"Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!" Hermione had long forgotten the fateful words Dumbledore had uttered at the end of her first Welcoming Feast when they proved true beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Reviews for Harmonic Resolution
..and chapter by chapter, which, dear litc, is just as hard..
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
I would gladly have posted the entire story in one go, but unfortunately, once I post something, I turn into a hopeless review ho... So I post every other day in the hope of garnering a bit of feedback. :D
My healing thoughts and prayers go with her as she tries. My sister-in-law was diagnosed with a horrible affliction. After the doctors operated on her the prognosis was grim. The doctors didn't give her much chance of surviving at all, and if she did, they said she would need to be hooked up to an IV eight hours a day for the rest of her life!My mother-in-law and the rest of her family are all very religious. We had people from Canada to Panama praying for her, and she got better! She does not need the IV. And the doctors now study her case because she did the impossible! Our spirits really are in harmony. Unconditional love is the best medicine.This is such a cool story!
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you for another lovely review!I think intent, be it in the form of prayer or something else, is what's behind any 'miraculous' cures that cannot be explained scientifically, at least not with conventional science. :DI'm very glad that your SIL healed and is well again!
Oh evil woman, to stop at such a point. I can't wait to read more.
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
*grins*You won't have to wait for long.Thank you for the review!
I am so happy for you frequent updates, and by the end of this chapter, I really, really hope the next chapter will be submitted soon:-)) Will Severus remember "speaking" with Hermione when/if he wakes up?
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you. :D Won't have to wait long.Hm. Is it important whether or not he does?
Response from Sampdoria (Reviewer)
Nope, not important, just me being curious:-))
Thank God, it's Snape's turn next. I know Hermione will do her best for him. Hermione acted more or less on uncertain instinct when she healed the boy and Lockhart... this time, she'll be putting forth a concerted effort for someone she knows and genuinely cares for. I know she'll bring Severus back from the brink. She just has to!*Bites nails nervously, anxiously awaiting the next update*
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Doesn't she always? :DYes, you've got that spot on. Sometimes all we can do is act on an instinct we didn't know we have...If it helps, I promise a happy ending, since I don't do unhappy ones in this pairing, lol.Thank you so much for your kind words!
Go do your best, Hermione! I hope things turn out well. *bites fingernails* Thanks for the speedy updates!
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you!If I say that I've never written an unhappy ending, will that give away too much? :P
Oh, dear. I was thinking that maybe their next get together would be at the Malfoys and she would encounter Severus there. Now it seems as if he won't make it that long!! Still liking the Hermione and Narcissa friendship a lot. Hope to see the next chapter soon. Come on... Severus' life is depending on it!
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words!She'll eventually get to the Malfoys' home, no doubt. :D
Oh no! Hermione needs to tap into that music - and fast! But then, someone had better tell her why! :)
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
*grins*Yes, she'd better hurry!
Why don't more fics have Hermione-Narcissa girl talk?
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
I have no idea why not.
Lockheart? With all his multiple memory victims around the world, she saves Gildy? Why not the Bigbottoms?
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Because there are no characters by that name in this particular fic.
Loved the Hermione-Narcissa interaction. Still difficult to feel any sympathy for Lucy.
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
It's hard to feel sympathy for a non-existing character.
This fic is confusing. Does it require a knowledge of musical scales to understand? Who is giving Hermione these clues and why? I liked the hag's explanation - if it wasn't there I would probably not bother proceeding to the next chapter.
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
If you find it so confusing, perhaps it isn't the one for you to read.
A fabulous chapter as always.
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
*beams*Thank you!
I don't want him to die either. Please Hermione, hurry up in mastering the music of the spheres.
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
I think Hermione might be listening to your please. :D
Aww, Cissy, my dear! Blonde, two-toned or multicoloured - if you ask me, you always look drop-dead gorgeous.And Hermione, if y o u ask me: Personally, I can't think of anything that wouldn't be decidedly entertaining and enjoyable with Narcissa. (Whoaah, look at that - 8 chapters into your story and already having a conversation with the Granger-girl *shakes head in disbelief*)It's hard to see Sev and Cissy suffer, but now that the mushrooms are back I'm confident that something good is going to happen soon. :)
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
I do like canon Cissy a lot better than movie Cissy, but you're right of course. Whatever her style, it'll look good. :DOh, yes, something will happen soon.
Wonderful update. As much as I want to see Severus safely healed by Hermiones music, I do enjoy the friendship Hermione and Narcissa share. I am as usual looking forward to read more!
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy their friendship, too!
One more is healed. I thought she would have gone to heal Neville's parents first but everyone deserves a second chance. This music seems so beautiful I wish I could hear it too.
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you!I'd imagine Neville's parents to require rather more energy than Lockhart, considering how long they've been ill, so perhaps Hermione isn't ready for such a huge task yet? :)
I just started this story today. I didn't review the other chapters because each time I reached the end, I couldn't stop my hand from clicking on the next chapter arrow. This is captivating and I can't wait to see what happens. This is an unusual story (meant in a nice way) and it is so nice to see something different. I am totally hearing the music in my head everytime... it keeps the voices from getting lonely :) I also like Hermione and Narcissa. Unconventional, but it works here. Looking forward to more soon!
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Wow, thank you for your kind words!Unconventional, probably. *laughs* I can imagine, though, on the basis of canon that the Malfoy family changed rather profoundly after their experience with the Dark Lord...
what a facinating story! i wish i could give you a brilliant review worthy of this story, but, alas, i can't. but many thanks and many smoochies!
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you, so glad you like it!
Confusion, thy name is Malfoy! At least for the time being it is. Perfect harmony there as well.Makes me want to cuddle them. But then, what doesn't?
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Oh, I agree; they are very cuddle-worthy! :D
thrive, author, thrive.Readers want more!
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
*grins happily*Thank you!
Your lucid and imaginative descriptions of the music are wonderful. I can almost hear it playing in my mind as I read. Are you a musician? or a conductor? Or a music teacher? Just curious.
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thank you for your kind words!Music does play a large part in my life, yes. :)
Which planets did the piano and harp represent? :)
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Ah, now that we won't find out for a bit. *G*
Lovely to see how much the Malfoys care about Snape. :)
Response from karelia (Author of Harmonic Resolution)
Thanks, my lovely!
