Reviews for A New Beginning (DH -COMPLIANT)

    Wow, what an excellent take on a canon ending. About Hermione wasting her life... JKR didn't write it in her epilogue, but she stated in an interview that Hermione chose 'Magical Law' as a career path. Her oldest child is a few years younger than Harry's eldest; perhaps she had used those additional years for furthering her education. It's hard to speculate with so few clues. I guess what I am trying to say is that being a good mother in a happy marriage and being a successful woman in the workforce aren't two things that necessarily need to be mutually exclusive.

    Anyway, this is a great beginning. I'm absolutely amazed that you have so much written since it hasn't been even a month yet since the release of DH. I'm also quite impressed that you have managed to keep Snape so true to character; although I do think you have made him more attractive than is necessary. What's attractive about Severus is his acerbic wit; not his body.

    Can't wait for your next update :).

    Oh alright. I didn't want Harry to know about Severus. But you were right and I was wrong. That's why you are a great writer and I'm just a faithful admirer. Breastlady

    Breastlady: You just keep going girl. Actually, I thought Hermione was being pushy too. She didn't ask him, she just stated she was going to tell Harry because he had "a right to know" I don't agree with everything I have the characters do, but just like in life, people are going to do what they want. Plus it keeps it interesting. My kids crack up watching me write, because I'll be frowning at something someone is doing in the story, or muttering under my breath. lol. I guess it entertains them. I really do appreciate your comments though. Keep 'em coming. I'm paying attention. ***

    It didn't seem to me that Snape was giving Hermione permission to tell Harry he is alive. I felt he was simply resigned to the fact that the self righteous know it all would do what ever she wanted regardless of his wishes. In this case, I feel that precious little Harry's need to know does not out way Snape's right to privacy. If she tells Harry I will be disappointed in her, especially since Snape tried to help her family by giving her this job. Also, if she tells Harry I am certain Harry will force himself upon Severus. I am really enjoying this story. I enjoy all of your stories actually. When I really like a story I become very involved and tend to give reviews with my commentary and opinions on the events and characters. It's not because I think you should change anything. I hope it isn't annoying.

    I can understand Hermione being quite curious and a bit excited, but why is she having such a cow about Snape. So she doesn't like to be tricked. Too bad. She really wasn't tricked anyway. She was just never told who owned the company. It didn't bother her until now. She hadn't bothered her much when she took the job that she didn't know who owned the company. Snape hasn't done anything to hurt her and his business is his business. He owes her nothing but a pay check. She may even owe him a wizard's debt for saving Hugo. She afraid of him, why? He fought to kill Voldamort and never hurt her, Harry nor Ron. He even saved Harry's ass a few times. Yes, he's a powerful wizard. Yes, he can be dangerous, but I bet Hermione can be too. So, he's a mean bastard. He hasn't inflicted that on her since she became his employee. I hope for and do expect Hermione to keep his secret.

    Ryu: The only thing Rod and Severus have in common is that Rod is treated badly by other students. Severus was much better off. He did have friends (even if they were aspiring Death Eaters), he was great and quite talented in potions and with spells, he would fight back when targeted, spoke up for himself and he was enrolled in Hogwarts properly. Rod doesn't have any friends, isn't above average in anything, really barely passing, he doesn't fight back when targeted or isn't confrontational, and he has to work to make his way. I think it is the targeting that makes people think he and Severus are similiar, that and the appeal of Voldemort, except the reasoning was different. Severus wished to protect Lily and thought being a Death Eater would help him do that. All Rod wants is a bit of respect, though he wouldn't mind being popular and liked and to do better in school. Rose isn't a love interest at all. She just speaks to him. He's under no delusion she likes him, though he admires her flying ability and appreciates her being nice to him. So, in my mind, he's not anything like Severus was in school. But again, people see things differently.

    Very original and creative! I can even understand that Hermione was happy with Ron, and that's usally something I just can't buy. I never think it would work betweent them; but, you made that believable. It really is an enthralling story. I love you original setting, and your in depth character interactions. It's very well written. I hope you update soon!

    Ah, I see, well I'm 5'8 so I get to look down at the world,lol.It helps when your in a crowd too :).Have to say the resurection stone idea was quite brilliant ...although Rod reminds me a bit of Severus-when he was a kid. Theres even a pretty, smart red-head to add to the package...I'm guessing the obligatory competition for her love is also going to come along soon?

    Spoiler alert



    Yes, I agree that this was an important chapter. At the end of DH I thought, "Hermione shouldn't have wasted her life that way". My fan fiction Hermione would be restless with that life. Until Ms Figg added in the fact that she was not just loved but she was utterly cherished. What would most of us give up to be cherished by a mate? I am blessed to say "I did and I am". And now I think it was worth it. Though, I did not always feel this way when I was young. I also work with many women who have reached their professional dreams only to find that after all that, they just wanted to be cherished and have babies. I've actually had very successful women say to me after spending literally $90.000. to get finally pregnant at thirty something years old, "I wasted my so much of my life. I should have done this first and then pursued my career. I just want to stay home and be a mom." But I must admit that though I am sorry for Hermione that she has lost her loving husband, she now has a chance to truly use her gifts and grow in this new way. Without you adding this chapter I had a vague sense that Hermione really had wasted her life thus far. Thank you. This chapter explained a lot. Breastlady
