A very nice idea. I like how her journals give us an insight into how she and Snape met. But I'd like more. To me it feels not-finished somehow. And I'd just love a conclusion. Perhaps not that she remembers, but that she fits into life again. And I'd really like to hear more about how she and Rose handle things.

Wonderful story. It doesn't quite feel finished. I wish you gave us a few more of the flashbacks and insight into their lives -- whatever happened with the book? with Rose? did Ron make any more unfortunate appearances in the past? The story does very well as it is on it's own but it leaves me wanting. I really enjoyed the Ron story arc -- how Hermione went from reaching out to him as her crush, and as something familiar and how disappointing the reality was. I also enjoyed the through line of her physical attraction for and comfort around Severus as well as the characterization of the mature and considerate Harry Potter.

Thanks for writing and sharing this lovely story!

When you have Hermione say that Harry showed up with strawberry crepes on her birthday because they were her favorite, the suspicious part of my brain thinks that this was a set up.  Someone, who knew this and knew she would combine ingredients to make this dish, devised for it to erase her memories.  Perhaps having the heat from the oven trigger it. 

Since Ron is the only one with something to gain, my bet is on him.  Also he seemed genuinely surprised that Hermione remembers Pansy as if he knew how much of her memory should have been lost.

Just my theory.

Wow, so many wonderful exchange stories I didn't get to read and here they are tempting me.  I have a weakness for memory loss stories, and this is one of the best ever. ~smooches~

Nicely written.
