Yikes. Love this, I'm normally not a harry/hermione fan. You're doing this so well though.

Nice story.
Even if you may have (or not) gave us a hint about Harry profession i really think this story lack in that area, even if in a passing comment knowing what career they choose would make them a little more real (you have a good characterization)... and don't come here saying that not even JKR revealed that ;-)
Ciao!

Thank you, thank you thank you.
Seeing them grow apart or even "enemies" would have been tragic, while this is "only" sad but in a nice way.... if this is the way it is going ;-)
Ciao!

I just hope we aren't going to see a fight with all (or part) of the Weasley family nor some Weasley bashing.
That said it is quite a nice start.

Awesome. I really enjoyed reading a story with a positive portrayal of a Dursley. It makes sense given how they parted ways in the 7th book. Very nice lead-up to their coupling!

I enojoyed this story so much, particularly your characterization of the reformed Dudley. You always get the hint, at the beginning of DH, that he has the potential to become a decent person, and you really manage that here. I also like the way you re-worked the Epilogue into the ending - it's very cute and well done, and plausible given the relationships you've established. Thank you!

Now that was just absolutely great!
Fantastic job with the detailed descriptions of Harry and Hermionie's feelings.

Definitely deserved first place in the competition!

Oh my! Ginny handled that pretty well. Can\\\'t wait to see what\\\'s up next.

I've read this story probably a dozen times in the past six months or so, and it gets better every time. Your portrayal is exactly how I see Harry and Hermione in a non-epilogue, post Hogwarts setting. I also greatly enjoyed the growth of Dudley as a character, and his movement towards a person who actually has value in Harry's eyes.

The growth of all of your characters is treated very well, and I look forward to future re-reads. Thank you.

Very good. great story line. My first portkey story. i will look for more of your stories

*bawls* That was such a perfectly adorable ending! I absolutely loved the look into Harry and Hermione's life 17 years down the road and seeing how everyone turned out. I loved Jilly's letter at the end. I can completely see why this story is award-winning. Simply amazing. I am so glad I found this story and read it! I feel so much warmer within my heart. Congratulations on an amazing story!

So lovely to see Ron and Harry make up! I feel like Ron is a great influence in Teddy's life, and it is nice to see them all go to the park together, reconciling their friendship.

Love, Amanda

Harry and Ron hadn't really spoken prior to the break-ups? Wow. Did they simply grow apart in their older age? Harry is right - they were best friends. How could this have happened? Hopefully out of this relationship with Hermione, Harry and Ron will some how reconcile and slowly become true friends once more.

Love, Amanda

I'm really glad to see Harry and Dudley getting on so well now that they are all grown up. It gives me hope for the real world and people getting over their childhood arguments once both parties grow up. Things change. People change. Harry's relationship with Dudley is a great representation of that.

Love, Amanda

Very impressed with how Ron took his own break up in the middle of trying to deal with Ginny's. Hermione had great foresight to know to send Harry with Dudley on that night. I think it worked out much better that Harry wasn't around to deal with Ron.

Love, Amanda
