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.

Date: Sep 24, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: Belle of the Ball

It's sweet how Ginny has taken Pansy under her wing, and convinced her family to do so, too! It seems Ginny knows how to manipulate everyone--from Molly to the Minister. I'm interested to see how she does once she starts gaining confidence. I also find it interesting that everyone Draco knows seems to be concerned that she will break his heart. :) Anyway, thank you for the update. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Author's Response: Ginny\'s very social and can be very charming, though she doesn\'t realize that. It\'s what really helped get the enterprise off the ground and is what allows her to really get to know others. She might think of it as \"Slytherin,\" but she can be likeable, and that\'s all you really need to get a good conversation going. Once it\'s started, the manipulation can be worked right in pretty naturally. :)

I really liked the conversation in which Ginny told Draco about what Lucius had done to her. Draco's reactions were perfectly subtle. But now you have me worried about what Lucius has up his sleeve too! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for the update, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Author's Response: Unfortunately, some of the things in the story are going to seem like dead ends, since I don\'t really go into detail afterward. Lucius is one of those things. :(

First of all, congratulations on your new baby! I hope that everything is going well.

I'm glad that you are posting again. This was certainly an interesting chapter! I love how Ginny is both manipulative and naive at the same time. She was masterful with Amelia Howe, but then had no clue that other people might be willing to help her. Very nicely done. And I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of the fertility treatments. Thanks for the update!



Author's Response: Well, it's been going well enough that I could get on the computer long enough to post the next chapter. ;) Ginny has some raw talent (she is the twins' little sister, after all) but doesn't think of it as manipulating others, and certainly doesn't think that she can actually recruit people. She thinks of this project as much more complicated than it really is, poor thing. We'll see more of Pansy, no worries. :)

Another interesting chapter! I like the way things are progressing with the charity. And the smut doesn't hurt either! Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Smut makes everything better. :D

Hee hee! I almost wish Ginny had done something more spectacular while on the pain potions, but it's probably better that she didn't. And her manipulation of Chesterfield was absolutely brilliant! Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Yeah. Going too far probably wouldn't be a good thing, even on pain meds. :) I had fun needling Chesterfield through Ginny, and I think it showed. :D

Hooray for happy endings! I found Draco's reluctance to be seen together (for Ginny's sake, of course) especially endearing. I enjoyed this story very much. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. :)

Cat and Mouse by ClairdeLune    (Reviews - 12)

Would Draco's sixth year have gone differently if someone had reached out to him? Peer into Draco's mind as he goes through this pivotal point. It is a year of extreme importance, and everything should be running smoothly. Unfortunately for our hero, an insistant redhead keeps disrupting his plans and making him doubt his intentions. Is Ginny enough to save Draco from the dark path he's traversing? Maybe.
