I'll admit, I was a little leary of reading this story at first, simply because I was turned off by the initial confrontation between Hermione and Harkness. I've just finished reading the rest of the story (so far), and, while I still don't like the initial conceit, I have to admit liking the story just fine.
As for where they should go; I would personally prefer that they do not go to Hogwarts, simply because I'm personally tired of Snape, Dumbles, Ron and Malfoy's nonsense.

Thank you very much!
What exactly didn't you like about the initial Hermione-Harkness confrontation? I'm truly curious, cos... well, I'd not change what the moving finger has writ, as it were, but it's always good to know more about how folk react to the scenes I put together, for the future, like.
Glad you kept reading, and have liked the story since.
I'm not sure where they're going, yet--I'm a bit tired of Snape, Dumbles, Ron, and Malfoy also, but OTOH Hogwarts does give opportunities for changing things about in interesting ways. Putting them in Ravenclaw and having them actually become friends with Cho and/or Marietta, putting them in Hufflepuff and having them get to know Cedric and Susan Bones and Justin Finch-Fletchley... well, we'll see. Beauxbatons is practically a clean slate, and has plenty of space to fill in, which might also be fun.
