"The thing about growing up with Fred and George, is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve."
Hello! I'm Padfoot, or PnP if you're in a rush. I like Harry Potter. I write fanfiction. I read fanfiction. You read fanfiction. Read my fanfiction.
The website above is my friend Orii's. I've got a few poems up on there-- feel free to check them out :D
Random info for stalkerish stalkers:
Hogwarts House- Gryffindor
Fav. HP Book- Sorcerer's Stone
Fav. HP Characters- Sirius, the Marauders (which includes Sirius, of course, but he's my favorite so he gets special recognition), the Weasleys, Luna, Neville, Tonks, Hagrid, the Trio, and Lily. Funny how a bunch of my favorites end up dead, isn't it?
Fav. Ships- Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, James/Lily, Remus/Tonks, Neville/Luna
Fav. HP Movie- Sorcerer's Stone (gotta love consistency), Goblet of Fire
Fav. Fan Fic Authors- Schmerg_The_Impaler, Pussycat123, MagEd
Fav. Authors- J.K. Rowling, Harper Lee, Cornelia Funke, David Lubar, Ellen Raskin, Sarah Dessen, and many more
Stories:
A Weasley Christmas- first fic ever. Based off 'Twas the night before Christmas', only with a bunch of the lines changed so it pertains to Harry Potter.
A Letter For Fred- another poem. Rather sweet, from George to the recently-deceased Fred. I'm quite happy with how this one turned out.
The Trouble With Being Trusted- My very first Gauntlet, where a I wrote as Tonks. Includes younger versions of older characters, and the protaganist escaping death many times.
Who Killed the King?- My murder mystery WIP. I'm finally working on some more chapters, so hopefully they'll be up soon!
The Marauding Roses of Gryffindor- joint fic between me in a couple Gryffs. It was set up and put together by Michelle. And although I didn't win the date with Sirius, I got Remus instead, which is pretty awesome.
When Love Prevails- my second Gauntlet, co-written by the fabulous Brittany. Probably the weirdest James/Lily story you'll ever find. I wrote the wacky Lily ^_^
I hope to have more up soon, but feel free to drop a review for any of those!
My favorite HP quote of all time is as follows:
"--but you get these massive pus-filled boils too," said George, "and we haven't worked out how to get rid of them yet."
"I can't see any boils," said Ron, staring at the twins.
"No, well, you wouldn't," said Fred, "they're not in a place we generally display to the public --"
"-- but they make sitting on a broom a right pain in the --"
Yes, I have barely any emotional depth. Why do you ask?
Other favorite Quotes:
"You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts...but you cannot deny he's got style..." (I liked it better when Kingsley said it in the movie. That was hilarious!)
"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"
"I'll join you when hell freezes over."
"Hello, Minister!" bellowed Percy, sending a neat jinx straight at Thicknesse, who dropped his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, apparently in awful discomfort. "Did I mention I'm resigning?"
“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love. By returning, you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed, fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say good-bye for the present.”
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."
"Keep muttering and I will be a murderer!"
Oh, and don't forget Elvendork! It's unisex!
"And, quite honestly, I've had enough trouble for a lifetime"

The Acromantula and its Ability to Consume the Most Repulsive Beasts on This Earth by Mind_Over_Matter
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Intelligent, attractive, witty and classy first year, Draco Malfoy, has found himself stuck with the task of writing an essay for an incompetent, and frankly stupid teacher, Professor Quirrel.

aww, you'll love me forevah? haha draco's such a craphead... i don't like him much either... great though!
Sirius: The Black Knight by Pussycat123
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Sirius was killed by Bellatrix. When he lands headlong at his dead best friend’s feet, he is a little perplexed. All is soon explained, however. He has reached Heaven, and James is here to welcome him. Before he can begin to get used to life in Heaven, he must first “watch his life” on the large screen in front of him, because it will help him understand things better. And so, that’s what he does. From the very beginning, to the very end. You too, can follow him through the ups and downs. Follow him through the highs and the lows. Follow him through the laughter, the pain, and the romance. Follow him through the story of his life. This fic is a tribute to Sirius Black. It is not all marauder-era, although a bulk of it is, and that is why it’s in this category.
Date: 11/13/07 Title: Chapter 21: The Beginning
holey schmooley, long fic! but it was fabulous still! i do tend to love sirius fics... if you cant guess why :)
~Padfoot
Author's Response: Um ... nope, not a clue. ;D Thanks for reviewing!
Late Love by joanna
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Amelia Bones's death left one man in deep sorrow.
Date: 01/06/08 Title: Chapter 1: Late Love
I think this is just about the oddest pairing I've ever seen. You have originality points there, my dear.
I, of all people, fell in love
You have Aberforth well in-character. It's hard to get him grumpy and romantic, and you pulled it off well.
She laughed rarely; she said her family would most likely die of surprise if they ever heard her laugh.
Haha, that was funny in a sad sort of way. Your portrayal of Amelia was refreshing; we never see her a lot in the books and it was good for you to take her on.
I know you would have found it highly amusing, you with your strange sense of humour.
Ah, that's Dumbledore! I like the Albus/Aberforth- it's defienetly canon. I'm not sure if this was published before DH, but it's very well-done.
This was a nice read, and a cute pairing that I would have never thought up. I especially like how you had it in letter form. It was a nice touch, and very original and non-annoying as far as romances go ^_^

The Thoughts of Tabitha by mugglegurl
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Meet Tabitha, the fourteen year-old daughter of Harry and Ginny Potter. What happens when she finds herself attracted to the son of her father's worst enemy? Along with a set of new characters, and the return of some old ones, this teen will find the meaning of friendship and family.
Date: 02/01/08 Title: Chapter 15: Conversations
Yaay! It was updated! :)
It's cool how Tabby can talk to Marcus; he reminds me a lot of Luna. I suppose that's the intention, but I still thought that her seeking him out for advice was nice.
Quinn sort of reminds me of Hermione, except she's a little less forgiving. I hope Nikki apologizes!
Great chapter, dear- I hope the next one is up soon (and has more of lovely Decimus)
~Padfoot
PS Sorry about the Gareth thing in the last review. It made me look stupid and I was probably thinking of another story :)
Author's Response: Don\'t worry about it! I\'m willing to answer any questions my readers have.
And, that was the plan. Quinn was supposed to be like Hermione (smart), but I had to make her more different.
Date: 11/14/07 Title: Chapter 14: Lemon Drops
poor Deci! he's my favorite character, and him and Tabby make such a cute couple! pleez update soon!
~Padfoot
PS wait is Gareth related to Tabby? you might have mentioned it but i'm too lazy to look :)
Author's Response: I\'m trying to update! But my computer won\'t work . . . And, no, Gareth is not related to Tabby.
Firecracker by KalHoNaaHo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Amazing how something born from insignificance and a dire need to measure up is the one thing that brings Ginny Weasley back. One-shot.
Date: 12/18/07 Title: Chapter 1: Firecracker
WOW! What a wonderful story! This was really well-written.
"Her robes swirled behind her, flaming red hair whipped against her cheek, and the wind was raising her higher and higher. She was a kite, buoying along in the breeze — then a bird, gliding, swerving, diving, only to shoot back up, no longer craving the solidity of earth beneath her feet."
That was a strong beginning, full of imagery (I hope I spelled it right!) and really gives a description of Gin-Gin. Her feelings are really strong- I could feel as though she was actually real and saying those things.
"And it would be a nice change from summer at the Burrow, although she highly doubted that there would be any broom sheds that she could break into where they would be staying."
Heehee, that made me giggle. I like how you added her breaking into the broomshed- even the littlest details make the story great!
But my favorite part was your characterization of Charlie. We don't see him a lot in the books, so it was nice to see someone take him and flesh him out a bit. Who wouldn't want an older brother like that? I know another reviewer said that Ginny might have been closer to Bill, but I'm glad you used Charlie.
The last paragraph was a great way to end the story. It kind of makes the reader think of what Ginny does in the future ^_^
Great story! I enjoyed it.

Hidden by Marauder by Midnight
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Epilogue up.
Luna Lovegood, fresh out of Hogwarts, is assigned her first article abroad in rural England for the Quibbler. However, she encounters a strange story in this small town. Soon, she finds herself entangled in a web and race to save the life of a former Death Eater.
Luna Lovegood/Draco Malfoy.
Post-Hogwarts, Mystery, Draco/OC, Other Pairing story.
Dedicated to Poultrygeist who presented to me an unforgettable plot bunny.
Date: 01/06/08 Title: Chapter 1: Arrival
*bows to HoH*
This was a nice first chapter. It's an easy but exciting read, especially since you ended it with a cliffie.
I like how Luna's sort of grownup, but she's also the dreamy person she is in the books.
Famos reminds me of Mundungus. He's certainly an unpleasant character.
Oh, no! What's wrong with Luna? Perhaps a certain golden-haired magic Muggle will know...
This was a very lovely chappie, even if it did end with an evil cliffie. Again, nice characterization of Luna.

Never Look At A Book The Same Way by anAnachronism
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A short drabble about what happened between Tom and Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets before Harry came along.
Date: 01/06/08 Title: Chapter 1: One Shot
Wow.
That was really believable in a scary but nice sort of way. I love your portrayal of Ginny- it;s nice to have fics before she became some lovesick teenager.
If Tom Riddle had lips, they would be smirking
Here we have ourselves an in-character Tom Riddle! *claps* He was done spectacularly (I can't spell today). It was creepy how he was controlling Ginny like a puppet *shudder*
“Er, no offense Hermione,” Ginny grinned nervously, “but right now, I don’t think I’ll ever look at a book the same way again.”
Ha, that was a great line. It shows her feelings after Tom did all those things to her.
I like how you had the diary entry at the end. It was a nice way to finish the story.
This was a lovely read and I'm glad I found it. Great job!

Turning the Corner by Grace has Victory
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Michael Corner rides an emotional roller-coaster in the fortnight before the Yule Ball, where, to his own great surprise, he is smitten by a beautiful red-head.
Date: 08/10/08 Title: Chapter 21: Reverie
What a wonderful story! Hearthlinks ties in nicely to this one. A very nice read- there aren't a lot of stories from Michael's POV. I love how you included the minor Hogwarts students- especially the Gryffindor girls. I really like your writing- at some parts it felt like a real HP book!
~PnP
PS- My favorite part would have to be where the girl (can't remember which, aah!) says the part about robes not clashing with purple. It was hilarious!
Author's Response: Thanks, PnP! I am very flattered that this old story is still attracting some attention. Yes, I had the goal of mentioning each student in Harry's year at least once. I assumed that Michael would know the ones that Harry didn't. Anyway, now you know what Zabini was up to and why he asked Sally-Anne to the ball. Thanks for reviewing, GhV
The Things I Do For L.O.V.E by Pussycat123
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Hi, I’m Lily Evans. You know, there are a lot of fics about me out there. I’m flattered that you spend time thinking about me, but sometimes sickened. How could these fics not mention my
Well, this fic has all of these things. It also has L.O.V.E (I’m the ‘L’), the elite group of
Date: 11/24/08 Title: Chapter 15: There's A Difference Between Love And L.O.V.E
Oh my goodness, why have I not read this story before? I LOVE IT! It's my favorite of all your fics... I love everything about it- the characterizations, the plot, the END *squee* and I don't care that it hasn't some of the biggest Marauder era cliches in it (such as James's cousin)... you made the story work, and it's amazing.
I'll be back with more reviews soon, but as for now, I've been wondering-- what happens to fair Iola? Does she die in the First War, or what?
~PnP
Author's Response: Well, I never really wanted to think about it too much, because there's the small fact that we know pretty much for certain that Harry's only living relatives are the Dursleys - I'm sure things would have been very different if Iola brought Harry up! So she probably doesn't survive. But I'd really like to hope that she goes out with a bang, perhaps doing something heroic like saving Sirius's life. Mostly though I try not to think about it! Thanks very much for the review, I'm glad you like the story.
Someone To Watch Over Me by MagEd
Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: 2009 QSQ Awards Winner for Best Chaptered Canon Romance
Before the chosen one was ever born, his parents had to meet, fall in love, and defy Voldemort three times. Easier said than done. Things were never easy for Harry Potter's parents, but it gets a whole lot harder when Death Eaters kidnap Lily. This is the story of Lily and James, the trials they face, and how James finally wins Lily's heart. (pre-Deathly Hallows)
*Completed*
“I’ll always protect you.”
Date: 08/28/09 Title: Chapter 34: The Epilogue
I can't believe it's over.
I haven't been the best reviewer in the world, but I've read every chapter and loved all of them. I laughed, I cried, and I believed that Ted was good, even though I shouldn't have.
The End's Not Near; It's Here and The Aftermath were my favorite chapters. I loved the suspense when Lily and James went to see Voldemort- I forgot about canon and was worried that they'd die. And I loved Sirius saying that they'd eloped; you've characterized him wonderfully, which isn't something many fanfic authors can do.
My favorite part, however, was when James proposed. It just seems so fitting to have him do it when they were in school... but, yeah, I really liked that scene. Brought warm fuzzies to my heart :D
I sort of liked the epilogue- but the negativity was mostly because I was sad to see it end :D I adore the Sirius/Emmeline pairing; I could see them marrying, if they'd lived in the alternate universe Sirius talked about. I can see why Emma doesn't love Harry like Sirius does; it's a bit Snape-like, but it works rather nicely. I'm also really glad Ted died; I don't think it would have been fair if he'd lived.
All in all, I really enjoyed this story, so thank you very much for writing it-- even if it did take three years! I'll defientely miss the updates, but this will go with Uncle Fred Calls Him Dick in my list of rereads. (Speaking of the latter story- will you ever write anything like it again? Because I love it to pieces; it's one of my favoritetest fanfics ever) :D I don't think I'll be able to read your other James/Lily just yet... I like this one too much, haha.
Well, I hope this wins the QSQs-- I nominated it for the canon romance category. Good luck!
Until next time indeed,
~PnP :-)
Author's Response: I can't really believe its over, either! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and like the final, suspenseful chapters. They were really hard to write, but I'm rather proud of how they turned out. And I'm glad you liked the proposal! I was smiling like a crazy person to myself the entire time I wrote that scene. ;) The ending is definitely bittersweet, but I couldn't have dragged it out any longer! It would have been nice to see Sirius and Emma together for real, but this is as happy as I could see them realistically. As for Uncle Fred Calls Him Dick and writing something like it -- I do have an idea in mind that I think I've mentioned in my profile called "Giving a Fish a Bath." I started to write it and then realized that it was almost TOO much like Uncle Fred Calls Him Dick with various family members be introduced one by one in the first chapter. Hopefully, though, I'll get into it and redo it and post it soon! Thanks for the QSQ nomination! :)
Date: 05/13/08 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 21: Balance
I seriously love your writing. It's sad, happy, thrilling, and romantic, all mixed in together. You're fabulous at James/Lily- there's a bumbling cliche here and there, but all romances have them. I'll review the other chapters later, but I just want to tell you how much I like this story, and hope you write more. This story'll defienetly have a little home in my favorites :)
~PnP
Author's Response: Thanks! I think there are some cliche\'s in here as well -- this is one of the first fics I ever started writing, and the next Lily/James fic that I have planned (since I can\'t help but be in overdrive!) I want to try and be extremely different from the usual fics! Of course, that\'s besides the point. I\'m glad you like this story enough to put it in favs! :)
Date: 06/08/08 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 22: Smile and Nod
Aw, what a sweet chapter. Your characterization of Peter was marvelous- perhaps the best in all the Marauder fics I've read. You had an error or two- 'Marauder' wasn't capitalized, but that's all right.
I hope the next chapter's up soon! This is a really enjoyable fic.
~PnP
Author's Response: Thanks! I do tend to mess up on what should and shouldn\'t be capitalized -- I\'ll have to try and fix that! I\'m glad you liked Peter. I don\'t like it when he\'s neglected in fics, because, although he turns out to be evil, he was still a Marauder. Of course, I recently realized I myself was sorely neglecting him in my story, and this was my attempt to salvage that. I\'m glad you thought I did a good job -- I plan on having a little more of him in the story. :) Hopefully the next chapter isn\'t too far off!
The Dark Lord's Blog by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years • Summary: What does Lord Voldemort do in his spare time? Well, that's an excellent question. Who would have known that the Dark Lord has a blog? (He also has a loyal following of readers, most of whom are Death Eaters and who post their comments.) Voldemort dispenses advice on everything from murder methods to germ protection to Power Rangers to shoes, and gives an account of the life of an evil overlord. But is he posting too much personal information online? And will Harry read it and find out more about the Dark Lord than Voldemort ever intended? Read and see.
WARNING: Extremely OOC behaviour from almost all.
RUNNER-UP in the 2007 Quicksilver Quills Awards for Best Humour fic! Also nominated like 21 times, because apparently my readers are as insane as I am!
Date: 11/05/07 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: I Sold My Soul on eBay
i love this story! my fav parts are joshgrobanfan4evah, "that man's face is about as attractive as a jury duty notice", and like everything else! i personally hate the power rangers and i think draco would be, like, the *green* one, with a snake visor- thingy, instead of yellow, b/c the yellow is a woman.
yeah.
~Padfoot
Author's Response: Thank you! Well, we know Draco likes girls, because he gets married and stuff, but he doesn\'t have to be super-manly for that. My favourite ranger was always the blue one. (I never saw the show, but I read the junior novelizations when I was in elementary school.)
You are the first person ever to comment on the part about \"as attractive as a jury duty notice.\" Congratulations!

i always knew the real story would be something like this! lol... nice job- "Prongs, are you strutting?"
~Padfoot
Author's Response: >< Yeah, it ain\'t the most original and ingenious of plots. Thank you though. I really really am my harshest critic.

Draco's Trick-or-Treat by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Three-year-old Draco goes trick-or-treating for the first time. His mother takes the opportunity to teach him some lessons and Malfoy family values that she believes will be important to her son later in life. This depiction of Draco is VASTLY different from the version of him that I write in "The Dark Lord's Blog."
Ridiculously short one-shot.
Date: 11/06/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One and Only!
very cute! i like how you added your sister into it... i thought it was Hermione too, but then you said it was your sis... 10/10
~Padfoot
Author's Response: Thanks! I guess she is kinda Hermione-ish, but Draco wouldn\'t know she was a Muggleborn witch-- he\'d just think she was a Muggle.

~Padfoot
PS i was sad when you said there was no sequel... are you going to write anything more like this? i hope so!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you decided to read it, I guess reviews really do help in more than boosting me ego! ;) There is actually a short-fic sequel in the making . . . keep checking in!
