I'm not surprised that Hermione's one of the girls who wants Harry. It's always the quiet ones, as the saying goes. Though I must add that this is the first story I've ever read where Fawkes can become has a human form. As well as a close link to the Veela of France. I can well imagine all the hanky-panky that's going to go on in Hogwarts from now on. Of course the ol' brainless bearded wonder blunder isn't going to like Harry having even one girlfriend, never mind several! The ol' brainless bearded wonder blunder does seem determined to keep Harry as depressed as possible. I mean, sending him back to Durskaban every summer. Always for different lengths of time each year. Then forbidding him ANY contact with ANY of his school friends. Thus I call the ol' brainless bearded wonder blunder a Dark Lord masquerading as the leader of the light. Regardless of that fact this is a very interesting story and I totally enjoyed reading it. So, thanks for writing and post it.
