Cute! Good job for your first fic. I hope you keep writing other stories :) I really liked the way the ending was set up like the beginning of the story, it tied it all together rather well.

Author's Response: Thanks! Not actually my first fic, just my first HP one, but still... :) Ooh, I'm glad you liked the ending. I WAS trying to tie it all together, so I'm glad that succeeded. :)

Definitely the part about her not being pretty enough to tempt him... that's from Austen, if I remember correctly.

Author's Response: You do remember correctly. I just went back and watched the scene in the BBC version and DESPAIRED because what I wrote didn't even come close to Darcy's insult. Then again, I don't have Colin Firth to work with, do I?

It's been a while since I read the book, but this may have me going back to it. Great start. Stubborn Ginny... I'm looking forward to the party and Ginny and Draco meeting.

Author's Response: It's always great to go back and read Austen again. Except if you're gonna go and compare me to her, because there's no comparison. :) Thanks for your review.

Oh Luna, such a sweetie. Lime green shoes... lol. She would.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked that. I need her to still be the Luna we've all come to love. In terms of the Pride & Prejudice storyline, she's perfect for the part of Jane.

The BBC one was definitely infinitely better than the one with Kiera Knightly... perhaps because I've got a not so secret crush on Colin Firth. He always seems to show up in productions that I absolutely love. I really like the Bollywood version too, Bride and Prejudice. Hilarious.

Pans was a bit weird in that last bit... randomly being buddy buddy with Ginny and then just as randomly switching back to not-so-lovable Pans. I thought Ginny was funny and at the same time just as irrational as she was in the book. Draco's comment about it not being healthy for women to walk in the rain was priceless! And I recognised the bit about when people lose his good opinion it's lost forever. I think you've done a good job so far.

Author's Response: The "drenched women" comment was, of course, my substitution for Darcy's comment about Elizabeth and Miss Bingley's figures when they're walking... He puts it in such pretty language but it really is a scandalous thing for a gentleman to say! Bride and Prejudice, btw, is AWESOME. I didn't like it at first because of the obviously lower budget quality but it grew on me. I almost know it by heart by now. My sisters and I do the, "No life without wife" number sometimes because it's just so much fun!

I completely forgot... I was going to give you a hilarious quote from Colin Firth about P&P...

"As far as we know, Jane Austen might have seen Darcy as a blond. But then, you can't really smolder with blond hair; you'd probably just look petulant." -Colin Firth

Author's Response: Ooooooooooh, the Colin Firth Darcy... To me, he IS Darcy. The first time (of MANY times) that I watched the movie I was like, "Dude! Darcy's supposed to be WAY hotter!" but after a while, it just stopped mattering because he truly WAS Will Darcy.

I loved the way he completely surprised Pansy when he started talking about Ginny. Oh Pans... she never learns. I do hope he follows up on that "what if she wasn't a Weasley" bit at the end, it sounds promising.

Author's Response: He'll follow up... But when? Ay, there's the rub.

You're a Dead Man, Mr. Potter by Ahranne    (Reviews - 29)

It had started with those eyes. Whenever Ginny looked back on the past few months, she always came to this same conclusion. How something so innocent had ended up so horribly wrong she couldn’t say, but she knew, she just knew, that it had started with those damned soulful eyes.

Ohhhh chocolate eclairs. This story always makes me hungry for the most inappropriate things. Clearly I need to go find a bakery.

Anyway... I love how things are coming along and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: I'm on a diet as like half these readers know because I mention it in my review replies all the time. Anyways, I'm not allowed to eat half the things I write about. It's awful. Last night I ate a chocolate croissant...it was fantastic. Hmm, a chapter title maybe?

LOL! Oh I love Pansy and Narcissa when they get together to wreak havoc on the Malfoy men. It's hilarious. Though Ginny probably could have managed on her own... just a bit slower. The push they gave her just made it happen sooner.

Author's Response: You're right. Ginny needed that push. We'll see what happens in the next chapter with her. Thanks for the review!
