This was so charming! *^_^*

I really hope there is more.  I look forward to it.  This was very good.

This is really a different sort of writing style, very entertaining and wonderful

Its nice to read this again.

This is very well written. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting start. Glad Severus didn't bolt with her arrival. Curious to see how things evolve. Thanks for writing.

I like this, rather a lot.  It's got a very different, very interesting feeling to it- the birds, the letting-things-be of it gives it sort of a new agey (not in a bad way!) taste.  How does new agey taste?  Like crisp bread with pesto and fresh vegetables, maybe a little salami on top.  This makes me want to listen to birds, and find my place in Italy.

Oh, this is going to be good, I can tell!  And every time I read "The Village" I keep thinking of The Prisoner--not that I think this Village is a prison, but it seems to share a certain unearthliness with Number Six's place of enforced residence.  I'm very interested in finding out more about the place, and how it will wind up changing Hermione!

This story just fills me with joy. Thank you 

Wonderful, just wonderful.

" the land itself was filled with joy " that line made me want to walk barefoot in the Italian dust. What a wounderful place for Severus to settle.

Beautiful! I want to live there, too...

This is such a lovely story, Annie.  I know I've read it before, but it was before I grew some fandom manners and learned to leave reviews, or it could have been on OWL.  Either way, it is still as special today as it was the first time.

Hugs, Beth

Wonderful, unique and well written.  Such a treat!

it's a lovely story.  i might have read the first chapter before, but the rest was new to me.  i love the magic of the village; the birds reminded me of cinderella.  ;)  (of course, it does rather make me feel like tossing my own italy-based ss/hg wip into the rubbish bin.  but i won't.)

Nice Happy ending, but you had such an amazing start it would have been great to see the actual interaction and how they got to be life partners.  Their second conversation their first time together.  So much left unsaid.  Yoou have an amazing visual ability to tell a story.  I hope you will grace us with more of your work.

5 stars!   I love the idea of Wizarding genes moving through the villiage's families, after Hermione's granddaughter marries into the village. 

Thanks for sharing this with us!

I love your birds.  You have painted a picture that draws one in, and then, the birds, both of them befriending the animals, makes it even more wonderful, more magical.  I don't mean only magical in the sense of using magic as part of a story, but magical writing.

I like how everything is so wrapped up here.  Life went on, with all the ups and downs that life brings, but all the details can be tied together into a bundle which you present to us.  It's succinct, and peaceful.

Fabulous ending!  This story is going into my favorites :)

 Heartwarming. I loved this one.

Delightful, light, transendental, wonderful.

I love it!

Very good story, I feel like I am there in the countryside, talking with the birds. Very beautiful.

I just came upon this story and I'm really loving it. I look forward to more. I also love the picture :)

Beautiful, Annie. Thanks for sharing this.
