A truly excellent story.Pity it hasnt been updated recently,hopefully the writer will get back to it in the future.

Really nice,Crookshanks can be a pain in the arse cant he.

Talk about driven to suceed.She shouldnt expect change to come easily & without cost.She'll keep at it though thats just the way Hermione is. 

A trully believable first kiss fic. you really can imagine this happening with Ron & Hermione.

Quite the emotional rollercoaster ride you took me on.An impressive piece of work if I do say so myself.Is this it or is there more?

I thought it was an excellent fic (despite the H/Hr).You've stated that this isnt going to end up a Trio fic,which is good, but you're going to be hard pressed to end it without tearing them apart.You would think that having who they want (R/Hr,H/G)  they'd fight tooth & nail to keep it.Just seems to me that they gave it all up rather easily considering how proud & stubborn they all can be.How can Ron ever get over Harry shagging Hermione no matter what  excuse those two gave?There will always be that wall between the three of them,not even including Ginny. Truthfully it will be a miracle if they can even remain friends after this fiasco.

Author's Response: Hi there!  Thank you very much for reading and for your thoughtful review!  I'm glad to hear you're thinking about a lot of the issues that are going to need to be addressed in the coming chapters... why did they give in, why weren't they stubborn about this, how can they ever move on, etc.  It's a sticky situation, but bear with me- I may be able to surprise you just yet!  Thank you again for the thoughtful words.  *pecan pie for you*

I cant seem to make heads or tails of this entire sordid affair.They all seem to have their heads stuck up their collective arse holes.James with his seeming inabilty to talk to the woman he loves.Sirius to let the situation escalate as far as it got & not keeping his fly zipped.Lily well frankly you paint a far different picture to what Rowling shows of Mrs. Potter.Remus seems to be the only one without the head in ass syndrome.Dumbledore should just take them across his knee & give them all a good spanking.This is a train wreck and I cant wait to see how it all ends.

Author's Response:

I think I love that last line the best: "This is a train wreck and I can't wait to see how it all ends." I'm glad you want to see it through! I know it's a bit of a rough read. And you pegged it exactly - Remus *is* the only one without his head up his arse!

I know my Lily is different - but of all the characters I'm portraying, we have the least amount of info about her. So I'm taking a bit of liberty, I know, but I'm feeling into how it would be, with a small child (which I have), in a war zone, in hiding, not knowing if this is the last time you'll see the love of your life and your closest friends. And not being able to do a g.d. thing about it. I've been in unbelievably stressful situations - and the struggle not to go completely out of your mind is sometimes a second-to-second proposition. And then, sometimes you just . . . snap. 

I agree about Dumbledore! Why doesn't he do that?! 

Cheers -
