I'm so glad you found Hermione to be realistic - thank you very much!

[lareinenoire]

Oh goodness. Hermione's voice sounds so real--everything from her love of knowing things to her odd sort of pragmatism at hte end. Very well done!

[archon_mentha]

^__^ Thank you! Hermione is a very complicated character, I think, and I'm so glad you liked her!

She winced as she remembered attempting to scry into the boys' showers and being caught by McGonagall; fortunately, no one, not even Ron or Harry, had ever suspected she'd been the one to lose so many house points. *cackles madly* Naughty Hermione!

After all, if the future were as clear as that, then prophecies would make sense and would not be phrased like riddles and only understood after the fact. Oooh, I like this. It's true, yet slightly snarky, capturing the straighforwardness of Hermione's brain and subsequent attitude toward Divination.

God, this really is powerful, you know. Hermione's voice is clear through this, and it flows with a very tense drive that works perfectly.

Traveling backwards in time felt somewhat like having all of ones bones removed and then being sucked down a drain. Small beta point... Should be one's with the apostrophe.

*Hugs* Thank you so much for all of your help. You are amazing. ^__^ *loves and promises to add apostrophe right away*

Poor Hermione. I really don't want her to die, but at least you've given her a chance to prepare herself for it first, and let her make good use of her knowledge rather than having her experiment be just a stupid mistake. Powerful story, well written.

That's what I was hoping for - to show a strong person making the most of a bad situation. Thank you very much for reading!

Wow. That was excellent. I don't really think you interpreted your quote oddly, either--just creatively. I never would have gotten this story out of that quote.

You like? Really? *beams proudly* Er, yeah. The brain does its own thing, sometimes. I've learned to just let it be. ^__^ *Hugs* Thanks!
