I like the direction this is going in. Hopefully this will turn into a Harry/Luna! *fingers crossed* Ginny never seemed right for Harry to me. It's nice to see a mature side to Harry and Draco. I do want to see Hermione get rid of some of that Malfoy hate. She sounds a bit too much like Ron for me right now, but at least she isn't afraid to stick up to Ron for Draco. Your time theory works well. Very inventive! I like that its moving well, without being too fast or too slow. I can't wait to read more!

I don't understand why some authors are under the assumption that Hermione would stay with Ron if treated her like shit. It's absolutely ridiculous. This is my biggest issue with this story, that and why Ron must be the a-hole. It's not impossible to write a dramione story where Ron isn't a jerk. He did grow up at the end of book seven, too many people seem to forget that.

I do like this story. I'm not fond of the formatting, but I do like the story. It's a bit refreshing. However, I do believe the back and forth Hermione and Draco inner dialogue about each other is redundant at times. It's like, I get it already.

I'm looking forward to seeing Luna. She's such an awesome character.

I want to really like this story, but I find parts of it annoying and improbable. Ron and Hermione's relationship is a total cop out. It would have been better if they were two people who'd grown apart because of distance. The idea that Hermione Granger is even considering marrying Ron, or has even stayed with him this long, is ludicrous. Seriously! Hermione Granger! I've read stories where Ron's an ass yada, yada, and they haven't always bothered me, but this one, annoys the hell out of me because it's farcical. Hermione Granger! REALLY????????? O yeah, and the Weasley's demanding a manor and George living in said manor is...girl stop, just stop. Ginny I can take or leave depending on her characterizations. That being said, I prefer Harry with someone else, she's tiresome.

Have Harry and Hermione switched instincts? Hermione thinking Draco is up to something while Harry completely trust his roommate. "Things that make you go hmmm."

I don't mean to be harsh. The fact that I've read all eight chapters means that the story is interesting. There are few DHr stories that hold my interests these days, and I mean every few. The story is well written and I like the idea that you're taking your time with the Marriage Law and not springing it on the reader in the first chapter. I like your characterizations of Harry, Hermione, and Draco. I look forward to reading what you do with Luna, and I wouldn't mind a little HL lovin or even HHrD lovin. *Shrugs* I just wish that the good part out weighed the annoying parts.

Lastly, OMG!, I get that Draco and Hermione are attractive, but it doesn't need to be rehashed to death.

Oh Hermione... methinks thou dost protest too much! tee hee hee She is in for such a rude awakening. lol Draco making her that necklace and then declaring that this time he was really going to stay away from her, makes me say the same to him. Oh, they are going to be explosive when they do finally give in and admit their feelings. I hope she is ready to lose her virginity, because it's not long for this world. ha ha ha Harry, Lucius and the voting few... eek! I keep forgetting you plan this to be a marriage fic eventually. Thank you, HG4eva

Oh no!!! Hermione and Harry have to be separated from the Wesley's before the law gets passed or they will rush them into marriage because they are pure bloods!!! Course Draco can't marry Astoria so that will be easy :)

Interesting chapter, though I am not seeing where the "pay back" comes in.

Wonderful first chapter! So well written I know I won't be disappointed with the rest. The characters are very very well constructed. I hope the sex scenes are as well described as this scene ;)

Wow! This is great! Draco's reaction to the twins was priceless. I also like how you are showing hermione's heart of gold struggling over the decision to chuck Ron while respecting herself. Well done :)

Usually I don't leave a review for every chapter when those chapters were written months ago but I HAVE TO it's just that good. "I want you Granger" and he does so much. Usually in fanfic the reasons why Draco focuses his attentions on her are shallow and unrealistic but this is very believable. I hope in future chapters he falls in love with more parts of her personality. Details like loving the way she laughs when she's tickled and how cute she looks when she's angry make my heart go all gooey :) thanks!
