I really like your fic. I'm not into Harry/Hermione usually, but with your story it absolutely makes sense. That's something I believe in: If explained right so that it makes sense you can take any idea and run with it. I don't mean to say that the pairing is far fetched. Of course it isn't. What I mean is I don't like it normally but here it is great, because you make it so. It is believable and realistic and so very human that I spent half of last night catching up. Your story is wonderful (relationship- and plot-wise: Ah, the suspense. When and how, who and why?) and I hope you'll be able to update soon!

Oh, I really dislike when they make Hermione look like Harry's mother... =/

Ok you got me hooked good and strong. This was so well done! I was a little leary to start reading when I notice the first post date, but I hope that you will see this great story to a wonderful conclusion. It is to good a tale to let lie un finished. You are such a good writer. Looking forward to reading more from you.

Aw, yay! Thanks for updating!

It was every Dickens novel she'd never finished,

I've always imagined Diagon Alley as Dickens-esque too! :-)

ing. . . .

Where is she?

Ring. . . .

The library's surely closed by now.

Ring. . . .

Roger Davies is a tall **wit.

"Hullo?"

I love your take on Harry. Seems exactly how he would be, a little older, a little more cynical, but still Harry.

If only he were Harry, he would know exactly what part of the head to aim for, to do the most damage.

Fantastic line.

I'm loving the slow progression of Harry's feelings for Hermione. Just like a bloke to take ages to discover feelings he already had, then another year to give the feelings a name, and another ten years to say something about it.

Dean grabbed his arm, and Harry jumped. "It's called forced Apparition, Potter."

Just the right amount of humor to lighten the overall serious tone. I remember reading this story a long time ago then stopped for some reason and a friend reminded me of it today. Started giving it another go and I just can't find a justifiable answer of why I stopped reading. It's simply superb - I must've gotten wrapped up in real life or something, there's no other reason good enough.

Excellent writing, great characterizations. Love it so far. And I've always been a sucker for a good mystery . . .

Great story so far, Reminds me of GreenGecko's stories, which are some of my favorite. I occasionally prefer a good character-driven story over the fun and original spellwork/super harry's that populate most fanfic. Thank you for a riveting tale.

This is an incredible story and so well written. You have a great talent and you have me on tenterhooks!

I can't wait to read what you have next for us!

Thanks,

Hi,
So I was wondering, are you still working on this story? I had the wrong title remembered for it and it took me a few days to finally relocate this story, because I'm DYING to know what else happens! I enjoy reading H/HR stories, but good ones are so hard to find. I'm addicted to yours and I SO want to know what's next!! (o:

You've done such an awesome job on the characterisation of Harry and Hermione, even Ron, mostly. I love your new character, and I usually shy away from OCs. (o: Excellent work, it's all so great, I just want to read MORE! Is it possible to email me or put me on a list so I'll know when you update?

:) I love this story. Please continue - the next chapter is going to be a good one, I can tell already!

Great work. Your style is very believable and has all the details that make the characters and settings come to life.

What a wonderful story! This story was recommended on a fanfic site and I'm happy it was. I never would have found it otherwise. It's very well written and the story is intriguing, nice job!
Cheers

wow! amazing story. i found it because someone on a group i am a part of recommended it. i have now put a story alert on it!

Well, this is very good, and the plot is definitely getting somewhere, rather than getting more and more tangled… that’s also good. I like Ron and Sarah’s part a lot, they’re excellent. I pretty much like all your characters, actually. The only problem I’m feeling is that it’s all a bit detached. It might just be that there isn’t enough variation in your sentence structure, or that every character, no matter how good their VOICE is, ends up thinking very much the same as every other character does. Your dialogue is there, your characters are right on the edge, but the narration itself is carrying too much of YOU. I think it’s interfering with the flow. But just an opinion! Please consider it, whether you toss it to the winds or not J And great job! Can’t wait to find out what happens next.
