yet another brilliant part to this story!!! i have read a bunch of your pieces since i first reviewed the introduction to this story...include most (so far) of "A Fairy Tale for His Her-my-oh-nee" and i think this one will be me favorite!! i'm just here patiently waiting for more and keeping my fingers crossed that the story is going where i hope!!

thanks for some great reading material!!

very, very clever. You have put the thoughts of thousands into words - the HP series didn't seem to achieve what it was supposed to achieve. Look forward to seeing where you go with this. Good work. Oh, and I love you characters, very real.

i truly enjoyed this beginning to what i can see being a wonderful story and i love how you've had hermione talk to harry about a plot of life because i feel similar to the way you do about the ending of the series it just didn't have a good plot it truly needed something well i cannot wait for the next chapter...

Well that was unusal plot that i ever read.
I like it and some of it's sad about Harry and Hermione.
well it's time for me to go now.
so here is a cartoon ending for my comment.
So here it go's.
Tha tha tha tha that's all folks!

Dun, dun, dun...

Fantastic, Terri dear, simply fantasti. I really like how you've slowed down the exposition and the conversation and how it keeps going back and forth with the banter and the points that she's getting to--always moving forward, but in starts and fits. And that works, because she's obviously working it out as she goes along.

Well pookie it's about time you got your ass back to writing. You're are, and always will be one of my most favorite writers.

I haven't read ANY post book 7 stories because, well I didn't like how the book ended. I will read your story only because you're you Terri, and I know it will be amazing.

Keep up the good work

*hugs*

Interesting progression for the story...I actually enjoying how difficult it seems for Hermione to get around to the crux of the problem...makes the pumpkin pie all the more delicious when you have to wait for it.

Keep 'em coming!

Wow, you sure did tone this conversation down from what it was when you first started. It definitely gives it more focus since Hermione is not as angry. I liked how you have Hermione hinting what she really wants to say with the sudden "how much I ..." Always changes directions when she starts this sentence. Come one and just say. We all want to hear it.

The last sentence of the chapter pretty much summed up what I thought about DH.

"A clear, indisputable understanding that the sacrifices were somehow worth it in the end."

I can understand how some might mis-interpret what you are trying to say with this sentence. I think some are thinking that you are saying that everyone that died in DH died for nothing. This is definitely not the case. The sentence above is basically everything that is wrong about the epilogue. Not including shipping stuff but the stuff that was said. Ron's line about purebloods, telling his daughter to not be friends with the Slytherins, Albus worrying about being sorted into Slytherin, etc.. I mean seriously, WTF?? Has the wizarding world learned nothing from the whole Voldemort reign?

I am really glad that you are bringing up this point in your story. You can tell it however you want by the way. I don't think alot of people realize how messed up the epilogue really was. Truly looking forward to the next chapter. I am eagerly waiting to see if Hermione actually finishes one those, 'how much I ...'

I don't mean to be mean, honest, but I just don't buy all the stuff Hermione just said; sounded to me as if you, the author, wanted her to say those things (something you, of course gave us a lead on in the a/n at the beginning, but still).

Anyway, will wait for next chapter.

Cheers.

Good story so far. I felt like Harry when Hermione went off on her rant (confused) but then I got it. Keep writing.

Wow, you really are letting it all out hehe... I liked the book but I agree that there were some plot-holes... and the epilogue felt so different from the whole books, it was like reading a crappy fanfic... it didn't fit with the whole story and I think JK did that very poorly, she should've at least arrange it a little bit so it blended with the story, it was a very bad attempt at a closure for the HP world... looking forward to reading your next chapter, I want to see where you go with this story...

i could hug you a thousand times. this is the PERFECT post-DH story. you have so far come across and answered many of the questions that i've had while pondering the DH epilogue and what JKR tried to do to harry and hermione's relationship. i knew she wouldn't get away with it. i can't wait to see more of this story. i have a feeling that you will explain all the questions that i've had and probably answer them as well. as a proud h/hr shipper, i honestly don't know why JKR decided to try and dissolve their relationship. it's the deepest relationship in the whole series, and she tried to play it off as nothing. you can't write a whole series based on certain principles and morals and then try to discard them at the very end. finally, someone seems to fully understand this (not that i even do) and you, my friend, are a genius. i will definitely be following this story.

I am dying here!!! I can't wait to read the chapter! I love where she is going with her idea about the sacrifices. I think it is wonderful. You are doing so great! I was so thrilled to see an update from you! Keep them comin'!!

Anonymous--I think your jealous of the talent of this writer. If you don't like the story why are you reading it? It doesn't make much sense to me. If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. You must be a R/Hr shipper. There were alot of questions unanswered and at least someone is trying to do that. If you can do better let's see it. Keep up the good work, the story is great

Oh don't let it end here, I really wish there are more coming!!!
