In canon, when they are sorted, it goes last name, then first. Malfoy, Arianna, not Arianna Malfoy. Good work so far though.

Author's Response: Sorry that I missed that. Excuse my blunder. Thanks.

Oh, this is angsty. Very nice, how Ginny was having troubles, a change from the usual loving Ginny and non commital Draco. Very well written.
Of course, now he realized that Ginny hadn’t been the one in denial. It had been him. He nodded his head slowly before reaching for the door knob. He was sure of that at least.

The next day, he volunteered for Italy.

That little bit just showed so much character, and was very well written. Thanks for the wonderful ficlet.

Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad you liked it. Oh, reading the last line gets to me, too. It\'s been a long time since I read this - haha, my own work but I started off with that sentence actually and worked backwards from there. Again, thanks for reviewing!

I really like the perspective of the child, usually you do not get that point of view. I am really enjoying this fic, I cannot believe I have not found it before! I cannot wait for the next chapter, it has really drawn me in. I am quite surprised, actually; I usually don't care as much unless it is one of the classics/ really really really good ones. Your writing could use a little work, and because of the childs point of view, there is not much depth, but it is still intrigueing. Update when you can, and thanks for the chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks for the tips! I\'m trying to put as much depth as I can in the path that Cissa will use in her attempts to find Draco, and in the flashbacks we will be seeing a lot of! I just sent in a chapter, it has a flashback, hopefully it will have some depth! And you\'re welcome for the chapter! ^^

A Not So Simple Kind of Life by dragonsangel68    (Reviews - 332)

SEQUEL TO DRAGON AND ANGEL. Draco and Ginny return from their honeymoon ready to live happily ever after, but their vast differences in background and family values make for an interesting start to their married life. Add Draco's inexperience with pregnant women and the stage is set for hilarity, confusion and embarrassment.

Wonderful, long chapter. I think Ginny had every right to be angry, particularily while pregnant. The twins were very sweet in this installment, and I liked the interactions between Ginny and Narcissa. Thanks for the update.

Author's Response: Thank you :) Ginny is still finding her feet and doesn\'t quite understand how the business works yet. Of course, being newlywed and pregnant isn\'t helping her logical thinking processes either ;)

Crossing into Chaos by Emeral_eyes    (Reviews - 512)

*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).

Haha! A new chapter! Thanks so much for the update, it was so long it was worth the wait. Keep it up and please, please, please update soon, as I love this fic.

Author's Response: Thank you!

Date: Jan 22, 2007 Title: Chapter 11: The Importance of Being in Control

Wow I adore this fic. I loved it from the beginning, and you actually have gotten me into Manga, from Boys over Flowers, which is an awesome name.
Poor Ginny. NEVER accept a drink from a strange guy in a bar, as you never know what he put in it.
Did he put something date-rapeish in it? Will Draco believe her and kick that bastard's arse?
I cannot wait for the next chapter. Update when Real Life, that terrible miscreant who takes time from our wonderful fic writing, allows?

Author's Response: Excellent!! Glad you\'ve started the manga - I\'ve actually just started it myself (I\'ve seen the anime, the Taiwanese version and I\'ve practically memorized the Japanese version, I\'ve seen it so many times). And, you\'ll just have to wait to see the answers to your questions, because there definitely ARE answers...

Wonderful chapter, thank you so much for writing it.
Update when real life allows.
I like how you can incorporate something from another source, while keeping the characters true to canon, and the plot your's. it is a difficult thing to do, and so I must commend you for your efforts.

Unstoppable by CharmedLife19    (Reviews - 224)

There are three things that truly matter to Lucius Malfoy: his family, his wealth and his blood. So of course, it was of utmost importance that his son marry a pureblood. Thus Lucius begins to arrange the perfect bride for his son. She must have both beauty and brains. She must be skillful with a wand, but with the elegance to know when to use it. When it comes down to it there is really only one woman that matches the criterion, but she comes with one problem: She’s a Weasley.

Emptiness Echoes by Lorelai Walker    (Reviews - 31)

A small ‘oof’ of surprise was emitted by the person Draco had run into, and as he looked down on bright red hair, his breath caught in his chest. For a brief moment their eyes were locked on each other’s, and Draco simply took in the appearance of the littlest Weasley.





AU; set to my own deliberately skewed version of Harry Potter history. OOC.

Date: Aug 06, 2006 Title: Chapter 2: Draco

I don't think they would have demolished and gotten rid of Slytherin House, but that is my personal opinion as I love the concept of Slytherin. Good fic so far though, and I will carry on with the rest of it!

Author's Response: I love the concept of Slytherin too, trust me! I\'m a big D/P fan! So I don\'t really know why I felt the need to get rid of Slytherin. It just happened as I wrote. I guess I needed a convienient way to get rid of most of the older Slytherins, and an excuse for Draco to get his own room, without having to resort to making him HeadBoy.

very nice chapter.
I have a friend who is just like Hermione, with the lists and color coding. One year, she had a shopping system with colors, cross referenced with border pattern, so that you could see (in her mind at lease) precisely what you needed to do. But this is off topic.
Wonderful chapter! Thanks for the update.

Author's Response: Your friend should get a job as an event planner. I didn\'t think anyone was really that organized. Thanks for the review.

I like how this is developing. I cannot get enough of this fic, and the intrigues! It has turned out so differently than I thought it would. In the beginning, I did not think it would be nearly as captivating, suspenseful and dark as it is. Oh, you are good!

Author's Response: thanks :) I hear that a bit more than I expected, and I\'m glad that you suffered through all the ditsy dinner, shopping sprees and tea parties. I\'m not sure if saying that it gets darker is true, but... well... It is. Thanks for the review!

Shall Rise Again by Peki    (Reviews - 292)

Sequel to Break in the sun (till the sun breaks down). For a few blissful hours, the differences between them did not matter. But as Draco and Ginny struggle with their budding relationship, they must soon discover that many things separate them still - family, friends and society as well as their own explosive tempers. The future they want for themselves comes at a price, and reconciling what they each want out of life is a challenge that might just break them apart...

Hello, my name is Mary Sue! The idea is alright, though a little corny and unoriginal, but Ginny is likely to turn into a Mary Sue, even though she is a canon character. Good writing style, though, but be careful! I will keep reading and will review the next chapter if you wish.

Author's Response: hi mary sue ... ^o) i am aware that the idea isn\'t an original one - i did point that out at the start of the chapter and i am constantly working to make the idea different and my own style. i think that ginny did go mary sue at one point, but it was neccessary and then she went back to a normal person again :) i would like it if you read the next chapters! :) thanks for your review! :)
