Woot. Glad that they are going to date on their own.:) I like the conversations at the end. Pouting Draco gets me giggly. Cannot wait to see more. Happy writing.

Author's Response: Yes, no setups...or is this some scheme that Serena has led them to...perhaps. =]

Great chapter. This want set their relationship back will it? Glad that he had the sense to cast a charm. I liked her insight on the thinking of those around her and how she sees them. Happy writing.

Author's Response: You'll have to wait and see. And for a second, I almost forgot to write that scene where he cast the charm. I was too caught up in the moment. Hehehe.

Date: May 26, 2009 Title: Chapter 16: Strawberry and Cream Tarts

Great chapter. I like that they can talk now without all that tension. I like that Lucius is willing to help her understand things. I'm sorta understanding Molly, but I still don't agree with everything. Will her old almost baby daddy be pretty much ignored. You want make it out to be Lucius will you? I really hope that she decides to go to the broom races so they can have some alone time. Happy writing. I'm wondering will Draco and Gin get married?

Author's Response: For the most part, her almost baby daddy will be ignored. Now he has to crop up because people are starting to think it will be Lucius. It will not be Lucius, not only because that would be predictable. But also because, well, I like Lucius and I don't want to break his family apart. I'm also not that big a fan of Molly. I don't hate her. But I would never do that to Lucius.

Great chapter. I'm glad that he didn't break up with her. I think tha something drastic would have went down then. Perhaps her disappearing again... I love Ron and Pansy the just work together. Happy writing. :)

Author's Response: Ron and Pansy are a good mix. You know, I was looking on past reviews. And, so far, some of your reviews were very accurate as to some of the stuff that might have happened in the story. I look at your reviews sometimes to make sure I can throw you curveballs. Are you a seer? Lol.

Date: Jun 26, 2009 Title: Chapter 18: Chocolate Chip Scones

Well poo, I had this nice long review all typed up and then kablam when I hit submit I wasn't logged in, so I lost it. Here to do it again. Great chapter. I really enjoyed reading it. I like that there families can get along. I don't think that it would go as smooth with Molly or Arthur there. I really could go the rest of the way with them not here. I really like that Gin and Lucius get along real well. I like how they get to Draco and make him pout.

And in response to your reply of my review for the last chapter, no I'm not a seer. I'm just good at seeing things and I like to ask a lot of questions. You also threw me with Warrington. I didn't see him coming along but now that he is here. Is Gin going to get taken or hurt? If not her then Serena? Happy writing. :)

Author's Response: I agree. Molly and Arthur would be much harder to incorporate in this mixed family. I think a lot of readers would love to go the rest of the way without seeing them. But I will say this, they will reappear in later chapters in a big, or semi-big, way. That's all I have to say about that. I like throwing people, especially you. I can't answer your last two questions. You'll simply have to wait and see. There will be drama though and suspense, promise.

Way to go Luna. She's gonna get everybody stirred up. Glad that Gin was able to talk with someone and gets some info. I personally think that they should take their time and get to know one another before they take the leap. Will the people be able to see through Tracey and why she is doing what she is only for good publicity before she does something nasty. I really hope that they are able to help Serena through her nightmares. Happy writing. :)

Author's Response: More on Tracey in the future. The readers will learn why Warrington has so much motivation. And Serena's nightmares will be linked to another event. I can't say anything without giving away the plot.

:'( really they are not going to try. Great chapter. I wonder how he is going to react if he sees her with someone else. I bummed that he gave up so easily, I understand why but don't like it. So he is going to grow old and be alone. Happy writing.

Author's Response: I can't answer any of your questions. I will say that one sentence in here is directly related to the next chapter. I won't tell you which. But once again, you've guessed a small part of the next chapter. You are very insightful. Or perhaps I am too cliched.

Date: Sep 21, 2009 Title: Chapter 21: Red Velvet Cake

Great chapter. I like that they have everyone but Draco in on the plan and then Serena had to go and ruin it. Seems to me she needs some discipline and learn to accept no. Glad that Gin took a stand for herself not to be a casual partner in the relationship if thats what she has. They should sit down and be frank with her, she is the child and they are adults able to make their own decisions without her... Happy writing. :)

Author's Response: Yes, Serena has been quite bothersome. But she's a child, and she believes that she should be at the center of her parent's universe. She knows she isn't. And she isn't very happy with it. Thanks for the review!

Date: Jan 28, 2010 Title: Chapter 23: Passion Fruit Tart

Great chapter. Hope that you had a wonderful holiday as well and the transition from break to school went easily enough. I really hope that they communicate some on their vacation and get a better understanding of the other. Perhaps a frank discussion with Serena is needed for her to come to terms with D and G's relationship. Happy writing.

P.S. Around how many chapters are left?

Author's Response: Communication is the key. As far as Serena and their relationship, I'm keeping quiet because you have a way of guessing what will happen. I refuse to give you any hints...none. I would say about 4-6 chapters. The ending is definitely in sight. I don't want to drag this out too much.

Reviewer: oxymoron8 Signed
Date: Feb 12, 2010 Title: Chapter 24: Lemon Meringue

Great chapter. Glad that they have talked some and that they are getting together on parenting Serena so she won't be as spoiled. Cannot wait to see who her guard is, if its anyone that she knows from school or some of his old friends. I noticed how they didn't use protection, so is another going to be on the way? I certainly hope so. How much more is there going to be, because you have a whole lot of desserts to go through still. Happy writing.

Author's Response: No babies. Or maybe babies. I won't tell. As for how much, I would say four maybe five more chapters. We're quickly coming to the end, and I plan on trying up all the loose ends into a nice pretty bow. :D As much as I would love for this to go on forever, I also have other stories I would love to start posting. But I only do one chaptered fic at a time. Thanks for the review!

Grrr... I think that Warrington should be worried. It may be sad to say but this is probably just the thing to open up Draco's eyes to what she means to him. I really hope that they find her /them before anything horrid happens. Glad that Luna is alright, as well as the baby. Cannot wait to see what happens next, great writing as usual.

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. Yes, Warrington should be scared, not sure if he is though.

Date: Apr 26, 2010 Title: Chapter 26: Chocolate Mint Mousse

Safe at last. Knew that Draco would come through. Hope that the put Warrington down and out of commission, then move on to who ever helped him. Glad that Serena was safe and away from witnessing what happened to her mother. Hopefully Gin is not damaged to bad. Happy writing.

Author's Response: Yes, I wanted Serena to be safe and show how much Ginny would go through to protect her. So they're safe. Thanks for reviewing! :)

Date: Jun 03, 2010 Title: Chapter 27: Chocolate Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting

Glad that she's safe and that she wasn't raped. It's amazing at what a mother will do for a child to protect them. I love your take on that relationship. Even with what she did Molly was thinking of Ginny, but I do think that Serena should know the truth. Cannot wait for Tracey to get hers before Azkaban. I take it that everything is winding to a close. I like the Lucius's insight to helping Draco hopefully he makes the right choice. Great chapter. Happy writing.

Author's Response: I really wanted to show that side of Ginny--the motherly side not the terrified one. Up until these last chapters, she's sort of dipped her feet into the motherhood water and now she's fully submerged. I needed that to happen in order for me to begin to wrap this story up. And yes, it is coming to an end, extremely close, within the next 2 maybe 3 chapters. I have a good idea of the ending but the stuff between here and the ending refuse to be quantified at the moment. Thanks for the review!

Date: Oct 19, 2010 Title: Chapter 28: Cinnamon Buns

Great chapter. I like the way its going. Is she going to tell people other the Luna that she is leaving or just up and go...I still don't like Molly and I don't think that I will anytime soon...:) I cannot wait for what happens next. Happy writing.

Author's Response: Yea, Molly will always be a villainess in this story--but we wouldn't really have a story without an antagonist of some sort, right? Thanks so much for your reviews, all of them!

Cute. I liked it. Thats is one way to pull him over to the light side. I liked that you didn't have rampaging Ron and he(Ron) seemed intelligent. I really liked how you had him to say sorry for Lucius. I don't think that I have read a lot of fics that had him do so. Happy writing. :)

I love it. Good on Gin to be able to control them boys. I like that she sorta opened up to Draco for a bit. I like that he allowed her to help him and go to others. Cannot wait to read more and see that Draco gets in shape. :)

Author's Response: I personally like when she punched him. He's got a little bit more to go, after we take care of the bad guy. Thanks!!!!!!

Date: Jul 03, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Owned

Great chapter. I like your take on what her family would do to preserve her and it slightly/wholly backfiring. I like your tender side of Draco. Will his parents come into play or anything like what happened in the 6th or 7th book? Happy writing. :)

Author's Response: Lucius and Narcissa are going to play integral parts in the story. I won't say anything more. Don't wish to spoil it. Thanks a lot for reviewing! :)

Reviewer: oxymoron8 Signed
Date: Jul 09, 2009 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Taken

Oh Draco what have you done? Glad that he is trying to protect her in some way I suppose. I like that you have Gin to not have the Weasley temper, she takes the time to calm down before needing to blow up. Cannot wait to see what happens next and if she finally looses her calm. Happy writing.

Reviewer: oxymoron8 Signed
Date: Jul 17, 2009 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Admitted

Great chapter. I liked it a lot. I like that Gin is accepting, but still baffled. So, was she kidnapped or not because she is going to allow Draco to care for her. I like that Lucius is looking at all the possibilities of having her there. Narcissa's reaction is different from what I expected, I thought that she would love that her son could have found his one and only. Happy writing. :)

Author's Response: You are like a mind-reader. Narcissa's attitude about Ginny's arrival is a knee-jerk reaction. She will be very pleased once she realizes just how much Ginny means to Draco. It's all mapped out. I think you'll like the relationship that starts to unfold between Ginny and Narcissa.
