This chapter was a lot of fun to read. :D

Draco casting the umbrella charm for Ginny was really sweet, but goodness. Ginny just can't accept him being nice in any form, can she?

Cute chapter. :D

Author's Response: Thank you very much!

She had to pull out her handkerchief to stifle another sneeze. Maybe being out in the rain today hadn’t been such a good idea. She reached for her potions and took one she’d prepared just in case, hoping to stave off unwelcome cold symptoms.

Oh!
What a pitty!
I really would like to see her getting really really sick and St. Mungus busting with people so one of the nurses would just throw a bunch of poions on Draco's arms and tell him not to leave her side and make sure she would drink them every hour or something like that. Some delirium fom her part and loud enough so he could hear would also be pretty good
;P


Draco then disarmed Dumbledore after cornering him in the Astronomy tower and Snape killed him.
Ginny was a little startled at that. She’d always thought that Malfoy had done it. It took her a minute to focus back on the file and continue reading.

A kind slap to the face by miss reality, it was nice she found that out first.
=)


Malfoy spoke up in a small voice she’d never heard him use. “Father. The Dark Lord has given me a task.” His eyes held a look that nearly broke Ginny’s heart. He was so desperate for approval.


OH!
I pity the poor boy so much!
Always looking for aproval,trying to please his father.Poor child, it's heart wrenching.


“I haven’t got any options!” Draco cried, turning white. “I’ve got to do it! He’ll kill me! He’ll kill my whole family!”
Draco, head bowed, wand lowered

This scene, even in the movie, made me feel a pinch in the heart.



“I know, Mother. I’m sorry,” Malfoy said. “I’m just… I guess I’m ashamed.” He paused. “Not for the reason He thinks. I’m ashamed because I was going to do it. I was going to kill a man.”
Narcissa folded her hands primly in her lap and said nothing. Draco sighed and continued. “I’m not like that, though, Mother. I can’t go ‘round killing people. Not even for the Dark Lord. It’s not right.”
Malfoy lowered the candle to the bed and dropped his head into his hand. He stayed that way for a minute before saying softly, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for agreeing. I’m sorry for the necklace and the poison. I’m sorry for fixing that cabinet and letting the Death Eaters in.”
He lifted his head and his face looked much older than his seventeen years. “But I’m not sorry that I backed down. I’m glad I didn’t kill him, even though I did bring it about.
“I was such a fool!” he cried. “How could I have thought… I’m not like them, Mother!”

You made it sound so sad and dramatic and i could feel his pain as he was saying these words, i read them slowly, savouring them, like i was meaning them myself.
And it's...heavy!
It has such a huge weight to it!
You did amazing with the guilt!
He was so open them, even if Cissa was cold[which kinda made me sad because i love Cissa as a dear, sweet mother].
He was just...broken!
And you pitured it amazingly well!


Then a mist filled the memory and she heard Harry’s voice. “This one isn’t part of the Ministry file. It wasn’t even submitted for evidence. But I thought you should see it. Adds a new light to his character, doesn’t it? You can keep it if you like. I don’t need it anymore. Good luck, Ginny.”

WOW!
Beth, do you now how amazing this was???
I ACTUALLY liked Harry!
I usually HATE, LOATHE Harry.
I think i only like harry when he is dead or gay or just like this which is even rarer.
And i was blown away because i loved this!
i loved what he did,it was just incrdible!
Congratulations on this iniciative from Harry, it was brilliant!
The best idea he EVER had in all of the fics i've ever read, this was definately one of the best things he has ever done, if not the very best.
I'm blown away!
=O


She got ready for bed automatically, her mind still lost in the past. Then she crawled into bed, forgetting to put out the lights, and lay there for another hour, staring at the ceiling. She’d never considered these things before; never considered that Malfoy had been just as much a victim as anyone else; and she found herself very interested. Even after she fell asleep her thoughts were filled with it. She dreamed of those memories, and of his silver eyes seeking approval from his stone-faced father, and of his mother looking into a mirror, and of his sobs filling a dark room.

This is the most perfect way to describe this whole situation, how anyone would feel.
It was so human!
It's NOT fic-world and completely REAL world, the way she reacted and i simply loved it!
REALLY REALLY AMAZING!


It was close to midnight before Ginny snapped out of her reverie, and then it was only because a pile of flowers had fallen on her head and a gale of giggles floated down from the mural.

Hehe, i absolutely love this mural, it was the most inventive, sweet, fluffy thing i have ever seen in a fic.
There's a similar idea i came up with involving a Christmas tree and little faries flying aroun it and throwing little fire works and tinsels all around it!
^;^


Can we have her breaking in a high fever and screeching in the middle of the night?
[yeah, completely crazy and nothing to do with anything but i'll eplain where this comes from later,especially if you have time to write a very special challenge i have stirring in my mind.]


THIS was an amazing chapter, so heavy and filled with information and just the thing she needed to let down some of her walls.
i absolutely loved this, it was almost Ginny's version of THE DATE, because she got to see some of him, change the way she sees him and now her doors are open to have her own realization;
GREAT, amazing, wonderful chapter!
I cant even tell you how great this was!
Just WOW!

Now i MUST bug you about another chapter soon because this was just half a glass of water to a dying person walking around in Egypt.
WOWOWOW
i'm just really amazed by how deep this chapter was.
Thank you so much for it!
It ade my day!
After such a wonderful day[fingerpainting on the garden wall, i'll post a pic of it as soon as day breaks tomorrow on facebook! ;P] i can finish it with this great chapter and Mafia Wars.
=D
SO thank you!
This was incredible!
Can you please tell me the next chapter is half way typed?
*shining eyes*
;P

Author's Response: Okay, I'm seriously crying with happiness over this review lol! I just love that you loved it so much!! :D *happy dance* When I started writing this chapter, I had no idea at all what I was going to do for the memories. I knew I wanted to have Draco a victim in the War, but I had no idea how to bring that about... I started working on it and it all just sort of wrote itself. It was almost like I was dreaming... if that doesn't sound to wierd... and I was watching in play out exactly as I had Ginny doing. I get chills every time I reread the part in the small bedroom where Draco's talking to his mum. Anyway... what is this challenge stirring in your mind, hm? Should I start running now, or wait until I've heard it and hope I'm fast enough? Lol! The next chapter is WRITTEN though not TYPED. I can, however, have it typed very very quickly and will post it on Tuesday! Thank you so much for reviewing, and what a review it was! Love it!

well i'm glad she has something that will change her impression of him. and i'm glad that its something that will make a difference based on her worldview and not something trivial like money. she will give him a chance now. and since he's determined to win her heart, it'll work out well for both of them. good chapter. filled with just enough plot to get us back into more interesting interaction between our fav blond and redhead. looking forward to the update to see how this new information affects their interactions.
