wow,

"And they stayed like that, her head pillowed on his shoulder, his hand moving up and down her back. They didn’t talk. They didn’t kiss.

They only held on."

that was the sweetest thing!!!..

I support h/hr!!!
Go Harmony!!!

This was so sweet! Perfectly in character here as well. I love how Harry (even though he made a blunder) was able to pull Hermione out of her insecurities wihtout insulting Ginny in any way.

I don't know what to say...this is beautiful!

In just a one-shot you have captured the H/Hr connection. Why others don't see this, I cannot understand...but you have written it well, and I have to admire how you have taken this from canon - it wasn't something manufactured...this was there and you made it come alive.

I really enjoy reading your stories. Am looking forward to the next one!

I like the way that you show how they are emotionally connected, so they have to be physically connected. It is not that they became a couple to be physically connected. It's that they're already so connected that they just need to get closer, to taste a little more. It's beautiful.

Great job! I love it! Is it one-shot? I hope not.
I wanna read more. that great emotions
hope you update soon ^.^

Oh! I love the lines [together] "It’s not an entirely rational thing we have...It’s like being trapped in a way...But… it’s also a little bit like being freed, wouldn’t you say?” How very poetic of you, and I also thought it was a really nice summary to the whole story.

I love the response Hermione has - very classic. Harry's was, too. Overall, I like the whole thing. It was sweet and had no need to explain itself, no need to set a time or date, but still manages to work out fine. It wasn't bogged down with the details, only with the characters, which I think is quite appropriate for a piece this short.

Great job.

WOW – such a good portrayal of angst between Harry and Hermione. I could feel Hermione’s doubts over whether Harry’s love was real or not and fell Harry’s anger/awkwardness is trying to express to Hermione just how much he needs/love her. This is how Book 6 should have ended.

This is lovely and just angsty enough. I think you're onto something, that the feelings between Harry and Hermione are beyond words for either of them, maybe so much so that they're unable to see what they have. It just IS. Lovely work, my dear.

That was a nice refreshing one-shot. You did very well making the distinction of what Harry has/had with Ginny and what he has with Hermione. And you're right...when it comes to herself, Hermione hasn't been very good with emotions. Thanks for a good read!

Damn, Goldy. Another great story. Is this a one-shot only? Hope not. This has really great potential. The emotions - your readers can really feel them. They are... So... Real...

Kudos to you, Goldy. I never know how you do it, but you're one of the best writers I ever came across with in the HP fanfiction-dom.

That was sweet! I love Harry's little speech to get her to stay! ^^ It made me smile! I just wish there was a man like Harry that would do that!

That was wonderful, Goldy. I enjoyed this a lot. Hermione would try and set him free, wouldn't she? Great job!

YAY! -claps wildly-
that was very angsty romance! i lurved it very much and keep going!!!
YAY!

That was the first song I heard off the new album when it was released. I instantly fell inlove with it.

Just like this story.

It had all the good parts that a H/HR should have. Them together, bit of angst, a lot of romance. A good backing theme doesn't hurt either! ;o)

Oh, my God. This is just so RIGHT. I don't know how else to praise this story, or your writing, or anything else. It's just RIGHT. Gah. I wish the words didn't fail me every time I need them like this.
