Zounds, I love this story. I normally review frequently when I enjoy one, but this one has had me hitting "Next" far too rapidly to type anything here. Lovely characters, Harry's scary (sigh, rhymes are evil), Hermione's conflicted, Draco's sexy as sugar-coated sin (is there any other way he could be?), and Ginny's amazing. I love Neville and Pansy together... unexpected pairings that work well are always a delight.

If I remember I'll go back and do a more thorough review, but I'll likely be sitting here pouting that it's over for a while :)

Mmmm... that whole tongue-mimicking-his-motions thing is something my own Draco-like husband does with me... glee! =D

I love well-written erotica, which yours is, though I can't like the whole "hot jets" thing. Too porn-ish. Go more erotic, not XXX :P

Also, I always picture Draco being smooth as a baby's bum except for the one place where all men have at least something... but then, that's likely my own personal preference for skin over fur, so take that as you will.

*applauds loudly and for a long time*

I loved this very much :)

I love Clementine Nott, I wish she were my grandmother =)

This was beautiful. I am sorry you're not doing a whole story for them, but I'm glad you've been leaving little sweetened bread crumbs for those of us who are now mopey from a sad lack of a pile of Dark Directed novel-length fics into which we can dive head-first.

Dzien kuje! (Polish for "Thank you!" I live in the NW Chicago suburbs; the area has the second highest Polish population in the world, second only to that nation's capital. *smirks*)

...wow =)

I'd review every chapter, but... as I said previously, I couldn't pause long enough to do so. This was absolutely fantastic. Truly. It has gained an honored place among the special few best fanfics I've ever read, along with those by ones such as Cassandra Claire, among others. This is by NO means an attempt to compare, nay, it is to elevate your work. Thank you so much for writing this =)

Should you ever need another beta, I would be honored to be considered. I never finished my English major, but I'm annoyingly nitpicky, and that should count for something ;) I.E., could you fix Voldemort's name in some of the previous chapters? Voldermort bugs me *giggles* I shan't continue, perhaps there was a reason for this too, so I'll cease. *smirks*

Again, thank you, and I'm sure I'm not alone when I muse that this story could use a delightfully fluffy sequel. *grins*bouncies*salutes*

I completely agree with Elle Blessingway: I'd love to see Draco's POV on this. It would leave this technically a one-shot, but we'd have a little more on it =D

(though no one would complain if this actually did continue... though I can understand the desire to leave this as is, perfect in its pristine state)

I also concur with Archirat about nixing the word "like" from Ginny's comment about male arousal. Valley-girl-ish-ness should be disinfected from our favorite redhead :)

Oh yeah... this was steamy yummyliciousness! I don't agree with Draco's definition (romance is a combination of all those things, not exclusively passion) but I sure loved his demonstration.

If it were possible to blueball a woman, Ginny would be sporting quite a pair of them *grins evilly* Masterfully executed.

*shivers deliciously* One-shot my arse, expound upon this one, milady! Please? =)

My favorite part of any D/G fic is their initial interaction, learning to break down the existing barriers and the deliciously sensual sparks that result from said barrier-breaking... but I do enjoy this as well :)

Oh yes, and I loved Ginny's outlook on life. Poetic indeed. It mirrors my outlook when I was in high school, as it's how I made my way through every day in just such a chipper manner.

*smiles serenely* I was aprehensive about beginning another story that didn't feature the characters from the other one to which I'd grown so attached, but you've effortlessly gotten me hooked on this one. I'm already sailing through the chapters and pouting that there aren't nearly enough to keep me busy =)

Should have been, "Draco Malfoy... you've got fe-mail!" :P

Cute fluff :)

*applauds*
