I'm really enjoying this. I've just started reading it the other day and ended last night, so I was glad to see this had been posted today.

I have to say, I'm not liking Ginny at all. There's something very sneaky about that girl.

And the almost kiss...goodness the sexual tension between these two just keeps on rising. I love it.

Looking forward to the next chapter!

Thanks! I'm glad it caught your interest. :)

She honestly doesn't mean to be sneaky. She could be fooled, but she's not deliberately trying to trick Harry or Draco.

It's too bad both Draco and Harry have reasons not to do anything about that tension!

My God! You are a genius. *attack hug*

Well, thank you!

I'm wondering if some of Ginny's "sources" aren't from Diggory and Nott. Hmm? They talk to Ginny, convince her that Harry is going to be risking his reputation for Malfoy (who as all Weasleys' know, is a horrible, awful person for having been born with that name attached to him. So then Ginny goes in to stir things up since they might have figured that the plot with male!Nott would fall through. Hmmmmmm. Possibilities. Possibilies.

But omg, so much love for Draco and the awesomeness that is him. :D

Maybe. *does not want to tell*

Of course, if they were that convinced Theodore would fail, why send him in the first place?

And thanks!

Well, they may not have been convinced. But its always safe to have back-up plans.

Aww, poor Draco. I worry about his safety. I love that he got to pay her though. Ginny bugs me so much and Daphne is just evil.

lomonaaeren February 20 2008, 00:29:51 UTC

I think it's a good idea to worry about him.

Why does Ginny bug you?

jinxgirl71 February 20 2008, 20:28:48 UTC

I know he did her wrong but I feel like Harry is Draco's and visa versa and she needs to move on. :P

=)

Ah. I like this chapter. ^-^ Ginny seems like she could be being manipulative but she doesn't really know how Harry was affected by the Incident, does she? So, she's really that frightened. >.< Poor dear. Glad to have an explanation from her and also interested in how, despite her fear, she still worries about Harry. Such complications. But, she is easier to understand after this chapter and I'm hoping she gets to be more comfortable around Harry, even though I doubt it's possible. This Ginny is waaaay more sympathetic than the Ginnys in your other stories, by the way. Normally I want to poke her, here I want to help her ( ... )

Oh. About the Harry-being-incidental-thing, I just had a thought that the Desire was to blame for that. Draco is a much stronger character in this story because Harry has basically purged himself of all strong emotions. This makes a lot of sense. x_x Since this might be the case, I am looking forward to seeing Harry-with-emotions and Draco-as-his-awesome-self interact.

Okay. I'll stop now. :P

Re: I spam-review. Dx lomonaaeren February 20 2008, 20:59:50 UTC

Yes, it's sheer fear. As for why she's so frightened...well, just like Harry thinks Draco wasn't there and can't understand the Incident, he doesn't really know what it was like from Ginny's perspective (because they haven't talked about it). If the time comes when she can express herself, Harry will understand better.

Draco thinks he has a way. Of course, Daphne also seems to think she can overcome everything Draco raises.

And that's an interesting thought about Draco and Harry. Harry has very deliberately made himself the way he is so that he doesn't hurt other people, so yeah, that probably involves getting rid of some of the fire and passion too. Draco doesn't much care if he hurts other people. :)

Thanks for reviewing.
