hmmmmm...I like very much, however, Bad Anise! Suspense kills! No suspensing and writing! Not ever! I'll have to get Mother's Against Suspenseful Writing on your case! ok, so that joke might have been in bad taste, so, I apologize to whoever reads this that has been horribly affected by drunk driving.
Good job on the story thus far, I am waiting eagerly to find out wtf is going on! XD love you!
Author's Response: Sorry about the suspense... I didn't mean for it to go on so long, but I'm working on the next chapters and will post them ASAP. I think everyone's routers blew out.

This is getting so, so good. I'm in love with 16-year-old Draco. I think Ginny is really the one...but how was she chosen then? And by who? Questions, Questions...And then also the whole Marie issue! Argh! Stupid Marie. I keep on feeling like she's just Ginny though. Maybe D and G ran away and now they have to go by alias names...I don't know. *looks pathetic* Anyways, this is my absolutely favorite of all your stories. Please, please update soon? :)
XOXO, JT
Author's Response: I love 16 y.o.!Draco too. He was actually the very first character who rode in on the plot bunny's back for this fic. :) No, you're not pathetic! The Ginny/Marie question really is central to the entire thing. Thank you so much for your kind, kind words and your great reviews. :)

ps. (double review time! :) ) is it merely coincidence that an echinoderm's hardened shell is called a "test" or that they have regenerative powers? Perhaps that hints to the past Ginny/Draco somehow?
pps. I really should be studying for my exams now, but instead, I am searching for hidden meanings behind echinoderms--hey, at least I can pretend that this will help me for bio! :)
Author's Response: Yay! Echinoderm knowledge! (ahem) Yes, I'm sure that will help for your bio exam.

Excellent chapter, as always. I love the photo/portrait-Dracos!
Hoping this theory batch is super-chocolatey and good! So the lock of blond hair tied with the green ribbon is from Marie. But is "Marie" really Ginny who somehow goes back in time and ends up in the Crystal Palace, where she becomes Draco's companion for some ceremony that initiates him into "manhood", but must disguise herself so that her-self and other people at that time don't recognize her and cause some time paradox, or just chooses to remain under the aforementioned illusion after initiated-Draco selects her because she is insecure about some aspect (maybe being a Weasley?) and that is why her hair is accepted by the snarky box and why Draco writes "Mine mine mine"? (whew, one LONG sentence--and I love the word snarky, and can totally hear Draco saying that :) )
Why is Draco acting so different? Did he just have some kind of meeting outside with a person/being who reminded him of some duty/responsibility/reason why he can't have Ginny?
And as for the echinoderm shells and daisy crown...maybe clues/momentos that Ginny gives past-Draco to remember her because his memory might somehow have to be erased?
And why do you keep mentioning Loki and Draco's heritage? Will we see Loki (potentially in league either with Lucius because Draco owes him [Loki] something or with Draco for entertainment value or for payback for one of Lucius' crimes) soon?
Please update soon! (and let me know how burnt my batch is from my overactive imagination :) )
Author's Response: Oh, I love this theory batch... (sits down with milk)
Yes, the blond hair is Marie's. Mm. Very VERY chocolately theories (dips theory-chip cookie into milk), and that's all I'll say about that. ;) Yes, Draco just had to do something that he really, really, really isn't happy about at all. This will eventually be the aforementioned exceptionally evil plot device of utter evil-ness, which will be revealed a few chapters down the road.

Aarrrggh I keep checking this story every day because I'm so eager for a new chapter.. And knowing you have written everything already just makes me want to hack your computer.. :(
Author's Response: Thank you thank you so much! :) It almost never ends up being a good thing when somebody says that they want to hack into your computer, but I think this actually is. Hopefully. :) (This doesn't mean you can actually DO it, right?) ;) Besides, I haven't written EVERYTHING... just a LOT of it... (files protected by Plot Bunny of DoomGuardWare)

Since I haven't reviewed last chapter maybe I'll do both.
Chapter 13: I really liked Draco in it. The way he primises Ginny he'll protect her(and I don't believe he only does it because he feels obligation to her) and the way the muscle in his jaw jumps to indicate that he got emotional. And he still manages to be the arrogant Malfoy when he says he doesn't explain himself to anyone. Not that he can pull that one on Ginny...And Iliked the line about the dragon-"yes the dragon is responsible". I'm glad that Ginny finally started using her head. I also have a question: in previous chapter the foto Dracosaid that he knows what Ginny did inthe night of her first visit to Lyme Regis cottage because he knows everything that is in real Draco's memory but Draco was asleep when Ginny "molested" him so how can it be in his memory. Does this mean he wasn't really sleeping? Or was it a subconcious thing?
Chapter 14:
Well, it definetely seems that there's a connection between Marie and Ginny since Ginny's hair openes a crate with things that have memories from Marie. Marie seems older than Draco at the fotogtaph. Could that be Ginny who went back in time working under disquise? But then it's hard to picture Ginny being a companion at Crystal Palase even for noble reasons. Also she's not experienced to be teaching Draco in that particular area unless she goes back in time after somesessions with him. Oh well, we'll just wait and see what really happens. And if Marie was Ginny than Draco already knows it. Ibet some evil Lucius's plot is behind this. Did he make some deal with the devil involving our couple? And speaking of Draco, he is really creepy in this chapter. I suppose he really had todo something evil, like killing someome or something of sorts and it seems that he is somewhat resentful of ginny right now because she is the reason he had to do it. Poor Ginny. Sorry for bubbling. Really interesting chapter! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Double review, yay! (does the Happy Double Review Dance. It kind of looks like a routine from Zumba class, but not as coordinated.)
Now, the question about what photo-Draco said in the last chapter is a REALLY interesting one, and I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. Yes, it will be referred to again. ;) And good speculations about Chapter 14... much more to come after we all get out from underwater! (starts swimming. Actually, not such a good idea. Dupont and PSC Chemical Plant were upstream.)

Ugh! Such a cliffhanger! But yes...I am hoping Ginny is Marie...but at this point I don't know if that is true. :( But I'm glad you write in such a way that it's not obvious if she is or isn't. :)
Also the last sentence, "There was something about the way he’d said those words, something about the way he’d said everything since he came into the cottage, that was making her very, very uneasy." LOVE THAT! Haha. Reading it made me feel uneasy too!
Can't wait for the next chapter :)

Very interesting. I have to admit that although I do have some idea of who is after them (Lucius) I do not know why. I want Marie to be Ginny, but I just don't see how! And why would Ginny's hair open the lock if all of Malfoy's things are inside? Unless they are really her things in some parallel universe that might be going... and in response to other's reviews, i think that is Draco! Oh, well! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Love love love the theories! (does Happy Theory Dance.) Again, some are closer than others. ;)

Could it be that Marie is Ginny? That Ginny travelled back in time to finally sleep with Draco because she knows she can have him as a eighteen year old boy, and that he disappears six months because he's with her? And that she does some kind of spell to look different, and calls herself Marie?

I love this chapter, especially how Ginny is not intimidated by Draco even though he basically told her to shut up. And, speaking of Draco, I love how he smells like chocolate--best scent ever (except for maybe cookies fresh out of the oven, but most of the time, the best-smelling cookies have some type of chocolate in them :) )
The lock for a lock idea is really clever, and the cuckoo clock is hilarious. Also, I love the snarky lock :)
What could be in the box? Hmm. Some secret regarding Draco's past? And is that why can only Ginny open it? Plus, who sealed the box--Draco or some other person (potentially even past-Ginny )?
And I think that the person in Gringotts(according to you, Lucius is a good guess so I'm just going to refer to the person as such) is the same as the person outside. And the magic-weakening spell was sent by Lucius, who is the "Malfoy Dragon" because the Dragon represents some type of duty/ancestry that Draco can't escape. Yes, no, maybe so?
And Ginny's studio is what you were referring to! Wow, I made the shielded place so much more complex than it was :) But why are they at Lyme Regis? I looked it up online, and could the Leper's Well or the Heritage Coast have anything to do with why they are there? Or am I totally overanalyzing? (again :) )
Please update soon!
Author's Response: Even more very good theories! And yes, once again, some are closer than others, but this was a very good batch... (takes Chocolate Theory Chip cookies out of the oven.) Yes, there's a reason why I chose Lyme Regis, and there are more clues in the next chapter, which is coming reasonably soon!

Ah! The suspense is killing me!
Well, I'm pretty sure it's Lucius Malfoy outside, chasing them around, and he's not really dead, and probably behind the Death Eater activity that has Harry and Hermione in such an annoying tizzy.
It was so great that I had my suspicions confirmed about Draco helping her out with the whole loan business. He had a perdy good reason too. But we all know that art had nothing to do with it.
I also loved how Draco /suggested/ to Ginny that she wasn't curious about the dragon anymore.
And the photograph Ginny and Draco from the previous chapters were so cute. (Especially how Draco clocked Blaise a good one, and when he said: 'three-dimensional space time is a little much for even a Malfoy') It was so cute that they were still in character. I'm glad that they've already worked out their relationship problems and have gotten to the good stuff.
And about Draco and Marie, well, Marie reminds me of Marie-France, the redhead courtesean from the Quick and the Dead. I can only wonder if Draco pulled the same sort of thing with and Alternate Universe version of her, and that's why he calls that particular name. Or maybe he's botching his french, and he's calling out mari, instead of Marie, meaning wife, and Ginny's just not fluent. That could explain her no-sex curse, if maybe a furture her and Draco got married or are enchantedly betrothed with a bonding spell. (Or maybe even present day, if Draco did something like the dream transportation in MoM.) Ya never know. But I'm going to stop theorizing before I get so behind I end up running over myself.
Oh, one last thing, I loved your little mini-riddle. "A lock for a lock". Quite clever.
Author's Response: You have some truly fascinating guesses here. Some are closer than others. ;) The photograph!Draco and Ginny did work out their issues a lot faster than the real D&G, didn't they? THEY still have a way to go... much more to come!

*sighs* I am so excited. It sounds like Draco and Ginny are about to spend some romantic alone time together at that Lyme Regis house. Hopefully, lots and lots of shagging next chapter. *gets all giddy* And I really want to know what's in those crates! The curiosity is killing me....but Ginny is the mistress, so was she and Draco married/involved at some point, she just doesn't remember it/hasn't happened yet but Draco knows about it? Can't wait. Please update soon!

Author's Response: More interesting stuff is coming up at the cottage! And let's just say that there DOES come a point, SEVERAL points, LONG sections, where this fic richly, richly earns its NC-17 rating through much muchly D/G goodness. Let's also just say that it may take some circuitous routes to get there.
