Okay so I really enjoyed a Pound of Flesh, but this sequel is excellent. Loved this. I loved the approach too, with it being told in a series of journal entries. Riddle is once again just as dark and depraved as one should expect and Hermione's level of disgust with him and at times herself is perfect. I love how he messes with her in this fic, the Umbridge comparison was fantastic. Honestly I've never thought about it from that angle before and now I won't be able to not think about it. I saw there's another sequel/third part. I'm excited to start it, though it looks like it's not complete and been on hiatus for a long time. I hope one day you'll be inspired again to pick it up and continue. I like the strange dynamic between the two you have going here, and your writing and characterizations are great. Thanks for writing this pairing, which is my favorite. Where ever you are I hope you are doing well and just want to thank you for the works and sharing them.

Words can’t describe how amazing, well-written, intricate, and SMART this fan fiction is. It’s a shame there are so few reviews. The format of diary entries is brilliant and parallels TMR’s diary. I can’t wait to see how this ends. Thank you.

I commend you for writing something truly unique. Rare to read a Tomione like this, I can't believe I haven't read it before. A shame you have so little reviews, you have a great plot going here. I really like how Riddle tricked Hermione into believing he was going to die because of the vow but the whole time he was making moves to complete his part. Which works out so well, because I really couldn't see him just laying down and dying like that.

However, I would have liked to have read their interactions in the dreams with more detail as they sounded quite interesting. And maybe a little unintended attraction from Hermione for Tom. Even I understand completely why she wouldn't feel that way about him but it would be an interesting element to throw in there. Seems like Tom is attracted to her though in his own psychotic way.

Anyway, I very much enjoyed reading this story and 'Pound of Flesh' both are brilliant in their own right. Hope to read more from you!

I'll re-save this as will

Is this over? It can't be over! Tom can't be dead, seeing the state of Voldemort's body. Can you PLEASE write a third story!?

Great ending, I loved your stories- much better than a lot of the fluff people write about Hermione and Tom. Thanks so much for sharing.

The stories had literally updated my version of Hermione! A wonderful background to acquaint Riddle with Granger and to unfold the story:D Please do not end hereTAT
One little request..May I translate both your stories into mandarin and post them on baidu tieba, an hp fans community?

I find your style of writing addicting. Perhaps you'd consider writing additional stories and sharing with you audience. They needn't be about anything in particular, although I would enjoy a continuation of your current story. The underscored sexuality and the dual parasitic and symbiotic nature of the relationship was a pleasure to read. Thank you. So often in ff the growth of characters reads flat as heros and villains become paper cutouts marionetted through implausible or masturbatory scenes indulging standard cliches. Not so with your characters, as shown by Hermione's struggles with determining where her emotions and thoughts are tainted and tinged from Tom's influence, and we glimpse Tom's very real enjoyment of interacting with and teaching a mind as clever as his own. I only hope you continue writing. I'll keep checking back to your page to see if you add more.

That was stellar! It made me see Umbridge in another way for a second there, your Tom is magnificent! And it's the one and only time where it would make sense for Hermione to become dark. Damn, you're a great manipulator.

This was really well written and I'm hoping, maybe irrationally, that you'll write more. Please do.

Brilliant! Any chance you'll write more?

Nooo! You can't just end it like that and say it's complete! I still have so many questions about the unsolved murders and, well, you can't just end it there. Please say you're writing a sequel right now as I'm typing this review!

Now, this *could* end here - it's quite a nice natural breakpoint. But I for one would be very interested to see where it goes next :)

Please, please, please don't end it here. I'm addicted!

I like that journal format thing you had going on there
Made the story more unique than it already is
Really, there should have been more reviews and shit, on this one and A Pound of Flesh
