This chapter was definitely needed. I like how you began to bring them closer; however, HARRY? I can't wait to see what happens next and why he's there!

"She was nurturing them." - I love the double meaning here. I wonder if Hermione would have seen it. Was the Mother nurturing them, or was Hermione? Or to add another layer, could Tedora have been nurturing them from afar? Oh, the wonder of one little four word sentence can bring... love it!!

Ok this time, this review will be a reasonably short one. VERY interesting having Isobel and Hermione bond given their respective backgrounds, that was a very good call. The daughter of a Death Eater finding a sort of kindred spirit in the Muggleborn who helped topple her father's masters regime. The soda part made me crack up a bit because it just goes to show you how out of touch wizards are with even the most basic Muggle things. But this line:

I must say, you have me not only intrigued, but hooked. You're dealing with the aftermath of a war with far more realism and empathy than I have ever seen before. If I didn't know better (and who says I do), I would say that you have first hand experience. This is now on my 'check obsessively for updates' list. Let me know if you need to bounce ideas off of me, or if you need a beta. This is truly remarkable.

I should comment on the whole chapter but I can't think straight.

OMG!!! HARRY!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!

Yes, that's what we call a cliffhanger!
I wanted to have him back SO MUCH! Maybe him more than Ron even.

Okay, let's rewind: I liked their girls' night. As for the Hermione/Isobel friendship

What I do is go to schools and discuss relationships and authority and bullying. We encourage students to talk to us about what happens around them so we can assure them that these things happen all the time and are totally normal. A lot of times, in our youth, we think that the things we are experiencing make us weird or different when really, everyone is going through the same thing. I'd like to talk to the counselors we work with to see if they have some sort of support group or if they'd be interested in implementing one.

What's this? Civility between Draco and Hermione?! Can it be!? I can't wait to read more!

You're back! Last time I checked, I couldn't access the story. I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to read this again.

About this chapter: "phew, Hermione is coming back! Yeah!" lol
I like what we learn about the Dividing Lines and I'm asking myself the same question as Hermione: why was it banned? This actually makes me think of a fantasy novel I read about ancient kind of magic using sex and blood, just like what is described here (don't remember the title of that book though). Anyway, I don't feel too confused about this plot thanks to that and, in the end, it makes sense. Magic can't have always been about wands and such.

I'm dreading one thing: being curious is sane BUT has its limits. I'm afraid Hermione doesn't know them. I really don't want her to try the spells and potions here. Call me prude but I'd be a little disappointed if her first sexual encounter with Draco was only to gain power - it can be more acceptable if it was to help someone though. For me, it would just be too easy to say that whatever the 2 of them feel when they have sex, it was because of a spell or something. Just too easy and I don't want to imagine Hermione as a power-greedy bitch. She can be a bitch if she wants - well, she was more than once close to it in the past chapters lol - but I don't know if I'll like seeing this side of her personality.
I'm writing that but I already know that whatever you have in store for us, I'll still follow you since I can't help being drawn to the way you write and the way you portray our favourite characters.

To finish, I just have a 'little' question: will we have news about Harry and Ron too? I love the Golden Trio as a whole. True, Hermione has now a new circle but aren't Harry and Ron the ones who used to be the closest to her, her very first tovarasi in a lot of ways? I just hope Harry and Ron won't be forgotten in the process of her getting better, learning to know the members of her actual tovarasi and getting closer to Draco. In most of Dramione fanfictions that I read, Harry and Ron are alienated in order for Hermione to get close to Draco. I don't hate it but being an addict to the original series, it's sometimes hard for me to read a story dealing with the Golden Trio being estranged.
I have to precise: this is my own personal opinion, don't change what you planned because of me. As I said, I'll follow your lead even if I don't entirely like what you write. I'm already too immersed in the story to stop reading just because one or two things don't go as I wish they would.
