I'm really looking forward to seeing this continue. I'm not sure I've ever read a story that goes quite the direction you seem to be headed, and that's always exciting  |

Nice start, really. Can't wait to see how you go on now |

That is truly some excellent thinking on Hermione's part. What a perfect way to show the ministry what they think of the lack of help our heroes received in their plight to save the world. I do wonder, what McGonagal and Dumbledore have offered Hermione... does it have to do with her and Harry? Are they offering her, or them, a teaching career? It would make no sense for Harry to still want to be an auror, given the appalling nature of the ministry.
Looking forward to all future installments.  ) |

Ok I checked the review in question and it is unfortunately anonymous so you cannot ask them personally I should imagine.
In one respect I would agree, Hermione is rather domesticated and is probably giving that sort of impression at the moment. However, if you think about it, Hermione does sort of mother Harry in the beginning, ensuring he comes to no harm - or if he does looks after him until he recovers. Another aspect of loving someone unconditionally includes this sort of behaviour so I see no difficulty.
Obviously if - as I suspect - the conversation with Dumbo and Minerva concerns a job offer at Hogwarts I would expect you to gradually hike up her skills and take Harry with her as she does, which would probably be more in character. She finds the answer and Harry applies it or they do it together. Whether or not this is the case in your game plan, it might be an idea for the both of them to discuss their respective futures; I'm not really a great fan of the 'Harry becomes an auror' group; as I would think seeing off the darkest wizard in history would be enough... but hey that's me and I'll read it anyway. I always fancy Harry taking over the DADA and staying there until he makes headmaster ... maybe another cliche (hey the accents come out funny when I upload) whatever that as the author is your perogative, but a way to move Hermione from the Molly type character. If both of them were to go to Hogwarts you could have them dancing around each other for a few chapters and interaction with people who might find it difficult to see them as professors.
Still as I see it you are the creator of this universe; it is yours to play with and develop as you see fit.
Ok that was very long and convoluted, but back to your translation. Ok I suppose its really another idiomatic and to *boldly* go is sort of meant eundem actually means 'go forth'.
A split infinitive is a no no in english grammar; to boldly go is a split infinitive; it would be better written as; to go boldly. To go - the infinitive is split by boldly, hence split infinitive. I don't think I found any in your work, but to be honest I'm being pedantic; nowadays grammar isn't marked as strictly as it once was.
Hey this is almost a letter and I'm keeping you from Chapter 3.
Bona fortuna, FS

Author Feedback: Bona fortuna... THAT one I know. Our Latin teacher always says it right before a quiz or test. : )
Thank you for your input on the matter. My ideas of Hermione are somewhat motherly, considering she always keeping Harry and Ron out of trouble, keeping them from cursing, forcing them to think things through, and helping them out - more Harry than Ron - whenever it's necessary. But I just want to ensure that I don't drop her intelligent persona and replace it with the maternal persona. I'd like a pleasant combination of both.
You're not far off with your guesses, but you'll have to wait and see for all the details. ; )
Thanks again! |

I'm here again; thanks for the reply
Vivas et floreas diu
As near as I can get to:
'Live long and prosper' a la Star Trek
('Ad eundum quo nemo ante lit!' Clue: the translation includes a split infinitive!)
Vivas: 2nd decl vivere - to live
Floreas: ditto florere - to flourish or prosper
diu: adverb daily; ergo (you) live and (you) prosper daily
As for how much latin; a reasonable 'O' level too msany years ago to count - hey there's the 1st declension of 'agere' again:-)once learned never forgotten:-)
Vale! FS |
Author Feedback: I've got a quick question for you, since so far you're my most conversational reviewer. ; ) I was given a tip by another reviewer that the character I've written for Hermione is too similar to Mrs. Weasley and I should be careful about that. So now I ask you if you think I should change her character at all?
P.S. I have no clue what exactly a split infinitive is, but from the translator I used it's something similiar to go where no man has gone before? |

i like the story till now. waiting to see where it goes. one thing- hermione.. we know she is bossy and knows best and likes to look after harry, but you are turning her into a mini version of mrs weasley.. eeks!not a good thought. she is way too motherish and that too in a weasley sort of way. could you pls look into that. |
Author Feedback: Thanks for the tip. I'll ask a few other reviewers to see what they think. : ) |
