This was lovely.  I love music and listen to many different kinds.  I spent many years in choir and piano lessons etc... and have never heard of the music of the spheres.  I really thought in the beginning that it was something you made up :)  Very sorry to see this tale end but enjoyed it while it lasted.  Hope to see more from you very soon!  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful story with us. I'm glad that you finished the story but sad that I won't be able to come online and read another chapter.

For some reason, I resisted reading this piece until this last chapter came out.  It finally resonated with me this evening to read it.  It's an interesting piece, and very well written.  A little fast for my tastes, but I read quickly, and love long, drawn-out stories.  Anyway, good job, and keep writing!

Alright, that's the voice she needs to hear, the man she needs to heal.  Does her level of emotional pain correspond to the degree of impairement in those who need healing?  It seems that the orchestra became more defined when she heard Severus' cries compared to the boy.  I'm really getting into the story, or can't you tell?

At last, the violin has arrived, and Hermione has a better understanding, but will she need to control the music to bring about healing?That Lucius is a funny one.  He is so loving and gentle toward Narcissa, but seems to have some contempt for Muggles still.  I'm sure he'll soften toward Hermione soon enough.Off to read more!!!

Three is a magic number in this chapter.  The instruments, the heavenly bodies, the chanterelles, and then her Arithmancy equations centered around three and mulitples of it.  I can't help but wonder how this will perhaps clarify and intensify her ability to heal.  Your pacing is perfect, revealing just enough information and mystery to whet the reader's appetite.  Chapter length and breaks are perfect as well.  

This is my bright spot today.  I loved Hermione's abrupt brush-off to Prof. Vector.  Who needs Arithmancy anyway.  She has a new life to begin and a burgeoning mystery to solve.  Her solitude feels totally IC, considering what she's endured over the past few years.  Her foraging in the forest makes me laugh because of her camping experience with Harry and Ron, yet it holds for her sweeter memories of time spent with her father.  I'm frustrated for the Malfoys, though, having to wait another three months to attempt Severus' awakening.  Mean old hag!  And cue the mysterious music...

Sorry I'm late to the party.  I haven't had time for a chaptered story of late.  Today, however, I have chosen to read your lovely words in hope of a 'pick-me-up', and as an added bonus, I see this story is complete on this archive!What serendipity for Hermione.  She discovers an intriguing mystery, the music of the spheres, just when she needs a true diversion from the contrary Prof. Vector.  And then the annuity arrives?  What good fortune for her, and probably for Severus as well.  As a mum, I find it easy to sympathize with Narcissa.  But I'm often ambivalent about Lucius.  Yet today, I like the kinder, gentler pater Malfoy.Great beginning.  I'm off to read and review some more.

Hourray for their first kiss!! I'm glad everything is well and that Neville will finally meet properly his parents. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful story.

This has been such a wonderful story to follow, I have enjoyed every chapter. Thank you so much for sharing:-))

What an uplifting story. I imagine that Bach, for the sheer prolific volume and brilliance of his work, Mozart for the intricate beauty that required no revision, and Beethoven for the ability to create what his human ears could not hear, make them all quite likely candidates for devine intervention where their music is concerned.As for modern rock/pop, I enjoy listening, but it speaks more to my animal instincts. Classical speaks to my soul.I really enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful, brilliant, amazing. I loved this story.

nice ending if a tad on the pat side. Wonder what vector doth think of it all.

Now, he's back, and she's back - time to start figuring out how the music works perhaps? :)

I've said before that I like the Hermione/Narcissa relationship, but I don't think I have mentioned that I quite like the relationship between the Malfoys as well.  She has changed a lot since the war and really seems sincere.  He, I think, still has some deeply ingrained prejudice, but is really trying.  And he totally dotes on his wife so I think if something is important to her, it will become important to him.  That is too bad about the  strong connection between Severus and Hermione... now they are going to have to spend every second together ;)  It is a good sign that her first concern upon waking is whether he calls her by her first or last name. 

I'm disapointed. No Prince Charming Kiss to wake her up? I certainly hope there will be a kiss very soon. *stomp foot*PS: You know I'm joking, right?

Ah, another wonderful update! Thank you so much.

Good to see Kingsley and the three of them like this.There is a very peculiar magic to this story that makes me wish the next chapter weren't the last one - even though I have a hunch about what might be next on Cissy's agenda..

Thank you for another beautiful update.

Beautiful.  And I  must say that I am glad it didn't take Gilderoy to do the miracle.  I've always thought Severus was more miracle worthy than Gilderoy.  Lovely, as always.  Sara

Lovely.

How wonderful to hear and feel the music. Lucky Hermione.

YAY!!!But I'm guessing it will still take a while for Hermione's magic to fully recover, yes? Time that Hermione will get to spend with the Malfoys.And Severus, of course. Hopefully, quality time...

How interesting that Lockhart would be needed to bring her back. Perhaps both his influence and Severus' were needed together? She certainly needs Severus next to her at any rate. Will that continue as she gains strength?I anxiously await your next update.

Can't understand why she didn't in chapter 9 but I must say she got Narcissa a present after all - and a long-wished-for one at that. Glad Severus is back.I really like your way of 'choreographing' the symphony and describing the interaction among the musical instruments and their very own ways to lure Severus back to life. Not impatient at all, just glued to the computer.

Thank you for another wonderful chapter. I'm always excited when I see it's been updated. You've maintained your characterization throughout the chapters and it'll be interesting to see how throwing Severus in will change the dynamics.I'm a little confused about the hag and her role in the story. I think I was a little confused at the earlier chapter she was in. I didn't know if she was good or evil. I know the giant was a mentor for Hermione as she learned the power of the sphere's music but I'm not sure how the hag and he are connected. Will we find out later or did I miss something when I was reading earlier chapters? I'm looking forward to the next chapter which if you run true to form should be Friday!!!
