Thank you so much! I actually screamed and danced in my living room when I saw the results :)

Yes, I am planning to write more DHr. I've slowly been fleshing out the plot to a multi-chap, but the only thing really holding me back is that I haven't finished reading the books. I figured it was safe enough to write a drabble, but it would just kill me if I wrote something so obviously not canon without knowing it.

And frankly, drabbles are hard, one of the hardest writing forms, in my opinion.

This is really important to me, because drabbles are probably the only guaranteed thing I can write nowadays. I've always struggled with the opposite-writing anything longer than 500 words. I'll most likely start small and work my way up to epic, multi-chaps.

Thanks for the encouragement :)

This is everything a drabble should be, and I hope you try your hand at writing a full-length fic in the future. Update us if you do!

Thank you! I'll do my best at getting the multi-chap on its feet and dramione will be the first to know :)

D: !

That is so freaking hot. YOU are really winning me over to Draco. Write a few more of these little morsels and I...well I don't know what. BUT WHATEVER IT'LL BE I'LL LIKE IT.

I always imagine a story where they both end up being professors at Hogwarts and then you know what happens next. >;)

Also, Congrats!

Oh you ♥ You're already on the dark side-you love Lucius after all. It's just a hop skip away to where Draco is ;)

BUT WHATEVER IT'LL BE I'LL LIKE IT

I love your faith in me ♥ It bugs me that I'm finding it hard to set aside time for the books. I really should be done them by now, but whatever... I just want to be able to find all those moments where Hermione's not with Harry and Ron and Draco's unaccounted for. So many possibilities :)

I had to say that I really liked this drabble. It was the one that I voted for on that round, actually! :D It was an honor to tie with you for first place - though personally, I thought yours was better! ;)

Thank you very much :)

And I voted for yours ♥ I really wasn't expecting to win, especially after reading the entries. I'm honoured and glad to have tied with you as well. I remember reading the results and going 'atalanta84, atalanta84, atalanta84...sounds familiarHOLYCOW, she's Forgivem and Forget's author. Haha, that was an awesome moment.

Are you planning on entering again? They put up the signup posts just today.

Not sure yet. I usually don't sign up until I've actually written the drabble. But "surrender" is such an awesome prompt, I'm sure I'll be inspired at some point in the next 2 weeks before it's due!
