"Wow! What a concoction!" Janice had said.
Janice and I had returned from London to complete the cleansing of the Nott Estate. We had prepared a potion to drive everything out of the cellar and attic of the house. It drove everything out and then chemically broke down after two hours. Janice had decided that everything in the cellar and attic had been spoiled by the Death Eaters, and we had hauled it all out and were burning it.
There was one room left, the study on the upper floor in the southeast corner. It had once been the favorite room of Janice, a morning person. Now it was inhabited by a swarm of big, ferocious, flying insects.
The drones were easily stunned and then levitated to the bonfire for the cellar and attic junk. That left the adult male and female formidable creatures. Janice would stun them while I provided backup.
We entered the room. I saw them out of the corner of my eye as they began their attack. Without thinking, I hurled two quick curses. They exploded in mid air. They were mist.
Throughout the preparation of the noxious potion and the cleansing of the cellar and attic, Janice had watched Hermann work with single-minded concentration. Of all the things for me to get excited about, she thought, fighting down her arousal.
Then she had seen the violent streak in her kind, gentle Hermann. Is this the kind of woman I am? she wondered. I see his violent side, and my nipples press against my bra, my twat soaks my knickers, and I ache for his cock.
"My apologies," I said, turning to Janice. "I know you wanted to do it. It was reflexes."
A sweep of my wand cleaned the place. A detection spell told me nothing else remained in the room.
Janice had a strange expression on her face, as if she had never before seen two beings obliterated in a split second.
Janice had a wild look in her eyes that inflamed me. Not knowing I was such an animal, I said, "There is a ritual that a wizard can do with a consenting lady."
I held my hand over a carpet, performed an incantation, and motioned for Janice to stand on the carpet.
She kicked off her shoes and stepped onto the enchanted rug. She was aware that her toes had curled into the carpet, that her wand had slipped from her fingers and clattered to the floor, and that she had closed her eyes and let out a most enchanting moan.
Oh damn. What has he done to this rug? Oh, yes.
She lowered her head and gave him shy glances as he placed one hand on her waist. She sighed as his other hand massaged her neck. She was breathing heavily through her mouth. Standing on the rug, she believed what he had said this morning about liking her figure.
Let me show you what you like, darling. My blouse and bra can join my wand. Shouldn't you be doing more with your hands? It's not nice to tease your witch.
"Lie down, Janice."
You mean right here! Oh, you mean on this nice, comfy rug.
"Lift your skirt, Janice."
One view of soaking wet knickers. That's kinky! Coming right up, sweetie.
"Spread your legs, Janice."
You mean right now! Okay, we'll get this nice, sexy rug all wet.
Janice lifted her knees and let her legs fall open. She placed her hands beside her head in invitation.
You could have waited till we got to a bed, darling. And what's taking you so long?
She felt him penetrate her with no effort. She felt him part her flesh. She put her feet in the air. Her body and the mounds of her breasts rocked. Everything was quiet except for the sounds from between Janice's open lips and open thighs.
The room was filled with the sound and scent of Janice. Hermann was filled with an animal that wanted Janice.
Janice was filled with the realization that Hermann wanted her, Janice. He wanted Janice sex. He had entered her to give her pleasure. He had mounted her because he wanted to feel her softness, her firmness. He wanted to be nestling between her thighs, watching her face, hearing her moans, and enjoying her. Oh my, she thought. His affection penetrated her deeply, and the last of her defenses dropped away. She was moved by his affection, and she moved with him and for him. When it arrived for her, it started gently, but it built upon itself, and it ended with her entire body clenching him. She had never felt anything like this. She lay in languor ... too happy to be concerned about how completely he had possessed her.
I waited, still inside Janice, as the instructions suggested. Sweat rolled off her. Juice oozed out of her. Soon, everything was soaking wet.
I eased out of Janice. She looked at my still rampant erection. "Medieval magic can be crude," I explained. "This spell is just for you. Just your juices. Give me your knickers, Janice."
She lifted her hips, slid her knickers down and then off. I went to the center of the room and threw them to the floor. There was a soft splat. I held my hand over them and recited the incantation, seriously this time. Back in the dormitory at Durmstrang, we had found a book on medieval sex charms. We thought it hilarious and practiced them many times in jest. I never thought I would be doing one for real.
When I finished the incantation, I finally stuffed my erection, which wouldn't go away, back into my trousers ... rather painfully back into my trousers actually. A change began where Janice's wet knickers lay in the middle of the floor and spread to the rest of the room. The room had a subtle glow that enhanced Janice's complexion. It had a subtle fragrance that reminded me of Janice. A smile spread across Janice's face as the room welcomed her. Her eyes were shining.
"This room is yours, Janice. You can furnish it as you like. You can work in it, rest in it, meditate in it, pray in it, whatever."
She looked at her knickers. "The spell is finished," I said. "They're just laundry now."
I took Janice in one hand, picked up her knickers with the other, and led her out of the room. "Let's give it time to finish adjusting," I suggested.
After we left the room, Janice stopped, and lightly placed her hand on the bulge in my trousers. "What about this," she asked softly.
That erection was not going away.
"Legend has it that the incantations were performed by powerful wizards, "I said.
"Yes, powerful wizards," Janice sighed, not letting go of the bulge in my trousers.
"Legend has it that it was done for gentle ladies, who were grateful."
"Yes, very, very grateful," Janice breathed hoarsely, pressing herself against me.
"I have a bathtub," she whispered. "It's not huge, but it's big enough for two."
"We could tub Japanese style," I replied. "We can shower first, and then soak in clean water."
In the shower I covered Janice with soapsuds ... every inch of her. I rinsed her off. It was still there. I covered myself with soapsuds and rinsed off. It was still there. Janice kept looking at me and grinning. I refrained from saying, "I'm glad you're amused."
"Well," said Janice, "if we're going Japanese." She stepped over to her closet, picked out a kimono and flaunted how nicely it draped over her figure. She sedately walked over to her bed and arranged herself.
"Am I properly modest?" She was on her knees, head cradled in her arms. Her head was covered by her hair. The rest of her was covered by her kimono. We were going to play the secret ravishment of the innocent. It would be acceptable to everyone since no one could tell that Janice was being ravished. Except her feet weren't covered. I would watch her toes curl as she had her orgasm.
Easy. Easy. Easy. Innocent. I placed the tips of my fingers in the small of her kimono-clad back. I walked them up to her shoulder blades and then to her shoulder. I did it again even slower. I did it again just as slow. All innocent, except my erection against Janice's silk-covered round softness. I kept to the strict discipline of the finger-tip walk up her back until I felt Janice make small hip movements. I savored the slow surrender of the innocent lady under the kimono. I changed to just resting my fingertips above her hips. Deprived of the sensory input, Janice rotated her hips to compensate. She pushed her round silk-covered softness against me. I reached back to her ankles and slowly walked my fingertips up the outside of her legs. I calmly watched Janice rotate her hips. I reached back to her ankles and slowly walked my fingertips up the back of her legs. I watched Janice push against my erection. I pulled away from her, reached back to her ankles, and slowly walked my fingertips up the inside of her legs. Janice tried to push herself against me, but I kept my distance as I lightly stroked the inside of her thighs. I lightly stroked the inside of her thighs as Janice changed from rotating her hips to flexing the small of her back. It was the loss of innocence as I calmly watched the woman under the kimono offer herself.
I raised the kimono, placed my hands on her hips, and placed myself at the entrance to Janice. I kept her from pushing back. I enjoyed the silky softness as I slowly worked into Janice. I calmly enjoyed being inside the once innocent woman under the kimono. I listened to her softly moan for her lost innocence. I pulled out and slowly penetrated Janice again, listening to her sigh with pleasure. Once again, I pulled out. As I slowly worked back into her soft body, I saw that Janice was flexing her feet and ankles. I stayed all the way inside her as I moved my hands from under the kimono. I rested them gently at her waist. I felt Janice moving. I watched the silk kimono move. I watched her silky hair toss around, her shoulder and back muscles flex, and her round, silk-covered hips rotate as Janice began the repetitive moves of copulation. I felt Janice get slicker. I listened to the silk rustle as Janice was captured. I listened to the involuntary gasps as all innocence fled and Janice yielded to the iron grip of mating. I felt her desperately press against me. I heard a choked sob and watched her hands move from under her head and grip the bedspread. I felt Janice ripple and turn sopping wet. I watched her toes curl as she began her orgasm. I stayed in Janice and calmly enjoyed her contractions.
Afterwards, I was still erect. Janice regarded me with some concern.
"I just thought of something. Maybe I can talk it down," suggested Janice.
"What?" I asked.
"I'll tell you what a bad boy you are," replied Janice. "I'll tell you all those things about yourself that you don't want to admit."
"Oh, yeah. You'll deflate my ego and erection in one fell swoop. That's really considerate of you, Janice. I'll be forever grateful."
"Yes, when I finish you will be grateful," said Janice, straddling me. "Now, let me take care of this."
Straddling me, resting on her knees and elbows, Janice began gently running her fingers through my hair. "You're gentle," she said very quietly. "You really, really like the woman you're seducing, and you want her to know it. You want her to feel loved and appreciated."
Janice softly kissed me. "You want her to know she's attractive, elegant, kind, and understanding." Janice continued to softly kiss me. "That's why you want to have her."
With her skin just gazing mine, Janice slowly moved. "You go slowly with her. You give her time to get aroused."
"You give her gentle, but hungry kisses, like this." Janice gave me her sweet, hungry kisses.
"You continue to gently stroke her until she starts breathing heavily," said Janice starting to breath heavily.
"You embrace her and nuzzle her," said Janice, embracing and nuzzling me.
"You hope she moans with pleasure," moaned Janice.
"It's only then that you dare look into her eyes." gasped Janice. "It's only after she's aroused that you can reveal your possessiveness. You want to take her, the whole woman, not just use her body. You look into her eyes as she surrenders to you and spreads her legs." Janice looked into my eyes as she slowly spread her legs.
"You continue to look into her sparkling eyes as you enter her." Janice made a low, soft sound as she looked at me and slid part way onto my erection.
"You savor how it feels to penetrate an intelligent, mature woman." Janice raised herself on her hands so I could watch her face as she was entered. "Oh, gods," Janice whispered as my erection entered her.
"She's yours now. You can have her," sighed Janice.
"You press gently and rhythmically into her," said Janice moving her hips.
"Oh. You take the beautiful and capable lady. Oh, you're an animal, oh gods. You take the lady lovingly and kindly. Oh, Hermann."
"You possessive bastard!" gasped Janice, beginning the hip movements of a mature woman caught in coitus.
Janice described my terrible behavior, as her demanding hip movements took me deep into her.
"You watch as she loses control ... You let her fuck ... You let her screw her own brains out ... You gently take her ... You beast! ... You watch her wiggle ... You know you have her ... You watch her smile ... You feel her cream your prick ... You've taken her ... You beast!"
Janice smiled. Her thighs and vagina did their short, intense dance.
"There's more," said Janice, catching her breath. "You are a really, really possessive bastard."
"You hold her nice, round hips and stroke her juicy cunt. You do it slowly and deliberately."
I held Janice's hips and stroked her juicy cunt, enjoying every inch of the penetration.
"You reassure the mature woman that she's desirable, you demon."
"You call her 'Sweetheart' and make her feel wanted, you monster."
"You tell her with your eyes that she's wonderful, you fiend."
"She knows you want all of her, not just her vagina, you ungodly beast."
"You look into her eyes as you take her. You have her. She's yours. You devil!"
I looked into Janice's eyes. She was mine.
When we untangled, I was limp.
Janice was triumphant. "I told you that you were a bad boy."
In the tub, Janice was humming and batting her eyes at me and stretching first one leg and then the other out of the water for me to admire.
Janice was right. I had to stop being possessive.
She licked her lips, writhed in the suds, and sighed, "I'm yours, Hermann. All yours, darling."
Reflecting on what an animal I had been, I decided there were some incantations I had best avoid.
"I might be sore tomorrow, Hermann," Janice announced, "but we can do this again the day after tomorrow."
For a moment, I thought the little panther actually growled.
Intelligent and passionate women are dangerous, and medieval sex charms are not to be trifled with.

Mmm... lovely and interesting observations being made by Hermann... His perceptions and genteel warmth seem to have affected his hosts--He seems to have evoked a considerate and much appreciated empathy (and perhaps more) within and from Narcissa, in particular... and from within himself for the lady of the Manor. Love the cultural background snippets revealed throughout-- the esoteric Death Eaters' social circle has been infiltrated by a unique 'voice'!
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Appreciate the comments. The story does try to portray a character with a different point of view.One possibility is that the Malfoys and Durmstrang have been misrepresented in canon. This is the Malfoys at home. And it is the Malfoys without Lucius. After all, Draco is a better scholar than Harry and a better athlete than Hermione. His father is disappointed in him, but his mother supports him. Is Hermann an aristocrat, an artificial personality?
Intriguing, fresh, and unique! A rare gem of a male original character dropped into canon and on his way to Hogwarts--brilliant! "(...) You don't have a House called 'Gottverflucht' do you?"--lol! But poor dear... the day is starting out a bit shakey for him and he is so very critical of himself... Hermann Busch has definitely a tale to tell--looking forward to his chronicles of his life and times at Hogwarts/Great Britain!
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Hope you enjoy the tale. It is the first story I wrote, and for some reason, I decided to break all the rules: no first person narrative, non-chronological chapters, no transfer students at Hogwarts, no one is as smart as Hermione. Our character is a stranger in a strange land.
It seemed to me that he has asperger's syndrome. I do not regard Hermann as a Casanova. but was hoping he would manage to sleep with more girls. particularly If You could manage an ffmf. loved your first half writing more than the second half no idea why is there a difference but still excellenmy done.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Mild autism or cultural differences or socially awkward scientist or forty-year-old women versus sixteen-year-old girls?
ffmf? He keeps thinking the fmf is going to get him killed.
Don't know if there is a difference in writing styles or not since I am too close to the material. The first half has more varied interactions with the girls although I remember the second-half scenes with Pansy and Li Shan.
lol. excellent characterisation. notaAllboring....
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thanks. Yes, the first chapter tries to present some of his character and dilemma while at Hogwarts.
My days as a lonely wizard were over.She said, "Do you know Theo Nott?" LOL, this entire story is too good! i love your writing style... it conveys emotion without actually telling you... it's so clever =)
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thanks. I tried for a zen no-style, but I don't think I accomplished it.
Response from LoveFenrir (Reviewer)
Are you kidding? You are undoubtedly the master of this style =)
i love your writing style =Dthe first sentence had me literally LOL-ing! my plan was to review every chapter but i'm just getting so carried away with the plotthis hermann guy is such a sexy yet naive player <3 how is this possible? O.O
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thanks. This was the second story I wrote, and I tried pushing the boundaries by breaking all the rules and conventions, which makes it difficult to read. For various reasons, Hermann is an outsider and morally conflicted.
Response from LoveFenrir (Reviewer)
Once you get past the confronting writing style, you really start to love it! I'm surprised more readers aren't obsessed with your work =)
I have really enjoyed reading this fic. I particularly loved the good bye to all his friends at the end, it was well written and beautiful.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the kind comments.
Arguing with the sorting hat! How cool!As before, I wonder why you've changed to Padma's POV in the second last paragraph, but otherwise, I like this chapter a lot!
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thank you for reviewing. Hermann does not take Hogwarts at face value. The change in point of view was probably not necessary, since most readers could guess what she was thinking, but I’m preparing the reader for some really jarring changes that occur later.
Ooh, I like the romance unfolding between Herman and Narcissa.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thank you for a perceptive review. I tried to write a subtle, growing relationship that neither was consciously aware of.
I think you did a fantastic job of portraying a character with English as his second language. His speech seemed very believable to me, and I think the insertion of the German words lent credibility to it. My only nitpick about this chapter is the three lines where it changes from his point of view. After Hermann and the others had left, Ginny rounded on Hermione, "You could have been a little more unfriendly if you had worked at it.""Ginny," Hermione said quietly, "that shy little boy is probably a Death Eater.""I'm going to board the 'nice looking train,'" said Ginny, walking off in a huff.That doesn't seem to fit to me. Since the story is written as his narritive it seems out of place to mention an exchange he didn't hear. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. I'm totally intrigued that he knows Draco, Crabbe and Goyle, and I found the opening paragraph very intriguing, particularly the part in which you say a twelve-month period in which I betrayed everyone who came into my life. I'm off to read the next chapter!
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
I appreciate your remarks about the stilted conversation, and I’m glad you found the prologue and first scene intriguing. Thanks for the review. Regarding point of view, I originally had one point of view, but initial readers wanted the views of other characters in some scenes. I resisted at first, but then decided to approach the changing points of view as a writing challenge. The site editors questioned me about it, but decided to allow it since I knew I was doing it and regarded it as a writing challenge. I realize that, no matter how well it is done, it will bother some readers. In chapter 1, I could have used the artifice of Hermann overhearing the conversation, but I decided to ease the reader into the fact that the story was going to do this. In some later scenes, the abrupt change creates an effect would be impossible to achieve by other means. If it helps, I regard fan fiction as an experimental arena. If I’m successful, you will find things in ‘Hermann’ that you will not find anywhere else.
There were many amusing bits in this chapter. I wish there were more ... but I'm not bitter about it.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Okay, the chapter kept you anchored and you rode it through to the bitter end. Thanks for the review
What I find interesting is that no matter how much Hermann offends others, he intrrigues them so much that they just can't leave him alone.
I don't find Hermann offensive necessarily, though the way he speaks can oftentimes offend. He is a complex character -- and he is so intriguing as to be addictive. Sort of like my morning coffee, I need a little Hermann.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Or … we can invert it and say that the canon character, remaining in canon, can approach him only through his flaws.
Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)
And, I must add that I am in awe at how thoroughly you have thought through JKR's story, your story and its character. I have to admit, it's more than many do, including myself.
great new chapter! yay for TS Eliot. i'm looking forward to more.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thanks — continued interest by an accomplished writer means a lot. If you like Eliot, there is a parody of ‘Wasteland’ near the end of chapter 8. Part of it is the chapter summary. I hope it’s not carrying on too much to say that there’s one of e. e. cummings (Buffalo Bill) with Luna at self-defense practice in the desolate field.
I just read this story all in one sitting, and I really enjoyed it. The language reminds me of this book I read a few years ago called 'Everything is Illuminated' It's sexy and interesting seeing Hogwarts from an outsider's perspective. continue please!
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thank you very much for a great review. I hope you find the rest of the story as interesting.
... And the girl in the library reading this wonderful story shouted rounds of "Bravo!" as their souls were equally satisfied and another excellent chapter came to a close.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Glad to be entertaining. The next several chapters are calmer. The plot requires the introduction of a major canon character, and it requires this character remains strictly canon.
All I can say is I think Luna is channeling me. Shan definitely is not. I would never request a sonnet. (I like punishment, but not THAT much punishment.)
Darn it ... now what was that dismembering charm?
Okay. So that wasn't a very mature review, was it? I have an excuse, though ... the vacation has left me in need of a vacation. But this chapter had so many little gems in it. It was either that or I could have sung a stanza of:
Im Hogwarts der ist kein bier.
(Which I understood perfectly of course, being originally from Wisconsin.)
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
The review fits the chapter — Ravenclaws at play. It’s quite funny you consider writing a sonnet crueler than dismemberment.
Oh, that was so funny ... ripping a chapter out of the Malfoy book to say he they had a wider range of acceptable behavior!
Hermann's escapades were well written. I particularly enjoyed the verbal part of the stimulation. While he still has many things to learn, he is certainly learning a few things quite well.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
I thought I had written the raunchiest scene this side of consensual. The site editor snickered over it, and you found it titillating. Tough crowd.
I love the introduction of the kata and the two girls going through the routines and fencing with him. It gives Hermann something more to think about, doesn't it?
I wonder if I've said this before in another review... I think the episodic approach is what keeps this story interesting. Every chapter there is something new. And I really like that.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
I almost prefaced the chapter with Tyger, Tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night Hermann is not wrong about those two. I still remember blocking out the vignettes as they occurred to me, arranging and rearranging them on the timeline, and working at getting them to come together.
I must say that Hermann is quite in touch with his feelings. I suppose in more ways than one. (I was specificially talking about how he is so in tune with his anger, but I see that it could be interpreted another way as well.) I think Hermann is wise to take advantage of an opportunity when he's presented with one, but the poor boy certainly needs a witch with more ... verve.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
I appreciate your continued interest. Yes, you have summed up the points of the chapter: his dealing with his raging emotions, his moral quandary, and his feelings of inadequacy.
Well, it seems that Hermann is getting used to conversing with girls. Honestly, he was mis-housed. He is a true Slytherin. But, I do agree that he has the intelligence to rival the most-intelligent Ravenclaw.
I have become addicted to this story, I hope you are aware.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Yes, that Slytherin-Ravenclaw mix is the main point of the chapter. It's not much of a spoiler to say that it's important for the story.Hermann is marginally better with the girls.I notice you can review without giving away the contents. Very clever. Is that a Slytherin trait?
Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)
Every time I put on that darn hat, it tosses me into Slytherin. I'm not disappointed. *wink*
There are many readers who read reviews first, which can be like reading the last page of a novel first if reviewers aren't careful. I intentionally try not to give away any spoilers.
I was happy to see a longer chapter. Not only does it give us more insight into the Malfoy family relationship, it gives us more insight into Hermann. Your style of writing also lends a hand to the character development. The more I read, the more I like this story, Fairfield! Keep up the excellent work!
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
I’m glad you liked the chapter, and I thank you for the encouragement. Later sections, however, may disappoint you. If I recall correctly, the order of importance for the ancient Greeks was (1) plot, (2) ideas, (3) character, and (4) diction. I tried a mix. [Yes. I read Aristotle’s ‘Poetics,’ became inspired, and wrote a fanfic.]
Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)
I am rarely disappointed. I understand that some chapters may develop plot while others develop character or other things. I am a patient girl.
I believe you are the only person I've met who got inspired to write fanfic after reading Aristotle. My goodness. Maybe it's what makes your writing so interesting to me. It could be what gives it that unique flavor.
I kinda hate to see it end. This was really a fun story to read. You gave Hermann such interesting adventures/encounters with Hogwarts as a backdrop. It was nice to see a different perspective--even if it was from an adolescent who was somewhat a Casanova.
And even though Hermann was made up completely, the other "normal" characters were fairly believable. (I hate it when someone writes a story about Harry--or one of the trio--and makes it look like a 16-year old is directing adults and that the adults are just meekly doing what he says.) In short, I think you've done a fine job of writing.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thank you for the perceptive review and kind comments.
The story is finished, and everyone who is going to read it has read it. No reason to worry about spoilers.
Please, tell your friends about the story. Lucius is available. Narcissa does not regard setting a large snake on a student body containing her son as good parenting.
Adult Brit wizard society appears weak in the novels—probably to emphasize Harry’s heroism. Hermann, however, observes Brit wizard society is weak, reasons that Harry is not a social reformer and cannot act beyond society, concludes that Harry will be ineffective or detrimental, and decides to take independent action.
Canon Hermione spouts canon. Since Hermann believes canon is nonsense, he thinks she’s a nutter, and Hermione is left a lonely swot.
Such a beautiful good-bye to all his friends. I felt sort of sad that he was so alone in the end ... but all good things must come to an end, mustn't they?
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
My regards to The Petulant Poetess, the only fan fiction site with the courage and tolerance to publish ‘The Hermann Chronicles.’
Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)
And you are more than welcome here. I enjoyed the uniqueness of this story and the uniqueness of your style. Thank you, Fairfield, for posting!!
A magical little interlude ... leaves me wondering where they teach Medieval sex charms. Those are quite useful.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
They are quite useful if you’re as capable as Janice Nott … of course you are … just mentioning it. Thanks for the review.
I've been reading this story and find it really funny--and often hot.
There are stories where some of the characters are out of character, but the author won't recognize it. You've done a wonderful job of creating out-of-canon situations and characters--and acknowledging it. Thanks for providing such fun!
I should probably have reviewed more often, but I smile every time I read your work.
Response from Fairfield (Author of The Hermann Chronicles)
Thank you for a perceptive and sympathetic review. Most of the characters are original or minor (who may as well be original). I tried a transformation of Draco. Instead of reacting to Harry, I gave him an independent existence with a supportive mother, a peer as a friend, Quidditch, Potions, and girlfriends. I tried to keep Hermione in canon. Her interactions with Hermann are a clash of personalities and cultures.
Response from janis (Reviewer)
I noticed your transformation of Draco. I have a friend who would have been angry at your sympathetic portrayal of Narcissa--mostly because she fancies Lucius--but it was quite nice to see more about Draco and less about Harry for once. Don't get me wrong, Harry is still the hero in my eyes, but since JKR's stories are basically told from Harry's perspective, it's refreshing to have Draco as a more complex character.
I think you did a good job of keeping Hermione in canon. You made her a swot, had a little competition going (completely believable) and also showed her as being quite logical.
I'm sorry to see the story end, but you're probably right to conclude it the way you have with the next chapter.
--Janis
