Okay, here's the deal. I wrote this month, as you can see from the posting. Just not a lot. I moved twice, started a new job, and was introduced and forced to deal with an extremely scary woman who killed all desire to write. Also, I didn't keep very accurate records. But, I can tell you what I finished and what I posted.

tiggator: Well done. Great story! Enjoyed it a  lot!  :)  Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad that you enjoyed it enough to review.
delia cerrano: I am sooo sorry that this was the last chapter.  It was great..begining to end.  Want to see what you come up with next!  I know that it's sad to see this end, but it was a great little thing to work on to break up all the seriousness in Merlin and The End Shall Come. I've already posted the prologue to my new Drarry story. You should check it out.
unneeded: the final chappie. *sniff. ah, but it was such a fun ride.  a wedding, a silenced ginny and hot virgin sex.  what could be better.  so, if it 7 months was fast for a contract to be hammered out... does this mean there are no shot gun wedding equivalents for pure bloods? :P teddy was utterly adorable as usual.  come on, it's har and draco, like they'd have anything less than a strong bond. ^^ thanks for a thoroughly entertaining story and i'll keep my eye out for future offerings. ^^  Thanks, unneeded! *hands you one of Draco's purloined hankies* This was great fun for me to work on. I'm rather sad to see it end, but I always thought it would be about 12 or so chapters and that would be it. I'm just happy that I managed to stay within those bounds. I don't know what could have made it better? The adoption of a child or the beginning of a search for a surrogate? Nope, no shotgun weddings. They can run off and elope, but they're usually disowned. Think of the story Draco told Harry. Yes, Teddy was cute, all without saying a word. I didn't think they would, but that's what Draco wanted to point out to Harry with the golden light. No one else could give our Boy Wonder as strong a bond as Draco can. Thank you for reading and reviewing every chapter faithfully. You have no idea how giddy I was after every chapter was posted to see your review!
Seiren: love that draco n charlie get on so well love gin being bound and silenced for the wedding and love harrys innocent knowledge of sex :) enjoyed this story very much, hope to see more of your work in the future :)  Yes, Draco has found a Weasley that he likes with no strings attached. Well, besides George. But that was a given. Yes, Ginny was kept Silenced and Bound so that she couldn't ruin Harry's wedding. Otherwise, there would have been blood spilt, and I don't think anyone would blame Draco for it. Yes, Harry's lost his "v" card finally, and at least it was with someone who loves him and will worship him, sort of. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and reviewed so faithfully. Read Merlin, SD and The End Shall Come. I'll be working on those, promise.
blu kat: Loved your story. Especially what with Harry being very reluctant to the attention from Draco. Thanks for the read.  Thanks! I tried to follow the prompt as closely as possible. I'm glad that I got it down. Thank you for reviewing and letting me know that you enjoyed it!
Claudia: I loved every bit of your story, and I'm sad to see it end! Beautifully done  Thank you for reviewing! I enjoyed really writing this and the fact that it took me less than ten months to finish it was amazing. I am a little sad to see it end as well, but there's always room and time to come back to play with the boys again.

Title: Wooing the Reluctant – A Side-step to Courting
Author: Makoto Sagara
Series: Harry Potter
Archive: the usual suspects (ffnet, affnet, Foreverfandom, my site, mediaminer, makochanupdates on LJ, thehexfiles, hpfandom, and the harrydraco community on LJ); anywhere else, ask first.
Pairing: Draco/Harry, past Harry+others, past Draco/others, Oliver/Ginny
Rating: R
Warnings: Slash, ooc, angst, language, humour, EWE, mention of femme-slash
Disclaimers: I don’t own Harry Potter and his friends. They belong to a list of people, including the wonderful JKR, Warner Bros, Scholastic Publishing, Raincoat Books, and others. I’m only borrowing them for entertainment purposes.

Author’s Notes: Since the final chapter is going to be dealing with Harry and Draco’s relationship coming to the penultimate finale, I decided that I would have Ginny, Tracey and Daphne’s punishment as a bit of an interlude of sorts. Enjoy! The next chapter will be the last. Thank you for all of the reviews and I hope that you will stick with me until the end of the story. And this chapter is for unneeded on affnet, who rocks my socks!

Author’s Notes: One more chapter to go! Thank you for all of the reviews. I hope you’re willing to stick with me until the end! And yes, Ginny and Daphne will get what’s coming to them. I promise. I kind of like living, and the reviews had me a little afraid for my life for about two or three minutes. This chapter has a lot in it, so it’s pretty long. Enjoy!

For the last two weeks, I've been fighting with a very annoying case of Writer's Block that's affected all of my stories and left me with a general sense of malaise. So, in order to cheer myself up, I took a page out of[livejournal.com profile] askerian's book and tallied up my work for the month. I was surprised. There are the results.

Well, you’ll just have to read this chapter to find out. Thanks to Jokes for stepping in to beta while I deal with stuff! Love you, girl! *heart*

Dedication: To the lovely and dearly departed Jamie! I miss you already. You made this story so much better, and I promise that I will keep all the ideas you had for it!

Author’s Notes: Sorry about the time between the updates. My computer crashed and had to be reformatted, and of course I was nearly done with the chapter. So, yeah, it took a minute to get back into it. Thanks go to Raintenshi, Jamie, L, and Jokes for being there to help me get back into writing this chapter again, and to Skeren Dreamera, for archiving all the conversations we have over AIM. Without them, I would have given up.

Extra special thanks go to Jokes for finding the mistakes with Draco’s wand in chapter two and his middle name in chapter four. Oops? And, as always, I am eternally grateful to Jamie, for making this look better than I would by myself and keeping me sane in the process.

Author’s Notes: Definitely loving this new story. I’m doomed because I promised not to start any new stuff until I finished at least one of the five WiPs I currently have going on. What’s bad is one is almost done. So, I can stop feeling guilty, right? *cries* Anyway, enjoy! The chapter names are the rules of courtship in the Wizarding world, with little tips starting off the chapter.

Author’s Notes: I was looking over the Draco-Tops-Harry 2012 Fest prompts on the LJ community of the same name. Sadly, I write too slow to contribute, but some of the prompts were just too good to pass up. This is the prompt from one of my favorite authors, Lomonaaeren: #45 – Harry is in his twenties and still a virgin, because he doesn't feel much of anything for either sex and is wary about whom he dates thanks to the gossip. Cue Draco doing something different and interesting to attract Harry's attention. This looks to be humorous and with short-ish chapters, somewhere around twelve in total, but I could be wrong.
