A little confusing at times but I'm excited to see what's going to happen. I like your writing style and I can't wait to read more. Keep Writing!

I think it's Draco, going to warn her about the upcoming events (which I hope play out like they do it the book!!), and she won't listen or something crazy will happen, like he'll kiss her!? Ooh, so many different things that can happen! Such a great chapter, honestly! Cliffhangers are a writer's best friend and a reader's worst enemy in my opinion, and it holds true in this chapter. Good job! :) xx

Hey there! So I'm just now getting into this story, but I love it anyway! :D This is, by far, the most true to the real story of any fanfiction I've ever read, and that's a great thing! I'm glad that you aren't trying to shove Dramione down the reader's throats, as it's just not quite plausible (even though it IS my main OTP) in this stage. But you write fantastically, so great job on all of these first chapters, I'm excited to see how you portray what comes next logically in the book. :) xx

Hey Erica!

I really enjoyed this chapter, I think it was that cameo from Dumbledore which really pulled it off. Your characterisation of him was great, and that little offer of sherbet lemons just made him, him really.

I really liked how Hermione's still pretending that her and Draco are just friends. Pff I know better, she really does like him deep down and she should really stop denying it!

I'm guessing this probably going to go quite canon, so I wonder what's going to happen when the death eaters come in and raid Hogwarts. I'm guessing Hermione's not going to approve, she's Hermione.

Another great chapter and I can't wait for the next!

Amazing ! Write chapter 14 soon ok?

I am actually very interested in this story. I like where it is going and how you slowly made Draco and Hermione friends and kept them both in character.

 Report Review

Hey =)

So chapter 5, you said it yourself it was a little filler, but still interesting enough.
I liked how you made Hermione follow Draco, even if it was a little sudden and unexpected and Draco was on character. This also really steared my interest in perspective as to this becoming a Dramione.

Other than that I liked the train ride and the little thing about the vacation, even though it was very casual and nothing much happened. It's actually harder to write these paragraphs, than the action packed ones. At least in my opinion.
Well, so much for that =)
I also think that you really gotten into writing this story now, found your style/pace for it, I don't know how to describe this, but it just shows in your flow that it just works really well for you and that always draws readers to a story. Maybe its also because we are finally starting to get into the story, making some progress.
Looking forward to the next chapters, but now I'm gonna be busy myself ^^
Love,

Hey,
back for chapter 4.
As you might noticed, I'm really into this by now ^^

I really liked that Hermione had to wait for Cormac. It was a head-start into the chapter and you already had me thinking "that's so him"
He stayed very well to canon for the rest of the chapter as well.
I especially liked the flow of this chapter, I don't exactly know why, but it just worked really well.
Also Hermione and her attempts to "escape" =)
When you let her bump into someone at the beginning I thought it would be Malfoy, but I am actually glad that you are only subtly working him in so far.

I also wonder how Cormac could leave from under the mistletoe. I wouldn't put it beyond him to kiss another girl and chase Hermione again.
So far it was really true to canon and realistic.
My favorite chapter so far! And I am really excited where you're going to take this, to make Hermione and Draco meet.
Well, that it =)
Love,
T.

On to chapter three =)

As for your characters, you really did well.
Ron was as clueless as ever and also the little bit of Harry that we've seen.

Also how Hermione handles her heart-brokenness comes along well. It just wouldn't be her to completely loose it over a boy.
Her thoughts flow really well, so far, so that's that.
I didn't think its all too surprising that Malfoy didn't spill the beans, since hes worried Hermione might do the same in return.

So far, you're true to canon (I'm glad you kept Cormac as her date, on the other hand I would doubt a true-to-character Malfoy would agree to date her. Yet.) and absolutly realistic.
So, now I'm out of things to say =).
Great job.
Love,
T.

Hey =)

So back for the second chapter.
As for your characters, I think they are doing great so far. Draco? You definitely hit the nail on its head.
And Hermione also sounds very true to character.

Seeing that Malfoy cried puts a really interesting twist to it and as i said, how he reacts to it, is very real for him.
So far it really steers my interest.

I actually really like that your chapters aren't 6000 words long. Because sometimes there just isn't enough plot for 6000 words and it gets boring quickly, but so far this is just on the point and flowing quite well =)

Keep it up! I'm off to the next one.
Love,
T.

Hey =)

So, this was a rather short chapter, but still I think it set a good start, right on the point what this story will be about.
It also triggers my interest, as for what will happen now, how they'll react to each other.

Since this was rather short, I actually don't have much to critize. I like your writing style so far and now I really dont have anything else to say =)
Great start!

Love,
T.

Hello!

I was so glad that you updated this story, as I really like it, and I was beginning to miss it :(

I really loved how you showed how Hermione was torn between Draco and Harry. You can really feel for her, as she doesn’t really know where her loyalties should lie.

It was also nice to see that despite the fact that Ron was dating Lavender, they could sort of work together through a time of crisis and not fight, and that was really touching to see.

I also loved the brief mention of Ginny and Harry managing to reveal their true feelings to one another. Though I don’t like them as the main pairing, I love them as the sub pairing, so this was really nice to read.

A great chapter, and I hope to see more soon!

-Kiana :)

Author's Response: Aw you were missing my story?! That just makes me so happy and makes me want to crank out another chapter as soon as I can just for you! Aw your review has just left me with feels! I wanted to show that it would be hard for hermione as she is devloping feelings for Draco and yet her friends have no idea so she doesn't really have anyone to confide in about it so she has to keep to herself. I myself am one who isn't really a big supporter of people making Hermione and Ron's relationship become one of pure hatred just because of him wanting to be with someone else or her getting together with Draco. Yes its true Ron has a temper and things might get rocky with him but he is a true friend, he showed that in DH by coming back and knowing he made a mistake the moment he left. Thanks so much for the review its really made my day!

OMG! I kept thinking back to HBP, wondering why Draco would disappear, just in case there was a clue, then Harry came in all pale and shaky and I knew - I can't believe I forgot about Sectumsempra!

I felt so sad for Hermione, thinking she'd been stood up by someone she'd come to depend on, even if that person did turn out to be Draco Malfoy. And know she's gonna know that he's hurt. I wonder if she'll go see him publicly, wait till she knows they'll be alone or wait till he comes to her, in the library or something.

I can't wait for the next chapter. And I have no more 'next's to press!!!

Great chapter.

Sam.

Author's Response: Chapter twelve has already been posted so I do hope that you will come back and check it out! I'm so glad that you are enjoying this story. Yeah I'm trying to keep this story pretty close in line with HBP though at the same time making it seperate! Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review!

Hey again. I'm back. :)

Ah! Big Dramione moment - first names and smiles and honest words. I feel so sad for Draco, I want to hug him. I want Hermione to hug him. I want someone to hug him.

Enjoying this story so much. Great job.

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm so glad that you like this and are enjoying the interactions between the two. I know the feeling as well, I wish I could hop in there and give Draco a hug! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

It's nice that Hermione is able to try and help Malfoy, despite their past - she just doesn't seem the type to ignore when a person needs it, no matter what or who. Well, within reason, I think. Maybe not Bellatrix or Voldemort. I like that about her character.

I wonder when Draco will finally accept help, or anything, from Hermione. I imagine something will happen, noodles what, though.

I loved the end that, that real friendship is being able to not fill the silence every time. I believe that.

Great chapter.

I loved Spy-like Hermione, it was funny to read and definitely something I would do, something everyone in a situation like that should do. :P Even the Pink Panther song, which is now kinda stuck in my head.

I'm enjoying the slow interaction between Draco and Hermione. It's changing ever so slightly each time, a small step forward and there are still plenty of moments when they're still the same, but still changing. I like that it's slow.

Great chapter.

Oooh, I was wondering what parts of canon would stick, I was so curious as to what would happen between Hermione, Lavender and a knocked out Ron. I was still thinking he'd say Hermione's name, but no, it was Lavender's. Big whoa moment.

I'm glad, though. I like that, as it says Draco/Hermione, that Ron will more likely be the protective best friend that I'd love to read about him, rather than a jealous wannabe boyfriend. That would be just one big set up for heartbreak.

Really enjoying this story. Great chapter.

I think I'd feel the same as Hermione about Valentines if the guy I liked was with someone else. I've never cared about the holiday in general, but getting Hermione's POV and her anger for the holiday made me kind of want to hate it with her.

And Malfoy, so stubborn. Given it's a Dramione pairing, I am really trying onto guess how they could get to that point, but he just doesn't make it easy. :P I like that.

Great chapter.

Hey again. :)

Even in the books/movies Ron and Lavender's relationship. Not in a really bad way, but she was so clingy and possessive, that it was a little scary and weird. Now, reading it in Hermione's PoV rather than Harry's, it's more so, you know. Because she's the one who likes Ron, so it's going to be worse reading the relationship. You hate it because Hermione does. And Lavender's just scary now.

I really enjoyed this chapter. I liked that Hermione was able to get away from everything with that trip to Ireland. And Draco's little cameo made sure we didn't forget about him. Wel, who can forget Draco? :P

Loved it.

Sam.

Oh my gosh, I didn't even notice that we were at the end of sixth year, but it definitely makes sense, wow!

Okay, I know I just said that the relationship was moving too fast, but that scene in the library was too cute. I think those are the kind of little moments that I want to see more of, especially since they're so different from the usual scenes of kissing and heavy physical activity that I often see in romance stories. It actually made me really want to skip ahead in the chapter to their next meeting!

I really like how you tied this into canon with Draco "standing up" Hermione because he was injured. I can only imagine how she will react when Harry tells her exactly what happened.

This is shaping up to be really good. I'm glad I came by to read more. Thanks again for the swap :)

I have to comment that it seems like the speed of the relationship took off a little too fast for my liking in this chapter. I sort wish it was done from Draco's perspective instead of Hermione's, just so I could understand why he wanted to share a table with her and why he was so nice to her in Hogsmeade.

I also felt like Draco's behavior was a little back-and-forth in this chapter. He seems to shift a lot between teasing her cruelly or trying to get her to leave him alone and being nice to her or revealing his feelings. It was weird that he told her that he couldn't divulge his secret there at the end and then basically told her everything in the next breath. I really loved how you were taking this story slow before, and I'd love to see you continue with allowing little moments between Draco and Hermione to build up to a real connection.

I did like how Hermione thought about everyone else pairing up and wanted a boyfriend of her own. It helps set up the upcoming ship and adds a sympathetic layer to her, based on all that has been going on. I also think it was good to include just to remind people that Hermione isn't just a star student, she's a real girl with real feelings!

I'm on to the most recent chapter :)
