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.

"I Know" is my fave song of the moment, so I was tickled pink knowing that, that was one of your inspirations for this story. I could totally see this song playing in the background at the club as they all danced.

I'm glad that Draco took the initiative and went after Gin after getting MyHarry's advice, nothing is worse that unrequited love. GJ.

Author's Response: Haha I love it when Draco figures there\'s no harm in going after what he wants. Thank you for your review! Jay-Z is one of my idols. :)

Funny. I wonder will Jimmy..er..Ginny will accept the proposal. How much is Draco willing to shill out for his new star player? GJ.

I really do adore this story. It's such a Catch 22 their newfound relationship. I understand hesistation in wanting to involve herself with him completely, but she shouldn't sell herself or him short of just having a sexual relationship, why they obviously can be much more than that. Especially, since he's the one eager to go ahead with it, considering I think he'd be judge much more harsher than him amongst their peers. GJ.

It's sad when such good stories end. I really enjoyed it, but how in the world did Luna know that Draco would be showing up? ESP?

What an incredible well written story. And, I'm only on the second chapter. The fact that you've given Gin an occupation outside of being a healer or quidditch professional has me ecstatic. I love Gin's repoire with Narcissa. Oh, and Lucius skuddling around the house while Narcissa does all the work just tickles me to death. GJ.

Author's Response: Thanks very much! Narcissa totally rules that house. :)

Draco and Narcissa are just adorable together. Have you ever seen the show Dirty, Sexy, Money? It's a tv show on ABC. For some odd reason this chapter reminded me of the show. Blaise and Draco, should be entertaining in the coming chapters if they amuse themselves by starting castastrophes. GJ.

Author's Response: Thanks, I have a lot of fun writing their scenes together. I\'ve never seen Dirty Sexy Money, but I hear it\'s good.

I was cracking up so hard at Blaise and Draco's interaction. Only they know how to get under one another's skins. Though, Luna shutdown Blaise advances, I wonder will he give it another go. It would be the perfect reason for all four of them to have a dinner date. I liked Draco/Gin's mini convo it wasn't awkward as expected, but they've both grown a bit so they should have their social interactions intact for most of the part, especially considering both of their life's work.
GJ, I am truly adoring this story. I'm so happy, I caught it.

Author's Response: Heh, I love writing dialogue for Blaise and Draco.

Reviewer: Rashonda Signed
Date: Jun 30, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: The Man Behind the Curtain

I love how "adult" this story is. Their interactions aren't awkward and stunted. They are more forward then what I was expecting. And, they are honest so far to an extent with one another. I wonder will Draco actually answer her question on why he doesn't have a S.O. instead of evading the question. She answered him truthfully surprisingly enough, hopefully he'll do the same eventually.

Thanks again for updating the story so quickly, I'm sure this will hold the lot of us over, after you initially spoiled up with the speed of these chapters.

Author's Response: Thank you! I figured ten plus years was enough time for them to grow up and get some perspective.

Date: Jul 14, 2008 Title: Chapter 6: Shut Up

Absolutely wonderful, I could so see Gin and her Malfoy progeny frolicking in the garden and having such a good time tossing around those gnomes. I love how effortlessly Gin and Draco are around one another. And, it's a plus that Cissa approves of her. I wonder when will she start dropping hints that Gin may be the one for Draco. Oh and Blaise and Draco just tickle me pink with their convos always stating they'd evoke bodily harm on one another. GJ. I loved it...onto the next chapter. :)

Author's Response: I honestly have no idea how boys act around each other when no one else is around, but threatening violence on each other seems to work for Blaise and Draco. :) Thanks for reviewing, as always!

Reviewer: Rashonda Signed
Date: Jul 14, 2008 Title: Chapter 7: Sacked

Seraphina is a horror. I hope that Cissa rips her a new one, and tells all her bourgeois socialite friends what an unprofessional little snit that she is, and they all leave her company in ruins. It's good that Draco went over to Gin's house to comfort her, the liquor could lead to dangerous territory though. I hope they both are ready for what's to come. GJ, as usual.

Author's Response: Well, life isn\'t always peaches and cream - there\'ll always be some butthead mucking things up somewhere along the way, and for Ginny, that butthead is Seraphina. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Date: Jul 15, 2008 Title: Chapter 8: Birthday at the Burrow

I like how Luna called Gin out, only a friend could do that. And, Luna playing hard to get is good, make Blaise work for it. Since women seem to easily come to him, he can bare the chase for a bit. GJ, as usual.

Author's Response: Sometimes we all need a friend to give us a little kick in the pants. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Reviewer: Rashonda Signed
Date: Jul 16, 2008 Title: Chapter 9: Deluge

I guess Gin hit a little too close to home with her last note to Draco, he probably doesn't know how he should react to it, being that it just may be true. I laughed at Lucius being amused by Draco/Narcissa at least it shows that he isn't against Draco/Gin possibly starting something, I'm sure that Cissa has probably rattled on about it endlessly to him and he just listens and nods. GJ, Ad. If, I was Gin I'd miss Draco too.

Author's Response: Right on the nose on both counts. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Reviewer: Rashonda Signed
Date: Jul 21, 2008 Title: Chapter 10: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Damn, Stalkerazzi! Just when things were progressing well here they show up and end the freaking moment. And, Why didn't Draco run after her? I guess it was a catch 22 either way. Onto read the next chapter.

Author's Response: Yeah, that\'s kind of their job, isn\'t it? :)

Reviewer: Rashonda Signed
Date: Jul 21, 2008 Title: Chapter 11: Things Fall Apart

I'm so thrilled that Luna took the plunge with Blaise, hopefully everything in the end will work out. And, I hope that Gin follows Blaise sound advice she can't keep Draco on a leash. GJ.

Author's Response: Luna and Blaise for the win!

Oh no, the end is near. Loved this chapter and the passion they have for one another. I guess good things do come to those that wait.

You ended this perfectly. I enjoyed how their relationship developed throughout the story. It was timed and paced, in manner that all stories should. GJ, all around. It's sure to be a classic.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for all your reviews! I really appreciate your comments.

I am so tempted to nominate this to the classic list already. I'm so easy for a good D&G story, and you never disappoint. I can't wait to read more.

This is odd, but everytime I read this story. I think of the song "Four Seasons Of Lonliness" by Boyz II Men, I guess it just fits the mood of this fic.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this chapter. I hope they don't grow apart now that they aren't in such close proximity of one another, if it's meant to be, they'll make it work. GJ, AM.

Author's Response: Hmm...I\'ve never heard of that song. I\'ll have to check it out. Thanks! No, they don\'t grow far apart. I\'ll (briefly) cover what happens during that time in the next chapter. Thanks again for your review!
