Alytiger chapter 19 . 12/12/2016 Oh no. |
Screaming Faeries chapter 18 . 11/27/2016 This was a nice little look-in at what could have been a Dramione life. I can totally buy Harry giving Hermione his blessing, however it makes sense that she would want to make sure Ron was far away! This was a good read, and you used the dialogue prompt really well! Great job! |
sylith senjak chapter 16 . 11/20/2016 Too short but too good :) so I read it again from the begining |
sunrise36 chapter 8 . 4/1/2016 This is nice little drabble. I could see Hermione really dreading seeing Draco after the war. I like your backstory for what happened to Draco afterwards. It seems about like what would happen, given his family background and also his lack of having really done any of the worst crimes. |
sunrise36 chapter 10 . 4/1/2016 Ha ha ha. Yeah, Draco would find it hard to get over his habit of calling her 'Granger'. |
Lamia of the Dark chapter 6 . 3/9/2016 Yes, getting rid of everything someone ever gave you can help in getting over a breakup because that means there are less things around that will trigger memories of them, bad or good... but if she really likes that particular cup (and it sounds like a pretty neat one with those embellishments and charms) then there's nothing wrong with keeping it, either. [had given her for years ago] - "for" should be "four" if you mean the number here. |
Lamia of the Dark chapter 5 . 3/3/2016 Enjoying her job seems consistent with Hermione's canon personality, as well as Ron not liking to do his job just because it's work. It's good that she's finally starting to let go of her anger and try to find reasons to move on. I didn't spot any typos or grammar issues. |
DolbyDigital chapter 1 . 2/29/2016 I think this is a really great start to this collection; you’ve created an interesting premise, and I’d love to see more. I felt that you captured a lot of emotion here, and it was really well written. The only correction I could suggest is that I think the line beginning [she cried, because she’s sad] might need rephrasing; it switches tenses a little (she cried because she is), and I think it might read a little better if you showed that she was angry and sad rather than wrote it, if that makes sense. I loved that she only left Ron when there was absolutely no way she could forgive him; it sounds like she’s given him a lot of chances, and I liked that she didn’t give up straight away, even though that probably wound up hurting her more. I’d love to see what it was that he did that finally caused her to leave. |
Lamia of the Dark chapter 4 . 2/25/2016 I don't think Ginny and Hermione were really that close of friends in canon that Hermione would be worried about losing their friendship when she broke up with Ron. It's good that she has someone around to help her out anyway. Hermione casually swearing seems really out of character. I didn't spot any typos or grammar issues. |
Lamia of the Dark chapter 3 . 2/25/2016 You did a good job of showing Hermione's depression through her thoughts and actions without stating her feelings outright. She spent a week inside breaking things in a rage? When she wanted sunshine, she got rain... *"I'm a Believer" starts playing quietly in the background* [out of the flat nearly a week] - needs a comma between "flat" and "nearly". Otehr than that, I didn't spot any typos or grammar issues. |
Hawkflight7 chapter 4 . 2/24/2016 Oh yay! There's a friend for Hermione in her time of need. It sucks that her friend happens to remind her of her ex (being related and all), but I like how Ginny is there for her. Now Hermione can just listen to the ranting and heal. Though, got a little sad at the end there when Hermione doesn't seem to believe that anyone else would be mad at Ron for what he did. |
Hawkflight7 chapter 3 . 2/23/2016 Oh, so it's only been a week. I thought she stayed cooped up in her house longer for some reason. Darn, she finally fixed up her house and went outside looking for rays of sunshine to find rain. Well, she could try dancing in the rain. That might lift her spirits as much as good 'ole sunshine would have. Spag: [mind of the] off* |
Hawkflight7 chapter 2 . 2/20/2016 Hermione sure is upset here, but she can't exactly repair her relationship after what happened. It would help if she got out. I'm surprised her friends haven't showed up yet. I like the description at the beginning of the birds, and the effect their singing has on Hermione. It's a really nice touch and lightens the chapter a bit from the more serious atmosphere. |
sunrise36 chapter 15 . 2/19/2016 I'm starting to get into the Dramione ship so I was interested in reading from this collection. I really like this piece about Draco's laughter. It shows how closely Hermione pays attention to Draco and how she recognizes and appreciates a side to him that rarely shows through. What I really enjoyed about this drabble was that is was really focused on a single attribute of Draco, his laughter, which you described so well I feel like I could imagine it perfectly. I especially like the idea that he's not telling the other person what he finds funny because it would be so much better if she could pick up on it on her own. That seems very Draco- subtle, intelligent, and warm in an understated way. |
Lamia of the Dark chapter 2 . 2/19/2016 The first sentence probably wasn't meant to be funny but it really made me laugh. Wow, she's really an emotional mess right now. So full of rage that's she's cursing the sunlight and breaking things, but she's still so hung up on him that she keeps her engagement ring on! I didn't spot any typos or grammar issues. |
