Well, the restaurant scene was also especially fun to read, as well. Great chapter!

You probably have one of the best writing styles on PK. The characterisations of some of the characters are superb (McGonagall springs to mind, although she's much more severe than I'm normally used to) and you're descriptive without going over the top.

If I have a minor gripe at all, it's that Harry and Hermione seem to be aged well beyond their years, although I suppose you can explain this away through circumstances, especially Harry. The restaurant scene seemed to be a little weird to me, not the fact that they danced, but the fact that they were having dinner and wine etc yet are only 15? But as I said, very minor gripe and the scene fit the whole tone of the story well. Much darker than I usually read and nI'm enjoying it! Thanks for writing.

Ron is now on my hate list!!! Who is this Esmerelda? What does she have to do with Dumbledore? Guess I'll find out later. Good work!!!

my fav part!

“Y-You look beautiful, Hermione.” He stammered.

Smooth.

Die.

LOL i luagehd out loud that was really goos im adding this to chapter alert!

Just read all four chapters, and wanted to let you know how much I loved them. This is a wonderful story so far, and I think it's just going to get better.

I'm loving the Harry/Hermione interactions. They're so great together. Darn Ron though!! LOL The dancing scene was wonderful.

Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to read the next chapter. This is def going on my Alerts list.

This was a great chapter. I wonder what Mcgonagle is going to think when she hears what happened. I am also looking forward to what Esmerelda has to say. Also wondering, it sounded like Harry and Hermione were at a really nice Italian Restaurant. WHat was Ron doing there anyway?

I just knew I should've stuck that fat pig Dursley with a poker an roasted him while he was in that nasty hut on the rock. Never should've let any of em live. Thats me problem yer see? too soft heated fer me own good. Yer've started a good story here, so now I'll read the next bit then, shall I? Send me an owl if yer need me.

I am really enjoying this story. I'm wondering what will happen when the Order catches up with Harry and Hermione. I'm starting to think they might be better off severing ties with the Order and carrying on the fight against Voldermort in their own way

This is some of the best written fanfic I have read. Good work

The constant change of POV is really giving this story a sense of movement, but it's not so fast as to miss out on the details. Great job.

Harry seemed to make a move on Hermione far sooner than I had anticipated, however, Ron is now on the scene and I'm sure that could put the brakes on any attempt to re-ignite the romance for the time being.

This mysterious new character is already raising many questions and I'm quite interested to see how things play out.

Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

Great job with this entire story, i like the way it moves not sticking with one thing and not explaning everything either, it's a great story and i cant wait for an update.

Excellent chapter and I am really enjoying how this story is going. I do hope you update here in the next few days because I cannot wait to see where you go with this story.
God bless,

Fantastic. This story is so deeply written, amazing. You're an unbelievable good descriptive writer. One final thing:

UPDATES FAST!!!

Great story so far. Just a question. The story appears to take place following book 5 but you said it has book 6 spoilers. are you using characters from it or something?

lol! there chasing after an ice cream truck! if the heats anything like what I've experienced this summer, I wouldn't want to be running, but the ice cream would be great.. lol... hope they don't pass out from the heat.. I'm wondering if there's something she's not saying about Ron.. or is he really in Manchester.. hmm.. great chapter.. keep it up!!
