aw. that was really cute. I think that i was quite a good little one shot and i hate one shots xD and i need to make this review take forever to irk this boy xD so
i like how Draco is still just the Draco we all know and love even though they are grown up and working in the ministry. It just makes him that much more loveable to think that he could act that way forever, no matter how annoying that might be to actually know lol.
i give the story a 10/10 lol
also writing this long review actually succeed in irking this thing. xD hahaha love the story

Hey AD! I'm here, finally, with your review, sorry it's taken so long!

Ok, this is a very entertaining story. I personally am NOT a Dramione fan, at all, but this was actually rather enjoyable. The banter between the two of them was very fun and light-hearted, with just the right amount of undertones. You have a good mix of description in here, enough so that I can picture the scene in my mind, but not too much, so it's still engaging to read.

You have a really good grasp on writing a light-hearted piece here, I'd like to see more of that style from you, honestly. You do it very well. There are a few minor grammar errors, but nothing big. You do miss out a few commas, and I suggest putting some in so that your sentences flow more naturally. Also there are a few spacing issues, which I assume are because you used the advanced editor when submitting this - no big deal, but if you use the simple editor you wouldn't have multiple spaces between paragraphs when they aren't really necessary.

Overall, well done :D.

Author's Response: Hey Giola!

I can always count on your for giving sweet yet honest reviews, thank you :)

I am glad you found it enjoyable despite of not being a DraMione fan, and even gladder that you actually gave this a chance :) Good to know that I can write light-hearted stuff well too - now that is something unexpected yet flattering!
Um yeah, the spacing issues always bug me, but hey thanks for the advice - I'll use the simple editor next time - and go through the fic once I've time and do the edits!

Thanks a lot for your heart-warming review! I am glad you liked this!

Cheers!

Aw this was so adorable and simple. I almost wish it wasn't a one shot. I liked it. It made me smile. :)

Hi! magnolia_magic here with your review!

This was a really fun read! Normally I'm not a fan of Dramione, but I enjoyed this one. It was fluffy and adorable, and I liked the intensity at the end.

Even though I loved the fluffy adorable-ness of this, I would have liked to see some more back story to go along with it. The background you gave was really good, but I wished there was a little more buildup to the romance between Draco and Hermione. Of course, I do understand that this is a one-shot, and the point of those is to focus on one particular scene. I just would really like to know more about how the two of them got to this point, since a romance between them is so unlikely.

Overall, I really enjoyed this. It's all very well-written, although my favorite part is the kissing scene at the end :) And it left me wanting more, so that has to be a good thing! Thanks so much for asking me to read it!

Author's Response: Hi there!

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I am glad you found it good =)

Hmm, I know, but as you said it's just a one-shot and I wanted to focus on their particular scene.

Thanks so much for your input anyway! And I am happy you found it nice and were left wanting more - that always makes me happy :D

I must say this is quite hilarious. I like the flow of the story. I think the ending of this one-shot is perfect.

Author's Response: Hey there! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! I am glad you liked it and found it hilarious, lol. and the ending was perfect to you. thank you once again! I am so flattered :)

This was a fun and interesting one-shot! I love how you did this as they aren't exactly together but yet at the same time the stroy line is going that way! I was wondering how you would incorporate your phase into this oneshot and you did it wonderfully it's a very imaginitive and brillient idea.. I don't think that I could have thought of that!

As a dramione you gave me the hopes of so much and to me you delivered! I like when they seem like they are going to be together but at the end of a oneshot still aren't, it kind of leaves the ending up to the reader so to speak. I like that their banter became more of a thing for fun then of hatred as they work together in the Ministry.

Altogether I think you have done a good job with this oneshot and I think that you have accomplished your challenge as well! Great Job!

I'm ba-ack :)

Scared yet? Oh I would be :) You have no idea how much I missed reading your stories.

This story is quite a gooden - Not that all your stories aren't good, cause they really are ^_^ - I like how you described Draco in this, *raises eyebrows* For me he was slightly OOC, but considering this is after the war, and he has grown up and moved along in hus career/future what not what not, its free range... So disreguard my OOC comment and move along.

I like how you added the French words into this little one-shot ^_^ it was very well done >.< && I love it

Congrats on another marvelous story miss Ange ^_^ xx

10/10

Love ~Karni. xx

Author's Response: Hey Karni!!

I totally love your reviews hon, why should I be scared? xD

Thank you so much, you always flatter me :)

Hmm, well about the OOC thing, as you said, it is post-war and well he has matured and plus he has a crush on 'Mione, haha so there =D

I am glad you liked it! thanks a ton!

Love you

I don't usually read Dramione fics, but this was so cute and fluffy. (Something I really can't write :P). I loved that this had third person pov, as I struggle while writing that too, so perhaps I'll be able to draw some pointers from this. :) It was fun to read and just about the right length. The characterisation was really good too!

Some CC? Hmm..there were just a few grammatical errors, nothing that can't be fixed, and they didn't distract me, so no worries. One thing I didn't like was the bold line in the middle. Perhaps it was an error in formatting? I don't know- it was just distracting.

But otherwise, a really enjoyable read! :)

Author's Response: Hey! I am glad you found this a good read especially since you dont read dramiones! And I am so flattered that you're taking pointers from my writing!

I will re-read and fix the grammatical errors if I find any, thanks for informing. And actually that line is bolded because this was a challenge entry and I was given that particular line to write my entry about so I had to bold it! Sorry if it was distracting!

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! =)

This is great! The only real problem is that I want more!!! Nice to see someone write Harry into something else other than the Ministry :) I love Dramione *sigh*.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I am glad you enjoyed it and actually want more! I kind of think Harry in the Ministry is quite typical so I changed. I love DraMione too xD

Wow! I actually liked this! I'm not really a Dramione fan, but when I saw your status I was like "Might as well take a look". I haven't been turned...yet, but I am definitely open to read them occasionally. :) I think what I liked the best was that it didn't happen at Hogwarts. It seems...more realistic after the war since Draco has changed. Thanks for writing this! Tell me the next time you have a Dramione! Maybe you can turn me ;)... :D Good job! 10/10

Author's Response: Hey there!! wow thank you so much for your review!! i am glad you liked this and found it quite nice and realistic. I do have a Dramione Novel WIP up already, it is after the war too, though takes place at Hogwarts. I am afraid it might be a little OOC but I still think it is pretty good.

I will let you know about any others though!

thanks so much for reading and reviewing!! I hope I can turn you one day =D

Hi there,

I'm glad you posted the link in your status update, because otherwise I would've never found this. I'm normally not a Draco/Hermione reader - complicated coward and buck-toothed bookworm just doesn't tickly my fancy - but I like this one-shot.

Yes, it's not realistic - because no, no matter what people say, it will never happen in a potterverse written by JKR - but you make it believable AND entertaining.

I noticed you have another Draco/Hermione up, so I think I'm going to give that one a go as well.

9/10

Love,
Danielle

Author's Response: hey!! thanks so much for reading and reviewing!! And I know its never gonna happen in canon, but then what is Fanfiction for :D

I am glad you found it believable and entertaining!! thanks a lot! and by the way I read your Blaise/Lavendar (from your status update)!! It is also something that could never happen in canon, but you made it so awesome and believable too =D

Anyways thanks a lot!!! And I am happy you're gonna give my novel a shot!!

thanks!

Hello there! I'm here with your review as requested. I want to apologize for the long wait. I've been in the process of moving across states and I also just started school, but I finally had the time to get around to this. And I'm so glad I did!

This was a very cute piece. I generally tend to not read the summaries of stories when people request because I like the element of surprise. I only read the areas of concern before clicking on the link. :P So I must say I was surprised when Draco and Hermione kissed! And it was a good surprise! I loved it. This was such an interesting take on a Dramione. Original and just lovely!

The dialogue they exchanged was dead on I thought. It sounded exactly like something Draco and Hermione would say to one another. So awesome job there. And I just loved the general atmosphere of this one-shot easy going and light even though they are contradicting one another. I think I even laughed at the dialogue in a good way! It was perfect and so enjoyable.

And then the kiss! Must say I was surprised, but that's brilliant. It's so hard to find an original Dramione these days. Even for one shots. But you pulled it off. This was wonderful! And you wrote the kiss perfectly. You put all the emotion, all the lust and need, into your words. I could feel how badly they wanted it.

Fantastic job! This was lovely. I'm sorry I don't have much CC for you, but that's because there really isn't much to say.

I saw that you also made a second request, and i will gladly do it, but my queue is currently backed up. So what I'm going to do is this: empty it out and then I will return for your second request. :)

Thank you for requesting! :)

Author's Response: Hey!!! Your delay is totally forgiven 'cause your review was just awesome! It totally made me smile! I am so happy you found this all good and sweet and in character! Thank you for giving your views on all aspects. It really means a lot to me!! I am glad you got no CC. I absolutely love it when people don't find anything to criticize in my story (though of course CC is always welcome), it just makes me happy. Thanks a lot for reading and giving such a wonderful review. I am glad you liked it!

No hurries for the second request! I am patiently waiting =)

Thanks once again.

cheers!

Hey there! I'm here with your requested review :)

I'm actually in this challenge as well, and with a Draco-centric story, so I was very interested to see what you had. The challenge just has oodles of potential, don't you think? :)

I really thought your use of the challenge phrase was well executed. It was great, using it as a response to Draco's rude comment. I also liked how you were able to convey a full and great scene in just a short little piece. That can be hard to do!

In my opinion, Dramione is a difficult pairing to execute effectively because it requires a lot of build-up and explanation or else Draco and Hermione no longer seem like themselves. I would have liked to see Hermione resist Draco a bit more in this piece, as opposed to using French pet names, but that's just a matter of personal opinion. If you really wanted to focus on the romantic moment, which is what it seems like, I would encourage you to consider adding in a bit more background about how Hermione had found it increasingly much easier to tolerate Draco's personality (which would be difficult for her to overcome, no matter how good-looking he was) over the past few months. As it is, her affection seems a little misplaced. In addition, Draco seems a little eager to me; he didn't even pay all that much attention to Pansy, who was already his girlfriend, when he was in school. It just seems like he's being a little forward with her, and that puts you in danger of falling into cliche-land. I hope all of that makes sense to you :) I hope my comments aren't offensive, by the way. I don't reserve a special hatred for Dramione, though it's not a pairing I personally ship; I just think adding these extra touches will help differentiate your story from the legions of Dramiones out there on the archive for people to choose from.

Your writing flowed very well, and I thought it was an interesting little one-shot. I also liked your use of imagery. Finally, I didn't notice any grammar, spelling or punctuation errors, which is always great to see :)

Nice work! Thanks for requesting a review, and I hope my feedback is helpful for you. Good luck with the challenge :)

Author's Response: Hey there! Thank you so much for the read and review =)

Oh yes, the challenge is brilliant =D

I'm glad that you liked my use of the phrase and found that I conveyed the scene nicely. Thanks!

I agree with you on this. However, one can only do so much in a one-shot. Though I did try and include a little explanation as I could in a few paragraphs on how things had changed after the war and how hermione and draco had quite fallen into a nice relationship of enjoying their banter rather than sounding like insults. I did include some info on the background however if it doesn't seem enough, I will surely edit this sooner or later. I will try and follow the pointers you gave me, thank you so much, and will improve the fic when I do an edit. I love DraMione though, and don't worry you weren't offensive at all. In fact your review was quite constructive and it is going to help me when I do the edit!

I am glad you found the flow, imagery and grammar good.

Your feedback is definitely helpful. Thanks a lot!!

cheers!
