Sounds like Hermione has a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome. What she is experiencing isn't love at all, it's a perverted sense of loyalty to an abuser. Oh sure her logical mind is trying to rationalize it away as love so she doesn't have to admit the truth to herself, but it's definitely not love.

Also Harry is a terrible friend to both Hermione and Ron. If I had friends like that and I found out one was cheating on the other, I would likely stop talking to that person and completely support the other one. Harry is the enabler here, he refused to talk with Ron about his problems and refused to talk with Hermione about going back to Ron. Basically in this story Harry is a ** with zero self-confidence. It's no wonder why Hermione never originally chose him here.

Yep, nothing new there. Ron's a manwhore :)

Very good. Too bad Ron's such a prat. Harry was so cute, gah, adorable. I'm also really glad she didn't decide to live with Harry and live happily ever after. (that may seem odd) But this was way more realistic. You don't get over an important relationship that quickly. It can take years. Anyways, I'm rambling. Awesome job. I enjoyed greatly.

That was amazing, my dear. Wonderful, I loved it. I really loved the way you used repition of always returning--it made her final return that much more powerful. Well done.

i loved it! i really did. It's a brief review, and probably not very helpful! But I really did like it. It did what you wanted it to do- it went deeper into another's personality. This delving only really happens to Harry, we only usually can tell what HARRY's going through. But your's studied HErmione, and i love it for that.
keep up the awesome work.

I had never thought...I wouldn't have imagined...! You've managed to do something not a lot of people have accomplished; you've made me speechless.I just, never thought, that Harry would have feelings for Hermione, and Ron would cheat on someone he loved. He just doesn't seem the type. Sorry if I sound vague. I also love one chapter stories, because you can make up your own ending where that cheater Ron gets eaten by mutant hamsters! Mwahahahahah! Sorry, I get a little insane. Anyway, I also love your language. You're so articulate.
