I'm shocked at how amazing this is- having just read it through entirely. Fantastic.

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you very much! I hope the rest will keep you interested :)

Sorry forgot to ask - how come Draco hasn't tried to read Ginny's mind before - since he obviously has no problem doing so now?

Author's Response: Well, he didn't have much reason to do so earlier... Though as he began to suspect things, Legilimency sounded like a better idea... Also, Ginny isn't stupid. Her mind is usually guarded, except when emotions overwhelm her--as is the case whenever Tom is concerned, of course.

Update soon. I need to know more. Please!!!!!

Author's Response: Well, chapters are coming as quickly as possible. Writing + beta-reading + correcting + formatting make it hard to update everyday. Sorry!!

What is going on?
Oh no, He knows she's a weasley? or he saw her kissing harry!
No, he has to know after her hogwarts slip and the slip about his father... etc,...
Please don't have him hit her, I don't think I could bear it.
And please let him come to his senses quickly and understand that he loves her. :-
Update soon.

Author's Response: It appears I haven't been very clear in what I wrote. I apologize for that. Because by then Draco had stepped out of the major pentacle, he could no longer see Harry. And he was too occupied with Lucius' ghost to see Ginny talking to the Weasleys, thought at that moment, yes, he could have seen them. Don't worry, Draco is not the type of man who would hit a woman, much less one he--arhem, cough cough--loves; though rest assured that he will make her pay. As to the coming to his senses quickly, I apologize, but that's not going to happen anytime soon 0:)

Very powerful chapter. I am in dread of what will happen to Ginny now, assuming Draco now knows her identity. Good job building the suspense.

Author's Response: Thank you. Mea culpa for the confusion I caused, but Draco doesn't know who she is yet... I just assumed that seeing his wife kissing someone else would justify his anger, regardless of who the dead bloke is. At that point, however, he couldn't see Harry (I am REALLY going to have to rewrite a few passages here... eep...)

aaaaw
so i guess they're really all dead then.
that was a sad chapter, but i really want to know what draco will do about the kiss and things...

Author's Response: yep, they're all gone... you'll see soon enough how he chooses to retalliate. thanks for your review!

That was a powerful scene. It must take a lot of courage to face the dead like that.

I do have one question: Why couldn't Draco see Harry when he kissed Ginny? It seemed that everyone could see the ghosts, and he had seen Harry earlier, so it seemed strange.

Anyway, I enjoyed the chapter and am looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. It seems, from the various reviews, that I wasn't clear in explaining the pentacle rules (maybe I should make a little drawing, lol). Draco, overwhelmed by his guilt when facing the Weasleys, stepped out of the pentacle. THEN Harry kissed Ginny, but by that moment, as Draco was out of the pentacle, he could no longer see the ghosts. Thanks for the review. I apologize for the lack of clarity... :/

Crap... Draco knows her name and knows that he met her some where before.... wonder how long it will be before the shit hits the ceiling?

Poor Ginny...i feel so bad for her.

Congratulations on yet another brilliant chapter. your writing; as always, is simply brilliant.

Author's Response: It'll be a little while for Draco... He's so far from imagining the truth, and thinks her dead, like the other Weasleys, that it's not going to hit him soon. Blaise, however, is more pragmatic... For better of for worse. Thanks for all your reviews :D

Oh! I was sooo happy for the children! Their happiness really was contagious!
About the ghosts, I think it was a strong experience, and you wrote it so perfectly that I felt I was there... In the begining I thought anyone could see the others ghosts, but in the end you made clear it isn't so. Relief...

Author's Response: I'm glad you were touched by the children's happiness. Few things make me happier myself... :) The ghosts could have been treacherous, indeed, but everything was fine until the kiss. Some things Draco Malfoy doesn't forgive, and his wife's diverted affection is one of those. Understandably enough.

Great chapter! I'm wondering though, can everyone else see the other ghosts beside the person who summonded them? If so hasn't Draco figured out Ginny's a Weasley?

Author's Response: They can see other ghosts, when they're a pentacle. Draco wasn't looking in Ginny's way when she was with the Weasleys--he was with his own father. By the time he was swarmed with the Weasleys, Harry Potter was making his way for Ginny, and Draco was out of the pentacle when Harry and Ginny kissed (ew ew ew). I thought the timing could work... I'm sorry if it's not very realistic. Thanks for reviewing!

That was an incredible scene. I could see it so clearly in my head - the image of all of these ghosts who meant different things to different people revisitng those they left behind. It was just incredible. There's so much more I have to say, but for now I'm just sort of spellbound.

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad you could visualize it so well--it was pretty clear in my mind as well, and I wanted to transmit that. Say more whenever you feel like it: there's nothing more relaxing than being spellbound (see how we felt after HBP...) Thanks for the review!!

Sorry for the late review! I read this chapter the day it came out.
Well, I see what you're doing with her frequent slips, but then, one cannot change to the core. And maybe WE see them better 'cause we know who she is, but looking from the other characters point of view, it's not that obvious. It's a really tricky balance you're maintaining here.
Now, with this not-so-unexpected situation of Blaise keeping an eye on her, those slips are going to be more crucial.

Well, I looked in your profile for some e-mail or msn, but there's none. No mistery in the microwave brigadeiro recipe.
Sweet condensed milk, and Nesquick as usual (there is a range between 2~4 tablespoons of Nesquick, based on personal taste), but in this case you don't use butter (yeah! so it's kindda lighter!) and you just mix the condensed milk and Nesquick together in a HIGH bowl.

(Note the HIGH part, it's important, you can use a bowl heighing about 10cm. Remember when milk boils it goes all the way up, so when you are doing the regular way you keep stirring it, in the microwave you won't).

8~10 minutes in the higher potency, always depends of the microwave, and voilá.
There you get your brigadeiro without effort. ^^

Author's Response: No problem! We're not on a time schedule, are we? ;) Slips are going to become dangerous very VERY soon. In fact, next chapter (number 12) is the first step toward the downfall. Question being: how eager will Blaise be to tell Draco is wife is Ginny Weasley, eager to get her revenge on him? He might be decapitated in the process, like those messengers of Nero who were killed when they rbought bad tidings... (jk about the decapitated part. we like that nice little head of his on his manly shoulders) Thanks a bunch for the review AND the recipe. I will try this very soon, mwahahahaaaa.
