Distraction by Jenn_Weasley

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Telara always knew she was special to her adoptive family. But she never knew how special she really was until Albus Dumbledore took her back to England and the wizarding world. Now she faces her biggest challenge ever. Fitting in at Hogwarts? No – she can do that. Will she be able to help Harry Potter win the war against Voldemort? For everyone’s sake – let’s hope so.


Over 4200 reads! Thanks so much everyone!! This was written Pre-HBP. You'll have to suspend new canon a bit for me.


For my faithful (and new as well) reviewers: I've been practicing my amateur publishing skills and have made a paperback version of this story. If you would like a copy, let me know and I'll send one out. I might even make a collection of all my stories if anyone is interested. Thanks!

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!

Momentous Change by Eilime

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: It’s Harry’s last year at Hogwarts and as he has already expected – with experience in having troublesome adventures before – this year is going to be a year full of surprises. Voldemort has a plan! Chocolate frogs, ambiguous but semantic evil schemes, ominous word games, a succinct letter, incongruous French lecture, inexcusable slovenliness, birds and bees with eloquence, intolerable impatience and something goes terribly wrong… Now complete

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.

A Road of Shattered Glass by Ennalee

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Three years after Voldemort’s first fall, Tonks and Ninette, a metamorphmagus and a dancer, each struggle to find their own identities apart from the deceptions of mirrors. Meanwhile, in the caves underneath Hogwarts, someone may be searching for things better left lost.
Reviewer: miss padfoot Signed
Date: 09/01/07 Title: Chapter 10: Taking Tea in Greenhouse Four

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*



MOMENTS OF BLISS by moonymaniac

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: Remus Lupin is a man with a tragic past, filled with pain, suffering and sorrow. But it is also a past filled with great adventure, true friendship and…love? Even though the odds were against him, Remus found happiness at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had the Marauders, he was a prefect and his transformations were less horrible, thanks to his Animagi friends. What more could a teenage werewolf want? And how long could his happiness last? Remus and the Marauders prove that in the saddest of lives and darkest of times, there can still be moments of bliss.

Remus centric but with a lot of the other Marauders. This story is a romance, but has almost as much general Marauder era background and side story as romance.
Pre-HBP and DH, so some things from DH will be disregarded, as the warning indicates, but some Spoilers will be incorporated.

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.



Sirius Black . . . Babysitter Extraordinaire?! by Scheherazade

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •

Reviewer: miss padfoot Signed
Date: 08/11/05 Title: Chapter 8: Morgan's Tale

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!



Reviewer: miss padfoot Signed

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!

Date: 04/07/06 Title: Chapter 11: For Whom the Bell Tolls

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!!

Date: 07/01/05 Title: Chapter 5: The Letter

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

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!
