This is really good. I really like the changes you made to why and who went to the Dept. of Mysteries. Susan is an excellent addition. Having Ginny try to alert the order is better than depending on Snape. I wish Harry had tried his mirror again. He might have gotten Sirius if he had. I look forward to more of this story. pms

I am most definitely liking this story so far. Excellently written, if I may say so. I do like how you go between the journal and point of views. Keeps it alive, if that makes sense. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Your decision to post a chapter per day caused me some frustration, until I noticed that it was posted on your FFN. (And how I missed reading it before I have no idea, since it was already bookmarked and all....) I started reading on Friday and just finished, and ... well, I can't really say I loved it, but I'm rather a sucker for bittersweet "happy" endings.

So well composed, I am beginning to believe this is the way the 5th book should have been written, as well as wishing it was true that Magic is real and the premise you used for the AU was not fiction. Well Done!

This has got to be one of the best AU Harry/Hermonie rewrites I have ever read. You do a fantastic job of only concentrationg on the differences, but make just enough allusions to the Canon, that I have been hanging on every word. Masterful job.

This is a great chapter. I'm so glad that Hermione helped Harry get over his upset over Arthur being hurt in the corridor to the Dept. of Mysteries. Their relationship is doing well. Molly was over the top chewing them out because she thought they were cheating on Ron and Ginny. She isn't going to get her way on this one. I hope they do something about Snape's lessons soon. Thanks for writing. I look forward to more of this story. pms

Not that time...... I can't wait for your next update! Great job

This is good. I'm glad that Harry and Hermione are taking it slowly. I think Hermione made an astute observation when she talked about how Ron reacted to Ginny's boyfriend the same way he had reacted to Victor Krum the last year. Ron's is probably confused. I look forward to more of this story. pms

This is a really great story. I love the changes you have made. I especially like the "slip" Harry made in his letter to Hermione about considering Ron's feelings. Very subtle! I look forward to more of this story. I like the "cliffie" Hermione gave Rose. That was excellent

unsweetened lemonade? Really? Do people really drink this? Anyway, I just wanted to review your story as I have read it before and truly enjoyed it. Your work is great although I have to agree with Bob, I am waiting for updates on some of your other stories.

Oh wait, take back the last. I skipped a chapter! That explains it.

:P

Hey there!

I really like this story - I think that the plot concept is very good, and while the whole start-up situation could have been very tenuous, you've made it work. I also very much approve of the changes that you've made to the plot. While Hermione's decision was a little harsh on Ron (here's to hoping that he nor his mother get hold of that "least suited" line) It's one that I've always thought was the thing taht shold have been done. While Hermione always took her responsibilities very seriously, and I can kind of see some of Dumbledore's reasoning behind not choosing Harry (not that I agree) - surely any of the other Gryffindor Boys would have been better than Ron? Neville, who's quite rule-abiding; Dean, who doesn't seem to get in much trouble; Seamus, who seems to be friends with most people. Let's face it - Ron's a little lazy.

That said, are there going to be any explainations as to why Hermione never ended up at Grimmauld place this time round - or how she ended up visiting Harry?

A goo start, but I've gt this niggling feeling like I've already read the start of this story before over on FF.n..... Don't know if it's related, or if this is an old story your reposting, but I just thought I'd give you a heads up on that.

Chem Prof replied:

Yes, the story has been previously posted on ff.net, and now I'm posting it here.   I mentioned that in the story summary.

Thanks for reading.

I know many other authors sometimes start their stories from after GoF or other start from book one, what I haven't really seen is a story after the first book, although probaly the most simple of the books, is the harry character that show promise, it was a character who rolled with the punches and was capable of complex thought, he was the one who deduced that the person who gave the dragon egg to hagrid had a hidden agenda. Assuming that Hermione had in fact a higher IQ than Harry, I would have to assume that harry drive to learn about magic should have been a match or at least in the same terms, after all it was what took him away from the Dursleys and would forge a connection with his parents, instead, throughout the rest of the books his development stop right there and it was mostly luck that carry the day. And the last two books were hard to swallow, they really turned me away from canon, but I still enjoy fanfiction stories. Anyway, unless you made changes, I already had a chance to read this story and I really enjoyed, you are actually one of my favorite writers, I hope to read more stories from you.
