All of your lovely comments and what do I focus on? How happy I am that you thought that Hermione was both annoying and appealing! God, she bugs the heck out of me so often in the books, but Harry's love for her is so strong that it overcomes my annoyance every time. I think the reason I got away with it here is because I tried to keep Harry's pov tight, so his love for her kept coming through no matter how obnoxious she was. Thanks so much for your kind words! *hugs*
