During the speed dating, I was pretty sure Draco knew that Ginny was investigating him. The end of the chapter, though, was hilarious! I look forward to reading the rest. :)

Author's Response: You're just too observant for my humble writing. ;) Really glad you've enjoyed it so far - the final chapter is now posted!

(This is going to be a really awful, fangirly review full of my favorite parts and not much feedback from me. I'm sorry.)

//Draco had emerged from the men's room, Neville thrown across his back in a fireman's carry that made Ginny want to find how exactly where he was hiding all of that muscle. "Don't tell me I have to carry you, too," Draco said to her, with a smirk...//

//Draco smirked at that, but his expression seemed to take on a sardonic tone following her comment - almost as though that was the plan - and didn’t that thought just make her feel hot all over?//

//Ginny stifled the urge to outright ask him what he had thought he would be riding instead - and not because she was terrified that the answer might be you. //

//Cheeks burning, she pushed off him, but not before she managed to get a good handful of his toned stomach and chest. "Sorry," she said, fully aware of his hands on her arms as he helped her off the bed, and disappointed she hadn't taken the opportunity to land a little lower on his person, since it was only a matter of time before aforementioned opportunities were non-existent.//

//He took it gently, his thumb sliding across the back of her hand in a way that made her ache for it to touch naughtier parts of her body, and she was immediately stunned by how intimate Draco had managed to make a handshake, of all things. “It’s been a pleasure.”//

Yaaaaass, gurl. Get it. I am here for it! Ahhhhhhhh, the chemistry between them is blinding!! How do you write these kinds of interactions so well??

This chapter is so great because of these moments between them, but just as Ginny is distracted from her investigation by Draco's flirting, I think your readers are also distracted. It's so easy to forget that Draco is supposedly the subject of an affair case, and that there's something sneaky going on that Ginny is trying to figure out. The way this chapter ends, with the harsh reality crashing down on her, is perfect, because the readers, too, are being reminded that Draco is sneaky and he's been one step ahead the whole time. The chemistry between Draco and Ginny might have been real, but Draco was exacerbating it to get into Ginny's head. And that's just beautiful and so Slytherin of him.

Can't wait to read the conclusion again!!

Extreme sexual repression?
Srsly tho, Draco is just such a big old tease that he makes it easy for me. And quite clearly difficult for Ginny - poor gal. ;)
