oh hell!  they just got engaged!  why would her parent's want her to get married that day!?!?  anyone i know would want them to wait a little longer...that just doesn't make sense

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Teehee. I hear ya. I can't rightly remember my reasoning, as I wrote this long ago, but I think I was  going with the  "they thought they'd been dating a while now" thing and that they prefered their daughter to be married than just living with/ shagging a guy. And that's how some people feel about those things--marriage first, etc. Personally, I agree with you. However, for the purposes of this story, we'll pretend her parents are very, very old fashioned.

Beautiful Story. I still haven't gotten over how wonderful it is.

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Thanks so much!

Oh my goodness. An absolutely fantastic beginning. I must say, for readers who ship for the individual story rather than for the canon (like myself), this is just a treat. Off to read the rest!

Cute. A bit too fluffy at the end for my taste but still well done (as opposed to medium rare? Sorry. Couldn't resist.).

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

I adore medium rare to rare. Yum.Yes, well, I warned early on about the fluffy bit. Thanks for pointing out though (snicker). It's what I was in the mood for.Cheers

Response from Satai Delenn (Reviewer)

LMAO! Yeah well, you know that I usually love your stories, and fluffy ending aside, this one was no different! Thanks!!! And yeah, I can't stand any meat cooked above medium rare. If I wanted to eat leather I'd chew on my shoes!

I don't care if it was OOC, I loved it. This is rapidly becoming a new favorite ship, after HG/SS.

Cheers!

I really enjoyed this story so thank you for writing it.  Nothing wrong with a bit of OOC Draco and Hermione or Hermione and any male that isn’t Ron. How could JK put her with Ron when it is just so wrong?! That part in book six very nearly made me scream.  Hermione/Draco is my third favourite pairing after Hermione/Lucius and Hermione/Snape and this story was very enjoyable from chapter one till the epilogue.  Well done. ~KC

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

I agree about Ron / Hermione. Blah! LOL Thanks for reading. I appreciate it!

Excellent story!  I must commend you on the OOC Draco, it was very believeable.  Thanks for a great read Southern!Elle

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Thank you. I am rather fond of him, too. :)

lovely ending. I certainly hope that you have another hg.dm bunny on the way, though. Especially if there's only four more chapters of 'luring'. I beg of you to not leave us all with nothing good to read. Oh, how I wish I had your talent. the characters are ooc (except lucius and narcissa, who i can kinda see acting like that) but you knew that already. your style, and your plot bunnies are distinctly yours, i could pick one of your fics out of a group. your diaglogue is well done, not too much but not too little. Once you get past the fact that they're ooc, hermione and draco are really fun characters and i do like them like that, him wanting to love someone and her marrying so quickly seem out of character to the folks in the books. but if you use more of a fanon character ooc, well, that ooc is extreme., This still had an intelligent hermione that doesnt worry about her looks and doesnt try to win draco's heart. i know it's been done before. but i thin that the origianal premese 'a deal is made first; pretending is next; finding out they love each other; happy ending,.sorry, im on my sleeping pill,i loved this story.

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Thanks for reading. Yes, I knew about the ooc, which is why I warned peeps away. Some still wondered about it though. LOL!! I like some fluffy stuff now and then though. I'm happy that you liked it. Cheers, mate!

Lovely story.  Sometimes fluffy is a good thing--especially when it's well written like this story. 

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Thanks! I like a bit o' fluff at times too!

What a lovely happy ending to this wonderful story.  I love the way the Malfoys have come round and that they all spend time together at friends.

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Thank you! It was great fun.

Cough!  Cough!  *gags on fluff*  LOL!!  No, just kidding.  This was a sweet story.  Fluffiness is good sometimes, and you wrote it very nicely.  Thanks for another fine story!

Muahahaha!Thanks for reading and glad you liked it!

I am not sure why it is assumed that when Draco or Snape or any other Slytherin acts lovng that they are OOC.  Who knows what love can do to ones character.  And I too love a good happy ending.  Great job.  --  B

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

I certainly agree with you, but usually there are about ten people who can't wait to point out how un-canon they are when they seem "nicer" than norm. Teehee.

Yay!  A fantastic ending to this story.Thanks so much for finishing it and giving all a happy ending.

my mother, what with her illness - what illness?  The much younger woman on Parkinson's arm??  Thanks for the happy ending! (Cuddles SW.... hopes her other fics also end happily.... Luring the author...)  I hope Draco survives Rowling's next book, poor kid.

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Haha! Yes, Pansy's mother was the younger woman on Old Man Parkinson's arm. They poked fun at her during dinner. She's got some sickness, but Lucius thinks it was a potion that did it. Don't worry. It was of nothing of importance.I do so love a happy ending... in all stories. Teehee

Oh I loved this chapter! <I>Define reformed</I>!  Perfect and so Lucius!!! I love how Draco stood up to them and how he told Hermione he loved her just as she is!! Great story! I really enjoyed it! (Even though it's a DM/HG...

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of The Mutual Deal)

Uhhuh. I love when Lucius says that. I can picture him so perfectly. I shall have to use this line in another story. Muahaha. Thanks for all your help.

Well! What are her parents and Lucius up to? Will the Malfoys freak out when they find them married by Muggles or just demand a wizarding wedding as well?
