All Ginny wants is to get the upper hand just once with drool-worthy hunk of man candy and callous playboy Draco Malfoy before he moves on to his next careless conquest. So how did this simple plan lead to time travel, nefarious plots involving the most infamous whorehouse in the wizarding world, and the teenaged Draco’s achingly sweet, chocolate-flavored kisses? Even Draco Malfoy was innocent once, as Ginny learns all too well…Category: Long and Completed
Chapter ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN Quote of the Day:
THE LAST CHAPTER
The minutes ticked by, long enough for Ginny to know that against all reason, all common sense, she still wanted impossible things from him. But she would leave. Even after today, even when her body ached from him and for him, when she could feel that he had begun to shape her to him, she would turn around and leave him. I will, I will, she thought.
“You don’t understand,” said Draco.
“Oh?” Ginny said stiffly. “At least he hadn’t touched her, she thought. She would not be able to find the strength to pull herself away from him, and she knew it.
I'm going to wait for the next chapter before I flip out and start grossing out. LOL Very good chapter though despite the bad mental images Astoria is giving...lol
Author's Response: I PROMISE that everything's going to be okay! Just hold on... more soon. ;)
i'm still edgy about this but I'm going along with it. *nodnod* Draco is behaving as awful as usual towards Astoria...it annoys me that he doesn't realize it's Ginny however. lol
Author's Response: It's all good. Don't worry about anything... MUCH more coming up in the next chapter, and a lot of revelations.
Oh boy...well...looking forward to the next chapter :)
Author's Response: More soon! It might be a little bit longer, though.
Wow that was interesting lol Finally were getting somewhere. Looking forward to the next chapter :)
Author's Response: Draco and Ginny are finally getting somewhere, it's safe to say. We've been waiting a long time for this... but not as long as they have!! More soon.
Whoooohoooo that was an awesome chapter! :) Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks! More coming soon.
That was a good chapter! Looking forward to the next chapter! :)
Author's Response: Thanks! It's coming soon. :)
Draco married Astoria, but on their wedding night at the Malfoys’ private island off the coast of the South of France, he dreams only of Ginny. How much fun will that honeymoon be? Don’t freak out! It’s all going to be okay. Take deep breaths… oh, just read it. ;) A three-shot companion piece to Draco’s Dangerous Dilemma, it takes place during the events of Chapter 26.Category: Completed Short Stories
From Chapter Three:
“You simply don’t understand,” Draco told Ginny. “And you might be a bit more appreciative of the fact that I made that sacrifice for you. I can assure you that seeing Astoria in a white dress and not bursting into laughter immediately was a sacrifice indeed. Then, when I was forced to share air space with that skinny slag in her lingerie-- ouch! What did you do that for?” He snatched his hand back. She’d scratched her nails down his skin.
“You seeing Astoria in lingerie,” Ginny said passionately. “That’s why.”
“It’s not as if I liked it!” Draco shuddered.
Ok, I read this again and now I'm finally reviewing because I've been playing with theories from the main story and now either I'm just really tired or I'm seeing a pattern. I kept playing with the idea that Ginny will have to go back in time to be with Draco as his companion at the crystal palace but that would mean she is infact Marie and thus why Marie dissapeared is because Ginny went back to the present time. (seriously I think I'm just really tired and my minds grasping at straws but hey...I really like this plotline you have going.) Astoria...she refers to the "we" thing alot. "We arn't like them" that word seems be repeated alot I've noticed. You know what doesn't add up? How is Ginny supposed to go be Draco's companion and teach him if she knows nothing about the subject and hasn't been with anyone before? So that leads to more questions. Astoria certainly has him wrapped tightly around her finger. It's almost like he's hiding this horrible secret from her just like Ginny is hiding this horrible secret about Tom Riddle from him and if they both just admitted there darkest secrets to each other then things would be so much easier and Draco could divorce Astoria. Still, I can't help but notice the difficulties in the vows Ginny made. My guess is that the only way is for Ginny to be with Draco before he marries Astoria. So, therefore going beyond the time in which she made the vow, so she could easily drop in on Draco sometime before the wedding via time turner. However this is only supported by the theory that Ginny is using a time turner to visit Draco when he is sixteen. ( I'm really not so sure about that idea. How old is Ginny anyways? Now that I think of it really, the idea seems a bit....scary? Of course historically speaking women were older anyways in those whore houses. I don't know....I'm probably just grasping at straws.) I think I reread this and decided to review because I'm going a bit mad over here waiting for the next chapter of the main story but I would much rather you take your time and make it amazing rather then hurry through it and make mistakes. I love how careful you are with historical accuracies. I majored in history in college myself, I was going to be an archealogist. I settled for wild life biology in the end. I'm going back to college for that when I get enough money for it. Anyways, history is something I really am interested in and it's always delightful to see people writing about it. I like that you show both side of this particular bit of story. So I'm guessing at some point after then end of this Ginny shows up? I don't want to give away to much for those who havent read the main story yet. Curious however, could Draco possibly use the male version of the spell Ginny used to visit her instead? Could be a possibility in the main story. I've been contemplating writing a story myself here lately but despite my vast knowledge of big words and pretty phrasing I'm rubbish at grammar. Never the less, this was an interesting little peice you wrote and it will keep me thinking about the main story for quite a while.
Author's Response: Yay! (settles down with beautiful, long, thoughtful, juicy, delicious review. It's kind of like a big peach... those are in season right now in the Northwest... anyway...)
I'll *try* to at least address everything, although there are some things I can sort of answer, and some I can't-- a lot of big reveals are coming, and some more are on their way after the PBB. We already know that time travel is involved in Book 2 and that Ginny will be Draco's companion in *some* way; the question is exactly how this will happen. The answer to the mystery of Marie is very simple in a way, and it actually also ties up a lot of loose ends as far as what happened with Astoria and Draco before Draco returned to wizarding society. You'll also get the answer to the question of how Ginny could be an experienced companion for the 16-year-old Draco (she was born on August 11, 1981, btw, so she's 20 years old by the present time of the fic... oh, wow, happy birthday, Ginny! It's August 11th today! :) As far as that goes, the age of majority in the wizarding world is 16, not 18-- I actually got that idea from another author, but I think we see a number of hints in canon that this may be the case, including Draco's initiation as a DE shortly after his 16th birthday. So pureblood male wizards have their traditional sexual initiation ceremonies at 16, and it's very much accepted in that world.
Back to Astoria... in Chapter 21, in May at the cottage in Lyme Bay, Draco actually told Ginny that Astoria had found out Lucius escaped from an unnamed location that night. She was threatening to tell the Aurors about it. (Astoria doesn't know for sure where Lucius was, but Draco certainly does. He doesn't have any idea how his father managed to escape in the first place, though.) That's what Astoria is holding over Draco's head, although there's more going on than Draco knows. After telling Ginny all of this, Draco Obliviated her, and of course he also did some other exquisitely cruel things to her that he later came to desperately regret. But it wouldn't be enough for Draco to simply tell Ginny about all of this-- he's tied to Astoria, just as Ginny is tied to her vows. There is a way out, but nobody's guessed it yet (cackles at knowledge of evil plot.) More coming soon... and I would love to see a fic from you! :)
In the back of her mind, Ginny had always sensed there would be wild adventures with her and Harry. The early days of their time together–fighting evil and playing sport–felt like lifetimes ago. The most adventuresome thing they had done together in recent memory was a spontaneous shagging in the garden. It was so domestic that it pained her how common they were. The greatest wizard of his generation, and his wife, getting their thrills from a shag in the garden. She had never thought this future would be hers.Category: Long and Completed
Ok I'm liking it so far. I've been toying with the idea myself of writing a peice like this. After reading a article about JK Rowlings comments on Draco's character my thoughts are beginning to change. Rowling stated quite frankly Draco is not a very nice man. So that leaves me with a great big "what do I do now?" Your fiction thus far has given me a little insight though. I like the way you wrote out Ginny and Harry's relationship and how supportive he is despite Ginny's distancing and lack of interest. Harry would still be behind her one hundred percent because that is so in Harry's nature to do so. He has a few character flaws though, everything seems to be black and white to him. That is until he discovered the truth about Snape. I liked that part of the book however unfortunate and unwanting was the event of Snape's untimely death. It gave Harry an insight to the reality of the world around him. In your story I see that part of Harry shining through and it made me smile. I wondered after finishing the seventh book if Ginny would ever get bored with him, because she's full of so much fire and energy they just didnt seem to be a great match. I look forward to more of your story. I excited for the next chapter.
I applaud you for this recent update. It was well thought out and interesting. I like how you have thought out Draco's background. His love for Astoria is endearing and sad. It was always obvious Harry and Ginny were not meant for one another. I'm impressed by your bravery in writing that small peice of Harry/Ginny intimacy because I wouldn't be able to write it. I find the pairing strange and uncomfortable. Ginny needs a challenge and though Draco appears to be quite the coward sometimes in the books, I think his sharp wit and skill would keep Ginny happy. Harry was never really right for her I don't think, he's far to easy in some aspects. He's like grass in the wind, the smallest breeze would shake him. Well I look forward to the next chapter. Keep up the awesome work.
Draco springs Ginny from women's prison, but will she ride in his aqua-blue Cadillac? And why is he using so much Miracle Whip? Watch out for that rat poison, not to mention the nine-inch heels... Utter crackfic (more or less) inspired by the longer video for Lady Gaga/Beyonce's *Telephone*.Category: Completed Short Stories
That was so funny. It made me giggle alot actually, that music video is a little wild isn't it?
Author's Response: I think the idea was irresistible because the video was so bizarre (that's a regulation prison uniform? really? And they poisoned everybody for WHAT reason??) Anyway, once I pictured Draco in the Cadillac, telling Ginny she'd been a very naughty girl, the rest was easy... ;)
Yep. That second new chapter is actually here. This fic will continue!! :)Category: Works in Progress
The sequel to Draco's Dangerous Dilemma.
Nearly two years have passed since Ginny saw Draco in a coffeeshop for the first time after the war. The two of them have been trapped in a seemingly neverending cycle of lust, betrayal, revenge, and despair ever since-- until one night of passion at the Pureblood Ball proved to them both that their bond could never be broken.
But there's a world outside the fragile love budding between the pair. And Ginny just may find out that Draco's past casts a shadow that neither of them can outrun in time to save him...
Chapter NINE Quote of the Day:
“So here’s where we are,” she said. “The sketches are ready. The clay models are done. I’m happy with them. You?”
“Very much so,” said Draco. His mouth quirked upwards. “Remember Bob Ross and his Happy Trees? I’d never have believed then that we’d reach this point, but we have.”
“We’ve come a long way since then,” said Ginny. She remembered how furious she was when she first learned that she’d be working with Draco on the fountain project, and that he’d somehow finagled his way into the Junior Minister of Art position. How snippy and cold she’d tried to be to him; how snarky he’d been to her in return. How exhausted he’d always looked, too, and how much she had wanted to smooth away the dark circles from under his eyes and put a real smile on his handsome face. She’d threatened to report him to the Minister of Art and have someone else reassigned to her; she was ashamed to think of that now.
“We certainly have,” said Draco, giving her one of his real smiles, the sort she’d never imagined his face could possibly form in those days. She tried not to smile in return. She wanted to remain as serious as possible.
ooooh exciting! wonder what will happen next :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Much more...
that was such a sweet chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! Draco and Ginny definitely earned some sweetness by this point, but there's a lot more interesting stuff to come, let's just say. ;)
very awesome chapter! Looking forward to the next one :)
Author's Response: Thanks! There will be another one soon, and it'll be longer.
Alright I'm back and have read all seven chapters thus far. My My.....Ginny's a bit impatient I notice. Draco is annoyingly over paranoid about hurting her. I still think Draco isnt being entirely honest with her and quite frankly I'm sick of everybody trying to throw him into prison. Its bad enough Astoria is being this crazy woman who can't obviously see he doesnt want her, never wanted her, and yet she is determined to keep him. She should just save what is left of her dignity and let him go.
Author's Response: Good to see you again! :) No, Draco isn't being completely honest with her, but I think he's doing the best he can. And there's more to Astoria's determination to keep him than what meets the eye... more soon!
