*applauds* This was great!

I loved that they didn't break up with Ron or Ginny in bad ways. And I loved that Hermione was drinking Orangina. I love that drink! I used to buy it all the time when I worked at Superstore because they sold it by the single bottle :D

Ron and this kind of neatness couldn't exist in the same postal code.

That line was brilliant.

Kudos!

Your writing never fails to amaze me and this is no exception. I love every word of this fic.

When Hermione broke up with Ron for the last time, he didn't say anything that made her angry, or anything dumb.

What he said was: Are you certain I'm the one you want to be doing this with?

That bit is one of my favorites. I really could quote the whole fic though. :D

Smashing job!

That's really beautiful, in your typical quiet and unforced way. I got such a sense of them all being friends, despite whatever romantic stuff might or might not be happening on top of that.

I love the way you dealt with the fact that some relationships just don't work out, for whatever reason, and it doesn't always have to be huge and dramatic. I love how you showed Harry's tendency to just shut down on certain topics. I love the sense of something dark in the past, and the way everyone's getting on with their lives in its wake, a little sadder but unbroken.

And on a sillier note, I love that Harry doesn't wear shoes in his apartment, and his utterly bizarre coping habits. Those details are so ideosyncratic, and so him. :-)

Most days, I don't miss H/Hr fic too much. And then I'll read something like this and I'm reminded why I liked it in the first place. Very Elegant. :D

love, lore
