- Originally this planned to be 2k-3k in length, it just wouldn't cooperate.
- This is without a beta, so ( Read more... )
Your idea was pretty precise and also coherent with 6th book, because since Draco failed in killing Dumbledore it’d have been quite convincing that he had to be watched. Anyway it’d have been quite long and hard explaining Draco’s situation, making him meet Ginny and then trying to put them together little by little. I think it’s the kind of thing that shippers can do, but if you don’t like the couple is much more difficult and it’s even harder having ideas.
I do it too. XD Sometimes there’re scenes that are clear in my mind so I write them before writing the beginning, or it happens that a piece of dialogue, a phrase or a situation come to my mind and I take notes not to forget. I think it’s somehow complete, even without the previous part you planned to write, it’s ok like this. I had my friend Jo reading it (she’s a great Draco/Ginny shipper ._.”) and she liked it too; you know, when I read something I always like reading it with someone else.
You did. :) Draco doing a good thing is not so unbelievable, because even if he loves bugging the others, when it’s a matter of letting someone die he isn’t uncaring. Well, Ginny is sly, because I don’t think she kisses anyone when she wants to thank him. XD You’re right, because caring about his family name and his status is exactly what he does, and having him doubting about it is essential if you want to put him with Ginny.

Yes, exactly. I thought JKR did a good job in HBP of showing that Draco was very much a boy who was in over his head. And I agree, my ideas probably would've had to been over a few chapters instead of in just one, and my H/G heart just couldn't stand it I think. XD
Oh wow! That's way cool that you showed your friend and that she liked it too. *hugs you to death* It's good to know that not just us H/G die-hards thought it was alright. lol! Reading with a friend is pretty awesome. I don't really know any of mine around here that are into Harry Potter, so I end up reading the books with my mom. She's the one that got me into the series (I took her to see one of the movies and ended up hooked on the series and started to read the books!) I have tons of notes for future chapters for my fics, stuff I have no idea if I'll ever have the chance to write, but it's good to know it's there, even if I never get to it. :)
Yeah. Unlike some others, I always figured if Draco would do something "good" it would be something small, where he could do his part, and go unnoticed so it wouldn't take away from what's important to him. There's no perks where he is standing, so I don't see strong bands of loyalty to the Dark Lord at all. I definitely wanted Ginny to feel she needed to show she respected that Draco did something he wasn't supposed to help her, and that was with some affection he had forgotten could exist. If that makes sense. Although I'm sure she wouldn't be telling Harry anytime soon that she did that. A mere moment of madness I'm sure. ;D
