First off, let me say how sorry I am for not responding sooner. I apologize...

Second, WOW! Hahaha, I love this review. Thank you so much for staying up latelatelate to read my fic! *laughs* I love to do that when I read fics.

I have to say I have very little sympathy for Ginny in this story

I've been getting a wide array of responses to Ginny, Draco, and their interaction in this fic. I personally feel that Ginny and Draco exhibit a lot of the same characteristics in canon, and I wanted to play around with that a little bit here. And Harry, of course, is the perfect goal to place in between them because they are both alike in their obsesssion for him as well. *sigh* How I wish canon expand upon that... (I haven't read DH yet; just picked up my copy today and I am eyeing it with nefarious intent. ^_~)

Ginny more or less seems to think love is first and foremost something that has to be deserved; Draco knows he doesn't deserve it, but can't help but love; and Harry, of course, has trouble understanding the difference between love and responsibility.

I think that may be the best summation yet for the three of them and their little triangle. I also adore this comment because all three takes on "love" have merit. I agree with Ginny's thoughts that love has to be earned, because I definitely think it does. I agree with Draco because you just can't HELP your feelings sometimes, and there's no rhyme or reason to any of it often enough. And I agree with Harry because sometimes sacrifice is necessary, though I think the boy is being too hard on himself and not letting himself live. The three of them need to realize that their interpretations do not stand alone: they blend, the mix, and all together, they make up love. And that's why I love using these characters as foils for each other. They work exceptionally well.

Thank you so much for listening to the music! I'm so relieved you like it. Loreena McKennitt is one of my favorite artists. Her voice is so full and rich and stunning... *swoons* She's definitely my Luna-voice. Thank you also for the links to the song Faraway. I'm afraid I am on a computer that is very slow to download, so I will have to wait until I can get back to my compy at home. But I look forward to listening to it! What I got to hear in the beginning sounds lovely.

Thank you so much for this review. It made my week. ^__^
