"Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it."
J. M. Barrie
Wait a minute!!! We made far too much progress between those two (albeit drunkenly) in the last chapter to just lose it at that. Come on!!! Grr! You do know I wouldn't gripe so much if I didn't absolutely love the story, right? Oh well, I'm still anxiously awaiting the next chapter and further advancement of their relationship. ;)
Author's Response: Narwen3! Hello! Hahaha… Don’t worry, don’t worry, I won’t let this drunken progress mean zilch so easily. Otherwise my story would not be able to get further. And yes, I know you would have abandoned this story and pelted me with some rotten tomatoes long ago if you didn’t love it so much. =D So thank you for being so patient, Narwen3!
What? No...no Ginny/Harry? How can you do that to us?!!! Haha, just kidding. I'd love to get a copy of that "deleted" chapter. Please send me one! And would you do me the favor of checking out my one-shot humor fic?
Author's Response: Man, for a moment there I thought you were serious!! Sure, I’d send you the actual version. There’s no problem except that you didn’t leave an email address… And sure, I’d love to check your one-shot fic!
Woohoo! *First review dance* Yay, I feel really happy that I get the honor of being first. I would like to thank my mom and my dog, my agent and. . .you get the picture. I really enjoyed this chapter. It goes a long way to further their bond. Yes, no matter how much Malfoy and Hermione would deny it, they do have a bond. Despite the fact that Hermione is not very good with understanding Quidditch stuff, it's a very big thing that she would be helping out the opposing team, even at the risk of losing her friends. I think at the beginning of the story I said that I wish they would find a way out of the Love-Knot and decide to be together anyway. I'm still holding out for that and way to go on this chapter!
Author's Response: LOL… Yup, Narwen, you're luck numero UNO! *dances with you* And your thank you speech was absolutely beautiful. =P Anyways, moving on… You definitely right about there being a bond whether or not they wanna admit it. Wanting to ride with Draco is certainly a BIG step, and, like you said, she’s taking a big risk in doing what she thinks is right. I do remember you saying that you would rather them get together without the help of the Love-Knot, and I do still remember that! We’ll see how it goes, yeah? =D

Author's Response: Ah, there it is! =D
Great chapter. I absolutely loved it sooo much! I don't have time for a longer review, just keep it up!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! And I think a short review is better than no review! Thanks for at least taking some time to write this review for me!
Ah, I love it! But still, desperately waiting for them to get together. How long is this going to be?
Author's Response: Thanks Narwen3! Yup, I know you are! =D How long this story's going to be? Well, I can't give you a definite answer on that, but if you meant how long will it take for SOMETHING to happen, well, I think you might find the upcoming few chapters quite interesting... At least, I hope you do!
Still enjoying the chapter. I agree that it doesn't exactly move the plot along but sometimes you need to put things in just because you love them. Why write a story if you don't love what you write? I give it 9/10.
Author's Response: I guess you're right. And it's not like I don't have other chapters that are just there because I love them! Therefore, I'll most certainly be keeping this chapter! =D
hahahahahahahaha!!! That is the best thing I've ever heard of! I hate Lucius Malfoy in the books but I absolutely love him in your fic!!! Keep up with the writing because it rocks!
Author's Response: haha...thanks a lot! i guess you like him because he keeps trying to get Hermione and Draco together right? thanks once again and yup, i will keep writing!
Great great chapter! I love the irony of Lucius showing up. You know, I really want them to figure out how to get it off and then fall in love so it doesn't seem like they were forced into it. I mean, it would make it seem more noble. Anyway, great work!
Author's Response: I hate to admit it, but I do quite like it when Lucius shows up. "You know, I really want them to figure out how to get it off and then fall in love so it doesn't seem like they were forced into it." --> All I can say is that you'll see how it goes! =P Thanks Narwen! I just went to check your story out. I can't believe I'm lagging so many chapter! *hurries off to read your story*
I'm glad to see you back! Great chapter, but I'm anxious for them to start getting along. Hurry!
Author's Response: Haha...They fight too much, don't they? I think they should start getting along (somewhat) soon!
More great stuff here! Good work and I'll see you after HBP. Long live the character that dies!
Author's Response: Thanks! Oh, and that's a good way not to let out a spoiler...Smart move...
Building chemistry between the two, nice touch. It made me sooo happy. For all the complaining I do about hurrying it up, you're actually doing a great job, taking it slow, having things happen naturally and I applaud you for that. I enjoyed this chapter lots and I hope that there's a jealousy battle and "my horse is bigger than your horse" competition in the next chapter. That would be too much fun!
Author's Response: Good to hear you liked it and that it made you happy! Awww, thank you Narwen3. That was a very nice thing to say. I really appreciate it. Thanks. =D Oh, and in the next chapter, there will be a battle and a competition all right... *evil grin* Do catch that one!
You win for a great cliffie. Congratulations. This chapter is one of my favorite yet, espcecially since they are getting along so well, especially the "embarassment war" about snogging. You are fantastic and I can't wait to read on.
Author's Response: Haha, evil right? But thanks for thinking that it was a good cliffie! I\'m glad to hear that this is one of your favorite chapters (believe me, it wasn’t an easy chapter to write, so thank u so much). More to come soon!
Great stuff! I can't wait to read the next chappie, keep em comin!
Author's Response: Narwen, you're back! Thanks for the review!
Hahahaha! This was a brilliantly funny chapter, and I absolutely adored Jinx. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Glad to hear that you liked it! I really like Jinx's character as well! Thank you very much!
This is just making me happier and happier as their jealousy builds. Fantastic job and I can't wait to read ahead. Amen to the stupidity of exams. Stupid exam creators. . .
Author's Response: Good to hear that you're getting happier and happier with the increasing jealousy. It will lead somewhere, I promise. Exams are DEFINITELY stupid. Don’t even get me started man… =P
Nice update, but once again, I'm anxious for them to hurry up and get along with each other!
Author's Response: Haha...Yup, they've been fighting for quite a while right? Thing is, I have all my chapters planned out and I write according to that plan. This mean that the "getting along" bit will come into play eventually and pretty subtly, but I can ensure you that it will! Does that make sense?
Yay! Their bond is strengthening, tigheter and tighter! All I could do was sit and grin during that broom ride. It was very well done with the realization of their proximity and her touching "bare skin" *shivers* Way to go, I enjoyed this one very much and hopefully you'll get the next one out soon. (I know, that seems to be all that you hear) ;)
Author's Response: Narwen3! Yup, it is strengthening, for sure. Good to hear that it brought a smile to your face! I think the whole realization of each other was needed (for our pleasure as well as theirs *wink*) I will try to get the other up soon, but no promises this time round because schoolwork has been drowning me! But I will, really.
Cry not, dear sparx! We're glad to be here reading and reviewing. You know that I've been pushing and pushing for them to get together and as it gets closer, I am more excited, yet more let down at the end of every chapter when it hasn't quite happened. Keep dangling the carrot, you're doing great!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you Narwen3! Yup, you have been pushing for them to get together from the beginning (and you’d always cheer when there’s that little progress between them…), so definitely understand your excitement and your disappointment when it doesn’t quite happen. But don’t worry, I’ll keep it dangling!
Nice ending, but after that wait I was hoping for a lot more. ;) Update as soon as you can please!
Author's Response: Hello Narwen! I\'ll admit, that wasn\'t the whole chapter. Initially, it was a lot, a lot longer, but I decided to chop it up and present to you gyus in small doses. So perhaps you\'ll like the next chapter better? *keeps fingers crossed*
