The wrapping was a shimmering blue paper that reflected in the light. Hermione tore through the paper to reveal a sturdy black box. She carefully pried open the lid, and a gasp escaped her lips. With a shaking hand, she pulled out a long feather quill that had been dyed a very deep blue. … The quill scratched over the parchment as an invisible hand began to write. It wrote a single line, then stopped in place. ‘Took you long enough. Is this the first time you’ve tried to use it?’ She recognized that tight, angular script. ‘Malfoy?’ … Hermione paused, and her eyes rested on Malfoy’s note from last night: ‘Why do you clutch at your arm every time you see me?’ Words jumbled around in her mind until slowly, deliberately, she wrote back: ‘My scars haven’t faded yet.’
A unique idea with the quills. Also a realistic plot of after the war and the truama. The misunderstandings got a bit annoying but they worked it out. I loved the character development. The last chapter was absolutely heartwarming. Also read the bonus chapters. A fun insight to the other characters.
There was nothing super special about this fic, but it was good and a light read. One thing that I think could have been improved was the climax at the end, because it didn’t feel that impactful. However, the relationship built up and the dynamic between them was one of the better ones I’ve read about.
When Ernie “apologised” in front of the whole class and outed them as a couple, I legit gasped. That was good. Also, even though she was a little much at some points, I loved ginny and how supportive and understanding she was.
at times it really felt like they were behaving like 15 yrsold in their first relationship but I think it's pretty realistic considering that the war took their teenage years. soo many petty problems. i think I would've adored this fic if I read it a couple years ago but rn it felt a little bit childish, as in, innocent love? really great story tho!
It was a pretty enjoyable book. The author was a good writer and the story didn’t feel rushed. I felt like there were too many “misunderstandings” though. If I never hear “it’s not like that” again it’ll be too soon. Other than that it was good, the spice was well paced and tasteful and you could get along with the characters.
“for months, maybe years, her life had been one drama after the next. the fact that anything could just be normal for once was unimaginable to her. yet, here it was.” this was cute.
I absolutely loved the concept of this fic! I've never read a fic in which they've communicated through magical quills and I loved it:) It was a nice way of combining the magical world with aspects of modern technology. I would love to read more fics that incorporate this.
