I really like 'Claiming Hermione'. The characters are extremely believable, realistic, and lovable. I mean, yes, they're a tad ooc, but hello! It's a fanfic! What else could we fanfic lovers expect? I can't wait for the next update! I hope it comes soon!

LOL, I'm glad you don't mind that I pick up on the funny! I always wonder if it seems I'm coming off too jokey because I think most people in my neck of the woods have a time with us playful types always finding the little things greatly amusing (though that's why I always imagine why Dumbledore was always so twinkly in the eye department, it's that whole playful nature thing). ;) That said, for this chapter I caught myself snickering and then agreeing with the following:

"She thought about the other girls he had slept with. She thought about Pansy. And she thought that maybe she understood Pansy a little more than she had before. And that really bothered her."

Seriously, there's nothing like finding you actually share something in common with someone you hate besides that the whole mammal "that breathes air and needs water and food to survive" thing, like "Omigosh, we share feelings!!! But she's nuts and evil! We can't share feelings! Ewww! I share feelings with whorezilla!" (well fanfic Pansy is what I'm referencing, I'm thinking cannon wasn't depicted so whorishly, LOL!)

I mean, under the right conditions with the right person, thinking husbandy-goodness here, I don't mind feeling like a wanton slut, and all "yes please do come take me you wickedly delicious man" (I mean, they do make many flavors of chocolate topping these days including: dark chocolate, Irish cream, mocha, and white chocolate raspberry). I mean, if you can't get your strumpety-tart on, then what's the point really? It's like "whip cream with the cherry on top feeling" but you know, on your boobs or, um, else where. ;) Anyways I thought it was funny in that aspect. You have sex crazy hot sex, you're going to start understanding other people's motivations to act a certain way or *gasp* how they might feel, even if you still don't agree, or *gasp* (lol) find that you feel the same things and uncomfortably so. ;) Anyways please keeping inspiring us with your wonderful story! I am so loving it. :D

It's a good cliffhanger though. UPDATE SOON.

Awww, that was a really sweet post! A little fluffy though, especially with the last chapter so... so full of desperation and overflowing with.... impatience? Itchiness? Either way, I have actually come up with a really interesting idea for my first HP fic. And I do plan on writing it... I tend to write quickly so, who knows? I might get something up this weekend. I'm just having a terrible time writing Harry... :(

Yay for Draco's happy Christmas Day! It really made mine. I had to read it twice, and I couldn't stop smiling about it. You know, I just noticed this thing in this chapter (and it makes me feel a bit dumb, too): Whenever sections are done with Draco's thoughts in mind, it's always "Granger," but when it's Hermione it's always "Draco"...He gets to her more than she realizes and it's adorable. I think I'll have to re-read the whole damn thing again just to say if it was always there...(that's what I say, but I'm pretty sure it's just an excuse to read your wonderful story again).

Snow sex, snow sex! That'd be too wet and cold and there'd be shrinkage. Doubt that Draco's pride would EVER allow such a thing to happen.

I'm waiting for the happy ending :D and btw, this chapter made me completely forget that it's the middle of summer in Southern California. It was just THAT awesome.

OK, sorry I slacked off a bit so this is my review of 24 and 25. I love the angst that Draco is going through. The whole 'roar' and throwing the ink bottle was perfect. It is different from the usual 'Hermione being angsty over Draco' stories. I like this twist. I'm not quite sure I understand Hermione's seeming indifference to the whole situation though, I'm guessing she is in like a state of shock. As for the trip to Hogsmeade - I love it - especially the snowball fight. I can't wait for more.

*sigh* Christmas is so magical. Snow is so magical, even without wands. All the best romantic moments happen in the rain and the snow, and there is no doubt as to why. *love sigh*

I feel all mushy inside, I'm secretly wishing it were snowing right now, only for the romance and brilliance it would impact on my mushy mood. Then it can disappear haha.

Oh I just wish he would say it, but I love the tension, I love how he panics. I love the way you write it. There are few people who can write about love and really and truly portray it without all the cliches one can throw out when explaining love. I'm truly envious of that. I can write angst, and sex, and probably any other feeling when I really sit down to write, but love, love is something that truly escapes my vocabulary. Love is something I can only feel, and never express(at least not in words.) I love that you can. I love how you do. You write the beginnings of love, and being in love so well, the romance, the pain, the confusion, the insecurities, its all there flawlessly.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter, I hope the tension lasts, I never did see Hermione caving so easily or Draco revealing it too easily either. I love the tension, the what ifs, everything. I hope it lasts a little longer. Oh and I desperately hope that somewhere in the future there will be a rainy scene. Like I said, rain and snow...it's magic.

I absolutely love this story! The build-up, the charaterisation, your style - it was fantastic! I am now buzzing with excitement for the next chapter. (Sorry for the casual hint?)
