abuseI always hate these type of stories, where people get locked into a life they can't change...I know that's how life is, but still...

Your story was quite well written and it left me nearly in tears-that's just how life always seems to go, you know? I just wish that things could sometimes change more easily...
I'd rather live in books.

abusePoor Hermione. I hate that evil Ginny. You should add another chapter where Hermione beats up Ginny and Harry and Hermione run away together to Siberia.

abuseThis is really sad...
Ginny is a completely and utter **...
I wish 'Mione' would just up and kill her...!
Atleast that way Mione would be doing us all a favour...
Keep writing...

abuse*shivers* damn, this was so incredibly chilling. IYou've done a masterful job of evoking Herminone's dull resignation - I could actually *feel* the jaws of the trap swing shut around her. I keep wanting to tell Hermione - you're stronger than this! You don't have to settle for this! Run for it!
I don't remember much about it, but this reminds me of The Chocolate War, by Robert Cormier, and the tagline 'Do I dare disturb the universe?'
Y'know, you've quite possibly ruined the end of Deathly Hallows for me - if the ending is a Hogwarts reunion scene with H/G and Hr/R married, I'm going to keep hearing Hermione's silent screams the whole time. Part of me's kinda hoping that idea about Harry not surviving the final book is true, here!
I keep wanting to write a sequel where Herminone's participation in the final fight with Voldemort leads her to the realization that she has the strength to do what she wants. So she tells the boys 'f**k this' and takes off for another country or the muggle world, where she grows and changes and even though it hurts giving up Harry and Ron, she's better off for it. I don't even want Harry to escape Ginny so much. Though it'd rock if Harry takes off on his own, finally realizing that he's spent his whole life as the Boy who lived, and it's time to figure out who Harry Potter is. (I really hope he does that in the books, actually)
And I never wanted to write Harry Potter fic before!
I read this three days ago, and it wouldn't leave me alone so I'm actually writing this review in desperation. *g* The last time anything fictional resonated so powerfully with me, it was the comics miniseries 'Chosen' by Mark Millar. That was even more depressing, actually.
Excuse me, I have to go read the list again. I need to cleanse the palate.

abuseThis is so great! Poor Hermione. I love the way that you wrote her. Everyone expects someting from her, and she feels sad. it's a great fanfic and you should consider making it into an actual longer story. I think that it would be amazing and I would DEFINETLY read it.

abuseThat was so beautifully sad. It was written perfectly for the way the story went. I was getting all misty-eyed.

Beautiful. Write more soon

abusethat really sucks. this was great dont get me wrong but it really sucks and what really sucks is that some of the things you pointed out, totally make sense and i feel like this is real and that theres more to this. even if it never ends happy i feel like theres more but i respect that it isnt. this was wonderful.

abusewow

this amazing AMAZING piece is one of the best that I have ever read. my sister actually pointed it out to me, which is very odd since we hardly agree on anything.

normally, i hate hermione/harry stories, but the way you have written this one...its just spectacular.

hope to see more stories of yours

your faithful reviewer,

abusefirst of all, i loved this piece. it was breathtaking and beautiful and amazing.
second of all, im so jealous of your writing abilities.
third, a small (i promise!) rant about the kindof base for this story- i guess i should start with for a lot of my life i have been expected to be perfect, you know, good grades, good looks, good clothes, always nice, caring, never backtalking. and just recently, even though it scared me a bit, i just thought how tired i was of it all. pretending to do something (i.e. love Ron) or be someone is exhausting. so i stopped. or i think the better phrase would be, i started. i started speaking my mind and not wearing what everyone else is and not freaking out that i got a B on a paper. i started to believe in God again. i figured out that it was definitely not worth it to worry about the small things. you wanna cry in the middle of english class? go ahead. you wanna laugh and snort really loudly at the world? feel free. all i can figure is that if you are happy, living life to the absolute fullest, taking chances, loving, then that passion in life and for life is all that matters.
i sincerely hope that hermione will do something about ginnyharryron, either one, i dont know what. just hermione seems to me to be too strong to just let something go like that. she seems to be the person who would fight for something she loves. however, i am a bit more understanding of the limits expectations can place upon you.
on a final note: (sorry for the essay!) wonderful piece. i cried. thank you.
