“Hermione froze as she quickly scanned the sheet, her hand flying to her mouth. It was her. Tears sprang unbidden to the corners of her eyes.”—SHEDIDITSHEDIDITSHEDIDIT!

“With that the man took his leave and Hermione fought back a squeal of excitement.”—WHY FIGHT IT? Enjoy it, girl!

"Astoria wants to meet you for dinner tonight."—INTERESTING!

Sweet thing to say this: "The war's long over. More like, International Quidditch Star Shares Alcoholic Beverage with St. Mungo's Newest Senior Healer."

THIS EXCHANGE! Astoria said. "If you aren't ready after all this time –"
"With her," he clarified.
Hermione felt like she'd been hit by a Bludger.”—oh me too, Hermione! "She's so... good," he explained. "I don't mean to hold her back. I keep asking myself, how can I expect her to ever completely forget what I –"—WHEWWWWWW!

I’m so interested in her work and research! Glad you are including this!

UGHHHHHH RONNNNNNNNNNN *glaring daggers*
“She inhaled his familiar woodsy scent, feeling as if she could stay in his arms forever.”

Awww, the game! And that precious precious hallway kiss and this: “The last conscious thought that passed her mind was that she could get used to this.” :):):):)

This was such a dad moment, and I loved it!—"Take these," she said softly. "Does it still hurt?"
"Nah," he said, winking at Scorpius who giggled.”

“Hermione shook her head, but inwardly smiled. It was nice to see him in good spirits; he could be far too melancholy some days.”—you’re so in trouble...”"I think so," Hermione whispered, verbalizing for the first time her fears that maybe she did like him, just a little.”—HA! And you just confirmed it, too!

“She felt something else, too, some sort of emotion that would have brought her to tears had she thought too long on it.”—awww :( don’t cry Hermione, just a few more chapters!

“After a moments' hesitation, he lifted a hand, wiping a tear from her cheek. He stared at her, his expression unreadable. Then he kissed her, a soft kiss to the lips, briefly before he pulled back.”—AWWWWWWWWWWWWW! *giggles and smiles*
...
...
...
"Oh, here's my princess," he murmured, a lazy smile slipping over his features, his eyes glazed. Hermione's eyes widened in surprise.”—THIS MAKES ME GIGGLE! Who cares that she was just trying so hard to be professional and clinical about it all? He just called her his princess! Lol! And THEN: "You're the healer neighbour." It wasn't a question. Hermione stared at Carrington, taken aback.”—teehee! Another giggle!

"Good luck stopping me," he murmured but there was no malice in his tone. He grinned tiredly, his eyes fluttering. Then he winced again, clearly feeling the pain of the healing process.
"Sleep," she reminded him.
He reached for her hand and Hermione acquiesced. He entwined his fingers with hers, his expression thoughtful.”—HAPPY AND CONTENTED SIGH!

Warning bells at this: “Hermione rarely allowed herself to think of the war. To really think of it.”

Lol! “At least she wasn't taking it badly.”—yes! Thank goodness for small miracles and good friends!

Scorpius! I genuinely love this part of your story...it’s part of adds to a bit of “oh no! Will she accept him because there’s a kid? Will he ever decide he wants her and for her to be part of Scorpius’ life? It’s a challenge for them to overcome individually and together :) and I loved this: “After they were gone Hermione let out a long breath she hadn't realized had caught in her throat.”

“The curse, sadly, was awoken in Astoria. It is unlikely she will live what most would consider a full life...”—dun dun dun dunnnnn THE PLOT THICKENS EVEN MORE! THEO! I love that he’s mentioned :)

“Some part of her felt the loss of heat from being pressed against him.”—*sniffling*

“Hermione swallowed heavily, realizing that Malfoy wasn't at all the person she remembered. It made her wonder what else she didn't know about him.”—sighing and sniffling

You know, this really is such a a unique and different premise, and that’s what drew me in at first :) I mean, it’s fanfiction, and we’re all borrowing characters and telling similar stories with our own spin, but this felt so very different from the beginning, and props to you for that! I don’t think I’ve read another professional Quidditch player Draco, and I love exploring all that would entail in this story :)

This right here in the beginning says so much about where Draco is in life: “His coach had worked them as hard as ever and Draco had stayed after team practice to work on technique and fly himself to exhaustion, as was often his habit.
His coach regularly told him he needed a life. Draco ordinarily shrugged him off. He wasn't interested in cluttering his careful routine with unnecessary endeavours.”

This says a lot too: “Granger," he said, tone low. He met her eyes. "Don't you think this is hilarious?"—I’m certainly laughing, Draco!

“He lifted a hand, buried it in her curly hair. Leaned in close to her ear.”—*fanning face*

"Finally," he muttered, pulling her towards him by her hand as he closed the door—that was actually sweet in his own way :))))

“Instead she spent the night alone, trying to pretend it didn't feel weird falling asleep on her own.”—dun dun dun dunnnnnn. Awwwwwwww :)

Sooooooo...I should apologize...because this is easily my third time to sit down and read through this fic, but I think this will be my first time to comment on chapters...So for that, I’m sorry. I decided to start commenting more this year when I enjoyed works...but i loved this when I stumbled upon it in a night of misery and frustration last November or December, and it’s the reason I went on to read “Chronos” ( which is definitely on my top 5 favorite Dramione fanfics ever list)

But I like this exchange: “You hate me," she whispered, unconsciously wetting her lips.
"Eight years ago, I did," he breathed, his brow furrowing attractively, lips parted. He swallowed. "I don't know you anymore."—true and mature, very mature, Draco... :)

“Carrying her heels, she attempted to Apparate home, finding that his wards would not allow that.”—forced into a walk of shame, after all, mwahahahaha! Lol

“Draco Malfoy, of all people, was her new bloody neighbour. Malfoy, who she had stupidly slept with last night.”—AND SO IT BEGINS!

Love love loved reading this! I found myself opening it to read it at the most random times ontop of reading for a while it each day! Great writing! Realistic love story with a touch a fantasy! I love how you didn’t make it sappy but it held enough real emotion in it! Also the fact that Draco is a quidditch player in this is very original and refreshing! Thanks for the great read!
