One word: Damn.

No, really. I have spent pretty much ALL DAY reading this (hear that? That's the sound of my grades slowly plummeting... yep, there it goes) and it was bloody FANTASTIC. I mean, it was just the PERFECT combination, y'know? It had the snark between Draco and Hermione, their falling for each other was perfectly in character and I think you mentioned that it was "drawn out", but, heck, they've been in-hate with each other for six years; they're not about to do a total 180 overnight! I love the fluff when they finally got together -- because you know Draco would be a total snogaholic -- and guh, that break-up scene seriously just BROKE MY HEART. You were describing some dark shape beneath his shirt-sleeves and I was just, "NO, NO, NO DRACO YOU DID NOT JUST DO WHAT I THINK YOU DID"

I know I'm rambling -- but gotta say, I loved Draco's leg fetish. Haha. And the description of their scents was just really, really pretty.

AND NOW YOU LEFT IT LIKE THAT AND I HAVE TO STUDY AT SOME POINT SO I REALLY CAN'T START THE SEQUEL RIGHT NOW... but at any rate this is seriously just... the best D/Hr fic I've read so far. Thanks for sharing :D

Haha! I got this image of Chibi-Voldemort popping up out of a worm-hole, going 'Bleh!', Avada-ing Hermione, and dissapearing. *Evil Witch cackle* <- I do that alot.

One, nit-picking thing is it would be BONFIRE NIGHT not the forth of July, I hate it when people americanise UK stories.

Wow, great job! This was very well written and I really appreciate the thought and planning that went into the story. Though, some parts were a little boring, I thoroughly enjoyed myself while reading this. (:
Okay, even though I'm flying off tomorrow and have yet to start packing, I shall start on the sequel now!

Oh btw, I put of reading this story for a long time because I hated the summary. Sorry. And after reading this, I think the essence that the summary conveys is totally different with regards to the latter part of Basketcase (same for the humour tag).

Just my 2 cents. Haha.

You're a great writer, your writing shows a lot of depth!

Wow you sure know how to make a story exciting! And to drag it out a long way ., sorry but at a lot of times it was downright boring,. but in the end I can see why you did it this way. Wow that ending... I haven't seen if you have a sequel yet but you better have !

i absolutely love your story and the break up thing was great don't worry about that. I was listening fix you while i read it and i just couldn't stop crying it was so sad and even more 'cause not exactly that but something like it happened to me the part of "I DON'T LOVE YOU" i really think you did a great job

the whole scene with the owls i found absolutely hilarious!!
i was laughing all the way through it
blimey, your hermione is absolutely raving bonkers isnt she!

m... let me see...

okay, first off, Hermione's been though lot, but she sure was kind of a jerk to Ron, but then again, I'm pretty sure they'll make up (like always). She seems so alone right now.

Anyways, I love how you write Draco (realistically [or maybe I just love Draco...]). I love it when he's just longing for Hermione, while calling her mudblood and insulting her at the same time. Quite humorous. So Malfoy. :)

Harry's sweet, as always ;) love him ;D Ron's so dimwitted sometimes, but in a good way, I find it a bit adorable really ^.^

I like how you characterize all the characters, though I'd like to see some more in Ron (though you did say you weren't too fond of him...), but, whatever.

All in all, it was very good ;)

Ah... The sweet payoff of patience:) This was always a great story, but bloody hell! That was simple fantastic! (and not just because of the kiss scene.) Must you keep reminding me what a wonderful author you are? Well, I applaud this chapter. I actually applaud it. *clap clap clap*. *clap*...*clap*. Okay. I'm done :)

hm... very good, did not like what ginny did though. She was just trying to help, but i swear to god if i was hermione i'd probably never talk to her again. But it was a very good step in the right direction ;) so ill be glad im not hermione right now

Okay, so ive been reading this story, and i must say, it is indeed fabulous:) No doubt, it has taken a while (still is). it's been 13 chapters ad theyve bareky felt a thing, but its part if why i like your story. It's realistic, i mean, the real hermione and draco would never in a million years fall for each other so easily, as in like, 2 chapters (unless u meant it to be that way or something) and they are very in character:) Though i do hope to see some more relationship development soon, but hey, u cant rush genius ;P

oh.my.god. That build up. The anticipation. I was positively quivering. I've staved off of reviewing until now (despite the glowing words I have for your writing), but no longer could I not express how possitively enchanted I am. I was never a Hermione/Draco shipper until you pried my eyes open with a gleaming and polished set of incomperable instruments. However, your shit is so exqusite that reading any other fic in this field would seem ridiculous. Good god. I don't even have anymore glimmerings of wonderful things to say. The long, verbose paragraphs of descriptions detract none at all- only enhancing the anticipation until it's like pregnant belly pulled to the full taughtness possible. I can't wait to put off reading (or doing) anything else. So good.

This chapter was amazing now i'm off to see more about the sequel :D

The chapter was fantastic though when it came to the break up scene i felt so sad really i didn't want Hermione and Draco to break up but well all in all the chapter was amazingly written :DD

The chapter was awesome i like the affrontment between Hermione and this sadistic Snape

Wow the chapter was great oh my such a suspense wow you're talented!!
