Ohhh Loveeee It !!!!
I'm soo glad they're save. If d/g can't be together in the real story, d/g SHOULD be together in fanfics! That's what fanfic for! Hohohoho...
This story is really great. Draco is so cold here. That's why he should be warmed by Ginny beside him. Aww soo sweet. Write more d/g stories... or hmmm sequel maybe?
Author's Response: I dunno if there's more in this story or not. Maybe after I finish the one I'm working on, I'll see if I want to revisit this universe.

Good chapter. But this is the end? I wanted more! =) There is still a couple loose ends you could tie up.
How does Ginny reaquaint herself with her family? What is Draco's new role in the war? Do they ever make it back to the Manor?
Hmmm, you know with all of these questions I think a sequel is in order. Don't keep me waiting for long!
Author's Response: We'll see... For the moment, the story is done. I even checked with my beta, just to be sure there wasn't a little more to add to the story. :) But who knows. Maybe when I finally finish the story I'm working on now, there might be more to go.

I love how the Manor is a character. It's so creative! Will there be any type of epilogue or sequel? There seem to still be a few loose ends (Ginny's relationship with her family, whether or not Voldemort will really kill Lucius, Which side wins, etc.). Overall, it's a great story!
Author's Response: I actually asked my beta about this. Emotionally, it's done. Those loose ends... maybe I'll continue, maybe not. There are so many variations, I couldn't exactly pick just one. :)

I really like this story, it's just SO good. I love how you've written your Draco.
Author's Response: thank you! I like faceted characters; I think that's why I like Ginny and Draco individually as well as a pairing. Since there's so many holes in characterization in canon, I get to fill in the blanks and flesh them out.

*sigh* I just love this story and when I was informed that it was updated I literally hopped in glee! I hope it all works out, I hope they aren't pricks to Draco when he leaves. Love it. You describe feelings so well, I admire that.
Author's Response: It'll be an interesting journey for our heroes, though the bulk of it will be after the story ends.

Harry Potter! I am glad that you portray him as strong and fierce. I like it when they are both strong. Even though Draco is only showing his backbone in defending Ginny, I know at some point he will have to become a force to be reckoned with in order to save his soon to be wife and child. By the way, they will be marrying soon right? Before they portkey out so her family cannot deny Draco safety perhaps? The child can't be a true heir if he is born a bastard. Update soon!
Author's Response: Harry's a strong force. It doesn't stop him from being a git at times, just like everyone else. :) Draco just needed a reason. We saw glimmers of it in HBP, because he was working to save his family and restore the family name. He just got handed a very good reason in this fic. :)

A sentient manor? Fabulous! I dont think I have read that yet! And I love that he is being so open and honest with her! Of course she can't get away from her Gryff ways! That is in her soul and will never change!
Author's Response: I liked the Manor. I need to use it again somewhere. As for our heroes... I like them this way. I do think Draco has a core within him that can be warped to "good" rather than "self-interested," which isn't necessarily evil. but since the books are Harry's POV we'll never actually see what Draco is truly like with his friends or loved ones.

OK she was Obliviated... Draco will realize he loves her... she will love him for who he is now... and I can't wait to see the drama you add, because as most stories start this way I am always amazed at how many variations of story this outline can create! I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: I think I read somewhere that there are seven basic plots, and every story is simply a variation of it. It's all in the details and how it's laid out. I'm glad you like my version of the amnesia story. :)

Now things are really getting interesting! I can't wait for the next chapter!
Was Harry talking about Grimmauld Place?
Author's Response: The next chapter is the last, so things move *really* fast. And yes, Harry was talking about Grimmauld Place, though Draco couldn't possibly have known that. :)

Wow, I love this story. I love how the manor responds and wants to help them. I think that it is really cool and orignal to incorporate the house into the story like it is its own character. I have one question, though. Are Draco and Ginny married? Because you talk about her really being a Malfoy now, but I don't recall a ceremony or anything of that sort. Anyway, thanks for the excellent chapter and I look forward to more.
Author's Response: Technically, they're not married. But she was accepted as Draco's fiancee, and given that she's pregnant, that's all the official that the Manor needs. She's not technically a Malfoy, but she's carrying one. Being married is ceremony, but the emotion there is enough to bind the two of them together.

I love the Manor as a character! What a wonderful inclusion! I like your Ginny also. Even Obliviated, she is such a strong woman. Great chapter!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the Manor, too. :) I wanted to show that memory isn't what makes someone brave or strong, but their inner sense of self. Even without memories, she's still the same personality. She just has to keep going from where she is, and really trust her instincts about people.

Nice chappie. I liked the manor chat. It was a fresh take on the levels of magic available and very creative. Well done.
My only suggestion is to tweak the details a bit to give it more of a flair. Update soon!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying the Manor bit. I really liked that idea, and I think it makes a little sense, given the generations of Malfoys that had lived there. :)

Bravo! I love this story! I like the conversation that she had with the house! It was new diffrent and gooooodddd...lol! Can't wiat to read more. Good Luck with it! ;)
Author's Response: I like the idea of a semisentient Manor. I think it makes perfect sense, and in this case, it's crucial to any getaway plan they might make. :)

Your story is vibrant in manner I couldn't have imagined. The way you allow the character's emotions to be the main point of the story is wonderful, and very moving.
Author's Response: This story is more about realizing the emotions than dramatic action, so I really wanted that to be center stage. Draco is realizing the importance of emotion and is coming to that turning point. Ginny is maturing because of hers, whether or not she has the memory to back it up. I'm glad you're enjoying this story.

The Manor is sooo adorable. It just like a good pet that you can trust.
Keep update regularly coz I can't wait to see the next chapter. And just for your information, I crave for happy ending ^^
Author's Response: You know, I hadn't thought of the Manor as a pet before, but it kind of is, isn't it? :) Two more chapters to go...

Author's Response: I liked it, too. I figured a Manor steeped in magic for generations would want to protect the future generations. And given that Ginny now has the next generation conceived, it would definitely want to communicate with her. :)

Wonderful chapter! The bit at the end with the Manor interacting with ginny was very creative. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: I figure if the Manor was in the family long enough, magic would have seeped into it, and it would want to protect the family. From there, it made sense for Ginny to be the one to actually interact with it, since the Malfoy men were too busy getting out of there. :)

Wow, this is such a good AU! Usually I don't read AUs... they just annoy me... but I really like this one. Good job.
