Have those doctors caught up with you yet Anise, because its about time. Really hilarious. Made me actually want some cherry pie.

I got so excited when I saw you updated. Can't wait for more.

I have no idea how this can end well.

Absolutely hilarious. Can't believe there is product placement in our dreams now.

Author's Response: Thanks! Well, actually... that was based on the product placement in the video, which stuck in my mind.

I literally re-read this story yesterday and hoped you would update and then BAM here it is! Looking forward to more.

I definitely have mixed feelings about this one. I guess I just don't understand why Ginny would be okay with Draco bringing up such a personal topic in front of a group. I don't believe she would just tell everyone what happened. Anyway, the rest of it was great, especially the constellation scene.

Author's Response: I completely understand the mixed feelings!

I felt it was important to include that conversation about the CoS because that was how Ginny showed her willingness to let Draco and the people he considers his family (maybe his dysfunctional family, but important to him all the same) see a side of her that she doesn't normally show people or talk about. Sure, she could have said, "Nah, that's none of your business," or "Maybe later, when we can have a private conversation," but she chose to tell all of them about it, partially because she really thought they already knew but mostly because she recognized that Draco needed her to be brought down to their level. They had all revealed something ugly about themselves or about their relationships. The fact that Da, A, P, T, and Dr had all been friends for years but had never voiced these issues was significant, because they're not *comfortable* voicing those emotional weaknesses. But it all came out anyway, and in front of outsiders (Ginny and Harry), so to make herself part of the group (emotionally at least), to show the Slytherins that she could be trusted with their secrets, Ginny shared an uncomfortable secret with them, too. If she hadn't, they all would have resented her for being present to hear them air their dirty laundry. That's why she didn't get upset with Draco, because she knew why he was doing it, and that's why she decided to tell them.

But even though Ginny thinks about the CoS and Tom a lot, she's mostly moved on from it. She thinks about what happened, but she's not haunted by it. She even jokes with Draco about it in chapter two. She's the one who mentions the possession at dinner, as an explanation for why she felt like she couldn't tell her family about Jason Junker, but at the end of the chapter, she's teasing Draco and implies she will explain it to him eventually. It was important to me that they have that conversation in this story, because it's another way that Draco and Ginny are similar. They've both been tormented by Voldemort. They've both been controlled by him. But it was also important for Pansy and Co. to hear it, too, so they wouldn't underestimate her.

Draco will also have some thoughts about what she told them in his next chapter. If the scene still doesn't work for you, though, it just doesn't, and I'm sorry that part didn't hit the mark. I'm really glad you enjoyed the rest of the chapter though. :) I like the star-gazing scene more every time I read it! Thank you so much for reading and leaving your thoughts!

Hermione seeing that picture of "Jason Junker's junk" and thinking it was Draco's killed me. Definitely makes up for the wait.

Author's Response: *cackles* What a horrifying thought for her to have. XD Thanks for reading!

I loved Glenn Hansard in "Once" and this song totally fits the emotions of how Gin must think of Draco. Loving it

Author's Response: Thanks! And I always forget that the Glenn Hansard in Once is the same as the one on the radio... I don't know why...

Where are you TinyQ? We need you.

I suppose you meant you'd be done by Christmas 2017, hahaha.

Author's Response: Indeed it's looking that way! Hopefully not quite that bad :) Though you never know with technical issues and inspiration conspiring against you...
