Lol that was fun just to read. Sorry Nancy I've been gone for soooo long. Now at 5am I had absolutly nothing to do and I couldn't sleep so I decided to catch up on some of my favorite fanfics, and boy were there quite a few updated since I've been gone.

I just finished reading DH the other day, and I for one LOVED it. I was very sad that S.S. Harmony was sunk, but that didn't keep me from enjoying the book. I hope it didn't stop you either. I see its been quite a while since you have updated as well. We need good Harmony cheer now more than ever.

I look forward to an update for Hooligans, and Elemental Warfare soon... hopefully very soon, or at least a reply or e-mail, just a word on how you're doing.

Hope to hear from you,
- Kellie

hey. i'm kind of getting worried about you. i know that this time of year is busy, so i ask you only to drop me a line to tell me you're not dead or anything. (of course i wouldn't object to an update )so yeah. send it to the new email, b/c the old one is useless.

i read this chapter again, and i had forgotten how great it was. just wanted to let you know that.

as always if you need anything, don't hesitate.

ok, so i love you and everything, but this is kind of getting ridiculous. it's been almost 2 months since your last post. there's wanting to build up suspense and everything, but this is getting out of hand.

JUST TELL US WHO IS THE HOOLIGAN ALREADY!!!!!
*and make harry & hermione have a fantastic time at the dance. i want fluff, i want romance, i want to get a cavity from the cheesiness. (just kidding, but i really do want you to update.)

i hope everything is alright. i haven't heard ANYTHING from you in a while, and i'm kind of starting to get concerned. email me if you need ANYTHING, but use my new email attatched to this, if you don't mind.

i hope to hear from you soon

Brilliant! I love it! I have never read Ron's character displayed in such a way, nore Harry's, Hermione's, Blaise's, or Draco's. You have fitted the personality to the age, as well as the correct thinking. So Brava to you! Update A.S.A.P?

-Britt ^^

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Talk about WOW! First, yes of course you should have repeated the end of the last chapter. That was some amazing stuff!
I absolutely adored their time alone together. It was everything it should have been. But Harry, in true Harry fashion had to go and bungle things up. Certainly makes me thankful I was never a teenage boy. (being a teenage girl was hard enough, thank you very much) And then to have Ron hit him?!?! It was the only thing that was going to get through to him, but poor Harry! Well, kind of.
All in all, another great piece of story telling. I'm off to the next piece!!

i forgot to tell you like 3 seconds ago when i wrote that last update that i got a new email address. i think i sent you an email from it, but i can't remember.i will no longer be checking my old email, so can you send any recent (2-3 weeks) emails to my new address, which is connected here? if you can, you would be my hero forever.

thank you and keep writing. i prostrate myself at your feet of creative genius.

I LOVED IT! I LOVED IT! I LOVED IT! it was such a perfectly fitting prank. Not only that, but the identity of the hooligan has never been more maddening. just when i think i know, it turns out that i am wrong. i will say, however that i loved the little moment between harry and hermione at the end. we could definitely use a LOT more of those moments. have you thought any more about the dumbledore prank???

AND WHO IS TAKING HERMIONE TO THE BALL????
**talk about driving me crazy!!!!**
PLEASE HURRY AND WRITE MORE!! i don't think i can survive much longer without an update.

oh by the way, i read this the day it came out, but time has not allowed me to write a comment until now.

i can't wait to find out what happens next. keep up the good work!!! and as always, if you need anything, you know to whom you should come.

I'm a bad, bad girl for just now getting to this chapter. I apologize profusely and lay myself prone at your feet!
Now, as for what I thought of it... Another wonderful addition to this thoroughly enjoyable story. Poor Hermione. Someday Harry will get it right. LOVED Luna. She was perfect in her "Luna-ness". I feel like Harry a little bit though, I had to take a few minutes to digest what she was telling him. HAHA! That's just more proof that she was perfect.
Madame Hooch is my hero!!! Wow! Can't imagine any of the other teachers being like that. (and I always imagine Zoe Wannamaker when I read Hooch. They couldn't have cast her any more perfectly in the movies!)
Part II will have to wait a little while, but certainly not as long as it took me to get to this part.
You know I love ya AND your writing. (even if I was slacking as a reviewing friend - so, so sorry!) Keep up the great work Sweetie!!

I, for one, am enjoying this story. While yes, I do like the angst-ridden and more adventure type stories as much as the next person, sometimes fun can be, well...fun. And it's not as if this story is without mystery and angst, just not related to some great quest that may get lots of people killed and more on the lines of realtionships and personalities.

Oh and I have to comment on some of the reviews I've seen in response to your story who seem to decry a Draco that isn't evil and that Hermione might in any way bond with, even with an awareness that he's complete git (which he is) just not pure concentrated evil (which I don't think he is) in the book or this fic. And yet this is on a site devoted mainly to a ship that will never happen in the books, with side ships like D/G or R/L that will also never happen. Canon is that Harry will end up with Ginny and Hermione with Ron (and ack to both), Draco will probably end up dead, Luna will be glancingly mentioned as making radish earrings.

Which is not to say that the idea of keeping the characters in the spirit and charaterizations of the books, isn't an important one and a goal that good authors should aspire to here. But that shouldn't rule out things that are non-canon, as long as the progression within the fic are explained well and can possibly make sense within the new circumstances of the character.

So basically, I'm saying keep on keep on with this fic and a big rasberry to those whinging about how Hermione would never be nice to Draco and how Harry is so stupid and weak (which I don't think he is, I think he's a mixed-up teenage boy). But do listen to those saying to keep a closer eye on spelling and grammar. Dictionaries are a beautiful thing and loved and petted and called George.

I've really enjoyed this story so far, but there are a number of things that have been mentioned briefly and haven't been discussed at all since. Looking forward to seeing how they are tied into the story and what else is done!

Great chapter and interesting prank! It was very origional but I thought for a moment that the prank was the lack of dates. Why is Draco on Hermione's side and why was he in the common room? What was the meeting about? Did Hermione also get real quddich supplies? When is the dance? Can't wait for your next chapters! Best wishes!

Thank you for pointing out your story here. This chapter is certianly different than the one at fanfiction.net. Why is that? On to your next chappie! Best Wishes!

Boy this was a long chapter! I would love to see the impromptu Quidditch game like that in the movie! It would be fun! I thought your ending was interesting, it looks like Hermione has forgiven Harry for his indiscretions. Now lets see what happens between the two of them. I just want to know a few things: Why was Draco at the Gryffindor common room, and what was Nearly headless Nick practicing for? I can't wait to see what you write next. I enjoy your style of writing, as it adds great detail to the story! Keep it up!

I like the chapter. I like the prank. It was very well written. I hope you update soon.

I like this chapter. I like how Hermione and Harry kissed. I like the name of the chapter also.
