Maybe you not a fan of Hermione but I am

I'm very glad that she didn't do it and explained the need to hide to them instead.
Excellent chapter.

I didn’t notice the first time I read this, but there is definitely a “You are my Density” flavor to this chapter. Harry’s tree joke and Hermione teasing him about his cheesy lines stood out this time.

I guess it is a faithful representation of teenager-hood, with the way the characters waffle around in drama and angst and don't know what they want. But it's more irritating to read than insightful. I guess I was expecting a sharper intervention by Lavender, and, since many characters have a "gossip girl" personality, Lavender's influence blurs. Everything is just "muddy".

Still, it looks like lots of other people like the fic, so good on the author for writing it.

I didn't drop. I keep coming back to this fic. I want to like it, but I don't, and I don't know why. The fic feels like it wants to say something, but its just kinda muddy.

You write Hermione's mom just like you write Lavender. None of these characters are making sense to me, so Imma drop.

Lavender is an author insert here... so it's pretty telling that the author has Harry and Hermione name their child after Lavender.

Massively enjoyed this - just binged it all in two afternoons. Thanks so much for writing and sharing it - I have no idea how I've never come across this before!

That was nice; I liked it a lot.
It's always sad finishing a good story. Time to see what else is hidden amongst your list of stories.
Thank you for this one.

I've been surprised for years that I've never seen Harry make an instant Snitch catch in a fic. Fun to finally see it.

What’s all this about security charms on the boys dorm that Hermione’s worried about? They’re always up in the boys dorm. Nobody’s ever stopped a girl from going into the boys dorm.

‘89? Why would Hermione’s mom have been pregnant in 1989? Is there a sibling you’re just… not mentioning?

“ "Right…" Lavender rolled her eyes, "And you'd know what brotherly love is from what experience? He'd know what it's like to have a sister because… why exactly?" “

Okay, for real, why do so many people lean on this? You don’t have to have a sibling to recognize storge or philia.

You’ve characterized Lavender well!

I am sad that the second Battle of Hogwarts was shown only in flashback, and none of the Duo's adventures without Ron in the Forest of Dean etc for one year were shown.

I hoped that a smarter Hermione and a less impulsive Harry would have made several changes. Making Harry's pack bottomless as she did hers. Finding the other Horcruxes. Some time spent in the Muggle world, perhaps.

Also, I wondered how Hermione survived the killing curse Voldemort shot at her on the Astronomy Tower.
