  I've read a lot of fanfics, and after a while they do seem to start blending into each other.
  
  This story reads well, and has managed to take a fairly popular scene and do some new things with it. If you can keep this up then you'll have an excellent story. Well done & thanks for writing!

  Nice first chapter. Good emotions and you made the bond seem genuinely accidental, because what Hermione did and said felt very natural. Nice job.

  Author's response

  Thank you! That was my biggest worry. I didn't want this story to turn out like all the other bonding stories where they kiss and are bonded and totally wuv each other, but I didn't want Hermione to start spewing words that even she won't understand the meaning of. If that makes sense. Basically, I'm glad it came off naturally like I had intended. =)

  Excellent start to what promised to be a fascinating story. You made everything feel quite natural (that you cut Ron out of the rescue and left all the blame to fall on him doesn't hurt, Albus will not be happy). It should be quite fascinating to see how this comparatively small change affects the unfolding of events.

  Author's response

  Thank you! I can understand why he was included in rescuing Hermione in canon, but at the same time, he really is the reason why Hermione's there in the first place. The way I see it, if he hadn't known about the troll, there's no way he would've gone looking for her. Not only that, even in canon he seemed really reluctant to rescue Hermione. So, while he'll be friends with them still, it's going to take a bit longer and some actual bonding time to develop a meaningful relationship between the trio.
  
  As for Albus, he won't be bashed. Yeah, he can be a manipulative bastard, but I think he can achieve his goal of peace for the Wizarding world and, ultimately, the final demise of Voldemort without being such a chess master. So, yeah, I'm going to try it that way. =)

  okay great story but I hope hermione didnt drain herself of all her magic with that vow and her kiss, I sincerily hope this story has them both recovering with a soul bond or something, they both need and deserve that kind of a bond.

  Author's response

  No, she didn't drain herself of her magic. You'll find out exactly what happened next chapter. =)

  Yes, I agree with the others, this is a great story, with lot of promise. You have already achieved a few smal victories. Quirrel gone. Voldemort baneshed (to where?, in canon he stayed away til fourth year). Harry starting to think for himself (in canon Harry followed to much Ron's lead). I hope this independent streak wil grow. And last but not least, starting a bond with Hermione, witch wil only do the both of them good. I'm curious how you wil portray Ron and Dumbledore. Canon-Ron seems to much of a leech to me. Feeding of Harry's fame, and Hermione's knowledge. And canon-Dumbledore seems to be responsible for most of Harry's drama. I'm looking forward for the next chapter.

  Author's response

  Thank you! I'm glad you like it so far.
  
  While Quirrell is gone, Voldemort isn't. True, he stays away until fourth year in canon, but that's after he knows that the stone is unattainable. So, in my opinion, he would still attempt to go after the stone as it is currently the easiest way to attain immortality (and a body).
  
  As for Harry's independent streak, it will grow, but with time. He's still basically in a new world learning things as he goes, and it isn't easy to erase about eleven years of neglect and mistreatment. Harry has to grow in regards to independence gradually, and I believe that is why he followed Ron's lead so much. At this age, he isn't concerned with being independent and sure that he knows what's best for him. He's just a lonely, neglected child trying to fit into a world that put him on too high a pedastal.
  
  In regards to Ron and Dumbledore, that's a bit of a challenge. I won't be bashing any because that's just childish and immature. Rather, I believe the more violent troll sequence will be the catalyst that changes a good many things. For one, I believe it will help Ron mature. Not by much because he is, after all, still eleven. However, he will mature enough to not be such an envious prat later on. As for how the troll scene causes Dumbledore to react, he will be less manipulative. There will, of course, be more to Dumbledore's change of heart, but that will be explained in a later chapter.
  
  Again, thank you very much for the review. =)

  Very nice twist on a famous scene. With your description of Snape paling at the sight of a bloody Harry I assume you have something new in the works for him. The way you set the bond up seems to me that even if he didn't want it Harry will be the one in the driver's seat. Between Hermione being the one who owes and her offer of anything I can't see this being a bonding of equals. Hope you are able to update soon.

  Author's response

  Thank you!
  
  You are indeed correct about your assumption regarding Snape. I have plans for our favorite Potions Master.
  
  I explain more about the bond in the second chapter, so hold on just a bit longer and see what I have in store for this bond between Harry and Hermione. =D
