Painful. So painful. Poor Hermione. *bawls*

Oh. *sobs* that's heartbraking

*Pats you on the hand and offers a box of tissues* Thank you kindly for commenting!

If you have a moment, please read the uncut version (the link is "original version" in the author's notes). Thanks again!

[bloodanna]

*Takes a tissue* Thanks :). I read the uncut version but, I still love this one better. It's more to the point, the words of this one are like ribs protecting the heart of the story, where as the uncut's words act like a forming blood clot stopping some of the flow of it and threatening to kill it's heart .
(Try to read those words as kind, as that's how they are meant :). )

Simple and sad. I really like that this deals with such a REAL miggle-born wizard problem. Sad and lovely. Well done.

[altiloquent]

*ahem* muggle-born *blushes*

[julia_fractal]

Thanks so much! The realization that a witch or wizard would outlive all of their Muggle relations/friends/lovers just hit me one day, and this was the result.

I'm now bizarrely fond of the word "Miggle". Maybe it can be used to describe very short Muggles, or Muggle children?

[altiloquent]

A little muggle child would be a miggle, I think. We've invented it. :o)
