet I have.

The guard has left me with the worst urge to read smutty prison sex now, though. *sigh*

Author's Response: Smutty prison sex, eh? LOL. Can't help you there, I'm afraid. The fic is very Draco-centric, so I'm glad to hear Ginny manages to stand out anyway. And that you found the fic! Thank you for taking the time to read and comment!

To Follow a Flagnort by Girl With a Pearl Earring    (Reviews - 16)

It’s a well known fact that Luna Lovegood believes in many ridiculous theories, such as the existence of strange creatures that nobody else seems to be able to see. But when one of those creatures comes to life before her very eyes, a new quest is formed, and she sets to work trying to discover what to do along with two very unenthusiastic people: Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy.

Millions and Millions of Malfoys (And One Very Sleep-Deprived Ginny) by Anise    (Reviews - 401)

Ginny Weasley is absolutely sure that Draco Malfoy is hatching a particularly evil plot as junior head of the Ministry Department of Culture, and that it definitely involves puppy-strangling, bribing officials, and consistently wearing trousers tailored very tight in back. Or at least it's a theory that makes sense when she's been surviving on two hours of sleep a night for far too long, and Draco keeps vetoing her sketches for the new marble statues at the Ministry fountain. But then Luna Lovegood gives her a potion with some very curious effects, and Ginny finds that she just may have to revise her opinions about those evil trousers...

Reviewer: HumbugGirl Signed
Date: Mar 13, 2010 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 38

I'm really enjoying the plot of this story. The descriptive writing is as flawless as ever, and the way you've written Draco particularly is just lovely. The dilemma that you've put Ginny in is cleverly worked, and it came as a surprise. There are a couple of things that (at least for me) detract from this story though. Firstly, the dialogue. It feels long winded, and in places a little repetitive. The second thing is Nick. Sometimes it feels as if the extent of his antics are becoming a little over the top and drawing the story out unnecessarily. I suspect I'm noticing this more because I just read multiple chapters back to back.

Author's Response: I think you're right about that, and it's because this story got away from me for awhile and basically took off on its own (plot scampers away gleefully.) I eventually chased and caught it (chains up plot and throws it into the corner), but some of the damage was done. On the other hand, I now accept that I have a problem... working the twelve steps may help...D/G/A, anyone? ;)

Past is Prologue by Butterfly_Kate    (Reviews - 15)

"He was charming the beer mats to fight."

I want to be able to do that. Seriously, how much fun would that be?

There was some great dialogue in this - loads of witty one-liners. My favourite bit was the mention of their history - the post-battle drinking. Draco's speech about changing and yet not changing was really well written.

Author's Response: I think it's the little things that would make magic such a great thing to have! Thank you very much for reading, my dear :)

Really liked them going after Mundungus together, and I liked the fact that Draco reacted to the way he mucked up. Very Draco like.

I'm terrified I'm going to end up gushing in this review, but I honestly can't state how much I enjoyed this story. It was wonderful. Refreshing, I think, is the best word. Using the business cards was an excellent device and the final one actually left me grinning. Honestly one of the best stories I've read in a while. I sincerely hope to see many more stories from you in the future.

I enjoyed very much the Draco exclamation at seeing Harry using his wand. I can just imagine his indignation.

Author's Response: I can only imagine his indignation. I mean really... Harry took his wand! I'm betting the kid was practically beside himself over that! LOL. To think that Potter was actually *using* it... well... let's not go there. :) Glad you enjoyed!

Lol - I read some of the reviews. The epic gulf between LJ/Porn Battle and the archive, eh?

Nice bit of kink. Not my usual fare, but nicely done all the same.

Author's Response: Well, this isn't everyone's kink, so I don't take it personally. I think because people are expecting wilder things on the Porn Battle, it didn't throw them as much. :) I'm glad this worked even if it's not your thing. :)
