Great start. I wonder how the elder Ron and Hermione are going to react when they meet their younger counterparts. I hope Hermione doesn't faint as often as Ginny does. 10/10
Author's Response: Don't worry. The fainting is over. Ginny was just a bit overwhelmed. It's not everyday that you find out you married one of your friends.
Truth Be Told by CraftySlytherin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: What happens when Fred and George Weasley, Hogwarts' reknowned kings of pranks, decide to spike a shipment of pumpkin juice bound for Hogwarts with truth potion? A day filled with true confessions of Hogwarts students!!!!!
Date: 08/09/05 Title: Chapter 1: One-shot
hahahaha That was so funny. I loved it! I can't really pick up the best part in it though McGonagall and Snape were the funniest. Great! I hope you submit your sequel soooooon! 10/10
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'll try to get the sequel up soon. My plot bunny is still trying to work out all the details.
The Night That Started It All by mrsgeorgeweasley
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Final Chapter now available!
This is an offshoot of my main story Harry Potter and the Girl Who Lived. You’ll probably need to read that for this to make any real sense to you but please don’t let that stop you from perusing it. This is about the night that Voldemort started his assault on the Potter family. Over two hundred reads, yay!
Date: 08/06/05 Title: Chapter 1: The First Night
I loved it better than TGWL. Little Ellie was charming as she is now. Great work!
Author's Response: Better that TGWL, that's a lot coming from you, i know how much you love the main story! Little Ellie was certainly a charmer and while her bite is a little more venemous now she hasn't changed all that much!
Date: 08/06/05 Title: Chapter 2: Coming After The Girl
I was almost on the verge of tears and considering that I'm not the emotional type, you did a great job. Post next chapter soon! 10/10
Author's Response: I'm really glad that everyone is connecting with the heightened emotion in this fic. Thank you for a wonderful review, the next chapter is awaiting validation as we speak, it's been in there a couple of days so hopefully *crosses everything she can possibly cross* it'll be up soon! Have yourself a nice big cookie!
Date: 08/14/05 Title: Chapter 3: The Final Night.
The chapter's simply great! I loved it! Little Ellie and Harry are just as fascinating as they are now! 10/10
Author's Response: Thank you Miss Padfoot!
The Severed Souls by Magical Maeve
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Summary : The sequel to Daughter of Light. Maeve has a very bad end to her honeymoon as things come to light about Severus that astound her. Why is her husband so keen to keep Draco Malfoy alive at all costs and can she really get over her loathing of Narcissa Malfoy to work together to save both Severus and Draco from the fate that Voldemort would like to inflict on them? Why is Harry so furtive and will Neville save the day when Maeve’s necklace is returned to her by her father. Oh, and our favourite bad-boy Auror is back!
There has been rather a long break in the writing of the story due to work commitments, but I'm back on the case and hoping to get it finished - if there's anyone left still reading!! :-)
Date: 05/06/06 Title: Chapter 23: Unearthing the Truth
Oh, wow! I just can't wait to see how the Snape-Harry encounter goes. Poor Maeve, amazing she puts up with everyone shouting at her, seeing as it's not really in her nature... but given the circumstances, it's quite understandable.
And poor Albert Gryps, I really feel bad for him. He's never kept well, and the news about Severus' parentage is quite interesting. Hope Maeve and Severus get to him before the poor guy dies.
And what is Severus going to do about producing Harry's body? Ah, well... he's at least got some time before Voldemort returns. Maybe he could slip Harry the Draught of Living Death or summat... but I just can't see Harry agreeing to that. Anyway, I'm rambled on enough I think, update soon, Jan!
Date: 01/31/06 Title: Chapter 19: Heirs and Graces
Finally made it! I have to say that I’m enjoying this better than the Daughter of Light, and that’s surely saying something. I loved how you cleverly introduced Dumbledore’s death into the story. Your style of writing is something I enjoy and envy (in a good way), it flows so easily.
I love how you write Narcissa especially, you capture all her emotions very beautifully, and of all the others, I love Narcissa the best.
And poor Maeve, she seems to become a sort of magnet for Horcruxes, doesn’t she? Wonder why that is... guess I’ll have to read on to find out.
And I like the way you did Remus’ marriage as well, the poor guy needs to settle down, after all. And Harry’s characterisation is also great. I can just see him screaming that he doesn’t get to do anything, and his realisation that he needs Romance as well is good.
Back to Snape. He seems to be in a worse mood these days. What with the threatening from Lugh Lamfada and Voldemort setting him a task to kill Harry, and protecting Maeve in the middle of all these, the guy’s got more on his plate than he can chew. Hope he manages it. Anyway, after all that rambling, there’s one more thing I want to add: I loved the descriptions of the Black House you put in. Interesting. One last thing: Update soon! I’ll go read the Potions Master of Azkaban now! (Ignoring the angry looks from my mother)
Oh, I almost forgot: 10/10!

Is Crucio the only way Harry could have got rid of Ron? I can't understand. Does Harry really become evil or what's happening? And, Were Vernon and Dudley killed by Voldemort? Hope you explain it in the next chapter. And, great story!
Author's Response: I don't think I'll write the story out as Voldemort having been the killer of Uncle Vernon and Dudley. I've planned some surprises for this story. I haven't thought out the whole thing about their murder.

Good chapter! The way you introduced the characters was very good. Update soon!
Author's Response: second chapter was submitted 2 days ago, so it should be out soon!!
Author's Response: I'm really sorry, but I need to rewite my chapter, so I might be a bit slow on the updates!

Oh! so romantic! Wish you would write more one-shots like this! 10/10

OMG!! I laughed from the beginning till the end! Hope you do more like this! 10/10
Author's Response: I'm glad to hear it! My head is actually swimming with ideas for a new one, so keep a look out :) Thanks for the 10!
Date: 10/12/05 Title: None
You've got me interested into the story. Like the Half Blood Prince said, don't make her a stereotype OC who just barges into Hogwarts. You said you have a good reason for that. I'm looking forward to find out the circumstances under which she couldn't come to Hogwarts. And, just a little reminder, Jo said Draco was an only child, so maybe you could make her a cousin, or your fic could be AU. Anyway, keep the good work going.
Author's Response: Thanks. I love your stories too and I can't wait for the next chapter! Yeah, thanks for reminding me the Draco's an only child. Later in the story everyone will find out why Bree couldn't come to Hogwarts earlier. Thanks for reviewing!
Charlie's Angel by Jenn_Weasley

Date: 10/02/05 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
OMG! That had to be one of the longest one-shot I've ever read! *not complaining though, seeing as it's one of the best too* I loved the way you switched emotions without being actually seen, beginning from Angst, to Romance to Humour, there was so much variety in it. It was so realistic, Jenn, great job! 10/10 *straight into my faves*
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It was a lovely start to my Monday morning to come in and read your review. I really appreciate it!

Well, it's a great story. You've made a great start and the story shows lots of promise. Importantly, it was hilarious:)
These were the lines I enjoyed the most:
“I know it’s yours, dummy, it has your name on it big enough!”
“So your headache, Potter, is in your stomach?” McGonagall said.
However, I noticed a few things that might help you. Please don't be annoyed with me for that. :)
“Oh, I was just telling my Uncle Vernon how incredibly fit our new Darks Arts teacher is,” It should be Dark Arts here.
“WHATT?” Ron spluttered. There's no need for a double t here. Maybe it would read better if it was "W-What?" Ron spluttered.
“Riiiiiiight,” Ron slurred. Again, it would be better if there's just one i. The adjective 'slurred' itself explains the thing.
Once again, your story's great. Keep writing more.
Author's Response: Yeah, the double T was a mistake, and hey, i appreciate your review. All authors need an outsider's opinion. Thanks for reviewing!

Over 1500 reads!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Date: 10/07/05 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
I loved your story, especially the likening of shattered glass to Hermione's eyes. It was humorous as well as romantic. Just a few things, though. :) "The waitress returned to the table with the check." Shouldn't it be cheque? There were also many Americanisms in it, like “Geez! What are you guys doing?” Britishers don't say, Geez, do they? I'm not too sure... But still, I loved their little adventure, especially the simile :) Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you! I always like your reviews. I thought about the "Geez" thing when I wrote it. But none of the Brittish explecitves that I know sounded right coming out of her mouth. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read and review. I really appreciate it!!!

Date: 10/17/05 Title: Chapter 2: Darkness
Interseting story. It began with angst and the war and all, but Ginny dying was sad. Poor Harry! Where's Ron, BTW? Is he dead? If he's still alive, how did he react to Ginny's death? Update soon.
Author's Response: Thank you. I feel bad for Harry, too, but I had to do it. Sorry! Ron is not dead. I believe that he actually did talk to Harry in chapter 2. I also said that he did not react to Ginny's death very well. It won't leave him alone. Anyway, chapter 3 is up and I'm working on chapter 4. Thanks, again.
