You did a wonderful job with this fic. I'm not generally one for H/Hr, but I could definitely see this happening in the novels. I especially loved the part where Hermione remained silent in order to let Harry pour out his heart.
Author's Response:
Heh, thanks. Actually I pretty much hate Harry/Hermione as well, but I wrote this as a sort of "way to get around canon" for a friend who loves the pairing. I'm glad it turned out okay.
