Dear Readers,
Those who are hacked off about the ending – I never promised a "happy ending". I think it's pretty happy that she returned at all, frankly. Also, I made it clear that what Lucius and Hermione had wasn't LOVE. It was LUST and they cared for each other, sure, but the story was about Hermione going back in time, coming back, and the end.
Lucius is in Azkaban. Hermione is a teenage girl. She changed Draco's nappies, so nothing is going to happen there. Narcissa doesn't remember her because of Snape's interference and Snape is dead.
This wasn't a complex story with an arching plot. This was a short story about a girl who fixes an accident that happened with some help and affecting history along the way.
NOT EVERYTHING HAS A HEART & FLOWERS & LOTS OF BABIES ENDING, PEOPLE. Not every story I write will end with Hermione pregnant and the man of her dreams by her side. That's not how literature and real life works.
Sincerely,
Theresa
