Another great chapter, i really enjoyed Harry and Ginny joking about Viktor Krum. Also, I thought Ron might fly to the girls window while out on his broom, as Hermione seems to be keeping a low profile. Can't wait to read on, please update again soon.

Author's Response: Thanks so much! :D I'm glad you liked the Viktor bit - it's sort of embarrassing when I'm the only one laughing at my own jokes ... ahem ... anywho ... :p I didn't think of the broom in time, but I think you'll like this way anyway. :)

I do hope you have Ron fly up the girls' staircase. The founders really weren't too clever- if the boy's fet don't touch the staircase, it won't turn into a slide.

Author's Response: lol. This is very true ... I'm not sure why I didn't think of a broom before ... hmmm. :p Oh well - hopefully you'll enjoy the next chapter anyway! :D

This fic is great! I always like reading about two people arguing who I know will end up together. It's the same with James and Lily in the marauder era. Having said that, I think what Ron said is dispicable and felt like knocking his head clean off as opposed to just cuffing him like Ginny did. He'd better have a damn good apology planned. Isn't it awful when people purposefully hurt each other just to see how much they care? Anyway, I can't wait to see what he says to make things right with Hermione, so please update soon, please.

Author's Response: Hey, thanks so much! :D I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how Ron was going to dig himself out of this one. And yes, I agree - it is awful when people hurt each other on purpose. Don't worry though, he'll fix it. :)

I hope you continue the piece soon!

Author's Response: Thanks! :D I've actually had the story finished for awhile, but this last chapter is having a hard time finding its way out of the que! lol. Soon though! :)

That was very well-written. It seemed like it could have come out of Half-Blood Prince.

Author's Response: Woo-hoo! That's what I was going for - thank you! :D

Is there more!?
Brilliant!

ooo, that was cute. I want to hear more!

Author's Response: Yay - thank you! :D I'm glad you liked it. :)

cute :)

Author's Response: Aaaw, thanks! :D

Hi Kaitlin,

Adorable one-shot you have here, not fluffy at all, just pure fun!

Your dialogue is crisp and droll. “Look, Hermione,” he said, feeling slightly annoyed, “is there something the matter or have I just got a giant bogey hanging out my nose that you’re afraid to tell me about?”

Hermione’s mouth hinted at the start of a smile, but quickly changed to concern.

“Harry,” she began, looking him straight in the eyes, almost pleadingly. “Are you…? I mean, you … Harry, you are being careful, aren’t you?”

Harry blinked at her.

“Well, I just … you know it’s just that Ginny, of all people, knows —“

Harry bumped his knee so hard underneath the table that his ink well nearly spilled.

“- how dangerous relying on a book can be,” she finished, clearly pretending not to have noticed this painful reflex.

Goodness, I laughed aloud over this one. And your last lines are just as good, too. Very Trio-worthy.

Hmm, for nitpick, I guess I can point out that you should use a period before adding a sentence not related to the character's speech. As in this one:

“She did a fairly good job of that when she wasn’t angry,” he chuckled.

Here, 'he chuckled' should be 'He chuckled' after a period in "...when she wasn't angry." Chuckling isn't speech, after all. It's a different verb altogether.

But I hope you don't mind my one criticism, hon, I am tasked to be thorough, that's all. The trick is to gobble the praise and savor the nitpick. And see, I found only one. You did a wonderful job. Write more!

Author's Response: Hey! :D No, I don't mind at all! Thank you so much - I appreciate your criticism! I won't get any better if I can't improve something, right? :)
