Move this so much! and love that Ron and Neville know now and are okay with Harry and Hermione being together, and that Ron isn't written OOC as being a villain or a jerk or useless like so many H/Hr tend to do! So refreshing to see him written as normal in this fic cuz I really love your story! and Harry/Hermione are so cute together in this fic so far! You're the first writer that made me like this pairing! I hope in your story, they can get Malfoy and his family hidden and safe soon too! I like that in your story, Harry knows the truth about Snape or at least that Dumbledore's death was planned! I think it'll end up making all the difference! I like that Neville is part of Harry's trio in this story too! I just realized if Neville goes with Harry and if Hermione stays behind at Hogwarts, I wonder if she'll be fulfilling the role that Neville did in the 7th book by restarting Dumbledore's army (in her own way) and killing the snake, or if at some point she'd have to go on the run and skip Hogwarts like Dean did in the books cuz the rumors of her being a half-blood just weren't enough to protect her. I love that both Ron and Theo are looking past House prejudices in your story! Honestly, usually in most AU fics where Hermione has thought out stuff that other characters in canon never figured out in that situation, like how to communicate with Harry while he's gone when Ginny never planned for that in the books, or being let in on the knowledge of Snape's loyalties and Draco's reluctance towards being a Death Eater, or being one of the most powerful students in Slytherin as a muggle-born (even if her heritage is forged as a half-blood to some) or in those fics when Hermione is favored and close with pretty much all the characters on both sides (like how Snape and Remus have her as a favorite student and personally tutor her and how Malfoy goes out of his way to protect her and so does Harry as well as getting along with Ron, Neville, Theo, and much of the other Slytherins, etc, usually all these things in one fic would make me think that Hermione is written as a Mary Sue and would make me want to stop reading the story, but that surprisingly isn't the case for me here since the way you've written it all so far, it seems very natural and believable! So I'm pleasantly surprised that I don't really mind it so far that Hermione might seem more "perfect" here than she is in the books just because of the way you've written it! I surprisingly still like Hermione's character a lot here, which isn't common for me in the lots of fics that have Hermione as a main character just because they have that tendency to start to make her into a Mary Sue, so I love that you've managed to write her so well so far! Glad that at least she wasn't super close to Dumbledore as well in your story, cuz that might have started to cross over into Mary Sue territory depending on how it's written! Excited to read the later chapters!

omg I love this story so far! I never would've thought I'd read a Harry/Hermione fic where I actually like the pairing, but this fic makes it so believable! I like how Hermione is very close to how she is in canon, except just as a Slytherin. you've written all the characters so well! and with no character-bashing so far, which I hope will continue to be true throughout the rest of this fic, since it's so refreshing to not have to read the Weasleys being twisted into jerks or idiots lol. I can't wait to read the rest of your story; it's so good!

Most Slytherin!Hermione fics make her dark or at least grey, and are naturally at least a bit ooc as a result. This is the first time I feel like it's really canon-Hermione in Slytherin, still herself, making the same choices, just now in a different (frankly smarter and subtler) way. It's brilliant. And that's not even getting to the rest of the cast, whom you've fleshed out without losing their core traits (where we known them, or adding neatly to them if canon left them largely unexplored). I look forward greatly to the rest of this, whenever you are able to next post. Also, if you're not on AO3, I hope you are soon, since ffdnet can be so fickle and unreliable. Also, AO3 has an ever-growing audience, what with their superior tagging / filtering system, and I feel it's a shame if anyone looking for Hermione Granger-centric and Slytherin!Hermione Granger fics don't get a chance to find and read this. It's simply fantastic!

Well, sir/ma’am, I have to give it to you. This story was suggested by a dear friend of mine and I was not disappointed at all. This story has become on of my favorite fan fictions of all time. I know that doesn’t mean much to you, but I’ve been reading them since 2013. So I hope that says something. I absolutely cannot wait for the end of the story. Please keep up the wonderful work.

This is the kind of fan fiction I like; you've taken one "what if", Hermione being sorted into Slytherin, and treated it logically instead of in a "destiny will bring them together" way.

Absolutely hooked, I had to refrain myself from binge reading it! I completely adore the way you characterized everyone, best of all the sassy relationship between Harry and Hermione! I’m quite crushed about Remus and Severus but I should’ve known. To sum it up, your story is amazing and I loved to see everyone grow up in this AU! Much love

Oh man finally caught up and I loved the story so far. The way you were to actually humanize the slytherins is something I didnt expect tbh. They were always portrayed as bullies and assholes but you gave them depth and made them interesting. Theye are actually worthy of being called cunning unlike the books or movies. And you even managed to make me not despise malfoy. I think that never happened before. It was a fantastic read so far and I csnt wait for the next chapter :)

This is so beautifully done. You say that you don’t like writing action, but you did it incredibly well, while still having the characters themselves at the heart of things. I hate that we still lost Remus but love that Tonks could be saved. Love that Draco was still at the Room of Requirement but helping this time. My fingers are crossed that Snape found a way, though I know that’s a long shot. Harry’s and Hermione’s time together was amazing - just lovely.
Many thanks for this chapter!
