Reviews for One Vital Ingredient
Ack! How awful! I agree with Southern - Harry & Ron should have kicked their scrawny, Slytherin arses.
Can't wait to see what happens next - there should be lots of groveling. LOTS of groveling.
:)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks sshg! Yep, this isn't the last they hear from Harry and Ron! Groveling coming up in about two chapters!
Misunderstanding has to be the greatest possible understatement! I wonder how long it will take Draco and Severus to shut up and listen.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Well, by the time they get back to the castle, Ginny and Hermione will have worked themselves up from shock and upset to plain mad about the situation, so of course an argument in unavoidable! ;-) I say about two chapters, and when they learn the truth, it's not going to be from their wives... ((Or Ron and Harry for that matter))

::pictures Tonks dope-slapping them both::
However it plays out, I look forward to it.
~shakes fist~I know you'd better write the next one quickly. :)
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
**Hides from SW!**Starting it tonight!!
Oh, my son is such a jealous boy. That Potter always brings out the worst in him!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Yes, that's true! :) Thanks for the review!
Wonderfully written chapter......*lust puddle*I'm quite intrigued as to who is plotting after Ginny. And will the plot grow to encompass Hermione, too? With the way things are between the couples now, I can't wait to see how our Slytherins react. Could be telling in more ways that one....
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks Mistress!Well, they didn't know about Hermione being married to Snape when they started...
Can't remember if I reviewed. Too lazy to look. LOL I'm looking forward to the next bit. Send it along soon, dear.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks, my dear! I will send directly... just a bit more to go!

~checks inbox and sees nothing~ Hmmmm
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
LOL after being up all night at the hospital, I did't feel like writing and finishing the chapter.... I will tonight though!
I LOVED the scene between Severus & Hermione. So sweet and yet so "them". Draco and Ginny were cute too. I guess I just love that they're all opening up to each other.The two former Death Eaters have my curiosity piqued. Can't wait to see where you take us from here. ^.^
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! Glad you like the budding relationships! More up soon!
I thought for sure you would title this Sexual Healing by Marvin Gay. So many good songs from the 80s. Who was speaking in the end? Was it Crabe & Goyle or am I being too obvious?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Too bad I didn't think of that title! *snerk!* Not Crabbe and Goyle, but a good guess!
Nice! Nice! This change in their feelings is a little abrupt but I suppose it should be attributed to the "soul mate thing". Loved the chapter, keep 'em coming!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Glad you enjoyed! Well, it is kind of fast I suppose, but they have been living together one week. They aren't "in love' yet, although Draco had feelings for Ginny before all this happened. Being Soul Mates just makes it easier to be together... You know?
I didn't see this coming. Oh, poor Draco and Ginny. So, does the spell have anything to do with the couples having a terrible need for each other, or is that just the soul mate thing? Inquiring minds want to know.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Glad I could surprise you! I think that the couples just found the one they are supposed to be with thanks to being with their soul mate and that makes loving, wanting and needing easier.
Brilliant, I have fallen completley in love with your story! This chapter, so soon after the last one was icing on the cake. I love the way you present our couples in your story. I was half expecting the usual arguing, fighting, denial, namecalling etc for most of the chapters for then finally the realisation that they love eachother in the last chapter followed by an epilogue where we see them "riding into the sunset". I am so glad I was wrong!! I so enjoy the way you let our couples handle this situation, they might not be in love yet, but they respect eachother and not at least they talk to eachother. They are all trying to make the best out of a situation none of them can change, just as mature people would do. I am forever grateful to you for giving us this fic. I do hope that the two DeathEaters wont get to harm Ginny, violating her the way they plan to do might be a to hard a blow to her marriage and not at least it could hurt her baby. Keep up the good work!!!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I am so glad you like it! Glad I managed to do the unexpected! More up on the Death Eaters soon, so you won't have long to wait for that. I do have a twist there...
Oh my. I wonder who the two kidnappers-to-be are! I look forward to seeing what happens next!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks firefly! More on the kidnappers next chapter--which is coming soon!
With the way our couples are working out (pun intended), the curse will be history in no time.
Oh, no! the sinister two sound like Crabbe & Goyle. . . . this gets better and better.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yep, working out indeed! Not Crabbe & Goyle, but a good guess!
Good to see the couples are getting along and starting to really "enjoy" each other. There is nothing like making love to the person you are in love with. And who the hell is that planning to kidnap and rape Ginny? Feel sorry for their asses when the guys ( Draco, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Severus ) catch them.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I agree with you, there is nothing like that! More on the kidnappers in the next chapter!
I was waiting for that for a while and I'm certainly not dispointed. After reading the beginning I began wondering where all this could go : it seemed perfect in a perfect world. But then came the last part and the mystery and the promise of action very soon. Too good. Just a technical question : that story is in my favourites, I mark every chapter as read, I made reviews, but I odn't receive mail for any updates. Do you know why?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thank you
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Glad you enjoyed the chatper! If you know me, you know there has to be angst somewhere in my fic! For the technical, you have to click the add story to favorites button to receive the emails... (I checked to make sure and you name is not in the favorites list)
This is one of those stories that really gets me excited when I see an update! You are doing a really fine job, especially with respect to describing how the couples are gradually developing their relationships. Thanks for the update!
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! I am so happy you like my story! More up soon!
I've enjoyed how the couples get nearer, and shivered at the plot that is threateing Ginny. Will Lucius Malfoy help his daughter-in-law?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks seotentrion! I wanted to show them getting closer before this next part. No, it won't be Lucius!
Ah, the difference between love and lust. I'm glad Severus and Hermione have worked out (so to speak) their intimacy issues. It seems Ginny is finally opening herself up to having a real relationship with Draco. Creepy at the end not knowing who's plotting.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks! Yep, things are moving right along! You will find out the plotters in the next chapter! ;-)
The couples seem to be getting along better now, but who are the two Death Eaters at the end? They seem to be young, maybe Draco's age or so... hmm? Who could they be?
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
! Yes, they are getting along well!Who indeed!
Response from mmesnape (Reviewer)
How very wicked! Staying tuned for the next chapter... that last cliffie has me quite intrigued now. I'll try to be patient like a good reader should be.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Working on that now... Like a good little author!
Good Grief ! I actually chuckled out loud at the Lucius thought, "Oh, for Merlin’s sake! How was he supposed to remember every little thing he’d done? Really! “seems every bit in character, doesn't he? Very nice job so far on all the characters.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks pagge! I could just see him thinking that!So glad you like it!
I'm so happy with this chapter. It does look like some rough times ahead. Nice job
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks so much sassy! Yep, there are, but not what you think! muaahahah!
wonderful chapter.
i'm glad the men are making an effort by telling their women the truth about their feelings.
is the soul mate thing causing more of a attraction.
off to sweet dreams.
thank you for a neat story.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks P!Draco, he already is very close to being in love with Ginny. Severus has deep feelings so far...The soul mate thing just means they are with the person they are supposed to be with, so that makes attraction and even getting along much easier. Glad you're enjoying it!
*snickers* you think snape/malfoy. the good ole days. yikes! wonder how hermione is going to get him on that one. i can see snape asking draco "Why didn't you mention your father was home and wanted to visit before he arrives?"
lol
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
~snerk~ Oh, she will question that--her brain won't be able to go on without the answers. As for Draco, well he liked the surprise factor!
Oh no! I hope Draco can save Ginny. I just wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying this story. I love your writing style. I wish I had a way with words so I could better tell you how I feel about your story.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Thanks barbie! Don't worry about Ginny--she's tuff! I am so happy you liked the story, and you did great with the words!
Hmmm. So are they only going after Ginny because they don't know that Snape got married too and has a wife they can kidnap also? I'm waiting.
Response from cocoachristy (Author of One Vital Ingredient)
Right in one!
