Oh. My. God! I can't wait to see what happens when THE HP comes in and Ginny has to choose between being with the Slytherin Sex God (hee) or worshipping HP.

Author's Response: THE HP? Lol, I like that... HP vs SSG.

You've turned my brain into a pile of mush. I think that, in itself, is a compliment of the highest sorts. This story is so amazing, I still can't get over how freakin well you write Draco. And the lust and tension between him and Ginny is completely swoon-worthy. I love it. Amazing job. I can't wait to see what happens now that Harry has arrived!

Author's Response: Ooohh, a pile of mush you say? That is a high compliment. Thank you very much. Things will get pretty tense for a while with Harry around.

Today I re-read your entire story and I think you have a wonderful way with words. I love that Draco is jealous of Potter and I am excited to see how the little Burrow holds up under the added tension of Harry. BTW, have you written anything else? I would love to read more of your writing.

Author's Response: Wow, I like your dedication! I haven't written any other D/G fiction, sadly. This is my first try.

I think I like this story better every chapter. You seem to increase the layers of emotion between Draco and Ginny a little more each time. I can't wait to see what will happen when Harry gets added to the mix...

Author's Response: I believe in taking things slow. Too many people lunge from chapter to chapter like a runaway train, and they loose pieces along the way.

Oh, oh! This is wonderful. I love the characterization in this story, it's so different from most, but very beleivable. Draco's character is especially well drawn, I can't wait to see how he develops and how Harry treats Ginny, and visa versa in the upcoming chapter. Please keep up the wonderful writing. cheers, sweetp

Author's Response: Thank you very much. I worked hard on trying to keep Draco in character.

Author's Response: Glad to hear you're aboard the ship. Gotta love D & G.

I'm always excited to read another one of your chapters, and this one definitely didn't disappoint! I like how the story is realistic (i.e., canon characters, etc.), and I can't wait to see what happens. Update soon, plz!

Author's Response: Thank you.

I would question you calling it cliche...and if it is, then your writing is so good that it doesn't matter. That was a very intense chapter and I was upset, yet relieved that you ended it where you did. It was so emotionally wrenching...the terrible screams, the peaceful slumber, the sexually charged play for dominance...that I don't think I could have taken anymore. However, don't get me wrong, I definitely want more chapters...and soon!! Keep up the good work and take care of yourself! *Elle* (http://www.livejournal.com/users/elle_blessing)

Author's Response: I love a good HG/SS. Thank you again, and I'm really happy that you're enjoying the story! ^_^

I love your story. Your Draco is realistic for fan fiction: he can't quite let go of his family and prejudices, no matter how lovely and womblike the Weasely's house seems. I also want to thank you for your recommendations. "An Ideal Deatheater" has long been one of my favorite stories, one that I fear won't be finished. Your story reminds me of it, if Draco had spent more time at the Weasley's. "Rising from Ashes" is new to me and I spent too much time today happily reading it. Thank you for your story and please update as soon as possible.

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked the recommendations.

sont worry about it i love hermione and snape pairings. this chapter is by far the best chapter so far (even though it was the shortest) i love the new wanton ginny nothing less for draco!!

Author's Response: I love HG/SS too.

'"This is all wrong..." she whispered aloud, even as she ran a hand down his slender arm. "This is all very wrong." She tangled her fingers with his.' Ah...this is wonderful! The denial, and yet, fate moves forward. I really love your character development.

Author's Response: Thanks. I just took it slow.

I've been meaning to read this story since it first popped up on the recently added list, but I didn't get around to it until tonight. Suffice it to say, I'm hooked. Dead-on characterizations. Original plot. Dialogue, narration, everything just flows. Very well written and the imagery is fantastic. All that aside, however, this is the Draco that makes me love this pairing. I love the OOC Draco just as much most of the time (considering I usually write him OOC myself), but your Draco is just -- just pure, unadulterated Malfoy. It's stories like this, in my mind, that really support a canon D/G. Amazing job. Can't wait for the next installment...and on a baser note, can't wait for the sex!

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I really tried to keep Draco just that - pure.

Very good! keep up the good work! DONT STOP WRITING! Its such a shame when great writers leave unfinished stories.

Author's Response: Have no fear. The story is already finished. There are twenty-three chapters in all. It's just a matter of having my beta edit them, then formatting them correctly.

Hey, I really like this story so far! I like the how the image of Draco is protrayed. Can't wait for the nest chpater. A lot of talent, you've got!

Author's Response: Thanks.

Okay, so many things to comment on, first Draco polyjuiced as Ron...very nice. In Gringotts, Draco made reference to something with regard to Ginny and called himself a liar (damn my short term memory, I can't remember it exactly) but I loved the line. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for not having Draco sleep w/ Ginny in her room, I just don't think it's the right time (not that I'm writing the story or have any impact at all...just my two cents!) Oh, I almost forgot, Arthur hugging Draco at the bank...WONDERFUL and very Weasley-ish! Also, in general, I love the way you use words and such...it makes the story flow nicely. I believe I read in the reviews of the last chapter that you were done with this story, THAT made me very happy, I hate to get wrapped up in a story just to have the author drop off the face of the earth. I don't mind waiting if I know it's coming!

Author's Response: Thanks. Please try not to give away too much in the reviews. I don't want to spoil it for other people, lol. ^_^ I'm glad you're enjoying the story though. More is coming quickly.

Holy crap, this story is so freakin good! I love all of the interactions between Draco and Ginny - intense and just plain squeal-worthy lol. But I love how you've mangaged to keep Draco in character through everything - his interactions with Ginny, his giving money to Arthur - you pull off his personality so well. Uh oh, he's finally being called! Ah, I can't wait to see what happens next. Amazing.

Author's Response: Squeal worthy, I love that! I've actually read fics that did just that - make me squeal - when it got good. Thanks for the compliment.
