This is the very first Hermione/Kingsley fic I've ever read... I absolutely loved it. Kingsley, I've always thought, is a very appealing but shamefully under-utilized character. Ron, on the other hand, I'd like to kick. Figures that he would make everything Hermione's fault, which I'm sure was *far* from the case.
Loved the name 'Ebony & Vine' too... nice to see Hermione was able to make lemonade from the sour lemons life (aka Ron) handed her. Or rather, a damn fine cup of coffee. ^_^
I noticed this is a one-shot, but I would dearly love to see a sequel. I wouldn't mind finding out exactly what went down between Ron and Hermione and his reaction seeing that kicking her out turned out to be the best thing he could have done for her. Serves him right. And, of course, I would love to see how things might progress between a certain coffeeshop owner and the Minister of Magic. Hint, hint...
Author's Response: I was considering continuing it, but I'm still wobbling that fine line between leaving what's well enough alone and improving on it. ^^ We shall see. I thought about making her name it "Ebony and Ivory," but thought it would be too obvious. The wand wood idea came to me from there. I love coffee SOOOO much, and I figured a fellow bookworm like Mione would be well pleased with it, too. Glad you enjoyed. =)
