what an enjoyable little fic, with that touch of tenderness that has been the hallmark of Harry before canon fell apart, and in essentially all of the fanfics that I have enjoyed over the last 7 years.
thanks for this and all of your other wonderful stories.

I really like this story. you really have an amazing talent

What a huge little snippet. In one fleeting scene, a world of meanings.

There's Harry's nerves. Breaking so many rules and risking being caught sneaking around at night.

Which must speak of his desperation, particularly his despair of losing her.

The handholding. As if he would will her into wakefulness. Surely, a gesture of more than affection. So effortless and fitting here. Every other handholding scene in every other fanfic is cliche next to this.

The cupboard. A symbol of the adversities in his childhood, but with at least one redeeming value. It's where he read books, which must have taught him hope.

The confession of what must be more than just feelings of friendship (I would rather have died than not met you...), and a nod to the complicated triangular relationship that keeps them from being expressed (...and Ron).

The much-touted subliminal connection: "But I know you can (hear me)."

A nod to her indomitable spirit: fighting to break through the Basilisk's magic.

Their evident relationship, co-dependence: "I am pretty useless without you."

Youth and innocence: Maybe a kiss will work. He's all of 12 or 13 alright. No mistaking it.

And finally, love. "It worked in the story." Maybe my love will do the trick. No doubting how he feels, is there?

As with love songs, so with love stories. The most powerful pieces don't even include the word love.

That was such a beautufil, heart-felt and incredibly touching story nearly made me cry with the sincerity in it You truly captured the moment and their character. The youngness of hthe mind yet the maturity for their age. Beautiful... Your brilliance of the writing is astouning and you leave me utterly speechless with this masterpiece of a work. Caught so beautifully and so true and ana amazing story to say the least. You captured Hermione's reaction and feelings so well it was scary. The magic of it and the line that you described it with was utterly brilliant! Beaufiful touching story written by a sensational author

aww, that was so sweet, short, but sweet. I am definitely gonna read some more of your stories now, after reading that.

This was just choice. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for a fine bit of fluff.

Hi!
I've been reading your stories for months now, but it wasn't until some days ago that I registered, so some of your anonymous reviews are mine. I hope I can give you now more personal ones I'm from Spain, so don't expect perfect English...

I really liked the story, it is sweet and I think it pictures perfectly how Harry was at the time of COS, still a little boy, who was begining to understand the world and who knew that he himself was changing.

great job, as always

Wow, I like that one. Just out of curiosity, what was the story that he was thinking about? The only thing I can think is Snow White...

It's very sweet. I really like the innocent way Harry tried Fairy tale magic.
It did imply a somewhat rather adult solution but in an innocent way.
Had Harry seen the deeper breathing and realized the implications there's no doubt in my mind that his reaction would've been:
See ya

owww... howwww sweettttttttt
really, never thought about it...
really sweet, i love it and its orignal...

Wow. I loved that one. I loved how you brought in the real despair that he felt when she was gone. It made it so real. And the fact that he figured that if it worked in the fairy tale it should work for him. I loved it and I'm supremely glad that you wrote it. Thank you.

If I hadn't known any better, I could have sworn this was a lost part of JKR's chapter in COS. That is, before she turned to the typical R/Hr ship that everyone knows is coming. Great concept, I'll be reading more from you.

Awwww, that was the most adorable little story ever. I'm really glad you wrote this as it brought back to life some of my damaged Harry Hermione love. What with JKR and several other people shunning us, it just hasn't been the same for quite a while. This brought back some of my old passion for their relationship.

This was a sweet story. Very nostalgic in a way because it takes you back toward the beginning of the series. I can definitely see Harry acting like that - trying to find some sort of solution, no matter how wild it may seem. I like the mood of the story...and how it displayed that even early on, the two of them had a special closeness.

That was utterly beautiful. I love the rhythm and language you used, how well you set the scene. And I love how Harry tried to wake his Hermione, because anything was worth trying. Thank you for sharing this!
