Ok, so I'm stuck in the middle of a story (it's the ninth chapter) and I just don't know where to go. I've kind of backed myself into a corner, because I need this story to develop a bit more, but I've already got them at a sort of 'pivotal point' (as much as this story can HAVE a pivotal point. Gr.) The thing is, I'm really sick of this story - I'm not proud of it until it gets to much later chapters, but it's my biggest reviewage bringer inner, and I don't want to disappoint readers by disappearing off the face of the earth AGAIN (it took me nearly four months to update my last chapter, which just made me feel even worse about it). Anyway, enough moaning. So the story is a bit of a cliche (another reason I don't love it so much) - it's a Dramione (quel suprise!) and the basic storyline so far goes thus:

In the prequel (a one shot, called 'The Photo'), Draco...well, it doesn't really matter what Draco does here. Suffice it to say, Hermione wants revenge. Which is where the sequel comes in. (Sweet Revenge (M), and gosh, yes I know. What a horrid, horrid title. *squick*)

Revengey stuff for the first few chapters - basically just going back and forth as Hermione gets back at Draco, who gets back at her, who gets back at...you get the picture. In the second last chapter, Hermione steals Draco's diary and reads it. Thing is, I wanted that to be quite a big part of the story, but he took it back without my permission AND kissed Hermione WAY before he was meant to! The horror! That silly boy just won't do what he's told. Hermione doesn't really, either. Anway, so if you could maybe think of some way to include the diary again? Here's why it has to be important, ok? Just after Hermione kisses him ('diversionary tactics' :P)

Quote:
 
“Granger. Look. This is important. How much did you read?”

Hermione looked disgruntled.

“Oh, what? The fate of the universe hanging in the balance? You do value yourself rather highly, you know.”

“How. Much. Did. You. Read?”

“Temper, temper, young Malfoy. Not much. Not past last week, at least.”

She smirked as he looked as though he were about to cry.

Serve him right. Bastard. Kissing her back. Manhandling her. Scaring her out of her wits, so that she would kiss him.

Draco pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Honestly?”

Hermione sighed and let her neck fall back. She was so tired.

No Malfoy. I only read three entries. The first three.”

Why was she telling him the truth? Why?

Draco looked pained. “Thank you for telling the truth. I shall now have to kill you.”

“What about that ‘not hurting girls’ policy? What happened to that policy? I quite liked it.”

Draco closed his eyes and stood up. “If you ever mention to anybody that we kissed, I will personally rip out your heart, policy be damned.”

He pointed a finger at her as if to accuse her of something else, and then let it drop.

“Diversionary tactics, my arse,” he said, and stalked out of the room.


THEN, in the next chapter they get caught out by McGonagall, whereupon Draco spills a little secret, which Hermione finds utterly hilarious. She tells him that they are to have 'a chat' about it. WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO WRITE 'THE CHAT'. And I have no idea what to do. Anway, so hopefully that was what I was meant to do, and I'm not just blathering on for nothing. Please halp me, oh marvellous ones!

General or Specific Prompt? specific - something to do with the chat, and the diary if you can! :tahi:
If Specific - give the names of the characters and the situation they are going through: as above.
Anything else that might be helpful? Not really...I think I've covered just about everything. Seriously, like, everything. Gawsh. I CAN ramble, can't I? :sugar:
