Why does he not understand what she means by "okay"? He asked her to the ball right before she said that. Does he not know what the word "okay" means?

I'd like to think that Krum was shocked that she said yes.

Suthor? Fuck off about how Krum's shyness is amusing. I am horribly shy (to the point of near social anxiety) and I almost threw up when my boyfriend asked me out. Being shy is not fun, and it makes it worst when people like you make fun of us. I REALLY hope you were going for 'endearing' rather than 'amusing' or else I'll have to show you what your intestines look like.

The absolute, unadulterated, and disgusting arrogance has rendered me utterly speechless. I can't even comment on the Weasley and Hermoine bashing. I just hope Cedric escapes quickly so we can plan everyone else's escape.

*hugs and gives Christmas cookies* :D 'Tis the season! Maybe the Suthor can abandon the fic for a special Christmas present? XD

[zelda_queen]

Agreed on the shyness. That's why I got so angry over how flippant she was about guys asking her who never talked to her before. Yeah, I was one of the shy people, who had the worst times asking anyone out. When my boyfriend and I were starting off our relationship, we were together for, like, a month and I was still worried that he was just being a nice guy and I was misinterpreting it as romantic.

At least Cedric *does* go, unlike Rose Potter. It's an incredibly stupid way to go, though. God.

Thank you! :D Lord, I do hope so. Probably not, but maybe the sporking will be caught up by then.

*hugs you* You deserve all the hugs in the world for doing this. You do.

Y'know, at first I was just annoyed with this chapter, ignoring the self-aggrandising by proxy (if such a term even exists :p) for the utterly horrible writing. Was there this many fragments at the start of this story? I don't think so. And the suethor has the gall to say that her writing has actually improved?

For example, THIS:

Causing her eyebrows to lift to heights never before seen as person after person approached her with the hope of the Yule Ball dancing in their heads.Just... what? That just sounds so STUPID

[zelda_queen]

I think the suethor thinks that the fragments make her sound more professional. It's just annoying

[turtlecrackers]

So I got angry when I read about Holly pretty much going "Ho-hum, I better find a date for the dance. But who shall I pick? There's no one here that's good enough for THE Holly Potter, after all." No nervousness, no "what-if-he-says-no" jitters, no nothing. Just plain, obvious entitlement. I would have raged loudly if I had been home alone.
If it's no big deal, just ask someone and then you don't have to deal with the peons boys trying to ask you out. But oh, I forgot. Then you can't get Krum to ask you out. How silly of me

[zelda_queen]

"Come to think of it, it's just like what your Sue and her friends did to poor Ginny after she made that clumsy attempt to befriend Holly."

And Colin Creevy, don't forget about him, the poor kid.

Yes, they still are going like that over her. I swear to God, I hate that card. It was a key point of Harry's character that he disassociated himself from that title as much as possible, and the Sue just keeps lapping it up.

Thanks! Not much more, thankfully.

[turtlecrackers]

Oh yes. Poor little Colin. D= I remember that Harry was a bit annoyed with the attention he constantly got from him, but he was still nice to the kid. He certainly didn't rally up all his friends to torment the poor boy for daring to speak to The Great Harry Potter.

I hate it too. I really liked that Harry just wanted to be Harry, not Harry Potter, the Boy who Lived, Voldemort's Bane and the People's Shining Star of Hope etc. If Holly had been canon, it would never have been popular. It would have been Twilight with magic.

*applauds* I Agree with this So much

[anonymous]

I have to applaud you. I stopped reading the actual fic around the time I got to Holly's self-aggrandizing about getting so many dates (and kind of threw up in my mouth that was disgusting). Getting through the rest of that was truly a feat.

I mean wow. Even Rose Potter didn't disgust me this much (maybe because Rose Potter's actual writing was bad enough to be amusing; Holly's actual writing is so mediocre that the content shines through with the full force of its OOC horror). I mean wow, that was just... there are no words.

*salutes*

[zelda_queen]

I know, Rose Potter had the narm to laugh at. This is just...blah. At least Keiran knew enough to focus on the action.

Thanks!

[miyuko_matsuda]

*Beats up Holly* okay i`m happy again,but YOU BITCH STFU ABOUT THE WEASLY`S!!!!!!!!!!!!!*beats up Holly again*

[zelda_queen]

*applauds* Well said!

[miyuko_matsuda]
