Ginny Weasley is sent to stay with her grandparents until the war ends, as her parents want to keep her out of harm's way. Her grandparents have another guest, another person in hiding, and a relationship quickly blossoms between them. However, with the war and so many secrets around them, Ginny isn't sure how to make it work. Fluffy occasionally, but things can't always be perfect, can they? Decisions have to be made and consequences dealt with.Category: Works in ProgressFor a fleeting moment, she imagined that they would never hear from their families again, that they would remain together in Tuscany until they were old and gray, with great-grandchildren. Much to her surprise, the thought didn’t make her as sad as she thought it should.
Loving this story! It's very enjoyable and made of win on many, many levels. Any chance of another chapter, just to brighten my day (it's my birthday soon!)
Author's Response: well happy upcoming birthday! when is it? i have already written the next 2 chapters, so now we are just waiting on my wonderful betas (don't i wish that fanfic paid our bills? yes i do!!!) but they are awesome, so i'm sure it will be very soon. thank you so much for your kind review.
*Completely AU* In a world where Voldemort was never defeated, only a few things matter: pureblood, money and power. All that Ginny Weasley wanted was to survive her 7 years at Hogwarts, a school where the children of the richest and most powerful wizards dominate over others. Denying her natural instincts, she managed to make it into her 6th year without offending any of the cruel and powerful Slytherins - especially that horrible Draco Malfoy. Until one day, she crosses a line, and her peaceful existence is shattered forever. A story filled with adolescent drama, clash of the classes, angst, jealousy, ridiculous pride and love triangles (and squares).Category: Works in Progress
Oh, I love this story and I'm really glad you updated it. Thank you and keep writing. I want to discover what will happen next.
Author's Response: Thanks! Don't worry - I'm still writing! Next chapter hopefully relatively soon!
Ginny is twenty four, and the war rages on. Draco is a Death Eater, and he needs her help. Of course, he doesn't give her a choice. Now she's surrounded by the enemy. She begins to see that not everything is black and white. Can she come to terms with her new role in his life?Category: Works in Progress
Hi.
I don't normally review stories, but I had to pipe up and say something about the lack of continuity in your otherwise wonderful story.
In earlier chapters Draco gave the impression that his family wasn't particularly loving. For example, when Draco places Leo into Ginny's care, he remarks that he wants Leo to get the same level of love that he didn't receive as a child. In addition, somewhere else in the story Draco gives the impression that Lucius regards Narcissa as a possession rather than partner and states that he will never forgive his father for what he was forced to endure as a child. Exploring Draco's feelings towards his father- love, anger, understanding, sadness- could be a wonderful source of drama, especially if Draco was forced to stand up to his father to protect his son.
Another thing that bugs me is the insular life that Ginny has been leading for the past 23 chapters. Despite not having children myself, I find it totally implausible that Ginny- or anybody, really- would be content spending much of her day inside a small room with only her son and mother-in-law for company. Perhaps Draco could raise this in later chapters, allowing Ginny to explain why she wasn't tearing down walls?
Apart from that, I am deeply enjoying your story. It's the kind of story that I love, a dark world where the only thing certain to occur is the falling-in-love of the protagonists. The writing is strong and the reactions of most of the characters are realistic and interesting.
