Reviews for One Vital Ingredient
Misunderstanding indeed!!First - let me thank you for saving the women. I was in a tiff that it was getting worse. The ONLY thing that saved me was knowing he'd muffed up the spell. Nice job!Second - the all-mighty husband brigade came at the most inopportune moment!!! Hopefully, back at the castle, they remember to get the evidence to put the DEs in Azkaban!!!WHOOT for this chapter - and the entire fic. I'm enjoying it.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you Dee! Right--I don't think I could bring myself to really harm them. Glad you liked it!Yes it did. And from where they were standing, it DID look like Ron and Hermione were in an intimate brace and that Harry was about to kiss Ginny! Glad you got it!SO happy you like it so far!
Draco needs some serious punishment for insinuating that Ginny has any control over the morning sickness. Prick. I CANNOT beleive Hermione let Snape get away with bullying her like that. Will they be able to press charges w/o the phyiscal evidence? Snape and Draco need to pull their head out of their asses and listen to their wives. Now you evil cliffhanger author--update soon--

Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yeah, he was horrid! Hermione was in slight shock. They will get the evidence. They won't do it! They never give them the chance to actually EXPLAIN, so they hear it from someone else which will make them feel even worse. I am working on six now, I had some problems of how I wanted to word things.
"Get your head out of your ass" Draco and Severus. The ladies shouldn't have to explain anything.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL They will try to anyway. The men still won't listen!
Honestly, I'm either too cynical or too pragmatic, but what is the use of wasting precious seconds of patience to tell someone 'this is not what it looks like' instead of something like 'we were attacked by Nott and Flint'. The same number of words, two different solutions. Multiple times, at that. I understand though that if a logical Hermione and practical Ginny used that in-character approach, there would be no conflict. And from a literary point of view, you probably need a bit of roughness otherwise this story would have been finished before Malfoy Sr. got his chance of plotting. Therefore, I will be patient and wait for the next chapter to see if they return into their characterisation.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
, you're right. I think that under normal circumstances but they were in shock. I also think they were actually thrown off guard by the anger from their husbands. They weren't expecting to see them, much less for them to be so angry. So what kept going through Hermione and Ginnys minds were 'this is not what it looks like' because it wasn't. True, it would be over too fast without the conflict. (And to be perfectly honest, I like a bit of angst in a fic, so I have it in mine! LOL) I will go ahead and tell you now that by the time they get back to the castle they are very angry and basically end up saying fine--believe what you want. So when they guys find out, it won't be from the girls, which will make it that much worse imho.
Response from nata (Reviewer)
Thanks for replying. I've read through your other reviews in the meantime, and you answered a similar question before (June W's, I guess). I will be looking forward to the next two chapters when Draco and Severus would simmer in their anger. I hope it will come back from your beta soon.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! She is fast. I am still working on the next one. I am actually going to try and let them find out in chapter six if my writing doesn't get away from me. (you know how that is...)
Oh, God, both are utter pricks!
Please, update soon! I want to see the girls giving them hell!
Great work as always. Compliments to both the author and beta!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks from the both of us,
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Here's a little insight on SS and DM!Yep, SS and DM did act like utter pricks, but it was a situation of reacting before you think. Severus was finially willing to start opening up to Hermione, and beginning to more than care for her. He was also starting to trust her which is something he has a hard time doing. Draco already had feelings for Ginny, but now he's in love with her no doubt. He and Harry have always been enemies, and in the back of his mind he wonders if Ginny doesn't still love Harry because she did for so many years. Now, they are walking down the road to go to lunch and suddenly see (what they ASSUME) is their wives, the women they have begun to care so much for, in an intimate embrace with their former flames. They are hurt and angry. Now, this is NOT an excuse for their behavior--it was very bad. It's just an explanation and a little more into why they would feel so betrayed.
Response from MidniteOil (Reviewer)
Thank you for the insight. Yes, you're right. I certainly understand their jealousy but not listening to explanations is just too much. But, well, we're talking about Severus and Draco here so it's understandable. Anyway, I still would like to see them properly chastised!
Well, I really hope to see more of this soon. This story was what kept me going last week, I had a horrid school week.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Oh, no worries, they will be, after Hermione and Ginny get over being mad. When they try to tell them and they won't listen they say fine, think what you want! So, the men DO find out, but not from their wives! Working on the next chapter now! Hope you have a better week!
I think that someone should have just silencioed severus and draco, and maybe a body bind, and then explained things. But then thats just what I would have done if this situation was real....haha! OH Boy, are the husbands going to be ashamed when they find out, i think...great story!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Remember, Hermione and Ginny don't have their wands! And too, if that had happened, then I couldn't have this lovely fight coming up! teehee! Yes, they will feel so bad! Glad you like it!
*Cries* And this is why I don't like uncompleted stories!
This cliffhanger was sooooo mean! Poor Ginny and Hermione, with their hotheaded husbands!!!
You must update soon!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
No worries
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I am woking on the update now! It won't be much longer! Thanks for reading!
Wat bastards, and i dont just mean Nott and Flint. Honestly, they should have let them explain even tho it was a situation in which certain conclusions are easily drawn.
and if i were the girls or harry and ron i would have first yelled "oi you dip shit, i was/they were almost raped here because of you" before snape and malfoy could start their ranting!
anywho you better update like right now or else i may cry...lol

Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Karla! Yeah, they let their temper run away from them, and in the next chapter, Hermione and Ginny will. I am working on the next chapter now and hope to have to my beta by tonight!
Man o' man, I hope those two feel badly when they realize the truth.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! Yep, they will but they will both react differently. ;-)
I agree with Southern. *smacks Severus and Draco upside the heads*
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! The girls will be stubborn...
Both SS and DM deserve a swift kick in the....(name the body part that can most provide exquisite pain) Jeez! How are the girls going to get out of this one? Those two raving, jealous maniacs are not listening. The girls better get their head's on straight and not take this nonsense from their husband's.Great chapter, full of emotion, keeping us on the edge of our seat. Cheers!

! Yep, SS and DM behaved badly, but it was a situation of reacting before you think. Severus was finially willing to start opening up to Hermione, and beginning to more than care for her. He was also starting to trust her which is something he has a hard time doing. Draco already had feelings for Ginny, but now he's in love with her no doubt.

It's just an explanation and a little more into why they would feel so betrayed.HG and GW will be stubborn as well. They won't tell them. They will find out, but not from their wives. And oh, yes, they will feel very very badly, but each have a different reaction. So happy you liked it!
I really can't recall a ff where HG asks SS about his sexual past. I think it's strange, because as tactless as it is, I just think she'll give in to her inquisitive nature at least once.SS and DM will be eating crows- I guess they got spoiled by the 4 months where they didn't have to interact with the rest of the trio.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
You know, I can't either. Maybe I will bring it up again. ;-) Yep, they will! If they had their way, they would never see them again. But that is not realistic.
Wow. SS and DM really need to hear their wives out. I guess they are both insecure when it comes to their wives. Great chapter but I will be happy when this misunderstanding is resolved!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! They do need to but by the time they argue the girls decide to just let them think what they will. They can be stubborn too! ;-) It will be resolved, don't worry!
Wow, two jelous, possesive men unsure of their wives affections. I wonder what will happen when the robes come off?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! You're right, that's exactly what they are! :-) HG and GW will go see Poppy and get healed after they have pictures taken of the injuries, so SS and DM won't see...
Total pricks!Just like a man,lol...I cant wait to read more..I hope they(Draco and Severus)fell like shit once they learn of the truth!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! RIght, they can't see past their pride and jealously right now... but they will! More up soon!
Well I actually find myself disliking severus and draco right now, and that doesn't happen very often believe me. Must be due to the excellent writing as always, I hope the next update is in the works.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks wilder! It is in the works! (But it won't be resolved in the next chapter I think...)
Oh how this just rips hell out of my sense of justice! I hate it when someone won't listen to reason.
Wondering if Snape will think the bruises on neck, shoulder and hip came from Ron! And Draco's comment to Ginny about not pulling the vomiting shite... that's nice of him.
Poor Ginny. Between having her head slammed and hexed to the chest ... makes me worry for her baby. If she miscarries, would that start the curse up again?
And a kidnapping plot! Can't help but wonder how they knew that Ginny would be there. It did seem plotted and planned. Naturally I'm thinking Lucius.
So, when's the next chapter?????
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! That greened eyed monster never does listen! :DSnape wont see them, she will go to Poppy to be healed.Ginny's baby will be fine. :DThey didn't know, that was just a chance meeting that they took advantage of.Working on the next now!
Man, not a pretty end to this. The poor girls for having to deal with not just 2 but 4 "stupid" men! So now we'll be pissy because the guys won't listen. hmmmm just like real life! hahahahGreat stuff. Love it. Can't wait for more.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Oh, they will get their temper when they get alone with their husbands--don't worry! More coming soon!
What an awful ordeal the girls had to go through...
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! Yeah, it was rough.
please don't have those two be asswhole for a lot of chapters. they need to be slapped in the face when they find out what happen.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Well, it won't be more than two I am thinking. I have planned how they will find out the truth, and it's not from their wives;-)
Response from harrypotterfan2005 (Reviewer)
i hope they so bad that they will get on there knees to say they are sorry
Those Slytherin sure knows how to be drama queens.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks spetentrion! Yep, they do!
grrrrr how could Draco and Severus not listen to the wives?! how could they jump to the wrong conclusion ... be interested to see what happens in the next chapter
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Well, think about it. That very morning both couples had just had a conversation about having a real marriage. Draco talked with Ginny about some very personal business, and Severus promised Hermione he was going to with time. Then suddenly, they walk down the street and Draco sees Ginnys face framed by Harry who is leaning in very close (and keep in mind he worries in the back of his mind that Ginny still loves Harry--shes loved him for years). Severus sees Hermione in Ron's arms and hes gently rubbing her back. A lot more than pride was hurt I say... More coming soon!
OH my I hope you have the next chapter ready
Those two are acting like idiots. I know that they can't help but jump to conclusions but seriously..
waiting for more chris
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you P! Not ready yet, but working on it!
Wait, they're supposed to get pictures of the injuries... and frankly, the Aurors - Ron, Harry, Tonks, Thomas, Kingsley - were rather slow to respond to the screaming, and to remove the Notice Me Not spell. And how long would it have taken Ginny and Hermione to just say "we were attacked by Flint and Nott" - that would've silenced their husbands faster than all the "this is not what you seem to be thinking" non-explanations. Grumble... newlyweds and miscommunication! If Ginny and Hermione got their wands back, they could hex their hubbies (Body Bind?) to make them listen. Definitely a Misunderstanding! Thanks for the new chapter.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks June! I love your reviews because they make me think! ;-) Well the reason they were slow is because they had to find it. ((Harry, Ron and Dean are very new)) It was not a perfect Notice Me Not, but it was still a NMN. They did hear it when nobody else did... Ginny and Hermione was in shock I think for one thng, and were basically trying to keep a fight from breaking out. They were surprised too at how upset their husbands were. ((It's gonna get worse before it gets better, but we will learn more of what the husbands are thinking in the next chapter)) Pride--it's one of those seven deadly's, ya know?
*headsmack* jeez, can it get worse?? Why doesn't Draco want Ginny to refer to Hermione as "Madam Snape," when she IS?!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yep afraid it will get worse--but only before it gets better! ;-) Because Draco doesn't really care for Hermione still.
