Author's Response: Well, yes, that's fair enough... the interaction between Draco and Ginny here is being expressed through their physical relationship for sure.

Wow! What an update...you surely know how to write love scenes. I enjoyed how you showed the differences how each of the characters felt about pleasure. Well done as always!
Author's Response: Thanks! :) I really feel that in this fic, smut isn't just there for smut's sake (not that there's anything wrong with that either), but to show what's going on with both Draco and Ginny internally... and how their desire for each other and reactions to each other relate to the plot. Because they definitely do, and we're going to see much more of that in the next chapter.

I love the pace, the inclusion of all his thoughts, and they feel so real. Please update soon
Author's Response: Thanks! :) I'm actually working on the next chapter now... hopefully it will be up before I leave on vacation on Thursday (no net access for a week), but if not, definitely soon after that.

Thanks for update Anise. I love how level-headed Ginny is in this fanfiction and how vulnerable Draco is. Can't wait for more!!
Author's Response: Thanks! :) I like that you're picking up on those themes, because I think they're definitely there. Ginny SEEMS to be more vulnerable in some ways, but I think she actually isn't. More coming soon!

I love this chapter, but you really know how to make a person yearn for more. You're quite adept at that. I'm enjoying Draco's POV than I thought I would. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) There's a lot more to come, with lots of twists and turns... we eventually DO get back to Ginny's POV, too.

Noob! You can't just leave it there. I like you have some hints of Draco as his older self watching a scene of his younger self. I can't wait to know more about what's happening to future Draco.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) You caught that!! I was wondering if anybody would. ;) There's more to this story than there seems to be... if you've read the original short version, I think you might have already guessed that. But it also goes way beyond the more simple stuff that was in the Xmas challenge fic...Such as exactly WHY Abraxas Malfoy gave Draco the stone that would send him and Ginny to that lodge.

I enjoy how you write Draco's warring conscience. Also you know how to write NSFW scenes like no other. Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks! :) Um, the scenes can be a bit NSFW, but at least I'm not posting the pics here. ;) For some of these fics (not this one yet, though), there are pics that... well... I haven't posted anywhere yet... maybe I will at some point. I think that Draco's POV scenes are all about the war between the best and worst parts of himself, in a way, but he always manages to pull back. Anyway, more soon!

So mysterious! Is this magical tether Draco feels to Ginny one sided? She obviously likes him, but is she feeling the same draw as he is? Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thanks! :) Well... that question does get answered over the course of the fic... but I think it isn't giving anything away to say that Draco feels drawn to Ginny for a lot of reasons. And one of them is the terrible tension and strain he's going through from all the pressure put on him that year (let Death Eaters into the school and kill Dumbledore, or his entire family dies.) I've always felt like that theme was never EVER explored enough in canon. So Ginny doesn't have that particular motivation, and... that's all I'll say for now. ;)

What? Only one review? I protest! I'll try to find time soon to read and leave a real review. For now - I'm glad you're writing again!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!! :) I agree-- there should be more reviews. Um, I could possibly be just a slight bit biased, though. ;) Another chapter is coming soon.

I'm very intrigued: finding stones, ancient magical oak trees, and a glimpse at Draco's relationship with his grandfather. I'm a sucker for teetering on the edge of the dark side Draco falling for Ginny. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks! :) There's a LOT coming up... and even though this isn't really EXACTLY dark D/G, you're 100% right about Draco balancing on that edge. It's that feeling that he really could fall either way... anyway, there's more coming soon.
