Well I am glad you updated this story, it is one of my favorites. While the chapter was good and it got the whole World Cup out of the way it did seem a little rushed. I like how you had Harry simple proclaim he was going to lose his virginity by the end of the school year, it is definitely something this Harry would say. As for the Harry being Hermiones 'Safety Net', I think Harry and Hermione have a great relationship and that they would make a great couple in this story, you don't even have to have them as boyfriend/girlfriend, more of a friends with benefits kind of deal. I really think this Hermione would be open to that with the way she has been acting. Maybe after Harry sexes up a veela he realizes he likes sex and decides he wants a fulltime partner in Hermione, who knows. Anyways, other than being rushed and a little short good chapter. Can't wait to see more.

Hermione knows that if she ever hooked up with Harry that he would never be faithful. He just isn't a romantic. And his ego wouldn't let him limit himself to one person. Thanks for the review.
