Yes, it's really too bad that Sirius won't be appearing until later, but I'll definitely keep reading.

Nice chapter.

Thank you for updating so quickly! I loved the whole chapter! There was great characterization all around- and I noticed that Charlie had another appearance. Is he going to appear later, at Hogwarts?

I'm in envy of your transitional paragraphs (and phrases). You pack so much information into just one or two days- and then you manage to skip a week without a break in the story line! You used them to great effect in Out of Time.

I also like how you portray Hermione. In a story like this, it's all too easy to make the main character into some sort of superman (or superwoman), able to solve every problem with a wave of thier hand.

Its doubly difficult when the main character is Hermione, who seems to know almost every spell there is in the J.K. Rowling books. (That's a bit of an exaggeration, but not much.) I love how her ability to remember the future is not a fix-all, but one of her greatest weaknesses.

Another thing I like is how Hermione is visibly afraid to die. She may tell Malfoy, truthfully, that (if she had to) she would kill herself to prevent Voldemort from using her against her friends, but she's still shook up when she hears that someone is going to try and kill her.

You've managed to portray Hermione as a Gryffindor with a healthy sense of fear- something not found often enough in fanfiction stories.

On to more chapter oriented comments...

There was some great foreshadowing in this chapter. Charlie's comment, "even mother hasn't figured Rita Sheeter out yet," makes me wonder if the Love Potion article will exist this time 'round. (I kind of hope so.)

Something else I just noticed- I dearly hope those fears about the timeturner breaking are just part of her remembering when she went back in time, and not forshadowing.

Some happy foreshadowing... the dress. I really really really want to see Siruis' expression when (or if) he sees the dress. And when he finds out she can dance. Hah. But I guess I'll have to wait awhile longer.

Another question: is Lupin back this year?

Also: Are we going to see things from Sirius' POV soon, since we won't be seeing him with Hermione for a while?

(I must admit, I really want to see him worrying about her. Its so sweet. Plus, I think some of his alarm bells are going to ring when he sees that Hermione hasn't written a thing about how SHE's feeling about Harry's dream.)

This was a wonderful chapter in a wonderful series. (Actually, its my favorite fanfic series yet, which is saying something, because I've read a couple really good ones.)

I've just realised that I've wrote a FIFTY LINE review. Wow. Once again, thanks for updating quickly, and I really really hope you can add another chapter soon. Pretty please?

i guess now with the lack of secrets kept between them, hermione would be distancing from harry and ron. though i suppose there is her guilt and worry to keep her in check.

if hermione is in on w, then who gets to be the financer? would it now fall to sirius? and i wonder just how much the twins will become involved with her and what that would mean to harry and esp ron.

and just where will krum fall? and for that matter, draco's warning at the cup?

i do wonder just what the twins suspect.

{“As long as you bring some pictures back,” he said. Then, with a glance at her mother, “Some of the moving ones, if you can?”} _ yay someone says it. i think this sequel is going to be quite fun. hp4 is my fav and id definately love to see it from hermione's point of view.

ah, so pig is now geronimo.

i thought charlie's descrption in the book was different. i thought he was possibly the shortest of the boys.

im definately going to have fun seeing the attitude change toward fred and george.

and dude hat racks are dangerous even when not i wonder how the weasley's would take it if they know she writes continually to a convict.

and will she get the map and cloak back?

Argh! You can't leave it there! I wanna know what he says! Rawr!

Erm yes...I don't know what to say...blah. This is probably boring you muchness. If you can even understand this bollocks...I might go read out of time again...it's gotta be my favourite story on here. :D

ah yes, no wonder i didnt recognize the name, i would have if i had been still reading it but with that length of time inbetween and all the stuff that happened..well im awfully glad it was there on my favorites. i reread the prequel and very much adore it.

i like how you seem to so far realize all that would be changed. the little things here and there.

thus, im very excited about the sequel. and we already see the pig change, though i feel sorry for ron's loss.

aw she's having fun like a normal kid! i bet she had fun

interestink... i love your style of writing, i'm enjoying this a lot.

Onyx

:D

Argh this is so good and they're not even back at school yet! I salute you! *salutes*

Is sometihng gonna happen between George and Hermione at some point?

*has heart attack* You have no idea how excited I was when I saw this in your profile! Yay! I've been waiting for this sequel for so long! Yay! My day can't get any better! I got a my chemical romance ticket, I had a fantastic day with my friends and now I come home to this. I think it's safe to say I'm ecstatic.

that was a great chapter! i agree with rockpapersirius. what she said in her review was true. also,i liked the ideas donahermurfey said. u should do that in your story. it would be hard for a convict to go to a yule ball though. maybe he could hide under the invisibility cloak and watch. that would be great if he got jealous. cant wait till this is sbhg! update soon!

squee! So good. More woman! I demand more. I can't adequatly explain to you how much I LOVE this story. The premis and the characters (oh god get to Sirius soon PLEASE)and the plot and...and...everything!

kiss kiss

Annie

your stories are really pretty awesome; kudos to you. Hm... I think we need some friendship moments with Ron and Hermione... I know this is going to be H/S (which is excellently done, by the way) but Ron seems so sadly neglected... and he doesn't even have a clue what's bothering her. Basically, more trio moments.

The twins are also wonderfully done, much more depth to them than in the books.

Hope to see sirius soon!

holy SHIT!

Wow...it has been ages since I've logged onto but I thought a review would be in order.

I'm so excited about this story and you continue to amaze with your characterization and the mental images you create.

I also must confess that I'm happy about the possibly unintended Hermione/George action.
