Beautiful. But was it too easy? I don't know, I still think Ron's being lazy (giving up) and Hermione's getting him out of his hole. But that just shows you've got them in character - well done! If I was Hermione, I'd want a bit more evidence that I'm worth the effort.
I adore her fixation on his bare chest, by they way! A sample of your lovely mixture of humour and drama. |

| Thank you. This scene needed a little comic relief. |

I knew it wouldn't go as easy with them as it went with Harry and Ginny (if we assume it was easy). After all, mighty Jo has already shown us a bit of their tempers and I'd read "Per Asperissima Ad Astra", so I know quite well what you are capable of.
I'm even a little surprised that there was no heated argument, or at least some minor hexing, but it surprises me in a good way. If they were able to talk about about their feelings a few years back, it would definitely save them some trouble, but it would probably also took your chance to write this. So I'm realy glad they matured just in time for your fic.
If I wanted too choose the scene which shook me the most, it would be the one with Hermione kissing Ron's scars. It was so tender and left them so vulnerable, that I had to stop and collect my thoughts before I was able to read again.
I had few days to digest it before I could come back and review, but I still don't know if it's Hermione so bold or my mind so dirty when I think of things that can't be done "in full view of the house". |

| Having written that, my mind must be the dirtiest. But I think they both have been missing out in a way, and it's likely to break free now. |

No fear, the interaction between Ron and Hermione was anything but predictable...
It happens, though, that I read a story thinking it would be so much better if I didn't know how it'll end... But then, I shouldn't read stories on a site that lists (its and my) favourite pairings. |

Ah... Satisfying is the best word for this chapter, I think.
I'm looking forward the next chapter; hope you'll give us another glimpse of Harry and Ginny? |

And what's the icing on the cake? It's still a WIP so that means there is more to come!!

| Yeah, but not much. The main points have been made. Cheers for r/r. |

She recognised the phrase at once. He had asked her that earlier that night, before she had brushed him off. She was fascinated. Was he giving her the chance to start all over? If Ron continued to show this kind of subtlety, a relationship with him would be much more interesting than her wildest dreams had allowed her to hope … and he still was not wearing a shirt.
Loved this line -- it captured a good deal of the chapter for me. It showed intelligence and juxtaposed it with her emotions and physical feelings.
You had just the right dose of humor to cut against the heartache (that we could all do that this easily....)
I also like the way you touched on H's insecurities -- in fact, I wanted to spend more time there -- but I loved the way you wove the stupid comment throughout the scene -- so in the end I think it worked just fine.
Bravo!

I'm relieved to see that after all my ramblings over your "Coven" you're still friendly enough to praise my story. Thank you very much.
I agree that Hermione's insecurities are often underestimated (not the least by Ron), but I didn't want to overdo it, especially after ch. 4 revealed how little she had understood about Ron's development. |

| Wow that much dialogue made it a challenging chapter to write. Very, very well done, however. |

| Very good. It just goes to show that Ron does have more sesitivity than a teaspoon. Thank goodness they finally got things started. I look forward to the next chapter. Thank you for writing. p |

Ahh, they made it. I love the subtlety and the frank honesty and their moods and... everything. Quite a marvelous analysis. This and last chapter together clearly show how different the same events can be experienced. I love the saying 'you never know the whole story' and this is a great demonstration of that fact. Two persons never have the same pegs to hang their experiences on, and I find myself wishing I had a need to demonstrate that fact, as these last two chapters would've been a magnificent way to do that. But I don't.
You've done a wonderful dive into the human mind, and I find I'm getting addicted to this stuff. Will there be more? There must be loads of other characters you can give this treatment to.
Thanks a bunch for sharing, in case you hadn't noticed, I love it§
Cheers!

"Audiatur et altera pars." (Let the other side be heard as well.) - That's one of the basic ideas of Roman law. I always had the impression that we don't hear enough from Ron in the books. - However, I'm a little too fixated on the four main characters to repeat this kind of stunt for others.
I'm glad you like it, though. |
