So thats where Hermione gets her power.A very nice twist on canon.

Such poignant vignettes, and so much truth avowed and betrayed by the tingling of the toes!  So Salazar left but Godric stayed, even if he wasn't her father.  But the poor Grey Lady was perhaps not surprised by her tingling toes.  And dear little Hermione has a bit of Slytherin and Ravenclaw in her ... but she went with the House of the Man Who Stayed.  Very, very nicely done!

Hermione - Helena - Rowena. Wow. It would be horifying to know that people lie. Especially since everyone lies all the time. It's a curse, but a captivating one.

This is good.  A different approach to how Hermione got her magic.

Hermione, the Heir of Ravenclaw? The Malfoys would surely faint!

I love the glimpse into the Founder's stories! And who knows who might be lurking in Hermione's family tree . . .

Wow, who needs legilimancy when you've got legilidigitcy :o)

i love this one.  would be interesting to see a spinoff to a larger fic for Hermione.

Ah. *sighs contentedly* Sad tale, but so beautiful.

Ooooh, very interesting. How on earth was Hermione related to Rowena, though? Helena had no children!

Hmm.  Wonder if Hermione will remember that when she's older? :)

Very interesting story.  I liked it a lot!

And yet, she didn't get sorted into Ravenclaw (or Slytherin for that matter)

Aha... and there's a bit of pedigree in the muggle family after all.  Fun way to turn canon on its ear.

Wonderful and melancholy, just the way I like them.

So that's why the Sorting Hat considered Ravenclaw for our gal Hermione, eh? I love the vignette approach used here, and the Founders' stories that are so clearly told as you read between the lines. (Ah, Helena! Terribly sad.)

Nice tying of Hermione back to Ravenclaw, by the way.

where in the world did you find this; how could one make this  up.It is righout wonderful how you used the prompt.ok. it sometimes is a course to know when a lie was told.but the funniest line was the last, she doesn't miss her cheating husband. and her daughter has it also.runs in the female line, doesn't it.men don't seem to have the sensability.A very intersting family legend.Thanks for sharing.

I like the way you've linked Hermione back through to the founders. Cleverly done.
