Reviews for One Vital Ingredient
Yet another great chapter. I get such a great visual from your words. I cant wait for the party, it should be very interesting.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much Just Harry! I think you will enjoy the party! ;-)
Thank you Christy for another great story! Hermione is too smart not to realize that being polite for an undetermined time is enough punishment for Sev.Note to Southern: At the Malfoy party go down the first hall, third door on the left is the liquor vault. Avoid the top shelf (that's where he keeps the cheap stuff). Press the fourth bottle on the bottom shelf and you'll get the 150 year old supply.....save some for the rest of us.

Thanks

! They were both tip-toeing around the other, wanting to keep the piece, and it was driving them crazy! *Puts hands on hips and taps foot* And just how do YOU know where his 150 year old supply is? I thought I was the only Muggle he devuldged that info to! HUMPH!
There's nothing better than vigillante justice! I love how complex the relationships are. You do a great job of illustrating the myriad of ways in which people express their emotions. Great chapter.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Gwenog! Me too, and they deserved it, plus SS and DM needed to do it.I am glad you're enjoying both couples!
A wonderful chapter and story!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much! I am so glad you like it!
And back to songs that suck, lol. I am so excited all the updates to my favorite WIP are coming in this week. You must be very very busy. But you have made me (and surely many others) happy with the updates. I loved this chapter very believable hg/ss, heck you even had me wanting to read the parts that weren't about hg/ss, must be the mark of a good author. Poor Draco, maybe Ginny should see a muggle therapist so that she can move on even though it would probably take longer in the real world. Can't wait for more! Deanna

:-) See, now I like Asia! "It was the heat of the moment, telling me what my heart meant! The heat of the moment showed in your eyes!"I thought that was apt. lolI am busy. Mainly because for some reason this story is flowing for me, and I want to get it written. I am enjoying every minute of it! Glad I could cause you to want to read other couples! (and parts)Ginny and Draco will work through things in the next chapter.More coming soon, I am almost finished with chapter 9.
Screw St. Mungo's, just haul those two off to Azkaban!
Erm, I mean, great chapter! I love seeing Hermione and Severus tap-dancing around each other. One of their tempers has to break soon. Good for Draco standing up to Lucius like that. I hope Ginny's able to let him in soon, too. She probably feels very alone and under siege right now.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Heck yeah, firefly! I'm with you.Teehee Glad you liked it. You will see SS/Hg and DM/GW working through more things in the next chapter. Yep, Draco needed to.
Very good Coca, I think you did a very good nightmare sequence with Hermione, and the after effects are realistic without being overwhelming. Have you studied up on post tramatic stress disorders? Very good job.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
!I am glad you liked the Hermione dream part. I haven't studied on it, just going with my own instincts and how I think I would be affected.
Response from sinbad (Reviewer)
As I said before if you need some one with first hand knowledge, let me know. great job.
Can't wait for the next chapter. I loved every part of this story especially the beating up flint and nott. Hope some relationship problems are sorted soon.: )Cassandra *SEVARIGER*
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Glad you liked the end of this chapter! Yep, they are well on their way. G/D make up next chapter!
Awww! It's working out! At least Hermione knows why Severus did what he did... but I hope she still makes him work for her forgiveness! *grin*
I feel sorry for Draco and Ginny, they were getting on so well together *sigh* I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that all works out well!
I look forward to the next chapter!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Right, she worked it through. ;-)Ginny will see the light in about 2 chapters...Sun has the next chapter now. But she does them in the order she gets them so I don't know where I am in line!
I was so excited to find your story updated through WIKTT. This was a wonderful chapter and I do hope Draco and Ginny get back together soon and both couples work through their problems. : )Cassandra *

Thanks! I am so glad you're enjoying it! Don't worry, I have plans for Draco and Ginny! More soon!
I love the maturity that Hermione exhibits when she speaks with Severus. Relationships are so hard...it's any wonder any of us get by at all. :) Another wonderful chapter.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Jade! They are hard! So glad you liked it!
I knew Hermione was a smart girland would know what to do, but poor Ginny! She needs some serious help!
I love that interaction between Severus and Hermione. (They're in LOOOOOOVE! haha)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Ginny will be ok, she's just been though a lot right at the same time. Yep! SS/HG are in love! Thanks for reading!
Thanks for not making Severus suffer too long; I hate suspense. I like to think that Hermione will make a lot of allowances for Severus over time, realizing that she's basically a lot more emotionally healthy and knows how to feel secure in a relationship. Your Draco is more appealing than he usually is to me, so I'll wish him good luck as well. Thanks for your work!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! I know that some think he didn't suffer enough, but I wanted to show that by not listening they were being the same way. Even though she did get mad and start to walk away again, she's human, she did hear him out. By doing so, she got some insite she likely wouldn't have. Draco will find a way--never fear!
Great chapter--I quite enjoyed the grovelling. I'm glad that Hermione and Severus are getting back to good...and I am looking forward to seeing Ginny and Draco eventually head in that same direction.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yep, Draco and Ginny will be the next chapter!
"Draco will have to work a bit to regain some trust."...ooooh, now there's an understatement if there ever was one! It's not too hard to see that in canon, Ginny can have quite a temper when she lets fly! I wouldn't want to be in his (no doubt custom-made) shoes right now. I can almost hear it as we speak..."I said CRAWL, like the snake you are!"
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
HA HA HA! Yes, Ginny is an emotional creature I think. Don't worry, I have something planned for these two, although I don't think it's what you'd expect...
Great job! I am glad that at least SS and HG are talking. DM will have to work for it! I love the fact that SS didn't feel half as much for Lily as h does for HG.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yep, Draco's not having it so lucky! Of course not--SS/HG are my fave! ;-)
i want to say i agree with deemichelle that is hermione is very mature a lot more than what severus was being. she could have just stayed in bed. true she was hurt by severus but she did not let it get to her enough where she was going pout about it. me i do not like someone that is going to go into a room after a fight and crawl into bed and pout like a child and not want to talk to you. true you need a few mins or more aways from each other but then you talk like adult care for each other. i tryed dating a man that did that i yell at him a little and he went and pouted like a child needless to say am not with him anymore. i could have been like severus and let what herman did to me get to me and not really giving scott a chance but i did. and he turned out to be very inmature.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks L! Yes, Hermione is mature. Severus was in self-protection mode. He wasn't pouting exactly about things, he thought he was protecting himself from hurt and rejection. He was wrong, and in the end, admitted it. Don't let thoughts of Herman depress you--he's not worth it.
Response from harrypotterfan2005 (Reviewer)
like i said i could have let what herman did to me get to where i would not have try and dated again but i did not and scott turned out to very inmature
I hope Gin and Draco make some progress in the next chapter.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks for reading! Don't worry--I have plans for Draco and Ginny--good plans!
Hermione is much more of a sweet soul. Ginny is a redheaded stubborn girl. But I am looking forward to seeing how this goes.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! Yep--Hermione logical and practical!Ginny--emotional and spur of the moment!More up soon!
:D Good to see such a confession, but such a bad circumstance for it.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Droxy! Yeah, it's sad it took something like this to get him to open up, though I think he would have in his own time.
You know, neither gal really seems the shrinking violet type to me. After surviving a brutal attack only to be accused by their respective mates - I'd have apparated directly off and let them stew in their idiocy.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! You're right, they're not. We'll see that in the next chapter--I think you'll appreciate what Ginny does! :-)
You're so so so so eeeeebil! I need to know what'll happen next! Brilliant story!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much! I just sent the next chapter off to Sun! Won't be long now!
Oh, I don't think Hermione and Ginny should leave it at that. They should MAKE their husbands hear that their wives have been attacked, and the husbands have FAILED in their duty to protect them. I'm so bloody angry at these two men right now! :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Oh, don't worry, they won't leave it there. But when they try to explain the men still won't listen, so they actually find out by someone other than their wives. Trust me, they will be ashamed.
Wow Severus and Draco better to a lot of groveling to make up for this. Poor Hermione and Ginny to get attacked and then have your husbands come and be a$$holes. Update soon.:)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)

Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Don't worry, they will, but not in the next chapter. They aren't finished being assholes...
I agree with SW69. This is complety amazing and crazy and I adore it. THanks for it
