I don't trust Dumbledore at all. Not in canon, and not in fanfiction.

Milky Earl Grey? The MARAUDERS? Ohhh no (ō_ō)

I can't praise you enough for your amazing portrayal of the comeradery amongst the marauders. From my observation, this is how guys react to each other when nobody else is around to see it.
You must have one hell of a Beta because I've yet to see a typo! Talk about impressive. Your writing and story telling is exemplary. This is my second time reading this and it is still as captivating as the first.( high praise.)
Have to get back to it!

What a fabulous story! I admit that I was questioning your logic level a bit with the banking stuff. How would that work? I was invested in the story and decided to continue. I'm so glad that I did as you are a layered plot writing genius! I almost cried when Hermione had to go back, but the future was amazing! The ending was fantastic and I'm so glad it all worked out!

It‘s lovely! Ome of the best FFs I ever read… and I have read them for years and years.

Thank you for sharing!

love this story！

Fabulous story!

I really enjoyed this story . Thank you for sharing

Absolutely loved the story! Very well written, not too long, not too short. The characters are so close to canon, nothing jarring which I just happen to love on fanfics. Thank you SO very much for sharing this story with us. Much much love.️️️️

Side bar, was hoping to read a little bit of what happens in the other timeline after Hermione leaves. Heart,-wrenching the way they're stranded there. Some closure there in the form of a sequel would be MUCH appreciated, even if it is angsty with a mildly happy end for those folks.

I was worried for a few chapters that you would not write a happy ending, but a tragic one... such as Hermione just fading from existence to the eternal grief over her loved ones. Thank you!I was surprised by several twists, including the Dumbledore-Voldermort duel but that was pleasant. Story was, I agree, a little long but I am now hunting down the sequel with enthusiasm.

Loving the story tho it has never been clear to me until this chapter why Hermione feels she MUST go back. It had seemed that she believed she must time loop.
An error alohamora is Unlocking, colloportus is Locking.

What an awesome story
It’s been a while since I’ve not come across something that entertaining, fully developed and well thought out
Thanks a lot, I’m off to read the sequel !
Cheers

Ok, first, great story. Love it so far. Great writing. Thanks for sharing.

Now, mini rant... I don't understand the use of "disapparate"! I mean wth!? We see this all through fan fiction. When I can read an entire story and never see the word apparate, something is wrong. Do we say disdrive? We go places, not disgo places! We drive when we're going somewhere and we drive back or drive away when we're leaving. Soooooo, we apparate when we go somewhere and we apparate when we leave. What really bugs me is when it's written "they apparated to the meeting, then disapparated to the store, the disapparated home." What? When are they "going somewhere " and when are they "leaving?" It shouldn't matter because we're discussing HOW they're getting there (car, bicycle, skates), it doesn't matter! They are using a "means of conveyance " to get there, so they are bicycling, skating, driving, apparating! I've put way too much thought in to this! Lol

1) You're amazing. You have closed every loophole in any time travel story and have made Sirius palatable, and the romance realistic and enjoyable, and Dumbledore as canonically both callous and foresighted as one could hope. So so so so good.

2) I'm aware this was posted some time ago, so I'm sure you're older and know better but: for ducks sake. I've had sex for twenty years and managed not to get pregnant; you think Hermione who, in your own story, made a goddamn philosophers stone, couldn't manage a condom, taking basal temperature, the sponge, a diaphram, spermacide, taking estrogen, taking progesterone, the copper coil IUD-and those are just the 1980s options- OR a potion or charm? Really? My mother also was an "active" woman in the 70s and 80s and managed to not get knocked up to sabotage her career, and had me happily at 37. After all of your planning and world building...you did Hermione dirty. Really, really dirty, because the way you wrote her until chapter 57 she was also paying attention to the world around her and sensitive to Walburga and Pollux, even when they didn't deserve it.

Frankly, the younger people who read this stuff get the impression that pregnancy just can't be helped if you're enthusiastic, and this is now one of the stories that falsely spreads that lie of inevitability. Someone who could forge a passport could surely talk to their doctor or read a damned book to find any one or multiple of the above solutions. It's just hugely, hugely, hugely disappointing and just... What a thoughtless Hermione in the end (to her family and to herself, because even the slightest precaution prevents it and being knocked up within 7 months of starting her career is insane), and what a thoughtless way to end your story.

What a wonderful fic! And no wonder, you’re soupy george! I love you fics on ao3!
