Reviews for One Vital Ingredient
Yea, an update! No particular commentary except thanks!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks, G!
I don't know if you could redeem Lucius. For someone who was loyal to his wife he certainly doesn't give much regard to anyone else's. That alone makes me want to hate him. I'm glad the two couples are doing better, I don't think anything will come betweent them, no matter what Lucius has planned, and I loved that bit with Harry and Pansy.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Maybe redeem wasn't the correct word... Perhaps explain is a better one. Yep, it was time to get things back on track for our couples! Glad you liked my HP/PP!
I really like this chapter to death. Hermione and Severus are somewhat resolved in one way or *cough* another. My heart leaped for joy when Ginny and Draco eased in and became comfortable with each other again. And this last section absolutely made me want to somewhat cry. I'm technically a wallflower as well. I keep to myself and I feel like I'm brushed off to the side for others. So this relates to me. I like how you are getting Harry and Pansy's I guess relationship established. I definitely can't wait for your next chapter. : )Cassandra
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much Cass! Yep Hermione and Severus are just fine! Ginny and Draco have also come a long way. I can identify with the wallflowers too. Yep, gonna have more HP/PP!
Nicely done. You did well with the french accented dialogue. I do not have the patience for that sort of thing. *smile*I found it amusing that Ginny's jealousy would be the catalyst to making up with Draco. Who would've thought?? LOL
Am definitely interested in seeing what you do with Lucius. Redeemable? hmmm... This should be good!
The interaction with Hermione and Severus on the dance floor was very good. For supposedly being so smart, she does come off as being incredibly naive about so many things - the way you have Severus "handle" her is just the right touch.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! The French thing was hard for me to do. I just thought how it sounded when the French talk, and gave it a shot. LOL Yeah, I thougt that with Ginny was a touch ironic!Well, Lucius acts the way he does for a reason, so I hope he will be redeemable when you find out what it is! Well, I think with this being her first adult relationship, she would be a little naive. He does have 19 years on her! Glad you liked it!
do you honestly believe that lucius can be redeemed? he seems like an incredible ass to me. i also liked the bit with harry and pansy....would like to see if ron and luna become a couple. a happy ending for everyone ( except lucius ) .... for some reason i just don't like that guy.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Hmm maybe explained? He has been an ass. Glad you enjoyed my Harry and Pansy! Yep. I have to have happy!
oh, I'm liking the Harry/Pansy. Nice twist.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I knew I wanted to pair them somehow, but I didn't have that inspiration of having them dance until the last minute! Glad you enjoyed!
LOVE Harry and Pansy! That's awesome.
Everyone seems to be heading in the right direction now - whew! Good for both Severus and Draco for recognizing the need to be patient. That certainly made a difference.
As always, can't wait for more!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks sshg! Glad you like my HP/PP!Yep, both couples are back on track. Yes, but a lot of it was because they knew they were in the wrong!More up soon!
Flint and Nott got what was coming to them. :) Good for Draco for standing up to his father. I wonder what's going on with ol' Lucius, anyway. I do believe you'll have more for us where he is concerned.
I like how you're showing the slow process of rebuilding trust. Very nicely done!
Lucky for me, I am running behind on reading and there is another chapter for me RIGHT NOW. :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks sshg! Yes, they did! I think that for Draco it would take something as bad as him feeling his wife was threatened to stand up to him.Thanks! I think that especially after being attacked it would have to come gradually.:D I always love it when there is an extra chapter to read!
I loved this chapter!!!! I am impressed on how you manage to make what easily could have led to more misunderstandings become something that solved problems between our two lovly couples (and I was worried there a little while). I also loved the Harry/Pansy interaction, great work. I feel a bit sad for Luna though, Ron can be such a git, Luna is perfect for him (both in this story and in JKR's books), if he only could manage to make two of his braincells to work together. I hope Lucius realise in time that his plans for "great entertainment" for the evening should include nobody but himself and don't destroy anything for Severus and Hermione. Again; a brilliant chapter, very well done!!!!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! In a way, I wanted the girls to realize just how easy it is to become jealous. That made it easier for them to understand. Glad you like my HP/PP! Well, as far as Ron being a git... well, we don't know how he really feels. We only know how Luna thinks he feels. ;-) Lucius will learn a lot of things he didn't know in the next one!
I'm suprised SS didn't drag HS from the room at her declaration.Loved the confident and very agressive Josephine.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Droxy! Yeah, he sould have!Glad you enjoyed my French beauty!
Well this is one chock-full chapter. Lots of little things happening. All of which were very entertaining. Love that both couples are truly beginning to talk and work things out.The time with the Weasley's was too funny. So "them".Harry and Pansy are cute. I definitely like that you've brought them to the table.And then there's Lucius. Hmmmm. I'm a little bit afraid of his "surprises". He's just one big trouble maker. But as I've said before, at least he's "FUN". haha ^.^Great work. Love, love, love it all.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yes, since above all they all want a true and happy marriage, they had to begin to heal and trust again. Glad you liked my Weasley interaction!I like HP/PP every now and again!Lucius surprises were Sophia and her friend, he wanted to offer Severus one. The other was Josephine. ;-)So happy you enjoyed!
Response from Bentwaters (Reviewer)
Ohhhh Josephine was the second surprise. I goofed and thought he had another one that was gonna mess with Severus. My bad. hehe
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL No Problem! Perhaps I should have been more clear!
it's been excellent so far, the reactions especially. I'm liking Lucius. How much more mischief can he get up to?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Oh, he could think of plenty I'm sure!~smirk~
Knowing that our two couples seem to have solve their problems is good. But the last part with Harry and Pansy : that was too good and funny. Hope to read more about them soon.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yes, the couples are good now. I will have HP/PP up next!
Lucius had the plan to bring Josephine into the picture and it really backfired on him and worked out well for D&G ! Good twist ! And I like the Pansy and Harry thing that looks like you moving that down a believable path.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks pagge! Yep, he thought one look at Josephine and Draco would go straight into her arms. He hadn't counted on D loving G! Thanks, I like a bit of HP/PP from time to time!
Lovely Chapie. It's great to the all couples moving forward.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yes, it's time they did so!
~smile~ good work, doll
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you, my dear!
I'm glad for Harry and Ron that they've found some companionship. Enjoyable chapter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! Yep, Ron actually likes Luna a little more than she realizes, and Harry really wants to get to know Pansy.
Another great chapter, now its the girls turn to be in a snit about their husbands, i love it. Harry and Pansy, I like it, diferent, but i like it. Looking forward to the next chapter about Lucius.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Not quite as bad as they were! Ginny knew the deal with Josephine! LOL I like HP/PP at times. More coming soon.
I am glad things are starting to get resolved for ginny and draco, what is lucius up to, I guess he is so lonely after narcissa's death that he is just trying to shag every pretty girl he can find. I enjoyed this chapter very much, I like the way you portrayed everyone in this chapter.And now for your perusal, a few song titles from the eighties that didn't completely suck: Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye 1983Just Like Heaven - The Cure 1988Patience - Guns N Roses 1989I am kidding of course, although I will admit, your taste in 80's music is not what I would call my favorites from that era, lol.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you, wilder! Yep, it was time. If I hadn't wanted them to stay together, it would be different, but they needed to start working on their marriage. He is very lonely and for a good reason. I will explain that next.Well, actually I am not going by my taste as much as the title fits the chapter! I do like your suggestions!
I am so thrilled that you included Pansy in this story. I think she is an overlooked character that can bring so much to fanfictions, whether an author has her good or bad. I especially love it when she ends up with Ron or Harry.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I think that she is overlooked too. Me too! We put Hermione, and in my case, Ginny with Slyterin men, why not put one of them with a Slytherin woman?
I love the Pansy/Harry pairing. Harry understands Slytherin and Pansy, while being compasionate to orphans, won't have to change her monograms on any of her personal items. It works out well for both of them. (That's not a slam on Pansy...I actually know women that think that way!)I appreciate that you are taking time with the main characters to resolve their issues. The dialogue is natural and well developed.My personal opinion is that once Severus has experienced full-fledged sex with a woman carrying his child he will always want Hermione pregnant. Pregnancy sex is the best. Oh well, time to drink more of Malfoy's 150 year hooch!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I like them too, and sometimes I like her with Ron. Right, some do!Thank you. In past fics I feel I have rushed, and I am trying to pace myself!Oh, it will move him. He Loves her and the baby too.
Go, Pansy and Harry! Boo for Lucius... although I'll reserve the brickbats until I see what you do with him next chapter. And where is this Tilden Toots now that Annabelle is his girlfriend? Thanks for the new chapter, and for letting S&H and D&G talk things out.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks June! Glad you like my HP/PP! Yeah, so far Lucius has been a real arse! I think it was time. Especially D/G. She needs to get past that and move on for her marriage to work. As for Tillden, he mingling! He does love his public!
Lucius appears to be vaguely in the region of a clue, finally, though it looks like it may need to beat him over the head repeatedly. It's pleasant to see the two couples moving forward, and the bit with Harry and Pansy is so touching!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks firefly! Yeah, he's starting to get it! Yep, couples out of the woods now. Glad you liked my HP/PP!
Pansy and Harry sitting in a tree... ;) Very nice chapter, hon. :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL You are so silly!
Good job! Looking forward to the next update.
