A bit of a strange twist in my opinion.
I read the entire story and it was a nice read, I just can't really understand why Hermione chooses Harry or why Harry would take her back.
While Harry was under potions, Hermione was not. Which means Harry had no choice the past X years. Hermione did have a choice and she chose for Ron to live her life with.
Then when Harry is suddenly available again (the means don't matter) she just changes to Harry again? That just made Ron 2nd rated, included the children she has with them.
Harry shouldn't have even accepted her back, she made her own choice long ago. If she was being dosed as well then fine, but that wasn't the case...
Anyway, nice read and thanks for posting it.

Dammit! I hate it when people shoot holes in my logic!

Really, in a way she was being manipulated...perhaps after her plan succeeded Ginny slipped Hermione a potion for a nudge, and maybe a nudge was all that was needed...
I better write that down.
