Poor Hermione! This is well done, made me angry because she seems so trapped! In addition to "Convenient" I think another title for this vignette could be "Caged" -Would be interesting to read Malfoy's POV on the situation (wink wink, nudge nudge) -- :)

Ahh..Caged would've been a good title. :P Too bad I hadn't thought about it. :P

And ah. Erm. Probably not. Maybe a continuation of this though, but not like from his POV. I don't know. :P

Oh yes, this story screams for a follow up or a companion piece. It really would be interesting to know Malfoy's thoughts on what is occuring. If you don't want to do it from his POV, then maybe he and Hermione should have a talk or discussion; or maybe could overhear a conversation?

Now that my shameless begging is out of the way.... I just felt for Hermione while reading this. The shear alone-ness she seems to feel, just eats at me. I think both titles 'Convenient' and 'Caged' fit here, because she is both She's a conveniet wife, there but for no other reason than to serve the Malfoy name, and that name has caged her tighter than any jail cell would.

lol. I take it you like it? Sort of?

And, I don't know if I'll ever write a sequel or anything like that to this. I think its harder to do that, when its a story such as this, because I don't want to continue on the angst, and I feel that if I were to write a sequel in which they are all 'oh, I love you!' 'i love you too!' and other fluffy stuff, it would like, take away from this piece, if that makes any sense?

this was nice..poor hermione, hopefully her child wont be like draco and she can just live in a happy sort of bliss with her baby. :(

reetinkerbell January 27 2006, 07:35:48 UTC

Of course. :P

Who do you take me for? :P

a mean mean girl who likes to make hermione sad
:(
shame on you. lol

reetinkerbell January 27 2006, 15:50:02 UTC

I'm not mean!

Ok. I totally am. But don't tell anyone. Its funnier if they figure that out on their own. Hehe.

Love. Much love.

I, too, am going to shamelessly beg for a companion piece. Not necessarily a continuation, because I agree with you that it would take away from this story. But maybe something? Just a little something?

Pretty please?

reetinkerbell January 28 2006, 07:30:56 UTC

lol. I'll try? :P

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

You made me feel very sad. Great writing. You made me feel sorry for both Hermione and Draco. It seems as though he is as unhappy as she. I don't usually go for "just angst" with no reprieve, but this fic was worth it. Well written. Thanks for sharing!

reetinkerbell February 3 2006, 10:59:06 UTC

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it, despite the angst. :P I usually don't like those kinds of stories either, yet I've written two now that are like angst through and through. :P Oddness.

Anyway, again, very glad you liked it.

I'm sorry I made you sad.
