So, what ar eyou doing up at this hour? ::looks at clock and tries to calculat eyour time:::: erm... ok, maybe it's not that late for you... It's almost 5:30 here...

Anyways, I think you did a great job with this chapter. The little things you did to describe Draco; hands harshly through his hair, morbid curioust (about presents), cracked a grin (really like he cracked it, since I rarely think of canon-Malfoy smiling nicely)...

Again, I love the descriptions you use.... With your writing, I can usually see the story before my eyes!

Yeah, my sleeping schedule is so fucked. It's 3:30 here. Bleh. What are YOU doing up at THAT hour? Heh.

Thank you dear! First feedbacker always has a special place. I can't really think of canon!Malfoy smiling nicely either.. unless it's a "pleased" nice which still isn't exactly nice, you know? Yeah, I'm rambling. But really, thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. :)

Before I go into hiding, thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Hope you don't mind the shock look on my face after reviewing ch. 10 on Schnoogle last night and come here this morning to find that ch 12 is up.

:O <--this is my shocked face. My happy shocked face :D

ANYWAY. Proper review. I love Hermione's MESS THING notebook. She seems to have a weird way of naming things. SPEW: honestly, who'd want to join a house-elf society when it's named SPEW?

Ugh, just when we think we finally understand Draco, he goes and backs away from everything. Poor Hermione. He'll come around sometime, I'm sure. He's just not used to this whole friends and trust issue, especially with her.

“You’re not a Weasley,” he stated. “You damn well don’t need to preserve the wrapping for future usage so just rip that bloody thing apart.” Sounds so much like me telling this to my parents. My grandparents take FOREVER, but they have en excuse for that. They grew up during the Depression, what do you expect?

“Sort of like a huge, distorted grape.” Draco and his 'compliments.' Fungus and now distorted grapes. LOL! :D *hugs ( ... )

Hey, that's funny. I caught two out of the three of the mistakes you caught right before I checked your comment. I actually didn't notice that comma/period thing.. which was the most obvious. Wtf? LOL. Thanks. :P

Oh, even my parents would take their time unwrapping presents. They're so funny sometimes, it totally reminded me of Draco the way I'd get impatient with them so of course I had to incorporate it. But yayyy thank you for the rest. I tried to give it a more Christmas-sy feel, but you can't lose all the tension, can you? Again, thanks. And glad you liked the mistletoe too. ;)

*gives Draco a hug also* <3

ah I agree, can you make them kiss already?!! but ı was so scared that they would kiss under the mistletoe, because I'm kind of a girl that thinks their first kiss should be sudden and passionate :) not sweetly under a mistletoe :) but they were nearly kissing, and that made me squee! :D

and the lake scene was awesome :) I thought he would took her and pushed into the lake too :)) but they, standing alone near the lake, the view to my eyes was perfect :) I loved it :D

and about hermione talking and/or nearly kissing draco this much.. maybe you should make us see how she is seeming for the other side? I mean she can't be this muchly seen talking to herself, or kissing the air, right? :)

and oh, I so wanted draco to give her something, but who knows, christmas is a long holiday :)))

and in final, I'm so happy that you updated :D

What's up, icon twin? ;)

Oh no, another "kiss!1!1!!" fan. Oops. Yeah, I'm the kind of girl who wanted her first kiss to be a movie-style one to perfection. Le sigh. But yay, I'm glad it made you squee!

Aww the lake scene was nice to write, so I'm also glad you liked that. :)

Yeah, I make sure Hermione is alone most of the time. The mistletoe scene was in the empty hallways and they jumped when Seamus, Ron and Dean came out, you know? And when she was opening her presents, she was in a far off corner of the common room. Other than that, Hermione doesn't seem to care too much because the school thinks she's gone a little crazy already. *wink*

Ooh, a present from Draco eh? ;) We'll see.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, dear!
