Powerful portrayls of all the characters. I just love that scene with Lucius and Finch. I'm thinking right about now that I need to go and read all of your previous stories.

So that explains the veil. Just brilliant.

Bravo! Well done. The hairs on the back of my neck are still standing up from the confrontation. They didn't break him. Wonderful.

Oh no! Ginny is falling off the C- L- I- F- F with Draco. I really do need to stop reading this story and get on with my real life, but I can't stop just yet....

The only criticism that I have to make about this story is that it had to end. I found myself quite wrapped up in the beautiful language, the psychological character portrayals, and the world you created within the veil and the High Clan and the old powerful magic... I also thought it one of the most realistic romantic encounters between Ginny and Draco. I am slightly outraged that there aren't more reviews of this wonderful story. I hope you've posted it at other sites because it would be a shame not to share such a gem of a story with others.

A fabulous chapter, gotsnape! I was hanging onto the edge of my seat, fearful and anxious and terribly sad, rooting for Ginny the entire time. My all time favorite line is: "Since when do Malfoy and Worry get together over Weasley?" As a fellow writer, it's a masterful manipulation of words and punctuation, too brilliant not to mention here. Draco makes a magnificent comeback as the reluctant and misunderstood gentleman in this chapter. I believe the sexual tension between the two is appropriate. It is a genuine continuation of the initial relationship and sexual pull which began at the beach. Yes, Ginny has been through hell and back again, but her ability to to appreciate Draco's sexual appeal speaks volumes about her unconscious vision of him, as a trustworthy sexual partner. This is not to say that I think they should be jumping each other's bones at this point in the fic; that would be inappropriate! She is struggling to reorient herself, deciding who is trustworthy and who isn't and understanding that everything is not as it appeared on the surface at the feast. I appreciate your strong portrayal of the Slytherin trio- Lucius, Severus and Draco. All have great ego strength, integrity, and interesting character flaws. Kudos to you!

What a wonderful little fic. It was so angst filled and painful to read that I had to stop several times, take a deep breath, gain a little control, and then go on. I liked your portrayal of Ginny, and she goes to Draco with all her preconceived notions and then can't even hear what he's saying to her. Wow, I wish it were a longer fic. Great job.!

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

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

That was just great! I especially enjoyed your snarky Draco dialogue: “What are you?” asked Draco peevishly. “Some kind of bloody echo?” What a refreshing, original, and quirky idea. I hate it when people ask this, but is there a sequel coming up? Thanks!

Author's Response: thanks!! well, i was thinking of something like that. not exactly a sequel, but a couple of short stories set after this fic... or something like that. it's all very vague, but lets see what comes of it...

Wow. What an incredible chapter. Kudos to you! It left me feeling..disturbed, of course. The history of Narcissa and Lucius is tragic beyond words, but perhaps it explains some of Draco's weaknesses and faults, growing up in such a tortured environment. Is it just me or does this fic seem to revolve around Lucius more than Draco? I wish Draco's character would wake up, grow a backbone, and think for himself instead of being lead around like an unquestioning dog on a leash by his father. Draco seems so weak and unappealing. He uses women like his father did, as inappropriate outlets for various emotional problems. Your portrayal of both Ginny and Narcissa is insightful and empathic, and their parallel relationships to the Malfoy men is an interesting and unexpected plot twist. Your writing is beautiful, and my level of infuriating disgust at Draco's actions tells me you're doing an awesome job! I am hopeful your next update will find Draco with some new insights about Ginny.

Well done! I really enjoyed your first chapter and have been waiting for your next installments. Loved that park scene. Does he or does he not realize that he is in love with her? Hmmm... Guess I'll just have to keep reading.

Denial has never been so beautifully and painfully written about. I'm just glad that their subconscious minds are alot smarter than their conscious ones. The visual imagery you created was just breathtaking. I can still hear the wind in my ears. Thanks for sharing this one. It was wonderful.

Wonderful! An absolute delight! That little gem of a story packed a nice fluffy punch. The ending was masterful. Now, about that sequel...I really think it should be in the horror genre because that is what Daddy's little darling will be in a few years.

Author's Response: Teehee. I was actually sort of thinking about a sequel. *sagenod* May take a million years... but it could happen xP

Lovely. There just isn't enough good angst out there. The aspect I enjoyed most was the strength of her character versus the weakness of his. I suspect his emotional weakness (choosing his father and other empty things over her) will kill him in the end (not literally, of course). As with all well done angst, I can only hope for a sequel. Thanks.

Author's Response: A sequel... I'm not so sure... I think that if I started a sequel it would somehow end up cliche... I might write one but not end up posting it if I hate it. Eh, well. I'll try. ♪Lynne♪
