Fresh out of Hogwarts, Ginny Weasley moves out of the Burrow to start life on her own. Along the way, she is thrust into wizarding high society and, before long, into the arms of Draco Malfoy. But are all the finely dressed witches and wizards she meets really as they seem?

Good continuation. I like how you include a dream every chapter. It really shows some insight to your character. Keep up the good work!

Author's Response: I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far. I'm afraid there won't be a dream in every chapter, though, only here and there. Sorry to disappoint! Thanks for the review!

Faerie Tales and Dragonflies by gidge_8    (Reviews - 200)

Light-hearted and fun. Ginny Weasley finds herself the target of a bit of manipulation while helping Narcissa Malfoy plan her 25th anniversary ball until mischief and a little mayhem land her squarely in a Cinderella situation. Romance abounds, with a litle help from the faeries. Winner - Best Portrayal of Ginny Weasley - 2008 dg ficexchange.

Aww, what a happy ending!! Wait... is it the end? Regardless, great chapter!

Author's Response: Sadly it is, though somebody has put the bug in my ear about maybe writing up the wedding. I will have to ponder this on my next long run and see what I come up with. Fred and Narcissa at a wedding could be a real hoot.

Good chapter. You seemed to over analyze Draco's reasonings towards the end. It was unnecessary. Overall, wonderful job!

Author's Response: Thanks! I\'ll look it over again and see if I can cut that back. It\'s one of those types of things that I need to hear from you wonderful reviewers!

Nice interpretation of Ginny. Your description of her made it very easy to connect with or at least appreciate. Good job!

Author's Response: Thanks - I\'m so glad you like her. A friend of mine who read this recently pointed out that she\'s me. While I did take some personal experience to build her character, I didn\'t realize I\'d made her so close to my own personality. :)

Wonderful chapter!! Loved the different angle you're taking with the Malfoy's. Excellent job!

Author's Response: Thank you for the lovely encouragement! I\'m not sure how the personalities grew out, but I did want the situation to seem more realistic and the personalities grew from that.

I wondered what angle you would take with the quidditch. Cool! Great chapter. Can't wait to read more about Narcissa and Ginny's no doubt soon-to-be blooming relationship. =)

Keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Yes. I can\'t believe Quidditch became so important in the story. I actually tended to dislike the descriptions of the Quidditch matches in the HP books. Funny how that comes back to haunt. :)

Good chapter. Can't wait to read about the try outs.

I know what you mean about some horrible accents. I once met a Japanese girl that spent some time in England and picked up traces of a Cockney accent. I still shudder when I think about it.

Author's Response: Oh my gosh.... I\'m trying to imagine that. It gave me a good chuckle. :)

Damn, you sure do post quick. It's such a refreshing change from others. Good chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks! Unfortunately, I may have to slow down a bit. I\'m getting bashed for some of my typos, so I\'ve got to weed through my stuff a bit more thoroughly.

Haha... he's so jealous...

Good chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you for the review!!! Gosh I need you folks to keep me going some days! And yes, he\'s so jealous. It will come back later, I promise.

Really good chapter. Your characters were dead on! Well done!

Author's Response: I love characters, being one myself. :)

So glad you didn't have Ginny immediately tumble into a new relationship. I think it sticks more to your interpretation of Ginny.

Very good chapter. The dialogue was well done.

Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you see that I like depth in the characters. She makes decisions and deals with the consequences, like we all do, I guess. As always, I appreciate your feedback. -G

And the lies keep adding up. She backed herself into quite the corner... Good chapter!

Author's Response: Ahh, the predictability of a romance novel rears it\'s ugly head. But, it\'s about learning a lesson. I\'m glad you are still reading and enjoying it!

Great chapter. The cat is out of the bag! Very realistic reactions. I'm looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Glad to hear you think it\'s realistic. It\'s a tough balance to pull off. This was one of the hardest chapters to write. In fact, it\'s been rewritten about 6 times. Thanks for letting me know.
