wonderful *sigh*... I think I've read the story before and just reread it... I love it
Is there a Sequql to it? I'd love to read one

Thanks for writing and sharing this great story

This was absolutely /wonderful!/ I teared up a couple of times, even. What a wonderful story! /sigh!

I admit that I haven't been around Portkey, or even the internet in general, for quite some time. But I'm glad I took some time out of my mad schedule to re-read this fantastic fic!
I - I really don't know what to say.... Few books, let alone fanfics, have made me cry, but this is one of those rare things.... Like finding a five dollar bill while on your daily walk to work or school ... A change in your daily routine.
The story itself is structured simply; beginning, flashback and then end, but like I've heard more than once, when you look at a gravestone and you see a name and a couple of years with a line in between; you feel sombre about the death, yet you don't like about that simple line in the middle which REALLY symbolizes the life of the person. It's the soul of this story that is so fantastic! The subtlety of the Harry/Hermione relationship and the feeling the reader gets at the end of wanting MORE and MORE is just bloody fantastic! Let me say that again: bloody FANTASTIC!
I love this. If I ever go to Church (which I probably won't seeing as I'm an atheist, but that's not the topic I'm discussing right now), I'll certainly pray that I will find I have a friend like the Hermione you have written in this fic.
'Cause that's what real friendship's about. The willingness to protect someone....
I end this review with this note: You have really touched my heart, 'cause I know personally what Hermione's gone through, having no REAL friends who I can talk to ... and relate to.
Thank you dearly for writing this.

Hmm. A reworking of the first six books with a seemingly minor yet wholly significant alteration. Interesting.

This story was very sweet - I enjoyed it, for I was able to see a different take on things that while being so different from the ways things turned out in the novels, it was believable...
You have a true and amazing talent as a writer! As I've said before, I was completely hooked on Forever Knight (still am), and I felt as though I was living it. I laughed, and cried, and swooned, and every other possible emotional reaction there is - I practically felt what the characters felt!
I can't wait to see more of your writing (and I am hoping and praying desperately for some sort of sequel to Forever Knight, or anything else that might have connection to it)...

Ah. This is the second time I read this, and my eyes were again wet when I finished doing so. Bloody dust particles....

wow. words cannot describe how sweet and lovable and all of the LOVE just pouring out of that story. you are, in a word, a GOD.

I LOVED IT!!! great job!!! its so adorable how harry noticed her so much through out their years...very cute!

He wanted to be her best friend, and maybe, sometime in the future, he could aspire for more.

It could happen.

He smiled and she blushed, smiling back just before she looked away and squeezed his hand back.

It felt so warm and pleasant.

It could happen.

But little steps at a time. A friendship with Hermione Granger was promising to be a wonderful thing. Why rush it?

“I wish you’d think of me that way, too,” he said with a shy shrug. “I promise I’m pretty good at it. I try, at least. I like your company. I always have. Sometimes I’m the one who wonders if you like mine.”

“Harry!” she gasped. “Of course I like your company! You’re—You’re the best company…” She blushed very deeply. “Sorry, that sounded silly. It’s true, though… for me, at least.”

He felt the flush rising in his cheeks as well. “T’wasn’t silly. Reckon it sounded really nice, to me…”

Somehow, they felt a tad awkward and they let go of one another’s hands, but Harry didn’t feel the least bit rejected. In fact, he felt rather… giddy about it.

It could happen.

This part always makes me emotional for some reason, Eve. I think I've already reviewd this little story of yours, but I just felt like doing it again. I love it. It's original and cute and so wonderful to read.

thanks for writing for us, girl! ^_^

I just came across your fic, and wanted to say how much I liked it.

Love how you encorporated Hermione into the events of Harry's life, without them being the Best Friends they are. It was very believable, and something I'd not read before -so bonus points for an original story. And love that Harry DID consider her a friend, even though she stayed to herself.

Of course LOVE that they ended up they way they did. With him realizing that it was her all along that was helping him. Great moment.

I would love to see the story of them going on the Horcrux Hunt, and getting to really know each other. Could be very interesting. LOL

Anyway, just wanted to say Great job! and I'm off now to start reading your other stories now that I've found them. You can expect feedback for them when I do.

a really different idea - which i enjoyed a lot - looking forward to reading more of your stories soon

Awww, this was beautiful.
And pretty much how I'd see things happening.
In my mind, it is no doubt, H/Hr for me.

Oh wow, that was so cool - I love the premise of the story and the way you wove all of the 6 books into the story so seamlessly. Amazing

This story was awesome! You were able to capture the essence of what makes Harry and Hermione great together. I would love to read more stories about this AU.

i think this fic is awesome. i remember reading it some time ago when i wasn't a portkey member; i don't think i left a review because i didn't know how at the time but i remember getting all giddy while reading this. yes i read it repeatedly on a dead day. it always lifted me up a bit after a low day. AWESOME! i wish you would write more fics like this too. FK and HFG were and are AWESOME always and forever but your one shots do the trick for me too! do write more of these! this one is just absolutely ADORABLE. wonderful. i hope to see more action in the one shot arena soon! especially after FK ends. i know it will be ending soon. unless you'll go into the 30's in chapter numbers - THAT would be SWEET!
::dashing around for cover::
you are AWESOME eve. absolutely LOVELY!
