Neville/Pansy!!!!1! I officially love you.

Author's Response: Thank you site Mommy! That is high praise coming from you.

I'm really enjoying this story a lot, and I'm glad you're updating so frequently. Although this chapter had a lot of exposition, it flowed well and kept the story moving, which is a definite sign of good writing. Hope to see more soon! :)

Author's Response: *dies happily.*

A couple of these are H/D instead of D/G, and several seem to be directly ripped off from "Things I'm not allowed to do at Hogwarts". Please go back and edit to a) be D/G and b) give explicit credit or take out anything you didn't write.

On a personal note, you might want to remember that not all of your potential audience are Bush-hating Democrats.

*swoon* I loved this! They were both so sneaky and duplicitous, they're perfect for each other. :D

Author's Response: Thank you! Duplicitous, I love that word. I\'ll have to use that somewhere. :)

*happy sigh*

Author's Response: *grins*

It's not a bad ending, but it seemed really abrupt. I had to go back and try to figure out if I'd missed a chapter, because the last one didn't lead into what happened.

Author's Response: I reread it, and decided that you were right. I went back and added a phrase to the opening sentence that will hopefully take care of that.

Cute!

Author's Response: Thanks so much!

Lucius had better watch out, or he'll end up getting the same as Flint and Nott. Go, Draco! (Psst - and cut your hair, baby, you want to de-emphasize the resemblance to your dad, 'k?)

Author's Response: LOL Mynuet! ;-) In chapter 10, I am going to go some into Lucius background and it will explain some of his behavior. Perhaps he can heal too in this fic! Yeah, Draco needs a haircut, or to stop tying his back!

Let me put it another way - if you don't write more, which involves him somehow not rotting away in Azkaban, then in my mind this matches up with a "Ginny breaks Draco out of jail and they run away" scenario that I wrote long ago. ;)

Author's Response: It is entirely written, so don't fear, you will have your answer in the next couple of days. Do you really have to ask yourself if I'd let Draco rot away in Azkaban? As I said before, you might be surprised. There will be breaking, but the question is what type ;P

*happy sigh* This was so heartbreaking, but the ending more than makes up for it.

Author's Response: Thanks *passes you a tissue* I had to make them happy again *g*

I read this when you first posted it, meant to go back and review it, and ended up keeping the tab open for days so that I wouldn't forget.

I think what stuck with me about this fic is Draco's total willingness to do what needs to be done, even though it makes him feel awful. It plays right into my ideas about the inherent pragmatism of the Slytherin mindset - and it meshes well with the damn-the-consequences joy of Ginny's more Gryffindoric attitude, bringing new life into a difficult world.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review (and remembering to come back to do it!), Myn.

I completely agree about Slytherin pragmatism- when I wrote this, it felt like an interesting aspect of Draco\'s character to address, rather than go my normal route of his undying love for Ginny. I wanted to show that they\'re compatible on more than one level, and I\'m so glad that came across. Thanks again! :)
