I have never liked Lavender this much before.

It's so fucking weird how the fandom insist that nothing nothin happened between Viktor and Hermione. You don't become the thing someone will miss the most over friends/family if you aren't at least somewhat serious, nor do you get jealous about the best friend and ask him if nothing else is going on between them, nor do you ask someone to come visit your country and meet your family if you aren't dating or then ask someone to please write and keep in contact if you haven't been that close. Like, Hermione is a year older than the boys, she was 15 all though 4th year, and what age are Ginny and Luna in 6th year? 15, yet they get to have hooked up and are old enough, meanwhile Hermione everyone forgets that she is a year older than the rest. I don't know it's weird how much this "no no NO we didnt snog no tongues sir" is spread through the fandom and it makes me uncomfortable bc it denies Hermione what the boys both got to have, a first relationship from which to learn and get experience to make the next one work

cute story but the my lady my captain thing is rank and makes me want to VOM

Shit those kisses were smoking...I LOVE IT!️

They are so CUTE!

Fuck u McLaggen! U deserve that uppercut by Hermione!

Harry is the greatest, selfless, cutest boi ever to make Hermione feel better from the hateful and spiteful words of the moRon!

LET’S GO HERMIONE! GO GET HIM U BRIGHTEST WITCH!

Oof, this had me pinching my face and sweating because this was written so well that it kicked up memories of similar events when I was Hermione's age! I was just as dense as she was too! I'm enjoying where this is going :)

That Holy Cricket part had me crying I had to go look it up on YouTube funniest thing all day

I really loved this.

Still not keen on the title, but aside from that this is brilliant.

Yay! They’re together!

Although I don’t know why Hermione being banned from Hogsmeade is a barrier to them going on a date. Go on a picnic down near Black Lake or go to the RoR and have a date there. Plenty of places that aren’t Hogsmeade to go on a date in Hogwarts.

Way to scare us at the beginning of the chapter. I have to agree with Luna, this is simply brilliant.

"I fell in love with my best friend" *musicnotes*
Yeah, that's what rings in my mind during the reading
Also
When Hermione was understandably freaking out over the possibility of Harry and Luna dating, I just asked myself: what if he just needed a friend when those two idiots ignored him? And then I realized that even if he was going out with Luna, he did in fact need someone really badly when those two idiots ignored him. Even worse, when he turned to them with his problems (i.e. Malfoy trying to kill people) they shrugged him off. In first year they would launch an investigation. In the sixth they ignored the issue. Thus, it is their fault Malfoy succeeded. It's their fault Dumbledore died. Well, he would die anyway from the Withering Curse, probably, but that was not final. Even if it was, he would still live a few months longer if they just did their bloody job.
Not that it has much to do with the story. I just imagined Luna helping Harry with that investigation

The way Hermione's dad described hos breakup with the Aunt, he comes off as a jerk. He just straight up neglected his girlfriend and blamed her for coping with it poorly. And I see she wasn't without fault, letting her parents criticisms of him get to her, but honestly. He acted like a jerk.
...she did too, tough, which makes it a realistic breakup, I guess. Good job writing that one, I guess
