Reviews for Hermione's Best Birthday Present
Very nice, thank you.
I really enjoyed this. It was a really nice AU, and I liked that Hermione ended up with Viktor here -- and I liked her best present, too. And the children were a nice natural addition to the story without being too precious.

Thanks so much foir reading and reviewing. I always preferred her with Viktor. Ron never brought much to the books except fopr his Wizard Chess ability in the first book and the fling with Lavender in the sixth book. He just seemed like he was taking up space rather than adding anything to help Harry. Appreciate youre review a lot.
Nice, thank you.

Thanks for reading & reviewing. I had to see if I could write a story that wasn't bashing Ron. It worked out fairly well because he did he see had been wrong for her.
Another lovely Viktor/Hermione story from the undisputed queen of such stories! And though I've never read it before, I really do like the idea of a Charlie/Luna pairing. They kinda fit, in a delightfully odd kind of way. By the way, I thought having the dragon Viktor faced in the tournament being the one to locate him and Ron was an inspired twist. Well done!

I had just read a Charlie/Luna fic when I wrote this. The Dragon as bloodhound idea came with the odd pairing. I adore Luna. She is just so 60s hippie chick kind of girl. And she works so well with everyone from Sirius to Draco. But not Ron. I don't think anyone works with Ron, not even Lavender. Maybe Millicent? Anyway, thanks for reading & reviewing. Blue Artemis and I paired on a story that is being put on TPP under the author name ViktorsVixens. Watch for it. It is HG/VK and HP/GW/DM.
Thank goodness it was a Victor partner story and not a Ron one. I really think JKR got it wrong there. BUT I would have kicked Victor's posterior if he had made me wait to know he was alive even if he wanted to surprise me on my birthday. :)

He knew she would forgive him since he had done the one thing she had asked for the entire time they were married. I always liked Viktor as her only love rather than Ron. I guess it is the difference between maturity and infantile behavior. Thanks for reading & reviewing.
Aww! That's so sweet! I like the way Ron gets a chance to grow up in this one. I also love the way Hermione and Viktor show their love for each other in so many little ways that add up to big romance.

Just wanted to show some folks that I CAN write a story without bashing poor old Ron. Thanks for reading & reviewing.
Very sweet story. I prefer Hermione with Viktor over Ron so I really enjoyed it. Ron redeemed himself but I give most of the credit to Viktor :). Interesting combination of Charlie and Luna also. I haven't come across that before.
Response from kyriaofdelphi (Author of Hermione's Best Birthday Present)
Thanks for reading and reviewing. I used Charlie and Luna because I needed Luna's otherworldly intuition to get Charlie to use the Dragon from the Triwizard Tournament to find Viktor. Trust me, it made sense at the time. I write mostly HG/VK stuff. Blue Artemis and I have a joint account, ViktorsVixens, on TPP and FFN where we are posting a collaborative story. It is VK/Hg and has a new trio Draco, Ginny, and Harry. Please feel free to read and comment on any of my other stories. There are a few Charlie/Luna stories out there.
This is so sweet!! I love it!

Aren't you proud of me? I actually wrote a story where I didn't bash Ron. This just had to be written. It shows Ron in a much better light than usual. Thanks for reading & reviewing.

Yes I'm proud of you! I don't necessary agree with being friendly with Ron but I'm proud of you!

Thank you for reading and reviewing. I appreciate your comments.
That was really lovely. I like that Ron was redeemable here. (i don't always want to bash him to death).
Response from kyriaofdelphi (Author of Hermione's Best Birthday Present)
I posted it here to show folks I DON'T always bash Ron, and that he can be redeemed. Thanks for reading & reviewing.
