Alan Rickman obsessed ex-civil servant now living the good life in France. I only write in the good ship SS/HG. However, if you think that the only way these two can get together is by some sort of forced marriage, 'binding' or whatever, don't read my stories. You will be disappointed.

I am ashamed to admit that this is the first time I've ever read this story. I don't know why; perhaps I thought I had read it before, but no - I would have remembered this fantastic fic if I'd read it before. Nevermind - it was an incredible treat to read it now. It was perfect. Beautiful, poignant, heartstoppingly perfect. You are such an amazing writer.

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thank you Teddy. It's very kind of you to say so.

That was one of the loveliest things I've read. I enjoy how descriptive your writing is, and how believable the characters are.

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thank you.

yippie!I'm so glad I found this story again, and it's finished, too.What a fabulous read!Loved the premise. Brewing scenes - so funny! Ron's "Mr. Porky" got stuck in my head. Aaarrgh! Oblivate me now! Snape was bril - loved his tea tirades. And the romance was very sweet. Agreeing with Herm on "crowd control" comment.Poor Luna! Better luck the second time around, I hope.Sorry for choppiness, supposed to be out the door 10 min ago.Love and choc biscuits, dark.M.

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thank you - yeah, Ron + Mr Porky = brain bleach.

Response from Anathema (Reviewer)

o_OYou use "brain bleach" too! When I say (type) it to people I usually get a WTF type of reaction.[high-fives fellow bleacher]

aww I loved it. At first I was worried about hermione abandoning her kids but I'm glad that it worked out for the better. I'm also really impressed how you set everything up so nicely. All the little details in the beginning chapters that paid off in the end (the wind in the room, Hermione's comfort with calling Snape Severus, etc.) well done.

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thanks. I think it was proably the most plotted story I've ever written - I tend to start out with a vague idea of where I'm going and hope for the best. With anything involving time travel, however, that's a recipe for disaster. i think I just about managed to cover all the angles, though, but I won't be repeating the experience.

Touching in all the right places, if slightly disheartening (in the first reality, when Hermione married Ron and completely destroyed her own chances of happiness). An excellent read, lovely characterisation, and beautiful dialogue/time sequence.

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thanks

Fantastic!  I love it :D  I love that she had to live those 19 years, and that they had to each fulfill their dreams -- and then refind each other (or rather, he to find her).  I really enjoyed the parallel sections that you wrote, this time with a different slant and different outcome.  So well done!  Thank you!

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

And thank you for reading and reviewing.

This is a fascinating premise -- I've always been fascinated by the idea of parallel universes.  I especially appreciate the idea that it would be Hermione's sacrifice, not having those children, that would be significant... that the children would be born to others, and hopefully be in a more loving home. 

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thank you again.  Yes, it's very much Hermione's sacrifice - and not an easy choice to make.

10/10

shefa

This is such an earthy, visceral chapter.  It's wonderful!  You've given such vivid pictures of not only the concrete details, but the sensations, the emotions, and the impact of all that has gone on... Now, onward -- what goes awry?  How will they fix it... *runs to read more

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thank you.

Oh wow,  that was brilliant! Beautiful! I need a Kleenex now. :-)

Nice progression here... they are eyeing each other... :)

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Oh yes, they most certainly are :)

This is well woven -- nicely paced and filled with details that I imagine will be relevant to us later in the story.  What power there is in his gaze... *shivers...

Thank you

OMG.... *sob... this is wonderful!  Oh, the pain of her life now, the *wrongness* -- and now... what did she do?  What did he do?  What will they do?  Ack!

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

You have all day to ponder it.Thanks for reviewing.

Oh, dear.  What a bleak picture this is.  Ouch... I'm eager to see how they can extricate themselves from this one...

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

It is a bit bleak, isn't it?Thanks for reviewingmach

Response from shefa (Reviewer)

I'm trying to get through the next chapter before I have to start my day... *whimper... I like what you're doing here...  ooh, yes, I do... :D

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

then you'll have a nice cliffie to worry over all day

Thank you so much for your story!  I can't believe I became so emotionally invested in eight chapters.  My heart broke for Hermione!  So relieved it was a happy ending, as well!

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thanks for reviewing.  Glad you liked it.

10/10

shefa

Outstanding start.  (Yes, I'm way behind on my reading...but yay for me, I get to read this complete! :D).  I really like how you're characterizing these three and that it's not Hermione taking the lead, here. 

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thanks.  yes, it makes a change, doesn't it?

Simply wonderful tale, couldn't stop reading once I started!

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thank you!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Battle of Lissa

Very fun, flawless, and entertaining read. The small details with the time travel fit nicely. I found myself constantly bursting out laughing.

I do believe this is the first DH canon story I have read. I had sadly avoided them for fear of depression, but I loved the way this was done.

Response from melusin (Author of Three Blooms in the Cauldron)

Thank you again, Lissa.  I'm very glad you liked it.
