Well some of that was hilarious, especially Draco the naturist. :D Other bits he's struggling with depression and uncertainty, and at the end as he's finally coming to admit, fear.
That mention of headaches when he wakes up and on that last day that they seem to be getting worse. Does that hint that unlike in the Groundhog Day film there is a limit to how long he can repeat the day before something gives, possibly permanently?
Not quote sure what is happening at the end. For some reason the Giant Squid attack stopped but now something's hitting him with a lightening bolt, which is rather excessive. I did wonder if the squid attack stopped because someone, probably either Harry or Hermione drove it off but I doubt their clumsy enough to hit him.
Anyway, another good chapter. Hopefully he will take Nott's advice and – presumably the next day – actually talk to Hermione. Although even then I suspect he's going to have a few more days before he starts making progress, either with her or with finding his way out of the time loop.
Plus there is still the question of who's sabotaging Hermione's potion? A wild idea came to be as to a possible suspect but I would be totally lost as to motive.
PS Try he is having a difficult time but he could do with some restraint on the language. I only get that bad when England/Britain are in some big sporting event and things start going badly - which unfortunately is all too often, although at least, by the skin of our teeth we won the cricket.
WOW! Didn't see that coming. I'm betting its Terry and Sandi trying to get back at Draco. At least he got his kiss. I'm real interested to see what he's going to do next with all this given information. Keep up the amazing work.
Well a few more threads to the tapestry and you really, really don't like Ms Brown do you? ;) Now on top of everything else she's extorting from another student, although only forcing him to keep quite on her sex life when it sounds a number of other people know about it.
Draco's finally starting to come clean with himself about having feelings about Hermione, albeit that her rejection of his approach makes him bitter enough to plan something unpleasant by the sound of it.
I think this is the 1st time he's actually died rather than ended a cycle by being knocked unconscious. Which could have a bit of a shock effect on him then, like Phil in the film getting depressed and topping himself a few times but that probably wouldn't fit as well in a story as in a film.
Professor Slughorn seems to have confirmed what we thought already, that Draco has to fulfil the wish – or possibly both of them – he made to close the loop. However for the moment he seems to have forgotten that.
It does appear that his theory that Lavender Brown isn't the source of the problem with Hermione's potion, at least unless she did something some time in advance. However it seems her potion was spiked with Fluxweed powder somehow. So something else to consider when he starts thinking about that mystery again.
Well Draco's still deep in denial although he's come up with an interesting way of keeping Lavender Brown away from the potions lab. I just have a strange feeling its not going to work however and very much so it won't stop him waking up and finding out he's still in the time-loop. Suspect its definitely related to until he sorts out his relations with Hermione.
Nothing occurring at the moment as a specific way for him to be knocked out, or die for that matter. Although possibly for the later he's going to find himself taking a bullet for Hermione in some way?
I really liked the first half of this chapter. I cant wait to see how his interaction with harry goes. I think any of those ideas would work, but i was wondering if maybe closer to one of his last repetitive days he could bonk heads or aomething like that while maybe trying to kiss hermione? Just a suggestion. I look forward to the next part. It helps the weeks go by faster lol.
Lol. Great story I can’t wait to see what happens next. I just love how Malfoy‘s Groundhog Day is turning his world upside down
Oh boy. Things are about to get interesting! Im so excited and cant wait for the next chapter.
Well we might have a solution as to what's causing the problem, although how to resolve it is more problematic.
I'm not quite sure why their so eager to knock Draco out, other than that's he's Draco. ;) They could just wait for the following day.
Some funny exchanges in there and Draco's melt-down at the start is both understandable and in some ways hilarious. I'm rather surprised that they believe him, or at least as much as most of them do.
I've probably missed something but Draco seemed to think Brown [Lavender?] was the one who spiked Hermione's potion. Possibly have to reread the earlier chapters to see why.
At some point we will presumably get some background as to why Hermione has given the information she has. Would guess that tomorrow Draco will talk to Harry rather than go directly to Hermione but how quickly can he persuade them both and what happens then. The idea that its a divided wish is a good one but how to test it and then how to resolve it we will have to see.
Anyway another good chapter. Many thanks. :D
Loving this story so far. I actually at one point thought that maybe Hermione was also stuck in the time loop as well but she figured it out the first day and has been trying to figure out how to get out of it and now realizes that Draco and her are both stuck in it together due to the potion failing. Boy would that be a twist LOL! Keep up the awesome work! Can't wait for the next chapter!
I love all your stories! This one is very interesting and has left me on the edge of my seat. I think it would have been interesting to see how ron looked but i can see how you are going with this story :). I cant wait till next sunday.
