Even when I think I can't love this Draco more, I read the last part of this chapter and *squee* as he clearly loves Ginny so very much, even if he curses everyone and everything that caused their circumstances to be what they are.
Draco's characterisation is brilliant. His inner voice berating himself hits just the right balance of being self-critical without becoming whinging. Lines like:"The bloody stuff was obviously contagious and perilous to his health." and such are very Draco.

A couple of little things:
"All he knew was when everything when to hell in a handbasket, he was the one who ended up being fucked, royally screwed up the arse."
I think you meant to write "went" instead of "when" here (the second time it is used).
Also, in previous chapters you capitalized "veil" and here you don't. You are using it in the same manner. I'm not sure whether it is supposed to be capitalized or not, but I just thought I'd give you a heads up for consistency.
Other than that, it was fantastic. The thing about not reading fanfic for awhile -- all your favorite stories are updated once you have the time to return to all of it! I was so excited to see this one updated I couldn't contain my glee!
Author's Response: Thanks for pointing out those errors and inconsistencies. According to the HP Lexicon, veil is not capitalized - I had to check on that! They are both fixed now! I am notorious for reading right through things like that (and much worse!). However, I am thrilled to finally have a beta to help me!!! Yeah, Marcia!!! Thanks for your review, MrsDanielRadcliffe!

It's all so tragically beautiful and extremely well-written. Quite poetic, actually. Can't wait for the next chapter! Please let Ginny wake up! She needs to explain the child she's carrying!
Author's Response: Thanks. Ginny does have a lot of explaining to do, that's for sure! Glad you're enjoying this one. -fallenwitch

aaww.. draco seems so sweet in this chapter, so endearing.
I'm still kind of lost as to when the story is taking place.
I almost can;t wait until the battle between harry and voldemort. that should be an interesting chapter.lol.
ginny doesnt have harry's baby does she? That would prolly be the ultimate blow to draco. *shiver* That would be scary.
Please keep going! It's awesome!

Author's Response: Well, he still loves her inspite of everything. He just can't help himself. This story was supposed to start at the end of Draco's seventh year and so this chapter would be about two and a half years after that. However, the timing is one of the plot HOLES I spoke about. The HBP blew through my plot. Will Draco even be at Hogwarts his seventh year? So I decided to ignore that part and hope readers would let me go with the premise that Draco and Ginny had a preWar relationship - period. Hope that helps. Thanks again for your reviews! - fallenwitch

I Said FIX it!! NOT MAKE IT WORSE ARGGGG !!! She needs to wake up and say she is caring Ron's kid for Hr because she couldn't bear kids or something like that. So he will forgive her and life can go on.
Author's Response: Oh. Sorry. I'll keep working on it. (Actually I laughed so hard when I read your review that I thought I was going to fall right off my chair!) Thanks for your review and your outrage. I appreciate them both. -fallenwitch

Thank you. Thank you!
I loved this story so much when you first published it and I am so glad you've decided to give it life once more. I'm also overjoyed at the changes made to chapter 3. Poor Draco.
"he pulled the fallen witch into his arms" 'fallen witch' hehe.
Author's Response: You're welcome! And thank you for being one of the two people reading it way back when! Let me know what you think of this time around. Did you know that you are the first person to comment on the "fallen witch" phenomenon, even though I've been putting it in since Quidditch and snuck it in my latest story, Along Came A Wizard as well? Congratulations, now there are two of us in on that secret! -fallenwitch

I can't really remember much of the first version of this story, though I am pretty sure I read it at the time. But I am glad you decided to resurrect it. This is quite intense! I can't wait to find out the explanations and what will come next.

I am just itching to know who the father is! Poor Draco! You really conveyed the pain he feels well. Will we also be seeing things from Ginny's POV too? I've noticed most of your fics are from Draco's POV (definitely not a bad thing, but it'll be nice to see things from Ginny's POV too. Maybe her style of thoughts will be different from Draco's. This fic is definitely off on a good start, but if you do feel it's going to crash and burn, you could manipulate Ginny's character, to get things from a different perspective. Anyway, hope it doesn't crash and burn! Take care.
Author's Response: Hmmm... I don't know about that one. I really suck at writing from Ginny's POV, but I'll give serious thought to giving it a shot in this one. Nothing is crashing or burning yet so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! -fallenwitch

Wow! You have such amazing ways with words. I've loved all your stories... like Along Came a Wizard (which I am waiting patiently for an update) but even as much as I loved them... none of them have been written in this way -- your words are beautiful, the feelings and emotions are deep and brooding and I feel them easily when I read... This chapter was fabulous. You really can feel his heart break -- knowing everything that is important to him is lost.... Just amazing. Now, I'm just hoping it's Ginny carry a surrogate baby for Tonks or something... she was raped (horrible thought...) or that she did in fact have a time turner.... Hmmmm... PLEASE PLEASE don't make it Scarhead's baby... I think that would kill Draco!
Author's Response: **falls over in a dead faint from the compliments** Thanks so much for the kind and generous words, jandjsalmon! And I loved the way you didn't even bother calling him Harry, just went straight for the name we all think of him as - "Scarhead"!!! I agree, that would probably kill Draco. Thanks for your wonderful review. I loved every word of it! -fallenwitch
