Hi all, if you'd like to ad a chapter let me know. This thread was opened specifically for this purpose.
Also suggestions are welcome here as well.
I got a reprimand for adding a review on my own story.š
Naughty yes but aren't we all...
Hi Friends! I got a note from the moderators because my author's notes were too long! They suggested I reply to your reviews in the forums, so here it is. I don't believe you need to register to read the thread.
Review Replies for Tuition Money: Chapter 9, A Gathering of Friends
@staar: Wellā¦I guess youāll see how she takes the news. But I do think he responds to her in a way that shows his growing feelings for her. Thank you for the review!
@Dragon_Maiden: I hope you like this chapter as Ron, Hermione and Luna go to confront Harry. Thank you for the review!
@ General Crow: I loved your observation that āhaving just one person who will be there for you is the greatest thing you can ask forā. While I was writing this chapter I thought about that wonderful sentiment because itās really true, isnāt it? As for Hermioneās parents, Iām not sure where Iām going with them, but their story is far from over. Hermione desperately wants them in her life and Draco understands this, as he is in somewhat of a similar situation with his parents. Your review certainly gave me lots of food for thought, so thank you!
@Trelweny: Now Iām dying to know what your tattoo is! You really thought it out, much more than most, I think. After Sirius died, we saw an angry, belligerent Harry in JKRās books. I thought that after the war and the loss of Remus, Tonks, Fred and so many others, he would feel even more of those emotions in conjunction with the terror of fighting horrid Death Eaters and finally his terrifying battle with Voldemort. However, I donāt want him to become this pathetic, villain-y jerk, because I think heās a fabulous character. Luna may be someone who can help pull him from the darkness of his thoughts. Thank you for the lovely review!
@ MargeW76: Even for the most emotionally-mature of men, itās difficult to admit feelings of love, so I think the fact that Draco did it says a lot about his feelings for Hermione. Heās experienced betrayal and feeling used by those he trusted, so he can understand why sheās reluctant to reciprocate his feelings even though he thinks she might feel the same way. Thank you for reading and for the review!
@ sherlocked17: Poor Draco, his declaration of love was like a bucket of cold water on Hermione! So much for sexy, knicker-free time, hahaha!
@ Mocha Midnight: Love will not be simple for D & H, but they are getting closer. Thank you for the review!
@Malfoy'sgirl: Thereās more Luna in this chapter. She is different, but she has lots of character and fortitude and sheās smart in an unusual way, even for a witch. Harry talks a bit about his issues in this chapter, which I hope helps to take him further from the villain role. Thank you for the review!
@HarryGinny4eva: I always thought Luna was a brave character first because she wasnāt afraid to be herself even when others made fun of her, then because she made the choice to become an integral part of Dumbledoreās Army. Sheās a warrior in her own right. I thought that if anyone could deal with a depressed, somewhat unkind Harry, it would be Luna because she doesnāt put people in boxes. And Ginny having to end her relationship with her first love was hard, but I kept imagining hot Matthew Lewis as Neville and I didnāt feel so bad for her. Thank you for the review!
@ilariasantaniello: Questo Draco ĆØ dolce , non ĆØ vero? Egli non ottiene esattamente quello che vuole da Hermione , che ĆØ difficile per lui , ma lui la prende con grazia . Grazie per continuare a leggere e per le incredibili recensioni italiane !
@Lady_Valdemort: Hands down, that was the coolest review ever. I even showed it to my husband! As for Harry, I agree the possibility of him being quite damaged from the war is very real. For many years, Harry, Hermione and Ron were each otherās support system, but Harry changed that dynamic when he and Hermione began sleeping together and were similarly psychologically wounded. I can also imagine Harry being further depressed by trying to do the Auror training, but finding he didnāt have the rule-abiding qualities the Ministry of Magic seemed to propagate. He doesnāt fit into a mold anymore and heās adrift. I would love some visuals to go with this story! Your website is beautiful. Whatever you do would be SO appreciated.
@ aisukurimu: Happy New Year to you, too! I hope your year is filled with great stories, love and prosperity!
@Y: Iām glad you found the story. Itās very much a story thatās being written at my whim, but I am trying to update every week or so. Thank you for the review!
@Kayleigh: Thank you! This story has been fun to write and Iām glad youāre enjoying it. Thank you for the review.
A quick, limited compendium of words for sex (hehe, my first post ever)
Banging: Very rhythmic, pretty hard thrusts. Like pounding, can cause squeaking bedsprings.
Bonin(g): More amusing than the other words/phrases. May inspire giggles in readership.
Fuck: Typically hot, sweaty, and involving grunts. My preferred form of sex.
Having sex: When people walk in on a couple (or more) doing any of the other types of sex, this is how they report it to other people. "I saw John and Jane . . . having sex!"
Humping: Less thrusting, more . . .well, humping.
Make love: Soft, romantic sex. Sweet, usually done by candle light.
Pounding: Similar to screwing, very forceful and usually resulting in squeaks/grunts/other noises from the reciever. Can also cause squeaking bedsprings and banging headboards.
Screwing: Like fucking, but a little rougher, suitable for kitchen floors and public restrooms.
