I know it's not mentioned, but I like to imagine that Dumbledore would have attended Myrtle's deathday party. He was Transfiguration teacher the year she died, so he would have known her in life as one of his students, after all.

Binns, likewise, would have no excuse for not attending. Since he died, apparently of natural causes, while serving in the post of History of Magic teacher in 1954, he was almost certainly on the faculty in 1943.

Reading this for the second time, had to pause several times because i was about to bawl my eyes out on the bus

Wow. Poor Hermione. I too would be scared to the point of phobia if I had those experiences with dementors and trolls and it's super insensitive of McG to not think to warn a girl who was almost killed by one. I feel like Ron and Harry but especially Ron don't deserve her friendship after this, tbh. Yea, she could have handled her side better but she's not wrong. Dementors don't murder people (like Sirius allegedly did). They destroy the very essence of life so completely that there is no going on, and we later find out with horcruxes that messing with souls is the most evil possible thing in the universe. So. Yea. Execution and Dementors kiss aren't the same and wanting payback is fine but not at the cost of condoning the most evil creatures to exist doing to the most evil things. Also rats do need to be in fucking cages. Literally that's how they are kept. I know about pet rats and only absolutely trash owners who want their pets to be killed would do as Ron has done. So also right there. I don't think she's weak. I think she's understandably really stressed and her supposed friends made it much worse by being assholes. I will say I hate how the twins handled her issues. They just dismissed her fears and used physical force to push her closer to her fears. That doesn't work. That just would make it worse. I would honestly never trust them around me again after that. I wouldn't want them to be. You'd think they'd learn after all their "help" that made Ginny's situation worse last year. Also fuck Rebecca and where is Vector?

The mentions of A Level maths in this are quite frankly just weird. From acting as though it’s just one exam, not a series of six classes, to the topics covered. Ffs the fluff about integral calculus earlier in the fic was hilarious, making out it’s hard when it’s one of the first topics covered. And this nonsense about vector calc now? Vector calculus is part of A Level Maths — it’s literally in Mechanics 1, not even Mechanics 2 in the second year. Honestly, if an American is going to bother to mention A Level Maths at all, the least you could do is glance at the syllabus. The whole thing is just odd.

I really enjoyed your story.

I was eating chicken tikka masala while reading this

“No longer planning on a Ron/Hermione pairing” Good. I only saw the movies and the Ron/Hermione relationship took me by surprise. I never saw them as a couple.

God. It's so cringe inducing how everything takes precedence to Hermaioni. Right here, it's assumed and accepted that her cat killed Ron's pet (Which was a family pet for 21 years), has a mental breakdown, berates and then attacks her roomates, runs away and hides from them outside of class for a week, tries to apologize while saying she did nothing wrong, yet she's the one that's offended when Ron won't apologize to her? And everyone is pissed at him for it? Then the story goes out of it's way to show how much she's suffering for you to feel empathy for her as she berates her "best friends" for not understanding that she's justified to a have a mental breakdown.

The story has some really great moments, but they're buried in dribble like this that honestly makes one wonder if it's worth it to keep going. I don't mind Hermaioni being a prodigy (Even if it raises her state as a Mary Sue) because protagonists are meant to be special. It's when the story goes out of it's way to cuddle, glorify and romanticize anything regarding Hermaioni that it becomes hard to not groan at how lame what you're reading is.

Poor Cedric, but at least he is alive. Hermione has been learning to cast with her left hand. Hopefully she xan help him. I adore George and Hermione together. Hopefully it will work out. They are great together!

The pity party for Hermaioni seeing Quirrel die is kinda cringe, to be frank. It feels so self centered and pointless. I joked when I first read the story that Hermaioni read like a Mary Sue, mostly because she talked shit to important characters that felt forced to swallow as a reader. But, re-reading the story a year or two later, I gotta say that the joke wasn't really that far from home. If you take what the story gives you up to this point, this Hermaioni might be the Maryest that ever Sue'd that I've read in my 20 years in FF. But, I've also read worse Gary Stues, and I do like the overall story.

What a wonderful and entertaining end to book 3!

That was a great alternative to the room situation! I'm glad Ginny got to play and they won! This should be your 5,000 review! Congratulations!

I'm glad that Hermione is getting along so well with the twins! They are my favorites!

I'm so glad she knows about the R of R early! I was happy to see Buckbeak not scratch Malfoy!
