Don't worry Faith,that just means that you're working hard on the site. And that's great
I've never seen Cruel Intentions & to be perfectly honest the parts of West Side Story that I did see, well I guess I could do with never seeing it again. A lot of people like it & it's one of those old 80's movies that everyone knows, but I just don't like it, so there ya go.
I'm completely off topic.
Sorry 'bout that.

ohhh she would be great, but she's like 16 or 17 now  +Ana |
As opposed to Anne Hathaway who is 18 or 19 or something. How old was Ella again?

| How old was Ella again? |
*looks in book* I think 15! And yeah the Harriet The Spy Girl would have suited Ella, better.
And...The West Side Story! Didn't that have Natalie Wood in it? (I watched that movie on her, sad life story!
) And I enjoyed that movie very much! 
Sort of DG, singing, right? Musical, whatever and umm...yeah I guess it could be!!
Mmm I'm a stinker...so I'm going to have to go with something from old literature.
Most definitely Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.
Ginny = Pip, Draco = Estella and Lucius = Mrs. Havisham.
*sigh* And Lucius really HAS taken an interest in Ginny (hence CoS) so it is one of the best parallels ever!
Oh and definitely Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, but that's really a given and a HUGE parallel throughout the fandom.

And Westside story? But he dies in the end, and is much too lovey-dovey for Draco.

Hmm I don't know many of these, but I can see D/G like qualities in Titanic, but not so much Ella Enchanted. They were friends first in that one.
OH! I just remembered the best D/G comparison!! And the girl even has red hair, and the boy (for part of it anyways..) has blonde hair! Ohhh it's sooo perfect! Anyways, it's Sophie and Howl from the book Howl's Moving Castle by Dianne Wynne Jones. Sophie is a great Ginny, at the beginning she's very shy and timid, and she and Howl bicker a lot. Howl as Draco is good too because he's really vain. And kinda womanizing.
Read the book (it's not very long) and hopefully you'll see what I mean.

For those of you that like the book, "Ella Enchanted." And thought maybe it could be an AU DG fic, well I've got good news for you! The girl from the Princess Diaries is playing Ella, as stated before I think, and the movie comes out April 9th! I can't wait! Though it looks kind of weird with the graphic things they have.

But I guess it's it's D/G-esque, I might like it.
And welcome, Nicky!

Yes, it does look boring, but once you start reading it, it gets better. You have to be in the mood for a romance-no-action story, though. 
Heeeey... I thought of a really weird pairing that's similar... Maybe. Sorta. A lil.
Danny and Sandy from Grease?

| Ginny (full name Ginevra, not Virginia), is the first girl to be born into the Weasley clan for several generations. |
Okay, after research on Ginevra, more commonly known as Guinevere, I've found something extremely interesting, for D/G fans, that is (interesting parts are bolded):
| QUOTE (The Camelot Project at the University of Rochester) |
Mordred (Modred, Medrawd, or Medraut) has become the quintessential traitorous villain in the Arthurian tradition. According to the majority of texts, he is Arthur's bastard son by his half-sister Morgause, the wife of King Lot. This incestuous begetting, alternately an innocent mistake on the part of both parties, as the French Vulgate portrays it, or a perverted seduction on Morgause's part, as in the film Excalibur, can in part explain why Mordred's character and sense of loyalty is so twisted. However, his reputation has not always been quite so bad. [snip] In the Historia Regnum Brittonum of 1136, Geoffrey of Monmouth first makes Mordred the traitor causing the downfall of Camelot and the death of Arthur. The villain is as yet Arthur's nephew, the youngest son of King Lot and Anna, King Arthur's half-sister. Interestingly, he fills the adulterous role with Guinevere that Lancelot will eventually play. While Arthur is away fighting the Roman general Lucius, Mordred marries Guinevere and attempts to claim Arthur's throne as his own. Arthur returns from France to fight a series of battles. The tragic last battle, called Camlann, takes place at the River Cambula in Cornwall (the present-day Camel River). Medieval French authors first introduce the incest factor. In the Vulgate cycle, the massive collection of French Arthurian texts that served as one of Sir Thomas Malory's sources for the Morte D'Arthur, two conflicting stories of Mordred's incestuous conception appear. In one, Arthur and his anonymous sister, the beautiful wife of King Lot of Orkney, commit incest unknowingly, discovering afterwards that they are brother and sister. In another the woman has been the object of Arthur's affections, and in a scene strangely reminiscent of the conception of Arthur himself, is deceived by Arthur into thinking that he is her husband, Lot. The result of this morally ambiguous union is Mordred, who, the Vulgate authors relate, "would have had a very handsome face if his demeanor had not been so wicked" (Lancelot-Grail, ed. and trans. Norris Lacy, vol. 3, p. 108). |
1) Draco is seen as a villian, although maybe not a traitor;
2) Fandom jokes about the Malfoys being inter-related- and in OotP, Sirius even says all pure-blooded families are related in some way, although not as drastic as Mordred;
3) The last comment- if I had a sickle for every time I read that in a fanfiction I'd be as well-off as Draco himself!
Also:
| QUOTE (The Camelot Project at the University of Rochester) |
| Meleagant (or Melyag®aunce or Melwas) is best known as the wicked knight who abducts Guinevere and is ultimately slain by Lancelot. The earliest form of the name, Melwas, has been interpreted as meaning "prince of death" or "princely youth." The classic account of the abduction story is in Chrétien de Troyes's Lancelot or the Knight of the Cart, in which Lancelot, because of his great love for Guinevere, suffers the ignominy of riding in a cart, a form of transportation reserved for criminals so that he can continue his quest to free her. |
1) Wicked? Well, well;
2) Sounds very familiar, "prince of darkness;"
| QUOTE (A Bibliographic Guide to Arthurian Literature) |
| Ymddiddan Melwas ac Gwenhwyfar The Ymddiddan Melwas ac Gwenhwyfar ('Dialogue of Melwas and Gwenhwyfar', also known as Ymddiddan Arthur ac Gwenhwyfar) is extant principally in two manuscripts of the 16th- and 17th-century (Wynnstay 1, p.91 and Llanstephen 122, p.426) and should be seen as non-Galfridian in origin, dating from perhaps as early as the mid 12th-century (R. Bromwich (ed.) Trioedd Ynys Prydein. The Welsh Triads (Cardiff, 1978), pp.383-4; P. Sims-Williams 'The Early Welsh Arthurian Poems' in Bromwich et al (edd.) The Arthur of the Welsh (Cardiff, 1991), p.57). The dialogue begins in the A-text at a feast, where Gwenhwyfar is waiting on the guests, among them Melwas: 'Who is the man who sits in the common part of the feast, without for him either its beginning or end, sitting down there below the dias?' 'The Melwas from Ynys Wydrin (Isle of Glass); you, with the golden, gilded vessels, I have drunk none of your wine.' 'Wait a little... I do not pour out my wine for a man who cannot hold out and would not stand in battle [and] would not stand up to Cai in his wine.' (Sims-Williams, 1991, p.59) In the following englynion Gwenhwyfar continues to taunt Melwas, while he proclaims his valour versus that of Cai. In both texts there is a reference to Gwenhwyfar and Melwas having met at a court in Dyfneint, 'Devon', but the nature of this meeting isn't clear. The background to this poem is a pre-Galfridian Welsh story concerned with the rescue of Gwenhwyfar ('white fairy/enchantress') by Arthur from an Otherworld Island of Glass controlled by Melwas ('honey-youth', who appears in other works as a magician who was a 'thief that by magic and enchantment took a girl [presumably Gwenhwyfar] to the end of the world'), similar to Preideu Annwfyn and its analogues. See further P. Sims-Williams 'The Early Welsh Arthurian Poems' in Bromwich et al (edd.) The Arthur of the Welsh: The Arthurian Legend in Medieval Welsh Literature (Cardiff, 1991), pp.33-71 at pp.58-61 and 'Concepts of Arthur', especially Chapter V and Appendix Three; also see B.F. Roberts 'Culhwch ac Olwen, the Triads, Saints' Lives' in R. Bromwich et al (edd.) The Arthur of the Welsh (Cardiff, 1991), pp.73-95 at p.83; O.J. Padel Arthur in Medieval Welsh Literature (Cardiff, 2000), pp.67-9; and R. Bromwich (ed.) Trioedd Ynys Prydein. The Welsh Triads (Cardiff, 1978), pp.380-5. For texts and translations of both versions see J.B. Coe and S. Young The Celtic Sources for the Arthurian Legend (Llanerch, 1995), pp.110-115 or M. Williams 'An Early Ritual Poem in Welsh' in Speculum 13 (1938), pp.38-43. |
1) Sounds like Draco striving to be "better" than Harry;
2) Draco's a wizard;

PS; I'm experiencing an excited, unrelenting plot bunny to do with this all right now...
There are a bunch of movies that remind me of Draco and Ginny. Or, more like the characters or actors in the movie. These might have been mentioned already but I'll go ahead and list a few that I can think of at the top of my head:
• Rose and Jack in Titanic. Even though he was the poor one and she was the rich one.
• Willow and Spike in BtVS. There is just a characteristic that makes them remind me of Draco and Ginny.
I can't remember any at the moment, but I'll edit this later to add.

Good point, IntheStars. . .
Some H/G shipper brought up this point, Ginny's real name is Ginevra which is the variation of Guinevere which is the wife of the King (Arthur) whilst Harry's name means king or ruler. . . What's your say? Is our ship already sunk?
I tried to appeal, all I got is it's pointless because isn't that Guinevere betrayed Arthur? And besides Hermione or even Luna has bigger chances than Ginny herself, Ginny made a relationship with Dean when the chances of being with Harry is right in front of her face, and she let the chance pass twice, so what is the point? I don't say that Ginny has NO CHANCE, all I say is that Ginny ha sher chances but deliberately let it slip.
That's off-topic, sorry
Ok, there is many stories that I can parallel Draco and Ginny with but the BEST one is the classic Frank Churchill/Jane Fairfax in Emma by Jane Austen. Even I was shocked when I read that Jane and Frank has this eight-month engagement going on, when Frank didn't even acknowledge Jane whenever they are in the same place.

I`ve always thought that D/G is a lot similar to Romeo and Juliet. When they do fall in love ( 
) do you think their friends and family will be behind them? Or will it be tragic, like Romeo and Juliet?
) do you think their friends and family will be behind them? Or will it be tragic, like Romeo and Juliet?
I think this could probably be merged with another thread, but I'll go ahead and answer anyway.
I think we'd have to know how they fall in love and what side they're on and whatnot...
For example, is Draco were redeemed *shudder* then I'll bet at least some of their family, or Ginny's family, would back them up.
If Ginny went to the dark side, I'll bet nobody would back them besides maybe Narcissa, and it would be more on the tragic side.
If they were somewhere in the middle, some of Ginny's family might agree but not many of them.
It all just kind of depends, really.

Hmm...
The consequences of Draco and Ginny getting together.
I sincerely think that the Weasleys could and would get over it. I think they'd be very hesitant and even disgusted, maybe, but the Weasleys are a good, strong family, and I think at least Molly and/or Arthur would give Draco a chance.
Ginny's brothers, though?
*thinks*
Hahahaha, poor Draco.
As for the Malfoy family... I think they'd be a LOT less understanding, even disown Draco.
I think it would be the same for their friends, as well.
And welcome to PK, HpDrfan!! *passes over pumpkin pie and muffins and all that other good PK stuff*

Haha yeah. Like in the situations I listed above, I think the brothers would kind of get used to the idea of Draco being around, but they would never COMPLETELY accept him... there would always be that invisible wall labeling him as Malfoy in their eyes, and would give him crap about it. EVEN if most of the crap is semi-goodnatured after awhle.

Yes, exacvtly. Because not only is Draco the guy who must be good enough to love and protect their sister in their stead, he's also a Malfoy.
And none of them will like that.
What do you think Arthur would do? I can picture him accepting it and testing Draco and such right off the bat, but I could also picture him getting angry that his only daughter is in love with a Malfoy...

Hey! I definitely see Freddy/Katie of School of Rock, similar to Draco/Ginny, first of all, just look at the names:
Draco=Freddy
Ginny=Katie
It kind of rhymes, right? And besides, Freddy reminds me of Draco Malfoy.
Katie reminds me of Ginny in a way that Katie is quiet but can definitely rock a band with her bassist playing talent, Ginny is quiet but she really has some passion on her.Lol
That's in my humble opinion, I'm afraid to be attacked by psycho-mods again, LOL just kidding.

Katie is quiet and seems like she isn't that important at first.. but it turns out, it isn't that. She's a cool bassist..
This is one of the reasons I love School of rock.. It totally reminds me of D/G!
And yeah. even their names rhyme!

Yeah, The Notebook reminds me of D/G too. I saw that recently..it's a very good movie. Of course, it was kind of opposite of D/G...because Noah's (the guy) dad was really nice and Allie's(the girl) mom was mean...whereas...Draco's father is mean and Ginny's mother is nicer. Oh well. It still reminds me of D/G because it was kind of a forbidden love type thing.
I haven't seen The Notebook yet but I really want to. More so now tha I knot it has a D/G-esque plot! 
Thanks for the input.

For this....Ginny's name I think is Virginia...not Ginerva/Guinevre.
VIRGINIA
Gender: Female
Meaning: Virginal, Pure
Origin: Latin
GUINEVERE
Gender: Female
Meaning: White Wave
Origin: Welsh
No think JKR wanted Ginny to mean, innocent and virginal...just like Virginia...since Ginny is the youngest Weasley, and everyone has to protect her and stuff.
Just look at how JKR got her other names for other charactors in the books and look how the meaning of their names go so well with the personality.
Anyway...Mrs.Wealsey said in one of the books that her name was Virginia...I'd have to re-read through all the past books to figure it out...but I certenly remember it clearly.
But to me, i don't mind what Ginny's name is in any of the FF...i just read on...

Yes, I do definitely agree with 'Romeo and Juliet'?

Oh I agree with whomever said Tithe! Kaye is alot like how I see Ginny...Roiben, looks-wise, is how I see Draco...and he is awfully protective and hard-feeling towards Ginny, er, Kaye, at times.
Another couple I can't believe people don't see is:
Spike and Buffy.
Buffy may not have red hair, but she is just as fierce as Ginny. And Spike is totally the type to verbally spar with her. I can definitely see it.

Another couple- anyone who watches Roswell (the TV show): Michael and Maria. Maria is quite a bit like Ginny, and Michael is really Cassie's!Draco without the Slytherin attributes- cunning, ambition. Michael and Maria's repartee really remind me of D/G.

| Have any of you ever read a book called Tithe? It's a modern faery tale, and although one or two characteristics of Roiben doesn't fit Draco- the girl, Kaye is a perfect Ginny personality-wise. |
You know, someone just suggested that book to me, within the week actually. Now I really have to read it. having someone tell me there is D/G-like romance in something just makes me HAVE to check it out.. remind me of this book sometime Crys, okay?
And I rented School of Rock today so I finally get to see that connection as well.

Oh! I'll remind you of it when.... dundundah! we meet each other!
Erm, um... right... something on topic....
Erm...
Oh! There's this book series, and these two characters that go to this ultra-cool magic school of witchcraft and wizardry are exactly like Draco and Ginny. *nodnod*

Hmm..Did anyone suggest Achilles and....that one girl..uh..I don't remember her name..but it was in Troy..But yeah..the girl that Achilles was with. That was kind of like a D/G relationship. I think...
Sorry if it's already suggested.

Hehe, well this isn't really that relevant, but I saw a Harlequin the other day, and the bosom-ful heroine had long red hair and a lustful expression...the hero had pale blonde curls and a rugged look. I just had a million plot bunnies at that instant haha.
Draco with curly hair. And lotsa muscles. Awww.

Benedict & Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing (shakespeare)
I'm not sure this works since they don't look like Draco (heh, the actor who plays Benedict is the one who acts as Lockhart in the HP movies !) and Ginny, but they sure do remind me of d&g. For one, they don't want to admit their love for each other and claim they hate each other. Also, Beatrice reminds me of fiery!Ginny *nods*

hi!
has anybody seen Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights? it kinda reminds me of D/G.. I dunno why... but it's a bit opposite of D/G... The girl in the story is the rich one and the boy is only a waiter (he's poor, folks!) But the part that really struck me is that the girl was all innocent and pure and Javier (The boy) taught her the rowdier things in life... Yeah, I think that's what made me think of D/G (either that or I see D/G everywhere! LoL...)
I've seen The Notebook and it was definitely good!
ciao!

Hmmmm... I think Draco and Ginny fit for several parts of The Notebook, but not all of it. And mostly not in the book. Though how cute would it be for old Draco to be like Noah in the sequel (The Wedding)? Feeding a swan because he believes it's her reincarnated? Awww...
I do think they fit in at the end of the young Noah/Allie part, when she's trying to leave...
Time for a new thread! You can find the new one here!
