Apologies for not reviewing the last few chapters, but I've been too busy to read fanfics of late. I loved reading through this chapter again, though. It's lovely. The lows and highs that Ginny goes through are so heartfelt that I can't help but get sucked into the action as it takes place. It's a great story to re-read. :) I'm so very glad to hear that there's going to be a sequel to this! I can't wait.
Author's Response: I love re-reading it too! Sometimes I can't believe that I wrote it. Thanks so much for the feedback. Nice to know that others get a similar reaction from reading it. I think that's the hardest thing about writing is wondering if the readers are seeing what I think I expressed. Your review helped a lot.

Ahhhh, that was incredible. I do love that story. It is now marked as one of my favorites, so I can readily find it. You have a wonderful ability to tell a story and to make the imagery come alive. The emotion is raw, the dialogue flows, and your characterization is fantastic. Everything made me happy!! Please post a new story soon, I can't wait for more happy endings!!! I love this portrayal of Draco/Ginny!!!
Author's Response: Cool! thank you! At this site, being a favorite is quite an honor. Thanks to somebody's review, I started thinking of the sequel today on my walk home. They really are too cute to let go just yet.

Lovely! I'm sorry to see it done, but I enjoyed it immensely! Honestly, I think you downplayed the Francine to Ginny thing - I felt it should have been more climactic. But I love it!
Author's Response: There is so much more I could have added. Originally, I had a whole bunch of characters for the Quidditch team, and interactions with other teammates and Draco while she was acting as Francine. I did what I could in the 4 weeks that I had for the fic exchange, so, I guess I'm grateful for the deadline or I'd have never finished. Thank you so very very much for the feedback.

*sigh* thats was fantastic I love it!! I really like the way your brought the faeries into the ending!!!
Author's Response: The faeries were fun. I was trying to figure out how to give them a bigger role. What I love about the HP universe is the inclusion of magical creatures. Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it.

I looooovveeddd it!! The romance was perfect not too fluffy and then the angst it came in at just the right time!....Draco even cried!
A wedding one-shot would be a nice....*wink hint*
Author's Response: Ohhh, I feel my arm being twisted.... OK. I'll see what I can do. I have to promise myself to finish at least one of my other fics first though. They've been calling to me.

Love it!!!
Very nice writing!
this made me laugh out loud:
'Almost immediately, three golden faeries flew by and she felt something drop into her hand. She looked down and saw... a piece of strawberry cake.
Draco stared at the treat in disbelief, then looked up at her to see the confusion and amusement in her eyes. He took the dessert, placed it aside, then looked about at the dozen or so giggling faeries.
“All right, very funny,” he spoke to the air in general. “Can we try this again please?” More of the light, tinkling giggles met his half-hearted glare. “I guess they do hold a grudge,” he muttered.'
congrats. you're very talented
Author's Response: It's a bit vain, but I keep re-reading my own ending when I'm having a bad day because it makes me feel better. It was indeed a very fun fic to write. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for letting me know! :)

Aww, what a happy ending!! Wait... is it the end? Regardless, great chapter!
Author's Response: Sadly it is, though somebody has put the bug in my ear about maybe writing up the wedding. I will have to ponder this on my next long run and see what I come up with. Fred and Narcissa at a wedding could be a real hoot.

Chapter 13 - The Truth on Jul 07, 2008 09:15 am
Ahh, I would love a flying marriage proposal.
Draco, hmmm...well he is a bit angry, but can't he SEE why she did it? She loves him so much!! I do hope he comes around.
Thanks for fixing the gap....I read this story before on the ficexchange...I liked it then, and love it now! I forgot some of the plot and dialogue but this story is truly captivating and wonderful.
Author's Response: Originally, that was the plan, where the proposal was written on the Snitch. However, in the midst of writing this fic, another one was posted with an almost identical idea, so I had to change that. It ended up doubling my story, since I had to back fill a lot of subplots to deal with the alterations. So, in effect, it was a good thing. :)

I love this chapter. You really captured everything that is Draco. I really can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you. I actually had to cut back on it a bit, because I felt the argument was getting a bit long winded. But, in this, as well as in canon, Draco is a bit insecure, and that had to come out, so I threw all the angst of the story into one compact bundle. I appreciate hearing that it came out alright.

Great chapter. The cat is out of the bag! Very realistic reactions. I'm looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Glad to hear you think it's realistic. It's a tough balance to pull off. This was one of the hardest chapters to write. In fact, it's been rewritten about 6 times. Thanks for letting me know.

This is not going to work out well. Draco's going to be uber-pissed when he finds out she's been lying to him, isn't he? Please don't make him angry at her!
