Ah, bless him! Love the story, the technical stuff is really good, you must've put a lot of work into it.It's nice and refreshing to read a fic like this, I don't generally go in for murder mysteries, but I'm really enjoying this one, it makes a nice change from the usual!

Response from bound_by_passion (Author of The Waiting Game)

I'm afraid of getting a little too technical. I do tend to get a bit carried away. Thank you. I'm glad your enjoying it so far. Most of the books I read are eather fantasy or murder mystery, and I've always wanted totry and combine them. Thankyou for your lovely review.

ah.... if only.... can't wait for the next chapter :) love all the technical stuff! i wish i could write like you :)

Response from bound_by_passion (Author of The Waiting Game)

Well, I've got thwe first draft of chapter 3 done, and I 've sent it off to x_weasley to see what she thinks. If all goes well, it should be in the queue for validation in a couple of days. I'm glad you're enjoying it. And thank you for your lovely review. It gets more technical in the next chapter... heheAnd btw, I wish I could right like you. You are an excellent writer in all genres. I can't write fluff for toffee.

Muahahahahah... just a great 1st chapter! you must continue this :) i like this storyline... it's kinda like combining CSI with Harry Potter ~! hmm... is it true that guys would want something more if they know another guy also wants that thing?

Response from bound_by_passion (Author of The Waiting Game)

I used to be part of the CSI fandom before I became involved with HP. And this was a case I originally planned for that fandom. Well, from my experience, if a guy wants something, sometimes he just needs a little competition to go out and get it. Do we really know Draco's motives?I'm glad you r enjoying it so far. Thank you for your review.:)

Very much looking forward to seeing more of this!

Response from bound_by_passion (Author of The Waiting Game)

And you shall soon. I've got the first draft of the third chapter done, so it shouldn't be too long now. I'm glad you're enjoying it enough to want more. Thank you for your lovely review. :)

Another great chapter!  I love how technical your descriptions of the crime scene and the processing of evidence are.  It all seems very well reasearched.  I can't wait for more!

Response from bound_by_passion (Author of The Waiting Game)

Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. I do so love being technical. However, I have to tone it down a bit as I do tend ot get a bit carried away...I've got the first draft of the third chapter done, so it shouldn't be long now. Thank you for your lovely review. :)

I am really enjoying this!  I love Luna - she's perfect in that role. 

So now we know who the victim is, and Severus already expects to be rejected by Hermione.  Somehow, I think he's wrong.  ;)

Can't wait for more! 

Response from bound_by_passion (Author of The Waiting Game)

Ahhh, you know me far too well, my dear. I'm a HG/SS shipper through and through. You'll have to thank x_weasley for Luna. I was originally going to make it Cho, but she suggested Luna and helped with cannonisation. I really don't know what I'd do without her. You won't have to wait that long as I already have the first draft of the third chapter done. I'm glad you're still enjoying it. And thank you for your lovely review. :)

You are doing a very good job on the mystery.  Looking very good overall.

Response from bound_by_passion (Author of The Waiting Game)

Thank you. I'm glad you think so. I'm just hoping the next chapter will not dissapoint...Thank you for your review. :)
