Just a normal girl who is in love with writing, painting, photography and all things Potter. I also enjoy Castle, White Collar, anything Disney and, of course, Narnia. It's been around four years since I've been into fanfiction, and I loved every second of it. Now that my A levels are over, I'm back to writing.
Here's a list of my stories. Click on them for the banners:

Date: 07/13/11 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Riveting Revelations
Great chapter! You are really good at coming up with these stuff. That was such a great way to sort the students! And... so did Alice touched Slytherin's statue?
I think I can see a lot of sinister stuff coming up... can't wait for the next chapter! Update soon! --Nadia
Author's Response: Thanks for the support, Nadia! I guess it wasn't too hard to figure out what was really going on with Alice, was it? :P You're definitely right about the sinister stuff, more chapters will be up soon.
I can't wait to see you update your next-gen fic too!
The Sweetest Thing by draco_roxmysox
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: The sweetest thing a person could do would be to keep another company in her hour of need.
What if someone found his enemy where she lay seriously injured? What if he could leave her? What if he chose to stay?
Date: 08/07/10 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Aww, this was such a nice story. I loved how Draco stayed to help Hermione- it made me feel that he was actually human. It was very sweet. Awesome work. :)
Author's Response: Thank you :)
Bit of a Nasty Shock by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: ‘I’m half and half,’ said Seamus. ‘Me dad’s a Muggle. Mam didn’t tell him she was a witch ’til after they were married. Bit of a nasty shock for him.’
You'd love to hear this story, wouldn't you?
Thanks to Emma (Amortentia_x) for the Irishpick! :D And I am not J.K.Rowling, though they all belong to her.
Nominated for a QSQ in the Best Humour category.
Date: 08/13/10 Title: Chapter 1: Some witches do know how to bewitch!
LOL, Natalie, this was great! I've always wondered how Seamus' mum told his dad about her being a witch :P. Simply hilarious. I liked how she called herself a proud witch, that was nice. But I'd have liked to read how he accepted the fact that she was a witch. That would've been great!
Anyway, overall, the story flowed really well, and the beginning was very original and uncommon. The way you wrote it made me want to read further. Everything was great!
Good job, girl!
--Nadia :)
Author's Response: Hello!
What a pleasant thing to open my mail to. :) This was originally a drabble I wrote for an SBBC challenge. Hehe! Mmmm...you're right. I should have expanded it. I will try and add some more ;).

Hurry up with the rest, can't wait!
--Nadia

All That I've Got by J Raven
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
Tom Riddle was always the perfect student, right?
Wrong
There was one spell he never could get right
A spell that required the one thing he couldn’t have
A happy memory
It’s hard to be the best when what you need is just out of reach
Date: 09/09/10 Title: Chapter 1: Everyone Else Has A Memory
Wow.. this was awesome. I loved the way you portrayed Tom in this fic. He was totally in character. I also loved your description of what Tom did to Amy and Dennis back then. Really creative. And as for the ending, I really liked how you made him cheat. Entirely like Lord Voldemort. And the last line was really intriguing. Awesome ending! Overall, the fic was great, and for a beginner, you're really great! I loved this :) Keep on writing more! :)--Nadia
Author's Response: Wow Nadia, compliment overload lol, thank you so so much. I honestly will try to write more but it's taken me like three years to actually put something online so it could be a long wait (or not). -Jess

Nominated for: Best Post-Hogwarts (Chaptered) story - Quicksilver Quills 2011 and
Nominated for: Best Post-Hogwarts (Chaptered) story - Quicksilver Quills 2012
Date: 12/13/11 Title: Chapter 11: A Confusion of Weasleys
Yay, another chapter! I really, really, really, reeeaaaalllyyy like this! :D Can't wait for more! --Nadia
Author's Response: Nadia, thanks.
I hope to get another chapter completed by the end of the year.-N-
Date: 04/27/12 Title: Chapter 15: Arrivals
Yay, another chapter! I loved all the people, and also the subtle hints that there was something odd about them (like Terry and Michael talking like they all met, Michael's inept Muggle clothing, Harry calling Neville 'Prof', etc). I also really liked the OCs, they all seem so natural. Can't wait for the next chapter! Hope you update soon! --Nadia :D
Author's Response: Thanks, Nadia.
Michael's clothing could be put down to personal choice, and so coulf his wife's. Jacqui doesn't miss much, and she's already noticed a few oddities. Most of the OC's have appearred in my other stories, so I know them (Mrs Finnegan is the only one who hasn't appeared anywhere previously.-N-
Black With a Hint of Red by Ginny Weasley Potter
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Love is a very bizarre form of emotion. People can die for it. People can kill for it…
Rose Weasley is in her fifth year at Hogwarts. Love is in the air, but so is exam fever; and Hogwarts is heavy with a weird combination of nervous cheesiness. But isn’t this the story every year? It’s normal. It’s right.
And then everything goes wrong.
A student— Rose’s classmate dies tragically and unexpectedly one day. The death sends shock waves through Rose and her friends, staggering them to a great extent. Furthermore, investigations conducted by Rose’s Uncle Harry reveal a startling piece of information, placing everybody in even more shock. The death is, in fact homicide— and homicide committed by a student. Soon enough, Relationships are strained, faiths are broken and hatred is intensified. That is when Rose realises that she is not prepared to face any of it; and all she craves is for things to be the way they were before the tragedy…
This is a story about how love can make people cross the limits they never knew... a story of how love combined with obsession, deceit and jealousy can be as destructive of hatred.
This is Ginny Weasley Potter of Hufflepuff writing for the 2011 Mysterious May Challenge in the Great Hall, Prompt #2— The Trained Professional. I have moved this story into the next-gen category, because I feel it fits in better there.
Date: 06/08/11 Title: Chapter 2: A Tragic Beginning

Author's Response: Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! I think I must have been temporarily insane the day I started writing this, and saying to myself "Well let's see, what's the most unlikely pairing that could be written?" Haha but it's going to be fun. Stay tuned, I'll try to write the next chapter by the end of the week.

This is babewithbrains of Ravenclaw writing for the 2011 Mysterious May Challenge in the Great Hall, Prompt Two. COMPLETE
Blood and Roses has been nominated for the 2011 Quicksilver Quills: Best General. Thank you muchly!
Date: 06/05/11 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: Blood Related

Author's Response: Hi Nadia... thanks so much for your review. I've actually grown quite fond of this story, so I'm sooo happy you loved it. This story is still Rose/Scorpius -- you're going to have to see what happens in the next chapters. Dominique and Scorpius only had a one-night stand, btw.

Funny Business by ChocolateInTheLibrary
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: This is ChocolateInTheLibrary of Gryffindor writing for the 2011 Mysterious May Challenge in the Great Hall, Prompt #1.
When a beautiful silver pendant shaped like a lily goes missing from the Dursleys' attic, ten-year-old Harry is naturally blamed. Determined to locate the necklace, which he suspects may have belonged to his mother, he discovers an even more bizarre mystery in the process.
Date: 06/16/11 Title: Chapter 1: Funny Business
I liked this story a lot! I felt really sad for Harry and felt like kicking Dudley for getting Harry into trouble like that ;). I loved Petunia for some reason, though. Your characterisation of her was spot on. I loved how she wanted to keep the necklace because Lily had given it, though she didn't really like her. Kind of shows that she still treasured the moments when they used to be very close friends. You did a really good job with this one :) Keep up the good work! --Nadia
Author's Response: Thanks to all of you who have reviewed--and so quickly! I was a bit nervous about posting, but this has been so much fun! Thanks again.

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Lily and James Potter have recently learned that they are expecting their first bundle of joy. Despite the threat that hangs over their world, they each have their own desires for what their offspring will be.
(This is a one-shot in honor of all the parents out there who would lay down their lives for their children. Thank you!)
Date: 07/04/11 Title: Chapter 1: Boy or Girl?
Aww, this was so sweet! I absolutely LOVED Lily and James ^_^, and the last line was simply brilliant. Keep up the good work! --Nadia
Author's Response: Thanks for the compliment. That last line was the spark for the entire story, which I'm glad you enjoyed.
Engorgio! by armagod679
Rated: Professors •Summary: Roger Davies is the second-handsomest boy at Hogwarts. But he has the best looking girl as his date and will go anything to impress her. Unfortunately, that's not so easily undone...
Date: 07/09/11 Title: Chapter 1: Late Night Mishaps
Hehe, LOL. This was hilarious.It was totally the kind of thing you'd expect teenage boys to be doing when surrounded by a Veela. Though there are only minor characters here, the story was really fun to read and wasn't boring. Good job on this one. :)
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I Fall by hogwartsbookworm
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Over fifty people died the night of the Battle at Hogwarts. Fifties stories that came to The End. This is one End that was written.
Date: 07/01/11 Title: Chapter 1: I Fall
Really well written! It was really sad, and I could actually visualise the scene taking place. Who's POV is this? --Nadia :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Nadia! I wasn't sure about the POV when I wrote it; I guess it's just up to your interpretation. Thank you for the review!
Lily's Eyes by XenaTwin
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Just a short poem, about Lily... and Harry going to Hogwarts, from Snape's POV
Lily's Eyes has been nominated for the Best Poetry Quicksilver Quill award. Thanks so much for the nomination!
Date: 07/01/11 Title: Chapter 1: Lily's Eyes
This is a really good poem! The words flowed really nicely together, and none of it seemed forced, just like Carole said in her review. Being a huge Snape-fan, I'd say that this is one of the best things I've read about him. It was very sad, yet sweet. Really great :)
Author's Response: Thanks. I am lucky in that poetry has always come easy fo rme. The poetry sort of just comes to me and I just need to write it down before it flits away again ;) I do sometimes "resort" it though, or add more later. And of course, Snape is my fave too. You will undoubtedly see more of him in my poetry or fiction.
The Missing Hands by Hotrav
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
Molly Weasley seems to have a heart big enough to accept anyone in need of love. It doesn't matter if the person is an abused little boy named Harry or her son's always present 'friend' Hermione, Molly will mother them.
Perhaps her need to reach out is caused by what should be present, but is not. The Missing Hands...
Beta Reader - Hogwartsbookworm
Date: 07/06/11 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - The Missing Hands
This was a really nice and touching story. I really liked it a lot! The insight on the Prewetts' lives was really good too, and Molly was just brilliant. She was the perfect balance of tough and emotional, and that made her character seem very well-rounded and original. Really good job :)--Nadia
What's In A Name? by Midnight Storm
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary:
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
– William Shakespeare
But for Lily and James Potter, it wasn't that simple.
Date: 07/12/11 Title: Chapter 1: What's In A Name?
brlliant story. I just LOVED Sirius, you know?? I was laughing most of the time, it was... just fantastic. :D
Author's Response: I'm glad you LOVED Sirius :) Thanks for reading and reviewing, glad you enjoyed it :D
Blood Runs Deep by Siriusly Mr Black

Date: 07/16/11 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue
This was really good. I loved your descriptions and characterisation of the Blacks. They're always so formal and cold, and you've managed to display that nicely. I can't wait for the other chapters :) Update soon! -- Nadia
Severus Snape and the Meeting of the S.L.O.T.H. by rbyanes
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Severus Snape meets with a group of deceased Slytherin whose view of history does not quite jibe with actual history.
Date: 07/22/11 Title: Chapter 1: SEVERUS SNAPE AND THE MEETING OF THE S.L.O.T.H.
Brilliant! :D Salazar and Phineas were hilarious, and I loved how Phineas was shutting Bathilda up and docking points. Honestly, I had assumed Bathilda would be a Gryffindor. Anyway, Snape and Lucius rocked, and I thought what you did to Scorpius was fantastic. That was awesome! :D Scorpius Malfoy, fan of all things Potter... wow. ^_^.
There were, however, quite a few typos. For instance, I saw "the Voldemort" somewhere, and you hadn't italicised some of their thoughts. And somewhere you had written Narcissus instead of -cissa. But other than that, the story was stunning. You had me laughing the whole way :)
--Nadia
Author's Response: Nadia thank you so much for your input! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I had fun writing it. And thank you for the heads up on the typos I will fix them tonight. And you know, I tried to italicize but I don't quite have the hang of the word processing this site uses yet. But spot on critiques thank you.
