Quirrell unwrapped his turban, and turned slowly on the spot, revealing a second face. It was chalk-white with glaring red eyes and slits for nostrils, like a snake.

“Janus? Are you possessing my professor?” Hermione asked curiously.

“Who?” asked the second face, bewildered at both her calm reaction and the question.

[...]The unblinking stare of Lord Voldemort’s ruby-red eyes would have unnerved many, but Hermione had seen far odder sights in her time interacting with her demonic friends

Good worldbuilding. Original. In character Hermione. Well written.

This was so much fun. It's pretty much what it says in the title, with great worldbuilding and character building.

Through a series of coincidences, accidents, and people making off remarks around her, Hermione Granger, brilliant witch, age 8, starts summoning demons for tea parties, to be her friends. Incidentally, while bloodthirsty and violent, the demons are not exactly pure evil and they're bemused at the little girl, but also charmed.

A neat, fun and not overly long fanfic following Hermione's early childhood and her first year at Hogwarts, with an epilogue telling us what happens in the next six years (the author was busy with other projects and didn't wish to make the story an epice, but decided to give us a summary anyway).

Nice little story with an interesting twist. Sometimes a bit overdone or into an uncomfortable direction, but overall a very interesting story with a bit of worldbuilding and, as we have come to expect from the author, tons of hidden gems a vigilant reader can spot and be delighted about.

The author shared that the story that inspired this is at: http://www.funnyjunk.com/Great+story/...
This is also a nice tear-inducing one.

The only bad thing about this, is that it is so short :(

This had great potential, and the build-up was really great, but it ended up being incredibly rushed. I wanted it longer. It covered all of the first year and then did a brief description of the other years in an epilogue.

I'm honestly really disappointed and a bit angry. I wanted more and was letting unfulfilled. Hopefully, the writer will decide to write the other years.

Interesting premise. Then it kind of fell downhill from there. 2.5

Obsessed with this take of Light and Dark magic

Yes. That is all. And the extra bit at the end about how the rest of her years pan out and the tease for her future was very satisfying.
