This was wonderfully written. I love the characterisation of Hermione and Draco. Draco's turn towards the light and Hermione is also very smooth. Really enjoy the magical theory and how she's fighting the pureblood supremacy propaganda. Also very realistic how Hermione lashes out at Blaise.

This was such a wonderful story, I adored the unique premise and how you built the characters and the changes to canon. It's such a shame this has died an untimely death.

Will this fic ever be updated

I wonder if you still get notifications for this fic. But ultimately it doesn't matter; I want to say these words regardless. I hope they find you well, if they do.

I understand it has been approaching eight years since you last updated this story, and I imagine it's been close to matching that time since you last worked on it. Perhaps even thought about it. Maybe you aren't anywhere near the same person you were when you wrote this. And with the recent hills the source material's author has deemed appropriate to die on as well as the many excruciatingly critical dissertations of the series published following, I imagine you might have been one member of the mass exodus to leave the series behind entirely – and please understand, if this is the case, you would be right to. I myself have done the same, barring increasingly endangered trips down memory lane like the one that led me to this story tonight. But I hope you know that what you were creating here is extremely worthwhile, even when the narrative is, at present, unresolved.

I won't call this story incomplete, because I think if you choose to never update it again, it would be completed in that there is nothing left for you to tell. But even in its state of being unresolved, what you've written here is one of my favorite stories I have read in a long time, at least in the scale of this particular fandom. Every moment has felt earned and every payoff so far is gratifying. Your handle of every character's voice is superb – of course, particularly with Hermione and Draco. The ups-and-downs of their connection, the exploration of Hermione's own gaps in maturity, the ways in which her narration is as unreliable as it is insightful, all of this hooked me from their first interaction. The slow shifts in the canon quickly snowballing into firmer AU territory are so fun to read; the way you write invites the reader to piece together the conclusions themselves. It's a wonderful game. Really, that is my highest compliment: this story is just so fun, so engaging that I ended up reading the entire thing in a single evening despite not planning to. I was half-wondering if I had somehow found my soulmate when Wuthering Heights became a brief focal point of discussion; seeing my favorite book be included so well and so earnestly only solidified my joy.

I imagine this story is likely over, even if not the traditional way of a completed narrative. But please know that I mourn it ending the same as I mourn any other ending to something I've adored. And this means that I will be thinking about it fondly for as long as I can, and I will be reluctant to forget. I'll likely imagine my own continuations of your ideas, inspired by your creativity and your skill. And I will probably swing by again. Maybe in a week, a month, a year or two, wondering if perhaps there might be even more to love. So long as this site exists and so long as you are here to write it, there is always a chance. And there is always a chance I will be one of the lucky people to be able to see it.

I understand that all of this might be a little bit silly to say about a fanfic likely considered dead and abandoned by most, maybe even including yourself. But consider that the nearly 140k words that have been published were inspired by a children's book series that completely falls apart under virtually any scrutiny. Consider still the cultural zeitgeist this series created in spite of its many flaws and, ultimately, lack of anything that isn't shallow to say. Consider the countless people who have gone as far as, for example, tattooing its lines and symbols to their bodies. Because even if it is coming from a source so deeply flawed and shallow, the joy it brought to the fans impacted the most by it is rich and deep and truly unknowable by anyone but the fan themself. With this in mind, I think it is beautiful that your story has brought me a bit of happiness.

All manners of experience mean the world to all manners of people. So, thank you for this story. It means the world to me.

You have probably abandoned this fic by now but i just want you to hear again that this fic is so beautiful and well written. I'm so heartbroken right now with how it ended and I am not expecting or anything but i still hope you'll have the motivation again to continue this amazing fic before i die *laughs*

I absolutely LOVED this story! All the characters are fantastic and the plot is great. Please tell me you’ll come back to it one day?
