worth the waiting! Think the characters are reallistic, just think Herm should have more moral conflicts about Malfoy...or maybe that's still to come! ;)

Author's Response: I'm happy people haven't given up on me.. but the long wait was mostly my beta's fault. :P you shall see another side of Hermione next chapter.. hope you like it :) and just hang on there!

Hello there, this is your requested review from _xDraco.

Firstly, I'd like to apologise that this has taken a few days, but I've been rather busy.

Moving on; in your request you asked me to focus on grammar, story flow and characterisation, so I will comment on them in sections.

Grammar;

There are a several grammar mistakes throughout this chapter, so I will go through them now (all mistakes are mentioned in chronological order).

When the letter is delivered to Hermione you say 'The letter that the owl brought was not at her feet and read...'. Do you mean 'not at her feet', because that doesn't really make sense? You could say 'lying at her feet' if you so wished.

When Hermione is talking about ending the relationship, you say 'but did they really have do end everything like this?'. I think you mean 'to'.

You then go on to say 'Well, she was going to rip him apart, leaving without a cent'. There are two things wrong with this; firstly, as Hermione is British, she would say 'penny' not 'cent'. This isn't a criticism against you if you live in America, or another country which uses the Dollar, but Hermione definitely wouldn't. Following on from this, as she is talking about Ron, who would use the Wizarding currency, she would be leaving him without a Knut, not cent or penny. Also, there should be a 'him' before the 'without'.

In the sentence ''Of course Mione. What is it?' you could hear panic rising in Charlotte's voice'', 'you' should be capitalised. Also, the pronoun 'you' shouldn't really be used. 'You' is used when a story is written in the second person, whereas this is written in the third. What you should say is 'Hermione could hear...'.

'After the war ended Draco had been proved that he wasn't a death eater anymore and had become a lawyer in the wizard world'. In this sentence, several things need changing. Do you mean that Draco had proven that he wasn't a Death Eater, or had someone else (i.e. the Ministry of Magic) proven that he wasn't? If Draco had proven it, you need to put a 'had' in front of 'ended'. If you mean that the Ministry had proven it, you should say 'it had been proven that Draco wasn't a Death Eater.' You then need to put a comma after ended. Also, it should be 'Wizarding World' not 'wizard world' and 'death eater' needs capitalised. So, the sentence may end up reading like this; 'After the war had ended, Draco had proved that he wasn't a Death Eater anymore and had become a lawyer in the Wizarding World.'

When you say 'Through his job he gained a good reputation', you need a comma after 'job' and could then say 'he'd' or 'he had', although this isn't vital.

In the sentence ''Mr. Malfoy?' his secretary miss Blackwell popped her head around the door'', both 'his' and 'miss' need capitalising.

When Draco asks his secretary whether he is free next week, she replies Yes, you do sir.' This should be 'Yes, you are Sir'. If you want to say 'Yes, you do Sir', Draco should ask if he HAS any free time, not IF he's free. Also, 'sir' needs to be capitalised.

Similar to this, Hermione asks Charlotte if she's free to meet in the bar, and she replied 'Yes, I do...'. Again, this should be 'Yes, I am.'

In the very last line you say, ''Bye, see you tonight!' there was nothing that could make Hermione more happy right at that moment''. 'There' should be capitalised.

Now, although there seems to be a lot of things I've mentioned, most of them are minor things and more still are just lack of capitalised letters. Although these don't seem to be of great importance, after a while it can really disrupt the flow of your writing. If you didn't use a BETA, may I suggest that you look into using one in the future? I think they could really help you just iron out a few mistakes.

Having said all that, your spelling was perfect throughout, so well done.

Characterisation;

I feel that despite the fact that Draco is now reformed, you managed to keep him in character very well. I particularly like the line 'Even though he was a better person, old habits die hard and there was still arrogance left within him.' I think this captures the person who he's become, and the person he once was perfectly.

However, I'm slightly concerned with how quickly Hermione decided upon revenge. Baring in mind that she'd only found out that Ron wanted a divorce that morning, the fact that she was arranging a lawyer the same afternoon is somewhat unbelievable. That's by no means saying that she wouldn't want revenge at some point, but she would first have to go through the grieving process. Perhaps if you said something like 'Hermione stared at the letter that she had received over a month ago, and it read *whatever it says*. She had finally decided upon suitable payback'. Obviously, I'm sure you can think of something better to say than that, but you get the idea.

Story flow;

In terms of the flow of the chapter, it is always clear what was happening and who the chapter was focusing on, be it Draco or Hermione. So congratulations with that; there is nothing more annoying that reading a story that does nothing but confuse you.

If you feel there is something I haven't mentioned, don't understand a point I've made or have a question, please feel free to PM me. Thank you for requesting! :)
