AHHH My Author Friend Paramour!
I'm glad you liked it!! The cancer thing has been 20 chapters in the making lol. I knew for a while now that this is how I wanted her to accept him. The early chapter clues were of course Draco having cured cancer and was Hermione missing Ron's birthday because her mother was sick.
I victory dance whenever one of my plot points gets completed lol. You should see my word documents, my notes document has a TON of little things I have to finish up lol and so i'm like spending today re-reading the entire work and then continuing because everything is about to fall into place.
My current goal is 30 chapters with an epilogue lol. I don't want to go past that but I also don't want to rush the action lol, so wish me luck haha.
Super excited about your review and waiting patiently for Daylight:)
Eris

This all explains alot and clears up everything for me! I love how Draco is educated past Hogwarts and actually applies his knowledge in his daily life. He's so cool<3
and HELL YEA lol:) I'll totally be the girl Harry cheated on Ginny with! I didn't make the connection because I pronounced it different in my head but now I'm super excited lol! haha that's so awesome!!!
I can't wait until chapter 11!
Eris:)

Eris- When you mentioned the Luis thing, I showed it to my husband, and oh how we laughed. You know Luis is based off my husband, and he just thought Hermione was confused at his attire, but men never understand their own sexiness when they are all sweaty. The UST is killing me too! I want them together already! But alas, it will be near the end of this coming chapter, I should think. I'm running behind schedule as of late and haven't really written the next chapter. Hopefully I will post tomorrow. I certainly hope this will be a happy ending too. Maybe Harry will leave with a better understanding of the real world and not the one created for him by the public. You'll have to wait to find out!

Guest- Thanks so much for your review! I am such a curious person, I always want to know what people are thinking! Plus, reading reviews helps me re-examine the characters and their motivations through the eyes of others. I will often read through reviews when I'm stuck and suddenly I know what is going to happen next. It's weird. Thanks again!

I repeat woman. You are evil! Very evil! I just finished 9 and reviewed it haha:) Keep up the amazing work!

Eris- certainly hope Draco is too hot to handle! Hermione is very honest with her attraction to Draco, to herself and to him, but she's still not fully prepared to screw him on an emotional level. I'm going to post Ch. 9 today, and (sadly) no sexytimes yet. Some loose ends have to be wrapped up and she comes to the realization that maybe she isn't as ready to fall into bed with him as she thought. A one night stand is one thing, but he has been bluntly honest with his interest in more than that from her. Muahahaha, I am so evil, I know. Such flirting and of course the antagonist has to ruin it. In Ch. 10, we will see what he reveals in his trial about his motivations. A threesome might be fun.... hmmm......... lol no, not in this story. Anyway, later today, you can breathe again! I hope you're having a good day!

A Match Made In Convenience Exclusive!!

lemonade- That is so incredibly weird! Cicadas are so creepy looking and I hate the noise they make, until I get used to it, lol.
Eris- Both replies in one! Could you imagine, sex slave Hermione. Goodness that would be hilarious. Beware the Spoilers, you don't want to go messing with paradoxes lol!
Victoria- Aw, thanks! I like it so much too!
sheedy- It sure did start off strange, didn't it? I actually fell in love with it from the start, since I had been writing little drabs here n there of late before starting this story. I had writer's block before, but now, none. Thanks for reading and giving it a chance!
Trelweny- You were the only person to have caught that little tidbit (and told me about it, haha). It came up in Ch.6, as I'm sure you read. I had already written that chapter and was working on Ch. 7, when I got the e-mail with your review. I honestly was a little crestfallen that someone had figured it out (I LOVE it when a writer catches me by surprise) or maybe you are just super sleuth-y! I like the second option!
lemonade- The answers are in... Ch.6, I think. Hopefully you have read it already! Good word, I had to look up Twitterpated because I had no idea what it meant. You taught me a new word! Thanks! No cicadas, I hope!

That's totally understandable!! Good luck with everything and I cannot wait for you next two awesome installments!

Back to back reviews! Lol but ohh yes! Things are gonna heat up lol! I'm excited haha, it puts me in a right state just writing about it though lol.
I will repeat again! How cool is it that you figured out the riddle lol!
But yes the eagle was in chapter 5 and Hermione's thunder issue was mentioned as a comment one of the mornings Hermione oogled Draco at breakfast!
Unfortunately, Thursday must be the day lol, I wont have alot of time to do chapter 17 until wednesday and i like to have the next chapter completely finished before posting the next one:) Hopefully you will think it was worth the wait!

Anon 7/14/13
I'm so glad you like it so far!! And I know, cliffhangers are evil aren't they!!

Colao 7/14/13
I think so too, i keep thinking of all these scenarios to put them in and i can't even handle it. It's like they are on a level that only the two of them can understand and so he can genuinely evoke real emotion from her and she him.

Eris- I'm glad the Anthony thing didn't put you off liking him. Haha, I gave you more of a description to make up for it! And some flirtin with Draco too!
The money thing with Draco is a little bit different, Draco just explained it simply. He'll have a conversation later with.... someone (It's a secret who!) about it more in depth.
But yes, sarcastic Draco is one we all want, I think. He's trying to get along with her and she keeps accusing him of saying things he didn't intend. It happens again in Ch.4 which you'll see on Wednesday, hopefully.
Ok, but an answer to your question (in jest) is something you will just have to wait for little lady That's a spoiler! I can't tell you what happens!! Muahahahahah!!!!

HG4eva, Some of your comments lead me to spoilers! Ch. 3 will answer some of your questions! I will tell you that canon Draco (post-Hogwarts) is out the window. Primrose mentions in Ch. 1 that he turned to the light, 'everyone knows that'. But Hermione didn't, since she stayed away from the papers as much as possible. She was dealing with some avoidance issues.
Is she in danger? Well, how much fun would the story be if I told you that?
You mention Draco playing of the 'tragically misunderstood' persona and I'm not quite sure that's what he's doing yet. I do want to point out that even Hermione says to herself that she has only heard Primrose's opinion of him. In Ch. 3, Hermione will be talking to him for a few minutes for the first time- and alone- so his personality is going to be analyzed by our beloved heroine. Thanks for your reviews! I like your comments!
Anin- I do know that Lincoln wasn't the first US president. Hermione got her wars mixed up and she was corrected. Civil war was the war Lincoln had to deal with, I've double checked. Thanks for pointing it out though!
Eris!! - Oh, you have such a surprise coming when it comes to Anthony hehehe Just gonna have to wait for Ch. 3!
Rose is becoming a very fun character in my mind, and Luis is a lot of fun. Yep, I like my OC's quite a lot in the short time I've known them lol. I wish this place existed too, You've told me you have never been to Texas, so let me tell you, that random building in the middle of nowhere from before the War for Independence between the Mexican and Texan armies is common. They're all historical landmarks and owned by the state. But they are so weird to see! Imagine the Alamo (Which is all anyone really knows about Texas) in the middle of a field, but with white paint instead of bare limestone and you get the picture for what I imagine the school to look like.
Yes in the story I have both Lucius and Narcissa sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss. She will probably not come up, but in my head she did so much other stuff before she saved Harry in the forest that she deserved no less. But, maybe I'll have Draco explain it for you... in a set of Healers robes lmao!

Morning Snow 7/14/13
Lol, Hermione was livid. Thank god she's the member of the trio that has the best self-control! But yes Ron is a fool haha. He'll regret it later though:) Hermione would have settled with him had he been a bit more patient.
The best way i can explain my idea for the Wizards Oath, is that when wizards get married it ties them together just the same way. In fact a wizards marriage bond is for life and is pretty much the equivalent of a wizards oath to love and to cherish and all that. So in the event that Harry had no one, Draco's bond with him especially one that makes him loyal to harry allows him to act in his best interest. It's almost as if the magic can recognize that Draco is Harry's guardian angel in his time of need.
But forget all that!!! You are the only one who got one of the most important moments that i included! Draco has been ashamed of his involvement in the wizarding war. He hates the dark mark and the portion of his life it represents. So when he showed Hermione without a second thought, it was a really telling moment. Draco feels strongly toward her and he trusts her.
In the beginning Harry noted that Malfoy unconsciously shifted his left arm out of the way whenever someone reminded him of the darker times.
There are tons of little clues and moments that people miss when reading, I am continuously tying them into the story as we go along!
But i'll keep this ball rolling! Smut coming soon!

Ok, so my lovely reviewer margerie mentioned that there were some questions pertaining to this story, so I took the idea from ErisNight (Who is writing a good story called A Match Made in Convenience- I would reccomend.) to post in the forum for discussion about any questions anyone might have.
http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600097195 is the link to the story, if you haven't read it yet (Shame on you! haha!).
Uh, the FAQ recommends a brief summary of the story, so I guess... Here goes:
Draco is given asylum in 12 Grimmuald Place and there is some boring buildup stuff that goes on there (Honestly, chapters 2-4 are my least favorite. You know, I have to set up the story and all that, give you the poetic ways of where we are in the cannon and how the story will change). Then, when Ron finds out that Hermione and Draco are kinda-sorta-maybe seeing each other, he disappears and does some very naughty things.
There. I think thats a loose enough synopsis to not give anything away, right? Yep. It's at 15 Chapters, and I'm working on Ch. 17 and editing 16 when I get stuck on 17. It's just my way, not like I'm trying to get more reviews or ratings by posting a new chapter every 2-ish days, just the way I work best.
Uh... so anyone want to talk about the story?
