OMFG this is the worst story i have ever wriiten im not trying to be mean or anything but come on its way too sappy and unrealistic and are u serious i doubt ginny would give up her virginity to someone she hated half her Hogwarts years and has only remotely liked for 2 days i kno other fics do that-make them have sex-but there usually oneshots

Author's Response: first of all, if you are going to dish out harsh criticism like that, it should at least make sense. secondly, it is the not the worst story you have ever "wriiten", it is the worst story you have ever "read". thirdly, my guess is you have never bothered to write a story yourself, and if you have, it was probably torn apart as bad as you tore apart this story, considering you can't tell the difference between reading and writing. finally, if you've bothered to read my responses to other reviews like yours, i fully admit that there are major discrepancies in time, etc. however, i will no longer waste my time explaining; go ahead and read them (although my guess is you don't care anyway)...

I think the story is alright, but I think Draco's character is way too OOC. I just can't imagine him switching gears so quickly from absolutely loathing the Weasleys to be so understanding of Ginny's problems. Yes, I know he sympathizes with her, but I could sympathize for my worst enemy and still not be understanding in a blink of an eye. I think this has the potential to be a really great story, but I think the problems lie with the pacing. Draco is too nice too fast, and both he and Ginny become attached to fast. It just feels rushed. I still think it's a good story though, and kudos to you for writing it.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I know Draco is way OOC and the entire plot is very soap opera-ish, and the plot is definitely rushed. However, this was my first stroy and trust me I have learned alot, and have thought about alot of things that I feel need to be changed. Once I finish the sequel (or perhaps if I need a change of pace), I plan on redoing the first few chapters and possibly adding chapters in between what is already written. I'd really like to thank you for your constructive criticism rather than just how much you hated my story - it's a nice change. p.s. Sorry about how late this response is, but I'm just now taking the time to catch up on these.

very interesting, draco was very interesting, is there a sequel?

Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and I'm glad the story interested you. I definitely tried to make Draco a little out of character - I think it makes him interesting too. And there is a sequel it is called Something Real and I'm going to try and post it sometime in the next few days, so be watching for it!
