Oh dear, what's in the crates? Tools for human sacrifice is my guess.

Well, I can't blame you for slowing the updates a bit, you've been spoiling us right now. :p

And oo hoo Ginny's a bit scandalous! I love when they get to just throw all caution to the wind though. It seems so refreshing. :D

ah, I haven't had time to read chapter 8, but I've just done so. great chapter! I have to admit, I'm a little...wary/suspicious at the Astoria/Draco bits. It kind of sounds like they're married or in a relationship, an arranged one at least since she's telling him to be "discreet" and everything. I loved that she has a "horsey" face though. :)

Great job! Now i'm off to read chapter 9.

I love Zenobia Smith! She totally shut Astoria down in witty, cunning way. I actually had to look twice though, because I thought initially "Zenobia" was "Zacharias". :) How did you come up with Zenobia's name ?

Draco's reaction to Astoria is excellently described--I could tell through his actions (rather than you explicitly saying) that he doesn't really care about/is tired of Astoria.

Speaking of which, is this new plot element the involvement of Astoria (potentially with Draco)? Or the nosy Rita Skeeter and the importance of the press/media?

Please update soon! Can't wait for the next chapter :)

Author's Response: I liked the idea of the Smiths giving all of their babies "Z" names. Yep, Draco has about had it with Astoria (or has he ever had "it" for her?) The new plot element is coming right up... ;)

Ohhh I think I have an idea about what's happening! I could very obviously be wrong espesically with your twisty plots, but is there two Draco Malfoys in the present, one that's supposed to be there and one that's not?

Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I love that theory, but it's not quite what's going on. Very good guess though. It would be a great plot bunny for another fic!

Oh, Anise! You're deliciously EVIL!

I adore the premise of this story and your characterization of Draco in it. Yes, he's spent time with Ginny, but just because he wants to succumb to her quirky, feminine wiles does not mean that he'll instaneously snap out of all the qualities that make him *Draco*. Thank you for that. It's the dance between his character's snarkiness and her character's stubbornness that you choreograph so very well. I feel like no step is left out in their development and the growth of the plot.

The characters you've introduced that are not a part or not elaborated upon in canon seem just like an extension of those found JKR's carefully crafted world.

Thanks for giving your readers just a taste enough to tickle the Draco-palate, but leave us thirsty for more.

Daisy

Author's Response: (basks in evil compliments of evil-ness) Thank you. :) You're right, Draco wants to succumb, but he won't and can't stop being who he is. Now, as for who that really IS.... well, more info coming up on that front...

Ooooohhoohohhoh. I always knew I loved Rita, somewhere deep, deep, deeeeeeep down. ;)

Author's Response: I think that Rita is a fun character in this fic too. She does stir things up, doesn't she?

Hehe, so that's where all the men in white coats went after they stopped chasing me ^_^. I'm off to read chapter eight now.

I love (once again) that she's so self-conscious and that he is NOT completely the opposite. For all that I'm reading far too deeply into this, I get the idea that he's not as comfortable as he seems to be. I'm not sure if that makes sense; forgive me. I ought to not review on the amount of sleep I've had.

I love the little details that you bring in, sort of expanding the world of canon and bringing in these remarkable little insights into the characters at the same time. Well, you do this with Ginny, anyway. I suppose Draco is harder because he's more closed off, and I doubt the Death Eaters have as rousing of a fight song as the Chudley Cannons.

I adore her conversation with her brain. It made me giggle; I know that type of insanity a little too well when it comes to men. Silly things, they are. Though I must say that it says something about the author's brain to write such an inner dialog so accurately. Not that I'm accusing you of madness--I noticed that you have a story with over 120 chapters, and I think that is evidence enough. ;)

I've decided that fate, or gods, or powers-that-be want Ginny and Draco to hook up. That's the only way I can justify this scene in my mind, given Ginny's character up to this point. I think I'll be fairly shocked if I'm totally off-base this time.

Marie, hm? I wondered if it was a girl when he was "Mmm"-ing in the first chapter. But is it a girl? Oh, bother. Now I don't know what to think, and I guarantee it's because I'm so stupid with exhaustion. And I did want to read two chapters tonight, but I'm afraid the second set of thoughts would read more like Ginny's conversation with herself and less like a review of the work. Ah, well.

I'm kind of glad that Draco didn't end up shagging her. I mean, while DG smut is ALWAYS welcome, I feel like Ginny's first time should be memorable and not something that she probably won't even remember. BUT there will be DG shagging very soon, yes? *winks*

Ooh, and Draco's reaction to Marie was interesting. He looks at her deeply and laughs. I mean, that's a pretty hopeful clue that maybe there's a twist to Marie...? I'm just blindly guessing here.

But very hot DG interaction in this one. Me likey.

Great job!

XOXO, JT

Oh wow! I absolutely love it! You're doing so well. Haha, i love that Draco somewhat has a heart in this. You place your clues for the plot very delicately and subtly in each chapter. It's a very entertaining read. I just hope Ginny gets her wish soon!

Author's Response: I love that readers are picking up on the clues. That's one thing I'm really trying to do with this fic because it was actually PLANNED from the beginning, and I'm glad it's entertaining! I hope Ginny gets her wish, but it's up to Draco too... ;)

Who was the person talking to Ginny the night she got off while touching Draco? Who's making her forget important things? Who's the person of being rather that's making her think things she doesn't really think, like say the way she felt nothing when she caught Harry?

Someones working behind the scenes here and it just might be Lucius because I have a feelig he isn't dead is he?

Great update, lots to try to puzzle out!

Author's Response: Oo very SMART! So someone picked up on that about Lucius. I was wondering if anybody would.
