I always like reading Draco's POV, but I wasn't sure how well I'd do at writing it because the only other male (not counting Harry) that I've ever written (Glee's Puck) is very different. He's fire versus Draco's ice. So, I'm glad you think I'm doing well with him. Draco will of course have his revenge here and there for Hermione enjoying his misery, as you can probably tell from the very tiny final segment of this chapter.

I think that being gently led to a conclusion gives it that much more impact than having someone just come right out and say it. Plus, I think that would be Luna's approach. She just doesn't strike me as the kind to just bluntly set someone straight.

I hope I handle it well. I don't want it to turn into Ron bashing, but at the same time, you are seeing it from Hermione's POV and she'll see his faults clearer than her own. I hope to keep it within the problems that would seem natural in their relationship (so, no abuse because I don't really think Ron would ever hit Hermione unless it was because he was dancing or something-I don't see Ron as being a graceful dancer).
