v. cool that the Bloody Baron was Draco's ansester, but he killed himself for the Gray Lady
Author's Response: I wrote this before the Baron's history was revealed, so this should be seen as just yet another difference between this alternate sixth year and canon! :)
love the names of the studnets
Author's Response: Thank you! They were a lot of fun to use. :)
*SQUEEE*I absolutely heart you! :) Loved your story soooo much!
Author's Response: I heart you for giving Girl!Blaise a chance and loving the story! *hugs*
I just quickly came down here in the middle of the story to tell you that Blaise is NOT A GIRL
Author's Response: Aw, Sarge, don't make me do push ups! I put on the summary, right below the 'nominated for best romance non-canon' blurb * Written before the HBP, this tale presents an alternate sixth year in which Dumbledore lives, Draco is more than a foil to Harry, and Blaise Zabini is a girl. I wrote the story when BZ was just a name, no sex or description given! Think of girlBlaise as the *other* BZ, existing in an alternate dimension of the Potterverse (where this story takes place) and I think you'll enjoy the story very much!
I was just reminded once again why I love this story!
It was a beautiful chapter, and I love your references to Shakespeare =)
Author's Response: I was reminded once again why I love your reviews! *hugs* As a R/T writer, I was upset at the end of DH anyway, but to give Draco a receding hairline, scars he's self-conscious about hiding, a nameless wife and a kid named Scorpius...I think Jo, not Percy, is the biggest git in the world, LOL.
Ivanna Lovegood hahahahahah, I love it!
Author's Response: I love that you like my sense of humour! I'd be in trouble if you didn't! :D
That was great! I always felt really bad at the end of chapters because I didn't review. I just wanted to keep reading. That was the longest fanfiction that ever held my attention all the way to the end! Great!
Author's Response: As much as I would've loved more reviews, lol, it's a wonderful compliment that you wanted to keep reading, so thank you very much for doing so and for letting me know you enjoyed the story! (I've got one shots, and a non-Matchmakers D/G fic if you ever want something shorter to hold your attention! ^_~)
its really good so far, but it bugs me that you always spell practice wrong, it's not with an s (practise) example: “You can practise on the boys.”
Author's Response: I didn't just take my neighbor's word for it, I googled London children practising their singing and found "allow time to practise" at www.standards.dfes.gov.uk
its really good so far, but it bugs me that you always spell practice wrong, it's not with an s (practise) example: “You can practise on the boys.”
Author's Response:I'm a Yank, but I use UK spelling, and since an English neighbor of mine said she spells it with a 's', I did too. :)
Oh MERLIN! Haha i am soooo sad that this beautiful story has come to an end... you have such a talent. Keep writing!
Author's Response: Thank you for saying that! I hope you'll get a chance to read the one shots that follow, and the non-Matchmakers D/G story 'It Takes a Thief'. (self promotion is better than none, lol)
Kerichi, you actually have no idea how addictive this tale is!!!! I can't get enough, and you always seem to make me laugh!!! I loved the co-ed slumber party scene!
Author's Response: You have no idea how I grinned like a madwoman reading that! Thank you for reading, and even more importantly for laughing! :D
aaaaah so far im addicted to your story... really really good! Keep writing, you have real talent.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I write mostly Remus and Tonks these days, but I still think Draco and Ginny, while not perfect, are perfect for each other, so I'm thrilled you're reading this story! :)
Stupid Hermione,y...y?They were so close.:( *cry cry*
Author's Response: They deserve a better first kiss than against a wall...under a table is much more romantic! :D
Ha Ha,the Tom Felton thing was so funny.
Author's Response: I have fun with names, heehee. It's a perk. ;)
it took me a minute to realize what it was but i did recognize the Napolean Dynamite line after a thought about it a little. good chapter, im off to go read more
Author's Response:Can't you imagine him saying that with a Napoleon sincerity? :D Thanks!
i was actually watching the movie as i read this chapter, lol i loved how you threw in those lines from Wesley and Inigo's sword fight from the beginning of the movie!! so good chapter "good night, good work, i may kill you in the morning" :) (or something like that) ~MRG
Author's Response: Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning. (Can you tell I've seen the film a time or a hundred, LOL?)
Aww -- I'm an ardent admirer of alliteration, as well. hehe Well done! :)
Author's Response: And an able alliliteration user as well! Aw, I heart you for that! :)
that is so cold to end a chap like that
Author's Response:I always resolve cliffies without too long a wait, though, so they're easy to live with, lol.
That was a kick ass story. I just couldn't stop reading for three nights i stayed up util five in the morning to finish it.
Author's Response:You made my day saying that! Thank you for losing sleep to read, and double thanks for reviewing to tell me you did! *hugs* :)
IN THE CARTOON WAT WAS THE FULL SPELL Lydia USED TO GO TO THE NEITHER WORLD???
Author's Response: Lydia said,"Though I know should be wary, Still I venture someplace scary! Ghostly hauntings I turn loose Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!" although his name is actually spelt Betelgeuse, after the star. :D

Author's Response: I'm taking that to mean "I love your writing. Both you and the story are brilliant," in whatever language (real or nonsense) that you chose to express yourself in. :D
I have to say that I absolutely LOVE the way that you make allusions in your story and incorporate the works of "Slick Willy" (aka my teacher's unique nickname for Shakespeare)into it as well. You write very well and you write your story so it works - it's plausible. Keep it up; I'm really enjoying it and I've even recommended it to a few friends!
Author's Response: And here I thought Slick Willy was a name for Bill Clinton! LOL Thank you for the recommendations. That made my night. :)
i think this is the best Draco Ginny fanfic ever and I'm happy that you wrote a sequel. I will gladly read whatever story you write!
Author's Response: I think you're the sweetest to say that! I wish I would have had the time to write a chapter fic sequel, but I hope you'll find one shots help round off the story right! ^_^
That Professor James Hook thing was funny.
But I thought it was Hooke not Hook....?
Author's Response: There's no relation, lol. Thanks, but I've never seen it with an 'e' and I read the book based on J.M. Barrie's original play (didn't like it half as much as the film! Jason Isaacs is so inspiring as Hook. :D)
Okay I officially forgive you.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive Jo after book 7, sigh.
