I've already read Lady of the House and to be honest I did wonder about the back story to it. After this chapter I don't see how Ginny could forgive him. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing! Draco did kidnap Ginny and marry her unethically, but chapter 3 (which is updated) explains why he did it. I think he was trying to save her from her imminent fate, and he did what he felt like he had to do. They do end up reconciling and smoothing over their rockiness eventually. I'm glad that you took the time to read this, though. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

definitely more fitting :) we r hereby re-christened twinsies :D. i immediately searched for the scubarang story so i'm gonna read it 2nite [i guess law gets put off again :S]. i have never felt your fear by echo is definitely my fave pervy B/L story but i havnt read the scubarang story yet... so the jury is still out. i want new D/G updates... :(
Author's Response: Hehe, okay. We can even call ourselves DGTs if we're feeling too lazy to type out that whole thing. And I think I've read half of I have never felt your fear by echo, and then I think I went on vacation and forgot to finish it. Pervy B/L, you say? I'll have to check it out, then. :) And I really want some updates too! I have a whole bunch that I'm waiting for like Time for Plan B, Look at Me, Three Thousand Days of Innocence, Buttercup, a whole bunch of CCC's stuff, Die with a "T", and of course, Vineyard Summer. It'll be fun reading that one because now we can talk about it and analyze and such. :)

Oh hush now.
I still have to read the other chapter!

especially for such a sweatheart like you!

I'm almost done with my paper and then i have toread a 248 pages book and then i'll be done for the day.
I'll take a great big shower after half an hour pilates then i'll read and review as many fics as possible.
Starting with yours, of course!

Author's Response: *brushes sweat away from forehead). My goodness, choravenclaw, you are one busy woman! Good luck on your paper! I know that those can be really frustrating and time-consuming. And then add on 248 pages of a book, and pilates class! It's a wonder you're still alive! I think I would've keeled over dead by now from exhaustion. Well, best of luck to you, dead choravenclaw. I wish you the best of luck in juggling your busy schedule!

First, there was a lot of glorious diction and alliteration that totally made the emotion in this chapter work, “feel free to freeze.” You can hear his irritation with the situation, soo great! However, I am a smidge confused. First, should it have been “you shouldn’t have killed him MacNair.” That would’ve been enough to get me to stop fighting. Did Ginny dream watching them beat Draco, was it just a nightmare? You wrote something about her being awakened and then experiencing this. I think that’s why I’m confused.
Other than those lingering questions, you’ve produced yet another exemplary chapter filled with very appropriate emotion and characterization. I cannot wait for another one!! Much Love, Emily
Author's Response: *jumps up and down* Thanks for the compliment. I'm really glad that you liked the diction and the alliteration and that the emotions came through, since there were so many in this chaptr . (frustration, anger, sadness, worry, love) As for your questions...that actually is not a typo. I think he meant that MacNair should've killed the husband AFTER they were all done raping her, because once they killed him, she didn't respond as they would've liked. *sighs* poor unnamed narrator. Imagine what would've happened if somebody killed Draco while raping her...As for your second question...I'm really not happy with how I did this part. I might go back and change it after chapter 4. I don't think that I fully conveyed that it was a dream/nightmare. It is definitely a nightmare, though. Draco doesn't die. her subconscious is just putting all her hidden fears into a nightmare. (hehe, I had some people ask me if Draco came back from the dead, so I think I need to go back and make it clear). I had her awake at first, but then she drifted off and then had the dream. Sorry that wasn't clear. I'm going to go fix that problem now, because you're not the first one to tell me that it was confusing. Thank you so much for all your great feedback and kind words, though. They really make my day. :)

At the end, Draco’s almost . . . Bitter. Hopefully bitter. No, that’s not the right word. Determined, maybe, but very Draco. Once Again you’ve surprised me (this is sooo refreshing after reading so much and being able to guess the ending). This isn’t how I pictured they ended up together! I thought it would be later than this but this is so very in character. Draco never waited for anything in his life, so him to wait for her to come back to him, ha! Your surprises are so fabulously unexpected but so very in character. This is an accomplishment unto itself. Lovely chapter! Much Love, Emily
Author's Response: At the end, I think that Draco was very bitter (about the H/G, if you can even call it that, scene at graduation). Not only that, but he was definitely determined to have her again. I'm really glad that I surprised you though! I try to shy away from predictability, and it is one of the nicest things to hear when people tell me that I have managed to surprise them with a twist, or something. Their relationship did start really early (she's sixteen in this chapter, I just realized. Marriage at sixteen--wow) And it amkes me really happy to know that Draco is in character and not too OOC. :) Thanks again for reading and for leaving such a great review!

For "glossing over" you've managed to give more insight into the “what could've been” and possibilities. I agree that it would take you too long and I personally don't care what they did on January 10th, blah, blah, blah... Haha. You've managed to capture the emotion and the turmoil and the hope. This is their relationship (or how I see it?) and it's very well portrayed. Excellent work! Much Love, Emily
P.S. Oh! You've made me so happy that I have touched you in some way!!! I put a lot of time and energy into reviews and I'm SO glad that I've accomplished happiness on your part through them!
Author's Response: Yay for Emily! I kind of had to gloss over, since I'm eager to start on my real long fic. I just didn't have enough attention to give to this one, which is why it's so short. And you're right, it would've been boring to explore the day to day life of D/G, so I'm just kind of giving the main points. I'm glad that the emotion came through, as well as the rockiness of their early relationship. :) And you do make me very happy whenever you review! I think I'll always remember you as my very first FIA reviewer. And plus, when I see the same names pop up over and over again, I tend to take extra care in what they say. I'm really glad that you take the time to read and to review, though. It really means a lot to me. :) Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

God that scared me! I thought Draco had actually been killed!!....well, as much as a fictional character can be :D
But a great chapter, and a great story. It's always interesting to see how D/G's relationships are formed, as everyone has a different take on them. But really great, I cant wait (rhyming!) for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! And haha, I don't know if I clarified that dream scene (where Draco "dies" but not really, since it wasn't real) enough, but Im glad that you got it. I'm glad that you liked the chapter, though. D/G had quite a rocky relationship prior to what they had in "Lady". And as for the next chapter, it'll be the last one, and then I'm done. (a big of rhyming too. :) ) Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

For this being your second fic this is awesome :) I cannot wait for more!!
Also Draco doesn't excatly explain his reasons haha but I like that Ginny got what they were supposed to mean
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Draco is kind of vague with his reasons--he never tells her outright about why he did it. I don't think he'd be very good at explaining his feelings like that. Ginny definitely got it, though. She knows what would've happened to her if he hadn't saved her, and she's working on making it work with him. Just one more chapter to go, and then we'll be done! :) Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

This was a wonderful chapter. It felt really intense in so many ways. I loved Draco in this chapter. Wicked.
This is quite a good story, I'm enjoying it immensely.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. This was an intense chapter, so intensely packed with info that I debated splitting it. I ended up keeping it as one because I felt like the memories had to be seen together. I, too, loved Draco. I like making him into a secret sweetie. :) I'm glad that you're enjoying the story.

It was really hard to tell that that was a dream. Nightmare, more like.
Did Draco really help her brothers escape?
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! *sighs* I'm not happy with the way I did that dream scene. I don't think I clarified a lot because I assumed that people who'd read "Lady" would know that Draco didn't really die. It did seem to cause some confusion because I had some people asking if Draco was brought back from the dead. I mentioned in a line that it was a dream, but you're right, it's more like a nightmare for Gin to have to watch Draco die. And as for your question...it's in the next chapter, but *winks significantly and whispers* he got them out of the country a day earlier, but couldn't help any of the others. So, yes, he did. :) Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. They kind of had to work out some of their problems before they could progress at all. I thought the ending was cute, too. I tried to make it so that in the last line, Ginny would be the one that was possessive of Draco instead of the other way around. I'm glad you liked it. :) Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I must say, the brilliance of bringing the unknown narrator from Lady into this story is exceptional. Especially since Draco had originally called her out for being "not his type." I suppose he recognized her.
This is lovely, JT. Thank you.

Author's Response: Thank you so, so much! I think you are the ONLY, or one of the only, person that has mentioned the unnamed narrator in their review, and I'm getting super excited now. I was really searching for a way to bring her back from "Lady", but it wouldn't have been right if she'd appeared physically again, so I did it through a memory. And I love that you caught that! Yes, he did recognize her, but he chose not to call her out on it because it would've meant death for her. *sighs* I'm glad that you found some of the little things that correlate between this chapter and "Lady".

I dont remember if thats the one where N is with P but all the other ships are cool in it. i read one where H and P are 2gether, i dont remember if its Buttercup or not. but i just remember it being believable. definitely separated at birth :D...

Author's Response: Definitely twinsies. :) I love when he exploits her wackiness too! I just recently read on ff.net a story by scubarang where he gets her to spank her with a tree branch by telling her that there were imaginary creatures on his butt, and she was trying to get them off for him. That definitely made me laugh a lot. Makes me wonder who popularized B/L in the first place. The earliest I can think of is Misconceptions, but I'm not sure. I can't really recall an H/P, but I'm sure that I've read something about that. *smiles* we shall have to rechristen ouselves D/G Twinsies now. It's more fitting. :)

*jumps on couch like tom cruise* i love when blaise is shipped with luna. i think they are perfect. he's so un-slytherin sometimes in fanon and then she is so loony [in a good way] that they make a nice contrast to the epic battles that get waged in D/G arguments. i love R/Hr, B/L and Pansy with either Harry or Neville. i like the way that flows. Neville treats her like the princess Draco never did or Harry is her humble and loyal servant/sex slave [i always see H/P as being unable to control their collective libidos] shagging on every surface available, or maybe i'm just a perv. that might explain y my fave fics tend to be smutfics.i see D/G like H/P except the love/lust is more balanced, but justt as explosive and epic. i think Hermione is the only person who can keep Ron in check, she's the boss.
-D/G Buddy :D
Author's Response: Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness! We are truly twins. Undeniable, separated-at-birth twins! I LOVE B/L (for the same reasons you do. I love it when he accepts her looniness, and sometimes takes advantage of it sexually) and R/Hr is the only ones I think Hermione should go with, since I despise D/Hr, and H/Hr was shot down by JKR sometime ago (as was D/Hr, yay!). As for Pansy, I WANT HER WITH NEVILLE TOO! That part got me really, really excited because I have almost never heard of Pansy/Neville from anybody, and it made me so, so happy that you liked that ship too. And H/P sounds really, really cool! I hardly read about this one too, but you're right. They would have really nice sex lives. Unfortunately, Harry is not paired with Pansy. He's more of part of the D/G conflict. He'll get his girl in the end, though. And as for smutfics, I love D/G smutty fics too. I like a bit of physical and emotional romance going on. :) *sighs* D/G Buddy, I think you are my long-lost twin. There's just simply no other possibility. This truly defies all reason. :)

dum-dum pops really are boss [i have a ridiculous sweet-tooth]. the memories were kind of a clean slate thing for them, letting her know that he really did care no matter how cruel it looked. im looking forward to seeing the narrator again and of course, long live little pink-haired D/G babies. i generally love blaise as draco's awesome bestfriend, so seeing him as a pervy baddie in this was hard but i see y it was necessary. hopefully in the longer chapter fic, he'll be good and witty and slytherin sexxxy rather than a scary baddie. D/G Buddy present :D
Author's Response: *sighs dreamily* I really love dum-dums, ESPECIALLY root-beer flavor, which is kinda weird. Hmm, now I want a cupcake with pink sprinkles...Haha. We are such twinsies. And Draco will always care for Gin, no matter what. I truly love D/G so much. It takes up all my free time. And I hope they have tons of pink haired babies. Maybe have one while on a trip to Tahiti would be nice. :) I really, really, really love Blaise too! I have no idea why he's such a meanie in this one. Don't worry, Blaise will be good in the next one. He's with Luna, and I don't know if you ship that or not. Ron and Hermione will be together too. But Blaise will definitely be good. No more bad Blaise. :) And D/G buddy severely appreciated and cherished. :)

Oh gee, that is one desperate man. But you know that in Great Britain they don't have graduations unless it's from uni, right?

I had no idea that Britian doesn't have graduation! *sighs* My Americanisms are really becoming a problem.

You're a really good author and I love the way this is progressing. I think my favorite part of this chapter is "But soon, she had had no choice but to come to terms that she couldn’t just explain away her feelings for him anymore."
Author's Response: Thank you so, so much! I'm really glad that you like it. This really isn't my favorite piece to write, but people who read "Lady" wanted a sort of prequel to explain the beginning of the D/G relationship, so I came up with an idea for a 3-4 chaptered thing. It's pretty short and should be wrapped up soon enough. Your favorite part is also one of my favorite parts too. :) I like to think that the D/G ichemistry is just too irresistible.

It's not my favorite piece I've written, but a lot of people did review "Lady of the House" and ask for a prequel, so I naturally caved.
