Hey, I remember you! The Author's Daughter, I mean (hello!). Are you the evil Author's Daughter whose review I saw for one of chemprof's stories over on FF.net, the one where he asked us to vote on the final pairing? And you voted .... H/G?!?!?!!!! *gasp*

Maybe after you've put them all up here you'll have been converted to the one true HP pairing ... :-)

*makes note to check that all the stories aren't changed to H/G by some quirk of fate or accidental keystrokes*

Hope you have a good time at the beach. I like fluff when it is at least somewhat realistic, as this is. Good chapter. Thanks for writing. W.

I really hate to complain since I liked this chapter, but that last little section was a bad choice. Flash forwards are a poor storytelling idea because they utterly kill dramatic tension for the foreseeable future. While it was pretty much understood that Harry and Hermione would survive, we had no idea they would hook-up, especially in such a permanent fashion. I had no idea what was going to happen and I was looking forward to it. Now, I'm left certain of the general overview of the week and the eventual outcome. Your flash forward didn't really add anything to the story (such as if only one of the two had returned or if they appeared horribly maimed or wounded) and it eliminated potential. I'd remove it if I were in your shoes, but I'm simply a humble reviewer.

In any case, I'm really sorry to be so critical. I really liked the rest of your story up to this point. I don't really understand why Hermione's parents tend to have weird quirks in so many stories, but I'm hardly even surprised at this point. I suppose it's to give them a sort of instant character since they're so bland in the books. I like your Ron more than in most stories as well. He's one of the characters I've generally hated both in the original series and in most fan fiction. In the series he's brainless and insensitive while in most fan fiction he's either a complete moron or the best friend Harry deserves. It's always nice to find a happy medium for a change.

Later,
Rex

I didn't see that coming, but then I very rarely do "see things" happening or coming up in stories.

We at the killing Death eaters part yet?

Or the dealing with being some of the most wanted people in the country once Voldemort is in power.

> OK, let’s have a show of hands. How many of you saw THAT coming?

Oh, sure, I saw that coming.

Only because I read this story in its first edition. :-)

By the way, congratulations on being invited to the FFA site!

Also, I don't think I ever received anything like a 'Chemprof has joined the site!' notice. Was such broadcast to all FFA subscribers? Could it be?

I agree hugs are nice. I enjoyed the chapter. Thanks for writing. W.

I just happened upon this story (haven't been to this site in a while) and am quite looking forward to reading more. It has an interesting premise, good potential character development, and I really like that you have portrayed Ron as intelligent and thoughtful (to a degree) rather than stupid, abusive, or totally oblivious. I think that last is the reason I tend to shy away from H/Hr stories, rather than any "ship" preferences. A well written story can catch my attention, but if the only way to make a fic work is to completely wreck another character, I have a hard time considering it to be worth reading.

Very nice start, I am looking forward to the differences in point of view will make in the story.

This is a well written and intriguing story. I look forward to the next installment

Wow! What a great way to have Ron handle the Hermione-Harry thing! Totally impressed. Not *completely* sure it's canonical but it's close enough to believe, and so different from everything I've read. I love it!

Good chapter. Thanks for writing. W.

Be interesting to see how & when Ron & Hermione finally tell Harry they are not together before this lack of knowledge by Harry causes a problem. Cheers.

Oooo! Intriguing! I'd love to see how this plays out, especially while you keep it in canon! Keep it up, I can't wait to read more!

This is an interesting start, and IMHO you have a very recognisable Hermione to a tee. The reasons for deciding Harry is unattainable or just not interested, and her decision to accept her fall-back option, is well reasoned and fits in with canon to date. I do like the idea that her first meeting with Harry was not accidental - I cannot recall seeing this in a story before yet it is so bloody obvious!

I enjoy all your stories and am delighted that you are starting a new one, especially one that is Hermione-centric. I am trying the ssame journey & PoV in my own attempt set in 4th Year, so will be interested to see how you develop Hermione's character and her attaining her goals, both for Harry and with Harry.

Zamia posted a comment on Sunday 22nd May 2011 1:54am

Be interesting to see how Hermione carries out her plan especially the last one. Cheers.

I have always enjoyed your fine story and will happily read it again as you post it. Are you doing any editing? Not to suggest it particullarly needs any, just curious. Thanks for writing. W.
