I've got abso-bloody-lutely no idea whether I loved or hated this. Seriously, cute idea but the 'fiery vixen and icey eyed Slytherin king' got a bit much. It might have been a bit fast paced ('oh really? you like me too?' *starts full snog fest*), but it wasn't horrible, at all. Please don't be offended at all, because I've only got constructive criticism. Over all, I DID enjoy the story (even if you might see me now as just a plain old whining cow) and I hope to see some more from you. :) That's all! *hopes you don't hate me*

Ngaw beautiful!! I remember reading this way back when this was just a few chapters long and remember thinking how refreshing this was. I had read many story about accidental babies but yours has been one of (if not the) best written ones.

I especially enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised at how deeply you delved into how Draco and Ginny could really love eachother and all the real complications and obstacles they faced having Serena already there. It really gave this story grounding that not many others have. So bravo! Really. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment. :D

Also just wanted to say: so glad you finished it too! I'm not sure but before my last D/G hiatus I was certain you weren't going to finish.

Author's Response: Thank you so very much! I did try and keep things as realistic as they could get for Harry Potter FF. :P Ahh, yes, I remember there were some long breaks in between chapters. But I always had every intention of finishing it because I hate leaving things undone. So happy you enjoyed it!

Yay another chapter! Ah the bag of apples made me smile like a giddy little school girl. Can't wait to find out Lucius' hand in all this. Is Ginny going to have to travel through time to be Draco's companion? AHH can't wait to find out!

Just FYI, after reviewing under Saarainjapo I remembered my original account (this one) and will be reviewing under this one now. So very glad I've never had to read a 400 000 word PWP! Erk!

Oh and... thank YOU for all your efforts in this. :)

Author's Response: Thanks! Oh, we'll find out what Lucius is up to, all right... although I'm not promising exactly WHEN we'll know everything about that.;) I love your original name. Hilarious! And yes, the thought of a 400,000 word PWP is much more disturbing than it is sexy. More soon!

Sorry to hear about your job but yay about not having to need an operation! Definitely sending good thoughts your way!

Anyway on to the chapter: OHEMGEE! Everything is so... Draco and Ginny are so... so SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR! What is Draco so paranoid about? Are they EVER going to get the sketches done? What's Lucius been up to these days? That ending was seriously heart wrenching!

Cannot wait for more!

Author's Response: Thanks! :) Yes! The tension is building between Draco and Ginny to say the least, and we're not done yet in that department. But it IS leading somewhere, trust me. ;) I can't tell you what Draco is so paranoid about, but I CAN tell you that they WILL get those sketches done. The really interesting part is exactly how they manage to do it... and that question about Lucius.... oh, you know I can't answer that one! More soon. :)

Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANISE! *sends up fireworks* Hope it's a wonderful day for you! :)

Secondly, AAAHHH!! All this D/G goodness lately has melted me into a puddle of goo. Loving how Ginny is getting more assertive and confident around him and just... ahh!!

This part, in particular, sent me spinning:

"Ginny stared at him hard. He looked back at her, and the smile died on his lips. She wondered just when Draco Malfoy had lost so much of his ability to hide his thoughts from her, or to dissemble his feelings, because he certainly had done. "

Can't wait for their finished sketches! It's not finished yet, right? I just thought they were drawing shapes in chapter(which btw, just suited me fine... as I've never imagined how intimate drawing shapes could be... he he).

Oh, and I spotted a couple of typos mid way. Just in this sentence that you can just ctrl+f. "She knew hsi face that well, now. The fact filled her with a sort of tender terroro" Actually it made me giggle a bit because you had just written an Italian accent and so I read the typos in one and then my brain went "WTFUNGREE?".

Aaanndd just lastly about your medical situation. Still sending good thoughts your way, Anise! It better not spoil your big day. *shakes fist then helps self to virtual chocolate cake* Sharing is caring, right?? ;)

Author's Response: Thanks! It was a fun day... lots of hiking and watching boats on the riverfront with my brother. We also have a "birthday month" tradition, so a lot of other things are planned, such a buying a new kitten, seeing the new POTC movie, and dinner on Friday. :) Yes, there is muchly more D/G goodness, isn't there? He's losing that ability to hide parts of himself from her... slowly, slowly... and no, they're not done. (Pictures circle sculptures.) Thanks SO much for the typo help! I think the op migraine is making it a tad difficult to catch everything sometimes at this point. I am now giving up coffee, chocolate, and agave in an attempt to avoid triggers. (Did you know that tequila is a big one? Watch those margaritas!) Anyway... much more soon!

Wow that was simply chilling! I think I expected the first couple of chapters not to be a casual and flirty as they were but really what they did was really pull me in.

The first kill I was certain the killer was Draco (especially in light of Ginny's initial rejection) but then you sort of lulled me into a false sense of security because it seemed like he really cared about her (I realise now maybe he was just savouring her?). Then I thought it was Blaise but thought that seemed too... I don't know... cliché? I think I also thought for a moment it was Harry but because you hadn't mentioned him so he got ruled out for being too random. I might have even thought for a split moment that it may even have been Ron but that suspicion died as swiftly as it was born.

Overall, I really enjoyed this! Well, as much as one can enjoy Draco killing Ginny fics. I think after finishing the whole story I almost wished it you had unravelled the ending slower or that Ginny had taken heed of her initial suspicion or the chills when Draco revealed his empathy with the killer but really I find myself unable to fault these quirks because I don't think it could have worked out better than how you wrote it.

So... I think this review is long enough now. Ha ha. Thanks for this story! :)

Wow. I feel like I *should* have realised Ginny was getting help there too but I didn't and I'm so glad! And that's just because as this was finishing, it all just came together and made such beautiful sense and there just no way you can get amazing feeling again. So thank you for sharing this with all of us here. :)

My only gripe would be this: I felt uncomfortable at the end, if not a little offended, with your 'poofter' references. It kind of just ruined the ending for me and I wish I could have just skipped past those lines to the part where he kissed her.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. n_n And I'm glad it made sense in the end. D: I was afraid a whole lot of the story would be characters just not making sense, even though they made perfect sense to me. Anyway, I'm glad it worked for you. As for the end, I can see how it would make you uncomfortable and I'm sorry that it did. It certainly wasn't my intention to offend.

I regrettably have no coherent words to describe how I feel for this. An example of what I can give you for now is: WOWbkjzjshciidhsj!!!111!! I am going to be one sad sap when this is over. And this will be story I will happily reread many times. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Author's Response: Hahaha. I'm so glad (and flattered!) that you're enjoying the story to the point of incoherence! I hope the rest is as exciting for you as this much has been. X) And thank you so much for reviewing!

Dah the misery of feeling suffocated in a relationship! Loved the hope shining through though!

Would have loved to see more of how they fell in love but I can deal with the fact they were. :)

Author's Response: Ah, this was just a cheeky challenge response - make up your own love story on how they got together ;)

Beautiful and heart warming. This is probably the oldest I've read D/G but I enjoyed it regardless. Always loved the Weasley clock. Thanks for this! :)

Author's Response: I have always fascinated by the clock, and I couldn't help but think of it being something I might not want, much for the same reasons I put in the story. I wondered how folks would feel about Ginny being older. I'm so happy you enjoyed!
best wishes!
