Draco and Ginny work so well together! When he woke her up and she didn't even ask mundane questions and just went into "Auror mode". When Draco was peeking outside the closet and Ginny was sending her Patronus. Ginny placing a Disillusionment spell on Draco and his tapping her leg as a message. Then there's all that Apparating! Ooohh, it's just so intoxicating to read.

Narcissa's message to Draco got me laughing like mad! Panicked and frightened yet still so poised and elegant. She even reprimaded Draco. What a very "mom" move. Haha!

Poor, darling Blaise is not injured (at least I hope so) this time but captured. And Goyle is just doing so well but then he was captured, too. Why, oh why are they going to such lengths to kill Ginny? *sigh*

I'm back to reading and reviewing!! (trying, anyway. ;) It's been very crazy with NaNo and everything else... but I kept seeing this fic being updated, and wishing I had time to get to it.

I love this chapter!! This is one of my favorites, for some reason. You paint such a great picture of Azkaban as it really might have been after the war. And I LOVE the Draco-Lucius relationship here. Everyone might not agree, I don't know... it isn't exactly very warm and fuzzy... but I'm not a big fan of the "let's rehabilitate Lucius as dear old Dad" thing. :P There's enough evidence in canon to show that while Lucius certainly wasn't the epitome of evil, he was not a good father. (There are a few places where I think this evidence shows up, but the final straw was the fact that Narcissa was the one who finally came into Hogwarts after Draco-- if it had been up to Lucius, that never would have happened, which says it all for me.) I've never believed, either, that he showed the capacity for redemption, for even *wanting* to make something better of himself, that Draco ultimately did. So I don't really have any problems with Lucius NEVER being shown as a more admirable person than this (although what you may ultimately decide to to do is still a mystery, of course.)

Favorite line:
As the door clanged shut behind him, Draco wished the remaining five years of his father’s sentence were infinite.

Snerk. I think that Lucius Malfoy's chance of getting a Father's Day card are pretty low at this point.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to review the next chapter, but soon, I hope! :)

You have got to be kidding me! What a cliffhanger!! But an oh, so delicious one. Bravo! I am very worried about the wards falling though, and while everyone is asleep to boot. Good thing Draco felt it before it happened, so there's still hope for the residents of Malfoy Manor! Though I am at my wit's end trying to figure out why and how the wards fell.

Still doing a great job on the story! Keeping everything interesting. And congrats on the thousands of read count so far. I know those numbers will only go higher. 'Til the next chappie! x

Oh no!! The Dark Mark!! Where in Merlin's beard did that come from?! I was so excited to see the outcome of the Quidditch match but then another one of your surprises happened! Could Lucius be behind this? Hmmmmm. On to the next chapter!

Wow, I gotta say, this has been one of my favorites. It was great adding those little bits of canon material throughout this chapter! I liked how you kept Draco true to his character and hasn't magically started getting along with everyone at once. Loved the whole party scene and also good balance between the interaction of characters. Of course, I should have expected that something amiss would happen by the end of the chapter -- was not disappointed.

Although short, I liked this chapter a lot! You set the perfect atmosphere in Azkaban...very unsettling. Good interaction and dialogue between Draco and his dad! Ahhh the plot thickens...

Lucius' sentence is not for a lifetime?! Oh my Godric, that can't be good. The plot thickens with this little field trip and I like the suspense of it all! This fic is definitely not a mushy, lovey-dovey D/G fic that focuses on just them (that can grow pretty old). It has romance, yes, but it won't be sickeningly sweet. Hooray! Awaiting your next update. Xx

Eurrgh... I felt cold and yucky on the inside reading that. Which means great writing of course!
Name: idreamofdraco reviewed Chapter 12: Trying Something New on Nov 06, 2014 09:13 am
Ha! I thoroughly enjoyed Draco and Ginny watching - and discussing - X-Men. And Draco insisting that wizards were playing the characters (or that the characters themselves were wizards instead of mutants) because he couldn't believe the movie effects! XD

I like Hermione more and more as the story goes on. She only had a little part in the beginning, but she has a backbone now that I'm loving. And her reaction to going back inside Malfoy Manor - sad, but perfect. I think it's just the reaction she'd have. There's no way she left there emotionally unscarred.

I repeat, bloody brilliant story, premises, approach to plot, writing quality, characterization, fleshing out of all personalities, intrigue, pace, sophisticated humor-inducing laughter to stitch bursting levels, this story is in the golden standard category for fan-fiction, original fiction too, probably, you are a wonderful person for sharing this with readers!

Author's Response: Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I am literally sitting here gaping at my computer screen as I reread your review. This means the absolute world to me. Getting feedback like this is 11000% why I share it with readers, so THANK YOU! :D

Awwwwwwwww. ;______; This was such a good chapter. I felt so bad for Draco in the beginning, pining away while Ginny acted as if their date was nothing serious. But the headline in the paper was hilarious! And yay! Blaise is back!

Some of my favorite parts:
//He pulled his arm back, using the other to push up its sleeve. The faint, raised scar of the Dark Mark stood ghostly white against his pale skin. "My entire life consists of two halves: wanting this, and hating it. Its taint rests on everything I've ever done." Even now, this was the first time he'd shown it willingly since Voldemort's defeat.//

Ginny touching the Dark Mark (I just find something so nice about it. ;_; Intimate in a vulnerable way.)

//Ginny didn’t let go of his arm. The sleeve caught on her hands. He waited, unsure what she was up to. “I always knew it was there,” Ginny offered lightly. “I didn’t expect it to be so faint.”

Draco blinked hard, and she could see as the emotions caught in his throat. “It’s all I can see,” he finally managed.

“It’s not all I see,” Ginny replied. She slid one hand down his arm, lacing her fingers through his.//

And, of course, their kiss and this exchange:
//“What, you think I let just anyone share my chocolate ice cream?”

“You think I put up with just anyone spoon-feeding me?” he growled in response.//

Great chapter!

//“Don’t worry, Hermione!” Ginny answered with false brightness. “I’m still a Weasley, and that’ll keep him further from me than anything you could conjure up.”//

Bahahaha. Little does she know...

I wonder why the Death Eaters wouldn't attack Draco. I'm guessing he's being saved for someone a little higher up the totem pole. Or maybe they want to pin Ginny's death on Draco?

Hahaha what a perfect movie date! Love how the banter between them hasn't changed. Ooooo next chapter seems like it'll be pretty intense - can't wait!

Can I just say that's it so awesome they had a date in the Muggle world and they watched X-Men in cinemas? I love Marvel!! Plus their interaction with Fred and Hermione and that twist at the end! Oh, you're a genius! MORE!! :)

The kiss was absolutely worth waiting for. I'm so happy that Ginny and Draco gave themselves a chance. And the scene when Draco showed Ginny his Dark Mark was breathtaking and heartbreaking.

Thank you for this chapter.
