You were right about Draco and Ginny having to face more trials, weren't you? Actually, that was a really stupid thing for me to say; it's your story, after all, so you should know. But this keeps getting more and more complex! I'm looking forward to a resolution, though. Thanks for the update!

This is wonderful! I love Draco and Ginny's bantering relationship, and the way the tone of your piece helped highlight that. I also liked the way you switched back and forth between "real life" and the fairytale. This is the most fun I have had reading in a while. Thanks so much for posting!

I'm enjoying your story so far. I like that the readers are just as much in the dark--and just as frustrated!--as Ginny is. Of course, I do have a pretty good idea of who "he" is, so I'm at least a little better off than she is. :) Anyway, I am looking forward to finding out just what is behind Ginny's dreams!

Author's Response: Thanks for the wonderul review! Ginny figures it out (well, most of it) very soon. I hope you stick with us!\r\n\r\n

Oh my gosh. That was really hot. Your Draco is deliciously evil, with just enough of a softness at the end to make this into a romance. Thanks for posting this! I'm looking forward to reading more. 

Author's Response: Thank you :) I\'m blushing, really. This started out with Draco just being evil, but it turned into so much more. Thanks for reading. I\'m working on Part II already!

I really enjoyed this. You used contrasts really effectively in many ways, and the mood is so bittersweet. Thanks for writing it, and I hope you will consider writing more!

Author's Response: Thank you, I\'m glad you enjoyed it! I\'m thinking of writing a companion piece that goes a little deeper into their story, but I haven\'t decided whether to make it from Draco\'s POV or keep it in Ginny\'s. I\'m just so excited so many people liked it, a million ideas are floating through my head now, lol!

This is absolutely classic. I love the way that you managed to write it within the confines of canon, and keep everyone entirely in character, but still give us our D/G moment. My favorite things were the subtle details--things like Ginny not realizing that Draco hadn't made a mistake at Halloween, and more importantly, the fact that she was able to believe him depends on his wife resembling her so much. Or Draco's comment on coveting a co-worker's wife. Or Slughorn reaching for the candy, wanting refreshments while he watched the show. I love the recurring theme of genetics, and the way that the generations reflect each other. And that's just the beginning. Anyway, I think I will stop here. I bet it will take about ten more readings to really appreciate the story thoroughly, and I'll enjoy every one!

What a fun ending! I love that you left it open-ended. It means that I can make up my own ending, and I'm sure you can guess what it is! Thanks for adding to this--it certainly adds interest (and hope!) to the story!
