the love of your life is dead, you have a complete mental breakdown that requires you to be spelled under. You sleep for like a day. You wake up still thinking she's dead. you mourn at her bedside crying your eyes out... oh wait, she's not dead... happy happy joy joy... hug... "herms, whats wrong", she passes out. You get help. more drama manufactured for no reason (really, locking them out?) because you found a paragraph that didnt have angst... just to say, "hey, she's gonna be fine (even though she's still unconscious), but you cant see your newly resurrected greatest love ever for a few days because, hey why not, she has memory loss". Harry says, "ok". WHAT???? harry says OK???? there's no way he would leave her side. This little "twist" is yet another way to jam in angst where it's not needed. I'm very interested where you now take this, but I'm just a bit dismayed by the angst manipulation.

I know this fic is no longer being updated, but I just have to get a few things off my chest...

Hermione so far is a whiny whimpering bitch who is totally unlikable. harry is such a pansy that I want to slap him. He apparently can lie in his bed for hours whining about what's been done to him (which, admittedly, is a lot), and only on occasion has he really gone off, brilliantly, I might add. The chapter where Harry bites of Remus's head was great! Finally, I thought, Harry is going to stand up and say "enough!". Remus totally deserved it too (and how could Hermione have witnessed Harry's rage-induced meltdown and NOT realized that she's doing more harm then good to someone she supposedly loves?) Then it seems to have gone by the way-side for more angst-for-the-sake-of-angst.

Thats my issue: it's manufactured angst. Unreasonable situations are created just to generate more angst (like Molly forcing two people who obviously dont want to go, to go to shop for robes; or Dumbledore forcing two people who obviously have serious issues to do a spotlight dance. ugh).

and now Ron.... Harry's not trying hard enough? I really wish Harry would have hauled back and punched him. Ron has no clue how utterly unreasonable and selfish and stupid hermione is being.

That reminds me of another issue: forced plot points that dont go anywhere (admittedly, some may be because I havent gotten there yet). What was with Matthew rummaging through Harry's desk and putting a blinding light spell on his window? That was all forced just to get Matthew to tell Harry about Voldy "contacting" Hermione (which has been ignored WAY too long at this point). There was no reason or resolution to Matthew rummaging through the desk, or for casting a spell that would surely wake harry up.

And back to the Voldy-visiting-Hermione thing.... there's no WAY that harry should not have (forcibly if necessary) sat her down and said "what is going on". even if he didnt get an answer yet, Harry is being way to inactive with this issue.

reading on, hoping for some resolution (soon!)...

GREAT FIC. I REALLT LIKED IT

PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE I CAN TWAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS

Burn is probably my favourite song, but Boys Don't Cry is one of my favourite stories. Deliciously angsty...you have a real talent for writing, you know?

Sadly, can we assume that this has been abandoned now? So close to the end? It has been nearly four years...

Regardless, thank you for sharing this with us, and for the amount of effort and emotion that you've imbued in it. Hope you're well

Oh, I cried, I laughed, and my heart tells me this is one of the most touching stories I have read! Brilliant job!

Oh wow. I've only read the first chapter, but this is looking to be very very good. I'm hoping to get to the juicy part soon, but just wanted to say that I'm impressed so far!

This is brilliant. I really cannot express what a fantastic piece of fiction you have created.

I've just read the whole thing to this point, and the only complaint i could make would be that we didn't get enough insight into Hermione's thoughts. I think such insight would have increased the suspense of the story.

Thank you so very much for writing this.

Is it safe to assume thaqt this fic has been abandoned? You stated at the top of this chapter that it was NOT the end of the fic, but it's been almost a year since your last update. I was definitely looking forward to where this was going.

This chapter was great. I'm a bit confused at why you haven't updated yet, it's been nearly six months since you last updated. I love the way you made the relationship between Harry and Hermione, and when Snape Jr. attacked-the detail was amazing. Anyways, enough blubbering from me... hope you update soon!

Please cont. with this story.Thank you for this great story.This is a wounderful story please keep it up.Ignore any and all flames please.

PLEASE.... I hope you finish your fanfic, it is so great... I can wait longer,just to read what is going to happen...but please please please update soon!

THIS IS TOTALY ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I HAVE EVER READ!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! YOUR DOING A WONDERFUL JOB! I love you add so much emotion into your writing. I've cried, laughed, been frusturated, mad, and totaly in the moment! I absolutly love it! Please update again ASAP!!!!! You are definatly on my fav authors and this is definatly on my fav stories!!!!!!

I love this story, but if this chapter really isn't the last then please please please update soon.

Boys Don't Cry is also my favourite song by The Cure aswell. In fact I listened to it almost non-stop while reading this fic and thats saying something considering it doesn't even go for three minutes.

Hey! This is one of my very favorite stories! I really like it.... i hope u update soon!

This is a great story. Keep writing for this is a "god given talent" (the"" incase you do not belive in him by that name.). Thank you for this wounderful story.
