I love the beginning of this! You've set the mood nicely, and your descriptions are vivid and powerful. I love it!

What a wonderful chapter. I love the fact she thinks the boy is Draco, but he proves to be Scorpius. Also, the exchange between Draco and Ginny was everything I could have desired. It's short, but then your writing is such that you don't need lots of words to get your point across.

I see Scorpius has some of his father's snobbishness in him after all. *laughs*

Aww, this was lovely. I really, really liked it. The imagery was just beautiful, and I enjoyed seeing Ginny get a chance to express her love for nature. ^_^

Author's Response: There's something about rain that makes you want to a) curl up with a blanket and a good book or b) go dance in it and get ill. :) Thanks for the review! I owe you bunches. I know. Now I feel guilty.

Aww, this is adorable. I love OCD Draco, even if he is a little OCC. And, really, who cares about that? If we can't have some freedom with the fanfiction we write, then what's the point of writing it?

Needless to say, I loved it. I look forward to their 'not-date'. ^_^

Reviewer: Boogum Signed
Date: Oct 16, 2010 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Well, I decided I had to check this out since I know your name from so many reviews. I find your concept fascinating, but I don't really get a sense of why they're both trying to commit suicide at this point. I think you really need to flesh that out to make this story believable.

I /do/ like the fact you're making this humour/romance, and I think you've got some great ideas and potential with this story. Really, my main concern is the suicide part. I'm sure you realise that wanting to commit suicide is not something you just randomly decide to do -- it's usually something that festers in your brain. So a bit more about why the two have got to this point would help.

Other than that, I thought it was an interesting beginning, and I look forward to seeing where you take it next.

Author's Response: That would all be revealed later - ofcourse there is a reason why there are both trying to do that, and the readers will find it once they decide to tell each other - because revealing everything in one chapter would take away all the mystery :) Thanks a lot for reviewing and appreciating :) Its the first story I have posted at this site so feels great =D

Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On by jessica k malfoy    (Reviews - 11)

Ginny blames her stubbornness for a choice that ends up costing everyone.

The nurse hurried away, and they sat quietly for a long time, holding hands as tears rolled down Ginny's face. Their relationship had been hanging by a thread already, and Ginny was certain that this was the beginning of the end.

At first, I thought Ginny was really, really stupid. She should have known better than to play Quidditch while pregnant. But as I kept reading, it really was just heart-breaking. The fact she buried it really got me.

I like that this isn't a heavily romantic piece. By that, I mean there are no grand declarations or whatever. It was simple and honest, and that's what makes it so touching. I loved it.

Author's Response: ginny WAS really really stupid. yes, she knew better but in our rpg she is so stubborn & determined to do everything her way, she did. geh! LOL

i don't think there's too much romantic to be found in teen pregnancy, and especially not hers. thank you for reading & reviewing though!

Ah, Roma, I couldn't resist reading this one again. I gushed over it last time, and I would gush over it again, but it's morning, and I am tired in the mornings.

Still, this was brilliant. I love, love, love the way you have them interact with each other, interposed with those little thoughts (Left ears of the enemies, indeed). And I still laugh every time at this:

//And although I know I must look like the perfect candidate for Mr. I-look-like-a-handkerchief-so-please-cry-on-me, you'll have to excuse me because I'm currently off duty//

Plus, the ending is just perfect. Brilliant, brilliant little one shot. I love it. ^_^

Date: Dec 18, 2010 Title: Chapter 1: Unnatural Selection

Wow! What a beginning. I'm loving this so far! I've read quite a few Draco-is-a-prisoner fics, but this is already different and your Draco has already established himself as 'your' Draco. I also love the fact that I was able to connect with him so easily. I felt like I was drifting along there with his thoughts, which is no mean feat.

I really hope you update this soon. I will be eagerly looking forward to the next chapter. ^_^

Author's Response: I'm SO glad you like it. n_n The next chapter will be up as soon as I fix up the third one. Or before that, if I get impatient. :P Thanks for reviewing!

Reviewer: Boogum Signed
Date: Dec 18, 2010 Title: Chapter 2: The Smallprint

Yay, another chapter! This was really good, though I do find sometimes I can't quite place Draco's age. It's been seven years, so I'm assuming he must about 24, but his thoughts sometimes 'feel' younger -- if that makes sense. It's nothing to worry about, though. I think, considering everything, he would have those moments where he is neither adult nor child. And I do think you're writing him very nicely. I particularly liked the lines about the colour and the sun, and how he had to hide in the darkness to really feel it. That was beautiful and tragic all in one.

I loved how you had Lucy insist on Draco calling her Lucy, while Filip insists he get called Mr White. The contrast between them is both amusing and real, and I'm really just loving Mr White. A good, strong OC.

I'm not sure how I feel about Ginny yet. She still seems a bit vague to me, but I'm sure as I read on I will get to know her more.

As usual, I look forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: Yeah, I remember people saying in the exchange that they didn't really get Ginny. She's not the most strongly written, a product, I think, of how much I rushed the story. I had intended to rewrite and add to the story, to put in the things that I hadn't had time to write originally, but now I'm just doing a minor edit and rewrite. Hopefully Ginny will make more sense later on, but for now, she's supposed to be a mystery.

I love Mr. White. n_n I should have used him more. And Draco was about five years younger in the original version of the story. Maybe that accounts for his young feel.

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing. :)

Reviewer: Boogum Signed
Date: Feb 23, 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Escape

I've been wondering when this was going to be updated. Lovely chapter, as usual. I'm glad we finally got some answers about Jimmy. The conversation between he and Draco was very touching and awkward -- as all those kind of conversations are. It's nice Draco was able to give Jimmy the strength he needed to survive out in the real world, though. I just hope nothing happens to the poor guy.

I kind of want to shake Ginny for being so obstinate, but I suppose that is her character. This story definitely makes me sympathise with Draco more than Ginny.

Author's Response: Ah, Jimmy. I think his story would be an interesting one. Well, relatively. He really was a shell of himself at The Cottage. It's actually really sad what became of him to get him there. His fear was all-consuming. I don't think Draco realizes what they've both done for each other.

Ah, Ginny. I think Draco really wants to shake her. Or punch her or something. Ginny's story is just sad in every way that you could mean 'sad'. :( And the sad thing is it probably won't get explained well enough to infer the sadness of it. Maybe I'll have to write a sequel, about her story. She's probably more interesting being angry at Draco all the time, though.

Date: Apr 05, 2011 Title: Chapter 5: Undisclosed Desires

Ooo, I was not expecting Ginny to be a patient there as well. At first I was a bit stunned by her kiss, just cause it seemed so out of the blue, but her explanation made me realise she was just very upset. It also made a lot more sense when I read that she was a patient there.

I'm glad Draco finally got his freedom and that you didn't make Harry too awful. Sometimes it fits to have him a total git, but this story I think it would have been unnecessary. Look forward to reading the rest. ^_^

Author's Response: Thanks, Kim! Hopefully editing the epilogue won't take as long as it took to edit this chapter. >_>

Hehehe, loved it! A great ending to a wonderful story. I'm just sad it's over, but all things must come to an end, I suppose. In any case, this was lovely. I'm glad they got to have a happy ending. ^_^

Author's Response: Thanks, Kim! n_n During the exchange, so many people asked for a sequel, but I probably won\'t do that now. D: I do have a couple of short drabbles from this story that I\'m going to post on FFN at some point or another. Thank you for reading! I\'m glad you liked it. :D

Well, this is certainly and interesting beginning. I'm seeing a much 'softer' Draco here, so I'll be curious to see what kind of direction you're going to take he and Ginny's relationship.

Author's Response: Well, I am a fan of your work so I was super excited to see your review. Now I am starting to worry that I won't be able to keep it interesting. I have so much respect for all the amazing writers I have enjoyed. This is not easy! I know my Draco is "softer" than many may like, but hopefully it will work within the context of the story. It's hard making him a total jerk cuz I like him so much. Thank you!
