really a beautiful story i look forward to reading some of your other works

sorry for the double post but i forgot to add this to my favs

ah this is such a sweet story and i love how you had hermione finally get the jane that is such a neat idea

This should have been the clear winner! I loved it! I also love Jane Austin. I like making the Potter characters fit in with other stories...even music. Like the Police's 'Every little thing she does is magic.' Great story!!!

this is great, and the analysis of emma being linked with the characters are great

I loved that you left it open ended and didn't give the reader everything

amazing!!!I love it and it makes a lot of sense of a lot of things!

This story is not my cuppa but I had to read it as it was a "winner" in that contest.

I'm disappointed in that you made Hermione a home wrecker but did not make her a "Scarlet Woman" after all.

DEFINITELY could have used some chase or fight scenes! You should have made at least one divorce like "The War of the Roses".

Lovely story, and an intelligent mechanism as well. Once again, you never fail to amaze me

While I do not really know Austen that well (dragged to the movie version of Emma by my beloved) I like the way you have created the analogies and gone slowly with the relationship that should have been in canon from book 6

Awesome! Keep writing! I want to read more of your stories.

I haven't read anything on Portkey in ages.. In fact, I haven't read anything in the Harry Potter world in what feels like forever. It wasn't that I was bitter how the 7th book ended. That book was actually my favorite in the series. I just haven't found anything worth reading in this HP world, until now. I think this story has brought it all back to me, why I love these two characters so, so much. Such a beautiful, subtle story, as always, and definitely worth the win for this contest. Great job, and hopefully you can find time to write some more with a newborn in the house..

Hello DeliverMeFromEve!

I loved this fanfiction! I always thought Harry and Hermione would get together after they've divorced Ginny and Ron, so I wasn't depressed when I read the 7th book. I am eagerly waiting for the 2nd chapter! You are a great writer, and I simply loved how you wrote the plot making referrences to one of Jane Austen's greatest books, Emma.

P.S: I accidentally pushed the [Report this story to the admins] buttom, but I closed the window almost immediately when I realized what buttom I've pushed. I hope it doesn't take your fic off the website, it was an accident, I'd never want your story offline.

Best wishes,

So, so, so kawaii!! ( means cute ) I really hope there is a second chapter!

What a great read - this is truly a lovely chapter. There are so very few authors of post DH HHr stories out there who have been gutsy enough to brave writing one with the epilogue intact. We need good ones with a better outcome to get over the ill feeling from reading what JKR wrote. And although I have only read the first chapter, I already feel the bad taste of the epilogue leaving my mouth. Thanks for doing this.

Divorce is always sad, I feel bad for Harry and Ginny. (Ron was never right for Hermione - so I don't feel bad about that ) As much as I ship Harry-Hermione, I can see your story from Ginny's POV and it's sad because she gave years of her life taking care of Harry and the kids - for whatever reasons she had, she did and did so very well, and she ends up driving him away. I know Harry tried his best to make things work out but he still comes across to me like an ungrateful, self centered prat unless Ginny was the one to give up trying to make things work out.

Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining that they're divorced Really looking forward to reading the rest of it and congrats on being amongst the winners of the Elder Wand Competition.
