Thank you for your review.  As for the kiss, in my head, a kiss would have come next, but that semi-hanging ending just felt like the natural place to end it and I couldn't write any more after it.  I'll leave you to imagine the kiss and anything that might come after ;-)  Thank you again, xXx

Thank you for this review.  I wanted Hermione's fears and emotions to feel real, and I'm glad that has come across, however, obviously not glad that you could identify from personal experience.  I myself can identify with Hermione in a more general way as I find it hard to trust anyone, even enough just to become friends.  Here's hoping one day you find your own Draco.  Thank you again, xXx

Aww *blush* thank you for this lovely review.  I'm not sure about a follow-up to this, just because one hasn't occured to me yet.  But, never say never, so maybe one day.    However, I do have two other D/H stories floating around in my head and they are both multichaptered stories so they might satisfy you (if I ever get the time to write them!).  Thank you again, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.  xXx

Aww!  Thank you!  You just made mine   I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the review. xXx

You're very welcome, my dear!  I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the awsome prompt!  xXx

Thank you, Sunny.  I did panic that maybe I'd gone too soft with Draco, but it's quite a few years after the war, and I'd like to think he'd mellow a lot after those experiences.  The fact that he's become friends with Hermione at all shows he's a changed man and deserving of a chance.  Thanks for the review  xXx

Aww thank you.  I'm glad you liked it  xXx
