So sweet *_*!
How can you think I can believe he deliberately hurt her? Surely, there is a reason that we don't know... and I also recall that he was so sad that she showed up in the cellar. Probably because he knew what he had to do against her. Surely he loves her, but we all know that your Draco won't ever be stopped by anything and anyone, especially if he is sure he's doing the right thing.
Even if I can't really accept he hurt his love...
Apart from that, it's perfectly clear your explanation about Ginny's flashbacks and narrator's flashback's... and, at least now we know how it happened that Ginny got involved with the Italian minister.
So, the mysterious sword should be Excalibur? But you're talking about the one from the legends? In that case, how it happened that its fate is related with the Wizarding World? And it wasn't thrown in the Lake? How it was taken and brought in a cellar in Italy?
LOL, as usual, too many questions... I can't wait to read the next chapter! Keep up the good work!
