There I finished. Wow! I am so glad that I found your story. I loved your representation of Lucius and Narcissa and the fact that they represented a large portion of the comedy in the story. Gotta love that sexy Draco.

Why do you keep reposting your story when there aren\'t any updates? Its really annoying because then you can\'t see what is really new!
Besides, your story doesn\'t *need* the extra reposting. Its 14 chapters long, you\'ve got people hooked. And when people like a story they check back for it. So: extra reposting not necessary just to get hits or reviews.
Thanks, I really do love your story (especially this last chapter ;D), just tired of same the same stories over and over again when nothing has changed....

First... Added you to my LJ friend\'s list (wslyswmn)...
Now, onto my review...
Richard Granger was sprawled out in his newest acquisition, a plush recliner. The television was blaring some sort of sports program that was barely audible above his raucous snores.
Oh yeah... I know this... Seems Richard was based on my own \'dear ole dad\'. LoL.
I can truly, truly empathize with Hermione in this chapter. And another great chapter it was. I\'ve lost many a perspective beau because of my dad\'s \"Hurt her, it\'s not just me who\'ll kill you...\" speech.
I loved the characterization of Hermione\'s mum, what I liked best was how Hermione is a copy of her mum. Right down to her temper. This truly was an awesome chapter. And I especially like the way you had Draco and Richard\'s bonding experience at the dinner table. (Been that road too).
I also enjoyed the way you had Draco reply to Hermione\'s declaration of love. Very sweet.
- Dear Santa,
For christmas, I\'d like a Catalyst Ch 14 Draco all for myself

Please update soon.

I really like this story and it\'s refreshing that it isn\'t entirely smut...
I also must say that you write sex scenes extremely well.

Hello!
Thanks again for the e-mail reminders, which are very much appreciated. I absolutely loved how smoothly the meet-the-parents turned out to be, and am glad that their love is out in the open. It wa so sweet, and I loved that Draco said \"I love you back\" to her. Nice!
I\'m so grateful that you\'ve updated again, and am hoping that I\'ll be able to read more soon. Peace!
Love, me.

I\'ve really enjoyed this fic so far - I HOPE I\'ve reviewed already, I think I have - but I have to say I strongly dislike the device of having \'menfolk\' \'bond\' over criticising a female loved one. I find it really distasteful, and even though Mrs Granger stepped in in this instance, it was still overt enough that it really left a sour taste in my mouth. I know it happens in real life, but it really diminished my respect and appreciation for the characters you\'ve created and I also think Canon!Hermione would have stood up for herself more and not just sit there letting them poke holes in her life. Just my opinion though.

Oh what a treat a new chapter of Catalyst and I get to see Goblet of Fire on the same day Difference being i have critisms of GOF and i don\'t about your update.
The scene with Draco and Hermione\'s dad was brilliant, I loved the way he was being the protective father and terrifying Draco and then how they bonded over Hermione\'s lack of awareness for her safety,not too nice for poor Hermione to endure, but very funny to read about. I think I loved it all the more because it reminded me of my other half and my dad back when they first met, except my mom didn\'t put a stop to it instead she joined in. Also loved Draco\'s sympathy for Mione\'s Dad when faced with the prospect of two angry Granger women. The whole scene was just perfect and I adored it, the relationship and characterisation of Hermione\'s parents was great. The similarity between her and her mom and also the contrast they bare too Draco\'s family was fantastic. Also liked the way we get to see some of Draco\'s feelings towards his relationship with his parents, which was very touching without being too much. The \'love you back\' thing was very sweet too! You never fail to make me smile when I read your updates.
I\'m quite excited by the prospect that you might go back to the issue of the pictures, I hope you do, as i think it wouldbe very enjoyable watching Draco convince Hermione of the idea.
Honestly I can\'t wait to read the next chapter and could you please add me to your update list too!

Gah; Catherine.... you outdo yourself girl!!! My belief that a man who is secure in his own masculinity; would no doubt allow his wife, to so *efficiently* put him in his place, not once but twice. Only a *man* would allow that; no questions asked. Love your characterisations of the Grangers. Lovely; and the lovemaking?? It never hurts to be a romantic.... *sighs* thanks for an amazing chapter!! I\'m right there beside Lorett!
