Damn Shiv, what has Ron done to piss you off!!! Very good look into things that do happen to some people though. Loved the note at the bottom - ya had me goin' there for a while. Besides, Ron and Harry are destined to be a couple! *LOL*
OMG!!!! Thank all the powers that be for the author's note at the end... this is horrifying!
Good enough writing, but why do so many people think Ron will end up being a git?
...And then she woke up - with class. A lovely, bitter and actually rather horridly realistic little tale. "Ron pointed out that it was quite common in magical families. Molly had often taken the back of a wooden spoon to him and it hadn’t done him any harm."
Nice way to end it, in fact, I loved it. you really must hate Ron though.... Well, good job anyway!
just because you don't like this pairing doesn't mean you should ruin it for others! Besides, Hermione is not a brainless git who doesn't stand up for her own rights. Ron is not a self-centered, chauvinistic son of a...well you know. AND MOLLY is NOT the epitome of the polar opposite of a feminist. You're not living in the 1800s and in a sense, you are degrading women. If this review is rude, I'm sorry. I'm probably blindsighted by the fact that I totally cannot stand for anything other than a Ron/Hermione. Well maybe a Ron/Luna....Nah. anyway, I apologize for being impolite, but this is how I feel.
I can only think of one way this story could be better: If it ended with the sentence, 'And then she woke up screaming, and scared Severus.' And you know? I can see parts of this actually happening if they were to get together. But I think that Hermione would have left after a while...
And this is why I stamp on all RW/HG shippers. the An summed up what I thought :~D
Loved it for the end-note :-D
I can't even tell you how perfect it is that you have "Torture" listed as the warning!!
Chauvanist Pig! Ron and Lobotomized, Doormat! Hermione. What a lovely couple. Scary, Shiv.
I'll say only one thing: THAT IS HORROR!!!!! brrr...I must get rid of this image from my mind... *shudders violently* ...Thanks for the lovely ending a/n- I would surely have nightmares today if it were not there :)
... ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! No, really. That *was* scary to me, I think it's the worst thing possible to happen to a woman. "Nightmare" is a *very* good title for this one- it's a truly horrific vision of what their life together would be like. But the AN made it all better, and it did sum up an awful lot of fics out there :D Ugh, that version of Hermione's future really does make my flesh creep though.
What dreadful image of Hermione's life! I like the A/N. I woulnd't sell the children... I would've sent them to Molly... after all she is as guilty as Ron of their behavior. An afterthought: I'm dreading this would be JKR way of thoughts... Hermione becaming the next Molly. Let's hope Hermione doesn't allow that to happen to her.
Beautiful. Love the feminist A/N. I want to lynch Ron, lol, but haven't I always?
*shudders* The horror.... The horror.... Like the author's note, though.
Ha! Was depressed (which means the story worked effectively) until the final A/N made it all better. I suspect that this Hermione would never end up with Severus, though.
Thank Merlin for the ending! The "strong woman" advocate in me wanted to kick Hermione's behind . Lovely, as usual - thanks for the perspective :)
Eeeeeh, Shiv, that's horrific!!! It's also *vastly* unfair on Ron, you know. But I quite understand the vibe that made you write it ... Still *shudders*
