In his fifth year, Draco was moving towards a dark destiny... and slowly, inexorably, he began to pull Ginny in. Find out what *really* happened between those two during the events of Order of the Phoenix. Harry didn't know the half of it...

The interactions between Draco and Ginny were brilliant in this chapter. So much intensity and emotion.

Such an intense chapter. I'm feeling extra emotional today, so it was certainly a rollercoaster for me. Really, I should hate you for writing emotion so well. You make it so easy to relate to the characters, which does make the 'do not cry' rule hard to keep.

I found Ron's confession at the end one of the most bitter and touching moments in this chapter. The books portray the characters as so black and white -- you're evil or you're not. And while Ron gets his few faults (jealousy, etc), JKR never really questions the true depth of how far he or the other characters could go. I really felt for Ron when he realised he could actually take that step -- to end a life. One of the most disturbing facts about life is not that you can be terrified of other people, but that you can be frightened of yourself -- of what you have the potential to do. You captured that beautifully. It's a sad, bitter part of life, and I really admire your writing for being able to show not just the surface of the characters, but all the psychological and emotional storms happening underneath.

And now I am at the end. I loved reading this again. I remembered what happened, of course, but I had forgotten all the finer details, and it's those that really matter, I think. In any case, this was a brilliant story. So much depth, and I really got a strong connection for all the characters, not just Ginny and Draco. I look forward to reading the sequel.

The Vexing Hex by Elia Sheldon    (Reviews - 16)

The more he saw her, the more he felt compelled to say something, anything, to get her attention. Draco wasn't used to feeling that way about anyone, not even Pansy, his supposed girlfriend.

A Sleeping Dragon Must Not Be Tickled by Dutchess LC    (Reviews - 13)

Whats up with Draco? And why can't Ginny finish her potions essay? And why DOES wolfsbane give pregnant dungbeetles the runs? Simple; Draco's on a bet, and Ginny needs some testosterone. DG - Jealous girls and evil staircases!

Hahahahaah! This was great. I actually laughed out loud. I loved the bit about dried bread and Snape kissing Umbridge's toad form. Though I do wonder how the Slytherins got in the common room in the first place.

I've read this before, but I don't think I reviewed. Anyway, I liked this little prelude. Simple, but very telling. You managed to capture Draco's younger personality perfectly: imitating his father, but still uncertain.

Awww, adorable -- and hilarious. I must have chuckled aloud at least seven times. Pansy's kiss really did it for me, as did the Minister. Poor Ginny.

Downfall by Mourning Broken Angel    (Reviews - 169)

An explosion in the Potions classroom leaves behind a raving Potions Master, a bloody Draco, and a certain redhead we all love having a moment of altruistic weakness. Ginny's kindness makes Draco very suspicious, leading him to destroy her goodwill. In retribution, Ginny decides to put some embarrassing information about Draco to good use. Ahh, nothing like one-upmanship to kindle a little romance.

Hahahahaahahahaha. Oh,I'm still chuckling to myself. What a wonderful way to start a story. I think I'm going to like this one. ^_^

This is hilarious! I can just see Ginny arguing with the statue and then arguing with herself. Her "bad" voice certainly knew what it was on about.

LOL! Oh, my gosh, this is hilarious! Poor, poor Draco. He is about to suffer, I think. As is Ginny.

This was certainly a battle of wits. Seems like Ginny came out on top this time, though I have a feeling Draco will show her who's boss by the end.

How mortifying. Draco certainly got her back good that time.

Wellie the mirror certainly knows what she is on about. Now I do wonder what Ginny will cook up for our darling blond.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh, my gosh, I can't believe he spanked her as if she were a little child. I'm cracking up right now.

That being said, Ginny really did deserve that. She definitely crossed a line with this one, however fun it was to read.

We finally get to the resolution, and what a resolution it was. Unfortunately, I have run out of steam, so I'm going to call it quits here until I have enough energy to read on.

I had to get a new laptop and forgot all about this fic. How terrible of me. Now that I've caught up again, I can finish reading it.

Great chapter. Draco is so adorable in all his indignant ways.

Haha, poor Draco. He really made a mull of that one. Lucky Blaise was there to rescue him and Ginny is so forgiving.

I love Pansy and Blaise. Lots of nice DG moments in this chapter as well.

Ginny can be so daft sometimes. These two are constantly setting up each other's backs and going in circles. I hope everything will work out.

For some reason I thought this was finished. Bother.

Well, I guess I must now do the usual "please update" speech.

Bound by Anise    (Reviews - 191)

NEW, REVISED EDITION!! The Last Chapter. See what you think of this version! :)

By the spring of her fifth year, Ginny Weasley had almost convinced herself that she didn’t really still want Harry Potter. But when he finally kissed her one Hogsmeade weekend in June, she couldn’t resist the power of all those years of waiting and watching and hoping and praying. Six months later, her dream has finally come true… except that Draco Malfoy just won’t leave her alone. Strange things are afoot, and once Ginny starts to figure out what’s really going on, nothing is as simple as it seems…

Thought I'd read some of your other fics while I wait for DDD to be updated. I like the beginning of this. You write teenage Ginny very well and have set up a believable beginning. I can already tell that not everything is as it seems.

Reviewer: Boogum Signed

The perfection of him was intimidating even though he wasn’t physically perfect at all. He was too thin, too pale, his face still too narrow and sharp, his cheekbones too high, his eyes too bright and too large. She needed to stop looking at him, and she knew it, but she could not seem to make herself do it.

Oh, this is a perfect description of teenage Draco. Just how I imagine him. ^_^

I'm really enjoying this fic. The characterisation of Draco and Ginny is spot on, and I'm loving their interactions.
