Saving Ginny by CCC    (Reviews - 54)

Ginny knew she shouldn't have agreed to test the Animagus collar for Fred and George. Thank goodness a nice man with grey eyes found her. He feeds her fish and lets her sleep in his bed. What more could a cat want?

Lol! Ginny's going to be mortified! I wonder what will happen now? Please update soon, I can't wait to see what both Draco and Ginny's reactions are.

Hehe! I was totally not expecting that! I kinda prefer it this way than with Ginny shrieking in horror at the sight of Draco. *g* I like the breakfast in the cat bowls part. Ginny's tendency to purr still is cute. :)

Flowers of Death by twilight_maiden    (Reviews - 6)

Seven years after the second wizarding war, Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley are trying to rebuild their lives. But when unforeseen circumstance pushes the two of them together, an unlikely romance begins to bloom. Will their relationship survive, or will old prejudices prevail?

A fully canon-compliant story that explores what might have happened before Harry and Ginny, as well as Draco and Astoria. After all, who said that there was a happily ever after?

What an eventful first chapter!

Let me have a few guesses - Ginny is actually pregnant with Harry's child and that's why she's overly sensitive to Draco's taunting. I wonder how Draco will become engaged to Astoria? Will it just be the fact that she's the best of the rest? I look forward to reading the next chapter.

When The World Ends by Eustacia Vye    (Reviews - 31)

Ginny is tired of being pushed into the background as if nothing she endured counted for anything. It turns out, Katie feels the same way. They plan on making a difference in the war, even if no one takes them seriously.

This is a great start to the story. It is refreshing to see two strong female leads in a fic, especially since both of them are so realistic. I particularly like the way you have thought in detail about how each of their experiences with the Dark Arts have effected them psychologically as well as physically. I really like Director Stepanov, as well. I wonder if his neutrality will become an issue in the future, when the war intensifies.

I wonder what Ginny's other motives for wanting to start the training program.
In any case, I look forward to seeing how Draco fits into the picture, other than in a passing mention by Myrtle.

Author's Response: I know I'm terribly guilty of writing victim!Ginny and victim!Katie, but a lot of that is an extension of what's been done to them in canon that was just never addressed. I like playing around in the dark corners of canon, and unfortunately that means I've done a lot of victim stories. ^^; So the idea for this story really grew out of the "I want some strong girls for a change!" feeling. :) I really wanted Ginny and Katie to be more than the cardboard cut out victims, and to have grown from their back stories. They have this intense need to prove themselves, and I wanted to take them along as they figure out what their roles are in life. I'm glad you're liking it so far!

Sharing Penance by Eustacia Vye    (Reviews - 10)

Draco Malfoy served five years in Azkaban. His life restarted at that point, but he had no idea how to live it. As it was during the war, his sanity seemed to revolve around Ginny Weasley.

This was one of my favourite films of the exchange. I really like how realistic you have made Draco's rehabilitation into society. It's not straight-forward and easy, it can be awkward and frustrating, especially at the start. The various other characters we are introduced to during the story have great characterisation and are multi-faceted, which definitely makes the story more engaging. I don't want to spoil the ending for others, so I'll just say that I loved the ending. :)

I look forward to reading more of your fics in the future.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I really had a lot of fun writing the story, and exploring this version of the wizarding world. I'm glad you liked it! :)

The Heart of Light by Lex    (Reviews - 4)

After Ginny's rescue from the chamber, something changes about Draco. Both he and Ginny are forced to view life differently when they're confronted with what it means to almost lose it. Draco is the only person in the world who seems to recognize that Ginny Weasley has been changed forever, and in her eyes, that's worth a lot.

I really like this story. Ginny's thoughts are very realistic, especially for a girl her age. The introspection is just right- not too much and enough to give a good idea of Ginny's state of mind. I wonder how the story will progress. I look forward to reading more of it.

A Question of Fairy Tales by Boogum    (Reviews - 14)

Add one fairy godmother, a randy prince, glass slippers, a conniving redhead, and a rather distressed Draco Malfoy. Mix it together and you've got one very twisted fairy tale.

I am grinning so much right now. It was a brilliant ending. Very well executed. The level of snark was also appreciated! Who would have thought that Draco could be dressed up as a princess and still stay in character! Well done on such a great delivery of the prompt.

Author's Response: Thank you! I had a lot of fun writing this one, so I'm glad you liked it. ^_^

OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Draco) by Januarybaby    (Reviews - 77)

Have you ever wondered why Draco slicks back his hair or why he always looks so perfectly presented? Well, this is the answer.

Aw, this is very cute. Draco is way too naive here, but in this AU it seems to work. I look forward to seeing how Ginny will behave on their not-yet-a-date date.
