I didn't notice you'd updated... *sigh* again. Great chapter, and I hope all works out for Peter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks dear! Just for your future reference, I always post here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Potter_Place/when I update! ;-)
this is so sweet and maybe a little too smooth. All is getting too good. something has to happen, something bad like a kidnapping or an argument... I left it up to you *huge grin*
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! So glad you are enjoying it! Not too much more to go now...
i luv this fic,harry and pansy is an unusual pairing but i like it.plz update soon!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! I am glad you're enjoying my story and my HP/PP! More up soon!
You must know how I love updates. Pickles sent this to me, and I usually wait until stories are finished any more because I am to impatiant to wait when I am into a good story, but I started reading dispite my self and got lost in it. Well waiting for another update. Thanks. Bill
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Bill! I have been updating weekly, and am working on the next chapter now! So happy you're enjoying it!
Response from medicdaddy (Reviewer)
It really is not that I am impatient as much as the real world grabs the writer and wisks them away for a small trip to always always land. That way the story is in limbo. Then when it is update I have to reread it to remember important parts to the stories. It is hard to keep them all straight when the real world is always calling me also.Pickles usually has to tell me something has been updated. I really cant wait to see how this story comes out. Thanks . Bill
Yes indeed, tying up very nicely. Keep up the good work. Is this one of the Winter Prompt Response stories?

! This is a response! I read the prompt and the bunny bit me on the butt and I just went with it! Happy you're enjoying it!
More I say! I really love this story! I'm happy that you threw a little HP/PP and LL/RW in here too. I love the plot and all of the characters. Wonderful. Keep going and I'll definitely come back for more. :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! I am so happy you like it! And, my smaller co-couples! More up soon, I try to update weekly!
First, a little niggling bug:
"shagged to him" doesn't make sense. 'Shagged him' would be the way to put it if you had to use the word 'shag'. But it is more for slang usage. I feel "slept with him" or something along those lines would have been more appropriate. But at least get rid of the "to".
Apart from that, fantastic chapter! I'm enjoying seeing more of the orphanage, and in so doing, getting to know Pansy better. Not to mention seeing that glipse of Severus caring for a child he doesn't really even know.
And Hermione and Ginny being that tad bit horny... *snort*... I can see some amusing situations coming about. Like patronuses (can't for the life of me remember if that's the right spelling, *grin*) being sent to Draco and Severus whilst they are teaching... lol.
I'll stop there before I start writing my own story *smile* I look forward to your next update!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks JTBJAG! I put shagged to because I meant to Ron--in Ron's mind--it would only be a shag, not making love as Luna thought of it. Does that make better sense to you?Yep, more of the orphanage up next! Everyone will be there at some point! ;-)I had... situations when I was pregnant--lol--so I put them in here! Oh could you imagine! Come quick! I need you! teeheeMore up soon!
Response from JTBJAB (Reviewer)
Oh the shag makes sense... I got why you used it, although at the same time, it's not a "popular" word for those over 15 *grin* but it was the Shagged to him that was the problem. Shagged him, makes sense. Otherwise it's like 'Fucked to him'If you mean, that to Ron he would call it shagging. Then there should be a comma after Shagged. I think I explained that better this time round *smile* And I look forward to reading the next chapter - having not been pregnant *Grin* I'm enjoying reading about it, lol... but being only 20, I know I've got all that to look forward to.
I love this story, especially Severus and Hermione. I,m also looking forward to more Luna and Ron and as you said , the orphanage.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks sassy! I am so happy you're enjoying it! Orphanage up next!
I giggled when I read that Hermione had unknowingly been apprenticing to Pince all of this time. Rather clever little bit there. :) Very nice chapter, hon.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks much! Glad you liked it, even though it had our Ron and Luna! teehee!
Ohh nice lemony bits spread about. Lemon curd anyone?Funny bit about distracted Husbands and Hermione's attention test.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you much,
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Love my lemon!TeeHee! Glad you enjoyed the distraction!
I always associate Take My Breath Away with Top Gun. I really liked the chapter, and I can't wait to see where you go with it. I like that Ron and Harry have found others that seem to be good for them.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
teehee! Me too,
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! So happy you liked it! I didn't want them to be alone! Thanks for reading!
Well everyone seems to be coming together nicely, with a few bumps here and there of course, I am actually interested in the orphanage story at this point so can't wait for more on that end, the Ron and Luna portion is really not my forte' but it is nice that Ron has a suitable partner too I suppose even if I don't like it, I think it is the Luna character that turns me off, I never have liked her, not even in canon. If only the authors tailored their stories just for me, lol. Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and sayyyy, lalalala. . . I actually like this one for a change.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Take my breath away! LOLI am going to have some on the orphanage next chapter because I will need to tie up things there too. ;-)I like Ron, just not with Hermione. I wanted him to have someone too! teehee!Thanks for reading and I am glad I have at least 2 songs you like! :D
Beautiful! I love this story and where it's going.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much

Ah yes, I remember that very brief period of time during pregnancy when you don't feel like puking and don't yet feel as big as a house. The sensations were fantastic, too bad they go away. May Hermione enjoy it while it lasts. Ginny seems to be having a rougher pregnancy, although she has had to deal with more emotional upheveal than Hermione.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yep I remember it too! ahh, those were the days! She has has a rougher pregnancy and more upheveal too!
Hmm, Lucius could use a charitable activity to keep himself busy, and the orphanage could use help, and Peter could use a male role model... So Charlie and Josie eloped, eh? That could make Weasley family dinners "interesting" when Draco and Ginny have to sit with them. Thanks for the new chapter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks June! I do have plans for the orphanage... ;-) Yep, Charlie took the plunge! teehee! More up soon!
Lots of progress made with this chapter. I wonder if Lucius will find someone; he's not too bad in this fic and deserves a chance. I'm glad your Ingredient characters are still getting along. Thanks for the chapter! Cheers!!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Lyndie! I am undecided about LM just yet, he needs to learn to deal with his wife's death first, I think. Glad you like it!
LOL - I love it when "things" come together, too. Especially when it involves SS & HG. Why do they all find love so confusing? Well, Ron and Luna = Clueless and Cluelesser! But I think they go well together.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL! Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yep, love my SS/HG too! I like the RW/LL pairing. Luna has just always loved him, and he's never returned her feelings, so she just assumes he dates her for the dating in itself. Ron, well, it does take him long to get a clue--teehee--but I like the bloke!
Oh, things do seem to be coming together nicely. Yet another enjoyable chapter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks firefly! Glad you're enjoying!
This must bee one of the best chapters so far, and thats saying quite a bit since I have loved this story from the beginning!!! I loved that you manage to give us some of all our couples, and I have never thought I would say so, but "Well done Ron"!!!! Finally he was able to see what a treassure he has in Luna. Harry and Pancy is brilliant too, I love to see what plans you have for the orphanage and what plans Harry has to help Pancy out. I hope they all will be able to help that poor boy Peter. Both Severus and Harry are comming from abusive homes and should have some insight to what Peter is going through. Great work, brilliantly done, keep up writing I will wait patiently for the next chapter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much,
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I am glad you liked my Ron. I was trying to make him a bit more mature and a bit less self-centered! ;-) I do have plans for the orphanage and for Peter. More coming up on that in the next chapter!
Another great chapter. You are really good at showing the development of the people in your stories, not just main ones, but in this one you are outstanding!!!I can not wait to see how you will bring everyone together at the orphanage, it should be fun, and perhaps a little sad as well. because of Peter.Am looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I have discovered that I enjoy writing about all the different couples! It's challenging and fun as well!The orphange will be in the next chapter, and I have plans there! ;-)More up soon!
When an author of a great story says 'things are tying up nicely' I get a little sad. I am really enjoying this story and anticipating the next chapter. I know when the story is done I can read it as often as I wish, but the anticipation will be gone. If I hadn't said it yet I am in remiss, this story has entertained me very much and I will miss updates when its over.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I am so happy you've enjoyed my fic! I know what you mean, I put of the ending for Reconcilable Differences forever because I hated to see it end! I am so so happy you were entertained by my fic!
Wow, what a chapter! You had me laughing, crying, and biting my nails. My favorite scene was with Ron ~ finally he gets it! Great Job!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I am happy I could bring out so many different emotions! Yep, he finally has a clue!
I agree with Southern ... "WHEEEEE!!!"This was such a great chapter. Ron & Luna were so cute. Their coming together was just sweet as can be.Poor Ginny and her hormones. Draco is handling her well tho. ^.~I like how Hermione got her apprenticeship "unawares". Funny. And her time with Severus was great. How she tried to get his attention - too funny - to how she "REALLY" got his attention - woo HOT!But I guess my favorite this time was Harry & Pansy. One can't blame her too much for "guarding her heart" but she certainly needs to try to get over that instinct. And Harry had a bit of a right to be angry with her over that. But when he burst back in and took her crying body into his arms?? - GUH!!!! So sexy and sweet and caring and all those other words. Now I just can't wait to see what his idea for the orphanage is. ^.^Another wonderful chappie. Thanks so much!!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks BentWaters! Wheee indeed!I enjoy a RW/LL sometimes! Better than Lavender especially!Yeah, Ginny is experiencing so many differnt things! Pregnancy, loving someone other than Harry (her soul mate to boot), jealousy, and of course all the normal worrying that goes along with pregnancy! (not to mention the curse!) LOL He does handle her!LOL I had that library scene planned for a long time! The getting his attention came to me while writing! ;-)I have to admit I am enjoying writing HP/PP! And being a little different, I think. This whole story has been a blast for me!
Oh , look! Almost everyone got some lovin' today! :)
The Luna/Ron you've created is wonderful. I enjoyed their interaction in this chapter, especially how Luna allowed Ron to talk through his feelings on his own. Perfection.
Again, I absolutely love your Harry/Pansy. I still can't believe you have me all atwitter about HARRY! That's really saying something. LOL
And of course, our two main couples appear to be moving along very nicely. I'm so glad to see them so very much in love.
As always, I look forward to what comes next - especially with the orphanage and Harry/Pansy!
I have enjoyed reading all of your stories, but I must admit this one is quickly becoming my favorite out of all of them. Nicely done!

Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yep, they all needed it! Gonna have to hook up HP/PP soon! LOLI wanted a decent Ron this time. I actually like him and I was tired of making him the bad guy all the time. Glad you liked it!TEEHEE I am enjoying HP/PP as well. They are very fun to write for me in this fic!Me too, loving the main couples! ;-)So happy you're enjoying this! I will have the orphanage and some Peter answers up next!
