YAY...Blaise is finally seeing the light =) Actually the part that got me this chapter was the little scene between Blaise and Harry. I hadn't really thought it thru enough that they were both having the same issues,just coming at them from different angles...(darn hot-headed hotties! - LOL) It makes sense that they would understand each others anger/resentments though I admit to having a touch of the giggles when they were both defending their best friends. I love the way this story is coming around full cirlce and I get the feeling it might be done soon? =( (oh wait...you did mention a sequal! - that makes me happy!)

I love the easy way Draco and Hermione are getting along now, and they are so relaxed together. Luna has always seemed to me to be fey, to have a touch of the sight coupled with some sort of inborn wisdom. She is a complex, interesting character who always seems to have the right thing to say at the right time, though sometimes you wouldn't think so!

Another brilliant chapter!!! Thank you!!

Hugs....

I approve wholeheartedly of this entire story! I love it and please update quickly! And please for the love of God, add in some smut soon! Lmao! I do wish that Blaise would find someone to make him happy...And I'm glad that Draco and Hermione are happy with one another...And Quirke's reasons for not liking Hermione? effing priceless! Though the best part? Draco and Hermione being caught, mid mush, by Snape...It was the funniest thing. I giggled my butt off. Lol. Thanks for another great chapter!

If it makes you feel any better I thought I was the one who missed something important, not you. :)

I wonder where these Slytherins keep their alcohol stashed, not exactly something encouraged by the school after all, I'm sure. LOL And LMAO on Greg asking how was things with Hermione. I like that Draco didn't blab about her but for sure he's been talking about others in the past - I'm sure it would have helped greatly with his 'experienced' reputation. Then the conversation grew more serious and Greg asked why they had decided to hate Harry and what a surprise to realise they had no real reason to do so except for the expectations of a child and how easily little things could grow into something far worse.

I'm glad Harry and Ginny are talking. It would be silly if she can be calm and listen to everyone else and not Harry. Don't think I hadn't noticed that Pansy and Ron are having private time in the bedroom either. ;) LMAO Interesting that she chose to make a joke about future children to lighten the mood and that Harry just went along with it. LOL But she certainly said all the right things to him and he 'appears' to have listened. I'm very proud of Ginny. :)

OMG - what are those pair doing and in the middle of Potion's class for Merlin's sake. LMAO It's all so cringeworthy when you're on the oustide listening in but obviously they are both quite happy with the syrupy sweetness. And of course we were all just waiting for the moment that Snape would come over and catch them and let loose a disgusted comment of his own. LMAO Oh to be in the classroom then, ROFL But oh dear, Blaise and Harry weren't too happy with that little declaration of love at all, were they? I really think you should write me into the story so I can keep Blaise distracted/occupied so he doesn't worry about Hermione and Draco. LMAO (kidding)

Good to know my long rambles pay off on occasion and we get more story to enjoy, hey! :) I love your Millie, but of course I love this story so it all adds up wonderfully. :) Therapy for Harry in the official books, I can see that but I also thought he would never settle for a quiet life either. After so much excitement so young, I think a part of that would always stay with him. And kudos to you to have another story waiting in the wings - now I feel slacker than usual for not sitting down more often and writing myself. It's hard when there are so many great stories to read. (But thanks for the review on my Lucius story, I'm pleased you enjoyed it).

I love how you give each group their own time - the boys moment at the top was a great reminder that these friends have been through alot and that they are that - FRIENDS. They need these moments to reconnect and reestablish that link that they've had since they were children. And what's nice is the equal footing they are all on without the threat of a war. Now they can just be guys - I don't think they realize how precious that is but we do relish in it as your readers.

Harry Harry Harry - he and Blaise in the same boat but at differt spectrums. I'm surprised those two gits haven't bonded over their mutual stupidity - though they seem to have Ginny in common. And leave it to Ginny to try and talk sense to Harry but really at some point she's just going to get fed up. What will she do then? More importantly, what will he do when his act gets old? Hermione will not stand for his bullshit any longer....which brings us to that goo-making, body-melting scene between our two protagonists.

Wow - to admit their love like that in front of everyone - that must have been...awkward? But so perfect no? And fitting? They've always had to worry about how everyone would perceive them, Draco especially yet here they are pubically declaring their love and freeing themselves from those final shackles. And everyone else as well because their declaration was a pass for everyone - an allowance if you will - to move on with your life and make good decisions. To relish in your new beginning.

Oh, Draco makes my body melt - just melt and I loved how you wrote it.

Yeah Hermione how was it to kiss the oh-so-hot Draco Malfoy? LOL

Before I say anything I loved how Draco called her "my witch" - that must have just floored Harry. Now onto some thoughts and hopeful insights....

Ginny is getting more and more interesting by the chapter. I've never had a strong feeling for Ginny until this story. I really like her and she's able to really manage going from wise sage with life-altering advice to serious Head Girl to giggling girlfriend. This is how I think I've always wanted to picture her - she's a good blend of her parents and probably a bit wiser being the only female amongst all those brothers.

And again, I just love how you are revealing Draco from the shadows. He's morphing before our very eyes into this very sexy, confident man that is at the ready to defend his girl. He loves treating Hermione like a girl - not a bookworm, like one of the guys, a pal; no he treats her like a delicate feminine creature that has utterly captivated him. And Hermione lets him and loves it. I think part of her has always wanted someone to sweep her off her feet - she's so strong and confident that for someone like Draco to come and knock her off and make her feel slightly unsettled probably leaves her all tingly. He leaves me tingly.

I do like how Harry was handled - he needs to get over this and deal. Ron has and I was really proud of him for doing the right thing instead of siding with Harry. Harry's just being irrational right now. It's not endearing him to anyone. Its hard to have your world tossed asunder but that's what the boy-who-lived-to-beat-Voldemorts-ass was supposed to do. Its because of him that these changes are happening, he should realize that, its something to proud of to instill change in another human being. I think he needs a little dose of his own beliefs.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

PS: I didn't even blink about Greg/Millie, thanks to Dreamweaver for catching as it gave us a mini-chapter.
