I discovered MuggleNet in the summer of 2005 and haven't left ever since. ♥
Thanks, bewitching, for the surprise banner! ♥
Oh! I love Telera. She's so cool and seems to have matured from chapter 1. UPDATE SOON!!! 10/10
Author's Response: Thanks! Chapter 6 is waiting for validation. I'll have Chapter 7 submitted as soon as Chapter 6 is up.
Oh! That was hilarious. I like the way you've portrayed the Marauders. UPDATE SOOON!!! 10/10
OMG!!! That was asweet ending to a great story. And you're one of a kind. I love you're sequel. 10/10
Author's Response: Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the ending! One of a kind? *blushes* I'm glad you're also enjoying the sequel!
Great chapter. But the cliffhanger is annoying really. Being CraftySlytherin, You are cunning to leave a chapter like that. Update soooon. Pleeeez!!! And I vote for the sequel. (Sorry but Draco/Ginny together makes me vomit)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing! Chapter 15 (the final chapter) is now up! Enjoy, and I do have plans for a sequel in the works!
You've got a great story over there. Just keep up the great work going and UPDATE SOON!!!
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Simply loved it. The whole chapter's great. Remus and Tonks make a great pair. UPDATE SOON!!
Excerpt: Harry woke up with a start. He couldn't remember what he had dreamt about, but he knew it hadn't been a good dream - sweat made his hair cling to his forehead and his pyjamas clung to his body like a homeless person would cling on to a lamp post in a hurricane.
gr8 chapter. I just couldn't stop laughing.
Author's Response: Thank you!
great story. I especially liked the part where Harry imitates Ron when he caught him kissing Hermione. Keep up the gr8 work and UPDATE SOON!!!!
Author's Response: I'm teribbly sorry. This was actually a review for the Prophecy's Child by Katostrophe. But I can't work out how I managed to review my own story.
gr8 chapter!! especially when Sir Cadogan enters the scene. Keep up the good, no great work.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review; I really appreciate it. Glad you liked it! :)
Oh, my. Here I am, on my third re-read of the entire story, finally mustering the courage to review. Wow, Nan, where do I even start? I’m just stunned – whatever words I might find won’t simply be enough to justify your story, but I’m going to try nevertheless.
The first thing I noticed about the story is your writing style. I’m amazed that the story reads so beautifully, almost poetically, when you don’t seem to use any words that are “fancy”. The sheer simplicity of your writing style makes the story extra special, I’d say. Truly an asset.
And then comes the plot itself. Wow, I’m again blown away by the amount of thought you’ve put into each chapter, especially the last two chapters. Both of them, while loaded with information, were simply wonderful to read. I’m already looking forward to what dangers Tonks and co are getting themselves into. The last chapter, in particular, was quite heart-breaking.
She did not know her mother’s story, but she knew the stories of all the ballets her mother had ever danced in.
*sighs* Oh, Nan, this line is probably the most beautiful, albeit heart-wrenching line in the entire chapter. Here again, there are no fancy words, but just stating it so plainly is so powerful, it hurts.
The loneliness of poor Ninette, and how she throws herself more into her ballet as a distraction – oh dear, that was just so sad, indeed. I hope getting a picture of her parents would cause a positive change in her, poor thing.
And I must comment on your characterisation. Let’s start with Ninette, shall we? Oh, I just can’t think of Ninette as a character, much less an OC. Nan, if I didn’t know she was an original character in a work of fiction, I’d be willing to bet that the story is a biography of sorts. Such is the effect Ninette has on me. She’s just so real, for lack of a better word. Right from the first chapter, I was hooked, fangirling Ninette. So naturally, this chapter in particular was utterly delightful. Wow, first we get the impression that Ninette is Muggleborn when she actually is the daughter of one of the Peverells! Amazing, just amazing.
Oh, and the other character who amused me very much in this chapter was Professor Snith. She reminds me of Professor Trelawney in some ways; yet, she is her own person. I’m thinking she had a crush on Ninette’s father? *giggles* Her portrayal is so delicate, and although she annoyed me a bit sometimes, I enjoyed reading about her greatly.
I found very few typos in this story, seeing as you and your beta are both perfectionists ;)
“Yes, please,” Ninette stammered.
I found it odd here that it says Ninette stammered, although she doesn’t seem to during the speaking part. “Y-yes, please,” would be more appropriate, right? =)
One does loose track of time, doesn’t one?
Hee, it should read “lose” here, rather than “loose”.
He thought it was ridiculous; getting all dressed up in a Muggle suit, taking a taxi to the Opera House — because we could hardly use Floo, could we? — and of course he didn’t apparate.
“Apparate” is always capitalised. =)
In conclusion, I’m simply enthralled by the story, Nan, and I’m greedily awaiting your next instalment. *bows*
I'm really enjoying reading this. You have a great grasp of Remus' character and the first chapter just had me in tears. I especially liked the way you wrote Remus' reactiong after receiving his Hogwarts' letter. I can just see him reacting that way. Very well done. The "It's addressed to you, Dad," line just had me in stitches for a long time. Good humour. In case you're wondering why I'm reviewing Chapter 2, it's for the Scavenger Hunt on the Forums. I'm really glad I found this fic, and this is going straight into my faves.
Author's Response: Thank you, miss padfoot. I'm glad you are enjoying it. I do love Remus so I'm glad you like how I've written him so far. What an interesting way to find a fic. :) I hope you continue reading and thank you for the lovely review.
great chapter. I couldn't stop laughing.Update soon.
Author's Response: I'll definitely be updating soon ! :-D
Glad you liked it !
Poor Sophie! I'm interested to know how she gets the Philosopher's stone. Update soon!
Author's Response: I wish I could update soon on here, but I don't think I will be able to. I'm setting up an account on fanfiction.net where the same story is going to be published, if you want to carry on reading it.
CHAPTER 14 IS UP! CHAPTER 15 IS IN QUEUE!
Zeppie and Winky! So unexpected and a twist as usual, Crafty! I loved this chapter and Morgan's tale. When I read the title I thought it had something to do with Morgan Gaunt! Silly! Ok so 10/10 as usual.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! There will be more house-elf confessions in the next chapter, namely from Dobby. Thanks for the 10!
I love the story (probably more than CoC, if that's possible!). Keep up the good work and update soon!!! (10/10)
Author's Response: I'm glad you may be enjoying this more than CoC, I'm hoping that my writing has improved since CoC's earlier chapters! I'm trying really hard to fit in more details. I'll be updating tomorrow!
Oh! Great chapter. I love Luna and Draco in this story. Update soon
Author's Response: I'll update as soon as I can. I officially lose my computer for a bit starting tomorrow, but will try to make it over and use my sisters to submit very soon!
OMG! You're back!!!! I almost fell off my seat when I saw you had updated! I had almost given up hope you would update, but you were and still are on my fave list! I had to read the whole thing to remember, and reading it a second time was delightful. I loved Morgan in the last few chapters. Can I expect a Morgan/Charlie romance? *wink wink hint hint * And what's causing all Hermione hit Ron? I just can't wait to find out. Hope you'll update soon!
Author's Response: Oooo! I hope you didn't hurt yourself! Glad you liked the Morgan stuff....a romance between her and Charlie? Do you really think so? :) Hermione isn't hitting Ron...you just have to read more to find out!!
Oh my, that's great. Draco/Luna ship(if you can call it) is a great one. Good luck for another quick update. 10/10
Author's Response: For now I'm just going to have them being friends. But....who knows what future chapters could bring :)
I'm warning you! If anything happens to Luna, then I'll STOP reviewing! Sorry about that... It's just that I love Luna, and please don't be responsible for her death! Another great chapter! All those titbits about Charlie/Morgan was great! They're cute as a couple! 10/10 Update soon!
Oh! Great story so far. There are some places where the use of exclamation mark is not needed like "Who!" A question mark's better. And thanks for reviewing my story.
Author's Response: Totally welcome! It was a good fic :) Yeh, as for the exclamation mark stuff I never notice that when I go through the chapters after I've wrote them, but notice it once its been validated and is already out - which is extremelly annoying!!!! Anyway, thanks for the review - chapter four coming soon!!
Author's Response: Ooh, sorry I forgot - could you perhaps review In The Eyes of a Killer for me? I want to continue with it but I won't until I get some more reviews - only 2 so far ... pathetic people!
