Moment of Clarity by Melindaleo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A HBP Missing Moment (so beware, spoilers ahead). Ron told Harry that Ginny had visited the hospital wing while he'd been unconscious. We know what Harry's overactive subconscious imagined happened during that visit...but what was Ginny thinking?
Date: 09/19/05 Title: Chapter 1: Moment of Clarity
This was amazing. Well done! You reallly captured Ginnys essence and maintained the integrity of the story (no outlandish additions). Your addition of the Ron/Hermione situation was subtle yet was an excellent setup (for book seven)!
Excellent writing a definate 10!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was really fun to do Ginny's POV.
Everywhere Else Is Full by saveginny417
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Sure, the tales of the Trio are great, and I'm not denying it. But what happens after the end of their story? Death, deception, and disagreements, to name a few things. Join Cora Potter, along with her best friends Olivia and Drew, during their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry- and I can guarantee that you will never see the HP universe the same way again.
Chapter eleven is being painfully slow, isn't it? I promise to have it done by the time the queue reopens!
Date: 11/12/05 Title: Chapter 2: First Glances and Second Chances
Your mother did an excellent job! I like how you are portraying everyone thus far, it's very reminescent of their predecessors! So Drew is like Luna...hmmm interesting!
Author's Response: my mum says thanks! the mod who approved this for me said he liked that part best, and it totally went to her head. I sent chapter 3 to my beta this week and I hope to get it back soon, but because of the time difference (she's 13 hours ahead of me) that probably won't happen. thanks for continuing to review!
Date: 11/01/06 Title: Chapter 8: Celebrations and Consequences
First of all, WHOOT WHOOT! Go Drew! Does a dance with Olivia *get ur man girlfriend!* Second of all *SHOCKED INHALE OF BREATH* Who's dead? Who! And what was in Cora's letter? What could be so bad??? Oh and that darned voice again!!! How dare it interrupt poor Cora's self-pity fest? By the way...I'm so totally proud of you for that spectacular Quidditch sequence that you wrote! It was just like a JKR game! I'm very very impressed!!! Ohhh and KuDoS on the big update...I'm so glad that your writers block was pushed aside! Ahem........WHO IS DEAD!!!
Author's Response: RANIA!!!!! OMG yay! ok, Juli, moving on... why is everyone assuming all this shipping nonsense? I *ahem* don\'t have anything to do with that...*I\'m sorry, Joe. really!* as for the dead person... well, I\'ve decided to be nice and say that there was a MAJOR clue to that on my profile a while back, but it is gone now... let\'s find out who the diligent readers are! yes, that awful voice... to tell you the truth, I almost forgot about that thing until my reviewers *ahem* reminded me... self-pity fest. that pretty much describes my life right there.
Author's Response: I wasn\'t done but I hit the button by mistake... QUIDDITCH! IS THE BEST THING EVER! Cyril Whitney would probably have to be one of the coolest kids I\'ve ever invented... pity he doesn\'t really have a purpose... NO MORE WRITERS BLOCK! EVER! un-updation will now always be due to procrastination and/or frustration and/or lack of writing time and/or all of the above. BUT NO WRITERS BLOCK! I refuse to fall victim to it! HA! *I still haven\'t gotten off that sugar high...* Thanks for the brilliant review, Rania! *is still totally in awe of the Wise Owl\'s magnificence*
Date: 11/01/06 Title: Chapter 8: Celebrations and Consequences
Oh yeah and definately...HAHAHA DEAN IS INEPT!!!
Author's Response: Boo-yah. that is definitely my sole reason for living. to make Dean pointless.
Date: 06/29/06 Title: Chapter 5: The First Letter
This is so strange! Why did Tonks chose NOW to reveal to Olivia that she is not her real mother? And Tonks has been acting non-magical since she got Olivia? Ohhh and where’s Lupin? Do they not end up together in your story? As for Olivia, the two more powerful wizards were Harry and Voldie right? What did the professor say to make her so happy? Whose child is she (really?) Ohhh my head is spinning, but well done!
Author's Response: RANIA!!!! HI!!!! I think the answer to most of your questions is yes. except for the Lupin one. I forgot about him! ahhh! don\'t worry, I\'ll work him in somehow! Most of the answers are revealed in later chapters that are already posted. If not, they will be soon! Oh, and welcome back!
Date: 06/29/06 Title: Chapter 6: Quidditch for the Ages
This chapter is very nicely written. I’m beginning to have suspicions about Olivia’s lineage. Could she be related to Vicky? Krum that is ;) As for Dean (yes I know how you love him so!) It looks as though we’ve got another Lockhart on our hands now doesn’t it? What about that voice that Cora heard? And just who is this Drew guy? Is he like Neville? Or Luna maybe? A combo package? I’m excited to find out more about the characters…hope you’ll answer these questions soon!!! Oh and go Olivia! You made the team *WHOOT WHOOT!!!*
Author's Response: What time zone is MNFF on anyway? 5 AM???? Dean.... don\'t worry, he will be amply prosecuted soon... (If anyone who likes Dean Thomas is reading this story, STOP NOW. It\'s not worth it.) as for Drew, he\'s Luna\'s son but NOT RELATED TO NEVILLE. I\'m sorry for all you Luna/Neville shippers (and I kind of agree with you), but I decided not to do that in here. Thanks again Rania!
Date: 06/29/06 Title: Chapter 7: Drew's Dilemma
Okey dokey I say we go with a quidditch match…Yes I want to get into the story but even I felt obliged to add them in my story (it’s tradition hun!) You’ll be shocked just how difficult it is to write them (mainly it’s keeping all the characters and their actions/positions straight that’s the problem!) Ohhh okay onto the review!!! Spinnet!!! I just realized that’s ALICIA Spinnet!!! *Smacks forehead* Sometimes I can be so thick!!! Ok so she is a teacher at Hogwarts as well! Ok nix the Krum theory (or don’t, if it’s right ;) ) Let’s seeeeee, so Drew and Olivia sitting in a tree…k…i…s…s…i…well you know how it goes! I see that we’ve chosen who his love interest will be so I must ask you who is gonna be Cora’s? And when are we gonna see that Malfoy again? I kinda have a bittersweet hope that you somehow get the two together! I have no clue why but rereading this story has put that in my mind! Keep writing!!! I’ll just sit here twiddling my thumbs waiting for an update (twiddle de twiddle dum)…!!!
Author's Response: Quidditch it is! The great and powerful Wise Owl commandeth it, and so it shall becometh! *that was odd* Am nixing the Krum theory... although that was a good one! Oh! The Malfoy kid! I forgot about him too! thanks for reminding me... have to put him back in too. As for updating, you might have to wait a bit on this one *coughwritersblockcough*, but I have a one-shot H/G that I will be submitting in the next... five miuntes! look out for it! Thanks again Rania!
Date: 10/11/05 Title: Chapter 1: Close Encounters of the Humiliating Kind
A very interesting start, this fanfic could really go some where! That Olivia business should get interesting (I'm sure). I'm willing to bet that Drew will develop a fondess for one of the girls *winks*? I'll make sure to keep reading!
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it. I have about a paragraph left of chapter 2 to write and then it's off to my beta! Olivia and Drew are both based on real people that have nothing to do with each other, but, hmm. Ron and Hermione were the same way. Thanks for reviewing!
Date: 11/19/05 Title: Chapter 3: Voices and Instincts
Nicely done! I liked the whole Jupiter reference. Thomas huh? Could it be Dean Thomas? This is getting very interesting. I wonder what he'll have to teach them...and why is Cora so bothered by him!?! You really are doing an excellent job very JK style writing! 10/10
Author's Response: thanks for reviewing again! I like the Jupiter part best too, even though that's why this got denied the first time... ah well. Sorry about the extensive use of the word bother. I've watched Potter Puppet Pals way more times than is good for me. Wow! you think I write like Jo! that's a really high compliment. thakns!
Date: 01/30/06 Title: Chapter 4: Unknown Forces
Strange...very strange! Was the Voldies voice...could it possibly be??? And that letter made Olivia so upset! What was in it!?!? As for Dean's teaching abilities (hahaha)! I expect the next chapter up soon missy!!! Ohhh that voice could have been Snape right? Cora hasn't been in Potions yet has she? Dang it! Now I'm going to keep thinking about it! 10/10 for you...update soon!!!
Author's Response: yes, strange indeed? what does the letter say? whose voice was that? who'll be the newest Gryffindor Quidditch player???(that was a hint) No, no potions yet, but keep in mind that although it may not say straight out, all the events of HBP have happened. *coughcough* like i said, i'll try to have the next chappie up faster, but there really is no gaurantee, especially if my english teacher keeps changing the essay topic! so far i think i've written six thesises, at least. :( you update too!
Date: 04/17/07 Title: Chapter 9: Questions and Answers
Ahem..........Brilliant...........of course!!! I love how mysterious Ms. Olivia turns out to be the one with Tonks (when I first was reading this I thought you had mixed up your characters! Surely you meants Harry's kid, but alas....you did well and have added all the more intrigue to this story!!!) Oh and Josh Dartman? Who's Josh Dartman? Sorry but I'm rooting for a Malfoy / Potter catastrophe here! I don't know why!!! Maybe you described their dislike so well that .... oh the possibilities!!!! As always well done (oh and Drew is hilarious) and much love from the OwL!
Author's Response: yaaaaay thanks Rania! intrigue is good, right? Josh Dartman is one of the other Gryffindor boys... Cora has a pre- chapter 7 Drew/Olivia-esque realtionship with him. gee, Juli, how descriptive... all thanks to you, of course, for getting this chapter up! much love to you too, and thanks for the review! tee hee I rhymed...
Dear Dumby by Oppungo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: What happens when Dumbledore has his latest "brilliant" idea, to start an advice column, and call it 'Dear Dumby'? Letters from some of our favourite Hogwarts students, some of our not so favourite Hogwarts students, some not even Hogwarts students at all, and, of course, lots of madness!
Pre-HBP for obvious reasons!
Nominee for the Best Humour Award in the Quicksilver Quill Awards! Many thanks to all who voted for it!
Date: 01/06/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Notice
This was awesome! What an inventive idea! I loved it when the boys were tossing around ideas (and their reactions!) Ron and lunch...how funny! 10/10 you did a great job!
Author's Response: Thanks!! Yeah, I enjoyed writing about the boys getting side tracked and stuff!! And thanks for the 10!
Date: 01/07/06 Title: Chapter 2: Dear Dumby - Issue 1
OMG how funny! Poor Ron! I hope you have Hermione soon! AND FILCH! THAT WAS INSPIRED! Ok I gotta continue reading! 10/10!!!
Author's Response: Lol!!! I'm inspired!!! Woo-hoo!!! Yes, by all means continue reading, you might just find a letter from Hermione...
Date: 01/07/06 Title: Chapter 3: Headbanging - Not To Be Taken Literally
Wowwww! You write Ron and Hermione's bickering/emotions so well!!! Another 10/10 for you but I'm moving on to the next chappie!
Author's Response: Thanks!! I'm kinda thinking of doing a Ron/Hermione story after this, so I'm glad you think I've got them down well!! And YAY!! Another 10!!
Date: 01/07/06 Title: Chapter 4: Dear Dumby - Issue 2
Dumbledore advising trouble...the Minister of Magic...and SNAPE!!! How utterly amusing!!! If you would like I would love to make a banner for your story! You can see my own banners on my bio! I really hope you update soon!!!
Author's Response: Lol, inspiring and utterly amusing!! It's a good day for me!! Thanks!!! And thank you very much for the banner offer, but Hedwigs Queen has already very nicely made one for me, but thank you very much!!!! Chapter 5 is in queue!!
Date: 01/14/06 Title: Chapter 5: Ah, The High Road
Parvati will use RON and Hermione will become JEALOUS!!! The two will confess their feelings in the heat of the moment!!!!! Malfoy will lose his cronies as Crabbe develops a fondness for Milicent and Goyle will be too busy picking his nose to notice! Great update...keep it up!!!
Author's Response: Wow, you are a really good guesser!! Not that all those things are going to happen...well, some of them might...but some of them might not!! Lol, I'm glad you liked it, I'll try to keep it up!! Thanks for reviewing!
Date: 12/04/05 Title: None
Definately things that F&G would give to Percy...the git! Well-done :)
Secret Sorrow by LydiaNightingale
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Written in response to Challenge One
"People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone."- Audrey Hepburn
It's New Year's Eve, late at night, and most of the world is out and about, except for two people. One person is lost emotionally, perhaps beyond all mortal repair, and another one is up, unable to sleep, just sitting. What happens when the two meet?
Date: 11/26/05 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
Amazing! Awesome job, really left me speechless. Your detail is so precise! It really blew my mind. I noticed you were in Hufflepuff. I'll be submitting a contest entry for Hufflepuff as well...Go team!!! Good luck in the contest! 10/10
No One Can Save You From Yourself by Slian Martreb
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Entered for the Redemption Challenge by Slian Martreb of Ravenclaw. Set on New Year's of Harry's fourth year, this is the tale of what happens to two men who loved too much.
(SSP warning, and one character gets roaring drunk)
Edit 1/17: Oh. And it won. The challenge. *smug*
Date: 12/02/05 Title: Chapter 1: Drinking and Drowning
The story is a bit here, there, and everywhere...which is just how Sirius must be feeling. He seems to be slowly spiraling into insanity and clearly living in the past. This was well-written if a bit confusing at times.
Author's Response: *mystical voice* It is a reflection of Sirius's drunken state. It is clearly metaphorical and--' Well, that's what my beta would say anyway, Lol. It'll make sense as it goes on, don't worry. Expect lots of laughs in the next chapter...Thanks for reading!
Reading the Stars by UnnamedElement
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: One thing can tear a person apart. One thing can kill a person, in a sense, yet they still live on. But one person can also fix a person. They can bring someone once dead, back to life. After the final battle, there’s a lot of this to be done, especially in those close to the deceased. The trio loses someone, and Hermione’s not coping well. Can someone crack her shell? Who will make her whole again—or at least try to do so? Written for Redemption Challenge. Hufflepuff. One-shot.
Date: 12/02/05 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One
It's a bit tedious to be in Hermione's head isn't it? She's right though, Ron does have the emotional range of a teaspoon. As for the story, it seemed odd for Tonks to do the redeeming. I almost wanted to ask 'shouldn't she and Lupin be together for new years eve?'
Anyhow, your writing, word usage, and grammer were great!
Author's Response: I knew that would come around. Well, I suppose I was trying to impose the idea that even after the war, when people should be as close as they were during it, people are distant, a feeling of unfinished buisiness, if you will. I was going for the more subdued feeling. As always, things don't work out as they should. I'll try to specify next time. I suppose I could have included that in the opening paragraphs. As for Tonks doing the redeeming, it seemed unlikely enough to be highly likely. Anyway, I very much appreciate the constructive review. Cheers~
