As the unintended Captain of the most despised Auror squad, can Draco Malfoy lead his band of Slytherins through Death Eater attacks and threats from the Ministry? Definitely not. At least, not without the help of his reluctant Lieutenant: Ginny Weasley. Inconveniently, the last person he'd ever ask.Category: Long and Completed

Date: Sep 12, 2014 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Yaxley
Loving the action scene in this chapter! Can't wait til the next!
Author's Response: That makes me so happy! I stressed like crazy over writing action in a way that was follow-able, so hearing it worked is fantastic news :)
Date: Sep 15, 2014 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Prologue
Great backstory! :)
Date: Sep 20, 2014 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Repercussions
Your dialogue scenes between Ginny and Draco...always on point! Also that was too cruel of a cliffhanger :( Absolutely cannot wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope it's worth the wait! :D
Date: Oct 14, 2014 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Illnesses and Ice Cream
Another early update -- love it! Can I tell you how incredibly excited I am about the build-up of Draco and Ginny's relationship? Hehehe. So glad that they're starting to slowly develop feelings for each other ;)
Great action scene, although brief! And happy to see Snape featured in this chapter as well :) You wrote his personality pretty spot on. Another good job on another great chapter!
Date: Oct 27, 2014 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Surprises
Oh my god. Love this chapter! Thanks for the anticipated scene hehe.
Date: Nov 02, 2014 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Trying Something New
Hahaha what a perfect movie date! Love how the banter between them hasn't changed. Ooooo next chapter seems like it'll be pretty intense - can't wait!
Date: Dec 03, 2014 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Intrusions
Hahaha Narcissa cracked me up in this chapter :D Another well-written chapter :)
Date: Dec 07, 2014 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Hard Truths
So sweet that Draco cares about Ginny so much! I really liked the Daphne and Ginny moment at the end as well :)
Date: Sep 24, 2014 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Malfoy Manor
Woohoo! So glad that you were able to upload this one quite quickly :) I adored the lake scene and I love how they came to understand more about each others' reasonings on becoming an Auror. I also like how you've been consistent on including interaction scenes with the other Slytherins -- especially Warrington, who I rarely read about in fanfics...Hmm I wonder how loyal he might be? Time will tell hehe. As always, looking forward to your next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! :D I'm so glad you like Warrington. I love including little slices of humor from him to flesh out the team more.
Date: Sep 29, 2014 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Maladies & Maneuverings
Glad to know Blaise is okay! Also, gahhh, your cliffhangers. Good to know another chapter will be posted this week ;)
Author's Response: I do love fun cliffhangers. And don't worry, this won't be the last of them ;) *maniacal laughter*
Date: Oct 05, 2014 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Weekly Weasley Welcome
I loved how the Slytherins were able to win over Mrs. Weasley from the start with their gifts (I thought it was humorous when each of them whipped out an item) and especially the back and forth tension and ease at the dinner table. Very well executed :D Also, yay more progress for the squad! Glad to see that they're taken a little more seriously now.
Date: Oct 07, 2014 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Irish Incident
That slime scene. Perfection. Your imagery was spot on! Loved the scene between Draco and Ginny at the end as well. Hehehe I like that he's becoming more and more comfortable with her :) Also, yay for a speedy update this week!
Date: Nov 14, 2014 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14: A Party of Aurors
Wow, I gotta say, this has been one of my favorites. It was great adding those little bits of canon material throughout this chapter! I liked how you kept Draco true to his character and hasn't magically started getting along with everyone at once. Loved the whole party scene and also good balance between the interaction of characters. Of course, I should have expected that something amiss would happen by the end of the chapter -- was not disappointed.

Date: Oct 05, 2014 Title: Chapter 1: Warmth
You write so beautifully. I loved that your format wasn't linear -- I went back to read it a second time -- and it helped to capture the different stages in their relationship. I'm a sucker for happy endings, but I knew what to expect at the end, and I still loved it. Also, I've never read about Blaise in this kind of way before - very arrogant and sadistic, but you pulled it off well. Good work :) I could definitely see myself coming back to this story over and over again.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't like to write Blaise this way. ;o; I prefer to write him more sophisticated or a little silly, but since his character wasn't developed well in canon, sometimes I like to write him as not getting along with Draco to some degree. I'm glad he worked for you in this story! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. n_n
More Than You Think You Are by idreamofdraco (Reviews - 52)
When Ginny wakes up as a patient—and Draco Malfoy's roommate—in St. Mungo's, all she has are questions. Without answers, they turn to each other to stay sane, but the edge of madness looms close. In the Janus Thickey Ward, it's impossible to hide from what you are.Category: Long and CompletedWritten for SunnyStorms in the DG Forum's Summer 2013 Fic Exchange, and winner of the Most Creative, Best Response to the Prompt, and Best Characterization of Draco awards. :)

Date: Jan 24, 2015 Title: Chapter 9: Nine: Release
Man, you're a pretty freaking incredible writer :) Absolutely can't wait for the last chapter.
Author's Response: Ohmygosh. Thank you!! More in about a week!
Date: Jan 20, 2015 Title: Chapter 8: Eight: First Date
Wow wow wow... This is by far my favorite chapter! Excellent work :) Loved the build up of Draco's emotions in this.
Author's Response: Thank you!!! More soon!!
Date: Mar 05, 2015 Title: Chapter 10: Ten: Goodbye
I'm glad Ginny was able to have some sort of closure with Harry, though it wasn't the happiest. Great chapter, and well worth the wait. Also, please don't tell me that was the end. There's gotta be more! >: Since this hasn't been labeled as completed yet, I'm hoping you still have another chapter to gift us.
Author's Response: Yes, there's one more chapter (fingers crossed that there isn't more than that, though I'm very tempted to keep expanding!). XD As I was rewriting some things, the chapter kept getting longer, so I figured I would just split it in two. I'm glad you enjoyed this part!
Date: Jan 02, 2015 Title: Chapter 5: Five: On the Edge
:( Man, that last part of this chapter seemed pretty grim. Great update though!
Author's Response: Thank you!! I hope chapter six makes up for the grimness of five, and I wish I could say it will be smooth sailing from this point forward... ;)
Date: Jan 03, 2015 Title: Chapter 6: Six: Pulling Back
Gahhh that last sentence
Author's Response: Yes! I'm so glad you appreciate the last sentence! Draco says some pretty unexpectedly nice things to Ginny in this story, and this is one of the things that he says that I really love. n_n
Date: Jan 03, 2015 Title: Chapter 6: Six: Pulling Back
Whoa some of my review got eaten up o.O haha. Well what I said was great bonding moments throughout this chapter :) I especially like that last sentence!
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter! Thanks so much for leaving a review (or two ;D)!
