Author's Response: Thanks! I'll send you....6? whenever. Been superbusy. Talk 2 ya soon. --Maddy(:

wOw! Okay, I'll admit that I'm not much of a Lavender fan. Okay, so I totally despise the character, but the way you wrote her, actually made me feel a twinge of pity for the girl. Great job!

Author's Response: Awww...thanks Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy that this is up! I cannot tell you how long I've been trying to get this up onto MFF. Thank you for your review! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! ~MJ

Congratulations! I'm glad to see this up. It is very good:) --ginnygirl16

Author's Response: Thanks you again for helping! This side story was a lot of fun!

Congratulations, Melissa! Great job on the story, I love how unique it is. :) --ginnygirl16

Author's Response: Thanks! And thanks for being a wonderful beta. :D

Wow! This is really scientific. I'm going to have to take a break and try and figure it all out! Great chapter, you've got me interested. I think my favorite line was The project began with Lee, who noticed the plastic buds in the ears of almost all of the people he saw during a three-month stint of having to travel on the Underground while his Apparition license was suspended.

Haha, isn't that just like Lee too? Anyways, I can't wait to see more. You did an excellent job with this, and I love how you went through all the generations. Brilliant!

Author's Response: Credit for anything that's acurate to the real world in this story should probably go to Wikipedia - it's a resource that I think people are still having trouble figuring out exactly how to go about using it. Anything about the magical "science" is just my fabrication, though. But as for more... this chapter stands alone, I'm afraid. Everything I really wanted to say about this particular point in the future, I said. I'm glad you liked it, though - thankyou for reviewing.

Ooooh. I have to review this.

I loved all these little tid-bit romances, it was refreshing, and even though it was a one-shot, I'm sure you could definitley expand on each one and turn it into a series of one-shots. I honestly did enjoy this, and the fact that you went through almost every generation with different images was very clever, and brilliantly written.

One of my favorites was your first one, Molly/Arthur. I really wish there were more of those ones out there. I've only ever read one chaptered fic with this pairing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. You kept the both of them in character, and it was so refreshing to see a care-free Weasley family.

Hmm...Rose/Scorpius, contrary to popular opinion, I'm not a huge fan of this pairing. I usually prefer Lily Luna/Scorpius over this one, but I think you have done a good job of making both the characters very real to us. I also liked how you didn't make Scorpius a copy of his father. The SPEW comment, definitley made me laugh. It was so well done, and original.

First house. Yes, that would be a very important day for James and Lily. In fact, I never thought you would use such a simple concept for these two, but I did enjoy the normality of it. One where there was no Sirius, no Voldemort, no Harry. Just the two of them. And the line where you said the house was 'so-very Lily' was excellent. Totally James.

I usually put in some critism in these reviews, but I am having a hard time coming up with any for you. Your characterization, description, dialogue, plot, was all very good. I am glad that you avoided all the cliches and truly made this story your own.

Great job with this. I look forward to reading more from you.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you for a marvellous review! When I was writing this I was actually thinking about how I could turn some of them into oneshots, especially the R/Hr and R/S. :) I'm pleased you liked the Molly/Arthur - that pairing is an absolute joy to write, and I agree that you don't see enough of them. I actually have a oneshot on them up, if you're interested ... >.> And yay for liking the Rose/Scorpius even though you're not a big fan. I take it as a compliment. :) Thank you again. This review put a wonderful smile on my face.

Carole, I really enjoyed this. I've actually been stalking your character class for a while now, so I couldn't miss the chance to review this.

I absolutley adore the relationship you have written between Oliver and Cedric. The way you wrote it made it quite believable. (Hmm... this sounds strangely like the comments you have recieved in class.) I also love the tiny inserts with his father, it explains Oliver's passion for Quidditch, while at the same time gives him a reason for his (for lack of a better word) obsession.

There was one spot where you wrote the twins as they trudged out of the Gryffindor Changing room. Should it not be changing room? I might be wrong, but I never thought 'Changing' was capitalized before.

Anyways, I think you ended it perfectly. You had a solid beginning, middle, and end with a good plot in between. You've done an amazing job with the character, and I would love to see you write more Oliver. (*Wink wink, nudge nudge)

~ginnygirl16~

Author's Response: Thanks Sarah, I appreciate the review and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. As this was for characterisation class, I'm very pleased you thought Oliver was well portrayed. I do want to write a follow up - possibly from Cedric's POV. And you're right about Changing room so I shall change that now. ta lots ~Carole~

Hello, Carole!

I want to start off by saying that you did a wonderful job. I've always thought that Professor McGonagall had a special place for the Marauders and it was quite fitting to write a story on them from her POV. You kept her marvelously in character, while at the same time I saw different qualities in her, which made the story very enjoyable. Her advice was sound, and seemed perfect to whom she was speaking to at the time.

One of my favorite lines: Don’t be a follower all your life, Peter. You need to carve out your own niche – perhaps at the Ministry. After all, Potter and Black won’t be by your side for the rest of your life.”

I think this was perfect. It somewhat connects Peter with what he will do after Hogwarts, by becoming a Death Eater, while at the same time can be read and mean a different thing completley. I actually read the line twice, and the first time my mind jumped to the DE Peter, but the second time, it seemed like proper advice to give to someone like him which was perfect.

I think particularly, the interview with Remus was very well done. I know that I had tears in my eyes after reading it, and you captured the emotions, the pain, everything very well.

Now, one thing that I'm not to sure about is how quickly Professor McGonagall jumps down Sirius idea of becoming an Auror. I know that you provided good reasoning, and I'm glad that his surname wasn't the only reason for him not becoming an Auror, but from what I read, it seemed to me if McGonagall was trying to discourage him as much as possible. I know that this is not what you intended for him, and I really liked the bit about the Whomping Willow incident at the end, but to me, it seemed as if Professor McGonagall wasn't think along the lines of best interest, but rather turning his idea down because of his school behaviour (which I'm sure probably was not the best most of the time;)).

James' interview: This was very good. I actually thought he was serious about playing professional Quidditch, and thought this was good to go away from the 'Auror' idea all of his friends had presented. When McGonagall first got angry about this idea, I thought it was in character, but rather exxagerated. That is, until I found it out he was just stringing her along. I admit to having chuckled a bit there, but I still think a professional Quidditch career could be quite plausible.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this. You did a good job avoiding all the cliches and at the same time did a wonderful job describing each of the characters and their reactions. Great job!

Author's Response: Hey, Sarah, thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked the interviews and that little line about Peter. Remus makes me sad as well. I did giggle at James when I was writing it - he's a bad boy at times. I agree he would have loved to be a Quidditch player (I have his dad as an old pro in my fic) but I wanted to show that he's starting to mature and knows there are more important things to be thinking about. Okay, Sirius, well I think she is discouraging him simply because she doesn't feel he is right to be an Auror. I know Harry is moderately reckless in his time at Hogwarts, but he's not as irresponsible as Sirius was (or his dad). The main difference between James and Sirius is that supposed prank - it could have led to Snape's death and I wanted to show that it still had consequences for Sirius. I also think McGonagall is rather hoping her words will make him grow up - perhaps they do - but he still particpates in the SWM scene *sigh*.

Thank you for the review - it's much appreciated - and very welcome. Carole xxx

Terri! I just wanted to pop in and say that I thought you did a marvelous job showing Remus' internal struggle. I loved how he seemed to be convincing himself that Sirius was the Death Eater although I could tell deep down that he didn't believe it.
The photos were a very nice touch. I actually cried at that part. The part with the little box was so creative and a lovely touch.
Over all I loved this story, and I think you did an excellent job.
