Eris Night

Creative Hiatus!!! AMMIC is on hold until further notice so that I can finish the story completely before risking posting a single chapter and missing an important portion of the plot. 26 has been a bit difficult because the Valiant are proving to be much more devious than even i imagined! So bear with me and you will be rewarded with an epic conclusion!!!

Victoria 9/6/13 You and me both! It was like the greatest thing ever to FINALLY be able to tie up that plot point! Its been in the making for over 20 chapters lol and I'm so glad that Draco is getting recognized for the amazing things he's done. Blaise leaving depressed me and I miss his character arc already. He was a brilliant addition to the work and I'm hoping he can find his way back to them. But what a beautiful way to go. I hope you like the wedding night and if you dont thats ok! Please let me know what you think either way, I'm kinda sure its not what you would expect haha. LadyFireCrab 9/9/13 I know right lol! But the good news is that they've got their shit together so we FINALLY get to have some awesome Dramione moments uninteruped by stupidity on either of their parts! Lol Thank you for reading and reviewing!! Brioche 9/9/13 Lol yup... haha, that chapter would have been ridiculously long other wise but I'm sorry haha!!!! I hope 25 more than makes up for it! Eris!

EEvans 9/5/13 Lol well I fully intended for him to make up for his first proposal this entire time lol. Poor Draco received such flak for his barebones proposal in comparison to Ron's but it paid off and this second one was truly perfect:) I know what you mean though, I was dying imagining them in the garden together AHH so cute haha! I'm assuming you'll see this after you read the new chapter so you'll know, no such luck lol Hermione is kinda slow sometimes but i think it turned out well:) Draco is no longer taking her for granted and they love eachother more than anything! <3

HarryGinny4eva 9/5/13 I know right! I swear I get anxious when I don't update, you should see me writing on whatever medium I can when im out and then typing it all up first chance I get haha. But yes 25 is here now too and hopefully 26 wont be too long of a wait. And I know what you mean lol, they couldn't go on without discussing what the hell was going on between them. It was completely necessary but it made for a happier outcome.

CuppaTea 9/5/13 LOL well 25 is the shortest chapter in a long while and so I think you'll have a shorter time of it on your phone for the next go around. No promises for 26 though:) I figured everyone expected a wedding attack but that was kinda Bill and Fleur-ish so I've got something entirely different planned:) You are pretty damn observant if I do say so myself but I won't discuss anything more about it:) Thank you for reading and taking the time to review! I really appreciate it!

Aranel 9/5/13 hahahaha:) Yes it is lol but not in the way I think anyone is expecting. I'm pretty sure they expect a nice slow and gentle time and for Hermione to fess up lol. well think again lol, I kinda like their sex alot better than the typical slow virgin sex:) I couldn't really imagine Ginny nor Ron there though. I mean sure Hermione missed Ron but she got over it just as quickly. And I know right!!! I kinda wish I could write him back in. Blaise is an amazing character but the law is the law and better in Italy than potentially Azkaban. There is a scene in the next chapter I think you'll appreciate though:) Eris

Colao 9/4/13 Lol I can appreciate your enthusiasm, I try my best to update but life is busy. Here's to hoping I can finish this up sooner rather than later:) MargeW76 Thankyou! I know this update took a bit longer than expected but I'm trying lol. Here's to hoping 26 is finished quicker!

Guest Shaymars 9/5/13 I know! I figured everyone had pretty much forgotten about the fact that he did have to go but hopefully we'll see him again someday! The wedding night scene was actually pretty difficult out of them all. I had to reread the entire story and figure out just how the characters would deal with it. Hermione is no longer the bashful woman that she once was. So it was a challenge lol. I'm kinda relieved I finished it though, now onto the good times! Draconis 9/8/13 I'm glad you like it!! Any wedding planned by Narcissa was bound to be beautiful but I really liked the whole scene as well. I'm thinking Chapter 25 won't disappoint, although I'm pretty sure it won't be what anyone was expecting.

Update! I'm still working on chapter 24!! It will be posted soon!

Charlotte 8/29/13 Don't feel pathetic lol! I do the same exact thing when I read! I've just had the worst luck ever as an author haha. Usually updates are in fact 3 to 4 days apart and that will resume starting today for certain. Considering they are over 10000 word chapters its unlikely that they will be sooner and so if you check back within that time frame you wont have to check all the time lol:) My friends laughed at me too but then I got them all hooked on HP FF and so now we're all update stalkers together lol. Convert them! But lol overall I'm glad you like this work! I'm super excited about it too and I'm like so amped to finish it now that I've got a new computer to do so! As for Ginny and Ron, you are not alone. Most people who are partial to him absolutely hate my characterizations and Weasley bashing and I'm alright with it. For this work it was necessary but there might be some form of redemption in the works for them:) I'm working on the Christmas eve and Christmas's now and i don't think it will be what you expect:) Evil laugh haha, I very rarely give the readers exactly what they want but by the end of the chapter i think it will all have concluded itself really nicely:) The nickname thing is really just another separating factor between the friendships for Hermione. Her parents know her most personally and so they have a nickname. Harry and Ron are kind of a special segment of her life and so they shorten her name to "mione" "My-nee" or just the ending of her name. I wanted to show the varying levels of the kind of relationships she has with the people in her life. It even serves to highlight that its crazy for Ron, someone close enough to her that uses even a nickname treats her the way he does. Really I just wanted to include another indicator of depth with her relationships with the other characters. This ultimately helps to make the moment when Draco stops calling her Granger all the more special. But yes! Lol I hope you see this entry soon and continue to discuss the work with me!! I loved your review!! I've read it like 3 times now and your enthusiasm gets me amped! Thank you! Eris:) Moody Savage 8/31/13 Muahahaha! Exactly lol! We'll get that in this chapter! Let's see how Draco handles it:) MargeW76 9/2/13 Lol I wish I could say the suspense was intentional lol but of course not, just me being silly and ruining my own laptop! So i'm gonna work my fingers to the bone to try and update today!! Hope you like it:) Anon 9/3/13 Lol fair point! I'm sorry haha! I'm working on it now:) I spilled hot cocoa on my laptop and ruined it simultaneously losing the entire chapter as well. So i'm rewriting it from the beginning and will do my best to update today! Just so you know updates will be every 3 to 4 days so that way you don't waste your time checking back before then:) Thank you for reading and the review!! Eris:)

Discord The Lunatic 9/3/13 LOL that's definitely the lesson. I'm 22 and I actually cried lol. I lamented the loss as though someone important to me had died haha, I was really far in chapter 24 and of course when i went to resume it from google drive the story hadn't saved itself. sigh. so here I am starting over lol

Slytherin Enchanted 9/2/13 Lol I know right! I've been rereading on my phone since that was the only thing I could do but I broke my own laptop by spilling hot cocoa on it and had to wait until I got paid to buy a new one. So everything is ok but I'm super behind on the work which is terrible haha. I'm just glad no one has threatened me I'm super glad you're enjoying the story and i'm looking forward to a rousing conclusion:) Thank you for your review and concern!! PS!! Afterthought! And yes this is the first story that i've ever posted anywhere:)

Shaymars 9/1/13 I spilled hot chocolate on my laptop last week and writing the chapter on my phone has been horrible!! I had to wait until I got paid but I just bought a new one yesterday and so i'm typing up all the parts of the chapter 24 that I wrote on paper and putting them into the word document now. My laptop breaking threw a huge kink in my plan and I didin't have access to another one. But never fear lol, 24 WILL be up by tonight! I will not sleep until its up haha:)

Draconian 8/26/13 I know right, Ron was doing sooo well until his true colors shown through. I'm glad you liked it:) I wanted to highlight Draco's devotion to Hermione despite the uncertain nature of their relationship. He tries his best to hold it together and give her the space he needs and as you can see he's damn well near his breaking point on that Friday after the lunch to the point where he is begging her to accept him. Draco has done so much growing from the man he was months ago and it's all loves influence:) I definitely adore him! But yea I've had this whole thing set up for a while:) Hermione is brilliant but sometimes she needs a push and I wanted to have something definitive that would make her drop all her reservations and just go for it:) Saving her mom definitely qualifies:) I've been writing Chapter 24 all day and I'm so excited! Yay they are finally together!!!

Kthrnlxndr 8/26/13 You're Welcome! I actually really love writing this fic and it's such a relief when I get to update:) Hermione knew where her heart wanted, which was exemplified by the fact that the very same night Draco asked her she wanted to say yes. But being the brainy over thinking witch that she is, Hermione couldn't just agree without saying yes. That time she spent with Ron only helped to further solidify why he wasn't right for her which in turn helped to quell any possibly future doubts she had about her choice. Yes Draco got the short end of the stick having to wait but by being completely focused on her, he proved his devotion and further helped her to ultimately confirm that yes choosing him was the right thing And GAHHH when i read your last part I was just like "YES I COULD HAVE" lol... 23 chapters and i totally could have ended it lol and given myself a break to write new chapters but oh well I'm in the long haul now haha, I'll keep that in mind for my future works! But that was an amazing idea:) Thank you for your review!! Eris:)
