BTW, how does one add a story to your favorites list? =D

All so believable and splendidly done. Wheee!

Draco's and Ginny's reunion was delicious. *smiles*

Sadly I have to go shower and get some sleep before work tomorrow, but I will definitely be finishing the story tomorrow night and reviewing as I go. I've never reviewed each and every chapter of a story, which is odd considering how long I've been reading them. I enjoy sharing my thoughts though, and this story is worth the time taken to do so.

Cheers!

Oh thank you. Thank you for making Ginny intelligent enough to realize the true reasons behind Draco's lashing out at her, instead of using it as some lame excuse to foster more tension and fighting between them to make the story falsely dramatic. What a relief! So many stories do that, and it just torques my hide.

I loved Ginny's seduction of him as well, though I half-wished she would have remained on top ;) I'm rather submissive myself, for the most part, but I enjoy seeing women in postions of power, so to speak *smirks lasciviously*

I continue to massively enjoy this story, and am so glad I discovered it. Thank you!

Bloody hell, you can't delete your own reviews. How annoying and embarrasing.

This is my favorite chapter so far! I loved the interaction between her and her siblings, and the bittersweet scene between her and Harry was delightfully well done. I would offer more specific critiques, but grammar and such is better done by betas, and as I haven't been requested to do such a thing--and as the story is also complete--I shall refrain from such nitpicking and just hop to the next chapter, which is what I prefer to spend my time doing anyway! =D

*claps excitedly* Bravo! I love it. Indulge me as I mention a few specifics and comment:

> "Shit," he whispered softly, "shit,
> shit, shit."

*laughs her arse off* His confusion and consternation here was positively delightful. However, I cannot like how he was rather sugary over her lips meant for kissing, hair meant for twirling, etc. Bleh. Bit too far off too soon. But no matter, the rest was lovely.

"odious" -- Oh I do so love this word! So aristocratic and pompous and yay! *giggles*

Calloused fingers? Hardly. Where on earth would he have gotten them? Certainly not from manual labor, nor Quidditch, wherein he wears protective gloves. Merely being male isn't enough, either. Those born with a silver spoon frequently have quite soft hands, some even going to an extreme of getting a manicure. Quite a few male professionals in the world see a manicurist on a regular basis. I myself go frequently, and my nail ladies have mentioned this to me. I could see Draco having a servant do his nails. No polish, but certainly clipped and filed and smoothed and buffed.

On a purely physical note, I do so love how you write their kisses. Yum! *grins* Yes, I'm very female. Romance novels are not below me (brain candy indeed!), as I enjoy a bit of pure seduction from time to time, and this qualifies nicely. =)

Finally, depreciations? Perhaps deprecations? Either would work, I suppose, however the latter has a better connotation for that context.

*skips off to the next chapter*

Mmmm sweet sexy ending. I enjoyed Draco's discomfiture during Ginny's crying, nicely portrayed. The pun was fantastic--more of this. Pure well-executed humour drastically lifts a fic above the rest, in a way I can't describe very well right now (I'm tired *smiles*), but it's worth the time. It lends a bit of verisimilitude to the world in which the characters exist, as humour is a universal link to humanity.

Wow, I sound quite pretentious. Right! Off to Chapter Three =)

I'm enjoying this immensely so far. The passage of Ginny's fifth year was a bit too quick for my liking--I enjoy details of each year *smirks* However I'm sure it was necessary for the progression of the story.

I like the way you're keeping Draco very canon; I can't stand it when people let him become all saccharin-sweet. He can certainly care, but it's terribly out of character for him to be solicitous in any way without a great amount of background to establish the reasons--i.e., his maturing in some way.

Last note: integrating? Perhaps you were searching for ingratiating. It happens =)

I go to read chapter two with much anticipation!

i actually started reading this story when it was still a work in progress on your site. i think i got up to the chapter where Snape disappears. i ended up reading teh whole thing through last night. i always liked the idea of ginny being still effected by what happened to her i her first year at hogwarts so this story always appealed to me.
i think i loved the thing about Draco wearing the jumper Molly knitted him best. :D if nothing else wins her over mmaybe that will. :D

I'm thrilled with the story in general. I just have a couple of pieces of constructive criticism.

First, earlier in the story you wrote that Mrs. Malfoy went to the "continent." America, right? In this chapter you say that she went to visit unknown cousins in Europe.

Second, it's just a silly spelling error, but I hate them in my own writing and naturally assume that others do as well. You say that Ginny slips down a couple more "stares" when it should have been "stairs."

I loved this story. You did a great job keeping the characters personalities true to the books. (I can never manage that.) Great job!

This was a very cute story!! I'm so happy it had a happy ending and I loved that you stayed true to Draco...even though he changed a little for Ginny he didn't change into a Harry Copy. Which would have stunk because Draco is our ultimate bad boy turned good for the girl he loves...sigh. Anyways, loved the story ^_^

That was fantastic. I'd never really understood the Draco/Ginny fandom, but this one does it brilliantly. I get it now! Thank you. :D

Absolutely outstanding story! I've loved it from beginning to end! I wish you would write a sequel but ah well! I'm going to read The Past Didnt Go Nowhere now! I've heard is a great story and if it turns out to be as great as this one, then I'm off to have a good time! Thankyou for writting this story and if you ever get bored and have nothing else to do i have a great idea...SEQUEL!
Keep up the great work!

I like this.... But you seem to have so much freetime... i mean writing this story all day long seems what your doing. I don't picture ginny with the loser named malfoy ( or that is how he is in my book) but it's the most wonderful time of the year.... sorry i ment it's the most wonderful STORY of the year.
