I love this fic! I do so hope you finish it.

Very interesting idea. I hope you come back to this.

Please update soon. I think this is great!

Great chapter, again!

I'm wondering if Malfoy is coming to Hermione's office and helping with the protection of the woods to please her, or because as a dryad's mate, he feels an urge to protect them, or is it all a convenient plot device?

"because matchmaking is an art, not a science"

I love Ginny's definition of matchmaking, though she seems to have a strange way of doing it, looking for a soul mate in the supermarket!

And I loved your Harry: perceptive, friendly, funny…

"That’s because you know history better than I do." What's not to love?

It's so sad to see Hermione getting hurt every time she gets near anything Malfoy. I can't decide if Malfoy really still believes in the Mudblood drivel, or if he was trying to be kind–as he so subtly pointed out.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

(Oh, and one thing that irked me was calling Molly and "old hag". I know she wasn't nice to Hermione in fourth year, but I still like the character and I find the adjective a little exaggerated. But everyone sees the characters differently!)

I already read the first two chapters of this story a while ago, but didn't leave a review. Now that I've seen you've updated, I'll try to review every one of them.

Your writing is great, and the plot is fascinating. Nice explanation as to why Hermione didn't read everything about dryads. It's so sad to see her give up Malfoy without a fight. I hope one of them wakes up at some point to realize what they are loosing!

Poor Hermione! At four, she already has overly large teeth! (Also, though I can excuse Hermione's language at that age, I find it hard to believe she would roll her eyes at only four, but maybe I haven't been around four year olds long enough).

I'm really excited about this story, great job!

I've always liked the Hermione/Narcissa interactions so I can't wait for the next chapter. Please update as soon as you can!

Excellent writing! I really like the characterizations you've done. Looking forward to the next chapter:)

Your story made me cry. Please update soon.

okay, this one is as much appreciated as its companion piece so to say.
I like the idea of Hermione being a dryad. Could it be that dear Draco already knows or suspects that fate has assigned him to Hermione? He's certainly covering his helpful efforts for her course in a quite wicked manner.

looking forward to updates and remaining "alerted"

I have a cat named shadow too, only this one sounds a bit more adorable xD

Has the potential to be an amazing story, just not enough chapter yet ;).

That being said, thank you for writing it in the first place.

Great start. I can't wait to see what happens when hermione works with Narcissa.

The plot is very original,so far I haven't read anything like it. So it will just broke many shippers heart if you won't continue writing "Fated". Great Job & I hope that you will continue writing it. Or else... haha,just joking. Well I do really hope that you will finish the fic someday!
