Christmas present for Pipperstorms. When Draco Malfoy loses the Christmas spirit, a series of unusual events, with some unusual people, come in to get him back on track. Reposted on FanFiction.net by me.Category: Completed Short Stories
Thank you for a really cute story that made me laugh. I love the "Christmas Ghost of Past" uhmm I mean the "Ghost of Past Christmases". LOL And Luna as Draco's salvation - "Lovegood, if you are my salvation then I am well a truly screwed."
Some of my favorite things in this D/G carol - Blaise, who I always love if he's not portrayed as evil. The heads on the young bodies; I'm like Draco it was just freaky ( but funny as hell). Especially Pansy being Draco's sister - "I’ve slept with her. She can’t be my sister."; a special kind of hell for Draco.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed all of it. It was an interesting opportunity to use a lot of characters who I normally am not able to, and, shocker, a happy ending. Thanks for the review! :D
Ginny Weasley had always been a tomboy. Growing up with six brothers had seen to that. Now one of the top healers at St. Mungo's it didn't matter that she'd never had a problem with fashion. At leaest not until the day the two main benefactors of her hospital had waltzed in and declaired her a catastrophy.Category: Works in Progress
I really like this so far. I already like your Blaise and can't wait to see Ginny's reaction to Draco's 'condition'.
The interactions between Draco and Ginny will surely be interesting. Especially with Blaise playing referee.
Draco's deepest, darkest secret is accidentally revealed to the world. A hissy fit ensues.Category: Completed Short Stories
This was so funny. I think my favorite line was - "Did you break a nail again? Have you ripped your lucky pair of robes?". And yes, -this did made me chuckle.
Ginny has always enjoyed doing things just to be contrary.Category: Completed Short Stories
I love everything about this story. It was so cute and Ginny and Draco were written wonderfully. I really like this as a one-shot, but would like to see this as a chapter fic also.
Ginny has a life so neat and happy that she is getting bored. She is not a witch to take matters lying down and lures Draco away on Christmas night to carry out her wicked Christmas Scheme.Category: Completed Short Stories
I love this story, it was kinda of hot and sweet. Like Draco ;)
Author's Response: lol, glad you liked it, thanks for the review.
With the war raging around them, Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy find peace and much more whilst living in the Safe House.Category: Long and Completed
I'm trying hard to care about the family and how they feel...but I don't. Where was Harry when Ginny was gone all that time? looking for her? No! He was shagging Pansy! Boo Hoo, I love you Ginny, but I have to keep shagging Pansy (who I like in this fic by the way...let her have George). And I know Ron is grieving, but he hasn't really acted liked he cared about Ginny this entire story. I could understand how he reacted to Ginny in this chapter if not for the fact that last chapter he was pissed at her for not jumping in Harry's bed.
This is my first review for this story but I do love it and look daily for the updates. I'm going to need more than candy though if there's going to be more drama.
Author's Response: Well, firstly, thank you so much for reviewing! I love to get hear from new readers!
Okay, I completely understand your feelings towards the family. I love your commentary on Harry. And you are right. Ron has completely shut down when it comes to dealing with his sister's abduction. He even said he considered her dead at one point (somehwere back in part two). I think that is what has made it so easy for him to react in this manner.
And as for the candy... you might want to stock up a bit. Sorry. :)
I'm glad I went and bought fudge today. I feel like Ginny... I will never forgive them! Never!
Author's Response: I smiled when I read this review. Not because you needed the fudge, but because you quoted Ginny. Awesome. And hopefully the next chapter will not require any self-medication through sugar. :) Thanks so much for reviewing!
I'm really, really, really scared about your comment about it being the last scene between Draco and Ginny; I'm D/G for ever.. and it has to end with them together. OMG
It was a great chapter. My week must have been worst than I thought because I felt NOTHING for Harry. He's full of it and the scene with him and Pansy clinches it for me that Harry cares about....Harry. I am hoping for a happy ending for Hermione and Ron.
Author's Response: Yay! Another review from you! Don't be too scared. It's something I didn't even realize until I was reworking the last chapters. And thanks for the compliments. I love reading your thoughts on Harry. He is def a bit self-absorbed. Thanks again for the review! Last chappie should be out soon.
Happy Late Birthday!! (It's been an interesting week and somehow I lost time and missed this chapter.) I was so happy with this chapter. I loved how Ginny let everybody know she was with child; the whole opening of the outer robes was classic.
I didn't really think it could happen in this fic, but I felt....bad...for Ron. Good Job!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I had a wonderful day. Glad you liked the big reveal with the pregnancy. :) And it is a great compliment to me that you have actually felt bad for Ron. Thank you!
I really enjoy this story; I think the plot is great. Although I have to be honest I only enjoy Draco, Ginny and Thuban because I can't STAND Harry or Ron. I'm a little bit scared about what will happen when the happy family has to leave "The Safe House" and encounter those too. Please let this end well!
Author's Response: Thank you! For the compliment and the review! Yeah, Harry and Ron are not the best in this fic, and the reunion is coming. As for the ending, sorry, but I can't give that away. :)
I loved the reunion between Narcissa and Draco, and I'm so glad she knows about Thuban. Like a true grandmother she loves him already. Hopefully his other grandmother will grow a backbone and stand up to Harry and Ron and help out Ginny.
I'm not sure what happened with the Horcrux site, but I HAVE NEVER doubted Draco for one moment. I can't wait to find out what really happened.
I'm glad George feels Pansy deserves someone other than Harry.
I am so enjoying this story, can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Yay! So glad you loved the reunion. I was a little worried it wouldn't live up to what readers wanted. And Molly has a ways to go, I'm afraid. I love your faith in Draco. It will all be revealed, but not for a while yet. :) And George and Pansy are so much fun to write together. They have some more scenes before the end. I am hoping to post again by Friday. Thank you so much for the review!
Blaise is one of my favorite secondary characters, I just love him. And Harry...well I often don't like him in Fanfic, unless he is already paired with someone. I especially don't like him when he has an entitled attitude, like he does here.
Author's Response: So glad you like Blaise. I love him too. And Harry, well, at least my version (along many others who share our ship) of Harry is very entitled, as you say. I think of him as taking Ginny for granted, which I think he does in canon, and go from there. He has a tendency to be tunnel visioned, too. Add in my never-ending war and the highly disfunctional relationships he's had as an adult, and you get this Harry who is willing to whatever it takes to hold onto what he thinks is right. ... Anyway :) thanks for the review!
It's official, I HATE HARRY!! He knows Lucius killed Severus to save Ginny, either he's really delusional because he's convinced himself that Ginny still wants him despite of all that has happened, and I'm not even counting Draco in that equation, or he's a lying b@#tard. Why all the cliffhangers?? Lucky it's the holiday season. Christmas will help me deal with waiting for the next chapter. Have a Happy Holiday!
Author's Response: Okay, I just answered your previous review so I won't address Harry again. :) And sorry about the cliffie - especially considering it was kind of like a terrible White Elephant Christmas gift, huh? I started posting weekly a long while ago and had no idea it would time out this way for Christmas. So thanks for the review and I hope you had a great holiday as well.
Yeah some holiday fluff! I loved the scene with Narcissa. I can't wait until the family is back together again, (Thanks for the little bit of George and Pansy). Happy New Year!
Author's Response: Thank you! I love the fluff so I'm always happy to have those scenes as well. Glad you loved the Narcissa scene - another reunion scene that I wanted to get right. And George and Pansy are always a fun addition I think. Thanks again! And Happy New Year to you as well!
Still can't stand Ron..he was more human in this chapter, but not where it counts. Yes he was 'kind' for his parents when he said 'Ginny is strong. We all know that.', but I don't think he CARES!!
Really love George, Pansy and Narcissa. I hope you keep including them in the chapters.
Please let Harry wind up alone...of course not Ginny...let Pansy have George...and let Luna be to smart to be with him.
Author's Response: Yeah, I tried to show a little more of Ron's 'human' side, but I get your feelings, too. There will be more George, Pansy, and Narcissa. And there is an epilogue so you will find out everything in the end. Thanks for reviewing!
Great chapter except for the cliff hanger. {People are looking at me for screaming b/c of the cliff hanger). I'm dying to know what Hermione found out, probably not what she wanted to learn or else she would be telling Harry. I'm glad that George and Bill are looking out for Ginny, I just wish Arthur would come off of the fence, he seems to really care about what is best for Ginny and not what they THINK is best for her.
Tell Harry to use the wizards version of Google or Bing to find some drugs that will help his delusional problems.
Author's Response: I know - another cliffie. I tried to bury it in the middle of the chapter, but I don't think I fooled anyone. Sorry it caused screaming and onlooking from others. :) But also thrilled that you are getting into it so much! Love your thoughts, or advice, for Harry. He is a bit delusional when it comes to Ginny. She broke up with him months before she was taken, but he clearly is acting like that never happened. Anyway, thanks so much for reviewing.
Awww...a really sweet and wonderful chapter. I'm so glad Draco and Ginny got to see each other again. I'm glad Draco is going to be a father again. They love Thuban, but it was a drunken forgot to cast a charm situation. They decided and planned for this baby. Can't wait until Harry finds out!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I loved that scene and it's nice to know others enjoyed it too. I love your comments on this baby being planned. It does feel different to plan it rather than have a surprise baby. In fact, I have a little something I wrote, an outtake, that deals with this idea a little bit. But let's get through the rest of the fic first!
Another wonderful chapter full of so many great things. Thuban kissing the baby and the early Christmas for Thuban. Draco receiving a kiss from Thuban via Narcissa; and their times together. Didn't hate Ron and the rest as much in this chapter. Although I do still wish pain for Harry I want Hermione and Ron to find peace. Not that I forgive him yet, I just hope he can let go of his hate. (I'm stocking up on my chocolate for the upcoming trial)
Author's Response: Thank you! So glad to know you enjoyed all those little details. Also, I think it's great that you are finding some sympathy for Ron and Hermione. They have a scene coming up that explores more of what they are really thinking. I look forward to reading your thoughts on that. Thanks again for the review! I can't believe how closeto the end it is now. :)
I glad you gave us such a sweet ending. This was a great chapter feel of depth and emotion.
I wish the best for Ron and Hermione... it's not their fault Harry lied to them and they have suffered enough-although I always believed Harry played a part in this I never thought I'll say that! :)--(They have orphanages in the wizarding world..a little baby girl for them would be great)
Although Severus isn't always my favorite, I love when he's written like this. Very loyal and when it concerns Draco-protective, loving and proud.
No I wasn't not at all surprised by Harry's revelation. I KNEW Draco was 100% innocent and somehow knew Harry was at fault. I thought in his upset state over Ginny he had mixed something up. You know like said the address was 121 instead of 212. Harry is so selfish it is amazing. He's never really liked Draco so no surprise there about how he treated him. He was content to use Pansy until Ginny came back. Content to lie to his best friends and Ginny about Draco. Content to destroy the Weasley family for his own selfish gains. And the part where he put the blame for the trap on Ron and Hermione. OMG He is so luckly that after all that Ron and Hermione...heck even Pansy still care for him.
Author's Response: Thank you! For the review and the great compliment on the chapter.
Ron and Hermione are extremely loyal to Harry, yes. And he is really not such a bad person, definitely selfish at times, but he so desperately wanted Ron and Hermione to be right about Draco's cursing Ginny. He made some really poor choices based on what he wanted to be true. I think we have all done that at some point in our lives - maybe not to this extreme. And glad you liked my Severus. I have mixed thoughts about him too as a reader. Thank you again!
Yeah for the happy ending....fluff around for everybody. I'm so glad that Ginny finally reconciled with her family. George and Pansy got married...I loved that she wouldn't get married until she could fit into a 'custom-made haute couture wedding gown'. The children were darling, Lyra had Draco wrapped around her finger just like Ginny. Tons of thanks for giving Ron and Hermione not one but two babies. This is a fantastic story, one I'll read again. (I tried to think of something good to say about Harry, but I couldn't...sorry)
My favorite part of this chapter, the return of 'Smirk of Triumph.'
Thanks for a wonderful story, I hope to read more from you soon, and thanks for replying to our reviews :)
Author's Response: I am so sorry this took so long to reply - no internet in my house right now. :)
And YAY! for happy endings - I agree. Life sucks, fics should end better. Glad you picked up on that bit about Pansy refusing to marry right away. And I really did have to give Ron and Hermione some happiness in the end. As much as everyone hated them throughout Part 3, I knew that they were still good people and deserved a new start. So glad you think you might read this again. That's such an honour to me to know you enjoyed it that much. Thank you. And YAY!!!! Someone noticed the Smirk of Triumph. I loved that little detail and was so excited to bring it back one more time. More to come eventually - both with this fic (a future-shot or two) and a new one! Thanks again!
