I know I reviewed this over on FF.net, but I really enjoy it, so I thought I'd say so again! I particularly like the way you characterized Astoria, I think I appreciated it more the second time around - she's an appealing blend of forceful personality with non-sleazy guile. I'd definitely be interested in reading more about her - and I can't help but think that whereas Malfoy could get under Hermione's skin he was never a match for her, whereas an Astoria/Hermione encounter (platonic, of course, though I wouldn't not read a non-platonic version if you wrote - only sort of kidding) could be really fun!

Author's Response: Haha, well, your double reviewing is appreciated so thank you! Yeah, she almost like a Bond girl I guess. I've half-written a sort of follow up to this set about a year later so she this won't be the last you see of Astoria. Oooh... Her meeting Hermione could be quite the match. I'm a slave to canon so it'd be platonic but yeah... I can see them clashing a bit, depending on how they meet.
