COME ON!! Why must you be so cruel?? I do like the story, but it's so sad. Yet, it keeps you coming back for more. Horrible, yet awesome story. Not much else to say. 9/10

Author's Response: Yes, I am a bit mean. I don't think it will ever happen in canon. Ever. Ron wouldn't never do that, so that's why it was so fun to write :)

Thanks very much for your review :)

WOW...RON FOLLOWED VOLDEMORT?


Author's Response: Yes indeedy. Thanks for reading!

Wow...definitely didn't see that comingthe first time around. Although, when I look back after reading the end, I do see some hints you threw in. Good job!

Author's Response: Thanks very much for the kind review. I'm glad you picked up on them, even if it was the second time around.

Good, but now I really have to read something funny because I've just read 3 really sad stories and I am now vrying... hystericly and it's hard for me to give authors (like you) the credit they deserve when you're crying on your keyboard.

Author's Response: Lol, if you are searching for something funny next time you are in a similar situation, check out "My Story" by elanna riddle in my fave stories, I love it! Thanks so much for reviewing, I really appreciate. Just to warn you, going from my reviews, I think that this is my least saddest story, so grab a couple of Kleenex next time you read one of my fics. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review =D

OMG!!!! That was soo sad, I can't believe it!!!!! lol, I loved it!!!!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! Glad you liked it :)

Nicely done. Once again, quite dramatic and filled with nail biting drama. I like that you took things out of the norm and had the switching of sides that you did here. It was a refreshing change and you pulled it off well. Hermione's character was done well and even with her changes and missing out on so many years, you were able to give her a well rounded characterization even taking into account the years she'd missed. Again, very nicely done!

Author's Response: I know, drama, drama, drama! I'm glad you understood my characterization of Hermione, as many people thought her to be OOC. Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a pleasant reivew :)

What a twist! That was a new perception on the War, and an interesting point of view. I like how little tidbits are foreshadowed throughout the story, and then it hits you at the very end. Your word choice was excellent, and all the grammatical stuff was sound. At first, I thought it would just be an odd story, with the waking up and all, but it turned out to be so much more. The twist was so surprising, I couldn't imagine Ron being a DE.

Author's Response: Lol, thanks! Only one person has actually guessed it so far (can't remember who though, lol)

I'm glad someone picked up on the foreshadowing, because I didn't *sheepish* I just wrote it, and then I looked up the definition of foreshadowing after there was a topic on it in the forums.

When I wrote the story, I could really imagine Ron being a death eater, but now as I've read more fanfics and read the books over with new perceptions, I can only see with him as loveable and loyal ol' Ron. I'll keep the story though because the twist is so fun. Thanks for the wonderful review =D

Wow! Interesting twist. Will u make a prequel? I wanna know why Ron turned evil.

Author's Response: Thank you for reading and reviewing! I think if I wrote a prequel, it would take all the fun (fun for me anyway :P) out of Waking to a Nightmare. I like how some people are shocked with the twist, and then they think about the story after they read it, because they are imagining why Ron turned evil. Sorry to disappoint you. Thanks again for the feedback =D

what!?!?!?!?!? omg! you cant do that! what happened? i liked it except i really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want to know what happened with ron.

Author's Response: LMAO! Oh, I can do that, and I did *evil grin* I guess you'll just have to use your imagination...

I'll start with grammar simply because it's the easiest to talk about. I did notice a few mistakes here and there, but nothing that really took away from your writing. An occasional comma splice isn't that bad. Try going back and reading some of your longer sentences. You'd be surprised at how quickly errors become clear when they are read out loud.

Now to the plot. The beginning is kind of weak and a bit cliche. Woman wakes up in a hospital three to four years after a traumatic event and finds that almost everyone she loves has died/ left her.

As the story goes on, you managed to make it more unique by introducing the idea of Hermione killing Ron, and then finished off most of my doubts with your ending. (Which was, by the way, very well done.)

Still, I couldn't shake the feeling of skepticism. We were left with so many unanswered questions. Why would Ron become a Death Eater? How could Hermione kill anyone, especially someone who had been her friend?

I'll sum this up. I think you are an incredibly talented writer. However, your chosen plot does not do this writing style as much justice as it could.

Author's Response: Hello. My complex sentences again! I will try to fix them up, but since I've written them for so long I'm may not be able to recognise better alternatives, if so, I'll send it along to my beta for her to look at. It is dreadfully cliché *grimace* however, I thought of the ending and I wanted to write it so much, and that was the only way I could think of making the plot work. The reason I didn't explore why Ron became a Death Eater was because I wanted to make the readers wonder long after they read the story. I guess it didn't exactly work :P Anyway, thank so much for reading and reviewing both of my stories =D

*stares at computer with mouth opened in shock* Whoa, never saw that coming....Wow. This was a very powerful story. I really enjoyed it. Like I said in my last review to your other story, you are a great author! Please write more one-shots! You write wonderful (yet sad...lol) stories. Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing and for all the wonderful comments :D

Author's Response: Whoops! Forgot to mention, I am nearly finished a one-shot but I don't know when I can finish it because I have two assignments and a writing task to finish for school in two weeks *groans* But I'll let you know when I've posted it so you can keep your eye out for it.

Well another great story. Not as powerful as your other story, but still amazing. What I really admire from your stories is that you use so much detail and you continue to use it throughout the story. I know that sometimes authors have the pictures already in their heads and sometimes forget to go into detail aka me. Lol. I also love your dialouge. I spend hours trying to get them to say the right thing at the right time and here you are just writing down the perfect conversations! I also admire your ability to twist the characters into however you want them to act. Even though you take them out of character, there is still that connection to the canon that makes them seem more alive and believeable (spelling I know) I did find a few grammar mistakes here and there, but nothing to major. Besides after the first few sentences your sucked into the story and don't really care if there's a misspelled word or a comma missing. I understand that you're busy, as am I and practically the whole world, but keep on writing because I need more good stories to read! Haha. Thanks for another great read!

Author's Response: Hey, thanks for reading and reviewing! I'm happy you like how I choke my stories of details, a lot of people seem to dislike that. Your writing is fantastic, and when I read your stories, I don't notice the lack of detail which you say is there, so most likely I'm either sucked into the story, or your detail is well-placed, and I didn't realise.

You love my dialogue? That means so much because I've always thought dialogue was my weak point (which I always thought should be my best because I talk so much!)

I know that my characters seem really OOC at times, especially Ginny in this story, but since both my stories are post-war, I always try to imagine what the character has gone through, and what their behaviour might be like as a result.

Ah...my bad grammar. Not the greatest asset for a wannabe writer, at least it isn't really bad...the wonders of spellcheck.

I am in the process of writing another one-shot, but I've just gotten two assignments in the last two days, so I'm not sure when it would be finished, could be a couple of weeks, could be a couple of months. I'll let you know when it's posted. Thanks again for reading and leaving an awesome review!

I didn't review this before? Gah. This was a wonderful story, I loved the way your language flowed together, and the fact you could almost feel Hermione's pain and confusion. The realization crept when I learned she killed Ron, but it was like I was with the character, hoping that my suspicoun wasn't true. It was great, a true story. In my favorites it'll stay. If I did already review, well, this story deserves many reviews anyway.

Author's Response: Oooh! You've just made my night complete! I just had an heaps fun dinner with workmates, and I come home to find such a fantastic review! Thank you! I'm so happy you liked it, langauge, pain and confusion and all. WHOO! This is going on your faves??!!! That is so awesome, thank you! *jumps up and down with excitement* Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a great review!!!!

p.s. No, I'm not drunk, this is me normally. Lol!

Wow. The ending was really surprising. I was wondering what Hermione was doing for killing Ron, and then I found she had the right intentions after all, which made it so. . . oddly perfect. Good story!

Author's Response: Hey, thanks for reviewing both my stories!*bows in gratitude, then blushes at doing something so lame* I'm happy you thought it was a surprising ending, and that you enjoyed it so much. Thanks again :-)

oopsies. lol are you going to make a sequal. or have you already? (i wouldn't know)

Author's Response: Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. I don't plan to write a sequel, only because I have a lot of ideas, and I have no idea on what I could write in a sequel. Thanks again :)

When I read that she had killed him, I knew that he had turned to follow the Dark Lord. I actually predicted the ending - I'm very proud of myself. I'm actually currently making the plotline for a story where Ron goes evil. It's not all that hard to imagine for me...but that's just me, of course. This story was very well-written; you have a lovely writing style that just seems to flow. You're very descriptive and exact in every detail that you write, and I like that. However, this story did not stir any deep emotion in me. I thought that it was fairly cold, and that Hermione's emotions weren't conveyed as well as they could have (how alone she felt, the magnitude of her depressed state, etc). I believe that it was a wonderful, imaginitive idea, however, and that you should definitely be very proud of it.

Author's Response: When I was writing this story, I thought the ending was really predictable, so thanks for clarifying that I wasn't overly paranoid, lol. I'm always pround of myself when I predict the endings to books, movies and TV shows, and I hold it over anyone that didn't get it :P

I'm glad that you liked my writing style, and thought that it was a wonderful and imaginative idea. I'm not so glad that it didn't stir any deep emotion within you, but I guess that it will help me improve in the future. So thanks for your honesty.

Btw, I will definetly try to check on that story you will be writing!
