Thoroughly enjoying this story. I hope you feel inspired enough to write more. I am not sure that I am completely convinced by Hermione; I think that she is a little OCC but, it's your story so I should just read and enjoy it and maybe write the odd review.
Author's Response:Hermione's difficult for me to write, because sometimes I don't understand the canon version of her myself. But as I like to remind people, I'm not J. K. Rowling by any means, and I'm not perfect, either. I just enjoy writing and am in love with Draco / Tom Felton. :) Actually, I'm a little surprised that only one person to date has said McGonagall could have been more in-character. She's the hardest to write, I think, and when I watch Half-Blood Prince every so often, I have nervous giggle at the difference. Still, Hermione comes in a close second for my "Most Difficult to Recreate" award. ;)
With that said, I really appreciate you leaving a review. Thank you, angelface! I like your penname, by the way.
And the truth comes out. Well, I do wonder what McGonagall will have to say next. It seems like it's just one thing after the next for poor Draco and Narcissa.
Author's Response:Wow! Woah, I love seeing reviews, and this is just the perfect dose of them, if not a bit too many to reply to. But I'll certainly try. It's the least I can do in return, right? :)
I am really thrilled you like my story enough to review it so well! I can't put into words how much that helps me, even when the review isn't positive like most of yours were. I love the honesty, and I won't let your questions go unanswered.
With that said, though, I'm not so sure right now how I'll explain Hermione's awkward-ish line in 13 from within the story, so I'll tell you here and update the Author's Note at the end.
Ginny falling in love with Draco was speculation on Hermione's part, and I'd have to say what Ginny feels for Draco is still mainly sympathy at this point. But I assure you, that will change with time. :)
But Hermione, who thought Ginny really was falling for Draco so quickly, was sort of scolding her (albeit indirectly) for "replacing" Harry in her heart so "easily". Hermione still has a strong dislike for Draco, even though she doesn't hate him enough to let him die.
I hope that helps. :)
