Everything you do is worth updating. This is fun, though I think Ron's being a bit of an idiot [that's more than usual]. I think updates ought to address where R/Hr went completely off the rails after things were looking up towards the end of HBP. Not to mention good honest fluff, Harry showing where he OUGHT to stand in the Auror Corps by kicking Neville's arse [not out of malice, just to prove he can] and anything else you can think of. KUTGW, hope to see updates soon.

I like it. I would like to see a story line develope from this. A new way to start a Harry/Hermione story. Maybe with a happy ending. And since Hermione & Ron didn't make it, why not? I challenge you to make something of this! Thanks for writing.

Hmm, interesting! I don't think I've seen anything really like this situation before. Only Hermione would disguise courting as lessons! ;-) I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more of this.

Dear lord, Potter not good at EVERYTHING???

This is a good start, keep it going!

I loved the Luna and Ron start, and cant wait to see what you do with Hermy and Harry.

I like how you have written Hermione in this one. Good fic. hopefuly you get the urge to complete it one day.

Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun to read more. It seems like one of those fun, silly stories with not much need for drama.

Cute! I really liked this little chapter - being a delusional H/Hr shipper. I've seen a few stories liek this, but this one was fun to read. It did not seem at all contrived, like most of the other "kissing lessons" stories seem to me. Like I said, good work. Would like to see an update, if you have the time or inclination!

Nicely paced and a very good take on this subject. B+

It sounds like a good beginning, and I'd like to see more, if you have the time. It has the potential to have some really comedic scenes.

this is a definate interesting start to a story. look forward as to where you are going with this.

I personally would like to see you continue this one. I love the clueless!Harry in this one, not wuite aware that he's about to discover that when Hermione sets her sights on something (or someone), she gets it.

And eventually, so will he. *smirk* (After they're married, of course.)

I think it is a good start but one question how old are they here? I would like to see ware you take this.

Wonderful! Just the right note of sweetness! Somehow I suspect Hermione isn't going to let Harry try out her lessons on any other girl.

I liked it. I liked the idea of hermoine and harry its more realistic in my view of the harry potterverse.

Cute. :-)

Heh, I know I for one wouldn't mind seeing more of this. Sometimes it's nice to have a touch of something lighter to go with "Ties of Blood" and "Sunrise".

A most wonderful beginning. I would like to see this ride to the end. Update soon

Oh, you left us hanging! I want to read about the kissing lessons!

Sebastian Palm posted a comment on Friday 3rd March 2006 7:56am

This was a funny little thing - made me laugh, at least. Some nitpicking is in order, though:

The auror program, as Tonks states in OOTP (IIRC - at least it's so commonly used that I'm having trouble remembering any different), is three years, not one and a half. Second. you need to check your numbers on the whole class ranking thing - as it stands, you're more or less stating that *at least* 1/3 of Harry's graduate class became aurors, and that's if Harry finished last of those who graduated...

Still fun, though.

Mr.Intel replied:

Actually, it was McGonagall in chapter 29: "Well, you'll need to demonstrate the ability to react well to pressure and so forth,' said Professor McGonagall, 'perseverance and dedication, because Auror training takes a further three years, not to mention very high skills in practical Defence."

Since the war, they halved the time to get more recruits into the program. As for the graduating class thing, I was referring to finishing the Auror program, not Hogwarts. There's nothing firm about Auror candidates being required to have recently graduated from Hogwarts, so Harry and Ron's class could have included older wizards and witches. Sorry for the confusion, though! :D

Considering how much I've enjoyed every other thing you've written, it would be a shame in my opinion for you to not take this further. Possibilities are there for a good short story - go for it!!
