All her brain could come up with -- poor dear. XD

Wasn't he supposed to be the villain here? -- silly Draco, don't you know you're a dashing romantic hero now? 8D

Where IS the line between a kiss and a snog? How do we determine where one ends and the other begins? WILL THE WORLD EVER BE THE SAME? DX

in typical Harry fashion, "Er." -- lol. XD Oh, Harry. XD

seating that idea at the table and asking it whether it would prefer one lump or two -- extended metaphor ftW! 8D

Maybe he could bribe another girl to hit her for him. -- there are not words for how hilarious this is. XD

"Stop speaking in moralistic code!" -- Parseltongue, sure, whatever. Martyrtongue? Come ON, Potter, English is there for a reason! -___

[marmaladefever]

As always, I am left in fits of giggles after reading your review. XD (You know I didn't start using that face until I met you? lol)

He is a dashing, romantic hero, now! lol

When I first started reading the Potter series, I found it incredibly odd that Harry always said "Er," whereas I would always say "Um." And then there was the whole Spy D Er thing in GoF...

It is an extended metaphor! It is! :D

Martyrtongue? rofl

You have been reading too much slash! That would have been, uh, more than unexpected if Harry had done that. XD

Thank you!!!

[tierfal]

I go through smiley phases. "XD" is coming back with a vengeance. XD

Perhaps Draco should do some Austen-related research...? XD

Hee hee, I laughed because it's so true! XD

Yeah, the second the thought entered my brain, I was like, "Waaaaiiit..." And I don't even read Harry/Draco! XD

You are welcome!!! 8D

[strawberrimelon]

Eeek! :DDD
Love it love it love it. :)

“Either ask her out properly and make it official, Ron knowing and all, or back off and leave her alone.”

I sense some False Dilemma rhetoric there. XD We just went over that in class the other day (again...).

[marmaladefever]

Hee hee. Yup. That's definitely a false dilemma. lol

I'm glad you liked it. :D

[red_erythros]

...in typical Harry fashion, "Er." HAHA. Oh, Harry. He's adorable.

I absolutely, absolutely adore this - Hermione and her confusion, Draco and his...er... search for what, or rather who makes him happy. Hee. This fic just makes me smile.

“Fine, then.” That particular muscle was pounding hard now, pumping blood at a spectacular rate, up to his head and down through his extremities in a fantastic pulsing rush. “I’ll ask her out.”
GO, Draco! *cheers* Finally. XD

[marmaladefever]

Isn't he, though? :)

Yay for smiles!

Oh, and yes, go, Draco, go!

[antipasto]

A.N.: Did you see that one coming?

Nope! But half the time I don't know what to expect with this story, you're keeping everyone guessing--or just me guessing, anyway. IDK. Anyway, I like that you made it seem as if Draco's got some bravery in him still after HBP.

Trouble with a capital T that rhymes with D that stands for Draco Malfoy.

Maybe it's due to the fact that I'm watching Gilmore Girls atm, but honestly, I can imagine Lorelai saying something like that. LOL.

Keep those chapters coming! Say, how long is this fic going to be anyway?

[marmaladefever]

Heh, at this point in time, I'm kind of keeping myself guessing too.

GILMORE GIRLS! <3 You get the Music Man reference, right?

I originally aimed for 80,000 words, which would leave me with about five chapters needed to reach that total. Somehow, I don't think I'll have it wrapped up nearly that soon, though. Oh well, it'll be nice having at least one long fic to my name!

[antipasto]

80,000+ words? That's a lot of words...how many have you got record now? And hey, you don't consider any of your fics "long"? That kind of makes me lol.

I'm afraid I don't get the Music Man reference just yet--I've seen half of S1, half of S7, and a lot of random (and I mean RANDOM!) episodes between. Whatever airs on cable TV, unfortunately. I'm planning on getting a few seasons within the next few months though.

[marmaladefever]

Right now it's up to 65,000 words (according to FF.net. I get different word counts at each site.) My longest fic was TWTW at 66,000. And by long, I'm referring to the fact that there are some fics out there that range from 150,000-300,000, and it would nice to at least get up to 90,000.

I don't think we're thinking of the same Music Man. I'm talking about a movie. lol Here:

I love this story so very much. ^_^ I have been behind 6 chapters. But now I"m almost caught up!

Fave line from this chapter:"She’d really rather not go over details with him. “Define ‘just let.’”"

Dunno know, but it made me laugh.

[marmaladefever]

I'm glad to hear it!

That's an interesting choice for a favorite line. lol :)
