You know the one thing about you I hate is the fact that you can keep me gripping on your work no matter how far apart the updates are.

Damn it.

Now *this* is Harry and Hermione as I always wished for--as I will *always* imagine them to be!

AMAZING, I have to say I love it, it really was an amazing story, now I wish you have written the 'tonight' scene, LMAO, anyway, amazing story, well written, and definetly one of my fav stories, Congrats

amazing!! extraordinary!! i loved this story!!!
I love how you put in the hormornal prev-ish part into Harry.

It was so real, the romance. i cannot describe it in words, all i can say is that this might be my fave story of urs.

HPHG FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha i loved that chapter! rereading one fo my faves of your work!!! man, I just realized how long i haven't been on Portkey. *sob*

again great job on your work! u clearly are a writer...kudos 4u

I can't believe I missed this chapter the day you posted it! But, to be honest, I've pretty much been avoiding all Harry Potter websites since July began for fear of spoilers. But after the crap that was the epilogue of DH, I had to find some wonderful Harry and Hermione love. I came right to your stories. You write them so well together; they are just adorable and so much more believable than any relationship in canon. So cheers to you! This was a fantastic end to a great story! Keep the fluff alive!

Well ended. Your insight into their personalities and your restraint speak well for your writing. I shall read what I can of your other output and hope for more to come.
Thanks, Old Chuck

wow... beautiful story. I absolutely love it... especially the last few sentences... beautiful

oh yesss i am definitely adding u to my my faves list...yup ur just that amazin

Great story!

Loved how you put in the words 'platonic' and 'delusional'. Dont know if you meant to do this. But everytime I read them, I remembered about JK Rowling interviews and the theories I've read in portkey forum. Always but a smile on my face when I read how you used the words.

Thumbs up to a great story

"He only peripherally noted the disgruntled expression cross Ginny’s face"

YES!!!! He stuck it to Ginny!!!!!

“By the next morning, Harry had decided exactly what he was going to do about his new physical reaction to Hermione.
Nothing. “

Oddly I wasn’t expecting that.

“Harry squirmed. “No. I- it just happened. She- she was just smiling at me and- and I couldn’t help it!”"

Snort!!!

“Really, he told himself, he should be feeling relieved. He should be feeling triumphant, smug even, at just how successful his impulsive plan had turned out to be. He should be feeling pleasure that, if he wanted to and if any witch happened to catch his eye, he could try to chat her up and get to know her, free from his entourage of fan-girls.
He wasn’t."

Silly Harry

“Seamus guffawed. “Naturally, I’m sure talking is all he has in mind.”"

*grin* when did Seamus get so smart?!?!?!?

““I- I want to stop this,” he blurted out the first words that came to mind. “I want to stop pretending.””

Harry is so thick headed…I love it!!!!!!!!

“Harry mentally grimaced. Bloody Terry Boot. Always so obvious in his crush on Hermione—well, he could just go chat up some other bloke’s girl. Hermione was his”

Is it wrong that I find this funny???

“He opened his mouth to say that he had meant it—which he had—but stopped, suddenly uncomfortable at making such a confession. “Drat and here I was planning to recite a sonnet I composed about your eyes,” he quipped with mock disappointment.
“Actually, I was hoping for an epic poem about my eyebrows,” she informed him with mock seriousness.
“That was going to come after the sonnet,” he deadpanned.”

Crack!!!!

““I’m sorry!” he blurted out, panic edging his voice. “I didn’t mean to; I just—it was, um, an accident and won’t happen again, I promise,””

Can he dig a deeper hole?

Thanks for posting!!!

"Hermione’s smile was bright and her expression one of unselfconscious and completely sincere enjoyment in his company while his was much the same."

Please tell me he kept the picture!!!!

"(The very idea of it made him laugh, although Hermione had been quite irate. Him intimidate Hermione-- as if he really could! When Hermione was the only person he’d ever met who seemed completely uncaring of the fact that he was famous and had never let it stop her from telling him when she thought he was being a prat or making a mistake! When Hermione was just as powerful, magically, as he was, if not more so, simply because of how clever she was! Half the time, he rather suspected that if it ever came down to it, she could probably defeat him in a real duel and Merlin knew that she could be downright intimidating herself when she was truly angry about something—although fortunately, he had yet to experience having that rather awesome anger of hers directed at him. Never mind the fact that he’d sooner cut off his own hand than frighten or hurt Hermione in any way.) "

Just an FYI you really didn't need the () for this part. The paragraph would have flowed just fine with out it.

Once again great chapter!!!

"she purred, managing to make it sound like they’d been having a very intense, personal talk. (Harry seemed to remember that they’d talked about the weather.)"

I swear I cracked up at this part.
