But... but...

GOD DAMMIT MAN WE WERE SO CLOSE. I mean really, Zachie, you're so lucky that she's completely in love with you and shall forgive when you come back later and grovel, but. ARGH.

Also, totally not the gentlemanly thing to do tho push her out of her own bed.

Also, girls totally imagine sex with pretty snarky boys, you big lame, what else do you think we do with our time?

Loves for you Aimee! Updating = total brownie points.

Hahaha, on Zacharias' part, it was an accident and she is a clumsy bint.

Hopefully more brownie points?

[annemjw]

Many, many more. So many more that I'm even going to take a break from my essay writing to read it.

That was so real, a lot better than those stories where everything's all rainbows and butterflies after best friends sleep together. :|

Thanks Caryl. I really appreciate that.

Next part up now.

*cries*
so sad :(

[glisteninggold]

I'm sorry :(

I am actively trying to make you cry.

I kept seeing this fic and thinking, 'Hey that looks really interesting! I should read it when I have time!" And then I realized I would never 'have the time' and must read it NOW.

So I did.

And it's brilliant. And you are made, MADE, of win. I love the switching first person perspecives and the drama and the snark and the silly, wonderful, addictive pairings that make absolutely no sense but are brilliant and fantastic and true to the characters anyway.

And your Seamus and your Lavendar and your Blaise and Susan and Pansy and Trio Muck Ins and the mystery I can't figure out because I'm bad at mysteries like that.

(Though, one can't help but wonder where characters like Neville and Luna are. Do they perhaps get cameos later on?)

[glisteninggold]

I'm glad you read it, and even more glad you enjoyed.

(and I'm a terrible person and realised I haven't mentioned Neville once, although there's Luna explanation in The Next Chapter.)

Ooh very nice. I like this chapter, it was really raw and real, but sad. :( Poor Lavvie! I did think Zachy was a little rebound-y, although if he was drunk (lol) and had been apparently falling for her without knowing it, it's more understandable. CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER WHICH WILL BE FULL OF AWKWARDNESS I AM GUESSING. :DDD But of course I shouldn't make presumptions, you're the magicmaker in this loffly fic!!!

Okay I'm rambling, ignore me. :D Thanks for another lovely chapter!! Seriously, this is the only good fanfic I'm reading now. *hugs*

Haha, I think you may hate me for This.
