Date: Dec 03, 2014 Title: Chapter 16: Epilogue
Wow, that was an interesting read. This story was quiet; quiet in that the premise of it was simple without complications. It was simply a story about growing up and finding solace-- different from what I usually read, but I enjoyed it. I'll admit, there were parts where I felt like Draco was a little bit OOC, but then he'd say or do something that would contradict it (in which I was familiar with the Draco I usually read about). Some parts were a bit cheesy for me, but I could see it being realistic, especially with students recovering post-war by taking comfort in the little things such as love. Either way, great job on making this a feel-good story.

2nd Place at Pud's D/G Fic Contest! Five years ago, Draco Malfoy was offered sanctuary by his mother’s cousins in India. Now, with the death of his father, the Malfoys need an heir, and Narcissa sets out to find her son a wife through the aid of the far-seeing, fortune-telling Morcant sisters, who decide upon none other than Ginny Weasley. Seeing this offer as a means of escaping the horrible war that has descended upon England, Ginny accepts their proposition, and finds herself in a foreign land engaged to a Draco Malfoy who seems to be a strange mix of the old and the new.Category: Long and Completed

This story is so wonderful and in serious need of more reviews! Love the idea of this story! The fact that I'm a huge fan of "Groundhog Day" makes this story so much more endearing. My only wish was this story to be longer ;) but you wrapped up the ending perfectly! Thanks for the delightful read :)
Author's Response: You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the story! (And no worries, it has a feeew more reviews on FFN. ;)) There were a lot of things I wanted to do with this idea, but my looming deadline stifled me a little bit. I always had the intention of writing outtakes of the days that weren't covered in the actual story, but I never got around to it, unfortunately, and now I can't remember what those outtakes would have been. I really think this story could have benefited from being a little longer, too! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Absdushdbdj gahhh there's so much that I love about this chapter! Really liking the appearance of the trio (you write their characters spot on, btw) after only brief mentions of them from your past story. Also, George and Ginny's relationship made me smile :) While not exactly filling the void of Fred, I can see those two Weasleys being a lot closer personality-wise moreso than the other siblings. Your writing is such a good balance when it comes to feelings of happiness and moments of sadness; it really is a great way to depict what Ginny is going through emotionally. Love it so much. The last bit with Draco was also a nice, tender moment!
Date: Nov 24, 2014 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 - Diversion
I really, really loved the sneaky!Harry and Ginny scene. Very canon, and it reminded me as to what I really love about the Harry Potter books -- it's not so much as a mystery, but also an adventure. One thing that peeves me in fanfiction (especially in the Draco/Ginny fandom) is when authors write about Harry in a bad light. You avoided this flawlessly; Harry in your story is very much in character to the point where I sympathize him and want things to work out for him and Ginny as friends. Kudos to you. I can guess where Draco has to go into hiding ;) On to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Oh! Thanks so much! I agree that Harry is often puled very out of character in a lot of fanfics and I hate when that happens. Harry sees all the Weasleys as family, so I don't see that he's evil, just a little dense sometimes and it's a fun balance to play with. He does make more appearances in later chapters, and he's going to get a bit suspicious of Ginny's dealings with her professor. You'll have to let me know how I do with that. :) Thanks so much for the support! Best wishes

Date: Nov 24, 2014 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 -Detention
Gotta love jealous Draco. Another great chapter!
Date: Nov 24, 2014 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - Doubt
This chapter is just as great as the other ones! I thought the way Draco was acting was appropriate because it definitely reflects his personality. Hopefully he'll control his jealous tendencies after this encounter. It's so obvious that Ginny cares for him hehe.
Date: Nov 24, 2014 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Solesta
Refreshing to see Ginny being the jealous one. I thought it was hilarious that Draco was able to draw in that woman with his flirtatious moves. Please update soon!
Author's Response: Yeah... I think Draco enjoys giving her back some - so she knows how he felt about seeing her all friendly with Harry. He's forgiven her, but it doesn't mean he won't payback a bit. :) Glad you enjoyed.
The Girl With the Taxi Driver by Anise (Reviews - 49)
The war is over, and so is Draco Malfoy's world. He has run as far as he can, and now, as a taxi driver in a world that has no more magic, he has come to the end of the line... or so he thinks. But when he finds the former Ginny Weasley, he learns just how many mysteries remain to be solved... and how much hope can still be found.Category: Works in Progress
Chapter SEVEN quote of the day:
At three in the morning, Draco turns off the sign on top of his cab and pulls into the parking lot of the pancake house. He sees her small figure tucked into a seat in the corner table. It sends a pang of something like fear through him when he gets an inkling of just how happy he is to see her.
Ginny slides into a molded plastic seat. “I’m hungry. Want to split some pancakes?”
She eats ravenously when they arrive, tearing apart the pats of butter in their foil wrapping, ripping the cover off the sealed plastic pouches of syrup. “I shouldn’t have coffee this late. I’ll never get to sleep. I never do before five or six anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter.”
This casual Ginny. Flippant. She does not want him to feel sorry for her. She will not accept his pity. He admires her. He wonders just how many Ginnys there are. He wants to meet them all. That scares him, too.

Wonderful! I love 'Taxi Driver,' and your writing has a certain flair that definitely reminds me of the film. Will be looking forward to your next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) *Taxi Driver* has always seemed like such an iconic American film to me, and Paul Schrader's script is what really made it work. (Random bit of info: I was stuck in line at Starbuck's the other day and read a story on my new phone about his new film. Let's just say that Lindsay Lohan played a main character. =O Poor, poor man.) Anyway, more soon.
Why Quidditch Gear Should Be Banned by Boogum (Reviews - 6)
It was a truth universally acknowledged that Draco Malfoy was an arrogant tosspot who deserved to be pecked to death by magically modified penguins. It was also true that said tosspot happened to be extremely handsome, and looked far too good in his Quidditch gear for someone so prejudiced and unlikeable. Not that Ginny noticed.Category: Completed Short Stories
