Can I just say that in a world where no Harry Potter exists, a Ginny Weasley with a scar on her forehead make me laugh like crazy?
Maybe it's just me. I should get some sleep instead of trying to finish this all in one night.

THANK GODS! I was waiting forever for there to be a little trace of romance mixed in somewhere!
Author's Response: Oh, there's been romance before, but it's been horribly twisted and can only be considered 'romance' in the bizarro world in which this story takes place!

For the love of all that is holy you simply have to update this as soon as you can humanly devise...every day I check to see if chapter 8 is up...to no avail! None! The story is too good! too good! You must must must update soon.
Author's Response: I'm trying!! Soon, I promise... I've already got 14 pages written, just a little more to go!

I have to admit, I 'm addicted to this. It's better than Starbucks. Lol. But I just realized that Blaise doesn't have any concern for Ginny after she gets hurt because he never asks how she is or anything. Nobody really does, but Draco. And I'm an absolute mess right now because I can't stop squeeing because this is so romantic and awesome and so fluffy!
Becuase even though Blaise is nice to her and she counts him as a friend, and even Cho is really nice to her and everything, they don't ask how she is. But Draco who is supposed to hate her (But of course we know he just wants to shove her up against a wall and snog her silly . . . ) is the only one who notices and actually cares.
Heh heh. This adds even more squee-age to the chapter. I hope you realized you've unleashed a chapter absolutely saturated in fluff here, lol.
Author's Response: Starbucks is evil.
And YES!!! He doesn't seem overly concerned with her well-being, and silly, kind-hearted Cho invited her to a party while she's standing there with a broken wrist! Only Draco really noticed, because he sees everything (which Ginny notices, and HATES because she thinks he can only see her weaknesses).
It IS complete fluff, but it's completely TWISTED fluff, and that's why this CRACK AU has made me its slave.

One word.... amazing. I have never heard of Hana Yori Dango, but after this I will surely look it up. Your characters are so powerful, and the emotions you put into it show through when reading. Im addicted.
Author's Response: Thank you! And I do strongly recommend check HYD out. It's a lot more fluffy and funnier than this fic, but it's SO very great, and easily addicting!

OH MY GOD. i've always hoped that someone would turn Hana Yori Dango into a DG fic. are you planning on following the hana yori dango plot & story line exactly?? oh, and have you seen the taiwanese version of hana yori dango- meteor garden? sorry, i'm having a bit of a fangirl moment here. my two favorite obsessions, together in one fic... squee! okay i'm off to read your other fics : ) can't wait for your next update!
Author's Response: It's just SO D/G fic brought to life, it just had to be written! I've seen all version I could find: most of the anime, all of the Japanes dorama, and all of Meteor Garden. I'm not sure how much exactly I'll be following the plot line. I have it mapped out to certain point, and then after that, I'm torn how I'm going to proceed. But even as I follow the plot, there'll really only be certain points, like MAJOR events, that will be included, and everything else will be twisted around in order to fit the HP/AU world.

Don't you just love it when you get addicted to your own fiction? It just gives you that heady, dopamine-releasing feeling. ; ) I think I'm addicted by now as well. Love the AU; it's hard to pull off, but great when you can! Waiting patiently (kind of) for the next update! ~ Andi

Hope.Hope.Hope. You've done it in this chapter. This is the turning point of the story. Whether Ginverva and Draco become friends, or become complete enemies. I am both shocked and in awe that Ginerva would allow him to get close enough to touch her after he'd just tried to curse her into oblivion. Until she was "saved" by Blaise in his own unique way.
The part of the story that really struck me, was when Ginerva asked him hadn't he done enough to her when he'd cornered her. I wasn't expecting that because she'd put up this brave front whenever they'd come into contact that his actions hadn't affected her when in actuality they did. That was my fave part. Thanks so much for the story Hope. I look forward to your next update.
Author's Response: Poor Ginny had nothing left to fight with by that point, she had no choice but to let him close.
Thank you so much. I also really enjoy that line, because it shows how vulnerable she really is, despite the brave front, and the fact that it's Draco who sees her at this point... well, it's all a part of my "master plan" *evil laugh*

I'm glad you're addicted to this fic, because I most certainly am. It's far past midnight and I have to work tomorrow morning, but that seemed such a small problem when I had such a wonderful fic to read. Frankly, I can't think of what to critize, though I usually make a point of noting something. So, you got off easy today: three cheers for you. I hope you keep up the wonderful work you're doing.

Lovely stuff! This fic keeps getting better and better, and this is my favorite chapter as well because of the sweet D/G action. I can't wait for the next part, even though it won't be for another two weeks. :/ It's very well-written, and the characterization is wonderful. I love how Ginny's strength and how she constantly accepts the challenges thrown at her...and Draco-speak is very cute. Great job!

This chapter was truly amazing. I loved it!! It was so interesting.
I liked that you added Claire back into the mix. Her reaction to the Howler just seemed to make Ginny seem even stronger and stubborn and brave.
And then, the race scene was awesome! I can't believe how well she did considering she had a nearly broken broom against supposedly the latest model that Draco was riding.
Speaking of Draco, you've made him so incredibly complex. He's so... *hand motions* First he's all superior and sneering and then he's enraged and then evil and dangerous and then impassive and then caring and teasing and on and on. I love it when he's so multi-dimensional instead of just plain evil. Gets boriong the other way haha.
Blaise is also like that. Maybe not that extreme but still. He basically called off Draco but then he didn't see Ginny about her injuries. It was kind of odd but I guess that left the window open for Draco ;)
Well anyway, lovely story and I really can't wait to read what happens next. I always get so excited when I see your story ont he updates list. Yes, I'm a loser that way. Haha. Please please update as soon as you can!! I'll give you a cookie!! Hee.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm relieved that you liked the race scene, I was terrified that it would be going too far, come across as cheesy or make Draco a completely unlikeable character. I've been trying to develop his character from mostly Ginny's perspective, so that the reader would be influenced by her perceptions of him, and it's been a pretty interesting experiement, because he's always keeping her guessing, so it's fun to write. And I'm glad you picked up on the Blaise thing - that he interfered, but he didn't even ask the poor girl how she was! Even Cho Chang, who is more about complimenting her and asking her to a party, while she's standing there with a broken wrist! It kind of reveals how ridiculous they are, even the ones Ginny sees as "different" from the rest of them...
I promise to update as soon as I can! Thanks for commenting

Dude. I love this chapter. I looooooooove it. Lol. This was so worth waiting for!
He likes her! He likes her! *Happy dance*
This scene, it almost beats the kiss. Well, we haven't seen the kiss chapter yet. But judging by the one in HYD, this almost beats it.
Words cannot describe how much I love this chapter, lol. And I think you did a great job on all the witty banter and everything, and describing the concerned gentle! Draco.
Author's Response: Hee!! I was so hoping you'd say that! I was originally going wait until this chapter was at a certain scene, but then I realized it was way too long (this chapter was 18 pages long, and it was originally supposed be all in Chapter 6, plus all of what is going to be in Chapter 8!), so I put this scene instead. This was the product of my crazy brain's super-long tangent that I just had to write solely so Ginny could notice Draco's lovely hands! Hee! In a twisted kind of way, it's like my version of fluff!
