This is/was a refreshing story to me. I haven't read a side of Hermione quite as magnificently written as the one offered here. I could feel her heartache, pain, confusion, solitude...everything. The emotions were practically jumping out of my computer screen and into my heart and my brain. Simply beautifully, poignantly written. Fantastic job! |

Nice story! Very angsty in parts. However, I do believe that according to the rules of the website, Harry and Hermione have to end up together. Somehow I doubt Hermione dumping Harry, moving to America, and only meeting him again for a short period of time after he has died counts as them ending up together. Personally I don't really consider this a Harry/Hermione shipper story. She is too willing to let him go, too willing to leave him in her memories alone, too willing to leave him without really thinking about what it would do to him. You can understand her reasons to an extent, but she seems too 'over it'. Oh well, good luck on future works, and keep in mind that at portkey.org, Harry and Hermione have to end up together (or so I understand from other authors)! |
Author Feedback: If Harry and Hermione HAVE to end up together then surely that ruins the whole story, knowing that its gonna end with a Happily Ever After? I don't know the rules of this site, I was invited to post here so complied. I'm not actually a H/Hr shipper usually, I just love writing and exploring characters.
I try to write more realistically than fictionally, and Hermine's character in this fic is written in such a way for me to express my own thoughts and feelings rather than those of the canon character, whose thoughts are those of JKR.
Writing is an expressive process and the plot should be free to go where the story demands.
If I have broken the rules of this site, I'm sorry, but you should accept that in this three parter, Harry and Hermione won't end up together, because as I'm sure you all noticed, he's dead. That doesn't mean they won't always love each other though, and true love can survive anything, even death (hmmm..that sounds good, I may use that in Part 3  ) |

There a no words to describe how beautiful these two stories are. Once again I am in tears, this was a amazing story. I love how real you made Hermoine, and the twist about her having no powers was unexpected, but I think it made the story much more fulfilling. Great job! You have taken these two character and made them completely your own. I can't wait to read the sequel you promised, and if it is half as good as this one was or the last one it will be worth reading. Again, outstanding job! |

That was so depressing. Very, very sad. It was good that she went back. Hm..that would be very intersting if Hermione killed Voldermort. Weird...great job.  |

As if Walking in Memphis wasn't sad enough - *sigh* You made me cry, again! Great job with this. |

God, talk about angst!! I had to stop reading this halfway thru, it was just too depressing. Walking in Memphis was depressing enough (Harry commits suicide? How Gryffindor is that?) I was hoping this sequel would give some reasonable explanation for Hermiones actions, but I'm sorry, I can't buy this. You write well, but your stories are just too dark |

Some things are better left unexeplained. This story (of course that actually means the previous part) is one of those. I really don't get why hermiony suddenly became a muggle. the killing curse doesn't drain the user's inner magic completely (at least, as far as I know.),and I think it's absolutely impossible to make yourself a muggle by ussing it. and I also son't really understand why hermione didn't came bck after a few months. I'm psychiatrist, but I think that she would come back after some time. |
Author Feedback: Hermione will go back. Please await part 3!
Alot of these reviews say that Hermione's actions don't make sense, but the whole point of this is, if you haven't experienced the deep depression that she is suffering with, you can't fully understand her actions.
I know my fiction is dark and depressing, but unfortunately its all that a sufferer of depression can write. This series (which will eventually consist of three parts and a sister story from Harry's POV) is more a reflection of my life, using Hermione as my tool, but I promise, there will be a lighter ending.
Life isn't easy, and I think its unrealistic to expect characters to cope as easily as they do in some more soppy fics.
Once again, this series isn't finished yet, all will be explained eventually.
I only wrote the sequels because of a demand, and no sequel can ever outdo the original and shouldn't try. I'm trying to create something different with each part.
Thanks for reviewing and reading, it means alot. Practice makes perfect.
