I just marathoned this fic, and I loved it all the way through. You WERE going to get a nice long juicy review, but I'm not sure I have it in me after that ending. Very well done - this story is exquisite. If I weren't crying so hard I'd be able to give you more, but as it stands, all I can say is "Bravo!"

All I was thinking of when i finished this, was: NO NONONO!!!!! You can't do that!!! I wanted to cry, but didnt want my hubby to think something was wrong.LOL. Can't wait till the sequel.

Hi!...I came across this story when looking at the Dramione Awards and saw that this story was nominated several times so I went ahead and read it all at once... Most of the other stories/authors nominated I recognized (Contrast, eilonwy1, Punkindoodle, etc...) so I thought it would be interesting to something I had never heard of...I have to say that I completely loved this story: the plot, the characterization of Draco and Hermione...most importantly I loved the writing. While there are some really fantastic fanfic writers out there I definitely come across those stories that are written so poorly that even while I might like the plot premise I can't continue to the story when the writing is that terrible...So, imagine my surprise when after reading Silencio and going to your other published works (hoping that you had started the sequel) that I saw that you, AkashaTheKitty, was also the arthur of The Bracelet! I couldn't believe it- the writing of Silencio is AMAZING and I had to finally stop reading the updates for Bracelet as the writing was unbearable....what happened?? If I didn't read it for myself I would never have thought your were the author of both stories...I would have thought someone was just messing with me! While I eagerly await the Silencio sequel I can honestly say that I hope Bracelet will be finished quickly so you can focus on the sequel!!!!

wow, a sad ending i actually liked! it was done so well, just....argh! i don't know what im trying to say........i loved your Draco, such a contradiction at times but thats what made him so appealing! will be reading the sequel :)

oh and i forgot to say but i absolutely LOVED this line from chapter 14:

Phenomenal fic. I absolutely loved it. I think you did a fairly decent job in keeping Hermione and Draco in character. This is the first Hermione/Draco fic I've read and actually enjoyed, simply for that reason. I've never been a fan of this pairing as most writers write them completely out of character, but you did wonderfully well. I did find the ending somewhat predictable, however. I figured Hermione would be obliviated, although I thought the potion was a nice stroke of originality. But in your defense, there was really no other way to do it. I tend to like things to be as canon as possible (although I do completely understand when authors decide to not follow canon). The grammatical errors were few and far between, and I don't think I caught any spelling errors- well done! And your writing really is excellent. It flows very well; your sentences have SUBSTANCE. It's so refreshing to read a fic that doesn't sound/look like it was written by a 12-year-old! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this one. I found myself rooting for Hermione and Draco, even though I knew it would never be. *tears* I IMMENSELY enjoyed the fact that Draco was not a wussy pushover. I think you caught his character perfectly. I do have quite a soft spot for him. :D

I really do hope you write a sequel. After DH, I'm not fussy about canon...as long as the characters remain in-character. I can handle the epilogue to DH being ignored every once in awhile. :D Wonderful, wonderful fic. Best wishes in all your writings!

Oops, sorry, wasn't logged in. Again, totally outstanding!

ok, first of all. I hate you.
No, I really don't. But you made me cry and I feel pathetic. I did not, at all, expect that ending.
It was so beautiful and sad and NOT THE WAY I WANTED IT TO END. For fuck's sake. They had to continue.. against all odds.

I am so sad now, so all my swearing will be excuses.. I hope. Seems like a good excuse. It's your fault.
Man, I was not planning on reviewing.. but after the last chapter I just had to. I think I might add this stories to my favourites. And I only have 3 out of the billion Draco/Hermione stories I've read. God, i'm sniffing the whole time.
Why did you do that? I feel whiney, I am .
Ok. chapter 14 was beautiful, it was beyond beautiful. I was reading.. and I got this odd feeling inside. It was a feeling of happiness and sadness and confusion and warmth mixed all together. It was so beautiful when he said he loved her, needed her. His confessions were beautiful. His deceit in chapter 15 however.. wasn't. Ok, it was beautiful. It reminded me of an "Angel" episode called "I will remember you". That made me cry too... but that was visual.. This was by reading.. and.. such beautiful words. Such a beautiful story. I liked it from the beginning until the end. I liked every part of it, actually.. I did not get annoyed with anything at all.. except that I had to look up some words.. but thank god for my built-in dictionary... or.. thank "Mac".

So, you're going to do a sequel? I like that.. it gives me hope..
Don't get me wrong.. I loved and hate (doesn't that remind you of their relationship. broken beautifully.. they are) your ending.. but that bit of hope does me good.. What is the sequel called? Could I get a link, please? I don't know how this website works.. just happened to read your story because you won that Dramione award.. only story i've read from that LJ site so far... Maybe it was the intro above.. that made me read it.. or the fact it's on an adultfanfiction site and maybe the.. 'yes i'm legally allowed to read this'-part kind of scared me though I am legally allowed to read it, haha(ranting).

It's really a beautiful and wonderful story. You did good work... great work.
You got me to feel so many emotions. And your words made me cry. I think I ... have to pay some attention to your other stories.
Hopefully you can reply by telling me the title of your sequel?

And really.. I don't hate you.
I'm very glad you wrote this story.. tomorrow i'm so making a friend read it. She'll love it, i'm sure. so.. Thank you!

Smile,

OMG that was so sad but I love how you actually made it so this really could have been a part of the book. It went along with the 6th book very well.
I have to say that you are one of my favorite authors on aff or ff, and I've read LOTS or stories.
Can't wait to start reading more from you. I really hope to see the sequel really soon, I'll keep checking for it.
Please don't make me wait to long.
