*shocked silence* Y-you... killed her?!?! Well Tom did... Oh my... The irony is so great I want to smack someone. *raises eyebrows at author* I see you cowering behind Tom! Even Tom can't save you from the wrath of my slap! *Slaps author* Mwhahaha! No, I really really loved this story. Am I hella sad? Yes, yes I am. Do I hate you? Never! I love this! its so intricate and deep! And the flower... oh Good gods, that was romantic...
"Even in his death, the rose had still not wilted."

Jesus, that was pure gold... *claps* You rock! ^^

if tom riddle never became voldemort,wouldnt harry never been born,well maybe.
cause severus snape joined the death eaters to impress lily,but it actually made her dislike him more.
but if he never joined the death eaters,theres a good chance there friendship could of been more,and viola no harry potter.

just a thought im putting out there

Aww. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
I admire how you incorporated the message about love from the series - 'an emotion that people underestimate time and time again.'
And I worship your last sentence. So memorable, so breathtaking.
Your foreshadowing was pretty heavy, I had a very bad feeling about the ending.

(I also feel obliged to tell you that the whomping willow was planted in Lupin's time at Hogwarts :L)

Thank you for the fantastic read.

My heart was pounding throughout this entire chapter. You are an amazing writer; I like your descriptions.
This is the best Tom/Hermione fics i've ever read, one of the best fics overall. A lot of people seem to really like Have You Ever (lady moonglow), but really, in my opinion yours is far superior.
Thank you for this beautiful story. I hope you keep writing.

Omg
I loved it :]

Its really a fascinating story! :D

Thank you for writing us such a wonderful love story and i appreciate your work so much. Actually i couldnt accept the couple at the very beginning and thought it was a really insane idea to bring Hermione and L.V together. Then i read the Chinese version of your fiction and got totally into it! XD It was then i came here and read this original version and i love it a lot. BTW the translator've done a god job :D

I love your discription of Tom's eyes. Your language is brilliant XD its like you are right in the scenario when you read through the lines. Gosh its so incredible :)

This is a well written story with good characterization, but I can't help feeling that you've based it all on a huge plot flaw. Really, Hermione went back in time with no idea how to move herself forward (and still wants to -- i.e. she is not content to fulfill her purpose and die or go to prison if need be)? I suppose you could argue battle trauma, but in that case she's acting extremely normal otherwise. Of course, AUs are often this way, but it does seem like a very thin device to me.

I loved this story!

That was honestly the best story i have ever read on fanfiction! GREAT work!

*peeks over keyboard* Hi!

So I'm about four years late on the whole Tom x Hermione thing. According to everyone's stories that all seem to have been written in 2005, at least. But a review is still a review, right?

I really liked this. Took me about two days to read, which I think is pretty good considering it's an almost-20 chapter story. You'd think reading time-turner stories would get repetitive after awhile, but I love to see what the author will do to add their own flavor to it. And yours didn't disappoint ^.^

I just wish everyone would stop making everyone die at the end >.< but I guess it's sort of inevitable. A couple like Tom and Hermione aren't exactly destined for a happily ever after (outside of my mind.)

Happy Writing!

AW i love this ending for this chapter with dumbledore and minerva! it's so cute! ilove this story!

loved the whole story

WOW! this story was amazing. I loved every moment of it. I liked how it was so beleivable and how you didn't ruin the relationship between tom and hermione in the middle but kept it going through the end. I also like how the end wasn't happy like all other stories would have been. It was supposed to happen like that and i loved the thing with the rose.
This was my first ever time reading a tom/hermione story and i have to say that it is one of my favorite stories on here.
You should write another one like this but just a different plot. this story will definitly be going under my favorites.

I absolutely loved this story. I couldnt stop reading it. Your a wonderful writer. I hope to read more of your stories. Also thank you, I would have never even have thought of tom riddle falling in love. Great story :D

Hi. I'm not really a fan of HP fanfic but yours is... awesome! You did a very great job and I even cried at the end. It's... woow! It's really very , very beautiful. It made me dream! And it's so sad! I would really love if you wrote an alternate ending, you know, just for pleasure and sigh telling myself :" wow, wonderful!".

Please? *puppy eyes*
