This was so sweet. Well written, and an interesting concept. I think you lead well into a H/Hr/L pairing, but if they merely have an irrevocable friendship with Hermione, I can imagine that they would all know each other beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Yeah - I'm so glad you've posted. It was great to be able to read it all at once. I'm looking forward to more.

Thanks for the kind words at the end.

Will there be more written for this?

Hidy hidy,

I was right. You do write pretty well.

I'm enjoying the concept of heart-tied. It's just about identical to what I'm hoping to do with all three of them in my "Darkened Paths" story, even the sharing of emotions, though not the same way you've done, thankfully. I'd not be able to forgive myself to have seen that. I'm still curious how it will be a three-way relationship, but am looking forward, highly, to the next chapter and installment.

I cannot WAIT to see Ginny's reaction to everything. Even better, her not hearing from Harry for over a week. If she was worried he wasn't at the door like a lost puppy (does that NOT ring of her hoping to have him extremely submissive?,) then I can't wait to see what happens when she finds that it is her fault that he is heart-tied to Luna.

On the heart-tied note, I'm a little surprised not to have seen Hermione try to help Harry and 'go into' Luna's mind, so to speak, to do as Harry was. Not having her do so means, at least as of yet, that she's not going to be magically influenced in any way to like Luna and, if it will be a three-way relationship where Luna already likes Hermione romantically, then it would be cruel for Hermione to share Harry and not Luna, meaning it isn't likely that it WON'T become a true three-way where they each love each other, literally and figuratively.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this whole thing as 'Old Magic' rather than seeing Luna as a link to fairy lineage or something else of a similar nature. It's done a lot that she has fairy in her blood, somewhere, even though she's considered a pureblood. I love seeing links to other races' magics, including being part fae, but enjoy seeing a communion of sorts without worrying about cross-breeding that's expressly refuted in Canon (still fun to read, though.)

I rather dislike the idea of Luna nearly raped, but can see where you're using it and how it works. Including the initial fear when she notices Harry's hands on her breasts and gets over it almost immediately. It shows ties to the fear she would have as many girls would while showing the trust and value of their friendship that she recognizes her acceptance so quickly.

As for dislikes, the only real one I have, minus the rape thing mentioned above, is that they aren't truly in a "relationship" together yet. I do enjoy and appreciate it, though. I just had to give another dislike since the rape bit was nothing serious as I understand it.

Oh, and I absolutely LOVED the chapter length. It's a pet peeve of mine and you nearly doubled my preference.

Adieu,

Does this mean destroying Petunia's garden would have been a very bad idea?

the concept was unique and very interesting, and the explanations were extremely easy to understand. i hope all fanfics are like this when it comes to explaining non-canon stuff.

good job!

great story so fwr i hopethere will be more to follow until then jeep up the good writing:)

A very good story, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Will this be a Harry/Luna/Hermione story? I hope it is, I think the three of them would fit each other very well.

This fic was recommended on a mailing list that I receive and I am very glad it was. I really enjoyed the garden and the interactions between Harry, Luna and Hermione. Very original and very well written.

Thanks

Great story. I look forward to the next chapter. Please update soon.

What a beautifully romantic story. I loved it. Is this a one-shot or will there be more? I definitely could use another dose of fluff.

Very nice; early on I was thinking that there was something quite attractive, very powerful, in the idea that Luna was so worried about being hurt by an intrusion in her garden ... and the fact that Harry proved to be so compatible.

I didn't quite like as much Luna's being hurt - to such an extent - by Hermione, who was a friend, who had fought by her side several times and so forth.

If Luna is a lesbian - if she likes Hermione "as in not liking boys" - then I'm wondering where you're going with this, if this is a continuing story. As a H/Hr man I'm happy that Hermione is a part of it. :-)

I love it! More, please! I have added you to my alert list. Fantastic!

I find this to be an Interesting story, It sad that Harry & Hermione was kicked out of the Burrow. It seem that the Weasley's has good reason's but that don't make more easy to get over the pain, The best part that Harry & Luna are Heart tied together.

Ugh, I'm sorry. This fic was looking really interesting and good.

And then Voldemort was referred to as Voldy Moldy and it killed all interest I had in this fic faster than the Little Doctor blows up planets.

I'll try reading this again later.
