The plot THICKENS!!! (rubs hands together, cackling.)
I love, LOVE a narrative with such a well-defined plot. (And if you've been in a F2F writers' group, you know how hard to find that really is... :P)
(and if anybody likes to read the reviews BEFORE reading the chapter, spoiler space, spoiler space, spoilery spoilery spoiler space...
What a great feeling we get for Draco's character here... his old self overlaid on the new.
Why did Draco get so much of his memory back NOW?? What triggered the return? And why hasn't it happened to Ginny? And what did he do to the twins? And why does it seem like they remembered more all along than he did?
I'm SURE that answers are coming soon... :) (said hopefully)
(sigh) Now I have to go and read this horrible thing somebody submitted in that F2F writers' group. Or... I guess it's not really *horrible* so much as it is riddled with basic mistakes that FIA writers would never make. I've been very spoiled by reading here for so long. ;)

thank you for carrying on with this story. This chapter kept me on edge and worried about what will happen next. I check almost every day to see if you posted the next chapter.
Also, I like how we learn more and more about the characters in an indirect way, like in this chapter, which is mostly about Draco, we learn, in the end, that Ginny, though she loves him, doesn't really trust him. Otherwise she wouldn't have thought of the possibility that she might not see him again - that he ran off. Perhaps she was always afraid that one day he will.
Also, I'm intrigued about Fred and George - it seems that they, like Luna know what's going on.

DRACO RETURNS! YES. What an interesting way for him to regain his memories. It's literally like he's lived two different lives, Draco and Drew, and instead of regaining all of his memories as Draco on top of his Drew memories, he actually just "woke up." Definitely wasn't a turn I thought this was going to take, which is awesome. KEEPIN' ME ON MY TOES. His confusion and disgust is so perfect and so Draco. I've said this before, probably more than once, but your characters are so on point. Like, there is a clear difference between Drew and Draco, which is a lot easier to see now because Draco has been Drew since the beginning of the story. But he never feels out of character, even with this identity crises. And I can't imagine how weird it must be for Draco to suddenly be ten years older than he remembers being, having sex with Ginny Weasley against the wall of a Waffle House in the United States. Like, I'm surprised he didn't instantly go insane. But his first reaction to run away seems appropriate, given the situation.
(I feel like I'm rambling... sorry. :P)
Anyway, I REALLY enjoyed this chapter. I want to know where Draco and the twins went! Why do Fred and George (and Luna?) seem to know what's going on, but Draco and Ginny don't? Or did they just "wake up" first and they don't have any idea either? And most importantly, did Fred and George's noses bleed because of ~magic~ or were they popping Nosebleed Nougats??
Can't WAIT until the next update! (And I hope Gwen punches Draco for ditching her like that.)

This is just encouragement to not stop writing. I look forward to your new chapters!
