Six single people are coerced into filling out a form that searches for one's perfect mate. What if the outcome isn't to their liking... at first? This is my take on LOTM's YLC Challenge over at WIKTT.

I have noticed a real problem with your story.It's not updated nearly often enough Another great chapter, really looking forward to the next one
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
LOL! Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! I am working on the next chapter now!
Trouble, trouble...
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Uh huh! LOL Thanks
Can there be lemons for TWO couples next chapter? Hmmm?? D/G with Ginny in a "Weaselette" jersey, S/H in the dungeons? And let Remus quit sticking his nose in S/H's business! Thanks for the new chapter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
JUNE!!!! You are steeling my ideas. I swear you are in my head sometimes. (Not the Weaselette jersey, but you will laugh!) Not two lemons, but one lemon and one very good talk!
Oh, I just love this! Such a good illustration of how love muddles through! On one side of the scale we have Greg and Luna who have things fairly easy. On the other side we have Draco and Ginny who have troubles and misunderstandings galore. And right in the middle we have Hermione and Severus. What an eye-opening description of the beginnings of love! Well done! If you will forgive me a rabid fangirl moment, please update again soon! :)

Thanks so much Pook! You make my night! That is exactly what I wanted to portray. I am working on the next chapter now and am 1/2 way done!
Response from PlaidPooka (Reviewer)
Woo-hoo! Write faster! ;)
I tell you, Christy, you have such a gentle touch with them all that it really takes my breath away. I love that even before they know who their match is, Severus and Hermione are already uncomfortably intrigued with one another. I love that Luna and Greg are so gentle with each other, that Luna still loves Neville but is ready to love again, and that Greg is so sweet and patient with her. Even though Ginny and Draco are off to a fiery start, and Ginny is being a bit of a prat, you still let Ginny be human just as you let Draco get angry but still care for her. Your characters are all made of whole cloth and that is a precious thing to a reader. I love this! :)

Thank you, thank you! I am glad you are enjoying my fic! The way Severus starts to feel about Hermione will be a first for him in a long long time, and the way she feels for him with just be a plain first. I am enjoying Neville and Luna, they have been surprisingly fun to write! Ginny and Draco are a hoot to me! They are both pissed at themselves because they are attracted to the other!
great chapter, only too short ;) can't wait for the next one! :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks

! I promise I will make the next one longer!
Another enjoyable chappie. I just think Luna & Greg are very sweet. I loved how Greg defended her to Snape & Draco. Finally Harry & Ron were also put in their places was just great.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! I am liking Greg/Luna too. They are becoming fun to write! I think it was time Ron and Harry got told! Glad you liked it!
I was very pleased to see an update :) I so look forward to the continuation of this story. thank you for writing
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks medareami! I am glad you are enjoying it!
GO GREG!! I bet he knows the other two are attracted to said witches.
Luna should send her mates a copy of the photos. Maybe even to their partners. Were there pictures of her and Greg?
Snape is being very sneaky... Would be interesting if she thought he wasn't going to show and (A) not be there (B) eatting mac/cheese and hot dogs (C) a bowl of cereal or (D) leftovers from lunch...
Will Hermione's owl refuse to take additional notes to Snape since she was mistreated?
Does one of the Twins have Ginny's name? Are they going to torture Malfoy want it?
About time the "boys" got what was coming for them. I was secretly hoping the wives would hear about it. So glad they did. Lunch with the wives would be interesting. Maybe the 4 can conspire to trap snape and malfoy....
Thank you for a new insightful chapter.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thank you Patty! Didn't think about Luna giving her pals a copy, maybe she will. Colin was mainly taking pictures of the "Heros" so there wasn't one of her and Greg, but maybe she will request one! Not telling you about Snape showing up or not, but I have written that part and I will say you are not too far off the mark...I am glad you liked the boys getting their just desserts! I think it was about time too!
Go Greg! Go Piper & Sam! Yeah!!! It's about time Hermione and Ginny but the boys in their places. It's about time. And Ron still thinks Severus has banged Hermione....oh dear. Wonder if that will come back to haunt Severus. SQUEE!!! Can't wait to see how Severus pisses off Hermione now. And how Ginny is going to taunt Draco for his little kiss at the ball
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! Yes it is about time! More couple interaction in the next chapter! (Which is being worked on now!)
Great stuff I think the boys got of too easily but atleast they might back off noe. I was surrpised to see the intolerance from Malfoy and Snape and while it makes sense you would think that they would have been put in their place by now.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! Yes they will back off. Severus and Draco just think Luna is too odd but I am happy Greg set them straight!
That chapter definately gets and AHHHHH rating. I love how that Greg stood up for his feeling for Luna and that Severus felt afronted on Hermione's behalf. Both Severus and Draco are still a bit clueless, but I would expect nothng less. I am wondering if they are going to love each other before they hear back from the YLC. Can't wait to find out. -- B

Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! I am glad you liked the Greg part. He just likes Luna too much to worry what his mates have to say about her. More coming soon!
It looks like the tide is starting to turn. Good! I can't wait to see what happens next! :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thank you Pook! Yep, the tides they are a changin! ;)
A great chapter, I liked Ron and Harry's wifes standing up to them, and kicking ass.Also liked the interaction with Greg finally standing up to Severus and Draco.Severus is being the snarry so and so we all love which is brilliant. Will be watching for the next update. Best wishes,
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
e! I think it was time Harry and Ron's wives did that. I know I would! I liked the Greg part too, it was my favorite! Working on the next chapter now!
playwizard hooch! Hey, she has a brain!! Besides, Hermione needs to make some moves on Severus - not just hold him over the barrel for potions ingredients. Boy, will she feel bad when she finds out it's for a sick Narcissa.... I hope Mrs Granger's new friend works out; five years is a long time to be a widow. And how dare Severus and Draco try to tell Greg who to date - Luna is a Ravenclaw, she's brilliant!! Oops, you're not matching Lupin with Cissa, are you? Three couples is enough work!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
LOL! Thanks June! I agree, Draco and Severus have some nerve! I am glad Greg didn't listen as he normally would! I had thought about Cissy/Lupin, but you're right, three is enough! LOL
Pats Christy on the head. Lovely. Swats Christy on the arse. Nice. *Wriggles eyebrows*
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
*Looks over shoulder and shakes butt* "Oh Southern, you little you!"
Very intriguing I particually like the Greg and Luna partnership. Ron and Harry are a worry though, I cannot make up my mind if they are both just self centred, or if they truely worry about Hermione and Ginny.The other pairings are always enjoyable. And I have to say I really have enjoyed the first 6 chapters, and look forward to more. Best wishes.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks so much
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
e! I think with Harry and Ron it's a bit of both, but no worries, they get straightened out in the next chapter! Glad you have enjoyed so far!
I personally think all that Greg needs to say to Severus and Draco is that he has accepted the fact that he wants to get to know Luna better and possibly something more, and that if they want to wander around in complete denial about their feeling for Hermione and Ginny then that is their problem. Then turn and walk away. Because lets face it they would be too stunned to reply. Great chapter. -- B
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks B! I already have that part of next chapter written, I hope you will like it! I will tell you one thing, Greg is no pushover!
oh, that's just precious! Luna and Goyle are adorable, and I can't wait to see the continued trials and tribulations of Ginny/Draco and Severus/Hermione
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks so much
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! Glad you are liking it. I wasn't sure about Luna/Goyle, but I am havng fun with them!
Great chappie. Greg & Luna are just so cute together. Draco & Ginny were just great. I also loved how Snape stuck to Ron.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks

! I am happy you liked it! I am enjoying Greg/Luna too! Ron deserved it! LOL
Response from KiraAlexia (Reviewer)
Yeah Ron did deserve. Looking forward to the next chapter.
I agree with Sun...
Way to go Greg and Luna.. Maybe the other 2 couples will take a hint and go with it..
Thanks CC for a wonderful read.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks Patty! I am enjoying Greg and Luna! Other too couples are too stubborn for it to be smooth sailing! LOL
Response from pickles (Reviewer)
When can we expect another wonderful chapter?
hint hint
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
I am writing it now! So, not too much longer!
Response from pickles (Reviewer)
Okay no pressure. As long as your are putting an honest effort for the next chapter.
Make sure Sun had enough chocolate while she is betaing this..
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Of course! I send her a regular supply!
For some reason I really want to see Harry and Ron brought to the realization that they are selfish prats and just to leave our girls alone!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Oh don't worry, they will!
Response from Anijade (Reviewer)
Yay!!! Now I feel better knowing they will get theirs. Loving this story
I wish we could have seen Ron watching Snape and Hermione talk through narrowed eyes... just to give us a little satisfaction. Otherwise, good chapter.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Don't worry! He will at the ball, and he will hate it. Thanks for everything, my dear!
Wonderful dinner that they all had. Poor Ginny, getting called Mummy by Harry's son... whether she's over Harry or not doesn't matter, that still hurts. I loved how Draco kept calling her Virginia... I think that's hillarious. I like how Snape came out and tried to almost reassure Hermione, though she missed the point... she'll get it eventually. They'll be spending plenty of time together. :-) I can't wait for more! ~Gin
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks Ginny! I know, it would have to hurt, especially with James looking like the child she had always pictured she'd have when she was with Harry. More up soon!!! P. S. In the next chapter, she misses it again! LOL But you're right, she'll get it soon enough.
All I can say is that Ginny and Hermione have a hell of a lot more patience than I would have had. I'd have been kicking ass and taking names as far as Ron and Harry were concerned. More soon please.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks a2! The thing is, where Ron and Harry are concerned, Hermione and Ginny are not in love with them like they were. I think it is more the fact that they are alone and pissed that the boys aren't. Like a pride thing. Of course, there is always that pin prick of pain in your heart when someone you loved moves on, but that is all it is. I am almost finished with the next chapter!
