Just started reading HP series in May 2006. After Ginevra was introduced fully in Year 2, I instantly started wanting Draco/Ginevra because I thought they'd be a great fit they are both purebloods and their families would have the hardest time accepting them. Then, I found D&G.com and the rest is history. Now, I'm here all the damn time reading fics. This is a great site with a collection of awesome work.

Pansy is a trip, I love her needling Draco about the possibility of Blaise courting Gin.

Ron is just too adorable, I am loving the dynamic between he and Pansy. I like Blaise already, he's extremely sly. I have to wonder about Draco though, when it comes to Ginny and her possibly being around Blaise in any capacity he catches an attitude. Would the reaction be the same with any one but him in the picture?

I laughed so freaking hard and unexpectantly when I read Draco saying to Blaise, "Women such as yourself..." I don't know why but it tickled me something fierce. As, Blaise is a trip he's already contemplating divorcing the woman that he's infatuated with that he met off in France. I can see why Blaise and Draco have remained friends for such a long time.

Before, I review the story. To this "Zucca" reviewer. CCC doesn't owe you are us that read her stories anything, so she can take as much time as she wants writing her stories. It's not a job, where she gets paid. It's her passion to write this, she's not on anyone's timeline to crank out these stories. You not reading her stories won't be a loss. Some of you people on this site are ridiculous with your ridicule of those that write these stories, because it's not fast enough for you. Simply move along, you won't be missed.

*Now onto the review*

Gin shouldn't allow Draco to get her so riled up to the point of tears. He's an ass she knew as much when she got involved with him, so her acting all hurt by his behaviour is rather off-putting, here's to her getting some sense of self back and not acting like some pathetic nitwit clamoring for his attentions.

Well. It's now Draco's turn to put himself out there for Gin. I don't want the girl torturing herself over him.

Reviewer: Rashonda Signed
Date: Jun 04, 2008 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Overall, I enjoyed the chapter. But, I don't like the fact that Pansy gave Draco that ultimatum and Ron parroted the idea. That if, Draco didn't make things right with Ginny that she'd end their lifelong friendship. Draco never promised Ginny more than what she got, it isn't his fault that she fell for him. She needs to put on her big girl panties and chuck this up as a loss. It's fine for Pansy to scold Draco on his unfortunate and pig-headed ways but to choose Ginny over him is just plain wrong even if she does plan on being her sister-in-law. If Pansy chooses Ginny over Draco her lifelong friend then she wasn't much of a friend to begin with. GJ, though.

Ya know. I freaking gasped when I read that one particular line. It's just so bold and blatant. Had he thought of that before she entered? Or was it just on the fly. His manipulating of her will either bring them closer which is his goal, or make her resent him even more. Though, earlier 10 years back she did as she mentioned fell for his shit initially. This is very promising, and I look forward to what you'll write next.

I think, I am officially stalking this story. I read the 2nd chapter at the other site. I just love your Draco, he's so forward and steadfast in his pursuit of Gin. I think she likes the chase too, but can't bring herself to admit it though, not yet anyway.

I really do enjoy Draco's bluntness in this story, and how he throws off Gin. Hopefully, she'll adapt and be able to turn the tables on him, when he has her so whined up.

Criminal by Catalina Royce    (Reviews - 28)

She wanted to pay him back, to make him hurt the same way she did. And so begins a game of revenge, of seduction, of lust, of pride and of love.

I'm already enjoying this story from the start. But, I have to wonder about Gin's trepidation around Draco or when he's brought up in a conversation. If, there is so much animosity between the two of them how could she be a employee of the household? I have some theories as to why she'd take the job, but they are probably wrong anyway and you'll throw something out there to knock me off my train of thought. I wonder how Astoria will readjust to Draco's prescence, since Scorpious is already enamored with him. Hopefully, more is to come. I really enjoyed it.

Author's Response: Mmm, you\'ve zeroed in on some key questions, haven\'t you? I can\'t say anyhing for fear of spoiling the story, but hopefully I will manage to surprise you!

Oh, great. Draco has made Scorpius into mini-asshat like him. It's funny how a parents' influence on a child can have them turn on the one constant in their life. Draco, should be ashamed of himself, idiot.

Great job, to you though. Of course. :)

Author's Response: Heehee, this could me my fave review ever. You are so exactly right-- I think parents influence their children in a myriad of incredibly deep ways, even when they don\'t mean to, and even when they\'re hardly around. It\'s really hard to avoid having your opinions and beliefs changed by a parent, especially when that parent is someone with as strong a personality as Draco\'s. \r\n\r\nAs you can see, though, as Scorpius gets older he becomes a bit less of an asshat!You\'ll see more next chapter. Thanks for the review!

This is straight outta a soap. "You're dating your cousin!...Their, I said it!...Now get out.

I hope that Rose and Scorpius haven't done more than just "kiss". Too icky to even think about. GJ, loved it!

Author's Response: Ha, well I\'m glad you loved it even though it was soap-operaish! I\'m embarrassed now to realize that you\'re right, but, hell. Some soap operas are damn good, when there\'s more going on than just raunchy romance. Oh, and don\'t worry, Scorpius and Rose are just in fourth year--they definitely have only done a little kissing, and nothing serious. Thanks for the review!

I am so elated you updated, this story has so many different facets that can be explored. Draco is such an ass but I hope that he can mend his relationship with Scorpious, Maybe Gin will be able to foster something between the two of them. GJ.

Author's Response: Thank you! He is a true ass, isn\'t he? I\'m hoping the same thing you are...we\'ll see how it turns out!

I thought it was realistic the way that you weaved the muggle way of life into the story, medical wise. Also, I am enjoying the build up, but ultimately I'm sure they'll be a fall out along the way. Either way, GJ.
