"The war caused many dark memories, but one happy memory all but eliminated them for me: the first time we made love.

Hermione felt herself blush at the memory of that night. She remembered the unexpected storm as they had left the restaurant. She remembered the way they had kissed passionately as the rain soaked their clothes. She remembered being apparated away from the restaurant by Draco - or had she apparated Draco away with her?"

That's my favourite moment in your story! That and Abraxus' portrait laughing at Lucius' portrait being blindfolded... :-)

A wedding can make everyone nervous, so I find it understandable that she would seek re-assurance in that time, while it's interesting to read that Draco realises her need to be sure, as he is often portrayed as assuming and a bit oblivious at times.

I definitely like what you made from my prompt, it's a lovely little story... :-D

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

"uppity Muggle-born polluting the Malfoy bloodline."
-> hahaha, definitely something that Lucius would say

It's nice and brave of her that she's finally facing her demons.

I didn't know you could have moving portraits of living persons. How silly of me. I have always thought that they had to be dead first, don't know why exactly.

Kinky! I bet it was very thrilling to have almost been seen having sex. Kind of hot, the voyeurism, though it might perhaps have been better if it hadn't been family.

I loved the letter. It was very sweet!

Well, regarding the portraits and living people, keep in mind it was of Lucius Malfoy, and you know how he always obeys rules and such, not to mention he probably has a huge ego (no wonder Draco was like that in the books). :)

So beautiful. Made me emotional. Kudos. I'm stone cold, so it's hard to do that. lol. ;) Great fic.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

What a flirty start to our fest! I always love Dramione stories that nod at long-developed romance. And who doesnt love an old letter? Great job with the characterizations of the portraits as well =)

[lrthunder]

Thank you. I thought the portraits would add a nice touch to the story. :)

I really like the way you didn't interpret the prompt in the obvious way, but thought of something that's both very moving and, at the same time, slightly strange, and somehow absolutely typical of our odd couple.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
