I was orphaned at a young age. I was taken in by people that didn't want me. And I was raised alongside a child that was very much wanted. DO I LOVE HARRY POTTER? Anyone? Anyone? Just one fan enjoying the chance to share the Potterverse with others!

Of Coloured Pencils and Plastic Bags by Sirenny

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: So many children had passed through her class in the small Primary School of Little Whinging, and Miss. Morrison liked to think she remembered them all. The shy ones, who hid behind their mothers legs or curled up in their fathers protective arms; the boisterous ones, who ran in small, never ending circles with boundless energy. The smart ones and the ones who struggled, sometimes bravely and sometimes with tears and tantrums. The short ones and the tall ones, the sweet and the mischievous; they were all special to her, in their own way, and they all earned themselves a special place in her memories. All of them, that is, except for one.

Ted Lupin and the Triwizard Tournament by starstruck7

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: When Ted Lupin is named Hogwarts Champion for the newly reinstated Triwizard Tournament he will have to use all his wits to face an angry chimera, cheating, backstabbing, ex-Quidditch stars, intrigues, waltzing, illegal magic, and fierce competition from his arch-nemesis, the lovely Victoire.

But there’s more. Something truly dreadful lurks under the cover of fame and eternal glory. A mystery Ted, his famous godfather Harry Potter, and (of course) Victoire will have to solve. Because if they don’t, this tournament will surpass even its predecessors and become the bloodiest competition Hogwarts has ever seen.

Great so far...It hast he JK magic. However not to be nit picky, but did Old Hagrid apparate to Romania after he showed the first years across the lake? From the tense used in the explanation of his whereabouts one is led to believe he is already there. That was the only problem I Could see I am still favoriting this story.

Author's Response: You are absolutely right, Hagrid is long gone. I was editing for passive tense and forgot I\'d left it that way on purpose! Thanks so much, I\'ve fixed it.

Fairytale by x_lily_evans_x

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Seventeen-year-old Rose Weasley has always liked romance of the fairytale variety. She thinks she’s found her Prince Charming in Daniel Corner, the handsome Ravenclaw Seeker. But into her life enters Scorpius Malfoy, and it’s unclear whether he’ll be leaving it anytime soon. Suddenly it’s as if Rose is trapped in one of those devastatingly romantic soap operas her mother keeps telling her about… only that she’s not sure if it will have a happy ending… if she will have a happy ending.

Chasing Angelina by Kerichi

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:

As a Chaser for the Harpies, Angelina Johnson is used to chasing goals, but when the team is sold and Blaise Zabini takes over management, she feels more like a Quaffle...and one that might not mind being handled.

Reviewer: Sly One Signed
Date: 04/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: Blaise

Great story. But shouldn't it be labeled as Alternative Universe, since according to JK and every other source, that George Weasley married Angelina? Just curious.

Author's Response:

It's not AU according to literary canon. I started writing For Bitter or for Worse, the George/Alicia story that inspired this one, well before Jo came out with her "Family Tree." If I'd had Fred live, that would be AU. This one, I might ask Mods to consider adding a new warning for:

I wasn't going to review but I have to say ditto on the frustration. I have two stories burning up my brain and I can't get either one up! I have a great banner, three beta's, three chapters exstensively reviewed and debugged, and they erased one of them with no word the other day for some vague rule violation or some such!!! I covet the HP universe but when I see them post lesser works while I can't even get one posted, and then I have to re-post one chapter three or four times...it gets so frustrating. I am seriously afraid of losing my story while I languish in queu hell! That being said, you have a very JKesque touch with characters and everything is so In character I really am having a blast reading. You and I have come to some of the same conclusions about the next generation, and its like seeing my own thoughts fleshed out. I never considered Harry and Ginny having a roue about Albus Severus, but seriously, how could they not? Yipes. Thanks for your writing, and thanks for making me feel better about my own misgivings!

Keep it going!

SLy

Author's Response: I know I\'m not the only frustrated author. I\'ve spoken to several others who have vowed never to post another story on Mugglenet because of all the problems they\'ve encountered. I haven\'t decided for sure yet, but I\'m definitely leaning that way. I post stories on two other sites, both of which require validation, and I\'ve never encountered the kind of delays on those sites that I have here. My past experience with Mugglenet, however, was fairly positive, so I don\'t know if this is just a temporary glitch or the wave of the future. Once I figure it out, I\'ll make my decision. Good luck with your stories. Hope the site admins can get their act together soon.

The Women Who Won by Laurelyn

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: The battle is fought, the war is won--but no victory ever comes cheap. Join Alice, Andromeda, Ginny, Narcissa, Luna, Molly, and Hermione as they discover the cost of war.

EDIT: I'm back! And I am SO SORRY I was gone so long. There is absolutely no excuse for making you wait almost three years for an update. *hides from angry reviewers* The next chapter is in the queue!

Love the story. I have to say that Neville's situation always saddens me even more than Harry's. I re-read that chapter In Order of the Phoenix where Neville tells them how proud he is of his parents when they don't even know him, and how he keeps the gum wrapper in defiance of his Grandmother. I think its JK at her most human...this is a nice epilogue. thanks

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! I agree with you that this is some of Jo\'s best writing. I love the Harry Potter books because they are so real, even while they are clearly fantasy. In a real war the winner never gets away cleanly; there are always some things that no amount of peace will fix. The situation with Neville\'s parents demonstrates this exceptionally well. Thanks again for reviewing; it made my day!

Oh man, Oh man, OH man! Artistry on display in here! Thats all I can say. I've been through the aftermath of death and I can verify that mix of guilt, pain, elation and confusion is perfectly described. Considering the last chapter you wrote, I have to say you've got something here! Please keep it going for all our sakes.

Author's Response: This is one of the best reviews I\'ve received; thank you so much! I had a hard time putting those indescribable feelings onto paper; I\'m glad to know I succeeded. Thanks again!

When Albus, Rose, and Scorpius are put on the train to their first year at Hogwarts, their parents have simple hopes for them. Namely to have the normal, boring school years they never got to experience themselves. But sometimes, we ask too much of our children.

Someday I'll Know by HogwartsGirly124

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Harry Potter!

When we hear that name we think of The Boy Who Lived, The Chosen One, but what was Harry like before he ever step foot in the wizarding world. What was our future hero like when he was mocked and scolded by his own family? How did he deal with? Would he ever know what happened to the parents that haunted his dreams......

Reviewer: Sly One Signed
Date: 04/19/08 Title: Chapter 1: Someday......

You desperately need to put the parent's dialogs in italics, or have some other way to differentiate it from what is going on in little Harry's head.

I had to read that one line twice to really catch the gist of it. Just a better separation between the two point of views would push this over the top into being one of my favorites!

So please consider that edit, I know it will help you sell the story to the reader just that one little bit more clearly.

Good luck!

Genius wrinkle to the whole Snape/Lilly mythos. It also explains some of the root of the Potter/Snape fued. I'm wondering because I never see any information on Potter's parents...was this idle speculation or did it have basis in fact?

Love Like Wildflowers by the squid girl

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Fifteen year old Emma Lovett hates Regulus Black. He's an arrogant jerk with an ego the size of Asia. Or at least, he was. When Emma starts her fifth year at Hogwarts, Regulus' behavior seems to have changed a bit. She begins to think that Regulus might not be so bad. Of course, no one but her diary ever needs to know what she thinks.

Full Circle by Sirenny

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Harry was pretty sure it had been an unfortunate trick of the light, and therefore dismissed it as stress combined with an unhealthy lack of sleep finally taking their toll on his sanity. The start of the new school year was, undoubtedly, a wonderful thing. Getting his three children onto the train with the bare minimum of fuss, outrage and actual bodily harm was quite another.

Thanks and PLEASE keep writing!

Corporeal Fates by Pendraegona

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: ‘We think He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named may have murdered her in person, because she was a very gifted witch and—and all the evidence was that she put up a real fight.’

Amelia Bones expected to be targeted at some point, and she was ready to defend herself (or run, depending on the odds)...but being trapped in her own apartment by the Dark Lord was not in her plans. (Madam Bones was an interesting character who didn't get much book-time, but she deserved a proper death scene--this is my attempt to give it to her.)

Reviewer: Sly One Signed
Date: 05/02/08 Title: Chapter 1: Corporeal Fates

Great writing you are one of my favorite authors. But I do have to point out, Madam Bones was alive and made an appearance in the beginning of the Order of the Phoenix when she was at Harry Potters trial, and thwarted the ministers efforts to railroad the young wizard. JK doesn't notify us of her death until the summary to the Prime Minister of England in the first chapter of Half Blood Prince the events you are discussing with Fudge happened in the Goblet of Fire. Plus, being real nitpicky here, she was killed in a locked room under mysterious circumstances, a blasted apart house would have been of note. With a short rewrite you can fix both of those problems.

I just think you are a brilliant author and I dont want this brilliant piece of writing saddled with AU when its not meant to be AU.

I would go back and mention in the conversation with Fudge events that happened in Order and have him be defensive about that. Because he would have justified his efforts after Goblet he wasn't repentant until after Order. You might even mention his impending resignation or her even suggesting it. As for the locked room, write a short paragraph about how while she was paralized he put everything back in order in her home, including a locked door to her study, then before he apparated he killed her. Obviously to add to the terror and the confusion of her death. She might even make a rueful comment about his cleaning skills in her head like "For a Dark Lord, he is tidy fellow, you've got to give him that!" Those changes will make this cannon, and elevate this story to JK status! It is so nearly there already!

Other than those things, this is brilliantly imagined and written. Please consider those changes, this story is worth it!

THanks

SLy

Author's Response: Oh, maybe I should put a vague date on it--it is between OOTP and HBP. I was trying to say that Fudge deliberately didn\'t report Crouch\'s death after GOF because it would damage his credibility, and Bones didn\'t find out about it until over a year later. I was trying to subtly hint that Fudge knew he was going to be sacked, and when Bones suggested apologizing to Harry Potter, Fudge thought about bringing Harry in to look like the Ministry had his support--getting Harry\'s backing was Fudge\'s idea pre-Scrimgeour, after all. I\'m pretty bad with the nuances of the Ministry, but I\'ll see what I can do to make that clearer.\r\n\r\nYou got me on the locked door bit--totally forgot about that. I think a wrecked house consitutes \"mysterious circumstances\" but I\'ll have to go back and make sure the roof stays on the house, and change the bit where Voldemort blasts open the door. Ooh, I\'ll have to get rid of the Dark Mark, too. Hm...thanks for pointing that out. I\'ll change it, but it\'ll take a little time to get it right.

WOW!!! I is very hard to keep up that level of action and sustain that much effort for that long! And Dumbledore's reaction was so in character!!! I mean the man never got ruffled LOL! I can see Neville falling for the gag, I can see Neville being the victim of such a gag. All very in character! And his reaction was so perfect to the confident, true Gryffindor Neville we know he became! So bravo writing a coming of age story so comically! You got some skills, gonna check out your other stories!

La Vie en Rose by Pendraegona
