An avid D/G-er with a passion for reading great fics....not writing them. There are some on ff.net that you will never find and that I will never post because they are poor attempts and tbh, I'm too intimidated to post on here :D

I also apologise for some of my earlier reviews, way back when, when I first joined. Yes, I know they were rubbish, and I'm sorry for saying 'cool story, well done!' to many a writer.

Fan-tas-tic!! Good god, that was wonderful. So witty and funny and hot! The characterisation was very well written, Ginny was my favourite but I did like Draco submitting the memo's for everyone to know about Ginny's love life - very good! And my favourite bit was her interrogating the house elf, that is definitely what I imagine Draco's house elves to be like when confronted with women coming out the floo!

The one thing that I would have liked to have seen more of, is Ginny when she changes her mind about Draco. It felt a bit rushed at the time, but you did lead up to it, with her having a crush on him earlier on. Apart from that, a very enjoyable story. Thank you :) xx

A Second Beginning by Sannikex    (Reviews - 123)

For Ginny Weasley, being thirty-two years old and divorced while struggling to raise a teenage son on her own, romance just isn't on the map. But when help comes from the most unexpected source she has to re-examine her priorities. Draco Malfoy has it all, the house, the job and the perfect son, but when he meets Ginny Weasley again he realizes all of what he never had.

The most beautiful ending to a chapter. Really really lovely.

What a wonderful chapter, really enjoyed it. Loved seeing all of their characters growing and what a sweet, warming moment with Draco and James. Beautiful! I'll be sad to see this finished, I'm loving it xx

Author's Response: Thank you, I'm pleased to know you liked it! I enjoyed writing some Draco/James again, it's been a while...

This has just made my day. What a wonderful set of chapters that I had the joy of catching up on!

It was paced perfectly, the characters were intelligent and well thought out and the relationships between the Malfoy-Weasley family was wonderful. You have done a fantastic job, you should have seen my smile throughout the whole of chapter 17. I thought the epilogue was very well written, just enough time to have gone by for things to have happened but not too much that the family have lost their close bond.

Maybe I'll think of more things to say, but right now I'm basking in my love of this story. Thank you xx

I'm so glad that this happened, that they were able to get along and the feelings that James was going through the whole evening. I'm so happy that the chapter ended like this. Beautiful! xx

Author's Response: Thank you, I'm so happy you're enjoying. It was an important chapter and I wanted to get it right! Hope you will keep liking it as it grows!

Wow, well wasn't that something. I have never seen Blaise portrayed like that before, and since he is one of my favourite characters normally, it ruffled me to see him being so cruel. But honestly, the relationship he has over the rest of the group was written so wonderfully, you can see how easily he has a power over them all. It helps too that we know barely anything about him and his family, so it was very believable. Gods how I hate weak Draco though, why can't he just be a man and protect her and so spend the rest of his happy life with Ginny?? Sob.

Stunningly written, thank you xx

Author's Response: This was definitely a different story than I'm used to writing, probably in every way. Blaise is one of my favorite characters to write and it broke my heart to make him so sadistic in this, but as you said, we don't know much about him or his family from canon, so he was the perfect character to use in this role. I needed someone that the other Slytherins were unsure about, and that mystery in him is definitely what keeps him in control of the others. Draco, also, isn't a character I like very much in this story. He was actually a lot worse in the original version, I think, since I didn't do a great job of explaining the threat Blaise held over his head. But while I was writing this, I kept thinking of how JKR said Draco is a coward and not really someone who can be redeemed. Personally, I like to write redemptive Draco because I'm pretty sure JKR got him all wrong in Deathly Hallows. ;) But in this story, I stuck with that theme of being a coward so Draco could save his own skin. He just came to care about someone else's, too, in the process. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

When a case of workplace sexual harassment leaves Ginny in a truly desperate state, the natural thing to do is to convince Draco Malfoy to pretend to be her boyfriend. Naturally.

Really enjoying this story, I love how they're getting closer and only just coming round to the idea. I wish pansy would go away on a very long holiday though!! Can't wait for the next one, good luck xx

Date: Jun 12, 2016 Title: Chapter 13: Thirteen: A Shocking Discovery

Oh Draco, Draco, Draco. You silly fool. You MUST go to Paris! Your relationship with Ginny and her sanity/safety relies on it!! - or at least that's how I see it!

I loved everything about this chapter! Admittedly I felt a little heartbroken and lost for him at the end of it but your Draco chapters are fab, they are so insightful and emotional without being too ooc. His and Colin's budding friendship is so sweet, and I really liked the way you got them both to open up to each other about the war. My favourite passage was definitely "Maybe they were all cowards, every last person on the planet. All with their own insecurities and fears. With things they were willing to fight for, things they were willing to die for, and truths they’d rather not face about themselves and the world. " the idea that they were so similar even when fighting for a different side was described perfectly.

Also can we just take a minute to praise Draco's growth in going to see Pansy and opening up to her when she asked what was wrong!?! Yes!!

I'm dreading the next chapter (if it's Paris) but eagerly awaiting as ever xx

Author's Response: I love this Draco so much! I've enjoyed writing him as kind of the opposite of the Slytherin Sex God he's often portrayed as (though Sex God Draco is a lot of fun, too!), and it makes me so happy that others are enjoying his struggle and growth in this story. *takes a minute* Yes!!! Our little Draco is growing up and maturing and talking about his feelings and it's so wonderful! n_n Let's not forget Pansy growing, too. This has been a group effort learning how to be vulnerable with each other as friends.

I'm dreading the next chapter, too, but it will be over soon (I'm hoping it doesn't stretch into more than one chapter like the pool party did), and then we can move on to much better things. :D

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!! I'm so, so, so glad you liked this chapter!

This is the best chapter so far. I love drunk Ginny - she gets so handsy! And you know how much I am #TeamDG. Loved the action between the two of them. Really happy that they opened up to each other a little bit more, and I'm so glad Ginny offered her support in the way she did.

Not nice of Draco to make her go into the Chamber stuff the way he did, but you wrote their reactions brilliantly. Really really enjoyed this chapter.
Congrats on your year anniversary! xx

It's so great to see this updated again!! That year long popsicle really did put a spanner in the works! I absolutely love your style of writing and I always think it's so recognisable, I don't know if it's the thought you put into your characters or the scenes you are able to describe so beautifully.

Colin & Dennis' reunion was so lovely and heartwarming. I welled up when Colin asked her to visit his parents with him. I'm so pleased Ginny told Lark to stuff it, and I'm excited to see where her ambitions take her! Looking forward to the next chapter! xx

Author's Response: Thank you for such a lovely compliment about my writing!! The Colin/Dennis scene definitely mirrors how it feels to almost be finished with this story. XD Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. More soon. n_n

Somewhere I Belong by Tiny Q    (Reviews - 97)

It’s been just over ten years since the Battle of Hogwarts. Society has moved on but not in the utopic way everyone assumed it would. For Ginny Weasley, however, everything is going great until a season-ending fall derails her Quidditch career and forces her to reevaluate her life. It also forces her to realize that there’s more to Draco Malfoy than she ever thought—something Luna has been telling her for the past six years… This is what happens when Slytherins find themselves filling the roles of Gryffindors, Ravenclaws rule the art world, and Weasleys are unable to use magic—or at least, one Weasley can’t.

Date: Oct 09, 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Ghosts

Do you know how happy this story is making me??! It's the most adorable thing I've read in so long, I was smiling the whole way through it last night (obviously minus the whole attack and blackmail bit.)

But seriously, I like how we are seeing a Draco who ran away from his life in England, who self harmed to try and get away from the DM and who drank himself into oblivion - but who is also trying so hard to turn his life around and make people see that he is worth more than being treated like the lowest form of society.

I'm really enjoying how you write and I find Draco and ginny so endearing together, she's desperate to show that she is strong and independent and he's desperate not to hurt her. I mean who's heart didn't break when he said "I don’t deserve someone as wonderful as you in my life.” Bah, pass me a tissue!! Between that, saving her and breaking up the naan for her- I'm in reader heaven!

My only issue is with your description, it really doesn't do your story justice! I put off reading the story because it didn't pull me in enough. Boy do I love it now!! Good luck with the next chapter! Xx

Author's Response: Aw, that's awesome to hear! I'm really glad you're enjoying it so much. Reader heaven is pretty high praise! :D And you were right about the description: I've been ignoring it for a while because it annoyed me... I fixed it up though, so hopefully it's more interesting? Does it pass?

I could tell you that I hated you, but I'd be lying.

There is something about the way you write, it's so witty and fast paced but somehow you manage to get tiny little details in there too. I loved the smiling scene, just everything about it was hilarious and lovely. And thank god they've finally kissed!! Finally!! And it was steamy too! Yay! (So many exclamation marks, sorry)

Really, really like the new summary. Just enough detail to catch your attention but leaves you wanting more - great rewrite!

For the life of her, Ginny Weasley did not know how this had happened.

I haven't reviewed in such a long time but I thought this story is great! Really enjoying the characterisations of Draco & Ginny - I love their witty conversations and how they're slowly liking each other more and more. I think even the background characters are very realistic too, sometimes the families are too forgiving, too nice, but I like how everyones still rather unhappy. Also, thought the Quidditch game chapter was excellent!

Really enjoying it and looking forward to the next chapter xx

Holidating by idreamofdraco New!   (Reviews - 38)

Ginny is tired of being the only single Weasley at family gatherings and all the pity that comes with that status. Draco could do without opportunistic women taking advantage of his desire to connect. The solution? Team up to become platonic dates during the holidays.

If only their hearts could stick to the plan....

CHAPTER ELEVEN SNIPPET:

When Ginny finally came downstairs, her eyes were bright and red-rimmed with happy tears. Her teammates and friends swarmed her again, congratulating her on becoming an auntie once more. She thanked everyone profusely, but her attention was clearly divided. Her eyes kept drifting toward Draco as if to make sure he stayed put until she could reach him.

And when she was finally free from the well-wishers and standing in front of him once more, it took all of Draco’s control not to pull her toward him and kiss her. That look on her face, the relief and elation—he never wanted to see it leave. He realized then that there was little Draco wouldn’t do to spare her from misery, like the kind she’d experienced over the summer when she’d been bashed in the press.

The realization frightened him enough to flee, but he couldn’t. She was here. As much as he wished to escape his feelings, he also couldn’t deny himself the opportunity to be around her.

Ok, so I re-read the whole story instead. I know you said that you were worried about too much thinking and not enough action and if I'm honest, I think it's one of the reasons why I liked this chapter so much. Draco & Ginny had previously spent 9 chapters both not thinking enough and somehow overthinking everything. Managing to get themselves into so many pickles by not being more open to each other and I feel like this could be a real turning point for them.

Having read all of the chapters again, I really appreciate how much each character is growing. Draco helping George and that sweet moment with Verity in the shop made me so happy. George's reveal to Ginny at the wedding was so lovely and I'm so glad she got to see that she does matter more than Harry. I know I said this in another review but I just love the way you describe things and paint pictures. Bah! Beautiful! So looking forward to the next chapter xx

Author's Response: Oh wow at rereading the whole story!! Your feedback is much appreciated. I really wanted it to feel like things were changing after the Solstice, so both of them definitely needed to step back and assess what they're doing and what they want from each other. Draco has definitely figured it out first. Good thing he's going to help Ginny realize what she really wants. ;) BUT FIRST she for sure needs to realize where her previous relationship went wrong so she can finally take responsibility for some of it and move on! Thanks for helping me realize how much this introspection was needed. Now let's see in the next chapter how Draco and Ginny move forward with their new insights. ;) Thank you so much for reading and reviewing again!! *big hugs*

Poor Draco, things really aren't going his way recently, eh? I'm pleased to see that they both ended up apologising to each other. I felt for Ginny when she was gearing up to Draco's bit speech and then instead he asks for George! Really love your characterisations of our main couple and also your focus on the friends and family too. Great chapter, thank you! xx
