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.

Big Smiles. Getting better all the while, doll.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thank you much! For everything!
Great chapter -- great story all the way through actually. I really am enjoying all the couples, but just loved the way Draco came back to Ginny that first night a couple of chapters agos (sorry I didn't tell you at the time). You painted a wonderful picture with Ginny fresh from the bath and Draco wanting to make sure it mattered. I loved his speech right there. Anyway, all the couples fit together nicely -- the instant connection of Greg and Luna, the playful insecurity of Draco and Ginny and even the fumbling steps of Severus and Hermione. Can't wait to see how Molly reacts to Narcissa next. Thanks for sharing, JoAnne
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks JoAnne! I had been working on that Draco/Ginny scene in my mind for awhile--it was hard for me to get it quite the way I wanted. I am so glad you liked it! The couples have been fun to write, but it was hard for me to keep them all romantic but different. More up soon.
I love it. I am so glad that Draco and Ginny got married. It should be very entertaining to see them handle their families. Severus was written completely in character. I can completely see him getting angry at Hermione for something that he would not expect her to be mad at him for. Wonderfully done. -- B
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks B! Oh, the families won't be pleased, each family for different reasons. <BR><BR>Glad you liked my Severus. I had to rewrite that scene to get it the way I wanted it!
Well, I'm relieved that Severus and Hermione cleared up that misunderstanding, but worried now that Narcissa will mess things up. Maybe Draco needs to stop being such a concerned son to that selfish mummy...

Oh, I have plans for the Narcissa/Draco/Ginny meeting! It's probably NOT what you're thinking!

i wish Narcissy would approve of ginny instead of being mad :(
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks Snapes_faerie! Don't worry, I have plans for the Narcissa/Draco/Ginny meeting. She is mad..but.. Well, you'll see!
Great story. Some people do seem to be terribly bothered by others happiness.

! I know, I wonder why that is?
Oh no. I hate when someone ruin a perfectly contintented and camera worthy moment. Hope whoever it is gets smacked down for it. -- B
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks B! I know! No worries...
this chappie was a turning point i wonder if we will see any more gg/ll or if there part is done in it, it feels like this is a different story with this chapter, because the way Hermione and Severus acted and felt they changed and and i really wish they would get on with their letters already, it is so long to wait for it will they recognise their scores together or what will happen?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thank you. There will be a little more gg/ll. Next chapter is the meetings for the rest at the YLC.
I can't wait to see how HG and SS meet up with their matches! Question: will they know the name of the one they are to meet beforehand, or will they just be brought before each other at the meeting site itself? If the latter is the case, I'm willing to bet their reactions will be great! Seriously, though, your story is a lot of fun.

Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! Nope, they won't have a clue! Glad you like it so far!
I'm really enjoying the tale unfolding here. The character interaction has developed exponentially through these 11 chapters and the fact that you have such a huge cast list will make for a veritable feast of literary work! I am a big fan of your work anyway and I would like to take the opportunity to say how impressed I am with all the offerings from your computer. I look forward with baited breath for the next gripping installment of....Dum Dum Daahhhh!!....Reconcilable Differences! LOL

Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
! More coming soon!
*giggle* I take it that Pansy has arrived? Fantabulous chapter, as per usual! Thank you for not making us wait any longer for a little SS/HG yumminess! :)
Response from PlaidPooka (Reviewer)
Ah, I just read the other reviews. Could be Ron I suppose, but my bet is still on Pansy. :D
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
LOL Thanks Pook! Glad you liked it!!! Yep, I have tortured SS/HG long enough--hehehe.Not saying who the voice is!
My bet is on a Weasley or Harry doing the yelling. And I think too it's about time they do something about their YLC letters.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
The Letters are up next chapter--all will find out what is what! Thanks

I am so happy she finally got a proper shag. Let's hope that other good things are in the works for all of them

Sounds like Ron or Harry showed up...too bad..now, when are the meetings going to take place?? How is Draco going to finagle out of Pansy's match? Can you please update again soon???
BTW, just one little thing jumped out at me...the saying is "Don't put the cart before the horse." THat would translate to "Don't put the carriage before the Thestral," not "Don't put the thestral before the carriage."

! THe meetings are in the next chapter--I think I have dragged that out as long as I could! LOL More up soon!
Now I am REALLY stumped about the rich witch's identity. And why is Severus worrying about meeting the "other" witch when he's got Hermione for the weekend???? And Hermione is FINALLY happy in the sack! Slap Severus! He is NOT meeting any "other" witch - tear up that YLC letter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
LOL June! The rich witch is after Draco! Severus wants to meet the YLC match to let her know she needs to move on! No worries there. The meetings will be in the next chapter!
What a wonderful story. I have read all the chapters and I must say it is well written. I really enjoyed this story and looking forward to more.

Wonderful! I can't wait for more. Although, I must say, I really don't like Pansy. It I am correct in assuming it was her at the office, that is. The scene between Ginny and Draco was so sweet. I am looking forward to more of Hermione and Severus. Please update soon!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thank you Jen! More should be on the way soon, I have finished the next chapter and my beta now has it. I have a little twist with the Pansy situation... More of Severus and Hermione up next!
I love this chapter. Ginny does not strike me as the type to regret a decission to be with someone, especially not Draco. I just hope that Draco is smart enough to realise that this mystery woman who is paying to be is exact match is not for him. I am betting that it is Pansy, she is just likely to do something like that. No one in the world is a perfect match for someone else. And who would want them to be, talk about boring. As for Severus and Hermione. I think it was great how you made her come to the realization that she cannot judge all of her future relationships by the one in her past. Severus is not likely to give up something that he wants after he knows it can be his and that kind of possessiveness often leads to devotion. Greg and Luna are another story all together. I can certainly understand how people would see them as moving too fast, but my parent met one evening after going out and got married four months later. And they have been married for 32 years so I tend to see things differently.Great job.B
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks B!No, Ginny won't regret being with Draco. I have another small twist coming in the next chapter with the mystery woman. mahahahah! (A good twist...)Severus really wants her--to the point he has been unable to be with anyone else. Remember Hillary and Celine? He is aggitated that she could do that to him, and that just makes him more determined. He will come to a few realizations for the upcoming weekend. Its funny about your parents. I meet my husband at a wedding in May, we had our fist date in June and was married that same October! Granted, it's only been five years, but we are still going strong! That is why I don't think they are moving too fast either.Glad you enjoyed.Cocoachristy
A great chapter. Greg & Luna are still so sweet together. Draco & Ginny finally gave in. Snape & Hermione are moving along nicely.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of Reconcilable Differences)
Thanks Kira! Glad you like it so far!
I really like Greg and Luna. I am also enjoying the build up in the relationship between Hermione and Severus.A really lovely and enjoyable piece of writing. Thank you.I also apologise for not reviewing regular, I am dyslexic and feel awkward writing text where I cannot check. Best wishes.

! Glad you are enjoying so far!! I never noticed anything wrong with your reviews! But I understand!
I swear Ginny and Draco are like 3rd Graders on the play ground, he dips her pigtails in ink and she pushes him around. Lord if those two every stopped bickering at one another for a minute they probably would not be able to stop from devouring each other in a completely different way. I am so happy to see that Hermione and Severus finally had a actual conversation, but will it stop them from returning the form from the YLC? And what about Greg and Luna? Decisions, decisions... Can't wait for more. -- B
