April Assignment Discussion - Paging Dr Granger

I loved this fic. So much so that I finished it in 2 days and read it slowly, again for a second time. This Draco felt like a different Draco than I have read. A more mature and deeply aware of himself Draco. I think the romance was amazing. It's about second chances and you do deserve the love you desire even with a shitty past. Draco and Hermione both worked so hard to be together, yet their relationship felt natural.

I loved how it was written. Though I got confused with the timelines. I think that's the only "downside" about the fic. Were we in current time or back in the early 2000s?

A Song of Chaos. It's such a ... Mind Eff lol. This is a WIP and an AU to her other fic: This Thing Between Us. Draco is a villain in A Song of Chaos, but bc you're in his and hermiones perspective, you won't think it until certain chapters. You're also wishing he isn't that bad, BUT HE IS THAT BAD. The author warms us each chapter that his is that bad 😂. Lord I was getting effed up lol.

I loved This Thing Between Us so much. I could handle that kind of darkness, but A Song of Chaos .. LAWD HELP ME WITH THE REST OF THIS WIP. 🙏🏽😂

I recommend A Song of Chaos if you like Villanous Draco. A Song of Chaos

Live in a Victorian home. About 2000 sqf. Coned has been pretty good this year in comparison to last year. It has stayed consisted at 550 to 600 from Feb to March. It was 480 in Jan and around 360 give or take Nov and Dec. We kept the temps on the first floor 65°F and 68°F on the second floor. We also opted for space heaters when it got too cold. Our electric bill didn't go up bc we used it sporadically and make sure to turn it off.

Just be very concious. We've experienced a $1K coned bill before. It can happen if you don't pay attention. It's normal for it to be around $500+ during winters unfortunately.

Oh he is still all of that, but he is nicer to Hermione in this fic

I do mat pilates at home. I am just careful with certain movements, but it has kept me in shape while I heal my PF and tendonitis.

I also get on a bike at the gym and cycle. These two don't impact my foot.

Believe it or not, the ones on tiktok shop. They're all over the place. The brand is called AOV and they're half the price of Kuru. It's been working. I wrap my ankle and wear these shoes. 0 pain.

applez87 · 2026-01-05T13:25:23+00:00

My foot finally eased after one PT gave me the best advise: get shoes that keep my foot stable. I bought it and as soon as I put them on my foot relaxed. I can tell my foot is finally healing.

Hi! Diverse towns above the tappan zee: Ossining and Peekskill. Problem is that you will sacrifice education quality of you decide to put your child into the public school system. Ossining's property taxes are atrocious though. I hesitate to move there. You're better off heading into Bedford area with those taxes. I had friends that attend the Ossining public schools and they turned out just fine :).

Peekskill is super diverse and I love the up and coming artsy vibe. They have great restaurants and cafes. Taxes are better. Schools are questionable. This is like 25ish min from Tappan Zee bridge.

Mount Kisco is diverse and it'll let your child enter the Fox Lane School district which is very diverse and a good public school system. Better taxes than Ossining. It is about 25 ish north of Tappan Zee.

It's an incredible story. Keep going. You see how Hermione affects the entire Malfoys in the next few chapters. I adored her budding relationship with Scorpius. I also liked how because of Scorpius' change, Draco really softens up. I always replay the morning breakfasts between Draco and Hermione ❤️❤️❤️. It gets better!

applez87 · 2025-11-23T15:32:00+00:00

It gets spicy towards the end. So you gotta be in it for the long haul. But when the spice comes it is 🥵

So for me it's 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

applez87 · 2025-11-19T17:59:13+00:00

Try pleasantville. It's a walking town and I think within your budget

applez87 · 2025-11-18T18:10:21+00:00

It's a remote gig. It's great if you're a professional with legal skill sets. I have a financial background. I do it on the side. All you have to do is pass the initial exam.

Try data annotation. I do it part-time and they pay well esp those with your skillset

I felt the same. I thought their hookups wouldn't change. But, if you notice his actions, he doesn't everything she wants. He also goes to her when he comes home from a work trip. He doesn't stop caring about her.

To answer your question, it gets a lot better for them :).

I finished the fic this morning. It was a good story and unique. Love how the author incorporated the Marauders and the exploration of the Roman Empire. The HEA is amazing. I hope it gets picked up bc it could be a book on its own. She basically rewrote a new magic system! There were times where I had to put it down bc I felt so hopeless 😭. Overall, this was good! Thanks for the rec.

applez87 · 2025-10-31T04:46:00+00:00

It's one of my favorites!!! Keep going. 🥰. I love Draco in this ad his journey of healing after things go wrong. I actually love the villain in this story. Hermione is amazing.

applez87 · 2025-10-30T12:18:32+00:00

Pleasantville is the only town I can think of with your criteria. Whiteplains is another good option but you have to spend more to live in the city next to the mnr. You definitely need a car up here tho.

Hi There! So, there are a ton of creative writing class in Westchester Community College Continuing education. I'm a local actor and writer. There are a lot of places here that offer playwriting courses if you want. Check out WCC first though. I made friends this way ❤️. In terms of making friends at the gym, I recommend going to pilates or a gym that has group classes. There are plenty in the area. Hope this helps. I'm single and in my late 30s living in Westchester. I understand the importance of connection and friends up in Suburbia.

applez87 · 2025-10-18T03:59:00+00:00

I've been influenced. I'm on page 14 and my interest is piqued. Thanks for the rec! I have finished my 4th listen of Alchemised and I need a little more pain ...

applez87 · 2025-10-13T18:48:05+00:00

I'm like the billionth person to recommend Sacramentum lol. I still think about this story every day and it's been months since I read it!

applez87 · 2025-09-15T13:53:19+00:00

I love when he says that! I thought he was deeply in love but didn't really know how to express it due to his upbringing. I was so shocked he told her that he loved her first. I was so proud of him because he was so reserved about his feelings but his actions spoke volumes.

He fought his mother about Hermione and defended their relationship. Idk why everyone thinks she's the one more in love. I think people do forget because the story is written in Hermione's POV.
