The look she gave him was hauntingly familiar (hours later he would realize it was the same one Uncle Severus constantly used on Potter).

That must've hurt more than the slap!

Loved it.  ^_^  And such a fast update too!

great beginning!  and hints of Potter breakdown in the future.  Oh  I can't wait for more!  I think your Draco is spot on. 

Hee.  I love that Narcissa slapped him.  At least she has some political savvy. 

Hermione's downfall?  You mean she ends up a Malfoy?  One can only hope. 

*squees* 

I like, I like a lot! 

Hope to see more soon.  I can't wait to find out how exactly returning to school led to Hermione's 'downfall'. And how long Draco actually sticks with Pansy...    (This is a DM/HG after all!) 

I remember liking the other fics I read by you too, so I'm looking forward to how this one turns out. 

I HATE CLIFFHANGERS!!!!!! UPDATE!!!lol. Please.

Finally! Progress! 

Looking forward to an update.

aaagh! That was just mean. I can guess what happens next but with those two you just never know. More soon please.

I have just read this story straight through. It is great. I have only read maybe one or two HG/DM stories before giving them up as a bad job, cliched drivel. But not yours. Your dialogue is excellent. I love the plot twists. It has very funny moments. I love the gargoyle. I like how your characters are evolving. I have to say when I read that you were considering giving the story up due to lack of interest, I was distressed. I hope you continue. I like the dance they are doing in more ways than one. This is a fun, funny, charming and lovely story. Another F7 success.Cheers, Kat

well, it was about time. Now what???

Well, it's about time!  I hope they can work this out for real, actually. 

*looks around* Did you forget to post the other half of this chapter, miss?

Haha, you're too cruel!

You can't leave us like this!

Okay, obviously you can.

Wretch.

::pout::

"strangely familiar Granger + pain" LOL! So... they've made it to a littel snogging... wonder where their relationship will go from here?? Hermione, in those last few sentences, didn't seem mad at Draco for the kiss - but with them two, you never know :)

I love this story!  I know you included a comment a few chapters back about not finishing this story, but I, for one, hope you will consider putting more work into it.  I'm a definite HG/DM fan, and a big fan of your story.

Oh you have to finish this! I am so intrigued! You are awesome,Samantha

Oh please don't abandan this story.  Just found it today and read the whole thing and am anxiously waiting for a new chapter.  Curious about the "relationship" between Harry and Snape's wife.  Love the hate/love relationship between Draco and Hermione.  I'm also heartbroken for how lonely Hermione is.  Look foward to reading a happy ending *hint hint*

Just found your story today....I'm not sure how I missed it before. Wow, you really threw some great curveballs in there; I really liked Snape's wife and hope that we find our more about them. I can't wait to see how Hermione and Draco finally find each other. Thanks for making my night so enjoyable.

 Cheers

That's so sad about Severus' wife.  Although he probably kept it a secret at first to protect her, and to keep her from being used against him, eight years is a long time to go keeping something like that a secret and without living with one's spouse.  Unless she wasn't cursed the whole time...    It was good of Draco to ask after her.  Will she be making another appearance?

  Starts making progress, then he blows it up all on his own. *sigh* I wonder who he just confused the most, himself or Hermione. 

About the A/N, I think it worked out just how you planned for it to.    I hope you continue this.  I really want to see what happens next!

It's almost three weeks later, and Draco's still dwelling on what Hermione said at the Ball.  She must've really struck a chord with him.  I'm guessing it's of a 'she was right but for some reason (that he can't verbalize yet) he wishes that she hadn't been' variety.  Maybe he doesn't like the idea of (seriously) fighting he anymore (if he ever did), or he's starting to really doubt the things his father taught him...

The Climbing (especially without magic) was a surprise.  (I'm guessing you're a climber...)  I liked the gargoyle trying to help and then getting its feelings hurt.

And the last part of the conversation with Snape will probably be important later on:

"I'll be all right, Uncle Severus. Really. I just... It's not easy with Dad in prison and I'm not really part of Slytherin anymore..." He was referring to the physical House, but as soon as he said it, Draco's breath caught in his throat, for he suddenly understood that this change went beyond the mere location of his bedroom. Snape eyed him thoughtfully and nodded.

i think you should carry on, at least until something really happens between them. you wouldnt leave the readers hanging like that would you?!im not much of a draco hermione fan but i do really like this story. please continue!and ive never left a review before. so be honoured that i took that first step to try and convince you to keep writting this!

You know, now that you are mentioning not carrying on with this lovely story, I had to go back and reread it just because. 

And I just reread the dance scene, and whatever else happens please follow through on the idea of what upset Draco so much at the end.  They were on opposite sides. I feel his devastation, but I don't understand it yet.

Um, if I'm not making myself clear in all this babbling, you MUST finish this.

Grrrr.

Actually, this is a really good story. You've created a rather complicated and interesting plot, but the chemistry between Draco and Hermione needs to solidify. Their relationship needs to become more tangible. Maybe a conversation? A moment in front of the fire where they reveal themselves to one another? Develop an understanding? I keep reading 'cuz I'm waiting for the 'thing' to happen that brings the story into focus. More please!! :)

I only recently discovered this story and so far I am enchanted by it.  Please don't stop writing it, please! 

He may be nobody's fuck, but he's sure fucked it up for himself!
