The Vexing Hex by Elia Sheldon    (Reviews - 16)

The more he saw her, the more he felt compelled to say something, anything, to get her attention. Draco wasn't used to feeling that way about anyone, not even Pansy, his supposed girlfriend.

The Quick and the Dead by Anise    (Reviews - 107)

Yes, in yet another sign of the coming apocalypse, QatD has been resumed...


Warning: this one is DARK! On a spring morning at the end of his seventh year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy stepped out of the shadows that hid him in the prefect’s bathroom, where Ginny Weasley was swimming. When she saw him, she didn’t behave sensibly at all. So of course he had no choice but to do what he did next… or at least, that’s the way Draco remembers it. Now, it’s two years later, and Draco is about to learn the hard way that his bond with Ginny can never be broken… and that nothing which begins, ever really ends. The sequel to Szarenea's *Slave.* Eventually, there IS smut. Be patient. ;)

A Study of the Mind by Alexandria Malfoy    (Reviews - 101)

Slightly AU It is after the final war and Ginny has already started to rebuild her life. She is now a successful wizarding psychologist employed by Azkaban and St. Mungo's. Things become rather strange when both patient and doctor start to show some interesting changes. A bit of a crossover with the world of Wicked.

There is such a feeling of tension to this plot... I'm finding myself irritated and fascinated by the fact that I haven't managed to figure out where you're going with it yet.

Author's Response: I realise that there is quite a lot of tension with this plot, but there needs to be, especially considering what the last chapter will be like. Don\'t worry; I\'ve gotten several reviews from people who are irritated at the fact that they have no clue what\'s going on. Thanks for the review.

Vineyard Summer by jessica k malfoy    (Reviews - 409)

Ginny Weasley is sent to stay with her grandparents until the war ends, as her parents want to keep her out of harm's way. Her grandparents have another guest, another person in hiding, and a relationship quickly blossoms between them. However, with the war and so many secrets around them, Ginny isn't sure how to make it work. Fluffy occasionally, but things can't always be perfect, can they? Decisions have to be made and consequences dealt with.

For a fleeting moment, she imagined that they would never hear from their families again, that they would remain together in Tuscany until they were old and gray, with great-grandchildren. Much to her surprise, the thought didn’t make her as sad as she thought it should.

Fantastic first chapter. It may have been rather obvious to begin with who the guest was going to be but that did not detract from the plot at all. I loved the descriptions of the rooms and the food - it made a very colourful picture.

Author's Response: thank you so much! it\'s hard to make either of them a surprise when i know (and i guess everyone else does too) that this is a d/g story! glad you still liked it!

Along Came A Wizard by fallenwitch    (Reviews - 642)

A bet, a wanted witch, and a magical contract land Draco in a most unexpected situation. Can his Slytherin soul survive intact or will he succumb to one redheaded witch in bondage? Snarky humor, romance, and a pinch of angst. “I don’t want it. I didn’t order it. Now leave me the fuck alone.” He slammed the door closed. Only it didn’t close due to the enormous boot wedged into its threshold. One loud grunt later and it flung back open, almost hitting him in the face. Draco reflexively leaned back, and that’s when she was thrust into his unsuspecting arms.

The Hidden Doorway by kjcp    (Reviews - 201)

Ginny, Harry, and Draco have been leading separate lives for years, but then a disturbing case involving mind manipulation brings them all together. Rows break out, animosity and hatred grow, people die, and friendship is tested. In the midst of all that, is it possible for romance between two unlikely people to bloom?

I honestly can't describe how tense this fic has got me... I just want to knock Ginny around the back of the head and tell her that she's in danger. Then, of course, I can't help but want Draco to play the big hero...

Not that I'm even thinking of telling you how to write your story. Only... well, it's wonderful and I need more, lol. Congratulations on getting me addicted.

Break in the sun (till the sun breaks down) by Peki    (Reviews - 235)

Harry Potter defeats Lord Voldemort, and the wizarding world rejoices. Ginny Weasley's hopes and dreams seem to come true, at last; Draco Malfoy's end in Azkaban prison. But there is more to life than the obvious choices, and as Ginny and Draco struggle to redefine themselves in a post-war world, a chance encounter leads to more than either of them could ever have imagined...

What happens when two worlds collide with the help of a magazine and a rather determined friend? Can old enemies form bonds of friendship? Can friendship ever become more? Just exactly how well did Ginny’s brothers teach her to fight? And what say does Draco's drug of choice have in all this?

The Tempest by tudorrose1533    (Reviews - 101)

2nd Place at Pud's D/G Fic Contest! Five years ago, Draco Malfoy was offered sanctuary by his mother’s cousins in India. Now, with the death of his father, the Malfoys need an heir, and Narcissa sets out to find her son a wife through the aid of the far-seeing, fortune-telling Morcant sisters, who decide upon none other than Ginny Weasley. Seeing this offer as a means of escaping the horrible war that has descended upon England, Ginny accepts their proposition, and finds herself in a foreign land engaged to a Draco Malfoy who seems to be a strange mix of the old and the new.

Redeeming the Dragon by thelovinspoonful    (Reviews - 349)

"Perhaps it really didn't matter what he was, perhaps it just mattered that he was." Unexpected events lead to unexpected relationships. Can one person be so important to the destruction of Voldemort? Nothing happens by chance, but sometimes, life might be simpler if it did.

Aw, Draco's reaction to Charlie's arrival was great. I could just imagine him plotting and scheming to try and sneak away. I like your Charlie as well - I've got to admit the Charlie/Hermione 'shipper in me squee'd a little at their conversation at the end. Nice work!

Author's Response: Thank you!  I definitely like Charlie/Hermione too, and briefly considered throwing a little in there, except I committed Hermione to Ron in the first chapter.  Shucks.  Maybe next time.

Reviewer: HumbugGirl Signed
Date: May 27, 2008 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 17: Animagics

Very good chapter! I'd like to find out the specifics between you choosing a bull as Draco's Amimagus form. I've got to admit that it isn't the first animal that comes to mind. It isn't clichéd though and I think that's half the battle with picking creatures. Nice work.

Author's Response: Thank you!  The first thing I did when picking animals was go through the list and cross off ones that were already in use or Ihad seen a million and one times.  As for poor Draco, well, I was an ag major for 3 years.  There was a Charolais (admittedly not as attractive as the breed I picked for Draco) that had white hair and the snarkiest, some times most outright mean, temperment I'd ever seen.  He broke the archbone in my foot, and I'm certain it was done on purpose.  I thought their personalities were similar, as I seem to recall having huge issues making Draco cooperate when writing this chapter.

Draco's internal monologue about the room, and the bed, and the romance novels (which I'm really hoping make another appearance at some point, lol) was great. Oh, and the 'only one room available' ploy is a classic - one of my favourites - and you've done it really well so far.
