    Things seem to be going very well for Draco, Ron & Harry, they all needed a break!!! It also sounds like Severus is starting to come around a bit*

    Great chapter. I really like it that she is taking Snape with her as he's the only one who didn't lie to her or omit information from her. The stuff with the boys was very good as well!

    Kirsteen,

    I have just read your last chapter of 'Triumph out of the Bitter Taste of Ashes', and noticed you had Ginny call Harry, Ron and Draco in for dinner. I'm positive it had been said even in that chapter that she is dead. Did you mean Mrs Weasley? I thought I had better point that out to you, as it made me double back, wondering if I had missed something.

    rwisrwise, I wanted to let you know that I have been really enjoying your story. I especially like the way Ron and Draco's relatonship is proceeding. I must admit I had never considered a Ron/Draco pairing before, simply becuase their hatred of each other goes deeper than school-boy rivalries, like Harry's and Draco's, but I am surprised to see it fit so well.

    Hope to read more soon,

    Trix.

    Great chapter. What appt. is Hermione going to this time? Same thing?

    Also, in the beginning of the chapter you say Mrs. Weasley has been far more affectionate since Ginny died. But later, when Ron and Harry are tickling Draco... you have Ginny shouting, "Dinner!" to get the boys back into the house. Am I missing something??


    Looking forward to more!

    First off, I'm thrilled you updated. I was seriously waiting fot the next chapter, rather impatiently though. I really don't know what Hermione is going to do. How is Draco going to react. I know he realizes that Granger is carrying a viable hto tto the Malfoy line. By the way, Isn't Ginny dead?

    Am still loving this story! Really touching scene with Hermione and Severus at the end of this chapter, very nicely written! Update soon!

    PS - A little thing, but you had Ginny calling the boys in to dinner - isn't she dead?

    Ok Im confused, Ginny is dead at the top of the last chapter but then she is calling people in for dinner? I take it that Ginny is a ghost? Otherwise , Im really liking the story and I like it that Draco gets to see how the other half lives. it will be good for him. Keep it up!!

    Actually, I like this version much better, although it is still very hard for me to read. I think though (and this is what my email said - dang yahoo mail is just awful! It never goes through when I really want it to!) that is a sign of really great writing. Just the fact that you could hold my attention like that and make me feel the emotions so strongly is amazing. Very, very well done!

    I'm sorry that I missed the rant, it must have been a doozy. I hope you didn't think that *my* review was meant as criticism to you or your story. I have some issues (like most the planet) about the subject and as a non-christian in America, get a little touchy about the people who sermonize others, dictating their moral views. I never thought that you were the one sermonizing, I just recognized the type. I have had to go in for exams at clincs and had to push my way past activists screaming at me about something I wasn't even there for. For many poor women the clinics are the only place to get OB/GYN care and those people make it hard for them to even get their check-ups. It's criminal to keep people from medical care and their fanaticism causes more harm than good. More importantly, the story reads better now and is both more colingling and truer to Hermione's character. I wish there was an older woman Hermione could talk to about this. I am sorry she hasn't felt comfortable about talking to her parents.

    Just wanted to tell you that I love the story, I think you write quite well. As for all those who can't stand for a story to say something they don't agree with, they need to grow up and realize that if it bugs them that much, just stop reading. Keep it up.

    Despite what some of your reviewers are saying, I am impressed with how you have had Hermione deal with this situation. I think it is in character for her and I hope that you write more soon. Don't let the negative people get to you, I think you are doing a good job of writing about a difficult situation. Not everyone will like it but if they are reading stories on a site that deals with adult themes they can't expect to like everything.

    First of all..I for one am GLAD that Hermione is considering abortion/adoption. I have always found it unrealistic in other fic's that she would immediatly fall in love with a baby that was concieved by rape. Secondly...I am not sure how abortion is viewed in the UK, but here in the States the type of harassment she encountered at the abortion clinic is something that young women really do have to deal with. I love this story, and the slow pace at which Hermonie and Severus are getting together. It makes the the fruit sweeter so to speak. Update soon!

    I'm really sorry that you have gotten flames for this story, as it has been very well-written and quite thoughtful. I've had it bookmarked for ages so I don't miss anything.

    Personally, I think that you've got a wonderful characterization of Hermione. For all of her book-learning, she still would most likely be confused about something that could have such a big impact on her life and the lives around her. I'm also Pro-Choice, but see it as every woman's right to choose to have or not have an abortion- unlike some of the flamers I guess. I'll just sit here, impatiently (lol), for Hermione's decision; knowing that if you write her as you have been doing that her decision will make sense for her.
