I've never found this and I don't know why. Lucky guess choosing to sort the titles by the letter O!

Really really lovely. It's something you definitely can imagine the Weasleys doing and I like the thought process that he goes through before he decides to go downstairs. Thank you xx

Author's Response: Thank YOU for reading! I'm so glad you stumbled across it. n_n This is one of those stories that I would love to expand but can't find the time to work on it, so I really like it, and I'm glad you found it!

This story has a lot of potential to continue it. I hope you decide continue it very soon.

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd really like to continue this, and I even have an idea for a second chapter in mind. I just need to find the time to write it!

This is a great one to expand. I know that quite a few one-shots can seem that way, but it doesn't mean that all of them really have that potential. I think that this one does. It's such a good beginning, and it's so intriguing to ponder what might have happened next. We really don't know what happened after the Malfoy trial (and I kind of hope we don't learn more than the vague statement we have now... some things should be left to the imagination, considering how Draco was treated in DH as a whole. :P

But this is one of the more interesting aspects of post-Hogwarts life to consider, for sure. If Draco wasn't convicted (and as far as we know, he wasn't), then what did happen? Was he just released into the wizarding world again? Or no? This is a very believable scenario, and I think that fics work best if they have *some kind* of basis in canon, regardless of far afield they range after that.

So... great job, and I, for one, would love to see more! (After Jan 26, of course!!)

Author's Response: If I expand this one, I definitely wouldn't go into more detail about Draco's imprisonment and trial. That's not what the story would be about, and I honestly don't think I could write an accurate or sincere trial scene anyway. To write anymore would probably seem fake. The important thing is just that Draco sat in jail until his trial was all over, it took almost six months, his parents were convicted, and he was freed. The rest of the story (and the part that has me pretty excited) is definitely the "what next." That's my favorite thing to write, I think, the parts of the story that DH skipped. I like to think about what actually happened to Draco and his family, to Ginny and her family, to Harry, to the world, because after the war they fought, after allll of their suffering and struggles, they would allll be changed people. And that's okay. I just like to see how they develop after such an ordeal. There are a lot of interesting motivations and feelings that BEGIN in DH or even earlier , but you don't see the resolution of them. *shakes fist at Epilogue of Doom* I'm glad you like this premise! I definitely hope to write more (after Jan 26, of course ;D). Thanks for the review!

Oh, very nice. I loved Percy turning into a giant chicken - if that doesn't lighten someone's mood, nothing will. :) I hope this does get expanded, it definitely has potential for more.

Author's Response: I really, really hope I do expand this! I started writing a story that took place during the war, where Draco stays at Grimmauld with the Order and he grows close to Ginny in the process. But the story disappeared from my computer and I was never able to retrieve it. So this is a plot I've wanted to write about for a loooong time. I just have to take care of my exchange fic first! Hopefully I'll still have the motivation to expand this story! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing!
