That's crazy! I wanted to hit Ron over the head with a pan! lol You know for a wizard who is suppose to be so accepting of muggles, Ron sure seems to put muggles ways and traditions downquite a bit. :-) I think he is less tolerant of muggles than he lets on. Hermione shouldn't have to give up so much and I'm glad she has a backbone about it. Nice work, can't wait for the next chapter!

Thanks for all your recent comments. You seem to comprehend exactly what I'm going for with the story, so I really appreciate hearing that from you! I look forward to your thoughts on who the assailant turns out to be. It may need better foreshadowing. I'm willing to add on to a previous chapter, as I did before, based on your feedback.
Thank you!

"...You've already reached your full potential as a witch." Wow - at 18 or 19? What a sad commentary on Wizarding aptitude - or at least on Ron's belief in said aptitude! Actually I am really enjoying this story and have been wondering how long it would take Hermione to realize that she and Ron are not compatible.

I'm glad you're enjoying the story. It ended up taking Hermione longer than I expected to break-up with Ron (if that makes any sense for the author to say).
The one thing that always surprised me about the HP series was the complete lack of reference to higher education. Wizards live to be hundreds of years old, but they seem to end their formal education at age 17, unless you count training programs and apprenticeships.
Thanks for reading and reviewing the story!
