I have wondered what had happened to magical children who didn't go to Hogwarts and Hermione's alternate reality paints a bleak story. A magical life amongst muggles must be very painful for all around. 

Is this truly where you intend to leave this story?  It's a wonderful beginning, and I'm so curious about how she discovers Hogwarts, or Hogwarts finds her.  Please continue!  I would be thankful to read more. 

Wow. What an interesting AU to delve into. I wonder how things would have turned out for Harry without having Hermione around? And I have to agree with her mother, someone more diplomatic than Snape might have been a better choice, even if he did have Muggle father.

Ooooh, interesting premise!  I can't wait to see how this unfolds!

Oh, I am so sorry I missed this during the Exchange, but so glad it's popped up now for me to enjoy.

I really like Hermione's mum. I would think (and it's glossed over in th books) that any family with a magical child would need a significant amount of convincing that magic is real, and Carolyn's reaction is what I would consider typical, rather than abnormal.

I love her rapidly used excuses on telekinesis and other paranormal phenomena, and I'm really looking forward to see how Hermione's search goes. :)

I think this is a great start to a different take on the SS/HG ship. Interested to see where things go from here and just how long it takes Hermione to track down Snape. 

I really like this idea. And I don't think it is unrealistic that muggle parents balk at the idea of having magic offspring.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story!

Ooh what a clever premise.  As it is 2001 I am eager to see the whole 'Voldy thing' went.  Well come along then, where's the next chappie??? 

So Hermione never went to Hogwarts, and is now looking for the only magical person she has ever met. Cant' wait to see what happens when she finds him, should be fun. 

I really like how your stories straddle the magical and muggle worlds! And your Hermione seems so very in-character even though she has taken such a different path in life. I look forward to the next chapters.

Looks like you're off and running! Great start - don't slow down! :)

promising start, looking forward to more

Interesting.. So if she never went to Hogwarts, how did Harry and Ron fare during their years there? Hmm. Interested to see more of this one, soon hopefully! :)

Interesting start!  Can't wait for an update!
