Well, I hate to say, but damn I'm glad Ron's out of the way! I enjoy reading Pregnant!Hermione (even when she's a 7th year) and I've enjoyed the few Charlie/Hermione fics that I've read (fanfic goddess Rilla wrote a lovely one). I'm dyslexic too, so I do understand about the spelling challenge--congrats for persevering and expressing yourself...so easy just to listen to people gripe and say, "Screw this" and stop. Good fic, thanks for writing. *waits very impatiently, but politely for updates* *control/refresh* *control/refresh* ;P

I'd be willing to beta for you, but I'm afraid that I have a bad habit of not checking my email every day, sometimes. I'm also a procrastinator. I'm also in Japan at the moment (13 hours ahead of U.S.A. EST), so that would add a couple of hours to my response time as well... I also can't edit while I'm at work. But I do like your story and think it deserves the following that I think it could have, if you had a beta. So... if you are willing to put up with all of that, then I'll do it for you. (And heck, since I'm being generous anyway ;) lol, I'll also re-edit the chapters you've posted--if you send them to me--and then you can do a re-post of everything, beta-ed.) ;) Anyway, it's an offer. :) Good luck with the next chapter.

Great Chapter. The story is really progressing. I'm trying to figure out who she will end up with.

I wasn't trying to be a witch with the spelling comment. You had said in one chapter that you had a beta. On the internet community you don't always know if you are speaking to a native english speaker. It wasn't so much that the words were spelled wrong but the words that were used were ananyms.

Anyway Great Story. I hope you will continue.

Well, whaddaya know... Charlie's gonna have his chance to "fix her broken smile"... although it's tragic what you had happen to her (and to Ron and Harry). This is rather well-written; you're doing better. You need spacers between your scene changes, however. Maybe ~~~~~~ or ~o~o~o~o~ or something.... Also, is someone beta-ing for you still? I know you have dyslexia, and so I am not going to comment on your grammatical errors and whatnot. But if you ARE using a beta, then that person needs to try harder before the story is submitted. They are letting even spells be spelled wrong (i.e. "Avada Kedavar", instead of "Kedavra. Ag. Again, I am not going to fault you, because I know you said you have dyslexia, and I still think that the writing has greatly improved since the first chapter. But I thought that, if you are using a beta, you should tell him/her to "shape up or ship out"... :) Keep up the good work.

This story continues to shock me. Definitely not expecting these turn of events. Poor Hermione...and Ron and Harry. Still, brilliant as always in my humble opinion.

You have a very interesting story. I can't wait to see who ends up with whom.

The only thing....spell check will catch obvious misspellings and typos but not the incorrect word usage. I read you have a beta maybe English isn't her first language. It distracts from your wonderful story.

This hits home for me on so many levels. ost ost my mother 7 months ago, and alot of the things that you describe are what I am going through... though there is so much more that I know cannot be described in words.
I just wish that I had someone here with me. Friends and family help, but...
I like the story alot and cannot wait to read the conclusion.
