Okay, I'm going to butt in and be irritating all around. Please don't take this personally, but I like the question summary better than yours (sorry). However, I don't find either one to be enticing at all. Yours, [livejournal.com profile] countess_k, is a bit dull and the original is awkward as hell.

Reading this: "Ron has decided that Friday night is to be spent in the worst possible way Hermione can imagine" makes so little sense to me, it's embarrassing. Is Ron trying to purposefully make Hermione uncomfortable on Friday night? That's how I read it. If this is the case, then perhaps something better might have been "Ron decides to make this Friday night one of the worst of Hermione's life by taking her to the Museum of Quidditch." The whole Quidditch museum bit at the end is optional in my view, but whatever. Then you can add whatever little blurb about Draco showing up or whatever after than.


Aaand after skimming this story, my revised summary of sorts makes no sense in the proper context, and actually, neither does yours, [livejournal.com profile] countess_k. Let's try again: "Hermione could think of very few things that were as dull as the Museum of Quidditch. A surprise appearance by Draco Malfoy could change all that."

Okay, so that's still shit and it kind of reads like a cheap porno, but I think it conveys what happens in the story (based on what little of it I read; it's not exactly my kind of thing as far as fic goes) without delving into question territory or a two-random-plotlines-shoved-into-one kind of thing. As I said upthread, I don't avoid question summaries (knowingly) because I've never really noticed them before. I do, however, agree that the summaries that suddenly change focus into another storyline are odd, too (though sometimes I'll click them because I'm curious to see how the two often unrelated plots are connected), so I understand what you're trying to do here.



Fuck, I hate writing summaries.

*after that

My proofreading skills leave much to be desired.
