Anytime Malfoy and Snape are the butt of a good joke I have to give the story bonus points. Bravo!

| Excellent humor. With Valentine's rolling around again, it was a timely read. Poor Ginny. It's so annoying to have a devoted boyfriend who lets you walk all over him and will do anything to make you happy - except break up with you! |

Thankfully, I've never been in Ginny's shoes, but I would imagine being ready to move on, but having a partner who's giving you no reason to want to could be frustrating.
Thanks for the Read and Review. |

| Um, I'm not sure what I think of the homophobia--nothing wrong with Draco being gay, of course, but the idea that, if he were, it should make him an object of derision is a bit problematic...) (And shouldn't we be condemning Snape for whatever it is he appears to be doing to Draco? Sexual harassment is wrong, whatever the ages or genders of the abusers.) However I enjoyed the story otherwise. It's a worthwhile perspective into Ginny's negotiation of her feelings for Harry and Dean, as well as her brother. Thanks! |

I guess I don't understand your point of view exactly. There was nothing going on between Snape and Draco. It was easily explained what was going on once Dumbledore and Minerva arrived in his office and found him to be removed a charmed set of flowers from Draco's hand.
As far as Homophobia goes. It isn't intended to be Homophobic, well not entirely anyway. The presumption would be that Draco probably would be somewhat concerned with the appearance of being gay. So yes from that standpoint it added to his humiliation, but the point of the prank was to show Draco being romanticly invovled with his professor and head of house who had given him unfair advantages throghout his time at Hogwarts. That would be a good explination as to why Draco always carried so much favor with Snape. Alas I could have just as easily had Draco unwittingly professing his love to Professor McGonagall, but it wouldn't have been as funny, because there isn't a back story there. I made the choice I thought was funniest as this was intended to be a humorous piece.
Thanks for reading and reviewing! |

It's a perfect Harry Potter short story.

Malfoy dared touch Ginny threateningly. Something Harry took great offense too.
I'm really glad you liked it. It's always nice to get such positive reviews. Thanks so much for leaving one.

Of course there's nothing in the story that contradicts canon, my betas are far to talented to let me get away with that. Thanks Katieay!
Although we did argue about the date on which Ginny and Dean became a couple.
Thanks for the read and thanks even more for the review.

| Cute and adorable. : ) A little beyond the scope/capabilities of HBP, but the characters are close enough. : ) The flirt-iness with Harry and Ginny in the common room was cute and enjoyable, if a little odd. Great stuff. : ) |
| Thursday 15th February 2007 18:02 | How to Try and Lose a Guy Before Valentine's Day (Author Response) |
Well the common room scene was a challenge because I had really envisioned working in the challenge line long before I wrote the scene. It made the moment a little awkward both in scene, and in keeping true to the characters in HBP.
The rest of the challenge lines were much easier, but I liked that one, and was really determined to find a way to work it in. My personal favorite was definitely Hermione suggesting that she kiss Ginny and then tell Dean that they had switched teams. Anyway, thanks for your support I'm glad you liked it. |

SQUEE! That was so cute. What a perfect ending.
I loved Harry\'s letter, I turned into a pile of goo. And he\'s right, Ginny was probably his first Valentine ever.
But poor Ginny, too bad she was dating such a nice guy like Dean.
This was very funny and sweet. Perfect for today. Thanks for making my day and I hope you win! |

*Snort* (oops, that wasn't a very ladylike sound, but who cares?) Lovely take on an H/G Valentine's day without them actually being Valentines. Harry's letter to Ginny was the sweetest. Snape/Draco, eh? I'm not sure I'd like to see that particular scene. Fun piece!
