Please keep it up. Write write write, anything you want. I had no idea a Ron/Lavender argument in the Gryff common room could turn into something so deep and introspective. The debate turned some of the HPverse characters into people for me. Lavender doesn't really have to seem an empty headed bint, for example. I could see this argument taking place in a wizarding school,for sure. You take the cliche of the uselessness of Divination as a subject and stand it on it's head. Again, you work in some rich, heady verse and for me it's ironic. A clinical study set up by curious students to prove a point one way or another. They could have used any old book for their test. Most of these kids wouldn't go near poetry outside a classroom for any reason (maybe if it's set to rock music and not thought of as poetry. *cough* most-of-the-people-I-went-to-high-school-with). Most of them having this poetry touching them deeply or influencing them somehow. I love having this concept occur to me rather than being spoon fed in some high school English class, by the way, and I love how this concept is not an obvious point. Just there, like a gift wrapped within another larger gift, for those who can appreciate it.

Thank you, by the way, for writing Harry/Hermione stories that don't come out looking like another episode of All Harry, All Hermione All The Time with short guest appearances by -insert name here-.

I think you somehow crammed three stories and a poetry lesson into this one shot. That's over and above.

I loved your selection of poetry here. Your style of writing matches the poetic flow. Thanks for a great read!

Got around to reading more of your stuff and found this one to be particularly amusing. Ron/Lavendar makes an interesting and believable pairing.

Alright... I've been wanting to get to your stories for ages what with all the fabulous reviews you gave, I could only assume you wrote just as well.

I loved this piece. First of all, very creative and second, so sweet.

I was aching for them to kiss (of course) but your ending was perfect!

Fabulous!

you are one of my favorite authors, anf this is one if not my favorite story. your writing style is so clean and chrisp that people may think that you are JKR in duisgise!

quite cute but rather weird. dont really get the divination argument thing. i like how it ends though. keep up the good work. a sequel perhaps would be great.

Wow , this story is so cute!!!!!!! everything about it , from Neville, to Dean, and Ginny!! just cute!!! Ron and Lavander where so tender!!!, really!!! and well, Hermione and Harry???, aren't they perfect for each other??, I so hope you wrote a sequel , thanks for a wonderfull reading , be well and take care

I'm not familiar with poems,but if these are the real ones,I'm deeply impressed how you pick those fit for the occasion.The fic feels so sweet,unique,and funny too.

good

Oh I just love thsi story!! I have read it numerous times, and I still get a kick out of it, still end up grinning foolishly at the end of it. I do have one question however, one thing that has me puzzled. At the beginning you mentioned that Hemione didn't want to deal with the fight because she had many things burdening her shoulders including OWL's but then shortly after you mentioned that they were at the beginning of their 6th year. Well they wouldn't have OWL's then would they? I don't know maybe I read it wrong but it confused me either way. Other than that though very well written, in fact I would love to read a sequel...hint hint.

It was really cute!! I love how you tied in that poetry book with everything!! Highly original and very well written! Keep up the good work!!

I'm moments away from going to bed, but I knew I couldn't leave without leaving another review. This is another story that I'm surprised I never came across before, and I'm really glad I did tonight. I can dream sweet dreams now!

This story had everything. Romance, humor, realism, etc...it was all rolled into one neat package. It would have been nice to see some H/Hr snoggin', (as opposed to Ron/Lavender), but deep down my heart feels more satisfied with the ending you came up with.

And Ron's whisper of "So that's how it is..." It literally sent shivers down my spine. Who the hell hasn't been through that? Ah, to be a teenager again!

Thanks for this story, gil. Keep up the wonderful work!

~Fae~

Brilliant!!!!!! just can't get enough words to express how pleased i was with this work.... and the poetry really says a lot!!!!! Nice one!

beautiful job -- i especially liked the ending; thanks not shoving sudden snogging into the reader's face

You know for a relatively happy story this left me feeling rather sad. Really well written though and an excellent use of the characters and poems.
