If anyone is interested in becoming my beta-reader, please let me know. However, be sure that you have enough time- I've had past beta-readers who only beta'd for about a month and took a very long time betaing, and I'd rather not go through that again... So, if you think you can stand to look over my horrible grammar, drop me a line.

The Visible Invisible by Emeral_eyes    (Reviews - 116)

*Complete* "There are hundreds of invisible people in the world – the ones that you would never notice. You can see them, because they are there, but you don’t SEE them really. I realized that night that I was invisible." When you feel invisible, you'd do anything to have someone really see you; the way you've always wanted to be seen. But if the only person who actually sees you is the last person you'd ever expect it to be, what do you do? [Post Hogwarts]

wow, that was amazing. I love the ending, it would have been ruined if they were both blubbering sweet little nothings to each other, I think that you pulled it off very well. The plot was great, not too slow, not too fast. And the whole Neville thing completely threw me off! Wonderful story, I'm going to go look at your others.

you write beautifully! I like the way you kept Peeves and Dumbledore in character. Most make Dumbledore be either too serious or too goofy, you hit it right on the head.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! That's probably the best compliment I've ever gotten, because Dumbledore is just SO hard to write, because he's so mysterious in canon! Thanks!

loved the last line but why are they getting married? Oh, I'm so impatient! lol, anyway I only have two things to point out- His only sister and the youngest Weasley was engaged to be married (when I first read it I was like- whoa, Ginny's getting married to a girl and the girl's brother is really ticked... and then I read that Ron was actually the one reading it...anyway, perhaps you should change it to something like: His sister, the youngest Weasley, was engaged to be married.) --and-- Ron Weasley didn't know which was worse - the fact that he was reading about it in the paper instead of hearing it from Ginny or that she was apparently engaged to the slimy git. (it sounds like you're saying the newspaper is the slimy git Ginny's marrying. ::mentle image of Ginny kissing a newspaper:: what beautiful babies they would make ^.^ The only thing you need to do is tell who exactally the slimy git is) --- Those two things were the only things that really jumped out at me. You can go ahead and read my fic and analyze my grammar if you wish (you'll find plenty mistakes, lol) ^.^ --- Anyway, loved it- can't wait for the next chapter!!!

Reviewer: torndeception Signed
Date: Apr 15, 2006 Title: Chapter 15: Home Away From Home

I'm glad that they haven't kissed yet... UST is my favorite part about Draco/Ginny- the slow build up, the denial... *sigh* it's great.

Goodness, I don't know where to begin on favorite lines... most of them have already been mentioned in the reviews before me. Oh well.

Draco laughed at this. "You're underage. Therefore you still answer to your parents."

I rolled my eyes at that- he's only a year older... the snob. ; )

--

"I was..." Her voice dropped to a whisper and she looked down at her fidgeting fingers. "Just smelling your cologne."

"Weasley!" He looked scandalized.

Hehehehe... it reminds me of my friend and her boyfriend. She's constantly borrowing his sweatshirt so she can smell it during class, and whenever she's around him she makes it a point to sniff him at least once. (After rereading that, I realized it sounds rather weird).

Anyway, I just thought it was funny that Draco was so scandalized about her *smelling* him when she just *licked* him.
--
I basically loved the whole Florence Nightingale moment, twas teh sexiness... I bet Draco won't protest to her healing him anymore ; )... I also thought it was really cute that they sort of look after each other, kind of like a married couple. (examples- her buttoning his shirt for him, him stepping in front of her to protect her when they heard someone enter the house... little things like that).
--
The butterdish incident was classic. Now, if only Harry had been there to see it. T'would have been total jealousy.

Speaking of which, I can't wait until Harry's next visit. Ginny needs to shut him down. Draco should overhear it. Oh it would be wonderful.
--

I think that this is the first time I've reviewed this fic. Wow, that makes me feel really guilty. Just to let you know- I've been reading it from chapter one... and eagerly read the chapters to follow as soon as you updated. Wow, if this is my first time reviewing- I'm sorry, I'm a jerk. Forgive me? :-/

Thank you soooo much for writing this! I've been waiting for a post-DH fic like this. Yay. ^.^

The image of Draco gardening is extremely amusing, yet it somehow fits in perfectly with the story thus far.

I've always thought that Harry is too self-absorbed to really please Ginny. I'm glad that she's going to finally realize it. I do feel sorry for the kids, though- I can only imagine how tense things will be at home when the return from Hogwarts.

Awesome start, and I can't wait to read more! ^.^

Author's Response: Happy to oblige! I like Gardener!Draco, too- I thought it was a semi-original hobby for him in fic, and the symbolism isn't bad either. I'm thrilled you like it so far.

Re: The children
My parents' divorce was acrimonious at best, and I was a young teen at that time, so I feel like I've got a good grip how I want to write their emotions.

Reviewer: torndeception Signed
Date: Aug 13, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Wonderful chapter yet again.

I feel so sorry for Harry and Ginny, because they aren't happy with each other... But I also am kind of glad for them, because they were able to talk about it and could decide on divorce in a civil manner. It's refreshing to see that a couple on the rocks can still be friends. :-)

I can only imagine how tense it will be during Christmas break with Harry and Ginny knowing they are going to end their marriage and the kids being (presumably) oblivious. Although, if Harry and Ginny's relationship has declined in such a manner, I'm sure at least one of the kids have noticed...

I really like this story. Keep on writing. :-)

Reviewer: torndeception Signed
Date: Sep 03, 2007 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Yet another fab chapter. :-D

Let's see... What were my favorite parts?...

I love the old ladies in the gardening club, well the gardening club in general. Everything about pH levels makes me feel like I should be in Earth/Environmental Science again. :-x

I love the friendship developing between Draco and Ginny. I'm wondering how Harry will react if he finds out Draco has been in his home...

I loved the bit about the kiddie drawings. (Egyptian hieroglyphs indeed. I always feel so guilty when my brother hands me a drawing of his... I end up staring at it for about three minutes before finally giving up and asking him what it is I'm actually looking at.) Lucius's 'pastel beauty' had me giggling. ^.^

Once again- great job on this chapter! I'm looking forward to what else you have up your sleeve...
