You've done an excellent job with this story.  The way you've developed the characters makes it easy to believe that Neville is in love with Hermione.  And, while it's more difficult to accept that Hermione could be in love with Neville, you've made it seem quite plausible.

Great work! 

cute

Thanks for posting this. It's very sweet, and I think that you portrayed Hermione's surprise and Neville's shyness well.

hey Lore, This was very sweet, of course Neville is such a sweetie. Nice job matching the pair

I think that what I like most about this is the fact that it brings up a major point that JKR left out. There were 2 children who could have fulfilled that prophecy, and Moldy Butt was just anal enough to try taking out both just to be certain he got the right one, right?

I like the slow realization, and then acceptance, that crossed through Hermiones emotions, as well as the welcome to a future she gave him before the attack began. Talk about giving the kid a reason to live.

Thanks for sharing.

I loved this story!!!!!

Very sweet... though I would like to read the end of it.

I find it logical that Neville loves Hermione since she had always been kind to him.

Thank you for another lovely fan fic.

Hugs for you!!!!

Thank you for writing such a sweet story for a very rare pairing. One thing which has always confunded me is the fact that many who write this pairing often commented that they can`t actually see Hermione and Neville together (asmost of the time, the story was an exercise in writing something different for them). I take an altogether contrary stance.

From my POV, there is no more suitable person in the HP-verse for Hermione than Neville. He seems to be the only one who has always accepted Hermione for who she is, and he is also the only somewhat prominent male character in the HP world who is at the same time courageous, honest AND nice. His strength of character is simply astounding. Best of all, he mostly brings out Hermione`s best instead of her worst (which is the reason I still can`t fathom the canon-pairing for Hermione).

So, thank you!
