Interesting story, and I've never read anything else with this sort of distant point of view. It's as if it's being told by a stranger hundreds of years later, having been passed from bard to bard. Peaceful, without any dramatic tension, all in past tense.

Lol...tea is always the answer to any social awkwardness.

And are you sure addicted to technology that you just HAD to bring the tv. Just...no. Why do people do that. She lived just fine without a Telly the whole time she was away at school. What’s next? iPods?

Does not make any sense why she’s at the school after Dumbledore dies...it makes no sense since she’s a MUGGLEBORN!

lovely story

Hermione seriously needs a gap year.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing!

I'm a sucker for a HEA HG/SS story... this was different and everyone was extremely out of character (OOC) but I still enjoyed it and read its entirety.

Awww, it's sweet how Snape is subtly separating Hermione from her friends to make it easier to train/groom her to be the submissive little wifey. McGonagall doesn't mind tossing the virgin into the volcano, does she. I'm surprised she didn't just thank Hermione for allowing her and the Order to whore her out. And how "romantic" was that forced wedding - she got told on the day of that she was being forced to marry some guy that some prophesy demanded that she wed and therefore fuck and it doesn't matter if she wanted to or not according to Snape and McGonagall's actions. They probably would have Imperioused her otherwise, and all because some hyped-up moron decided to create a prophesy. I'm surprised to find that they're all that gullible.

And what's up with that "may I tell Ginny" bullshit? Is she already a Stepford wife or something? I've noticed that they're all doing a great job of separating her from her friends. Where the hell is Hermione's backbone? She's being such a good little moron/sacrifice... I can't read any more of this tripe.

If it would be "cruel" to segregate her, why not tell her why she's being cruelly imprisoned? Obviously no one cares enough to bother telling her why she's being help prisoner. Why didn't Hermione ask her "caring" professors and "caring" heads why she's being imprisoned anyway?

McGonagall can look "apologetic" all she wants but that doesn't help Hermione. And I still don't get why she can't go to the Burrow even for Christmas. Keeping her jailed at the school is not going to make her want to sacrifice her future just to keep the school going. And I think it's super-strange that her parents never seem to mind her not coming home or even visiting. Were they made to forget that they ever had a daughter? I love how they're all so busy worshipping the prophesy that they don't bother giving a shit less about whether or not HERMIONE is happy or miserable.

Maybe Harry and Ron can help Hermione escape the prophesy? That way if she and Snape do decide to fall in love and marry and save the universe and whatever, it won't be because some prophesy has decided to whore Hermione out into an Order-enforced rapey marriage. She's being told who she'll have sex with whether she wants them or not, and that's pretty damn rapish.

If I were Hermione, I think I would manage to go to the Burrow at least no matter why they're holding her hostage at the school - and it's not like they've bothered to tell her why. Something is definitely going on and she would be wise to either escape, or find out what it is...then still escape. Forced incarceration, no matter how pretty the jail, is still forced incarceration. And if Snape is "so sorry" that she "must" stay, then why doesn't he bother telling her why she's being held hostage? It most certainly is her place as he's one of her jailers.

It's a nice story. But something ismissing. It's was bit anticlimactic.

Where was The prophesy mentioned? I couldn't find it.

U r a good writer. This story just needed a little background knowledge about a why the things were happening.

Other than this it was a good read.

:-)

that was probably the most unexpected piece of fiction I've ever read. Down to the last plot twist. The prophecy. the marriage. the cat. the baby. the re-enchantment of the castle. I don't know how I feel. These topics that don't look like they could ever come together to exist in the same place somehow have in this story. You seem like the best fucking person to have on a camping trip.

I love this story! Thank you!
