you know, I really really liked it. Mind you, I enjoy some good Ginny/Draco fics too, but the second person narrative was good. reading on then ...

Author's Response: Indeed, keep reading! :) I'm happy to hear that you liked it.

Ok, I thought it only fair that I review for every chapter (as I know that I would have liked that for myself). You really are a talented author. I really want to steal your muse. I wonder who that Slytherin boy is... Insquequo terminus, amanda

Author's Response: The Slytherin boy will reappear in Part 5 - along with an odd connection that I *barely* hinted at.

::GASPS:: Oh no! THAT NAME!... Sorry. Anyway, this review will have to be short, as I'm supposed to be meeting my friend at the gym.. but then I saw you in the "recently added" section and I was like, "I HAVE TO READ IT!" Er.. okay, well the letter was awesome. It was very.. Draco. But seriously, in all honesty, the name was what got me thinking. Bronwen? I'd consider that child abuse, I would. But then again, I've secretly sworn to myself to name my first daughter Hermione.. ::clears throat:: I'm one of those people that love nicknames.. so I was thinking about what could possibly be a nickname for that.. I'm thinking Bren. Anyway.. I loved this chapter, as well as the rest of your work.. But now I have to go, because my friend is calling my cell phone to see where I am, and I haven't even left the house yet.. Oops. :) signed, Samantha ::tens stars, naturally::

Author's Response: It was chosen because it's a bit unique (as in Draco, Ginevra, Albus?) and Draco wanted to leave some sort of distinct mark on her. The meaning behind it had a part, as well. But no nicknames, she won't stand for it. Now go work out, missy! I won't be having this laziness on my head! :) Harry's chapter is coming soon.

First I would like to say that I absolutely hate stuff written in second person, but I liked your other fics so I persevered, and it was definitely worth reading :) I too am very hesitant about the Ginny/Draco thing, so I eagerly await your back story to prove me wrong :P I was a little disappointed at the fact that her Slytherin managed not only to sneak into Gryffindor Tower, but up the stairs without tripping off the klaxon. I imagine you have an idea as to how, but an explanation would have slowed the story down... without one, though, it seems like a bit of thumbing your nose at canon.

Author's Response: Thank you muchly for sticking through it; I know 2nd POV isn't the easiest to read (all the 'yous' drive me nuts, honestly), but it was the only thing I could fit to the character. By all means, be hesitant with the G/D, it's not like I ever expect it to really happen; I adore H/G too much to ever screw too much with it The need to get this story out was too strong to ignore, though. Thumbing my nose? Not really; I did remember that from canon while I was writing, but considered my OFC was pretty sneaky and deserved an equally sneaky boy to match up to her. Besides, since when do a few rules stop Slytherins from being bad? Sorry, that was the easy, cliche answer. In the end, I guess I was just trying to emphasize that they knew where they wanted to be and didn't give much of a damn about which way they went about getting it - as opposed to another character. Keep reading, you'll see what I mean. Whew, long response. See what happens when you get me thinking?

::Gasps:: I LOVED IT! You don't see many of these lately, where Ginny and Draco had a "thing" but then it all fell apart. I also like how you have Harry and Ginny in love. Though this is a Harry/Ginny archive, I've too often seen stories where Ginny only marries Harry for comfort and protection after Draco leaves her. I loved how Harry told their daughter that it was okay if she was in Slytherin.. that was the first clue for me that something interesting was afoot.. I'm glad that Harry loves her, and is as supportive of her as he is with his other children. Now, unless I'm mistaken, I didn't read the daughter's name anywhere. Did I miss that, or will it show up in later chapters? Also, I'm wondering what happened to the Gryffindor boy who she beat out for the Seeker position. Like you said, there are plot holes, and hopefully we'll see them filled in in future chapters! ;) Wonderful story, if I didn't mention it before. :) 10 stars so far. signed, Samantha

Auth or's Response: It makes me giggle that we have the same name. The explanation as to why and how Ginny and Harry got together is coming soon (partly in the next chapter); in it you'll see where Draco played a bit into the situation as well as the surprise supporter that is Snape. The name, while not a huge revelation, is something I want to wait on for a while, so it'll come out later. When I first wrote this as a one-shot, she didn't even have a name. As for Harry's acceptance of her, that explanation will come into play later, too. Wondering about the Gryff boy? I'd think you'd be more interested in who her Slytherin is. *winks* Thanks for the review!

Hullo, I find the style of writing to be very innovative. It is an interesting way to tell a quick moving story. It is also interesting to consider just what kind of a life Harry and Ginny's children will lead. I recall how at the beginning of book 1 Dumbledore thought it best that Harry grow up away from the limelight. Many of us thought that Harry would possibly have grown up to be an arrogant berk like Draco was in book 1. So yes, what *will* it be like for the next generation? Will Harry and Ginny's children grow up as arrogant children used to privelege? But then the content of the plot... I won't say "enraged", but yes I am disappointed that you would pair up Ginny with Draco, even if only temporary. Read the books, and ignore what Tom Felton looks like in the movies. Draco Malfoy is a spoiled, self-centred, arrogant, twit. I don't think JKR has ever given him *any* redeeming qualities. I don't think JKR has *ever* written Ginny having anything nice to say about Draco. And finally, this is the son of the man who gave her the diary. And the son gives every evidence of striving to follow in his father's groveling footsteps. And so, the answer is "no". No I do not think that Ginny would ever willingly enter into a relationship with Draco Death-Nibbler Malfoy. Rare is the story that successfully convinces me of redeemed!Draco. best wishes, and thanks for sharing.

Author's Response: This story was originally a one-shot, but I couldn't stop from the others voices from bubbling over, so if you keep reading (which I hope you do, because I really enjoy thought out reviews) you'll see why I wrote what I did. In regards to the books, I see the Draco you see: a brat, bully and spoiled little boy who always wants his way. I tried not to veer too far from this, but I also kept in mind that once upon a time we could have completely considered Snape the same yet now he's a trusted member of the Order. Redeemed!Draco is not what I'm searching for here, but rather an exploration of the choices each character can and does make. Thank you for the consideration you put into the review; it makes me think harder about what I've written and how to smooth it over so that it's believable in the surrounding circumstances. But one last thing: Death-Nibbler? HA! That was awesome.

Wow! I loved the voice - it tells of a strong woman. My heart breaks for the hurt Harry and Ginny had to overcome. Great story twists. I'm looking forward to the other pov's. Well done!

Author's Response: Thanks! To be honest, I tried writing this at first from the child's pov and it just didn't work for me. Having it in 2nd person was uncharted territory.

I really really liked this story. It's sharp, fast, controversial and very very good. Can't wait for the next few installments.

Author's Response: I hope you like slower parts, too, because the fifth section is the only one that comes close to the first's speed. Controversial, huh? I suppose it is, but I'm glad you liked it all the same.
