I actually quite like it and a bit bummed it ended.
Honestly, I’ve got nothing against Hugo and Lily being together. Maybe it’s the way I grew up and it was seen as an okay thing so long as they don’t share the same surname. Since two person with the same surnames being together is seen as a taboo in my culture (kinda like a brother and sister) but it doesn’t mean that it does or doesn’t happen.
I suppose first cousins with different surnames are okay due to being from different clans due to their fathers’ surnames. I’m thinking that’s the reason why anyway.

What your pattern is, chem poof, is that you constantly blame Harry. In most of your stories, you blame Harry for not recognizing Hermione. You are a biased towards Hermione because of your feminist bias against men.

Heres something to suck on. Hermione was a go-getter regarding SPEW. She was a go-getter for getting top marks. So why the fuck does she simply wait to see if someone catches "hints" about her attraction? Why doesn't she approach Harry? Ask HIM out?

You say Harry doesn't know anything about affection. So wouldn't Hermione teach him that? Hermione criticizes stupid archaic traditions. Yet, she blissfully follows the sexist tradition that men should make the first move. So that means women don't have the gumption, the drive to make the first move. It's up to the men to take the lead?

Thats your problem, chem bitch. Your a sexist cunt. You glorify female academia and drive, yet somehow still regulate them the self-inflicted confines of their own delusions and habits. Habits born out of their OWN insecurities. When confronted with that, you immediately blame the different gender.

You are hypocritical, and of the same shit as sexist men. Fuck you.

I really liked this. Having the time jump come about as the payoff from a thoughtful conversation with a couple of their kids about regrets and chances not taken in their youth, and not as some accident of magic or desperate act to avert a disaster (either personal involving certain Weasleys or war related where Voldemort wins in the original timeline), is something that I don't think I've seen before.

I also liked how you had this happen late in the lives of Harry and Hermione, making the story a reflective one between mature, middle aged adults and their senior parents that kept it from becoming what so many stories involving a canon compliant Harry/Hermione romance and their Hogwarts aged or younger kids become, with the canon relationships ending explosively and the kids having to choose sides. Tying magical power to lifespans, making Ron and Ginny's deaths natural and making the kids aware of the not quite compatible nature of their parents' relationships as they grew up made it easier for them to accept the eventual relationship between Harry and Hermione.

That so little of the story was actually set in the past was also something I've never seen and was also all that was really necessary to make sure we knew that the alternate timeline had been set in motion. I'm glad that the parameters for how this form of time travel would work were set before they went back too.

I love the song and your words fit perfectly!
cshen.julienne chapter 1 . 2/9/2019
Cute :)
EdTheBeast chapter 1 . 1/6/2019
Very nice. Love your back to the past. It is more than correct, in the temporal/spatial aspect.
Village-Mystic chapter 1 . 11/6/2018
Well, you did kind of support that they would exist in this world as twins, and eventually quite possibly have twin-cest. Meanwhile, it is still plausible, given the circumstances when looking outside the wizarding world doesn't happen much.
Regarding Harry and Hermione - lovely.

Since you're gone, you won't notice this, BUT -

All those generations of wizards and witches you can't fathom being going? Did you forget 10 years before Voldemort held a reign of terror so insane that people were terrified to say his name? Did you forget not long before that Grindlewald led wizard Nazis through World War 2?

Or are you just an idiot?
tyrannicpuppy chapter 1 . 8/4/2018
Such a sweet story. And it ends the way it always should have. Love it so much.
HarryPotterFangirl85 chapter 1 . 6/15/2018
That was nice.
viningc chapter 1 . 3/19/2018
I really like this story and think it would make an excellent departure point for a greatly expanded story. I hate the idea that Ginny and Ron end up marrying Harry and Hermione when HP and HG should be married. Even JKR eventually admitted it!

If you write it, I will read it. I would even be amenable to helping proof chapters for you, not that you seem to need that much help. I only found two mistakes in this chapter! (No, I don't remember what they were, so no fair asking. I only remember there were two, fairly obvious mistakes.)

Great job!
Guest chapter 1 . 12/22/2017
Great Story and I think you handled it well. There are a number of cul;tures where first cousins marry. It doesn't have too much genetic impact the first time, from what I understand, only if repeated several times.
