This piece of mind boogling, nerve touching piece of literature deserve a sequel or at least a novel length story. No scratch that. You have just made me realised a great potential and I will write it myself.

This was wonderful! Early Harry/Hermione closeness, and maybe more. :-) Definitely a scene that should have happened.

This was sweet... if only we could have seen this in the book, but it would have been a bit young to start a romance. Though I could see Harry explaining it away as "fairy tale magic" or some such idea.

Awww. Poor Harry. I can imagine him scared like that at 12, but not really wanting other people to know.

Yeah, that damn MN crowd. I think they pressured JK into it. I think they've all got a "thing" for "certain red-heads" and wanted Ginny paired with Harry even though there's no possible explanation that would justify Harry and Ginny being together. Where as Harry and Hermione hold a vastly larger connection (to each other) and appeal. MNet was just acting on a 3 year olds mentality of not getting what they wanted when the stories weren't going the way they wanted them to and probably threaten JK's kids or something. Anyhoo, this was a cute one-shoot and is very plausible for an actual scene with in the book that never made it to the editor.
I still have not seen *anything* in the books that would give reason to Harry and Ginny ending up together. The only thing is that Lily and Ginny both have red hair and I don't think an entire relationship should be centered on hair.
(Okay need to stop this.) Kudos to you for this nice little sidetrack. A little break in the current world of fanfic about how Harry and Hermione are now as apposed to how they started. You two keep up the great work, 'kay!

Very well written, as always! I guess it would just have been too easy to have her wake up and to have the story go the *right* way!

This piece is rather lovely. Poor Harry, he tries so hard for a twelve-year-old.

That was certainly an enjoyable little snippet from you mad, although I would almost hazard a guess that your getting soft on us. Maybe 'soft' is the wrong word, but your stories seem to be lacking in the speed, swiftness and violence of action that you used to incorporate within them.

Even still I can see where a a bad day could arouse the need for something too good to be true, but too horrible not to happen would arrise.

*let me stop blubbering and let YOU write, eh*

wow. that was definitely a scene that should have been in the book. i liked how you wrote harry's character, his words and mind seemed so simple and appropriate for his age. it was a great one shot and i did enjoy it. =)

I love young Harry and Hermione's relationship. It is pure and innocent. My fav is third year. I wish there is someone

That was beautifull, a wonderfull little story. I always felt that in CoS, Harry was much more worried about Hermione than Ron. Just one of many things in books 1-5 that made me an H/Hr shipper. Shame Rowling didn't notice them.

This makes a good addition to your collection. I love all your stories but I'm a little concerned about War of Shadows as you haven't updated on ages. I hope you haven't abandoned it

Absolutely brilliant I really do wish that you were the one who had written all of the HP books as the result would have been much better..

That was so sweet. I love the connection to sleeping beauty and the innocence of the characters.

I agree with you. This scene *was* in COS. JKR just didn't include it because she was furious that Harry did something that was completely in character but not in her "master" plan.

I've always thought the hug Hermione gives Harry at the end of COS was put in by a *cough* delusional *cough* editor after the copy went to print.

A beautiful little snippet, there, and a most poignant one. It definitely has the proper feel of something that very well couldn've happened and probably should have happened.
