You're right that Luna is OOC, but I like what you've done with her anyway. This looks like it could be a lot of fun!

Author's Response: Thanks, I hope you continue to think that it\'s fun!

I enjoyed this, but I would love to know more about what Ginny was thinking and feeling (especially since she is calling Draco by his first name!). Thanks for posting this!

Author's Response: True. I wasn\'t as worried with her character asmuch I guess. I think I was relying on her just being sweet and forgiving. Since this peice, I\'ve worked to bring out a bit more fire and spark. Thanks for your review!

Notes on Falling Out of Love by fallingskyes    (Reviews - 281)

It's hard to learn how to live without that one person you thought would be in your life forever. But Ginny Weasley had always been a quick study, and there are always certain grey-eyed boys to help speed up the learning process...

I'm so glad you're posting this here! :)

Author's Response: Lol, I think it\'s only right that you\'re the first reviewer for this fic ^_^. And I\'m glad I\'m posting this here too....though I think you should post your exchange fic here too! It seriously was one of my favorites- I went through this total Jane Austen obsession a couple years back and when I was reading through your fic,I totally felt like I was reading one of her novels....except it was better, because, you know, the whole DG thing ;-)

Wishes For Your Soul by Lirie Halliwell    (Reviews - 170)

The idea of "renting" her soul out to anyone - let alone a former Slytherin nemesis - did not sit well with Ginny Weasley. But circumstances always tend to go askew and when she finds herself in a dire position, Ginny has no choice but to relent, accepting the deal and the seven wishes offered as payment.

I've been out of town, so I have just had the opportunity to read what you've posted of this story so far. It is a lot of fun! I really like the way you are giving us new glimpses of Draco's personality with every wish, while still keeping him from being too soft. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the story!

Reviewer: Embellished Signed
Date: Jul 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: *** fifth wish ***

Hee hee hee! Oh, dear! Poor Draco. I guess neither he nor Ginny quite understood what they were getting into with that last wish. I can't wait to see what else happens! Thanks for the update!

Date: Jul 15, 2008 Title: Chapter 6: *** sixth wish ***

Aaaaargh! I'm getting really, really frustrated with Ginny here. Hopefully she'll come around. After all, there are supposed to be seven wishes, right? Right? I am very much looking forward to the next chapter to find out!

Reviewer: Embellished Signed
Date: Jul 22, 2008 Title: Chapter 7: *** seventh wish ***

"Uh oh"? You're going to end it with "Uh oh"? Aargh! That's infuriating! But the rest of the chapter was lots of fun. I particularly liked Luna. She was not at all like what I usually think of Luna, but I guess that's what sexual frustration will do to you. And it was nice to see Draco and Ginny finally declare themselves, even if they were stubborn about it. This has been a really fun story. Thanks for writing it!

Oh, this story is fun! I really like your Narcissa and Blaise. :) I'm really looking forward to finding out just where Draco and Ginny's curiosity about each other takes them, too!

Author's Response: Yay, you made it! :) I\'ve had so much fun writing Narcissa and Blaise. Thanks for leaving a review!

Another wonderful chapter! I love the banter between Ginny and Draco--it hits exactly the right note for this stage of their relationship. I'm definitely looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad the banter held up, after all of Blaise\'s zingers. :)

Hooray! You're back! And I loved this chapter. The details are perfect, and some of the dialogue is inspired! Especially Draco's. I can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: I\'m back! I\'m so glad you liked it, and thanks so much for reviewing!

Wow! Two chapters at once! Ginny's boss is so annoying! Or ex-boss, I should say. I'm very interested to see what happens now--will Draco offer Ginny another job, or will Ginny follow Luna's advice? Whatever happens, I'm sure it will make me laugh! Thanks for the update(s)!

Author's Response: I am an updating fiend! All shall be revealed in the next chapter... or so. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Poor Ginny! She scared Draco away and doesn't even realize it. At least she seems to be realizing some things! I hope she'll finally take some initiative. And it should be interesting to see what happens if Puddlemere makes the playoffs! Thanks, as always, for the update!

Author's Response: It\'s progress! Glacially-paced, but at least Ginny\'s getting somewhere. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: Jul 17, 2008 Title: Chapter 10: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

That kiss had me grinning like crazy. *Happy sigh* It's too bad Ginny got skittish and Draco didn't have the sense to go after her. Oh well. At least we have Narcissa to help them get back on track! Thanks for the update! (By the way, I loved the line, "Getting nagged at was going to make him significantly less attractive.")



Author's Response: Woohoo! I\'m so happy you like it! Thank you for reviewing, I really appreciate your comments! And too bad the dancing cancelled out the nagging and made him attractive again, eh?

Reviewer: Embellished Signed
Date: Jul 18, 2008 Title: Chapter 11: Things Fall Apart

Aargh. Both Draco and Ginny are being horribly annoying. I wish they would hurry up and figure things out. Of course, the story wouldn't be nearly as fun to read then. So I guess I'll just have to wait to see what comes next. Sigh. At least Blaise is cooperating--he was awesome in this chapter! By the way, have I mentioned lately how much I love this story? Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: They both need a little kick in the pants, yes? :) And if we\'re mentioning things, I should say that you are awesome, and thank you for taking the time to review each chapter!

Reviewer: Embellished Signed
Date: Jul 19, 2008 Title: Chapter 12: Perfectly Fine

Oh, yes, that is perfectly satisfactory! I love Margaret. She is absolutely perfect for Draco, in an assistant sort of way, that is! Having her call security was a stroke of genius. And I can't say enough about Draco and Ginny finally getting over their fears and Apparating away to better things. :) I hope this makes it clear just how happy I am with this chapter! And I am very much looking forward to the epilogue as well! Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Yay! I\'m so glad you enjoyed it! Heh, Margaret\'s clearly done this too many times before (but, of course, Draco\'s never been in love with any of the previous trespassers). Thank you for reviewing!

Kudos to Alexandria Malfoy for "What makes you think I haven't already?", and even more to you for filling out the epilogue so nicely! This was an absolutely perfect way to end a wonderful story. Thank you so much for writing it! I am looking forward to reading whatever you come up with next!

Author's Response: Yes, she\'s fabulous! Thank you so much for all your reviews; I really appreciate you taking the time to share your insights!

Promise Us Everything by Eustacia Vye    (Reviews - 130)

The fallout of a magical clandestine war is difficult to wade through, and reconstructing society takes work to be done right. Unfortunately, too many old prejudices remain. Ginny sees the world for what it is and is determined to fix it properly. This leads to all sorts of unlikely allies.

Ooh! I'm really looking forward to this story! I love Nokomis's drabble, and it will be lots of fun to see how you develop those ideas (and add some of your own)!

Author's Response: Her drabble was too good for me to resist enlarging the scope of it into a full length story. And of course, I wanted to add some smut and such. ;) I definitely elaborated a lot on the drabble and added a few threads that she was really happy with.

Reviewer: Embellished Signed
Date: Sep 12, 2008 Title: Chapter 2: Preparations

I love how Draco is plotting and plotting, and Ginny is just kind of going with the flow. She knows that she's doing the right thing, but she's so naive still. That should make for an interesting dynamic. I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: For now, this is Draco\'s court. Ginny\'s on the learning curve, but at the moment it\'s still pretty steep. It was fun slowly changing the dynamic as the chapters went on. :)

Date: Sep 16, 2008 Title: Chapter 3: The Tipping Point

I really like it that it was Ginny who initiated the first kiss. That's a nice contrast to the last chapter, when she seemed so naive in comparison. She's starting to come into her own, I guess. I'm still enjoying this story very much, and looking forward to more!

Author's Response: It\'s a nice turnaround from how I usually write the pair. :) I\'m glad you\'re liking how that developed.

Date: Sep 20, 2008 Title: Chapter 4: Inventing New Rules For The Game

Another excellent chapter. I love that Ginny took the lead again, and I love the way that Draco resisted, but couldn't resist in the end. Lovely. And on a completely different note, I really liked the sly way Ginny suggested that she introduce Millicent to Percy. As always, I am looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: lol. I really enjoyed writing a slightly different Ginny than my usual take. Here, her past isn\'t one that broke her, but made her stronger and more aware. I like this Ginny a lot better, actually, and it shows. :)
