Sirius, man, that letter was bother wonderful and very sad. I bet he thinks about it while in prison. I am gonna have to reread the last few chapters. Is Hermione still alive? Remus? Idk

Oh my gosh. This would have made me add this to my favorite list, if I haven't already decided on it.

You ARE fantastic! Please keep writing :))))))))) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WHOLE STORY! I read every word.

OMG it's brilliant!

I really like Ginny's character here :)

I love that she went to them for advice :)

Okay he is way too arrogant, we love it.

Great story!

I love that one sentence, that right there talking about fools with their hearts in the right place. :)

Well, I have to say this is the most realistic I've seen here.

Interesting fic :)

Yeah, I love it too :) Cute.

Sooo, the werewolf tasted Hermione's blood and wants to kill her, but Remus suddenly likes her and acts as if she was his possession, forbidding Sirius to go near her?

Really, the werewolf is now conscious and wants the girl's blood... Isn't Hermione becoming a bit too perfect, wanted, the powerful, yet innocent, ideal of a girl?

It is easier to make notes in the language of the course you are taking, instead of translating it quickly in your head first. Even if you are translating into your mother tongue. So even a French girl would most probably take notes in English, since she knows it.

She was a book learner, after all, so the idea of being innately talented in a given field was as much nonsense as Divination.

Hermione is a hard worker and an extremely talented person. There is a reason she gets spells the first in class. There is a reason she figures stuff out quickly.
Snape is not just talented but also a book learner. He learns about Potions, ingredients and their properties, and he experiments to achieve the best results possible. Talent or book learning alone are not enough to achieve the results Hermione or Snape do.

Dumbledore would know prretending to be someone she is not would not be feasible long-term for Hermione. Pretending to be less intelligent makes little sense. She is stranded in a time with no family, friends, money or a way to go back home. She is gonna need all the advantages she can get, e.g. great education and a good job. Moreover, if she pretends to lmow less than she does, over the course of years there will be many slip-ups leading to unnecessary questions. It is better to be known and accepted as just another swot (to some), and an intelligent girl (to other) and blend in that way. Instead, Hermione gets a grace charm? Why? She is gonna have to use magic in this time, and people are gonna be asking why she was pretending she didn't know certain spells, and so on. She could hide behind the swot label and loose herself in her studies - she would be acting naturally and thus becoming part of Hogwarts' students tapestry.

Before starting the year a new student would contact Dumbledore and receive a lost of necessary items, including a uniform.
