A Weasley at the Daughters of Hecate Debutante Ball? That's almost as unthinkable as a Weasley and a Malfoy in love!

"He took a breath, then another. Watching him, Ginny was reminded of a tree being hacked by an axe. One more stroke- one more breath- would bring him down."

I'm sorry. This was just way too beautiful. I absolutely loved it. Therefore, I'm stealing it and putting it under my fave quotes on my FB. And I love this story too. =D

Bestiality by obssessedmadwoman    (Reviews - 24)

Not bestiality. No, really. Revolves around Draco being jealous.

I like this. Draco self-absorbed, as always, but Ginny perfectly capable of being independent, and drawing him out in her own way.

Red Hot by tudorrose1533    (Reviews - 23)

Nobody wins in war. Draco and Ginny build a funeral pyre for their generation, in a nonsensical story of lost love and lost minds full of flames and sky.

AWWWW. Good choice for Draco. But now he has to live with the consequences. Will Voldemort force him to still do the ceremony? How is he ever going to get Ginny back? AHH. Desperately awaiting for updates...and really happy about the quick ones right now. =)

Wow. Harry Potter has taken a turn for the worse. I love how Malfoy is being so calm as Potter goes insane. Such an interesting difference and contrast in character, which is good, especially between these two. You throw the most interesting plot twists in, and I love them. I eagerly await your next update.

“Meaning of the two of us here, you’re the courageous one,” Tracey said grimly. “So I will be the cowardly Slytherin and hold back the Death Eaters, and you, being the brave man that you are, will deliver this baby.”

I LOVE THIS LINE!! keep up the awesome witty writing!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I hope you liked Tracey then, she took over this chapter just a bit.

Under by tudorrose1533    (Reviews - 50)

Award-winning fic from the D/G Fic Exchange on LJ. "His body lies cold and still beside her; his mouth is open, an O, and his hair is drying, feathery, in wisps, over his closed eyes. That fair skin; that nearly white hair. Dead, he looks so young...."

The dark and tragic story of a journey Under...based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Slytherin's Bride by Mynuet    (Reviews - 127)

Ginny Weasley was Draco's ticket out - his way of reaching Dumbledore, getting the Malfoy fortune that he deserved, and leaving the war firmly behind him. Unfortunately, fate had other plans for both of them.

As noted before, definitely dark, but also a good portrayal of Draco. His character is dark, and I love when authors actually write him that way. He does not come across as a nice person.
His spoiled nature also comes in here, which I love. I really admire the way you threw so many elements of him in such a brief story. Keep it up!

Protege by Rhea Summers    (Reviews - 8)

Good luck can often be found in the most unexpected places. For Neville Longbottom to sip some Felix Felicis, it has cost him Trevor's life and five years' worth of giving free Herbology tuition. What goes around comes around, and it is high time that he gets the longer end of the stick. However, things may not seem as straight-forward when he catches Ginny with a certain blonde Slytherin...

Fleur de Lis by Lunaeyes    (Reviews - 350)

He showed her everything. What they didn’t get to the first day, after flying kites and riding boats and feeding swans, they did the next day, and the next. She realized, after spending seemingly endless weeks with him, that she didn’t want to go home, but go home she must.

Ten years have passed. They’ll always have Paris.

AWWW. I love your descriptions of the characters. They're so simple, but they'r also so cinematic as well, and evocative of such a poignant image in this last scene. Awesome!

Author's Response: Well, thank you. I\'ve tried to keep the readers really in the story. I appreciate you leaving another review.

Aww! They're getting along! I love it. I love how you're wrestling with Ginny's emotions and working out the problems with Lily and Scorpius too. Can't wait until you bring in James and Albus!

Author's Response: Yeah, it took them a while, but Scorpius and Lily get along in their own twisted way. James and Albus will certainly complicate things. Thanks for the review!
