Despite what some of your reviewers are saying, I am impressed with how you have had Hermione deal with this situation. I think it is in character for her and I hope that you write more soon. Don\'t let the negative people get to you, I think you are doing a good job of writing about a difficult situation. Not everyone will like it but if they are reading stories on a site that deals with adult themes they can\'t expect to like everything.

Just wanted to tell you that I love the story, I think you write quite well. As for all those who can\'t stand for a story to say something they don\'t agree with, they need to grow up and realize that if it bugs them that much, just stop reading. Keep it up.

I like the story the way it is so far, I don\'t have an issue with abortions like I guess some others do. I have always taken the approach of \'you can\'t judge a person until you walked a mile in their shoes\'. I have not been in a situation where I had to decide something this serious. I am glad you are walking us through Hermione\'s steps in herisioision, rather than having her make too fast.

Thanks for writing. I have enjoyed reading your story so far.

I believe I do owe you an apology. My statement came out very harsh. It was not my intention to flame. After reading your comments and thinking about things I understand what you were trying to show. Those pictures would be exactly what Hermione would be faced with in pro-life pampletes. I just misunderstood your rational for the websites. Once again, I do enjoy your story, and am sorry for how harsh my statements were.

Hi I just wanted to add my two cents worth. I read a lot of these stories, I do not usually review (I have had 1 person make fun of the way I word my rewiews, I don\'t like subjecting myself to that) Any way I just wanted to say you are doing a very good job of writing this story you did not insult my intellegence in the least. I also wanted to tell all those people, that unless you yourself have been in that kind of position and you know for sure that you would of walked in and aborted a baby without even thinking about it =in the slightest than how can you complain about what is being written. I think you are handling this well. I hope you do not stop wrtiting this it is very good.

(((Kiristeen))), I feel that you wrote the chapter well enough that it didn\'t lead in the direction of controversy. I\'m so sad to see that you are being flamed over this story!!! Remember Anon, she warned that she was writing about such things & not expressing views, read all, not just the bits that you disagree with!!!

For me personally and only because of how I view Hermione\'s charachter, I do so wish that you have her keep the child. I feel that large parts of her strong persona are her resolve, courage & knowledge beyond her years. Even with the situation that cd thd the pregnancy, I think it goes against her conscience to end the life of yet another innocent. She has always been strong & even through something like this she would become stronger. I do feel that she would make a rational choice to keep the child & care for it, maybe not loving it right away, but keep it because she knows that this human being will be an individual, not its father. She can come to the conclusion that this child could be the begining of total change & transformation of the Malfoy line. I do believe that the birth is something that changes a person, seeing that brand new life has a powerful effect, regardless of anything else because it is a new begining. In the books, she is the one that feels for the house elves & the way they are treated... she fights to change that, to protect those she feels are being wronged. I know this isn\'t exactly the best comparison, but in all honesty it just shows that she wants what\'s best for others, would that not also come into play where an innocent child is concerned? I think she would feel more guilt in knowing that she ended the life of a child who was at no fault for what happened to her.

My only other thought may be that sheow Dow Draco to become guardian of his sibling. He seems to be changing enough to instill good in the child.

Anyway I rambled enough & am hoping that it all makes some sort of sense. I do hope that you will continue this story soon as I am very taken by it!!! This is a tough subject & I for one think you have handled it with thought & respect.

I have been following your story closely, and I must say that it is one of my favorites. First, let me apologize for not reviewing for so long. I truly love what you have done with all of the characters. They are believable in your characterizations of them here. Second, people who only take the time to flame are not worth your time. This is not a forum for personal opinion, this is fanfiction. You are the fan, you are writing the fiction. As the reader, if I didn\'t like what you e, Ie, I would stop reading it. I think you show an accurate portrayal of how the current state of choices only helps to solidify the loneliness and isolation a young woman feels in such a situation. To be faced by the extreme anger of the protestors and then the antisceptic reality of a cold and unfeeling medical office is a horror no one ready to make such a choice should have to bear.

Funnel your anger our our stupid flames into your writing, not that it needs any help, you\'re brilliant without anything added.

Oh, and just for the recorolitolitically, I sit right in the middle. Offended by both extremes (those who fight for rightchoichoice or right of life when they have never been in that situation themself). And kudos to your Hermione for telling the protestors where to fuck off! Whew, I feel better now. Hope this helps!

Well, let me say this. I\'m not gonna flame you. So far I have really liked this story and I understand where you need to to the \'abortion thing\' to keep the story real and moving. No id did not see the pics but that was my choice. I\'m glad you did put the sites there for people to look at if THEY wanted to. You didn\'t force them to look at them so ignore them if they don\'t like what they see. A little advfromfrom one writer to another. You can\'t please all the people all the time and most times you can please them all so don\'t worry about it. Don\'t rewrite ANYTHING. If you are happy with the way it is written, that is the only thing that matters. it is your story and you should write it the way you want. And I will keep reading it and enjoying it til the very end. PROMISE!

The easiest way to force a review from me is to say that people are being cruel and mean to an aurthor of a wonderful story. Yes, it almost takes force for me to try and write a review, my spelling is atrocious ( thank God for dictionary.com) and my grasp the English gramer is worst than my spelling (english is my first language) and I have a very hard time expressing myself coherently . So read at your own peril. I digress. I love the slash elements and the tenderness that is growing between Ron and Draco. I am alitlle concern about Harry, not how he will take the news of Ron and Draco, but how he is withdrawing from his friends. On Hermoine problem, as cruel as it sounds I am hoping for a miscarriage. Not that I am personally against an abortion, however the wizarding needs new blood so to speak, so that would be a terrible loss. (I understand that point that you have made about her not like the child, I mean in a loss in a genetic sense). On the other hand, orphans seem to have bad look in the HP world. Whatever the outcome may be, I will continue to read your story.

Hey, I knew that you were going to get alot of grief for your last chapter. I don\'t care which way your opinions lie concerning abortion... I am just impressed that you chose to be true to your character (Hermione) and your story.
Enough of that... I would make a request for more Severus/Hermione interaction. I don\'t have a clear picture of how he feels about her. (Maybe I missed something.) Is he just impressed with her strength or what??
I look forward to your next chapters. Please keep writing.
