Redemption by search4inspiration    (Reviews - 43)

How would things be different if Draco had accepted Dumbledore's mercy at the end of book six? Follow the canon characters as they are forced into company with Draco and struggle to survive in a warring wizarding world. And yes, there will be romance.

Aaww, poor Dracobeing stripped of his right to insult others... It's almost sad. I do wonder where Ron went. Perhaps to coax Ms. Granger out of her room, hmmm? And where is my Cissy? I love Narcissa, she has great potential! Can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response: I haven\'t decided about Narcissa yet... buuuuuuut I\'m leaning toward leaving her out of this fic... for the purpose of the plot (which is all planned out in my head, no holes!) I think it would be better without her. Sorry! :)

Oh, as for the italics thing, it sounds like you're not ending the code. After you've put everything you want italicized after , you need to end it with I had to put periods in there otherwise it wouldn't show up, but be sure to remove the periods when you use the code.

Author's Response: I think it still didn\'t show up... but thanks for trying! I think I\'m going to mess around with it right now...

Author's Response: I just figured it out! I feel pretty dumb... it was very easy--you\'re right, I wasn\'t ending the code. Thanks for your help!! :)

This was fantastically written and the plot was very original. I also liked the idea that this was not their first encounter and moreover that they were both okay with this particular instance when they discovered each other's identities... Draco's last line was both intriguing and satisfying. I only have one quip and that was Draco's asking Ginny for a kiss, I don't know, but for me that read more Neville than Draco...

Author's Response: Ah, Draco\'s request. Yes, that\'s slightly passive for Draco, but you have to remember that he did that when he was dancing with someone he thought he didn\'t know. I imagine Draco is a bit more circumspect in public, especially if the possible consequence is public humiliation.

Actually, this makes a lot of sense. It was so emotionally jarring and intriguing. It was beautiful like the most magnificent painting and yet too sad to linger upon. That's the way I felt reading this and although it may have more to do with personal experience than anything else, the fact that you affected me so deeply speaks greatly to your talent as a writer. I understand that sometimes, a story simply stops, and I don't think you should apologize one more time. These pieces were more than enough to both placate and please and you must know how much we appreciate them.

Oooo, this was very sexy. I loved the banter, it was equally humorous and arousing. The plot was very clever. Most of all I loved Ginny's fiery personality. It's nice to see a Ginny that can stand up to Malfoy. It's makes for one hell of a combination!

Awww! I liked this a lot! I love how you paralleled Ginny and Draco's past with Lily and Sev's present predicament. Combined with the brilliance of having Scorpius go by his middle name, "Sev," made this just wonderful! And oh, the subtle details about Ginny and Harry fighting and there being no passion between Draco and his nameless wife... This piece has quiet, but irrefutable D/G brilliance!

Author's Response: This is such a nice review! Thank so much for picking up on EVERYTHING I tried to tie in there. I appreciate it!

Compagnons d'Ame by SMichaelM    (Reviews - 108)

Miss Weasley,
The War has caused a drop in the population of the wizarding world. To correct the situation, the International Confederation of Wizards is arranging marriages for every witch and wizard of age. The marriages are determined by a soul mate spell. Each couple will have to produce three children minimum. All forms of contraceptive are banned. Please come to the Ministry of Magic at 9:00 on Monday morning to be paired with your soul mate. If you do not show up to receive your fiancé(e) on the date above, you will be exiled from the wizarding world.
Sincerely,
Rufus Scrimgeour

I'm enjoying this a lot. The dry humor is especially refreshing. I am a little afraid of what's to come because right now things are too good to last... I can't wait to see what the sleeping arrangements are. Why do I get the feeling that one bed is all there is?

I am loving this story. The plot has such a unique twist and you surprise me in every chapter with something new. I adore Narcissa, who is just perfect and there is something very alluring about your guarded, yet gentle Draco. I am positively hooked!

Author's Response: Thank you. I like letting Narcissa be a nicer person. Draco is more complex in this fic than in my others.

How adorable! This was a perfect blend of snarkiness and sweetness; the essence of good D/G. I loved this line: “You essentially said that you wanted marriage. I decided that being married to you would be quite tolerable. I don’t understand this need for you to hear this again.” Only Draco could get away with such a line! I especially loved the end. It was perfectly timed, humorous and rounded the story out nicely. Excellent job!

Author's Response: Haha thank you. :) I just have this vision in my head of Draco\'s face while saying those lines. Something along the lines of looking at her like she\'s completely insane to be having him explain himself.
