Well. The couples progress in their. . . well, coupleness.

I hope Severus and Hermione can work out their differences, and of course that they can learn to be happy together.

Ron and Luna! Wow! I never thought their relationship could be so rocky! I think Luna did need some alone time, but then she and Ron definitely need to talk.

Ginny and Oliver are doin' okay, but Harry and Cho. . . Harry's in for it next chapter, I think.

I can't wait!

My SS/HG shipper self SQUEEEES.

Bravo! What a brilliant chapter!!! First of all, I am very happy that Harry and Ginny had their talk. Who would have thougth they would be the first to admit that they were not ment to be? I loved how Oliver watched over Ginny during the game, he migth not know it yet, but he is hooked, lined and sinked:-)) Cho seems to have a thing or ten to tell Harry though, there is no doubt Harry has his work cut out for him and that he will get to learn what passion really is in his conquest to capture Cho:-)Ron is a prat for hurting Luna like this! I don't need to be told that he has loved Hermione for so long and that he didn't wan't Luna in the first place. He is a prat and it is about time he grows up before he looses the one good thing that ever happened to him. He is pushing her away with one hand while holding her back with the other. He has no qualms by telling her that he doesn't want her, but he is not willing to let her go. For the first time he has someone who not only accept him for what he is, but love him as such and tells him so. He knew that there was something wrong in his relationship with Hermione, but is he putting two and two together? No, not Ronald Weasley, he would rather have what he can't get, because that will have greater value, won't it? It is about time he actually took time to really think things through, and to analyze the facts like he would have done in a chess game, hopefully before he is check mate. I am so mad at the Malfoys, I would have loved to roast them above an open fire. I can fully understand why Hermione was hurt and left, but I also find that Severus made a good figure in this situation. There is no doubt that he actually earned a whole lot of respect from Madelaine, all women wants a man who is loyal to them, and stands up for them and by his words Severus proved he was just such a man and that would give him lots of points from most women:-) Not to mention all the points he got from me for going back to Hermione and put his arms around her. If I could have given Slythering housepoints for that, Slytherin would have enough points to keep the House Cup until the presents student's grandchildren started school:-)Update again soon, I am so hooked on this story that it is almost like Christmas when a new chapter is added:-))

Oooh, it seems Ron is finally getting his head out of his ....! Took him long enough.Poor Hermione. At least Severus was man enough to come to her and apologise (Sort of)

Ohh, I wish she had stayed long enough to hear his defense of both her and their marriage.  And then he comes back out to her and even manages an "I'm sorry" (sort of)  that was tops.  Kudos!

Oh wheee!! Another update and so quick too! Yippee!! :D

You know, when I saw there's an update I couldn't wait to read the progress between Hermione and Severus. And lookie, theirs is one half of the chapter! So forgive me, if I skipped the first half and read the SSHG part first. They are independent from the other couples anyway, aren't they? But oooh, I was furious at Lucius and Narcissa and Draco and oh, everybody! for disrupting our newly happy couple. And then I was furious at Severus for saying such thing to Hermione. Good for her for standing up for herself. I thought you're going to leave us like that, both Severus and Hermione misunderstood each other. But oh, you're so kind for letting Severus come back to her and apologize like that... hmm, they're so sweet, aren't they? *dreamy looks* Maybe Severus felt empty and cold when he went to bed alone?

But oh, why was Cho angry with Harry though? I thought she would be embarrassed for accusing Harry being unfaithful to Ginny. But now that it's clear he's single, wouldn't she be relieved that he's available now?

i love this chapter. all of the hubbies are finally getting hooked by their witches, aren't they? i must say, i don't think cho has any right to be angry with harry for not telling her about ginny and him, since she really didn't give him a chance. and oliver caring more about ginny than quidditch! amazing! i'm glad luna is getting tough with ron - he's being such an ass to her. most of all, it's delightful to see the relationship between severus and hermione progressing as he not only realizes he cares for her, but lets himself show it to her!

I liked how Oliver left his post during the *World Cup* game because he was worried about Ginny. Ginny and Oliver are really sweet to each other. I can't wait too see Harry and Cho interact after that dramatic scene in the box. And Luna rocks for standing up to Ron and asserting herself. I look forward to seeing Luna get what she deserves from Ron. Great chapter!

Severus scores points for coming after Hermione!  Ron gets negative points (again, and again, and again) for being a git.  Oliver gets points for coing after Ginny AND helping to win the game.  I hope Cho heard the arguments, since Harry and Ginny were loud enough.  Thanks for the great chapter!

I hope Severus offers up more of an explanation than that. Hermione was completely justified. Though it is refreshing to see that Madeleine was understanding about the entire situation. Not every pure-blood is rude and nasty, as Madeleine is demonstrating.

I am so glad that Luna stood up to Ron. He may be holding himself back in fear of getting hurt again, but his actions are causing Luna just as much pain.

And Cho needs to open her ears. How could she not have noticed Oliver calling Ginny his wife, not Harry's?

So sweet - Hermione and Severus.  Cho got an earful - I hope their relationship moves forward.  It looks like Ginny and Oliverare ok...  That leaves Ron and Luna.  Hmmm are they going to be the holdouts for falling in love?  I'm a sap - I just want to see everyone happy.  Great story - update soon!

Well all three couples are making their way forward in their own ways.
Ginny and Oliver - Oliver coming to his wife's rescue- showing her concern.
Luna and Ronald - Ronald admits to himself the he has feelings but not sure what he is going to do about them.
Severus and Hermione - Severus wrapping his arms around his wife after a fight and telling her he was sorry.
Good way to slowing let them come together. Like the chapter.

Well, it seems our favorite couple are settling in quite nicely......Wow what a morning wake up. :)

Dang, just when it was getting good. ;)

Poor Hermione. I look forward to the next chapter.

Those feelings aren't letting them get away, are they?  I hope the Malfoys get a bit of their own back. 

Good chapter, I loved the way Hermione is showing Severus that he is a social idiot.  I'm glad he is finally seeing things a little frome her P.O.V.

I loved this chapter, but I found one error. Instead of wandering your had wondering. Wondering won't get you from one side of the room to the other, but wandering will. Other than that superb.

Good chapter!  Everyone is fighting, but Ginny and Oliver,  the couple that surprized me most at the beginning, is not fighting with each other.  Hermione needs to learn:  "Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see."  In fact, that's a good lesson for Ron and maybe for us all.

I would say that more than one feeling are going around here or more exactly getting out of the closet -oups, cauldron. Very well done, especially the longer part with our golden couple.

This is a very good story, and I can't wait for the next chapter!  The Ginny/Oliver pairing is interesting; it's not one I would have thought of, but I'm liking it very much.

I'm really enjoying this story. The couples are delightful. Great job

lalalala ferret boy just cant keep his mouth shutbeautiful chapter my dear as usuali loved how you showed the snapes commign together it was brillaint

Very good chapter, there is a lot to process. I was very disappointed with both Hermione and Severus. Rash words and actions only make a situation worse.

It will be interesting to see what Cho thinks of everything she witnessed, to see if Ron will EVER get over being a prat, and oh dear, poor Hermione!
