Here's your Easter Egg adn unlike most Easter Eggs this ones not going to make you sick (I hope).
“‘Accio Pancreas…’” LOL, never thought to summon body parts. very origanal.
The 'throwing Bendjamin Dover's truck at it' very funny. I have to say, your one weird person but you write the funniest story. And I certainly agree with the endign. I would keep you happy too. Out of fear for my life!
Oh, your story say's it's not complete. You must have forgotten to press the button. (Just letting you know)
Well done, and I hope you like the present.

G'day
I love this story. But through this story I've came to the conclution that your bonkers...and who doesn't love that? XD. My two most favorite parts where: Your dissition about what to use Harriet as. *Shakes head* Target practice? Really? And Harry slipping on a banana peal. How did you come up with them?
HEY ALICE!” Zigmond shouted to his pseudo-girlfriend over the cacophonic explosions and gorilla grunts. “IF WE MAKE IT OUT OF – STUPEFY! – THIS ALIVE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EAT OUT WITH ME AT HOGSMEADE THIS WEEKEND?”
...Even amidst the devastating storm of cannon fire, napalm, and lasers, Alice managed to smile. She screamed back, “ARE YOU – PROTEGO! – ASKING ME TO GO ON A DATE?”....
{Sorry, half my keyboards not working and I don't want to put your reveiws in bold or italic...again} Ahhh, like Pirates of the Carrabian, romance in a battle.
The last line was oh so perfect but I must say I am slightly disapointed. I wanted you to win, instead you come to a truse? All well, I was cheering for you in this part....
These people called themselves ‘Hippies’–”
“SHUT UP ALREADY!....
Thank you. Harry's heroic speak was annoying and incorrect. The hippies didn't treat EVERYONE as equals. The women were expected to... well lets just say they were seen as objects to be passed around.
Anyway, love the story, can't wait for the next one and I'm gunning for you to win.
...xXxLove SandyxXx...
Author's Response:
Greetings, Sandy!
I’m bonkers? What gave you that idea? Heh heh…
Like almost everything in this story, I have absolutely no idea how or why I decided to kill Harry Potter by having him slip on a banana peel. I probably chose it because it is probably the most ridiculous and least heroic way to die, and something very fitting for such an overblown hero like Super Harry Potter. I just had to make fun of the final duel between Harry and Voldemort in DH; it was so anti-climactic it wasn’t funny. Seriously, killing Voldemort with Expelliarmus? Super Harry deserved that fatal banana peel! And of course, who could resist Harry’s dramatic speechmaking? I can’t!
Well, thanks so much for liking this story and reviewing. Also, I’m happy that you rooted for me. I am touched.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MORE! THE NEXT CHAPTER IS IN THE QUEUE!

Ones again your naughsty...it is a fun word isnt it! it was a typo but now its affically my word! =) Anyway your naughsty because you didnt give them a mummy!...*giggles* but you did call miss smarty pants Hermione!...oops!
*Spits cookie crumbs everywhere*
"Professor Lupin had said very attractively " ohhh Volies going to be crushed! he said he had already picked out the names of your children! lmao
I have to say EWWWWW on the discription of the bullets going into the body's! I couldnt help but cringe.
"Is our author some weapons-crazed freak?” I wondered the same thing myself! The tecno stuff went over my head thats for sure!....I'm guessing you did research for this chapter...or are really good in class.
Oh and I noticed a typo I thought I'd tell you..."blow up for now reason at all" I think you mean no not now!
HILARIOUS!
...xXxBlack-SandxXx...
Author's Response:
ACK! You made all my reviews in bold! Now, let’s see if this works…
Is everything still bold?
Anyway, thanks for the review, Black Sand – once again, I am happy that you found this story amusing! And yes, I am a very naughsty author – alas, my characters have no mums to comfort them!
Indeed, the character of Meagan is a virtual clone of Hermione, and I see that you’ve noticed how other characters mistakenly called her that! That was totally intentional.
Fortunately for Volders, he does not have to compete with Teddy Lupin for my affection, which I am unwilling to grant to either. That would be… awkward, to say the least. My description of Teddy speaking “very attractively” simply referred to how popular he was with students of female persuasion, which I am obviously not. However, Voldemort’s behaviour is a little disturbing…
The slightly graphic descriptions of bullet impacts were just to show that although the story is still absurd, it has gotten much more serious in that the characters and the author are now literally at war. Speaking of which, the “deadly data” of the various Soviet weaponry is definitely not something taught in school! I didn’t do any research either, because everything about Soviet military equipment that appears in this chapter was already in my head! You see, I was the kind of boy who read tank encyclopaedias for “light reading” years ago… and I still do!
And thank you for spotting the typo; it has been fixed. Thanks again for reviewing!

Your naughsty Tim...but you gave me a laugh! You had my parents looking at me like 'what's she on?'
"Hey Tim – you are sexy. I want to have your babies"....oh scandeles!
LOL this story's well written, I've never read a story where the character knew they were characters!
...xXxBlack-SandxXx...
Author's Response:
“Naughsty?” That’s a word I haven’t heard before! Unless it’s a typo, it looks like a fascinating combination of ‘naughty’ and ‘nasty’ – sounds fun! Anyway, I’m glad this story made you laugh, Black-Sand and made your parents highly suspicious!
And who knew that Lord Volders was such a romantic? I didn’t – quite a shock when I found out! About the characters conscious of the fact that they’re characters… well, I can’t think of anything insightful to say at the moment. Perhaps “all the world’s a stage” by Will Shakespeare should do the trick!

I Solemnly Swear by Mila Zakharov
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The course of true love never did run smooth. James' infatuation with Lily is driving him–and his friends–insane! Peter accuses the fiery redhead of being cold-hearted, Remus suggests growing-up and Sirius won't stop bickering with Tabitha while coming up with plans that turn out for worse! Add to that romantic tribulations of their own, lycanthropy and the imminent rise of the dark arts and you ought to find more than just a bit of mischief and mayhem.
Follow Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs through their last two years at Hogwarts, were merlin-knows what they will get up to! Ragging hormones, danger, grief and love are one of the few things they'll face and, of course, let's not forget about pranks. After all, that's why the girls at Hogwarts sigh, the teachers swear and Dumbledore just chuckles.
CHAPTER THREE IN THE QUEUE, Excerpt:
“As I was saying,” Lily continued, “Professor Goone...well, he hasn’t moved for the last twenty minutes, not even with all this noise.”
Peter breathed in, heavily. “You don’t think he’s dead, do you?”
“Shouldn’t we...I don’t know, try to wake him up?” she suggested, ignoring Peter’s remark.
“Are you mad?” exclaimed Sirius. “Why would you do that? He’s having a jolly good time sleeping; we’re having a jolly good time talking. Everybody wins.”
Lily didn’t even spare a glance at Sirius; instead she kept her eyes focussed on Remus. “So, what do you think?” she asked him.
Remus shrugged. “I’m not sure–wouldn’t he feel embarrassed that we caught him sleeping in class if we wake him up?”
“Right,” said Sirius. “We’d hurt his feelings!”

Apparently Asleep by Equinox Chick

Remus Lupin is an outsider. He’d once had three good friends- now two are dead and the third has been locked up for murder and betrayal.
They had met once before, when she was a child, but as Tonks grows up they find themselves thrown together- far too closely for Remus’ comfort. He’s always yearned for a normal life but knows that is impossible. Can Tonks convince him that he deserves happiness?

But the last line certainly makes up for that.
God, I wanted to hit Rob, his soo horrid. Must be the Avery blood in him!
Bout time you got another chapter up, looking forward to the rest.
...xXxLove SandyxXx...
Author's Response: Sorry about the wait. Look, Tonks has to realise that good looking blokes can be horrible and now she has something to compare Remus with *grins*. I wanted to hit Rob as well, I think I should have made Tonks hex him. Ah, well, too late now. Thanks for reading, I am writing the next chapter NOW! Carole xxx

Here's your Easter Egg.
I really liked the story. It had great description and it was sooo sad. I almost cried in it and I don't cry all that often over story's. Okay, okay, I cried when George got hurt but it's George.
The ending kinda made me laugh. She found another Squib!
Loved it!

Author's Response: Hi, Sandy - thanks for your review xD I'm sorry for the teary eyes >.> It wasn't meant to make people cry. The girl at the end wasn't a Squib though - maybe it was the surname that confused you? Yeah. Well, anyway, thanks again, honey. You made me smile - this is like one of my favourite things I've wrote, so it's nice when I hear feedback on it. xx

I don't blame you for not wanting to give up on your characters. I know that if you did write something about them I'd read it. Their really good, and Edward is so sweet.

Your Son by MerrryD
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary:

He just wasn’t sure he could love a child.

Love Beyond Forever by mudbloodproud
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The year is 1979 and the Marauders are out of school and working for the Order. One Marauder is about to get married, one is finding life outside school harder than even he expected, one is about to turn traitor and one is about to fall in love.
When Sirius Black flew away from the two Muggle policemen with James Potter on the back of his motorbike, he didn’t know he was about to come face to face with the one person who could change everything.
Abigail Sampson was a shy, unassuming girl when she went to school at Hogwarts. She was friends with Lily Evans, but not the Marauders. She graduated and went to work for the Ministry. What very few people knew was she also went to work for the Order.
What happens when this shy girl finds herself working with one Sirius Black to discover the truth behind his brother’s disappearance? Could this quiet girl hold her own with the legendary Sirius Black? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story starts immediately after J. K. Rowling’s prequel which she wrote for charity. If you can find a copy to read, I would suggest reading it before reading this story. Of course, you don’t need to read it to understand this story, but you may feel as if you missed something in the beginning of this story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the end there will be a slight hint at Alternate Universe. I believe what happens in this story was possible, but it strays a bit from what we know of in canon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the prequel to my story The Unknown Heir. Though both stand on their own.

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Have you ever wondered why Gryffindor, despite having the great Charlie Weasley as Seeker, never seemed to win the House or Quidditch Cup? Perhaps he was distracted?
This is the story of Charlie's last game in the his fifth year. All Gryffindor need to do is beat Hufflepuff and then the Cup is theirs - but Hufflepuff have a new Seeker and Charlie can't stop thinking about flowers.
