Great story. I hope you do a sequel.

I'm extremely impressed with this story and had to read the entire thing in one sitting, because I couldn't tear myself away from it. You've done a beautiful thing in showing Hermione with a handicap - though it's not one that will ever keep her from succeeding...especially since she'll always have Harry by her side.

You write poignantly and beautifully and I loved every minute of it.

GREAT job!

This is an excellent story. It really leaves the reader wanting more. Well done! Your characters are superbly written; each is unique unto themselves. A true joy to read. I only wish there was more but I understand why you stopped where you did. How about a sequel? Anyways, thank you for writing!

I've always wondered that if I reviewed a story that was made in '07 (not '08, because that would never do. '05 is just to little for me to deal with and '06 is quite... unexplainable) if I'd get a wonderful reply from an author about how much they loved to see a review, even though the story they'd written was several years old... Haven't you? I hope that someone does this for me one day... I think I might just reply... But of course I'd do it in Morse Code. There really is no other way with replies, unless you're using backwards letters, but, alas, my computer does not allow me to do either. I settle for what I've got. Daddy always said that it was best to be thankful for what you've got. And now I am very off topic and really must review.

I loved it. It was slow at some parts (to be honest, I skipped over quite a few paragraphs... I'm quite impatient today, really.), but interesting enough. I dealt with sensitive topics - handicaps, bulling, friendship, and even death (Cedric? Do I dare ask if he chimes a bell?) - and I found that to be very sedimental. I started tearing up once... but tears are best saved for those who loved and for those who will love. It also changes Harry's personality quite a bit. Most would find this as... 'bad writing' but we must keep in mind that you are simply not developing his character as Rowling died. Cedric did not die, thus, he is not depressed and there is Hermione, Neville, and Luna to account in all of this. I like his personality. He was sweet, out going and, as promised, very thoughtful. I was also very happy that there wasn't much character bashing. Most Harry/Hermione pairing supporters have an addiction to making Albus the wolf in sheep's skin, or making Ginny a very unpleasant girl when really, all she is is bitter. (I don't favor doing so either, but what is called upon must be done - weather thou like it or not.) I had a particularly soft spot for Hermione because I too share a disability - visual, but a disability no less. You may have herd of Albinal humans in the horror section at the movie store or where ever people see those amazing little disks these days. (I swear it's magic that makes them play. Lazors are just to unreal, really.) We're usually seen as demonds with supernatural powers. It's quite dreadful how ignorant fellow humans can be, but I don't mind. It's probbably just me not being ignorant enough. I thought it was great that you went into detail about Hermione's disability, though, it was a bit confusing at first. I suppose I'm just tired and need to rest, but, alas, I've got some reading to do and will be up late into the night (again).

And do I leave you with this - all that glistens is not gold, for this is all I have been told, and wind will not sell this old torn soul, for I have read and played and important role (Poetry is wonderful, don't you think?)

great story please keep up the good work can't wait to find out what happen next please updat soon

That wa beautiful. It actually had me tearing up at the end there. Dumbledore always gives people a chance and though he is a manipulator he tries to help all those he can by giving them an oppertunity to learn and be accepted. I love Harry and Hermione's relationship in this story. Normally Harry is excessively broody (even in canon) but you made him grow up and grow into an understanding that will help him throughout his life.

Oh and side note: love that Cedric lived and proved to be a good person despite his fathers callousness.

That, was simply a wonderful story. Cheers

And nice story, though I'd love to see it developed and see how they work together to defeat Tom

An interesting premise

I love the ending.

It was so heart-warming.

I enjoyed the storyline and hadn't read on like it before. That is always very refreshing.

The flashbacks made the story harder for me to read. I believe that you would have a stronger story if the content was rearranged and displayed in chronological order.

Thanks for taking the time to write and post your story.

Ohohoho, nice. Very nicely done. I read deaf-fics because they amuse me profoundly like redheads like to read about redhead-fics. Which means that, yes, I'm deaf. Of course, usually I end up going "NO IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY D<" I'm profoundly deaf with cochlear implants, which gives me incentive to ask you a question -

why doesn't she get cochlear implants?

Oh, and I find the beatings unrealistic, but that may just be me. I'm also thirteen years old (yes, I know, exceptional spelling, blahblahblah) and the only fights are the ones where girls posture and try to rip each other's eyes out. Generally the people who are widely disliked are verbally abused by the 'populars' (I use this term loosely to describe the girls who dress in tight clothing and have those little portugeuse ponytail-things, hairsprayed curls, etcetera) usually in gym.

But I digress; hope you consider this. Seeya'. -Kavaul

The bits at the end without Hermione before Hogwarts make me tear up. That was a well written scene with Mr. Granger.

That scene where she forgave Jack Robins was amazing. It made me cry. And you know hat Jack Robins is totally going to grow up affected by that and hopefully be a better man. Hermione is brilliant and awesome for forgiving.

That scene made me cry.

I love that Hermione's awesomeness saved Cedric.
