This was recommended on Live Journal's Crack Broom community, and I thought I'd come take a look. I'm so very glad I did. This is marvelous; I especially loved that you wrote it from a third party's perspective

Very, very nice.

I simply love this story. I like how you have captured the essence of H/H. Trust. and having a third party observe it was a nice touch. Thanks for writing it!

GORGEOUS. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I LOVED EVERY WORD OF IT.

That was a lovely story--thanks! I wish we could see the portraits. I almost can, from the way you describe them. Beautifully done!

I love how we see Harry and Hermione's love for each other through another character. It was a lovely read. You made me want to see the portrait. I would love it if an artist did make a fanart like the ones in your story. It would be so sweet seeing it.

I'm reading this while listening to Misti's Harmonics mp3 ... I'm glad I did 'cos in my first reading, I had missed how this fits perfectly right after the DOM attack.

That was a really good story. I've never read anything like it before. It's original and very well written. You get a really good mental picture of the painting because you were so discriptive. You did a great job.

This is a gorgeous little fic. I love the idea of Harry trying to make sure Hermione's parents have something of her and how that leads so naturally and logically to his revelation. It's a great use of Dean too, I really like how you write him. Excellent story!

omg, so cute!! i can't remember if i reviewed or not. oh, well. i love stories that come from another pov. it really gives a unique telling. and what dean observes, and then paints, it's thanks for the oneshot. i don't even like oneshots usually.

Awww... that is a beautiful story. Sometimes you have to see things from a different perspective in order to finally put the pieces together. Great job.

Have you posted this anywhere else? Feel free to give their URLs in here so I could include them. I went to your FA page but didn't see this there.

How clever to use Dean's POV! I'd nearly forgotten about his artistic talent. I remember quite a few discussions about how so many other characters saw how H/H cared for each other. Krum, Cho, McGonagall, Ron, Skeeter, the list goes on and on. Then of course there's us PK-ers, Kloves, Cuaron ...

Very convincing reason for Harry to want this portrait. Loved that scene of Hr smiling at the sight of Harry laughing with the boys.

Short and Sweet and stating the obvious to at least one of them.
Still i like a few more of these snippets in their lives.

You have a knack of making these so loving yet dramatic!

Kudos!

That was so.... so.... well.... it hit home... it was outstanding that's what it was...
absolutely beautiful writing....will we get an ad ones to this???

Aww... This was adorable. Dean is my new favourite character, lol. I love stories which portray HHr from a third person' point of view.
