(laughs) Well, that's a nice ending! I really like this story-stories about the Trio as friends are few and far between, but this would still be good if it were one among thousands. Great job! I love this line the best, I think: “Boys, you’re impossible. Love, love, love! The word doesn’t bite." Excellent Hermione!
Eranim chapter 11 . 6/13/2006
That was so, so good. I know I should try to find something to criticize, "well rounded critique" and all that, but this is really perfect the way it is.
Eranim chapter 6 . 6/13/2006
This is really amazing...You have the Trio's charecterization down perfectly, and the plot! So original.

The only thing I cn think to suggest is perhaps some sort of transition between points of view? A few dashes or something...it is just a mite confusing when it switches from Ron to Hermione.

Keep up the good work!

This story is amazing! I could not put it down (figuratively speaking :D). I *love* Ron h/c but it is very hard to find! And I **love** the trio friendship, so as you can imagine, this story was perfect. Everyone was so in character, especially based on OotP. And what was great was that even though this was a serious story, you managed to add some humour that was top of the line :D. All the people seeing Ron(Harry) and then Harry and all the confusion. So perfect. Not to mention the random happenings in the common room in this last chapter. It really added to the chapter. The Gryfs can be a hoot :D.

Harry's blow up with Ron and his reasoning when he found out was perfectly in character with CAPLOCKS!Harry. Sirius played the role of the godfather perfectly. At least he can knock some sense into him :D. And Harry realizing that he was being self-centered...someone who understands! People think I'm mad when I say that Harry was self-centered (in OotP)...no one seemed to get that self-sacrificing Harry could be. But self-centered and selfish are two totally different things...in the fifth book, Harry was not selfish (he never has been) but he was a bit 'me, me, me, me'...and you portrayed that just right. And how bad Harry felt when he realized it was just like his character. And the make-up...wonderful. Ron readily accepting and Hermione giving a hard time is just how I would picture it. Boys will be boys :D.

And all the Ron h/c, yay! I need more Ron :D, so I'm going to read your other one :D. A truly wonderful story! Weasleygirl-ca
Daughter of Chaos chapter 11 . 5/23/2006
May I say, the entire background operation going on concerning the flowery dancers, Katie Bell doing an impression of an English gentleman, Neville as most eligible bachelor, the girls 'swooning' for him, and the third eye incident had me snickering into my fist throughout the chapter! I just thought I should comment on the background as no one else seems to have. I liked it and it broke up the serous scenes beautifully!

Now then, on to said serious scenes. Very interesting to have HARRY draw on RON'S actions from during the triwizard tournament. All though the simple “hi” really does seem a great ice breaker with the trio. Also fun to have Sirius's not suddenly pop into Harry's head as he means to move on with conversation. It is a bit disconcerting when your mouth does something other than you had planned for it! The apologies in this were fantastic. I agree, there were a few things in this that were repeated, however I personally feel they were less “redundant” than an effort to drive the point of the trio and what their friendship really means home. It was not too long winded, and most of the speeches (aside from Hermione's tirade) at least the long ones were rather dragged out of the friends for need to explain themselves.

And bless you, you broke Ron for me! (I find that delightful and funny all at once _)

I suppose what really got to me, what I really enjoyed in this was Ron admitting rather sheepishly that he looked at Harry as a brother. A younger brother/best mate. I suppose I've never really looked at the younger brother aspect , but I can see where your coming from in that. I enjoyed the concept. Very good to have an injured Ron, and injured Harry and a content Hermione back in the circle with their friendship renewed and the bond between them strengthened. This was an excellent end to an excellent story! Playful and light hearted (OOTP could have used more of that...)

Blarg, I could rant about how I love your writing again, and how you characters are still behaving as though they really were in the world of HP: OoTP, but you've heard it all before and I tell you know those feelings haven't changed! And at the moment I'm still squeeing in delight about a broken Ron (I reckon there is something very wrong with me on that.) In any case, you teased me earlier you evilly delightful author you, and I'm hoping this review will tell you exactly how much I would like to see more Ron torture!
Daughter of Chaos chapter 10 . 5/23/2006
“If he can’t depend on us to be honest with him, who can he depend on?”

Mhmm. Now that is the emotional trauma I'm on about. The opening scene was a lovely touch, and an interesting choice to use Hermione as a sort of third person-looking-in bystander. I realize that's where she stands on this, but it was insightful to 'feel' the tension in the air as it were with out being one of the injured parties.

Now then, the letter to Sirius: stroke of genius! Heh, both on your part and on Harry's of course _ One could have almost forgot Sirius's cooped up ordeal during this fic, but it is good to point it out and that the poor fellow really does have a lot of time on his hands right then. His advice was sweet, with Sirius humor touched with a hint of mature sincerity. Harry's obvious shock at reading this letter, on the feelings he had flattened (along with his best friend .
Red Bess Rackham chapter 11 . 5/20/2006
Good. I found this chapter to be lovely and sweet and exactly what Harry and Ron and Hermione need to sit down and talk about (for real) in canon.

However, I also found it to be rather redundant. Actually, for a while there, it was felt quite redundant. Not sure how you could improve that... I'd have to sit down and go over it a few times.

Anyways, I'm gussing that was the end of this story? It was very cute. Again, good job.

Good ol' Sirius. He's so perfect. LOL.

Great chapter. There was a few spots of Harry's thoughts that I especially liked. They felt very in character and JKR-ish, lol. Good job.

A very good story. Thank you.
Frodo Freak2 chapter 11 . 5/20/2006
Aww...you made me cry, that was so sweet!
Wryn Flynt chapter 11 . 5/20/2006
This was an amazing story. Your writing is so honest and genuine and very true to the characters. I believed everything. The only fault I could find with it was that the Polyjuice potion has a set time that can't be altered but if anyone could figure out a way around that it would be Hermione. Great job I loved it.
