This is so sweet! And so well written, I love your Hermione, and it was lovely to see everyone healing, but sad too - the mention of Ron and Percy really got to me.

Even more disturbingly, it stated that only an estimated 1.2% of the British population was homosexual (female), which meant that the chances of her being a lesbian were quite small.

I giggled out loud at that. :) You made me fall in love with all of these characters - really wonderful story.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed this, Greenspine! I have enormous affection for Liseuse's version of these characters, so this was much fun to write. (Particularly the researchy bits.) Thanks for reading and commenting! Maggie

oh, hermione.

i like this tsory a lot; i'm especially fond of her notebooks and lists and the weekend spent thinking logically.

well done!

Hermione does have a certain approach to life, doesn't she? Thanks for reading! Maggie

On another note entirely, would you mind if I friended you?

[rufus]

not at all, friend away!

Ah. This was really lovely. Quite made my afternoon. :D

Eventually she had to tell her parents, which she did over the telephone, because she figured she had shown so much courage in the last battle with Voldemort that she was entitled to take the easy way out for a few years. ("Gryffindor" being a description of someone's bravery over a lifetime and not necessarily a challenge to do foolhardy things at every opportunity.) -- hee hee, indeed.

Draco/Neville! Mwah!

Ginny's parents were still mourning the deaths of two sons. (Funny how easy it was to say that these days, "the deaths of two sons," as if those two sons didn't have names and they weren't talking about Ron and Percy.) -- I love this.

Pansy was learning quickly to be suspicious of lists Hermione made in her free time. - *snicker*

Really well done, I love how Hermione has grown in to herself, after Hogwarts.

So glad you enjoyed! liseuse has fabulous characterizations of Pansy and Hermione and Neville and Draco and some very spot-on ideas of how school-era antagonisms (heightened by politics) might fade into snark and sparring and friendship when the war is over. I do love Hermione, still gamely researching and working and achieving after all this time. Thanks for reading and commenting! Maggie

Not a proper comment because I am too tired to type coherently, but I really enjoyed this so very, very much. The notebook keeping and really, everything is just so very, very Hermione, and you get the other characters down *so well* in such a small space of description, too. Oh, the spots!!

[magnetic_pole]

I'm so glad you enjoyed! We probably shouldn't go into just how much I like and identify with Hermione *cough* but she's a lot of fun to write. Thanks for reading, even at the end of a long week! (And sorry it's taken me so long to say so...) M.

I wish I had time to leave a longer comment, but I absolutely adored this. Your Hermione was spot on! Loved it!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for reading! Maggie
