Reviews For Hesperides' Apple

Well, well... Some of the reviwers did'nt get it right... The pale witch wasn't Blaise, but one and only Shehzin, while Blaise went to Gringotts, and now I just understood why they are so perfect for each other.
I'm worried about Narcissa though, if Neville, Luna and Hermione came up with a possible cure, or else, an enhancement of the effects of the Luna Nevillum, on the Harpy pox, that means she would have a chance, if it wasn't for Malfoy's pride. Draco will have to swallow that in order to save his mum, but will he? Or maybe it will be Ginny saving the day, by using it to cure her in-law?
And about the Tawaret amulet, I think the other reviwers got it wrong as well. Probably Ginny doesn't know wich goddess is that, only thinking about it as an object of her brother, that "coincidentaly" helped to ease her sickness. But she didn't even give it a second thought.

Author's Response: They are perfect for each other, aren't they? We'll also find out they're a perfect match for the Malfoys: conniving but attached to the people they come to admire and care for. As Neville said, the cure is going to be put on the market quickly and, hopefully, en masse. Draco will just have to live with the fact that the profits for the cure will go to Muggle-borns and half-bloods. You're absolutely right about the Tawaret amulet, it was instinct rather than conscious decision that made her go for it. I tweaked the chap a bit so that it is clearer, but thanks for explaining it :D Thanks for the looooong review (and all the ones before that!)

Great chapter!
Deducing from the last two paragraphs, it seems like Draco already knows his wife's true identity...no? Interesting development. Can't wait for the next installment!!!:)

Author's Response: Thank you! No, he doesn't know her identity. He just figured getting her pregnant after she's put so much effort into NOT getting her pregnant will force her out of her shell, that she'll make a mistake--one that Blaise will be forced to report.

Loved the chapter! I can't wait to see how Draco will reveal it to Ginny and how she will react. I wonder how Draco will act when Ginny gets home-he seems so excited!
And, who isn't up for sex with Draco as revenge? giggles
Will this go on to the after the birth?
So, Neville and Luna are going to do what with the cure?
I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Well he isn't going to tell her just yet. Waiting for the right moment, I suppose. (It'll come, don't worry) I doooon't think this will go on to the after birth. Maybe it will. I'm trying to think of a suitable ending here and ending with a birth is so typical. I'll see how creative (or not) I can get. Neville and Luna are going to make it available to everyone--Draco just won't be the one financing it. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!!

i just have to say that i love your story it is very interesting and you're one h**l of a writer btw i thougt it was really cuz that you mentioned uzbekistan in the chapter cuz i am from there and when i read that part for some reason i was really happy lol your story rocks but please keep narcissa alive it would devastate draco cuz he seems like such a mama's boy and i really don't like seeing draco upset cuz bad things happen when draco is upset lol

Author's Response: Wow, thank you, I'm very flattered. About Uzbekistan, I've never been there, and the documentation I have is so scarce I'm afraid I wouldn't do it justice. Would you mind if I ran a few paragraphs of the following chapter by you so that you can tell me whether it's realistic, completely absurd, and maybe give me a few additional details? Draco's going to be upset, but not about Narcissa, I can tell you that much...

Sorry to point this out... but u have to correct the following:

"The Potters and Sirius Black had ensured that his vault was well furnished."


Author's Response: can you not say "well furnished"? it's definitely a Gallicism on my part apologies for that, but I'm afraid I don't know what the correct term should be. Feel free to tell me, and thanks for pointing it out!

Fabulous chapter. You managed to get so much of information into this chapter... and yet it flows so well...

Guess Ginny knows that she is pregnant huh... that's why she is using a Tawaret amulet... how come she hasn't brought it up with Draco yet?

Also, now that the 'pale witch' following Ginny has witnessed her reunion with Neville... how soon will Zabini get to the bottom of things?

Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. again, it appears I'm going to have so rewriting to do: Ginny doesn't know (how could she even imagine, after all those contraception spells) that she's pregnant. In a way the amulet found her rather than she found it. Zabini will get to the bottom of things very, very soon. In fact, we can assume he's there already. Now all we have to wait for is the moment when he finds himself forced to tell Draco the entire truth... Thanks for reviewing!

Just wanted to drop a quick review to let you know how much I enjoy this story. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop...

Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying this, and thanks for taking the time to tell me you do :) (question: what does "the other shoe to drop" mean?")

oh, they're getting along so well! i'm really dreading the moment of truth.

Author's Response: I'm delighted you are dreading that moment... (me too, as a matter of fact... no idea how it's going to happen) Thanks for reviewing :)

Fantastic chapter, just thought I'd let you know. :) I'm happy about that heir, and I feel like you're teasing us with tiny details. :) Keep it up!

Author's Response: Thanks :) Of course I'm teasing you with tiny details, that's what makes it fun (if it is, fun, at all...). Thank you for reviewing, and figuring out way ahead there would be a baby Malfoy :D

Himm... so Narcissa is going to kick the bucket sometime soon... the Q is: before or after the birth of her grandchild?

Author's Response: "kick the bucket"? does that mean die? it's not an expression i'm familiar with... well, we'll see about that ;)

ach, what next??
and what e x a c t l y is her plan?
she must have one, and something has to happen with Blaise Zabini now...
very good chapter though
can't wait for the next one...

Author's Response: her plan is to ruin Draco's reputation and, if possible, fortune (thanks to Hermione's economic plots). I'm sorry I haven't made that apparent (my personal, tragic flaw: I assume the reader knows everything I, as author, have in mind for the characters) As for Blaise, he's merely going to look for proof of her identity, and give Draco the information.

I think what I liked most about this chapter is that both Draco and Blaise are working against Ginny, but she is completely ignorant of it. And she really does seem to be getting more and more attached to Draco. The story continues to be very intriguing. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: You're very welcome :) I suppose you could say that in working against Ginny, Draco is working against himself, since they have grown increasingly attached to each other in the past chapters... Whenever the truth comes out, it's bound to destroy a number of things--ranging from their couple, to themselves.

So the Harpy Pox is contagious... if Narcissa has it, isn't it dangerous for her to be in the same mansion as Draco and Ginny?

Poor Ginny; tricked into getting pregnant... mann, she really has a total prick for a husband.

Loved the chapter - please do update soon.

When i asked u if u had written anything else in the last chapter… i mean anything at all... not just D/G stuff...
ur writing is so good i would love to read anything that u have written.

Author's Response: Good point... Maybe it's not at an advanced stage yet? Maybe the previous antidote can partially hinder the progress of the Pox... Calling Draco a prick in this case is particularly adequate, I'd say. Though you might want to remember that Ginny has been casting contraception spells without talking about it with Draco... I have written stuff, though most of it isn't fiction, essays, college assignments, etc. I'm afraid it's not worth much :( Though if ever I do write something good, I'll definitely notify you :D But thank you very, very much for the appreciation!

They're so cute together. But I can't imagine anything short of a trainwreck once Draco finds out Ginny is a Weasley. Can't wait.

Author's Response: They are, aren't they? (sigh) He'll be pissed, I'll tell you that much. But he's a Malfoy, remember? so whatever he does will be very well planned out, not harmful for his reputation, and vengeful. (You might have to wait for a few chapters though... Sorry, I'm slow...) Thank you for reviewing!

Love the chapter! I guess Draco just took them home in a fit of rage in the last chapter? I'm just dying to see what happens between Draco and Blasie when he tells Draco about Ginny!I wonder if Narcissa will die? Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Yeah... Sorry, there was no dramatic after match, fight, revenge, etc. (Because if sex with Draco is revenge, I'm up for it aaaanytime) More is coming up. Thanks for reviewing :D

"Birds fly over the rainbow. Why, then why can't I?"

What a coincidence that I happen to be listening to Somewhere over the Rainbow and there is the Yellow Brick Road from Wizard of Oz! Haha cool!

Damn damn shitty bang bang! Ginny's gonna get pregnant! GAH! Oh no oh no update soon!

Ah, I seem to have fallen in love with this series and I check on it's updates everyday. I love how you portray Draco and Ginny. Their interaction is great and very charged and the way you write seems to suck me right in! I can't wait to see where things go from here!

-You ever faithful reader Janie :)

Author's Response: Try once a week, that way there are less chances you'll be disappointed :) I'm a slow writer... I'm glad you're satisfied with their interaction and portrayal, and hope to keep you intrigued until the end. Thanks for the review!!!

I'm sorry, in my last comment I meant to say "fine head", not "find head". That wouldn't be too good; at least for me and Dhaka. Speaking of which, when will Draco return the favor?
Something just dawned on me. Say Draco did see Harry kissing Ginny. What would happen? Could he possibly kill one that is already dead? *Laughs as thought* Although, he IS a Malfoy. We mustn’t forget that.
Thanxxx again

Author's Response: I'm pretty sure Draco would have found a way to kill Harry a second time. And then maybe he would have killed Ginny, too. (JUST KIDDING!!!!) As you will soon see, Draco has returned the favor, though we won't see him actually terrorizing Shehzin's family (maybe in the rewrite, but I'm getting lost in my own plot enough as it is). Shehzin will soon be back, and not for the best, in Ginny's case.

Mmm... Whether it's Draco spending time with Ginny, snogging, or the ice-cream. All cuts down to one thing, how sweet!
Blaise, you've got a mighty find head on your shoulders...or a damn good memory. Ha ha. Pardon my language.
Thanxxx!

Author's Response: I'd say damn good memory, though wouldn't you, too, remember such a fiery witch as Ginny Weasley? ;) Thanks for the review!

Ok... It's past midnight and I'm nearly dying of a headache, then I was calling it a day and, just one second before shutting everything off, there came the warning of a new chapter of one of my favorites.
The headache is suddenly gone and I was eager to read it throughly. ^^
Uhuhuhuhuhu they're going to have a baby!!! (aka "Malfoy's heir")
Why didn't Draco think about that before? *wide grin imagining the surprise she will have*
About Zabini discovering who she is, I think, as you said before, he will be really careful about the way he will break the news.
Nice touch about Draco wishing she didn't have his mum's hair. ^^
And Ginny is being more herself each passing day. No good, no good.
Yay! First review!

Author's Response: Well I'm glad this help, though Advil or Motrin have similar effects regarding headaches ;) Yeaaaaaah, they're going to have a baby... Unless Ginny does something crazy when she realizes she's pregnant... Then Draco would have to prevent her from harming herself and/or the baby (or would he...) Zabini IS going to be a threat, though he isn't as bad as one may expect him to be. He's merely loyal to Draco... And you're right, Ginny is letting herself go, probably because she feels so comfy with fandom's handsomest wizard. Thanks for reviewing, as always :D
