I found this fic while exploring other authors' favorite fics... wow! It's hard to believe this is the first fiction you've written as an adult. This is a terrific story - great characterizations, imaginative interpretations of what was happening behind the canon scenes, and just so well written. And there are two sequels to explore! does the HP Happy Dance Thanks for sharing your amazing work with us. I'm off to read more!

This was amazing! You had me hooked the whole way through. I loved your characterizations of Snape and Hermione. They both felt true to character. The part where Snape asked Hermione if she slept with Krum had me rereading several times. It was so good. The Felix kiss wasn't bad either. :) I'm almost scared to check if the sequel is finished or not. I'm dying to know what happens next. You're a really great writer. Thanks so much for sharing!

who else thinks it’s gross that hermionies mom asking how good viktor is in bed

His feet were bare and drew her eyes despite her best efforts not to stare. They were long and narrow, with a sprinkling of black hairs across the knuckles of his toes.

She is SIXTEEN and he is FORTY for goodness sake! Why is he checking out her NECK? She is a baby. What 16 year old has sexy neck? Sometimes fanfics are so rapey

“For a second he thought she was about to argue with him, but she drank the potion instead—closing her eyes and tilting back her head to reveal the line of her throat. Severus stood up abruptly and turned to replace the book on the shelf behind his desk.”

Wow, it's kind of incredible that you touched on a psychological aspect of the wizarding world that wasn't properly explored until the release of Fantasic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

perfeita demais sua escrita, ansiosa pelas demais partes.

This was so good! I tore through it and can’t wait to start the sequel. I’m super curious on how this will diverge from cannon as far as relationships and getting to know characters from different angles.

Years after reading it for the first time, this story is still keeping me awake

Thank you for sharing your wonderful story!

Totally enjoyed your story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am looking forward to the sequel.

Your story is interesting. Looking forward to the next chapters.

If anyone is wondering if they should read this fic, the answer isYES!
Thank you, Grangerous, for the best HP fan-fiction trilogy that I have read in my life.
Very well-written.
I was so inspired by some of the themes and unique scenes that I decided to create some illustrations for this fic.
This story made me cry, love and hate.
It has a lot of emotional depth and dimension, and 100 points for creativity and imagination!

(If there are already any illustrations for this trilogy, I would appreciate if someone could send me a link).

haha i giggled a bit at the ending AN. surely if i was reading this when you were first posting chapters i would have left a very long and detailed comment about how i could not survive if you did not post chapter 5 sooner
