Emotional and wonderful chapter! I did like your writing when THEY confessed to each other. Now I could see happy ending, thank you very much!

What a lovely reunion. H/Hr FOREVER!
I truly do hope Harry and Hermione find a way to reconcile their friendship with Ron. Like you, I love Ron too (just not with Hermione), and I really do think they work better as a trio. I can hardly wait for the next update. Hope you make it soon! |
Author Feedback: I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. It was definitely the least emotionally taxing of the ones I've written so far. As for chapter 5...I'm still writing that. I hope it works out too... |

I thought it would take longer for her to find him. I also thought it would take a bit more to get them together. It seemed like Hermione became sure of her feelings for Harry rather quickly and I thought Harry would take longer to believe Hermione loved him. I mean she'd been about to marry Ron and all of a sudden she's in love with Harry and he accepts it. I would think his innate insecurity and feelings of not being worthy would be running rampant at this point. I guess I just think it was a little too easy. So, will the next chapter show some time passing? Will Ron ever forgive them? |
Author Feedback: I'm sorry the reunion didn't work for you. I guess I can't please everyone  Yes, there will be a fairly significant passage of time in the next chapter. As for Ron...well... Thanks for your very substantive comments. |

I really liked this chapter. It was very good...honest...real...I liked how you showed that sex isn't always *perfect*
Amazing...
And the end...

So true...

Author Feedback: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for the exact quote from GOF -- I couldn't find my book so I paraphrased what I remembered. |

Great new chapter!
I'm glad Hermione found him (relatively) quickly.
Please write more soon! |
Author Feedback: Thanks! I'm working on the last chapter now. |
| |
Yeay!!! Hermione found him!! I'm soooo glad that it was a quick find, because I was expecting a...Three years later....A baby of that night...you know, hahahahaha....but it was great! Thanks, and I hope to see a new one soon!
Bye until next time! |
Author Feedback: LOL... no, I don't write 3-year waits with surprise babies... at least not in this story  And frankly, this story has enough angst in it; no need to add a baby to the mix. Thanks again. |

Oh, I am so happy! They are finally together. I feel bad for Ron as well, but they belong together, come what may. Great chapter! |
Author Feedback: I feel pretty bad for Ron too  I hated doing this to him, but Hermione really needed to figure out where her heart really belonged. Come what may, indeed. Thanks much. |

Another great chapter! I'm so glad that Hermione found Harry and that they are now together. I hope Ron accepts Harry and Hermione as a couple. Maybe Ron will surprise us with some insight saying that he's always felt from the beginning that Harry and Hermione should be together. I can't wait to read more chapters! Great job!! |
Author Feedback: Thanks very much! I appreciate your comments. |

Ah the much awaited update. I liked it, it wasn't that glorious reunion that you see so often in these stories. Your characters are flawed yet likable, and it makes the story seem much more genuine like this.
Thanks for writing,
Matt |
Author Feedback: Oh thank you!!!  That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about my writing. Honestly. Thank you so much. You've made my day |

That was quite excellent!! I think Ron handled himself quite well. Keep it coming, I can't wait to read more. |
Author Feedback: Thank you  I hope to post the new part soon. There will be 5 chapters total, and I'm writing chapter 5 now. |

This is a great story and I can't wait to see how Hermione finds Harry. They are meant to be together. |
Author Feedback: Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the story...be patient...it will happen (in this story AND in the books  |

wow, this chapter was really good. I loved Ron's perspective on everything. The maturity in which he handled things is uncommon in most fanfics and I'm glad you could portray him like that. I love the last two lines:
"Because, really, when I think of it, Harry and Hermione were an affair waiting to happen. I just wish their affair hadn't happened to me." I love it! It sums everything up so nicely and it so candid in it's truth. Beautiful. |
Author Feedback: Thank you!  I'd like to think that Ron HAS matured by the time he's 22-23. Also, he's had his suspicions, subconsciously, for a very long time. So it's not as though this is something that he's never thought could happen. He's trying to be realistic about it.
Thanks! I like those lines too |

Oh dear.. Harry shagging Hermione when she's getting married, that's not good at all.
The story, however, is.
Good job  |
Author Feedback: You're right, not good at all. Hence, the angst. Thanks for reviewing  |

I previously reviewed this story and commented that while it was very well written I would not be following it because I just can't handle angst. I think I have some emotional weakness that drwas me to fluff and makes me absolutely avoid angst.
Well, I saw that it was updated, and against my better judgement, I decided I'd take a peek inside and see how things progressed. Big mistake! Now I have been sucked into this vortex of angst and depression and as much as I don't want to be here, I can't wait to find out what happens next.
You have done a masterful job with this chapter in particular because as much as I blame Hermione (and Harry) for hurting Ron, you made me appreciate how much this event was also hurting her.
No one will blame Ron if he never speaks to them again. I, personally, don't think I would be able to stay sane if I ever found out that my wife was screwing my best friend, so I have heaps of respect for Ron being able to at least maintain his cool with Hermione. To sleep with your best mate's wife (or your husband's best mate) is the lowest form of betrayel in my mind. And here I do consider Hermione Ron's wife in the sense that they were living together (apparently for a while)and had made a commitment to each other that was known to friends and family. The fact that they hadn't officially been married, to me at least, is an insignificant detail. The betrayel is still painful. Great line:
"It wasn’t planned, Ron. We didn’t mean to hurt you."
"But you did anyway."
"Yes. We did." Her face was somber.
Ouch!!Poor Ron!
I don't think I can express how bad I feel for Ron. In my mind he's always been a loyal and faithful friend to Harry (barring the beginning of GOF)and this just kicks him in the head. As I already mentioined, you've done a good job with this because as bad as I feel for Ron, I can also see that the pain she has caused really bothers Hermione.
I can't see how you can possible get an even remotely happy ending from this, but I've been completely drawn in and I can't wait to see how it's resolved . Even if they all reconcile, Ron will never be the friend to either of them that he once was, and that is a terrible, terrrible shame.
Thanks for sharing a very powerful story. It has really moved me and actually completely altered my mood.

Author Feedback: Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for deciding to take a chance on this story again. This is probably the most angsty thing I've ever written, and I'm fairly sure I don't want to go down this particular road again. You're right that it will be difficult for Ron to be friends with Harry and Hermione after this, at least the depth of friendship they had before. I think a lot of readers tend to idealize the Trio and assume that because they're best friends they would never be able to hurt each other. I think that they're al flawed people, because they're human, and that they're capable of hurting each other greatly. Thanks again for taking the time to write such a long, substantive review. I really appreciate the thought you put into it. |
