Oh! That was absolutely breath-taking! One of the most beautiful sex scenes I have ever read. Wow!
On a much more mundane note, I really like your characterization of Goyle. That he is both more intellegent and more compassionate than expected is really quite refreshing.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like Gregory. And thank you for the high praise about the sex scene. I was worried it wasn't 'smutty' enough for smut, but it was more for the emotional then the physical anyway.

Yes! Yes! Yes!! No I'm not joining in, I'm cheering because he's in luuuuurrrrvveee!!! Sorry, I feel all squee-y and girly right now. I know that his realization is going to lead to a lot of complications, but I am too excited to care. For now, anyway. He loves her, he loves her, he loves her. Teehee. Sorry. Anyways, so the chapter got really good when she went to see him. I thought the sex scene was excellently done--so sweet--and possibly the best part of the chapter, although Neville's cameo was pretty good, too. I'm a real sucker for a well-done Neville. I am not sure what the argument with Ron was for, though. Are we going to see repercussions from the rumors that Ginny's roommates will probably now be spreading? Oooh, I hope so, and I hope they come with lots of angst. Sigh. Thanks for posting, you made my night. Really, really.
Author's Response: Ron's scene was mainly to show that he's still involved, he cares, and that her choices affect him as well.
I enjoy a good dose of Neville now and then. He's such a sweetheart... I'm glad I made your night!

WOnderful chapter. Very stupid of Ron to burst out what he did about Hermione and Snape, I have to wonder if that will bring bad repercusions latter. I like the fact you have made Goyle a little smarter on the inside than he appears. I think we all underestimate him and Crabbe, just like people do Neville and Luna. The scene with Draco and Ginny was brilliant. The fact there were no words made it all the better. And that he knows he loves her, well it made my heart do a little flutter. This was another fantastic chapter, I am loving this fic!
Author's Response: Words would have been too much, I believe. Sometimes silence is golden.

Nice nice nice. I have been rabidly following this fic, and I LOVE it. I love and admire the way that you have Draco evolve in a way that...only his feelings for Gin change dramatically. Pansy is a good antagonist; a night to Ginny's day. I hope you don't have Blaise rape Gin or something...he's so nice and sensual (I like to think) in mine!! I can NOT wait to read the next chapter!!
Author's Response: Expect the unexpected from Blaise, but, don't expect *too* much unexpected.

Loved this chapter! I really enjoyed how dreamy-Luna noticed something is happening between Draco and Ginny. And Draco stating that he understood his father better than ever was fantastic. The way you write about Draco's longing and his obsession to consume Ginny is wonderful. Also, I loved how Ginny is very open with her family. There are too many stories with Ginny feeling left out and unloved by her family; it's great to see her as a young woman, confused about her feelings, in love, close to her family, and giving all that she is. I love that Draco didn't scoff the old cufflinks, but kept them in his jewelry box. And YAY! for hellebore! I'm wondering though . . . when is Blaise going to make his move? Oh, also, Draco's Slytherin friends' loyalty is fabulous. Makes me smile :) Amazing chapter, per usual! G'luck with everything and have a lovely day!
Author's Response: Thank you! Have a lovely day yourself! Draco is such a dark character. He's a shadow, despite his pretty looks.

You have simply got to update ASAP! I am in love with this story. It's refreshing to read something so well written. In the words of P. Dumbldore, it's much like finding a galleon when you where looking for a knut.
Happy writing,

P.S
just between us, I think that Draco is full of floberworm poo, and IS in love with Ginny.
Author's Response: Thank you! The updates are coming. I don't know about the flobberworm doo, though... I think he's really quite convinced.

You continue to amaze =). I thought the passage when Draco was standing atop the Astronomy Tower was really, really good. There was a lot of deep introspection going on there...You make the story so much more by giving all the characters so much emotion and complexity...love it. So, Ginny's decided to become Draco's lover...and Arthur and Bill know about her affection for him...hmmmm.. This could definitely get interesting. I have a feeling that R rating is going to go into effect soon =). I loved that this last chapter was so long...here's hoping for the next chapter =)...Love, Hugs and Chocolate Kisses

I think the Astronomy Tower scene reads better after your edit.

I liked Bill. A lot. Ginny's easy confidence with her family is rather unusual for a person like me, who could never talk to her parents about such things, to read. But I won't say that it's not credible, since my best friend is exactly that way. Ooh, just a few things to comment on: the sentence about Draco being destructively in love was made by you, or some omniscient narrator, right? Definitely NOT by Draco? And also, what "time" were the Slytherins (great scene, btw) talking about approaching for Draco? I thought he'd spoken out against Voldemort...am I just forgetting things? Lastly, I wanted to point out that great metaphor you used describing Draco and Ginny's first meeting--"his voice a screaming book." So excellent, and only appropriate for Ginny. Oh, I lied, one more thing: just a general comment, this chapter has me very, very worried. Draco's saying he would never let her go after she came to his bed, Snape's worry for Draco, the likeness between Draco's and his father's obsessions...Of course, in this fic Lucius isn't so clear-cut bad, but he's still evil enough for me to worry for Draco's sake. Sigh.
Author's Response: I think in a tight knit family like the Weasleys, it would be easy to confide in one another. I hope I've gotten their warmth and love to come across. I actually went and edited that tower scene a bit, because I never meant for it to say such things so... openly. It was supposed to be a narrator sort of thing, but I have edited it a bit now. The 'time' the Slytherin's are speaking of is supposed to be kind of foreshadowing, but it will become clear in later chapters. It's probably a good thing to be worried about Ginny... But only time will tell.

Let me say that there is nothing hotter that a possessive Draco. And the fact that he missed Ginny means he must be doing good on that ten step course "Learning to Cope When You Find Yourself In Love". He admits he's obsessed with her which instantly puts him on step five and now since they're (I'm hoping) going to shag each other's brains out in the next chapter or so.. that would at least put him on step seven or eight. Yet, during this all he remains in character. Still don't know how you do it, but it's perfect nonetheless. And since there is slight hope for smut in the next chapter or two, and I'm a confessed smut addict, I will really REALLY be looking forward to your next posts. Well now that I've rambled my way through this comment and given you the praise you deserve let me say that this was a great update, as always (you rarely dissapoint) and I will look forward to future updates. ;) ::tink::
Author's Response: Thank you as always... And the smut is on its way.

Where to begin. This is such a good story. First off, i am really enjoying the long chaps. Your story is meaty with strong discriptions and solid plot points. Next, I've enjoyed reading your discriptions of all the Syltherin politicing (is that a word?). I think you have the Slyth's down pat. I can very well pitcure them doing all these manuvers to get the desired effects. Finally. your D/G interaction is priceless. There is so much drama regarding this pair which is why i enjoy reading them. You have really put forth a very plausible explaination as to why nice-ginny would be interested in evil-draco. I cant tell you how much i love your draco character. You have him so to canon it scares me. I am so glad you remember how evil he can be. You ginny has ths subtle strength that works well here. I think she comes off smarter than draco when it comes to their feelings. I'm looking forward to a little more development of your Blaise character in future chapters but all in all i think the story is comming along very nicely. i am very looking forward to your update. speaking of which, while waiting for an update on your piece i happend to read "An ideal deatheater" by "sing to angels". thanks for the recommendation! what a fantastic piece.
Author's Response: Is it politicing? I have no idea. I really liked your 'so canon it scares me' comment, because I think Draco's pretty scary in this fic. He's an evil person. He's a *bad* person. But, even bad people fall in love, so I wanted to show what that would be like. I'm glad you're liking everything so much!
