I've been waiting for your next post, but i can see it was worth the wait.
I was quite surprised with Hermione weeping infront of Draco and, correct me if i'm wrong, i take it as a sign that she's exposing herself a little to let him come closer. She is ready to let him in now. I wonder how you are going to handle the inner battle in Hermione's head of falling, seriously perhaps, in love with a traditional enemy.
And Draco's softening up...really interesting. And it does make sense to me. After all Draco is, among other things, a classical case of bad upbringing and unfortunate family background. I like it.
Please keep up the good work, even if it means for us to wait a little.
