Oooh!  Evil cliffie!!  I'm sorry I missed this when it posted recently, nag!  I really enjoyed the confrontation with Flint and Parkinson - your characterisations are spot on... and what is going on with Sirius at the end?  I'm reading on! Pxx

Finally, for the final chapter, I find myself at a computer instead of a phone!  I enjoyed the ending, and I think that this story was strong the whole way through.  I like when someone develops secondary characters from the books into important characters in fanfic.  There is so much you can do with them that doesn't really go against canon, because we simply don't have that much to go on.  I thought you did a nice job showing that with Flint and Parkinson.Speaking of Flint, he was sufficiently creepy during his confession.  And even more scary than say, Voldemort, because with that villain, you at least know where you stand.  With Flint, he is just a normal(ish) guy on the exterior, but on the inside he is super insane.  I like Parkinson's involvement in terms of Flint's motivation.  I mean, it is one fucked up love story, but it made things all the more creepy.In the end, I'm glad she stayed.  I thought she would, but there was a small part of me that was worried, right up until she agreed.  It seems like everyone wins, especially when you consider that this universe's Hermione is now reacquainted with Ron.  Although, I hope that he is the same(ish) Ron from this universe.  I mean, imagine if she just lost this Ron who was this super catch, only to get her dream of being reunited with him, only to find him unemployed, with a beer belly and receding hairline, lol.  Anyway, I think I said before that there is a dynamic between Sirius and Hermione that I really like, and I think you've done a nice job capturing that here.  Maybe you'll be inspired to write them again.  *nudge, nudge*I'm sure a ton of people have read and enjoyed your story, so it is really disappointing to me that more people didn't review.  That is just the way of things, I suppose.  I find myself in school for the gazillionth time (why can't I decide what I want to be when I grow up?!), so I have been pretty much away for the last year and a half.  But when I am done in May, I may have to channel my inner Hermione and start a one woman revolution to make people review, dammit!  I just think it is a shame that authors put so much blood, sweat, and tears into the craft, only to get minimal appreciation.  And for that matter, not enough authors respond to reviews *climbs down off of soapbox*At any rate, I've enjoyed reading this, and enjoyed your responses as I've gone along.  I hope you have more in the works, and I am sure you have some already published that I haven't read.  I'd like to be able to eventually say that I've read every story on this site, but they just keep coming!  Yay!

Good grief!  I sort of expected that Kingsley and Harry would save the day, but then I kept waiting and waiting.  After awhile I sort of decided that maybe they weren't coming, and the skies would open up and out would pop some sort of super Hermione and Sirius.  Like all badass black leather clothed, or maybe like knights in shining armor, or maybe even capes and tights.  Okay, I didn't quite consider it in so much detail, but it sounds cool, at any rate. So glad they are safe!  Will they stay?  Go back to their own time?  Go back to her time together?  Off to find out!

This chapter was really intense.  It seemed to me that we had acquired a new Parkinson, from the way she was acting, but then we have a new Flint too?  Hermione's Flint?  I get the feeling Sirius knows more than he is letting on to Hermione.  Or maybe he just has had a bit more time in this universe.  Still, he and Kingsley, and even Harry seem to be in on something that Hermione has been left out of.  And, just how much does Harry know?  I love stories that continue to make me question everything!  Even if it is from an author who won't spill any secrets before I have the chance to read on. *whines and pouts* :)

While I was seriously cheering for them to hook up, I had hoped that they both realized this was for fun and comfort in the short-term.  Damn emotional entanglements!  I'm with Hermione on the practical, logical aspect of things, but still, I can't help wonder if there is any truth to Sirius' thoughts on what's meant to be.  He certainly brings up a good point in questioning what she had to go back to.  But, if he thinks she will ever give up on answers, then he doesn't know her at all.  And, just what is Mr. reckless planning here at the end?

Whew!  I was a little concerned when he ran away from her at first, but apparently he just needed to wrestle some inner demons.  Good for Hermione for knowing to give him some room and some support before flinging him into bed.  Must have worked because damn, that man was on fire *fans self*

It's good that they have a direction to take their research, but it seems there are still so many unanswered questions.  How very frustrating!  As for me, time travel always blows my mind, so when we start talking about parallel universes, I'm in real trouble. Are there other sets of Sirius/Hermiones who are also working on answers?  Does each person only jump once, or could these two potentially get lost again?  If the mystery is solved in one universe, does it right all of them?  Are Flint and Parkinson bad in every universe, or is only one set of them controlling things?   You're hurting my head, but I'm loving every minute!

Boy, you are lucky this is complete!  If I had to wait to see what happens, there'd be a bit of trouble, you know?  :) I hope she really does remember so they have a little more to go on in figuring out the mystery.  It must really throw Hermione off kilter to have Kreacher not only be helpful and respect her wishes, but truly treat her as though she is his mistress.  Never would have happened in her universe.

You're killing me here!  Flint and Parkinson seem to clearly be up to no good.  But on the other hand, it could just be that they are pretentious, power hungry  pure blood types, and it's making them seem suspicious to us.  If they are bad news, is Kingsley completely oblivious, or is this part of a bigger plan?  I, for one, think she should show him what she found, so they can get back to that elevator business.  ;)

Ugh!  Flint is such a shady character, but then there is a chance that he isn't.  What the heck is going on?!  We just don't know enough.  I don't know how Sirius and Hermione can pull off being other versions of themselves, but kudos to them for doing so.  I kind of like this protective Sirius, too.  I have no idea if I think they will get back to their own times, or if they will end up having to settle in this one.

Well, yes, being dead is a bit of a mood killer, lol.  How confusing for them to be dealing with people from three different universes.  It would be a little creepy for Hermione, knowing that he has feelings for her, but not really her.  And, for him to have one Hermione who has feelings for him, one who hates him, and one who is in awe that he is alive at all.  How are they possibly going to get out of this mess?  How many universes are there, and have they all been affected?  This seems so impossible for them!

I have to tell you, I have no idea what's going on here, and I mean that in a good way.  There is also not enough Sirius/Hermione fic if you ask me. I don't care if they are friends, colleagues, or lovers, there is kind of a nice dynamic between them.  Although something about the chapter leaves me feeling unsettled on her behalf.  Off to get some answers!
