My name is Madeline. I am thirteen years old and in Year eight. I live in Melbourne, Australia.
I have told stories to all my life and have continued to keep it up through writing. I hope to one day write a full length novel for teenagers and adults alike to read. But that won't be happening anytime soon, I don't expect.

My Deliverance by TwinSuns
Rated: Professors •
Summary: Voldemort's rising reign of terror, NEWTs, death attempts, a Headship, a tangled affair with James Potter, hilarity, grief, love, secrecy, maddness... it's almost hard to believe that I've survived to graduate. I am Lily Evans, and this is my 7th year.
Date: 04/07/08 Title: Chapter 11: Interlude V
Another good Interlude. Best line below:
“No Ministry report will be necessary.”
I would be celebrating if it was me. But, hey, it's not.
I like Frank. He's a good character to have a view from.
And the abandoned department store is also an ideal Order Headquarters.
Anyway, Keep up the good work. 10/10 - I'll tell you another day.

Date: 04/07/08 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter Six: Intrigue
Lily's a curious type; I never doubted that. But this chapter, more then any, have made me realise this.
Best line:
"She's not going to be satisfied, mate, until she pours over it for three days straight, has it memorized, and walks down every passage herself." He winked playfully at me. "Despite all of the secrecy and subterfuge, may we finally present," said Sirius proudly, "The Marauder's Map."
Don't ask why this is the best line, because I don't know, but it is.
Keep up the good work. 10/10 (I promise to explain one day)

Date: 04/07/08 Title: Chapter 13: Interlude VI
I was a little confused at the end of this chapter. One minute, it seemed that Frank was at Azkaban, the next it seemed that he was at Hogwarts. It's probably just me, but I was slightly confused.
Best line: Can't find one, but not to worry, I'm sure there will always be more.
Keep up the good work. 10/10

Date: 04/05/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter One: Lost in Thought
And if those someone’s happen to be a certain double-act everyone knows and loves, try not to kill them, would you? Keep in mind, dear, that besides the fact they’re excellent duelers (as they are unfortunately so keen on demonstrating in the halls) and we’ll need them to watch our backs sooner or later, they’re also a faithful form of entertainment.
The above line is one of my favourites. Also, the whole story is.
Keep up the good work. 10/10
~ Parchment and Quill
P.S. I'm in the works of writing a Marauders Era fic and needed some inspiration for Lily's names. Emmeline Vance is definitely going on my list of maybes now. Hope you don't mind *LOL*
10/10 - excellent, nothing else to say.
~ Parchment and Quill
P.P.S. Sorry for the rambling
Date: 04/05/08 Title: Chapter 3: Interlude I
Hmm, Interlude. A nice idea that I'm glad you're incorporating into this story.
“Alice—have you seen the way Ernie drives? And in this traffic, too.” - lol! I just kept thinking of prisoner of azkaban (the movie) and Harry slamming into the window and the little old lady when he's in the knight bus.
Keep up the good work. 10/10
~ Parchment and Quill
Date: 04/05/08 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter Two: A Missing Piece
I haven't got a favourite line this time round. It's note that I didn't like the chapter - far from it. It was just that it was so.... I don't know.
Keep up the good work. 10/10
I hope the solemn mood doesn't last too long.
~ Parchment and Quill
Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 5: Interlude II
I like this Interlude better then the first one. But that's probably because I didn't like reading with anticipation and all.
Anyway, this was an excellent chapter. Keep up the good work. 10/10 - Excellent all round. One of the best Marauder Era fic's I've ever read. (And I've read a lot so it's saying something. *LOL*)
No good lines in this one. It's sober, that's for sure.
~ Parchment and Quill
Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter Three: Through Unveiled Eyes
What's up with James? I would do a lot of things to know. I think his parents died in that fight that Frank got in, to be honest.
So, another good chapter. I really do like it. I hope you understand how well this story is written. It really is a 10/10 story.
The line below is the best line.
“It’s best to get the bollocks out of the way up front and stop fooling yourself, if you know what I mean.”
- strait to the point with it.
Keep up the good work.
~ Parchment and Quill
Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 7: Interlude III
Oh, darn, I was wrong. Oh well.
Another good Interlude. There all good, but this one especially.
Best line is below:
All he did was frown slightly. “That’s... intriguing,” he mused,
It's an interesting line.
Keep up the good work. As always now - 10/10
~ Parchment and Quill
Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter Four: Face Off
I just realised something I should of realised chapters ago; you have excellent description. *bangs head on table*
Well, now that I've come to that realisation, I can tell you my favourite lines (yes, we have two this time):
1. “It’s much less complicated,” I muttered to myself as the sunset faded to darkness and I was left staring at my own reflection in the windowpane, “to just be mad at him.”
2. James Bleeding Potter.
So, now that's out of the way, I want to tell you that this story is one of the best I've ever read (My read count is in the thousands by now) and that, even from what little I've read, I'll remember this story.
Keep up the good work. 10/10 - I'm not explaining all the reasons now, there's too many.
~ Parchment and Quill
Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 9: Interlude IV
A little confusing this chapter. Even after a re-read. But hey, maybe it's just me.
Anyway, I did find a line that I liked in here.
... simple session of what the more experienced Aurors dubbed “an exercise in building character”.
(If you read Holes then you'll get my amusement in the latter half of that line.)
Keep up the good work. As always, 10/10

Vertigo by Lioness06
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Lily liked stability and security in her life. As Lily enters into her seventh year at Hogwarts, she’s eager to be surrounded once again by the same friends, students, classes, professors, and rules. Instead she finds her thoughts in disorder and feelings toward a particular Gryffindor student whirling dizzyingly around in her mind. It all started, and where this story begins, at the end of Lily’s sixth year where an unexpected conversation brings to light new information.
Date: 05/11/08 Title: Chapter 1: Spectemur agendo
It's a nice first chapter. I especially liked the first few paragraph's where you described Hogwarts - it was well done!
Keep up the good work.
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thanks! The story is complete. I hope you check out the rest of the chapters, and let me know what you think!

Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
All is not well.

Ahh, wouldn't all mother's who go into pre-term labour love to go to a wizarding hospital.
Well, I have to say that I've spent most of my day reading this story and that I really like it. Keep up the good work and update soon. I want to know what happens!
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response:
Thank you for spending your day reading the story!
Wouldn't all mothers love to have magical powers! :D Instantly clean those dirty diapers....
There's a couple of celebrations on the way!
Date: 05/16/08 Title: Chapter 1: Pain and Comfort
Wouldn't that be going over board?
Anyway, I am fully aware of the life-isn't-fair concerpt. (my life is riddled in it).
And Fred.... don't even get me started!
I like it when you reply back, it makes me happy. :)
Oh, and I think a little Boo Jo! is allowed. I mean, I'm still waiting for that encylopedia to come out! I want to know Harry's great-great fathers, mothers, great grandfathers, mothers first name. I mean, come on!
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response:
It won't be going overboard. Wait and see. ^_~
I'm the opposite, thinking 'if you didn't put the information into the books, no fair throwing massive spanners into the works of all fan fiction writers now--it's not literary canon!' Not that she cares about my opinion in the slightest, LOL.
Date: 05/07/08 Title: Chapter 33: Celebrations
Post Epilogue Revelations Disregarded indeed. Because if we went completely be canon, this would be Angelina not Alicia who's going to marry George. Really don't care though.
I must say that I am most certainly enjoying this story and it's continuation would be most appreiative.
Of course, if you would like to see me turn out like Winky you wouldn't be so kind, but that's totally your choice.
Now, I think George would become an excellent godfather, despite is predictions. But hey, that's me.
Loved it. Love the story and Alicia now (I must admit to not really caring about her but now do) . Keep up the good work.
10/10
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response:
I couldn't write George/Angelina because it's a match made in therapy. So unhealthy on so many levels, I wish Jo had left all the loose ends of the series up to reader imagination. There's a thing called literary canon. I'm a great believer in it, and that it's the only *true* canon. Not many agree with me....LOL
Writers who don't complete stories live with guilt I don't want to imagine, so I'll happily complete the story, although the thought of you swaying with Caper, swigging Butterbeer in between bites of chocolate is very grin-worthy!
I agree with you about George, but he doesn't see the big picture like we do. ;) As for Alicia, thank you so much! She's almost an OFC because her character is barely more than a name in the books. There's no description, only a few mentions, no dialogue, even. (I'm 99% percent sure) George is the one readers already love, while she's a virtual stranger at the beginning of the story. For you to care about her now makes so happy! (Did I say thank you? :)
Date: 06/10/08 Title: Chapter 37: Pictures of You
I love this story, I loved this chapter, and really would love it if you updated soon!
Keep up the good work. 10/10
Oh, that song you had in the Author's notes is on a 'don't speed' add here in australia and it makes me cry every time I see it. So, I found it funny some how that you added that part in the end.
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thank you! The Cure is classic and that song all-purpose angst. :) That's a good use for it, and a don't drink and drive campaign would be, too.
Date: 05/15/08 Title: Chapter 34: What's in a Name?
Nice chapter. A Romainian fantasy, intersting concept.
Two honeymoons, now that's just not fair. Can I say that? Even if I'm still considered to young to date (13 turning 14 in November, not that young, but still).
Keep up the good work and update soon! I was so happy when I came home to find that I had an update!
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response:
Thank you for being happy to have an update!
If life was fair, Fred would be alive, (Boo Jo! *have to do that every once in awhile, heh) but since life isn't fair, I'll tell you that isn't their last honeymoon, LOL.
Date: 05/29/08 Title: Chapter 35: Something Borrowed, Something Blue
Nice... not much more then I can say right now. I'm a little tried and it's only 8.30pm!
shocker!
Keep up the good work, love the story!
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response:
Have you been burning the candle at both ends or not taking vitamins? :D I hope you have sweet dreams, because you're sweet to review, even when you're tired!
