I for one am glad for Elseph and Simon.

I've got to say, I'm not really a fan of the whole marriage and children subplot. It would have been fine if they were the pairing, but it has gone on a long time and been pretty detailed for us to want him to be with Hermione (which I think is the end goal if I read the description right?). It feels a bit weird with how much of the story it's taken up not just in the sense of time but the details, too. On a positive note you write the characters very well, and navigate how to make the story similar but very different at the same time

That's cold Hermione, but oh so deserved! Recommend those nasty robes!

Well that's depressing

I get it, but she's a first year. Great minds have to start with the intuition of others (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all that) so this a lesson for a couple of years down the road. Very in character though, good job!

Oh this story was so amazing, I couldn't put it down! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world!

Most excellent. I enjoyed this "...ever so much..." Learned a lot about English dialect and society of the period.

Nay, not so, dear lady. "Smit" is, indeed, a word. It's in the Scots' dialect to be sure, but it's a valid word, nonetheless. It means to stain or sully, among other things. It's probably related etymologically to both "smite" and "smitten." After all, when "smitten," are we not love "struck"?

this chapter gets me every time. gosh i love this fic so much. wish it could be changed up a bit to not be a potter fic and published. I'm obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre and Sense and Sensibility. This fic speaks to me.

u have no idea how long ive been looking for this fic finally

I very much enjoyed this story! Great, awesome work!

Just as good the second time

WTF?

How perfectly classic. Great example of the genre, here at the end of this chapter. Snape is so confused.. lol

Lol. How scandalous! Great meet and greet with the children.
