I'm still laughing "not negotiating with terrorists" crazy funny...i thin you portrayed everyone pretty well definitely for them to fit into this story... i loved this story! you rock and it rocks...can't wait for the next one ^.^

Wow. I've got to tell you, that is one of the most different Dramione's I've ever read. It's so different seeing Draco as the rational one, and Hermione causing (unintentionally, of course) problems. I'm so glad I got to read this story! Finding something new in an older genre is rare, and exciting when you finally DO find one. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the next story!~Jenn

great story, it made me cry so much but also made me hopeful and inspired. great job and I hope to read more from you soon.

Wow, great beginning, it's so sad and heart-retching and so realistic.

I really liked the way you wrote this story. I was practically in tears and was eager to finish reading the rest, both qualities you want to have in your readers. This is amazing work, it emcompasses the reality, the emotions that comes with divorce, the problems, and ofcourse, in the end, you have shed light and brought hope. This is just marvelous. Congratulations!:)

You've done it again. I love you stories. I can't wait for your next one!

WOW! this is one of the best stories I've read in all my years of reading fanfiction. I couldn't stop raving about it. great job! You're a really a good writer! I hope to read more from you. :D

great writing. but i think the ending could've been better. Great read though. Thanks.

That was... extremely difficult to read. Every time someone would rip apart Hermione's actions into how insincere she is I was reminded of, well, myself. Brutal, definitely...

Hm I'll be honest that I did not like the fact that they got a divorce, but was more upset by the fact that Hermione resigned from her job. From the beginning it seemed as if your intentions were to point out the balance of a relationship and how both parties are causes to the problems. However, when she quit her job the idea of balance was shattered because she was not willing to manager both her job (that she seemed to love), and her marriage. Although her job was overpowering at times, getting that sense of equilibrium between her family life and career would have added to the assumed theme.

The story was written wonderfully, I really enjoyed the reality of it and how it conveyed real-life problems much more thoroughly than most stories. Fantastic job :).

fave part:
“Go buy some owl treats … oh, and some Coco Rocks for Ginny. A reporter made her spill the last bowl this morning. Needless to say, she’s in a bit of a sour mood so duck when you enter through the Floo, okay?”

He blinked. “Duck?”

“She’s in the habit of hexing people who come through.”

Blaise looked amused rather than frightened. “Why not close it?”

“She said something about not negotiating with terrorists, so duck, okay?”

“I can do that.”

Blaise pushed the button to go back to the main floor. The lift opened immediately and just before it closed, Hermione said, “Oh, and for the love of Merlin, ask her out already!” She didn’t get a chance to see the look on his face, but knew it was absolutely priceless.

in all your endeavours in the story, you succeeded quite well. realistic, hopeful, honest, patient Draco, Stubborn Hermione, hope-filled symbolic end.


kudos! beautifully done!

fave part: “Do you take milk in your tea, Mrs. Malfoy?”

She took a moment to gather her wits. “I actually do, thank you very much,” Hermione replied hoarsely and watched as the blonde witch poured some into her teacup. She stirred it politely and said, “You don’t have to call me Mrs. Malfoy, I think I get your point.”

“Oh really, Mrs. Malfoy?”

--

yay! they're together... they are, arent they?

my fave part in this chapter was:
“Malfoy is not taking this in stride.”

That certainly was news to her. “What?”

Harry made a face and straightened his glasses. “Just what I said. I mean,” he ran a hand through his messy hair, “He’s taking this as well as someone who had a divorce dumped on them—”

poor, awesome Draco... hey if hermione doesn't want him, can i get him?

oh, i'm so emotionally invested in this story now... they'd better get back togehter!

poor, poor Draco. I can so see Hermione in me!

i love the emotional depth, the maturity with which you write. There is high emotion, but no melodrama; there is mature reflection, but realistic vulnerability. Oh, i love it!
