+(unfortunately, FanFiction.net allows only one review per
+chapter, so I was not able to add this to my review of
+`chapter 90`_ of The Missing Moments by Ash-and-Vine).
+
+When I was something like fourteen I was in hospital for surgery
+which made me for a week unable to move almost at all (surgery
+was at my groin, and it seemed like all muscles in my body were
+somehow connected). Biggest than physical pain (there was some)
+was pain of being immobile. I was completely consumed whole week
+with incredible jealousy of everybody including nurses who could
+walk. It was lovely sunny May, flowers were blossoming outside of
+windows of my hospital room, and I could just lie down on my bad
+watching ceiling.
+
+When after a week or so of such lying in the bed, I was able to
+get myself to loo, it was one of the most exciting moments of my
+life (birth of my first-born is in the similar category). When
+couple of days later I could walk and I was released from the
+hospital, I was so excited and grateful for just ability to walk
+that I have almost ripped my stitches by walking over seven
+kilometres home over whole Prague. This sense of gratitude never
+left me completely and I believe it was one of the core impulses
+which lead me later to coming to Christ.
+
+I guess that's something similar what Hermione felt in this
+chapter, and I hope that everybody who reads it experienced
+something at least as awesome (with stress on the root “awe”).
+
+Let me finish with what I wrote as my original review of the
+chapter:
+
+ My brother complained about HP that ends so poorly in his
+ opinion: the superhero saves the world and then he just has
+ family, kids and he is just an official in the Ministry
+ (well, a policeman, but still)? What kind of superhero he is?
+
+ My answer was that he is exactly the hero I like, and I am
+ quite sure the hero JKR wanted to have.
+
+Thank you for writing this chapter so beautiful.
