Welcome back. I hope your family in the Philippines is safe. I loved all the action parts that you write but I am happy that Hermione is now awake because you write harry and hermione together beautifully. I am looking forward to the next chapters.

Another amazing chapter I must say. Gates sort of reminded me of the Hag in what he was saying to Ginny. It wasn't what she wanted to hear but it was pretty close to truth. I think that Gates is both right and wrong. I do believe that they love each other, however, she doesn't love him like she should and he doesn't love her as much as another. It has to be awful feeling to think that your husband is thinking of another when with you. Ginny was right more at the end when she said that Harry cared. This isn't so muh as what Ginny deserves as much as what Ginny has caused and brought on herself.
Malvado is immortal right now. I take that to mean that The Master of Death will have to be the one to finish him off. I could be off. Since that person can change I wonder who it will be when the time has arrived.
I feel for Ron and for Ann. They are both stuck and can't figure out how to get out of it. I think shell cottage is a good option for Ann and the kids. I can only hope that there is something special about Ron's watch that will allow him to escape.
I figured there was somehing up with Harry's kids but I wasn't sure as to what. I knew they had to be in danger and with that he knew the pitch was compromised. Gates still is an enigma always seeming to flop. It seems that he makes a front if doing both right and wrong. I still think he is only self serving looking for the best avenue. I want to see Ginny take on a trained elf. That should be funny.
Harry's talk with Hermione was very touching. It was therapeutic for Harry to say those hinge to her. I think they both needed it. Harry's mention that he would have been with Hermione was honest. I really think he would have.
I can see where Harry would think that based on his decisions and what happened but he should have known that true love prevails. I hope we get another sweet moment with them soon.

This story is so complex I still have no idea whats gonna happen but I am enjoying reading to find out. Good job

Haaaay! were are you? hope everything is well with you...hope to read something soon.

Hi,

I was just wondering when you will be updating?, the antisipation is killing me...it has been almost a month . hope all is well with you?.

Hi,

I know that this chapter is not perfect for what you want to get to your reader's , but I was just wondering when....I'm just soo wanting to read Hermione waking up! and what Harry & Hermione will say to each other about Hugo? & Hugo to them about his sister, and their past relationship?, and Hugo getting to realise how much more they are to each other, and the true love that will always be between them

Well! I just realised how much you want this to be perfect, so SORRY about being so impatient I will wait for your PERFECTION.

Oh hey, the new chapter's up!
Hmmmmm, I enjoyed this one
I'm really confused with the ending, but I suppose that will all be cleared up in the next chapter? I just don't get the 'freed himself\'. Like... from his father? Or he cried? Ah.. jeez, maybe my brain's just not functioning properly.

BRING BACK HERMIONE. I cannot stress this enough. I know, I know, you're building up suspense. This is just a somewhat impatient reader/big fan wanting more HERMS. I fully support the development of other characters and their predicaments, so I'm still really enjoying this even without Awake!Hermione.

and OH HAG. I've always thought she was like... the bane of everyone's existence, including mine, but, hey... her biting evil self has quite grown on me. Like Warren.

Speaking of Warren: aaaaaaaaaaaaarrggh. Why, Hermione, why?

/rant. Ok, so I actually really quite like that scene. That was just me being uber HHr and relishing in H/Hr's misery so long as it means they end up together in the end. But yeah, Good chapter. So, to recap, Warren was really into Hermione, and not just to her... you know (like the old warren)? I'm not too concerned with what happened at that time between them, but, it definitely adds a nice dimension in this character's development.

Kudos, I'm enjoying this story a lot.

PS: since this is all taking place in Philippines and you grew up there, I take it you know about Ondoy? I really hope all your remaining relatives and friends there are safe. I'm pretty torn up about the whole disaster, and I'm really just praying for everyone. Hope all is well!

oh, pretty please bb don't keep us waiting for much longer!

You've probably received enough votes to your question but I think you should continue. Also to that point, I can't help feeling Ginny knows more than she's letting on. I believe she figured out Harry and Hermoine were together but she put her own happiness first and took advantage of Harry's amensia. I could be way off but after this chapter that's how I'm feeling. Thanks!

FINALLY! Someone has paired Dean and Luna together! I had hoped that JKR would have married them off to one another especially after the events in DH...we won't even go there. Thanks for making a little dream in the HP Universe come true.

I too would love to anything with that pairing!

Yay! Another home run for BB! This story had me hooked before the end of the first chapter. I love how you set up the story...right in the middle of conflict.

This chapter was particularly well done. It felt real and very relateable. I can't imagine this is the end of our heroine but your stories have surprised me before. Off to read more!

oooh I missed the hag. I love her candor.
Geez, Hugo is starting to irritate me a bit. Just a tiny bit. As for the ending... I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER. "And freed himself"?!?! I'm curious. And yes... it IS time for her to wake up xD Pls pls wake up

A two for one. The hag and Trelawney, I loved it especially that Trelawney is now fat and drunk. I can't wait to read more.

Oh I really liked the scene with Warren! I missed him so. And it's funny because recently I met a guy I like to privately call RL-Warren. He's entirely moody and insensitive and has such a mean face, which according to a friend of mine is what makes him the sexiest guy in our Uni gang. He's actually quite nice to me, even if everyone sarcastically calls him something like PleasanTom. And he has really nice upper arms. And he plays rugby.

But anyway! I really missed those two together. I know that a long time ago I mentioned how I couldn't conceive that Warren knew of everything that went on between Harry and Hermione and keep it all to himself. Now that seems so natural, and the way they are with each other. I knew Hermione was the one that burned him and not the other way around. I'd have been pissed as well, had I been Warren, when I heard that Hermione had married Ron when she claimed she didn't want to get married. Their conversation about the inevitable was just great and how everything happened.

I wonder if what he said about Ernie has any merit. I don't remember if he is in Harry's inner circle at the present, and for some reason I can't explain I really trust Warren's judgment when it comes to such things. Also, can I assume he was the one impersonating Flavius Belcher? He can act, and I'm sure he would love to pull the Minister's leg, or maybe even really warn him.

Also, I'm very excited to see what message Harry got that had him so irked. I know logically I'm supposed to think Ron was the one that sent the message, but for some reason I'm thinking Warren. Well, Hermione could've charmed the necklace to receive messages from more than one object, right?

I loved Trelawney's comeback! The look on Harry's face (as I pictured it) when he realized she was the one that had foretold that prophecy was priceless. After all, had it been a prophecy like the ones she had made about Harry, she would have no recollection of it and wouldn't tell Hugo to come back. Recently I reread HBP and I see how Hugo didn't grasp how prophecies work. He thinks like Voldemort did. Harry should take the time to have a conversation with him like the one he had with Dumbledore. But of course, I get that Harry is more than pissed off right now and has more urgent things in his mind. And I'm not sure Hugo would be willing to hear him, anyway.

AND I was very, VERY surprised to see the Hag once more, but pleasantly so. I loved how she kept calling Hugo Junior and how she threw all those things in his face. Yes, I have a mean streak, sometimes. I just thought it was long overdue. He was getting all whiny and emo like Harry was in OotP—which strangely is my favorite book partly because of that. And I know that's beside the whole matter anyway, but I'm really curious about the shower story she mentioned when she said that about Harry and Occlumency.

I guess that's it for Trelawney, right? I'm a bit amazed that Hugo managed to break through the Anti-Apparition wards, and I hope he took Harry somewhere safe. And Hermione's really waking up? Thank goodness!

I'm glad to help in any way I can! It's the least I can do since you're the one writing this wonderful story that keeps me entertained. I recently started rereading A Keen Observer, and it's funny but now the warped timelines and ages annoy me a bit more than they did when I originally read the story. Still, it's very worth it, methinks. And it is a bit weird, but I became a huge Bella fan after reading AKO. I understood her and I could even see how the things Andy did influenced Bella's life—for instance I think that had her sister not run away with a muggle-born, Bella perhaps wouldn't be so inclined to prove her insane and deadly devotion to her Dark Lord. Andy's running away was something that marked her personally and so she set out to prove her loyalty, to prove that she wasn't like Andromeda, going to extremes like torturing the Longbottoms into insanity and then in DH killing Tonks. At least, that's what I like to think.

Anyway, I went a bit rabid fangirl now, don't mind me.

I Love this story. When is hermnione going to wake up?!?!?!? Im curious as to how Hugo needs to fullfill his destiny....update when you can. =]
