That was beautiful. I'm glad that they finally were able to tell each other how they felt and move on with their lives together. Great job.

An excellent story and a great first chapter - I can understand why Harry would want to go and find himself, though I'm surprised he didn't come back when he realized he was in love with Hermione. Great job.

Oh my gosh!!! what a really nice start!!! i totally love it!!!!

Great story, very cute and realistic all the same. Thanks for writing and posting.

This is a very good story. I do like the build up that you have created. it is time to now go to chapter 2.

great story so far.

Don't mind me just adding this to my favourites... as always I love your work

Yes, very nice. A clever little bit of complexity added with the notion that Harry might have been confused with his feelings for Hermione because she represented his link to home. Harry's talk with Ron was nicely done.

Very nice. I got a good sense of 'young adults graduated from Hogwarts' from this, a feeling/impression of a Hermione who had flowered into young womanhood. Maybe it was the way she 'perfectly fitted' into Harry

I'm glad you didn't artificially keep them totally apart - well, aside from sending Harry to the other side of the planet! - it made sense for Harry to call her up on the telephone.

> There is none of the blah that I felt with Cho, and none of the loud, in your face attraction that I felt with Ginny – but a warmth, a comfort.

Excellent sentence; well, the 'blah' could have been replaced with a different word - 'excitement'? 'first-time buzz'? But the 'in-your-face attraction' and 'a warmth, a comfort' were perfect for the other two.

you said you got only a few reviews for this story. i say that's incredible coz it just blew me away!! first of all it's from harry's POV & he's the one pining & longing for hermione. second, even if it's from a man's POV, it's heartwarming, romantic and elicits a delicious feeling that's not entirely about sex. the only shortcoming is the brevity of the story but i still felt very good after reading it

Well done! Fantastic job! This was such an adorable story! I love it! Your characters really had...character (pardon the pun), and they were not two-dimensional. Nice work!

Oh a lovely little story. It all turned out well for them that's so nice. I love the handprints hermione found him.

taht was an amazing story, omg, amazing!!!!!!1 That is also a VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG, its SOOOOOOOOO FITTING!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A very good story, I liked it very, very much! congratulations!

Great story! Loved the ending and how they told each other how they felt about one another.

Liking it so far. Kinda seemed Harry went to bed in a hurry. Off to read the next chapter.
