What a amusing little story!!!
It started out kind of sad with Hermione looking at herself in the mirror and thinking of spending New Year's Eve by herself but then a certain messy haired wizard showed up to sweep her off her feet.
I see that you like to reuse names of Harry's Exes throughour your stories. He is once again dating Sarah but no Heather in site.
Kind of feel bad for this Sarah person as she has been dumped by Harry twice now.
That was a very romantic scene at the balcony. I am surprised that Hermione did not hex him for making her wait and wait for an explanation. It was so funny that those darn tabloid reporters always find a way to get around Harry's wards. At least next year with Hermione, they will be able to do that.
I am amazed how well you write your versions of Hermiones. I guess you are right that the things that happen in one's life helps shape what type of person you become. The Hermione here is much more like 'Reawakening' and 'Sexiest Witch' Hermione. I am still anxiously awaiting your updates for 'Changes' and 'Reawakenings' but I guess I will have to make due with your older stories. Moving onto Letters next.
and I loved the ending lol it kinda reminded me of an episode of the nanny where Maxwell yells Miss Fine!
