Love those mushrooms and their strange tendency to pop up in conversations and thoughts here and there and everywhere.. Love - ah well, you know.. and the rest of the chapter, too. Hate to sound impatient but isn't it high time you posted the next one? *grins maliciously*

Another lyrical chapter. :) I like it very much and can't wait to see what happens next.

How is she learning to control them and make them play in tune? Will Mercury be a flute? :)

Woman cannot live by mushrooms alone.  Can she have some cheese?  Or a nicy juicy steak?

So, is Emery Down somewhere near Hermione's new home?So this is how water should taste! How many people will never know this?  :)

intriguing, i can hardly wait for the next chapter.your writing gets better and better

Another lovely chapter. I really like the imagery here. I can see Hermione's new home perfectly and nearly tasted the fresh spring water.  Good work

Synchronicities! I love those. Good start! I look forward to reading more. I especially want to learn about what happened when she heard the music. ~clicks forward~

I can so totally see Hermione taking a year off to research and pursue a hunch.  Good for her!  I loved reading about the mushrooms ... You made my mouth water!  Can't wait to find out what the music means and how it will continue to play out through the rest of the story.  This has such a lovely, lyrical feel to it.  You've done a phenomenal job of setting the entire tone of the story with your style of writing.  Just perfect!!

Such an intriguing beginning!  I love Hermione's ennui over her job prospects, and the interactions between Lucius and Narcissa were delightful.  Looking forward to more!

this is a really interesting premise, but I feel like the entrances of the Music are really abrupt.  It feels disruptive rather than mysterious.  Maybe if you used more lead-up, a calmer, lengthier description of Hermione's environment, or thoughts, or just the immediate surrounding area.  it was so abrupt at the end of this chapter that I at first thought you were talking about a fish--penny buns, chanterelles, and bass.  it's in the same sentence as two other kinds of food she's gathering, do you mean bass the fish or bass the instrument?   :)  I like the direction you're going but i think you could use a little revision and expansion.   the chapters feel to me like they ought to be longer.  also, where are hermione's parents?  she just trotted off at the end of the year without mentioning them!

Yes, my lovelies. Go and don't forget to come back asap. I'll be here as well.Can't wait to read the next chapter. Ain't that a surprise? NOT. :)

Thank you so much for the update. The seccond chapter was just as intriguing as the first one, I am very much looking forward to read more.

I love stories of a spiritual nature. This one fits the bill nicely.Have you ever seen the movie "Matrix"? There is a child in the Oracle's front room. He is bending a spoon using only his mind. When Neo asks how he does it, the child replies, "There is no spoon!" That line reminds me of your Einstein quote from the beginning.And the Rosicrucian, Robert Fludd, is one of my ancestors! So I can really relate to this story so far!

I look forward to further music.

".. or, should you turn Dark, until your incarceration in Azkaban." LOL, priceless. That might have got me hooked on the story if Cissy's presence hadn't done so already. *sighs resignedly* I'd actually like to read more...

This fic has an outstanding beginning. Please keep up with it. I look forward to more!

Very interesting plot, I am very much looking forward to read more!

i have read it!!!!!!It is a beautiful start, i like the way the story is progressing, i  hope that this is not all you are going to post.beautiful!!

Love this chapter and how Narcissa is portrayed. 

Love the way it emerges from canon and continues on.
