Ooooo goodie! *squeals* I am so so SO glad to get back on board one of my favorite classic fics of all time! However, I think I'm going to have to go back and have a look at Chapter 17 because I honestly don't remember Draco's confession it's been so long.
But hot damn! Nice H/G scene. I'm really not all that into H/G, but if it somehow involves D/G/H, I'm on board! Hehe, jealousy. You create the perfect conflicts. ♥
So thank you so much for finally updating! And I totally understand that you won't have endless time to devote to ExIr. Though I might drop a comment or something sometime, so don't mind me! ;) Tally ho!
So I finally get to see the rest of the chapter. About damn time! And then you go leave us in a very sticky spot for sure. What exactly is Draco brooding over (and you really need to make up for that horrid H/G sex scene). I feel so bad for Gin. She really is in a tough spot - she's finally coming up on the fact that she has to let Harry and the past go and Draco and Lucien are her future. Then on top of all of that, she has to do with Draco's crazy aunt trying to kill her and Voldie having some crazy plan for her. I just want to smack Draco too, for being stupid and not owning up to his feelings or what is brothering him. He has to be all broody, but then again, I guess that is part of the reason why we love him so.
I do hope you find a wee bit of time to work on the next chapter at some point in your life *hugs*
Horrible H/G smut? :'-( I LOVE that bit of smut! The whole point of this fic is that Ginny and Harry WERE in love and WERE going somewhere with their relationship, but that Ginny has been torn from that into a situation not of her chosing and must move on. Thats the whole POINT of this fic! lol
Voldie doesn't have a crazy 'plan' per se, he just wants to keep her around and under his watchful gaze - keeping an eye on her, so to speak, until he can work out a way of finding out for sure if she can help him. Having her married to Draco is a way of keeping her in his peripheral awareness at all times. If she proves not to be of use, then she hasn't 'cost' him anything exactly and by the time he discovers that she's of no use, there wouldn't really be any point killing her because he has to keep her alive at the moment anyway, however dangerous she is, so leaving her with Draco is 'no skin off his nose' so to speak.
so i was thirteen when the last chapter came out and i still remember how excited i was and i printed it off and everything. now i am sixteen! and i'm even more excited. do you realize it took you about as long to write this one chapter as it took for jk rowling to write the seventh book? crazyyyyyyyyy. i actually havent even read the chapter yet. i was just too excited and i had to comment.
Wow! 3 Years! Yeah it's been a long time. I HAVE posted other stories and chapters in that gap though. Also, JKR is PAID to do nothing but write. I have a full-time job - I'd like to see JKR write as fast when she's arrived home at 7pm, is tired, hungry and knackered and not in the mood. How long would DH have taken then I wonder?
Hope you enjoyed the chapter - you didn't post a subsequent reply so I don't know if you did or didn't...
Thank goodness you decided to write some chapters for us. I was crying over the story not too long ago at work. I enjoy reading it ever chance I get and it was also listed in FIA as the second of three stories in the FEATURED STORIES. I wish you well on your intense college program and I am so excited to know what is going to happen in chapter 19!!
Yeah I saw Ex Ir on the featured stories bit and had a bit of a squee moment over it. In part, it was responsible for my posting this - I thought it only fair since lots of eyes will now be on said fic.
I'm not very happy with the end - I had a confrontation scene planned, but on further thought, I wanted to make the two focus points of this chapter the abduction and Lucius's musings and to put in the emotionally charged scene I have in mind would be overkill on the drama I think. I wanted to tone down the D/G in this chapter and broaden the perceptions of some other characterisations in this fic - Voldemort and Lucius in particular because I thought that Voldemort seemed a bit too easily persuaded in the first couple of chapters and I wanted readers to see there was more to it than that. Lucius, too, I thought was quite 2D and after the more enlightening view of him we saw in DH, I wanted to put a bit of 'voice' to it. So to speak. The scene was written WAY before DH, but on re-reading I felt it rather apt in the post-DH world.

I'm glad SOMEONE likes the H/G. I was rather fond of it myself.
