Shattered by Belledeg

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary:

Many emotions. One wizard. One act of revenge.

A one-shot for the "Watching the Mirror" Class on the betaboards
Reviewer: Essence of Potter Signed
Date: 12/03/09 Title: Chapter 1: Shattered

Ooooh! Very good! You write Tom so well. The emotionless thing he is..was? (Ok I know he's a fictional character!) Anyway, I liked how you protrayed (if that's how you spell it) his father, he was so like Tom, didn't care about anyone but himself. Litterly until his dying breath. Very well writen!
Oh and I love your name! Ellynia, so exotic!

Author's Response: Thanks, and I dunno why I find it easy writing Tom, but I'm glad you think it's good :)



The Mind of Arthur Weasley by Northumbrian

The Mind of Arthur Weasley

Reviewer: Essence of Potter Signed
Date: 02/14/10 Title: Chapter 1: The Mind of Arthur Weasley

I LOVED this story. Your characterisation was spot on, for everyone. I can't beleive this is your first first person POV fic! It was true to the core with the whole, "parents are all knowing" thing. I loved all Arthurs little thoughts and insights on things and I just really enjoyed reading it and would deffinatly reccomend it. Supper thimbs up, fiv out of five!
Love Fi

Author's Response: This started off as a third person POV story from Ginny’s perspective, about the kids trying to persuade the Weasleys to let them go on holiday. It didn’t work. I moved it to Arthur’s POV, again third person. It still didn’t work. So I sat in Arthur’s seat and rewrote it again in the first person. -N-



What's Your Favorite Color? by GinnyPotterFan26

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: In the many interviews since the fall of Riddle, Harry has been asked one question more than any other. This time, his answer is a little...different.
Reviewer: Essence of Potter Signed
Date: 04/28/10 Title: Chapter 1: What's Your Favorite Color?

Hello! Wow. That was a really good first fic! Really sweet and cute! The only tiny little thing I didn't like was is the second last paragraph how Harry mentioned Ginnys hair twice. I think it sort of made it loose some of its affect? Anyway! I love magEd's work too, and I've sort of been toying with trying fan fic for a while now but I'm not that good....and way well done and I'll look out for more of your stuff!

Author's Response: Thanks! I know what you mean about him mentioning Ginny's hair twice. I toyed with a couple of other ways of writing it, but I couldn't figure out any way to get around it. I thought he needed both of those reasons, and I didn't know how else to work them in. Good luck with your own writing!



The Aliens by Midnight Storm

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: The Second Wizarding War is at its peak. What does it look like to an observant seven-year-old Muggle boy?
Aliens are invading, I know they are. Aliens that use sticks to hurt and kill people.
Reviewer: Essence of Potter Signed
Date: 12/01/10 Title: Chapter 1: The Aliens

I'm nearly crying just reading this! The imagery is so vivid and harsh and this poor kid who no one believes! really well written, the short sentences really punctuated it and were sort of child like in a way? I mean you knew it wasn't an adult speaking. Any who well done it was great!

Author's Response: This review made my day! I'm really happy that it touched you so much :D ~Midnight Storm



Remembering Lily by Gmariam

Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Past Featured Story
Summary: A lonely figure walks down the street, long auburn hair trailing behind her in the blustery wind. She pulls a red wool coat snug around her, gloved hands tucked into pockets as she wanders the sidewalk, glancing up at the shop fronts. She is young, but her face is lined with sadness, as if searching for something she has lost. Her green eyes long for answers.

Across the way a young man stops and stares at the woman in the red coat, hardly daring to believe it might be her. And yet as she turns and walks back up the street, he knows it is, and his heart stops beating for a moment. He blinks, just to see if she will disappear from his life once more, like she did over a year ago.

She doesn't.

Looks like this is going to be a great story, adding it to my favorites now! X

Author's Response: Ooh, I hope it lives up, then! Thanks so much - I hope you enjoy the rest! ~Gina :)



Watching From A Distance by Gmariam

Rated: 6th-7th Years • Past Featured Story
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy is celebrating the end of seventh year when he runs into a former girlfriend. She brings him over to the Gryffindor table, where he finally interacts with someone he's been watching for a while, someone he thinks about far too often. Their interaction and future plans give him hope, but the night ends with a crushing reminder that he wants someone he cannot have.
Reviewer: Essence of Potter Signed
Date: 06/05/11 Title: Chapter 1: One Shot

Wow. That was pretty unexpected, amazing tho! I love the way Scorpius came across. Every time someone writes about Scorpius he's always a fairly over confident prat but you wrote him in such an original way. It was refreshing. I also liked how you showed the relationship between Scorpius and the Weasly/Potters, they weren't really friends but they weren't not, I liked it. I'd actually love to read more of this ship if you wrote it! So consider it! :)
Fionnuala

Author's Response: You know, I honestly haven't considered it, sorry! I have written a longer story about Albus and his significant other, though, and well as a Scorpius/Hugo that I haven't actually posted now that I think about it. Hm. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I'm thrilled that Scorpius wasn't a copycat of every other version out there! I like reading him many different ways, but in the end I want him to be consciously different than Draco, and in particular I appreciate it when he's not instant enemies with the Potters/Weasleys. I think that shows strength of inner character. But I ramble, lol. Thanks so much for reading this, I appreciate the lovely review! ~Gina :)



Raindrops by Gmariam

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:

He returned with a quiet sadness and a surprising new responsibility to keep him focused. She returned with a misplaced bitterness and the matching position that forced them to work with one another. Yet fear, resentment, and stubborn arrogance kept pushing them apart, even when they were meant to be together.

Hi I'm having the same problem with accessing the story!



Reviewer: Essence of Potter Signed
Date: 11/25/11 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter Twenty-Four

Really enjoyed this chapter, lots of action! Only thing I was confused about (now it's not a problem just something I'm confused about), why was it so strange that it was snowing at christmas in England? It's not unusual at all for it to snow in London in December. Not that it really matters tho, I was just curious! :)
