mrsquizzical, maple_mahogany and magnolialane all recommended I read this story.

I was going to wait and comment until I was finished reading the entire fic, but I can't.

This is absolutely brilliant. The plot grabs me, the characterizations of the trio are dead-on accurate and the dialogue is first rate.

The depth of Ron and Hermoine's love for each other is beautifully written.

The intensity of Harry and Ron's friendship is awesome. Absolutely awesome. No, this is not slash, it doesn't have to be. This is canon. JKR canon. Their relationship goes beyond friendship, goes beyond family in some ways to. They know it and they are comfortable with it.

Using the "seal" icon would be inappropriate here because it's not slash, but this sure is a superior piece.

And who created the beautiful artwork of their boxer-shorts conversation? Its - WOW!

OMG, thank you!

This is the only plotty fic I have ever done, and the whole Horcrux thing drove me completely insane!

Yes, even in a Ron/Hermione, the Harry/Ron friendship is the most important thing, to me.

This is how I see them in the books, yes.

This is my third read through and I have to say if Book 7 doesn't follow this way I may be truely disappointed!

Yeah, it would be nice if JKR went this direction. In my heart of hearts, I wish that she would put Harry and Ron together of course, but she won't so this is the next best alternative. The deepest possible friendship between the two.

Wow, this is going great, and I'll leave a longer review at the end, but were you by any chance channeling JKR when you wrote this?

You know, the more that I read this, the more that I can see book seven in this...

You're not JKR in disguise, are you?

It's uncanny how closely this scene resembles the one in DH. More psychic points for you!
