5 stars!

I wanted to follow up on my previous review and say that I love the path you made for Astoria, she's been nothing but lovely in this story and deserves the lovey-dovey happiness she has with Theo.

As for the dramione however, I've lost motivation to read the rest of the story, the plot so far has been great, but it has been entirely about the dramione, and now that they are together, it's lost a lot of it's appeal to me. Usually however that would not prevent me from powering through to the end of the fic, but in this case, it was the sex scene that really underdid it for me. I immediately was concerned when I saw how close the scroll bar was to the end when I read the lead up and figured the scene would be in this chapter. Your description of everything from kissing in the doorway, to being on the bed, hand in panties was hot and thrilling, and rightfully took 7 paragraphs or so, but a mere two paragraphs later they've both come and the chapter is over, leaving me utterly unfulfilled and frankly disappointed.

I must say I really did like the story and writing up to this point you have some great ideas, but in an M-rated fic with essentially no plot aside from Dramione getting together, you really can't afford to skimp on the sex scene.

Oh man,

I tend to only review at the end of completed fics, but man this chapter did me in! Mainly cuz Astoria is nothing but perfectly lovely, clever and interesting, yet by a factor of two weeks, she's getting passed over. I hope she gets a man she deserves, or woman for that matter, she deserves it!
Meanwhile I guess I'll have to take solace in the fact that the trigger to meeting both Astoria and Hermione was the same, so our Dramione would have always happened first. I'm just amazed at how you've managed to tear at this dramione elitist's heart with your portrayal of Astoria. Well done and full marks to you.

Now barring any more such absurdities, see you at the close.

Omg I love this already! I love this Hermione and Dracomature (so far lol)

Amazing! I love this story and how the ring was central to everything!

I sincerely cannot fathom HOW I have managed to read stories on this site for more than ten years only to stumble upon your stories mere days ago!
It is simply preposterous and I beg your forgiveness. To atone, I've been diligently reading your stories, and I'm afraid I'll be soon left in tears, for there be no more left for me to read soon! I just can't pace myself..!
This story was perfect, but I'm finding that's your default writing style!

Wonderful

I really enjoy your story, it is beautifull, thank you :))

What a beautiful story! I love the focus on Draco and his independence. That’s such a departure from the typical Dramiones, which I love, but which emphasize Hermione more.
Well written!

Alright so I waited until I finished this story to review. I’ve stumbled upon you and I’ve got to say you’re an amazing writer! I’m adding you to my favorites list.. I love the way you can foreshadow without giving too much away and leaving the story predictable.. there was only a couple of times I predicted something would happen but the big things like the ring I didn’t even think of it and I love it when the writer does that it make the story more enjoyable..

Can’t wait for more from you! I’m going to go enjoy some of your other fics!

I'm really enjoying this as they get to know each other. I like that he's still a pureblood prat, in some ways, and she is still very bookish, but they are both nice to each other.

Draco seems to have some problems, even if he is selling a lot of books. Hermione reading at work cracked me up.

Nice last line. He seemed pretty cocky from his thoughts at the beginning. I'm glad he was nice to Hermione.

Wow! I really enjoyed your fic.

One Of The Best Dramione Stories I Have Ever Read...It Was Beautiful And Full Of Emotions...I Absolutely Enjoyed This Fanfic, And I'll Come Back To Read It Again And Again...
