Hello :) I'm currently about to enter my Sophmore year of college. I'm undeclared so far but I'm immensely enjoying Art History and Archaeology classes. I still absolutely adore creative writing and anything that has to do with Harry Potter :D
You know, not even that imbecile, Orman can dampen my mood right now. Your new chapter just made my day. I am utterly, implicitly happy right now. I smiled hugely the entire time.
Are you aware of how happy this story makes us? Because you should seriously win an award for "Making the Most People Extremely Ecstatic".
Thank you for a marvelous addition to a marvelous story :)
Author's Response: Aw, thank you!! I'm happy that you're happy! :D
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!!
Five more chapters?! What will I do when it's over??? Are you possibly writing more? (she asks curiously...)
This was a great chapter as always. I imagined all of the views Hermione saw and just felt very calm. It was just very pretty. And I loved the riddle! :D
Can't wait for the next chap, but at the same time I don't want it to end!!!
Author's Response: What will you do when it's over? Hm, how about...read the sequel? ;D
I'm glad you liked the chapter, and I know: posting this last bit is definitely bittersweet. But there's still plenty more story! Thanks so, so much for the review!!
Ack! Cliffhanger! I'm not too upset about it though! This is it! And this chapter got updated pretty quickly!
Fantastic! Lol, my heart was pounding the whole time Ron was suspicous. I was like...oh bother. I absolutely cannot wait! I'm bouncing off the walls now!
Once the last chapter comes through I will have to reread the entire thing! Yay!!!
Okay, calming down now...
Author's Response: I know! I shouldn't have any more validation issues, which is so lovely. And I'm glad you like the story, even enough to go back and read it again!! Hopefully I don't disappoint! >.<
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!!
This about covered my fluff quota! I'm now filled to capacity with "aw's" and warm fuzzies and just cannt get ver how cute these two are! Aw, Hermione, you lucky girl! sniffles
I read your little blurb at the beginning and I think that holding off until February would have caused a ruckus... :D We just can't go too long without reading this. I don't think it's physically possible, at leat in my case :)
Oh my goodness they are too adorable! Ahh! I think I should have read this after homework. Knowing me, I'll keep getting sidetracked with the beauty that is this story!
Author's Response: Lol, I'm glad I filled your fluff quota! Warm fuzzlies are fun!
And yeah, holding off until Feb. was just a fleeting notion. I can't imagine how many e-mails I would get! But I like you all way too much to hold out for that long. I'm just as addicted as you are! ;)
As always, thank you SO much for reading and reviewing!!
Yeah! So exciting! I especially loved this line: “Because I’ll feel incredibly guilty if I just leave you lying helpless on the floor,” she said giving him a pointed look.
Once again, a beautiful chapter. And now I'm going to be trying to figure out who in the world was talking to Voldemort! Hmmmmm...
Author's Response: Ah, I like that line too. :)
Glad you liked the chapter. And good luck figuring it out! I\'d love to hear your theories!
Aw! I liked this so much!!!!! "Oh, hmm, what should I do? Well, I need to do SOMETHING! Oh, I know!" *kisses Hermione* How adorable!
Her dress sounds so gorgeous, and Draco definitely sounds yummy! lol!
And I like how he kept his eyes the same. I rather like your eyes too, Draco ; ) Anywho, great wonderful and super! I can't wait to see what happens
Author's Response: Haha, yeah, he\'s spontaneous like that. And delicious. ;)\r\nThanks so much for reviewing!
Oh my goodness! Fluff, how I love thee. It was such a sweet chapter, and the scenery was beautifully written. Truly amazing. It made up for the anger I was feeling towards teh Ravenclaws and Hermione's usually company. *Sigh* It was very romantic indeed. Ready for chapter 25 now!
Author's Response: Ah fluff. There will definitely be more of that coming up very soon. I\'m glad you like the details - they\'re fun to write! Thanks for reviewing!!
lol, i'm still going to be manipulated by my "blind" adoration for a certain slytherin boy and pray that it is channing relaying information to Voldemort. I don't really know what to think at this point though, and just really hope that chapter 42 (gah! is it really this close??) presents the deep sigh of relief most of us are dying for. Either that or I'll just have numerous, choice adjectives for the aforementioned slytherin :D
Amazing work as always! I look forward to the end, and to the beginning of your next work!
Author's Response: Eep! Yes! It really is that close!! And I'm going to try and submit Chapter 41 next week, too, so hopefully you all will have some closure (or not...) relatively soon! As always, thanks so much for reading!!
Ok, I'm having this very interesting mixture of emotions right now.
I'm appalled that they are making Draco stay in the basement. I'm really surprised in a way because I wouldn't think Mrs. Weasley would be as...happy...about that as she was.
I'm impressed because I'd never think of Grimmaul Place having a torture room, so kudos on the awesome idea.
I'm ecstatic because that was some of the sweetest bonding moments I've read in a Dramione fiction. Really, I was squirming with an insane case of warm fuzzies and copious "Awww!!!'s"
I was sad too, because Hermione was sad for him. This brought on more compassionate and pitying "Awwws"
I think this chapter has made me feel extremely torn, even more so than the others. I was in a torrent the whole time. I know I've said it often, but this time I seriously cannot wait for the next chapter!
Wondeful job!
Author's Response: Mrs. Weasley's reaction may have been a bit overboard. But she is very protective of her family, so perhaps toning down her glee would've made it easier to swallow.
Aw, thanks!! It was so fun to write a sweet scene between them. :)
Thank you so, so much for the review! I really appreciate it!
Poor, poor Draco! I feel so terrible. McGonagall was really angering me, though I know she has perfect reasons for suspicion. But I feel to terrible!
And Hermione is awesome. I wish they confronted each other though...But I liked how Draco was courteous about her not enjoying Qudditch all that much :) This was another wonderfully written chapter, and I cannot wait to see how Hermione deals with Draco...and, although I'm dreading it...what Crabbe, Goyle, and Blaise are concocting :(
Excellent work!
Author's Response: Yeah, McGonagall was great to write, but I can totally see how easily everyone can be frustrated at her. She\'s just trying to do her job, though. \r\nI\'m so happy you liked the chapter. Both of your latter points will be addressed next chapter, and I\'m SO EXCITED to see what you guys will think. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!
YOU'RE AMAZING!
I seriously don't know what else to say! This entire story has been absolutely phenomenal! I love it so much!
My heart broke a little with Hermione's but I kind of saw this coming. And I also feel terrible for Draco, your ending was perfect.
I loved how Salazar told Draco that he had a choice to do better. And I really was shocked that you killed off Ginny! Well, given the situation with Voldemort, not so much, but I wasn't expecting it. And then Harry! Whew! Crazy stuff!
I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel. I'm still reeling over that this is the end of this one! I hope you can post it soon because I don't think I can live without seeing what Hermione and Draco are up to every week!
I've had so much fun reading this story, thank you so much for writing it.
Christina
Author's Response: It was totally weird to kill off so many characters, but I felt like it needed to be done (however depressing that may be.) I'm so, SO grateful for all your support through this fic and I'm glad you had fun reading it; it was certainly fun to write!! :D
Awwww...I've been waiting for a fluffy chapter. Hmmm, good thing I decided to check the story when I did, I didn't recieve an email. Suppose it's from the hacker thingy.
Anyway. This was sooooo good. The ending was perfect. I'm glad they're not sniping at each other anymore. At least for now.
And it was so funny too. I loved the whole transfiguring segment. Too cute. I love this side of Draco...now watch him change back next chapter. Sigh, oh well. Keep up the excellent work!
Author's Response: Haha, yeah, I think the hacker thing is to blame for a lot of the issues on the site recently. Hopefully they\'ll get it fixed soon!! >.<
But I\'m glad you liked the chapter! A little bit of fluff never hurts anyone, but as you can guess, it probably won\'t last. Ah well, that\'s Draco, I suppose. Thanks for the awesome review!!
Aw, poor Draco, has to be alone for Christmas. I'm glad I looked this up, it didn't email me!
I liked this chapter. I loved the first line...that's how I wanted him to feel :) And I totally loved how he was all awkward in comforting her...so in character!
And I want to say Orman is the head in the fire so badly (all signs so lead to him) but I can't bring myself to say it is 100% him. I mean, we could be looking at a huge twist here. But I still hate him with all my being.
Uh oh. I hope Ron doesn't get all annoying again. And Ginny needs to chill.
I absolutely cannot wait for an update...I shall have to resort to just looking in everyday so that I can catch it when it first comes out.
Wonderful job!
Author's Response: It's weird that you didn't get an e-mail! How depressing. Hopefully the next chapter will be approved soon, so maybe you'll get one this time!
And yeah, Draco's a jealous creature, so it only makes sense that he would want to kill our dear Channing Orman.
Hopefully Ron will put his git-ness on hold for a bit. And Ginny is bound to relax sooner or later. Anger is such hard work sometimes, and she's been at it for a while now.
Anyways, thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!!
I LOVE DRACO!!!
He really needs to beat up Orman! As soon as I saw the preview of the chapter, I knew it was Orman! Oh...he is a dirty, old pervy, ahhh!!! Ok. How old is he exactly?
So, I liked Hermione's reaction to Draco's interruption of the kiss. Yay! And then they just go and yell...typical Hermione and Draco! I can't wait to see what happens with the fireplace. And I thik that Orman is working for Voldemort...we want to protect Harry's weakness...I'M SO SURE!
And the riddle was adorable. At teh very first line, I guessed kiss! This was as exciting as the last chapter...and I want the next one soon!!!
Hugs!
Author's Response: I imagine Orman to be in his early- to mid-30s. So...yeah...he\'s a little creepy.\r\nInteresting theory about the mission and I\'m glad you guessed the riddle! I knew it would compliment the scene quite nicely. :)\r\nThanks for the review!!
Ahh!!! I was so excited about the update, I forgot to ask: How do you think of the riddles for their door? Do you come up with them, or have you heard them before? Or perhaps you just put twists on the ones you have heard? I'm just asking because I always get a kick out of them. They're really good. Very witty! Haha, sorry about just remembering, lol! My mind can't keep up with my typing!
Author's Response: Honestly, it\'s a mix. Some I\'ve heard before and I think are cool, so I put them in. I made up one (which you haven\'t seen yet). If I\'m having a brain malfunction on the day I write them, I look them up. I\'m glad you like them, though! I think they\'re fun little devices to sneak in there. :D
Well, this was intense.
Oh please please hurry!!! We alll want to see what Draco will do to Orman!!!!!! I was so sure that Hermione was about to leave to her rooms and they would be mad at each other, but I'm so glad that Draco knows the truth!!
I love this story. I can't say it enough. It will definitely be one I re-read constantly when it is finished (after I start crying of course) :P Well, awesome as always, keep up the marvelous work.
Author's Response: Draco\'s jealousy made him persistent. There was no way Hermione was going to her room until he got the explanation he wanted. And although that was definitely not what he wanted, it was the truth. :)\r\nI\'m so happy you like the story and to think that it will be re-read is just a little mind-blowing. Thanks so much for reviewing!!! :D
ughh! a fun, sneaky little cliffie! now i'm all fidgety!
and, I absolutely love reviewing your stry, by the way. I dont think I could go without doing so!
Anyhoo, I'm really happy that things simmered down between Draco and Hermione. I'm so excited with their relationship! I liked when Hermione was considering the bad stuff about Orman, and the good stuff, and Draco was just hissing insults. I'm with Draco on this one.
I'm so excited for your next chapter; I absolutely cannot wait! Oh! and I can't wait to see how they have progressed with their transformations. I can't rememeber, did either of them reach a full transformation last time? I don't think they did. This is exciting!!!!!
Author's Response: Haha, I liked that part too. It seemed very Draco to me. And no, neither of them have fully transformed yet. Dun dun duuun!
I'm so happy you liked the chapter. Thanks so much for the review!!
AAAHHH!!!! Why do you think it's taking so long for them to update? We were all spoiled last week when they approved this chapter in a day or so! Yeah, I know, I'm just a little obsessed. But I wait so anxiously for updates to my favorites, and I'm patient for a while, but I really love this story!
Okay, I'm done. Sorry for that, I'm delirious and exhausted. LOL!
Author's Response: Hahaha, I feel your pain! I hate waiting for my chapters to be approved - I\'m way too impatient! Ack, hopefully it will get the \'ok\' soon.
This was a great chapter! I loved the interaction between Draco and Hermione as well as the one between Draco and Pansy...and I always thought she couldn't get any thicker! LOL :) Can't wait for your next chapter.
Author's Response: Haha, Pansy\'s simply full of surprises...Anyways, glad you liked the chapter. Thanks for reviewing!
Squeal! Updated finally! I was reading it earlier, but booted off for schoolwork...boo :( Anyway, this was another great installment! I feel so horribly for poor Draco! The ending made me go "Awww!" out loud! I still think Blaise is going to get something...maybe not next chapter but it will come! HA!
Hope the next chapter comes quicker! Loving every minute!
Author's Response: Darn school, always getting in the way of good fanfiction! Hahaha.
And maybe Blaise will get what\'s coming to him...and maybe not. You\'ll just have to see. ;)
Thanks so much for your review.
