Figured I should read your other stuff. This has a very quiet beauty to it. I feel like I've just watched snow settle over a graveyard.

Nothing really happened in this story, but at the same time, so much did.

I'm bewildered but pleased.

Bravo!

You really captured these bittersweet moments of saying goodbye to an important phase of your life.
The story really touched me. Thank you for that!

Lovely take.

Well, I allready read this a long time ago, but for some bizarre reason, I didn't review...
This is one of the best written fics that I have read! Really, it has some things that bother me (Ron doesn't even speak, Draco-Ginny), but is wonderfully written and is very IC. The three, Snape, Hermione and Harry are spot on. And the general tone of the fic, that sounds to me very nostalgic, is so nice and funny...
In another note, you do have a thing for SS, HG, HP, fics, don't you?
best wishes
hele (expecting another chapter of The Rule and the Exception).
ps:I just want to apologise for all the mistakes that probably fill this review, I am Argentinian, and my mother language is Spanish...

Wonderful, charming, and lovely. Quite worth it. Loved Hermione. Especially when she tackles Snape. Hermione's spunk is marvelously paradoxical to her scruples. Congratulations on an exceptional fic.

I really liked this. Nice job!

This is an awesome story! I havn't read one story yet that I found more interesting than this one! Please continue writing stories as good as these! :)

Hn, a wonderful peice of work. I'm curious as to how long it took you. As for the note concerning Hermoine at the end; it is a bit difficult to get an exact feel for her. I've tried myself, and the only thing I can remotely compare her to is my dear friend Seraphina. However, you've done such a magnificent job, no other explanation is needed. All that we can do to explain her is to offer others the book and say,"Oi vey, come look at this character, see how she changes?" She's one of a kind, that is certain. I also noted on the way you've written Harry's character; you seem to be able to relate to him very closely, from what I've seen, er, read anyway. My congradulations, or condulances, however you wish to interpret it. I look forward to reading your other works.

There's no way Hermione could tackle Snape unless he wanted it.. And I'm sure he did ;) This was really good I liked it a lot!

Wow...Well, I'll tell you what I'll do with it, is that I am going to print it out and use it as an example of wonderful writing in the present tense. This was one of the best pieces I've read in a long, long time. I love how you did it.

Lovely piece. I enjoy the image of Harry, Snape, and Hermione sitting 'round the table together, and the changes in Harry are wonderful.

Great fic! Your foray into the rather tricky domain of present tense writing has been quite successful. You've plausibly developed the characters and the emotions surrounding the situation. Nice work!

i agree with your note at the end, except for the "godawful stupidity" part though. it IS rather philosophical, and i like it that way.

Very nicely written; Snape's change in behavior isn't jarring, nor is it complete.
