Well that sort of makes me happy! I never really liked the Harry/Ginny thing...sort of more of a brother/sister vibe to me...but I guess I'll have to live w/ JK Rowlings wacky twists. I love this story! It's great! And completely believable so far! I can't wait for more!

I've said it before (and I'll probably say it again,) but I really, really love this fic. :) There's so much to it. And you do a good job of striking a balance for Draco-- he's genuinely sympathetic, but there's also something truly creepy about him. He feels the pricking of his conscience, he's not a cartoon-y villain, but he's ruthless, too. He wants Ginny and he's going to have Ginny, and I doubt that anything is going to cause him to hold back from what he wants. Looking forward to more!

i so love this version of your story, not that the other one was bad-it's just that, from what i can remember, draco seems more determined to make her love him. again, this is from all i remember haha. this was a great update! is draco going to stop feeding her the potion soon after because if i were gin i would be really betrayed if he forced her love and draco, i don't think he'd be all too happy to have gin's feelings, although of love, be generated by a potion. hopefully, things will work out for them. i love it!!! more soon, please!!!

Marvellous! The one thing I feel could use improving, is that Ginny's reaction to the love potion somehow doesn't seem right. Remember in the HBP, Ron was a lot more.. affected? Well, since Snape brewed an incredibly strong one, probably stronger than the one Ron took, I think Ginny should be more.. gah, no right words come to mind. I'm sorry. Hope you'll unerstand what I mean!
Oh, and Draco has got his work cut out for him. Looking forward to see how he's going to go about it!
Author's Response: Actually the issue of Ginny's immediate response to the effects of the potion was one I wrestled with. My treatment of it was based on my feeling that Ginny would be overwhelmed by the rush of feeling and would likely immediately focus on the fact that they were to be married. Also the chapter is more from Draco's perspective than from Ginny's so I alluded to rather than described her reactions (her chattering and the comments of how she loved him). Her reactions will be much more of a focus in the next chapter, The Consummation, as in my mind, they'll set up a paradox for Draco. I was very taken in HBP of how Merope Gaunt eventually stopped dosing her husband in the hope his love would become real and not potion-induced. Thank you for reading and for your review.

Awesome story you have here. I like how Draco's obsession isn't one of those...less appealing ones as far as obsessions go. Not that this one has any sort of justifications for being extremely appealing, its just refreshing :) You're doing a wonderful job on this story and keep up the updates!

the battle did make sense-don't worry. i liked that you did a short thing on the battle because in the end, people will get hurt and die and harry will of course, come out victorious, so what's the point in spending so much time over it. for this story, i think the plot begins to really change. in the beginning, there is enough plot and intrigue to get readers into the story, especially with draco's feelings, but i think that this scene brings all that together because now, we get to see some interaction between the two, besides in the cafe. great as usual! can't wait for some more!!!

it chapter is well written and makes sense, i wonder how ginny's going to cope knowing harry has enough love of her in him to defeat voldermort but she's married to draco.

GYAH! how is it that I never saw this all-new version? I remember reading the first chapter of the first version, years ago it seems. Even before this site was set up, wasn't it? Anyway. This is certainly a very very improved version, with more - flesh, if you will - in it. Love Potions. Good grief! And Snape making it, too. I can't imagine how Draco'll be able to keep her from telling anyone, or kneeing him in the groin. Probably worse, since it's going to be actual marriage she's being duped into. Ginny is a great character here, too. Very capable. Very effective too, it would seem. I like this kind of Ginny a LOT. Okay. Enough rambling. Suffice to say, I shall be waiting and following this fic. :)

The way you're setting up the tensions in this fic is truly fascinating, because they're real-- they're not based on some stupid misunderstanding, or stubbornness, or any of the motivations we so often see for why Draco and Ginny don't just admit their eternal twu wuv, already. ;) Ginny would never marry Draco in a zillion years of her own free will, and when the love potion wears off, her anger will be fearsome to behold. How can Draco really win her over? And he's obsessed with her, but I don't think this Draco really knows how to love anyone (yet.) So how is he going to learn? Can't wait to see where this goes!

I'm really glad to see you reworking this instead of abandoning it - I enjoyed it before, but it'll make a fabulous post-HBP story with your revisions. Intriguing start! I'm anxious for more.

Boy, I am so so so angry for Ginny's sake. Snape is such a little sh*t. Draco seems so, well, pathetic, that I can't blame him as much as I blame Snape, who is doing all this...why? So Lucius Malfoy can live a normal life? Oh, the irony. And then the fact that she's been so hurt by Harry. Her life sucks. I hope there will be some uplifting parts of this story. Either way I'll keep reading, but...poor Ginny.
