you portrited everything perfectly!
i loved it!
the end(the second one) was THE BEST!!!
i loved his question!!!
pitty we didn't get na answer
^^
really great work!
i wanna read Draco's point of view!
but only after WLAE
;)
kisses
Author's Response: Thank you! Haha, I leave you to decide what the answer was. I think Ginny most likely would have just hit him and then kissed him. Or she would have hit him, and then he would have kissed her.
I've got four pages written of chapter two for WLAE. Shouldn't be too long now. ^_^

Really funny, i loved it and i must admit, i giggled like a little girl most of the time (ha). i picture the "5 line sequel" as the little "moment" at the end of the credits jaja
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. Haha, I guess the five-lined sequel was a bit like one of those 'moments' after the credits.

The knickers of doom! LOL Perhaps the cotton cauldrons of confusion? Has Percy given his okay for the thickness of the bottoms on those?
Okay, enough of that silliness.
I love that poor Ginny got caught perving on him in the changing room. I want to say she's innocent and didn't mean to, but she made it a point to keep quiet and wait for those boxers to drop. Too bad they didn't have little snitches on them.
Then her ignoring plans are foiled by Draco ignoring her. She really can't win this one.
Of course in the end Draco comes to his senses and lets her in. Sweet little fluffy reward for our tortured Ginny.
The best part was the last line. Even after getting what she wanted she continues on her oblivious and stubborn wanting ways. Go Ginny!
And I would love a companion story that shows what Draco is thinking in all of this.
Great job on the whole story! Excellent interpretation of the prompt and just all around fun story!
Author's Response: Ooo, cotton cauldrons of confusion is a good one. *laughs* And LOL at Percy and the cauldron bottom thickness.
Haha, she's innocent and yet not. I think she was just too curious for her own good, and I think her daydreams would suggest that she's not the most prudish of young girls.
Alas, poor hapless Ginny never seems to get her plans to work. I was going to write the 'ignoring' plan, but then I realised it wouldn't be very exciting, and could be just as easily dealt with in a few lines. Much like the drawing and cake idea.
Tortured sounds about right. The poor girl really did make things worse, but she did, eventually, get her reward. Those last few lines were the stuff I added in after the exchange. The original ending didn't quite cut it for me, and then I realised that I could have it come back full circle. She's not trying to get his attention now, she's instead trying to keep his attention. I love the fact she's so determined and crazy in this. It made it so much fun to write.
Anyway, I'm very happy you thought this was a good interpretation of the prompt. I did love your idea, and I wanted to do it justice. I'll be working on the companion fic soon. Right now I'm working on chapter two for Walk Like an Egyptian.

sweetest thing of LIFE!!!! I loooove this, it's sooo cute :D:D
I love the characterization and the complete naivety and how the slytherins were also just kids and they weren't evil or some crap and how you didn't force intense make-out sessions on them :D
this really made my day :D
bee245
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it so much. I always wanted this to just be a cute, simple and light-hearted fic. I wanted the characters to really feel like their age, which is why there are no intense make-out sessions, despite Ginny's daydreams, and everything is just very youthful and awkward. I also didn't want the Slytherins to be evil. To me, they are just your typical bullies in the books. I think JKR makes things far too black and white, and while later in the series the Slytherin boys obviously do become questionable in their behaviour, I still don't think, if given the right situation, that they would be evil.

“Perhaps I’m being too subtle?”
Yes Ginny, about as subtle as the Moment Brick.
LOL. Even the daisies were trying to get her to see the truth.
Goyle has banana muffin breath. Horrifying.
For some reason I can perfectly visualise Ginny's cauldron knickers in my head... as she attempts to keep her face from being buried in Goyle's bum. While Crabbe flirts with her. The horror.
I love when Draco tells Ron he should try for the stage with his theatrics. Poor Ron, always the court jester.
What a fun chapter with Ginny's desperate attempt and relying upon Slytherins to play their various parts. She really is delusional. ^_^
Author's Response: Yes Ginny, about as subtle as the Moment Brick.
Hahaha. That cracked me up.
Yes, everything was out to get her this time. The daisies, the Grindylow...but you still have to give her points for being determined.
I always imagined the cauldron knickers being white with brown or grey cauldrons on them, and a slight purplish mist emanating from the cauldrons. They're quite hideous. LOL. Poor Ron is always the court jester, but he makes it so easy. I just had to write him that way.

'She had cleavage. Almost.' LOL Poor Ginny.
Her Shrieking Shack daydream is so familiar. I think I've had these types of daydreams myself.
Again you have captured the obsessed!Ginny that I wanted. ^_^
Not mentioning the toilet was a bonus. Oh, Ginny.
This chapter was hilarious from start to finish. From her determination to work with what she had to her constant thoughts of Draco and her blind eye to the truth.
And he called her a hooker.
Bonus!
Author's Response: I didn't think it would be right to have Ginny having those 'curves she grew over the summer'. She's thirteen, so I decided to keep her in all her youthfulness, which included no cleavage. Haha, those daydreams were based on my own experiences. When I was that age, I was terrible for daydreaming about rather risque encounters with the boy I liked. Of course, they never happened that way. *sigh*
Anyway, I'm glad you liked this chapter. I really did just fall in love with this prompt, so I really wanted to just have fun with it. That included mocking all those "Ginny gets a makeover" stories we always seem to see. She's always described as a hooker in them, so this time I decided to have Draco call her that.

Ah Moogle Boogums - you have captured the Ginny that I was looking for perfectly.
She is aware of what she wants but is quite unaware of what the reality of the situation is. She wants Harry and is at quite a loss as to why he doesn't seem to notice. Totally in denial of the fact the he notices, just doesn't reciprocate.
Then on to our lovely Draco. He sends a smile *sigh* and Cupid nails her with a moment. Doesn't matter that the smile wasn't for her, she sees her new target and she prepares for battle.
I totally wanted an oblivious to everything but what she sees as her destiny Ginny and this is exactly what you've given here.
Perfection!!
Author's Response: I'm glad I did this one justice for you. I remember when I first saw this prompt and just knowing that I had to write it. I could already envision a crazy, very youthful Ginny that is determined to get Draco Malfoy to notice her. The first part with Harry was really my way of showing how she moved on from the boy wonder. I didn't want to break away from too much canon facts, and, as we know, Ginny still had her silly crush on Harry by his fourth year.

Author's Response: Oh, you're from Brazil?
Where I'm from, most boys that age (and the girls) are not even virgins. It's quite disgusting. Kids are growing up way too fast now.
Anyway, the Ginny and Draco in my story are not like that. I just wanted to keep things cute and innocent, as it should be for people that age.

She is very young for Draco to notice her in that way
i think that is part of the fun/pitty thing[much like watching a kid falling and as they don't get hurt really badly we actually laugh at the cuteness pity of it all]
Crabbe is definately stupider than Goyle!
=P
Oh i can't wait for the next chapter of walk like an egyptian!
It was really esciting!
;D
What are you recovering from?
What happened?

Author's Response: Haha, that's a nice way to sum it up. Yes, it is part of the fun/pity thing. It's not that it would be wrong of him to notice her in that way, but it just wouldn't really occur to him to notice her in that way.
Ah, just recovering from several late nights, as well as last night's very long celebrations. Anyway, I'm working on the next chapter of WLAE right now. Turns out I'm not as tired now as I was this morning.

“Perhaps I’m being too subtle?” mused Ginny.
HAHA! One of the best lines of this chapter (and there are so many).
I adore all of you stories as you are a wonderfully talented writer; however, this short story holds a special place in my heart -- merely because of its simple elegance and humour.
You really did an amazing job with Ginny here.
Author's Response: Thank you, Lia! I'm really glad you liked this one. It's definitely not the kind of thing I usually write, at least not as a chaptered fic, which is really why I decided to take on the prompt. Writing this was like a breath of fresh air after all the dark, angsty chapters of Grey, and I think that's why I did make it crazier than usual. I just wanted to have fun with it, and I think that came through in the writing.

She's the [almost] exact opposite from the Ginny we meet in Walk like an Egyptian!
plus, she's far too young for Draco to actually notice her that way...
i pity the poor girl, but you certainly made us augh with such a portrait of them.
=)
I loved the banana breath thing, simply hillarious and poor Crabbe and Goyle!
They couldn't be stupider,could they?
this was fun
you should post more soon!
but i prefer to get a new chapter of WLAE first, if you don't mind
;)
kisses
Author's Response: I think nearly every Ginny I've written (and I have written a lot) is different from her counterpart in another story. I get bored if I write her the same every time. You're right, though. She is very young for Draco to notice her in that way, but there's always a way, as Ginny would tell you. ^_~
Laughter is what I'm aiming for with this. It really was just supposed to be a funny, slightly absurd story about Ginny doing crazy things to get Draco's attention (that's basically the gist of the prompt). I think Crabbe might be stupider than Goyle. Goyle actually knew what CPR was. *snickers*
This story is already finished, so I will be updating the next chapter of this soon. I still have to write the rest of Walk Like an Egyption, and at the moment I'm still recovering, so I don't think writing will be on the agenda today. That being said, I will be trying to update that soon.

Thus far I'm really enjoying reading this take on D/G. I love Hogwarts-era fics because the D/G interaction makes sense and I like that you haven't just taken the easy option by shoving them in the same class or some equally lazy plot point.
I love Ginny as the stalker/obsessed one in the relationship although I hope of course that Draco soon begins developing just as much interest in her. I hate one-sided fics because I just want to yell at the other person to pay attention!
I find Ginny to be a very sympathetic character at the moment and very easy to relate to. I love her DIY makeover failing because I think it's much more realistic than the 'OMG, Ginny turned into a Sex Goddess overnight' fics.
Basically I'm trying to say - a job well done and I definitely look forward to reading more of Ginny's (mis)adventures in her courtship of (oblivious) Draco!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it. I always feel that if I'm going to write a Hogwarts fic (something I don't do very much) then I might as well try to make it work with what I know from the actual books. Hence, this particular story has a lot of GoF references, as that is the time when this story is set. I also try to base the characters around that, but Ginny is a little crazy, I'll admit.
The prompt actually called for stalker/obsessed Ginny. Well, not quite. The actual words were to just have her trying to get his attention in amusing ways, so Draco has no choice but to be oblivious, but you can be sure that he will notice her eventually. There would be no romance otherwise. As for Ginny herself, I'm glad you find her sympathetic. I wanted her to be young and a little ridiculous. The makeover idea was actually more me having a laugh at all those kind of fics (nothing makes me click the back button faster than a 'Ginny-has-a-makeover-and-everyone-now-loves-her' story. I'll confess that I like to poke fun at things, including my characters.
Anyway, the next chapter should be up soon. I don't plan to take too long uploading this fic.

Oh you posted the second chapter! I didn't even see. Stupid work preventing me from reading fan fiction!
*squeals with delight*
This is 1) my favourite chapter in this wonderfully hilarious story, and 2) I believe it is my favourite chapter in any DG story of all time.
The chapter title says it all: The Day That Ginny Weasley Became a Prostitute!
Delightful! I have said it many times in many reviews, truly wonderful to read. Ginny reading Cosmo-esque magazines, fishing through an especially woolly wardrobe, and imagining Draco staring at her open-mouthed as she tosses her hair effortlessly, coyly grins at him and says huskily, "You like what you see?"
Genius, woman! Genius! The fact that when she is rocketed out of her daydream to the effect of Draco comparing her to a hooker only made the imagery that more magical -- magical in its accuracy and hilarity.
Merlin, I love this story.
Author's Response: Wow. If I could blush, I do believe I would be quite pink right now. Thanks, Lia. ^_^
