When Ginny wins a bottle of Felix Felicis strange things happen. (This is set in Hogwarts era, but it's AU. We'll assume Slughorn still works there.)Category: Works in Progress
LOL I love it. Please update soon, I can't wait to see the explanation for Draco's absurd behaviour!
MTL
Hmmm interesting developments!! Update soon!
MTL
Ginny Weasley is absolutely sure that Draco Malfoy is hatching a particularly evil plot as junior head of the Ministry Department of Culture, and that it definitely involves puppy-strangling, bribing officials, and consistently wearing trousers tailored very tight in back. Or at least it's a theory that makes sense when she's been surviving on two hours of sleep a night for far too long, and Draco keeps vetoing her sketches for the new marble statues at the Ministry fountain. But then Luna Lovegood gives her a potion with some very curious effects, and Ginny finds that she just may have to revise her opinions about those evil trousers...Category: Works in Progress
Ahh, yet another wonderfully twisted and intense piece from you Anise!! I love this just as much as NYLTT... and, of course, it was jolly nice to see Cedric/Edward again! Update soon!
MTL
Once again wonderful chapter, I do love the way you write Cedric/Edward. I meant to comment on this in NYLtT, but always forget! Edwards, as we'll call him, is written here very much how I always wanted him to be in Twilight. I read the books and, though I enjoyed them as a pleasent read, found the characters quite shallow. Th background you create for Edward is wondeful but the art lies in the writing, as we know. The way you describe him and his responces gives so much more depth to him - I feel like he is a much better and more rounded character here than in Twilight! Continue with the good work, this too is making the trip to my favourites.

Ahh amazing chapter! I do love Cedric/Edward in this, there's an element of Draco in him, or the way you write Draco, that makes it make sense that they both are in a similar predicament. Ah, I see we are now going to meet the Volturi at last! Will an appearance from my favourite character of yours, Lucifer, be forthcoming then? One of the things I love the most about your charactarisation of Ginny is that, whilst she's different enough from the rest of the Weasleys, she still does stupendously 'Gryffindor' things - like openly invite dangerous creatures to get her into deep s***t. But we love it.
Till next time!
MTL
Ahhh Anise, once more you present me with a humorous and finely-woven chapter! YES - my FAVOURITE character has graced us with his presence once more, 'Nick' is going to take this to whole new levels, I can see that now.
I did love the cupcake of common sense! See, if we ALL were given cake as a reward for every act of common sense we'd all be much more sensible! And obese, probably, but thats what you have these desperate (and often futile) quests for.
Well, I cannot wait till the next chapter! As ever, you leave me in suspense!
MTL
HA! Poor Draco is a gonner.
“Let’s add Hagrid in McGonagall’s frilly pink nightdress and hair curlers for good measure!” spat Draco.
Ginny winced. That was really hitting below the belt.
Ah, that did make me chuckle so.
The end there was simply sublime, Draco's almost childish defiance and Ginny's... well, Ginny's rather sadistic enjoyment of the entire thing.
I can't wait for the next chapter, I'm going to have to purchase a parachute soon - my reaction times aren't very good, so being met with these unexpected cliff hangers where the ground dissapears out from under me is going to resort in a broken bone or two soon!
Till next time!
MTL
Another good chapter in which Draco is annoyingly aloof and Ginny emotional, I can't wait till the next twist is revealed!! Honestly, when the saying "circles within circles" was invented, they'd been reading one of your fics! I did enjoy the skit with Nick, I eagerly await his next appearance!
MTL
A fabulous two chapters to come back from Wales to! Finally - some answers! And most importantly of all... Nick! Ahh, how I do love that character, I got the biggest silly grin on my face when he appeared.
“Nobody can hide anything from me, from the heights of the heaven to the depths of the sea to Krispy Kreme’s top secret Devil’s Food donut recipe.
I did cackle so!!
As ever, you write desperate!Draco beautifully, I can't wait for the next update!
MTL
Oh Nick, you are my favourite, you are.
Mayhaps a tad random, but I loved Voldemort in this chapter - thought you had him really well charactarised.
I liked the random ending, though my heart both sank and flew at the mention of MORE plot twists, an odd notion I assure you.
I look forward to the next update, and hopefully to Ginny seeing/hearing soemthing that shall stop her doubt of Draco's feelings!!
As for your short and COMPLETED fic, I for one would love to see it posted as soon as, but I am unashamedly greedy.
MTL
“You’re rubbish with complexities, Cedric,” he said gently. “You’re no good as an immortal, and you never should have become one. You ought to have lived and died as a simple, honest Hufflepuff hottie, but it’s a bit late for that now. -- One of the BEST and TUREST lines int he fic so far!! Yet another wondeful chapter Anise, I thoroughly enjoyed how you wrote Aro, his honey-tongued art of persuasion and thinly veiled threats are most inkeeping witht he character.
Update soon, before this cliffhanger is the death of me.
MTL
Anise, terribly sorry haven't reviewed the last - what? 10, 12 chapters? I was made redundant and have somehow found myself moving from England to Estonia to live and work. Bizarre.
However, the story.
It's wonderful to see things finally starting to move forwards and come together. I can see now what this strange debt was that Edard/Cedric owed Draco, and that Giny must be the 'proof'. Very clever.
Nick continues to be my absolute favourite character of the moment, he really brings the comic relief to the story, with a capital... something.
Really looking forward to returning to the present, and seeing what Ginny and Draco do to get themselves out of this nasty predicament.

P.S - If you ever find those chocolates in Draco's mouth, do tell me. ^_~
Pansy is jealous of Ginny, and Draco gets defensive.Category: Completed Short Stories
Very sweet, althought short I think you did a lovely job with keeping both Ginny and Draco in character.

Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy are summoned to the headmaster's office after their children get into a brawl at school.Category: Completed Short Stories
HA! I half expected it - but it still made me smile all goofy like when you made it clear that you had defied the Epilogue of Doom. Fantastic!
MTL
Malfoys do not cry. Draco Malfoy learnt this unshakable rule at the tender age of three, but when has Draco ever followed the rules?Category: Completed Short Stories
Nicely done! I loved the repetitiveness of 'Malfoys do not show weakness', and how your described Ginny as kissing him 'patiently'. A lovely oneshot!

Nineteen year old Ginny is stuck at Grimmauld Place with Draco. Boredom leads to interesting things.Category: Completed Short Stories
LOL
Smooth recovery Gin, I'm well impressed. Neat charactarisation in a small oneshot - nicely done!

Author's Response: Thank you. I think she covered nicely.
It had been six months since Ginny and Malfoy had set off to Brazil to track down alleged dark activity deep within the Amazon Rainforest. Over three months since anyone had had contact with them. Mrs. Weasley had been frantic upon learning that no one had heard from her baby in a month, but the Ministry had assured everyone that they were trained Aurors and the best in their field, and that they were probably lying low and trying not to draw attention to themselves. A month after that even the Aurors had started to get anxious, rumbling that the disappearance of Weasley and Malfoy confirmed their suspicions of deeply dark activity in the South Americas.Category: Works in Progress
I'm really enjoying this so far, all the characters encountered so far seem very in character. I especially like Blaise and Draco's snark. I look forward to seeing where you take this. I also look forward t seeing how good Ginny is with a needle! :D
