That was an awesome chapter! I can't get over Mrs. Weasley!! She definitely crossed a line by telling the boys about Ginny's affair with Draco…argh that really pissed me off! I love how Ginny finally stood up to her family and told them she IS going to fight for her love/life with Draco.
The words below were my favorite part of this chapter (gets teary eyed):
“I told my mother it’s you and only you. We don’t have to go out or do anything. Because we’re here, you and me, and I love you. This is good enough for me. This is just perfect.”
Thank you, I can't wait to read more…
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! Molly definitely crossed boundaries, and she's hurt and lost people because of it. But Ginny's coming back, and I was happy to bring her back. I'm glad you liked the chapter!

Wow that was such a heart breaking chapter. Poor Draco has been through so much and still after so many years everyone treats him like crap. Ginny has a tough job ahead of her if she's going to help him fight his demons. With the exception of George I'm not liking the Weasley's so far, I hope they redeem themselves soon.
I'm looking forward to your next chapter!
Author's Response: It was very hard to write, and I'm sure just as hard to read. I'm glad someone is giving George a little appreciation. I've always loved him as a character, and I gave him what I believe to be an appropriate role in the situation of Ginny's. Thanks so much!

I was wondering when she'd remember her kids. How old is she here? 23? 24?
Author's Response: It takes place nine years after book 7. So, I believe Ginny is 25. Thanks for the review!

I really enjoyed the way you began this chapter. You really got into the head of a young mother. And Harry? Typical insensitive husband to young mother. Good job. I loved the conversation with Ginny and Draco over dinner. I'm looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thanks very much for the review. I was trying to put the Ginny that we see at Hogwarts into the job of a new mother, and I'm glad you thought it was well portrayed. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on chapters to come, as well.

OH its Casablanca!! My favourite movie! I've had this bunny running around in my head for almost a year and haven't been able to get it started. I can't wait to see what you do with it! I await it eagerly.
Author's Response: It is! I'm glad I can fulfill the plot bunny, it's been running around in my head for a little while too. Thanks for the reivew!

Hmmm, Casablanca much? Interesting backstory you came up with for that, even though I can't quite imagine Ilsa and Rick with the same plot.
Author's Response: Yes, thanks for catching it! I was inspired to write this story because of Casablanca, although its ending and middle aren't as similar as the beginning. The only direct quote from the movie comes in chapter four. But good for you for noticing!

so does that mean that she is staying in paris? oh i hope she does, but she pobably wont because she has to go back to harry....but it would be better if harry's kids were his from a previous marriage not from theirs. that would make me happy but i most likely wont happen.
i cant wait for another chapter..it isn't a one shot is it? i dont think it is because im eagerly awating another chappie.
good luck!!

Author's Response: Unfortunately, no. Ginny is going home. And Albus and James are hers and Harry's kids. But good news: it's not a one shot. It will be updated within the week.

This is such a great start to the story. But she CAN'T leave Draco. That'd be so cold. She needs to divorce Harry. He doesn't deserve her.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. You're right, he doesn't. But ah...sometimes life is not fair.

But it's obviously Draco's child! I decree that she shall divorce Harry, take her boys to Paris, and marry Draco. Of course there will be much angst before that happens, but that is all right.
Author's Response: Lots of angst. But we'll see. Remember, fully compliant. :) Thanks for the review!

Oh NO!!!!!
I was sooo into your version of what happened with Draco and Ginny! It was absolutely great. I felt just as sad as Ginny when she realized that she had to go back to Harry and the children. What is going to happen? How did they break it off with one another?
Fabulous!

It's great :) I really like it.
Draco's wife leaving him was/is a nice touch.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad. I basically just decided that when Ron and Harry saw them on the platform that they hadn't heard the two were divorced...poor ignorant boys.

Wow. So many things happening and it's only the first chapter. I can't wait to see what hapens when Ginny tells Draco she's leaving him or what happens when he finds out she's pregnant. I have a feeling that it's going to be Draco's child too. *uh oh!*
Author's Response: It was a very busy chapter. Thanks so much for leaving the review. I hope you stick around to see how it all unfolds. Cheers, Lunaeyes
