This chapter was even more interesting than the last, I think. I liked the realism in the argument between Draco, Ginny and Harry. The taunts were very much in-character, especially for their ages. *rolls eyes at immature teenage boys* Hehe, but really, it was good.

I liked the part at the end, when Ginny comes after Draco. It's interesting that Ginny didn't take Draco's hand. I wonder if she would have if he had confirmed being friends? Hmm, I suppose we can only wonder..

I hope that you'll update soon!

Oh! I *like* this fic! Sorry, that sounded so weird, but I really like this story. I'm a runner myself, and I have to say it never crossed my mind that Ginny might be, but now that it has it really fits her! And wow, the whole thing is just really well written. Very streamlined, you could say. No big arguments, even with the punching, it all stays simple and neat. I like fics where D/G don't have nasty banter before getitng to be friends. This was nice and to the point. I'm rambling. In any case, great job, can't wait for an update!

This is such a great story, very original plot. :)

This is turning out very, very well! I look forward to the next chapter.

i like this. being friends with a runner, they are creatures of habit and get cranky when they miss a day. i can certainly see d + g running every day. i like your in-character draco a lot..keep going.

I'm so enjoying this little story. I tend to be (oddly, I know) very cognizant of verb tense in a fic. If it doesn't flow right, it takes away from the story and I generally don't like things written in present tense. This one really works though - I like how you weave the present "as he nears the tree" with past "she had labelled them". It just flows nicely. That's probaby bizarre feedback but it really struck me as a strong point of the story. I look forward to more.
