Ginny Weasley had finally grown up. That little girl who dreamed of a fairytale wedding with her one true prince was gone. And good riddance. She didn't care about any of that now. No, really, she didn't.Category: Works in Progress
Chapter 5 Snippet:
"Honestly, sometimes I haven't a clue what to do with you," he muttered before downing the rest of his wine.
"I don't know about that," she said with a playful waggle of her eyebrows. "Experience says you seem to be fairly knowledgeable in that area."
He latched onto the line as she knew he would, irritation giving way to a wicked gleam in his eyes. "Really now, but how long has it been? Perhaps we should refresh your memory just to be sure."
I find myself intrigued by your story. I wonder what was the catalyst for Ginny of the present versus who she used to be. I like the playfulness between Draco and Ginny at the pizza parlor.
Author's Response: Thank you for the R&R! The catalyst is one of the big questions for this story and I hope I can do it justice. Their playfulness is fun to write, and I'm glad it came across to your liking. Hope the story will continue to intrigue you. :)

The verbal banter between Draco and Ginny is great! I was wondering why she would defend him for the murder of her brother. I love that even when asked point blank if he did murder him, Draco just quips...I was with you, wasn't I. I cannot wait until the next update :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I am trying to keep it ambiguous (if he just said yes or no, what kind of fun would that be?), and I'm glad that was something you were able to appreciate! I'm glad you're enjoying this, and I do hope to update soon. :)
The Very End.Category: Completed Short Stories
Epilogue Quote of the Day:
He struggled to prop himself up on an elbow. “Lovegood—Luna-- do you remember being… I really don't have the least idea how to explain this… somewhere else?”
“Somewhere that looked like King’s Cross Station?” asked Luna.
“Yes!” Draco tried to sit up all the way and failed, flopping back down onto the bed.
A thoughtful look came over her face. “I think that I do, but I don’t believe that anyone else does. Maybe it’s better that way.”
“Probably. Look, uh… where’s Ginny?”
“She’s not ready to see you just yet,” said Luna. ”Here’s a napkin.”
“I don’t care about a napkin! Where’s Ginny?”
I am 100% involved in the story and was surprised to find myself at the end of this chapter. What makes Luna's situation any different than the other disappearances? Did Ginny go to Katie Bell's apartment or is it as though she just ceased to exist. I cannot help but feel the inamins are going to play a role somehow in solving the mystery.
Author's Response: Thanks! :) With Luna, a couple of things are going on: first of all, Ginny specifically searched for her, and both Ginny and Draco's choices are going to be very important as far as what ends up happening in this fic. But Luna also was motivated to not disappear because she wanted to find Ginny, which nobody else had been. As far as everyone else in the wizarding world knows, the people who vanish never existed in the first place. (There was an episode of Star Trek TNG where something similar happened... but not for the same reasons at all.)
I'm so glad that poor Draco is not going crazy. I didn't want to believe it. This story is intriguing...I really like it thus far.
Author's Response: I'm glad too. ;) Poor Draco indeed-- after both parents dying a few months ago, he doesn't need that.
A one night stand left both wanting more.Category: Completed Short Stories
Wow, that was hot. I love how the attraction wouldn't let them forget how good it was between them because of prejudice and hate...u know that saying, there's a fine line between love and hate. I'd love to see a part two.
Author's Response: I am thinking of it right now.
Ginny Potter could become Ginny Weasley for one evening, just like how she would become another woman on any other night. Draco Malfoy wanted Ginny Weasley, and by Merlin he had her.

I really enjoyed this story and I hope you change your mind and expand it into a longer story. I feel like I've been left with a cliffhanger.
Ginny decides to spend the summer at the coast to finish writing her book, but she hits some writer's block after she meets her unexpected neighbor.Category: Completed Short Stories
Written for Rowan-Greenleaf in the DG Forum's Fall 2011 Fic Exchange. Winner of the Most In Need Of A Sequel award.
I really enjoyed your story. I found it very humorous and I wish it was longer.
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope to come back to this at some point. I tried to fix it up to make the ending sound more like an ending, but I think I'll just have to add a second installment for it to work. I'm glad you liked it!
It looked like we were photographed at gun point so I had to laugh.Category: Works in Progress
This story shows promise. I was not expecting them to be married before, only to have dated. I wonder what more would have been said if they had not been interrupted by Blaise and Astoria...I cannot wait for your next update.
Author's Response: I'm writing this for Kim and her prompt was essentially a divorce fic, but I didn't want to just throw it out there but rather have it come up somehow during their interaction. I'm glad it caught you unawares.:D
As for their being interrupted, I'm sure they'll pick up where they left off, probably sooner rather than later. ;)
The war is over, and so is Draco Malfoy's world. He has run as far as he can, and now, as a taxi driver in a world that has no more magic, he has come to the end of the line... or so he thinks. But when he finds the former Ginny Weasley, he learns just how many mysteries remain to be solved... and how much hope can still be found.Category: Works in Progress
Chapter SEVEN quote of the day:
At three in the morning, Draco turns off the sign on top of his cab and pulls into the parking lot of the pancake house. He sees her small figure tucked into a seat in the corner table. It sends a pang of something like fear through him when he gets an inkling of just how happy he is to see her.
Ginny slides into a molded plastic seat. “I’m hungry. Want to split some pancakes?”
She eats ravenously when they arrive, tearing apart the pats of butter in their foil wrapping, ripping the cover off the sealed plastic pouches of syrup. “I shouldn’t have coffee this late. I’ll never get to sleep. I never do before five or six anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter.”
This casual Ginny. Flippant. She does not want him to feel sorry for her. She will not accept his pity. He admires her. He wonders just how many Ginnys there are. He wants to meet them all. That scares him, too.
I love that this story is set in Portland. I'm originally from the Pacific Northwest. I loved Portland the last time I was there. This story is very intriguing. I can't wait to see where you are going with this.
Author's Response: Thanks! There's lots more to come. :)
Ginny Weasley wants nothing more than to focus on her Quidditch career and have a fun time doing it - but between the Ministry of Magic's plans to implement new marriage regulations, slanderous news articles by Rita Skeeter and a pair of irritating Slytherins, she just can't catch a break.Category: Works in Progress
A feminist take on the Marriage Law trope, with DG for good measure.

This AMAZING banner was created by my friend idreamofdraco. :)
I loved this chapter, especially when there is a scene where Ginny provokes Ron's temper. I hope in the next chapter, we get to see Draco's POV.
Author's Response: I haven't actually decided if I'm going to do a chapter from Draco's POV yet - I don't know why, but it feels like cheating since the whole story has been from Ginny's first person so far. I'll see what I can do though! :)
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks so much for reviewing!
Ginny Weasley was the last person Draco expected to pick to join him in holy matrimony. Originally written for the 2011 D/G Fic Exchange on LiveJournal.Category: Completed Short Stories
I enjoyed your story. Ginny's feistiness when she first met Draco and Blaise was spot on. I found the dialogue entertaining. And I found myself wishing this fic was longer.
During her sixth year at Hogwarts, Ginny wrestles with her recent breakup with Harry and whether she should stay true to him.Category: Works in Progress
I find your story intriguing. I like the dynamic you have set up between Draco and Ginny. I understand Ginny's hatred toward Draco, but her excessive use of profanity is jarring. Yes, Draco is responsible for the death eaters coming into Hogwarts, but it feels like Ginny feels he is responsible for everything including Harry breaking up with her.
Author's Response: I feel like since Ginny is only sixteen, she would be very prone to making Draco a scapegoat instead of putting blame where it is due. Also, I think this year is her "angsty teenager phase," hence the incredible amount of profanity. Especially under pressure, I see Ginny as a girl who uses profanity to cover her own feelings and look "tough." I do appreciate you pointing out her flaws--I'm trying to make her appear fairly illogical and rash. Thank you so much for reading!
Ginny returns home to find that life at the Burrow has completely changed in her absence. It's all Ron's fault, and it's up to her to try to save her poor brother, but she may be too late. Worse, she may get sucked into the madness along with everyone else and start liking her brother's new best friend.Category: Long and Completed
I loved this story! I'm a bit disappointed that it is over, but thank you for sharing.
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed!

This is off to an interesting start. I don't think I've ever read a fic where Ron and Draco are best mates and making Astoria Ron's love interest is the icing on the cake, it's very original. I cannot wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: I think I was inspired from one too many fics where Ron was just unrealistically unreasonable, so I decided to twist it around. Tho, I think Ron and Draco really do have a lot in common, based on the old family wizard heritage and I can see them making a connection at a more base level, where Ron's friendship with Harry and Hermione would differ, because they both were raised in Muggle society. I just see it as a connection that could be build on, if they let it happen. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the review!
Best wishes

Ginny Weasley jumps from job to job, never able to hold one down. When she comes into a bit of a windfall, her friends and family try to convince her to be practical, but Ginny needs to get away. A chance encounter with Draco Malfoy in Italy teaches her that the only person she needs to rely on is herself. EWE.Category: Long and CompletedWritten for Interhouse Fest 2013.
You have definitely surprised me, I was not expecting the money to be a pay off of sorts. Ginny and Draco constantly challenge each other in ways I do not think either have realized or are unwilling to admit at this point. I cannot wait to see what direction things are going to shift towards next time.
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! Hopefully, I'll be able to finish up the next chapter soonish, so hopefully it won't be as long of a wait. :D
I like what you have started here. I am intrigued foe what is to happen next.
Author's Response: Thanks! Can't wait to share the next part! :D
When Draco is released from Azkaban into the care of the Weasleys, he has an opportunity to start fresh. One-shot.Category: Completed Short Stories
I really enjoyed this story. I hope you decide to make it more than just a one-shot. It has the possibilities to be so much more.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really want to expand it! I'll have to see how I feel after I finish my exchange fic. Thanks for reviewing!
While working for the Ministry headed by the Dark Lord, Draco runs into a familiar face: Ginny Weasley. What she's doing working for the Dark Lord, Draco doesn't know, but he's determined to find out.Category: Works in Progress
(The noncon is in the fourth chapter, and the reader merely assumes it has happened afterwards. There is no explicit description.)
This is off to an interesting start. I wasn't expecting Ginevra Prewitt and I definitely wasn't expecting her to be a secretary to Lucius, I like being surprised. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Ginny Weasley has a habit of getting into trouble, and for reasons she doesn’t know, Draco Malfoy has a habit of getting her out of trouble. When Ginny finds herself desperate to spend the holidays away from her family, it seems she might just have a chance to discover those reasons for herself.Category: Long and Completed
As much as I'd like Ginny and Draco to get together without any drama, it wouldn't be as fun. I find both of their characterizations believable and not out of character. I am looking forward to the next update.
I really enjoyed this, even more so reading it second time.
Draco wasn't about to let the mystery of his Bonded mate go unsolved... or let her go once he found her, whoever she might have been.Category: Completed Short Stories
I really enjoyed this story. I loved the premise and was disappointed that it was only one chapter.
Author's Response: Sorry I missed this review. I liked writing this a lot, and there is probably more in store for these two in this 'verse... I just have to figure out what it is first.
While Narcissa visits Draco and Ginny at Malfoy Manor for two agonizingly long weeks, corsets are worn, gardens are tended to in the middle of the night, and socks are brutally mutilated as they are born.

Written for breereeves in the 2013-2014 DG Fic Exchange on LiveJournal and winner of the Best Minor/Supporting Character (for Narcissa) and the Sweetest Fic awards.
I liked your story and how Narcissa perceived their relationship surprised me.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Narcissa's misunderstanding of the situation was really the inspiration for the whole story. n_n
The Malfoy family attempts to recover after the Battle of Hogwarts, and restore the Malfoy name. Winner of Best Portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the 2014 Fic Exchange.Category: Completed Short Stories
I liked your story, but am disappointed with how it ended. It felt unfinished and Draco obliviating himself seemed a way to rush the ending. I would have loved to see the gala, especially because of the anticipation created by who was invited and the possibility of who would attend.
Author's Response: I wasn't too satisfied with the ending either. I always planned to have him wipe his own memory but I really wanted to continue the story until the gala. I actually wrote another chapter that I ended up not submitting for the exchange because I realized that I had too much to write before I reached my desired ending and not enough time before the deadline. I plan to continue the story in a sequel fic that I hope to post soon.
