Great story, from beginning to end. Can't wait for the next one.

I came into this fic with low expectations as I'm not a Pansy fan, but I was completely blown away by the characterisations, schemes and relationships. I'm not sure leaving the ending as it is is a good thing, but it at least creates some room for the reader to use their imagination. Good job.

Nicely written. It seems like It will be a threesome, but I hope it stays a couple and Ginny as the little sister or close confidant.

I enjoyed this story immensely. It was very well done and I congratulate you on your character depictions especially the use of Pansy as the main romantic interest of the tale since she is overall an underutilised character by most people. All in all I would recommend other people to read it and I cant wait to check out some of your other work.

Hi there !

Having just finished this story in pretty much one big sitting....I LOVED IT !!

I saw a reference to this story by - I THINK - TheBlackHand724 on Fanfiction.net, Master of War story if i recall correctly, but again i'm not sure.

So far this is pretty much the first Harry/Pansy story that has some length to it and really works.

I'm quite partial to Harry ending up with a Slytherin, or more over showing his Slytherin side so to speak :P

In any case, Great work ! Right now i'm about to work my way through Blue Steel and probably the rest of your fics too ^^.

I hope you'll continue to write many more stories, as I'm sure i'll enjoy them.

Loved the way you incorporated Nymphy's metamorph skills like that btw first time i've read something like that as well.

All the best,

Xander-45acp [yes i'm a bit of a gun nut, couldn't help but chuckle at Betsy ]

So what was Molly on about? Is this now officially Harry/Ginny/Pansy? And what about a sequel? Any chance of one?

Not one of my favorites among your stories. The start was very good. You were able to give Pansy a real make over. I thought you were brilliant in transforming canon pug-faced Pansy in to a nice, beautiful witch. What ruined it for me was despite the great love between Harry and Pansy, you inserted Ginny into the relationship of Harry and Pansy. You did a great makeover of Ginny as well and became sympathetic towards her and inserted her in the relationship. I honestly thought that naming the story as Harry/Pansy was false advertising. You should label this as Harry/Pansy/Ginny.

Great story. Thanks!

Man I usually love all your ff's but this one let me with a sour taste after finishing it. The threeway relationship got really bothersome at some point and Pansy in last chapters got really flat, you didn't even do something about the engagement. I love your stories, I really like your stories with non canon pairings but this was kind off meh at the end.

I hope you get something new for us up soon. I love Dawn...

Till the next time.

Cheers

The only real objection, if you could call it that, was that Bella surrendered. That should have been honored. Yes, she's a death eater. A terrorist. However she SURRENDERED. If for nothing other than the intelligence value, that should have been honored.

Just finished reading this story for at least the 10th time, and I just keep falling more and more in love with it every time I read it. Your characterization is superb...Ginny and Pansy are both fully developed characters by the end and are very believable. Your plots and sub-plots are interesting and keep me invested in the story, and overall I really love what you've done with the HP universe.

All that being said, I do have two small complaints. Well...one complaint/criticism and one error that I just feel compelled to point out. The criticism is this: The half of the story, especially the last two chapters, felt *incredibly* rushed. For the first half of the story it seems like you took plenty of time to develop the characters and highlight their interactions, but for the last part it was just like *hurry-hurry-hurry-and-get-to-the-end*. Now I dont know if you were just tired of writing it or your muse decided to take a bit of a break, but the rushed feeling is pretty much the only major criticism I have of the otherwise thoroughly excellent story.

The error, and I dont know if it's already been pointed out to you before...I searched the comments but couldn't find any other reference...anyway...it's a small thing, but every time I read it, it totally throws me out of my suspension of disbelief and it's really jarring. The end battle, where you have the two Apache attack choppers carrying the Black Watch, who then fast rope down...unfortunately, Apache's dont carry troops. They are dedicated attack choppers and AFA I (and Wikipedia, and the ArmyTech website, and others) know, there is no room on them for troops. There aren't even skids for them to stand on and be shuttled into the fight. I know that, over the course of a couple hundred thousand words of story it's just a little thing, but it still bugs the crap out of me. :) I know that it's not something that you can really go back and change, but going forward, it's one of those 'do the research' things that help keep your readers immersed. :)

Again, overall, I love this story and it's the only Harry/Pansy story I've ever found that I truly enjoyed (a few others have come close, but they're either Harem!Harry or Harry with Pansy and at least one other girl). Keep doing what you do...I love your work.

Alright, I've long been a Harry/Hermione nut (for years now), but recently the pairing has become stale, and I've been reaching out and giving other pairings a try, I've seen one or two decent Harry/Pansy stories (most are not so great), but this is the first truly great one I've seen.

I loved Pansy and her family and their characterizations. They were perfect slytherins, and that's rare to see in stories.

I loved how you handled Rona and Hermione - I can see why they'd want to try getting together, even in the books, but I think in the long run it would never work out between them, for many of the reasons you listed. I only wish you had gone into more detail in the story! At the beginning you went to different scenes with different characters, examining things happening all at the same time in different locations, but later on it seemed a bit like you were pushing to get the story finished, and thus skipped out on some scenes I would have liked to see (one I really wanted to see is what happened after Ginny's outburst at the party when she kissed Pansy, and Pansy went after her).

But anyway, I also have to congratulate you. You made me not just like, but love, a character I pretty much universally despise - Ginny. I don't know what it was, but your characterization of her once she starts thinking about her life after hearing Harry has a girlfriend, was the best, and most likeable conversation of her I've seen. If only JKR had done that (In the books Ginny always seemed like a 2D side character to me, and I was shocked when JKR got her together with Harry - I figured she was going with Luna or Hermione, rather than Ginny, who had been barely mentioned or seen until halfway through book 5)! I think I would have liked Ginny in the books had JKR bothered to develop her - especially if she had done so earlier on, after the Chamber incident, and turned her into someone like you have. Anyway, you've intrigued me enough with your Ginny that I'm going to give your Harry/Ginny stories a try.

Thanks for the great read, and I do hope that some time in the future you eventually come back to this universe, be it via a sequal, or just vignettes (or even "lost scenes" - like that one I mentioned before, wink wink :D).

When you were first writing and publishing this story, I steered clear of it, because I let the idea of Harry/Pansy turn me off... Then the story fell off my radar... since then my tastes have expanded a bit, and when FFA came back to my attention recently I decided to read some of the fics I had avoided previously.

Having just read it through for what i have no doubt will only be the first time I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. :-)

Thanks for sharing.
