Hello! I'm here after reviewing the prequel!

 

I know I didn't mention it with Our July, but I love how this is formatted, with the timings - I'm a sucker for additional data and small details like knowing exactly when stuff happened.

 

I really like how Hermione and Ginny have this strained relationship following Hermione's split from Ron. From the people they are, it feels relistic to me that they'd still try to keep a friendship of sorts going, but that it would naturally be incredibly difficult.

 

Hermione calling Rose her Valentine had my whole entire heart. And her interactions with Crookshanks, the one truest love of them all.

 

I think Hermione/Krum is one of those pairings that I never read much of but absolutely love. She clearly said yes to going to the Yule Ball with him for a reason, and seeing fics explore that relationship is an ultimate great time for me. 

 

The scene of sharing the pictures is so wonderful. 

 

I love how "playing connect-the-dots with an impossible constellation of moments" in the 3:47pm scene to the ending of the 5:20pm scene "crumpling our constellation of pictures". I love how they spend this whole evening reminiscing with pictures and reconnecting and catching each other up to the present day with this dots and connections. Hermione falling to the floor and scattering the pictures, the dots that they'd spent the evening connecting, breaks the connection... my HEART. It's beautiful, it kind of breaks my heart, and I also totally feel it and understand it. 

 

I also really love how this has ended on that open note. Simply lovely!
