nice!!

Well, thanks again for the update. I can see some chinks in Draco's armor, and I think Hermione will, too. :D

I am a bit torn. Deep down I want the romantic, sappy happy ending for our couple. You know, love, marriage and a baby carriage, but this is Dramione we are talking about. As much as I love this ship it is not one that follows an easy or clear path to happiness. Having said that, I think with Hermione already in love and Draco showing all the signs we are pretty far down that path already. You've down a great job bringing these two together and I can easily see it working out for them in the end. That doesn't mean there won't be a bit of angst, jealousy and pain before we get there- it's still Draco after all. If I had to guess I would say Draco is going to get more and more addicted to Hermione and he will continue to be blind to what that means until something or someone forces him to see it. A twist or two here and there are always fun and I think there will be lots of fun to come :)

I thought the 'first time' that you wrote for Hermione was perfect and realistic (and a hell of a lot better than mine come to think of it - LOL) I've not been disappointed with anything you've written nor do I expect to be. :) I loved the plot building of this chapter. Hermione so needs a friend right now and Ginny is the closest to a female friend that she has. I also think it's made the whole thing real for Hermione now. A secret that no-one else knows is fun for a while but it does get to you eventually, especially something like this when she's so sure of things one minute and letting her emotions and insecurities reign the next. And Ginny didn't judge her even though she showed concern and worry for her and I liked that the best of all. :) Yayness!!!!!

Hiya Lennalady! I'm not really sure what I expected for the morning after. I think I was keeping the options open knowing that Draco can be unpredictable. I was sad that she didn't have the experience of waking up with him next to her, or him waking up with her (well, I guess technically he did). But, I'm not sure that it would have been good if she had - may have given her false hope. I really loved Hermione's talk with Ginny. I can totally see the guilt suddenly crashing over her unexpectedly like that. And her confessions that maybe her feeling were involved more than she'd care to admit was superb. Can't wait to see how she and Draco act next time they see each other. He is doing a good job of not being overly sweet. It makes me hope that she throws his world upside down! :) Lovely work lady!

I still like it ;D so don't worry

Poor Hermione! I have been with guys like that and, let me tell you, she should just stop seeing him until he decides what he wants! Well, good job writing this anyway, obviously it's very true to life.

Thanks so much for the update....and even though she didn't achieve the kind of completion, it is all to easy to become emotionally attached to that kind of intimacy. That is always the horridly painful part of the unrequited feelings, eh? Thanks so much for writing this. I just hope that Hermione can become stronger for all the pain she's now going to endure. From personal experience, the only way she'll end the pain is to end the relationship. I don't see your Draco actually changing more than he already has. But, hey, you could always prove me wrong! :D I am a sucker for happy endings.

I might need more than a couple days. I think I know exactly how Draco felt, like the foreplay had lasted for months, instead of just days for us readers. I was a bit behind so I got to read two chapters and I am glad I did because I doubt I could have stood the suspense otherwise. Sometimes authors do too much build up and not enough delivery, but you came through on both sides. This chapter and the one before were great and VERY satisfying :) I am enjoying your Draco's rationalizations about his feelings for Hermione. He is obviously in over his head, but too cocky to see it. Very canon Dracoesque. I have my own views as to where these two are headed, but I look forward to seeing how you develop the plot and how the others will react if and when the twosome get revealed. I hope you have a nice rest, you deserve it!

Oh my god! This is one of the best Dramione smut scenes I've ever read. Thank you so much, it was worth waiting a week. I love the fact that the first time wasn't rough, because it would really hurt. And I also love the fact that she didn't finish the first time - I thought it was very realistic. Great job, as always, and please update soon! I want more sex!!
