AHHH I must say that was a satisfying chapter =]
I would say it'd be good if you started a chapter with one of DRACO'S dreams...
Ohhh hott stuff!

YOu are such a tease! The dream...grr i was like FINALLY she has finally given in! Anyway darling this is the best chapter yet. The way it all played out...Draco thinking, Ron and Harry meddling and making moves, Ginny coming to the semi-rescue, And poor Hermione....it was all brilliant. You have ended this chapter making me want sooo much more. I cannot wait, CANNOT WAIT, for the next bit!! (i would write more darling but as you may know I am still so drained of energy...my couch awaits!)

:) Well done darling Well done! Well worth the wait

Love, Ally

Okay, so it's almost midnight and I'm dead on my feet when I decide to check aff really quickly to see if any of my stories have gotten reviewed lately. The thought occurred to me that I hadn't checked for an update on a certain Hermione/Draco fic that I had been reading a while back so I decided to check and see if there was an update so that I could bookmark it and read it the next day. I mean it is, after all, after midnight and I have to be up early for a conference the next morning.

So, I'm looking for the story and happen across this cute little summary of a story called "It Had To Be You". I thought "Well, I just read the first chapter and then if I like it, I'll bookmark it and read it tomorrow."....


....it is now after 1:30 am, I have to be in conference in 5 and a half hours and I've read your story completely through. So if I fall asleep tomorrow and drool into my coffee cup, I'm making you take full responsibility since you had me so enthralled with this fic that I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT stop reading it.


In all honesty, I have to tell you that this is one of the cutest fics I've read in a loooooooooong time. So many of this pairing are angsty drama ridden fics....it's nice to see some fluff for a change!

You keep up the good work, sweetie, and even if I DO fall asleep and drool in my coffee again from having stayed up to read more of your updates, then it will be well worth it!

Beautiful, amazing, what more can i really say. The way you describe emotion, the emotion they feel, was absolutely beautiful, the way you strung out the climax of the story, and the way you write. This is one of the most beautiful stories i've had the pleasure to read, mesmerizing.

Lorett, darling! (running up to you and showering you with kisses) Oh, how I love this story of yours! And I love the obligatory angsty chappie, too! Let's see, shall I do one of those checklist reviews that you seem to do so well? I'll try, but I may not do it justice! Here's what I liked about this chapter:

Dreamy dream-sex- check
hot bathtub scene- check
mention of the ecstasy potion- check
Hermione sticking to her standards- double check
Frustrated Draco- check
boys gossiping in the loo- check
Clueless Harry misinterpreting Hermione's hints- check (how typical of him!)
Smug matchmaker!Harry- check
Fun Ginny/Harry banter- check
Socially inept Ron- check
Draco walking in at just the wrong time- check
Draco jumping to conclusions like fleas jump on a junkyard dog- check
Much angst ensues- double check
Hermione sobbing in a heap on the snow covered ground- check
Draco in the clouds berating himself- check
Draco and Hermione making up with fabulous snogging- er, hang on! Where the hell is that part???

As your beta, I must admonish you about your penchant for changing things after I have edited for you: you have "torrents of Hogwarts" where I believe you want "turrets of Hogwarts" there near the end, darling. Otherwise, it was sheer delicious bliss, my sweet!

Sigh. I want this Draco that you write. He's absolutely yummy!

All my love and hugs,
Ronnie
