Renaissance by Wolf By Night
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Harry never expected to find out that Remus had a twin sister; nor did he expect the appearance of his mother's best friend. And he certainly didn't expect the history they, and Sirius, all shared. But perhaps these four links to Harry's parents can help him in his ever-lasting war with Voldemort - and in the process, give him the family he never had. AU OotP, with some canon left intact. NOT a Mary Sue fic.
Date: 07/14/09 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: Fallacious Continuance
WOW! I loved it so much!!! Where, oh where is the next chapter????!!!!!
A few Q&C, though. Once you forgot the 'o' from 'ago'. And the second part is at the end of the school year, right? And I LOVE the sister idea (: Was Fera also a Griffendor??? Why would wizards have a phone? And WHERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER??? You're a REALLY good writer!
~Andrea
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked the story so much! That's really exciting for me. Especially that you like Fera, as I've had her in my head for five years! She like my child. XD
As for your questions, I'll just go ahead and answer them instead of making you "wait and see." I'm nice like that. XD just kidding. they have a phone because they're half bloods and they've always embraced the muggle world because they were raised by their muggle father. And yes, Fera was a Gryffindor too.
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and compliments! This review, along with others, totally made my day!
Date: 07/19/09 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter Two: Ghosts From the Past
oh, gosh. i can't find words to describe the awesome-ness of this chapter. I can't wait for the next one! Hope you post it soon, butb i have faith in you (*threatens*)
Date: 07/15/09 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter One: A Laughable Proposal
uh!!! It was great! i admit I was -am- a little confused, but that held my attention, so it was fine (:
You wrote 'First the first time in a long time' shouldn't it be 'For the...'?
So who's that woman whose coming back? And Fera...............???
Date: 08/26/09 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: Fallacious Continuance
when are you going to update?
even on the other sie, notin' has been happening! i check, and there are still only seven chapter!!! or therer is somethin' wrong w/ my internet. which prevents me from continuing to read this fic. i doubt that
*stops self from ranting*
come on! you were supposed to be away ONE WEEK. hmpf.
Author's Response: lmao, all right, see, the thing is, after I came back from that vacation, I had to run about like a mad chicken trying to get passports done and cleaning and packing, because on August 23 I hopped on a plane for England, where I have been since. Lmao! I'm so sorry about the lack of updates - Cherry pretty much wrote chapter seven by herself, and I've had it for weeks needing to go through it and edit. XD I'll get on it ASAP, I promise. I'll be in England till December 3rd, so however many chapters we write in the next few months will probably be utterly Briticized and accurate, and probably accidentally loaded with unnecessary cultural info. XD So I apologize in advance. Anyway, I will get my lazy arse in gear, but for the last two weeks I've been in Scotland and have been getting settled back in England the last few days - but now I have whole days ahead of me to work on my writing, so I will get it into gear! I'm so glad to have actual fan harrassment though. ^____^ It makes me feel all warm inside. Heheh. All the best from the lovely UK, -Kirby
Date: 07/23/09 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 3: My Mother's Shame
Uhhh, it was marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!! Really good job portraying the emotions.....
I have a couple questions/comments. Firtly, wouldn't someone, Hermione for example, have noticed the name 'Lupin' in the Prohet, if she read her article? And I don't thiink Hogwarts would be open without any protection, even in th esummer, after all, the Death Eaters could judt like hide out there or place like, I don't know, a bomb or something somewhere in Hogwarts.....
I really can't wait for them all seeing each other again, and grrrreat job with the memories, they were so realistic!!!
Author's Response: yoouuuuuuu are too clever for your own good! lol. Hermione, I hadn't caught, I'll go ahead and admit that - though I was tempted to pretend I'd already thought of that. ;p But thank you so much for pointing it out, as now, I can fix it.
As for Hogwarts, don't worry, we touch on that in chapter six. But it was a brilliant catch!
I'll be quite honest with you - because we post this story mostly to Fanfiction.net (which doesn't have a verification system), the MuggleNet posting is WAY behind. I'm putting the finishing touches on chapter six right now, in fact! but I'm posting new chapters up on MuggleNet almost the second they get verified, so they're coming to you as fast as I can make them. But THANK YOU for being such an AMAZING reader. Your reviews totally make my day! We've only got about four loyal readers so far (on ALL the sites we post to, lol), so we cherish them all individually. So again, THANK YOU for your support, it's what keeps us going!
Lots of love,
Wolf By Night (Kirby and Cherry, the authors)
Date: 07/23/09 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: Fallacious Continuance
haha, all right. You're welcome!!! It really is a great story (: ... you have some on harrypotterfanfiction.com???? Maybe I should continue to read there.... but I like MuggleNet so much more..... Well, keep it up! Your loyal readers are waiting!!! (no pressure)
Author's Response: Have submitted the new chapter to MuggleNet, so it should be up in a day or two. If you get really anxious, you can read up to chapter six at this link. But if you'd rather read it here, that's great too, I will always keep the goodness coming (although I gotta say, chapter six is... well, it's truly fabulous, if I do say so myself... haha)! Just remember to keep the reviews coming for every chapter, because I love 'em!!! Adoringly, Kirby ;)
Date: 07/23/09 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: Fallacious Continuance
ummm... what link??? I looked over at HPFF, andI think I found the story, but somehow it sais there is only one chapter.... although I might be doing something wrong, as I said, I don't usually use HPFF....
Author's Response: Click on the words "this link" in the last response. It'll take you to fanfiction.net. Not HPFF, lol. HPFF takes 10 days to validate. x.x

Staring into the Fire by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: When Harry broke into Dolores Umbridge's office to demand answers from Sirius and Remus, he little knew this would be the last proper conversation he would have with his godfather.
But what of the two that were left staring into the fire?
For Moony and Padfoot, it is a chance to re-live old times -- a chance to answer those questions long put aside.
This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff and this is my entry for the Bookbasilisk Summer Challenge - Gift of the Gab.
Many thanks to Afifa and MorganRay for beta'ing this story. I would also like to thank Miss K for some constructive comments she made about an earlier draft.
Disclaimer You know the drill. I am not JK Rowling. I doubt that's come as a huge surprise, but I thought I should let you know.
Date: 07/24/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
HAHA, I loved it! Althou when I read the summary, i was expecting more old pranks and stuff, but this was great! Actually, I don't really have anything to say to it, exept that it was great!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm pleased you enjoyed the story. I wanted something that was both light-hearted and yet serious too, which was why I mentioned the WW incident, loss of trust, yet also interweaved a few of their happier times. It can't all be about doom and gloom, can it? Thanks for reviewing. Carole xxx
Over and Over by ron lover
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Over and over, over and over I fall for you Over and over, over and over I try not to.
Lily is always trying to get away from James. He can never talk to her without getting yelled at or insulted. How much of this can he take before he is over her for good? James' POV
Date: 07/30/09 Title: Chapter 1: Over and Over
Uuuuh, that makes Lily seem so mean!!! I'm a big L/J shipper, so if you write a sequel, make them come together???
-puppyeyes-
I agree with Apurva about James characterization, the use of the song and the twist at the end, although I obviously want James and Lily to come together and live happily ever after (until they're killed, that is ): ). But still, it added to the... uniqueness.
Anyway, I thought this was a good One-Shot!!! Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks for your review. I'm a L/J shipper too and in the sequel they do have Harry. It's going to be an AU story though. I'm glad you like James characterization. It was hard to write. Thanks again for your review.
On Any Day by MagEd
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: "Ron . . . it was never Harry. It was always you. It was ever only you. Just you."
It's been two months since Ron and Hermione shared their first kiss. Now they're facing another first: their first date. *one-shot*
Date: 09/07/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
OMG, I LOVED it! Although it was an amzing R/Hr, I'm pretty sure it should also be in the humor section :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you though it funny :)
A Difficult Conversation by DracoGurlFurever
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Draco Malfoy has asked Harry Potter for a meeting. When Harry arrives, curious to see what he might want, the revelations Draco makes are astounding. Will this very difficult conversation change the way the two men see each other? Will Harry be willing to help Draco?
Date: 08/02/09 Title: Chapter 1: A Difficult Conversation
it was really good! but doesn't JKR initialize, not underline the names of the magazines and newspapers? well, i take it harry and ginny didn't live happily ever after ): and it's sad that it's not for the 'gift of gab' challenge, as it's a conversation.... but it's still really really good! congradulations!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review :) I was actually really tempted to make this a Gift of Gab challenge entry, and I even took out all the dialogue tags, etc., to see how it would work, but ended up not submitting it to that challenge because the original conditions were that it should not be eligible for the category "Romance," and I wasn't sure what else I would submit this to :) But I'll hopefully write something else for the challenge. Also, I think you're right about italicizing magazines and newspapers. I'll go back and fix that. Again, thanks for the awesome review! *hug* Apurva.
Don't Leave Just Yet by ringobeatlesfan4
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary:
You're giving me such a rush.
The final five minutes of an era. Zack, Holly, Alex, and Jack are leaving Hogwarts for good in five minutes. Not much can happen in five minutes, right?
Incorrect.
Date: 08/31/09 Title: Chapter 1: You Are the Taste of Something Sweet
And are they a gang. lol. I loved it, Becca! it was grrreat! They are so fuuuny. lol. And you are such an amazing author :) I love you Brothers and Sisters story (i checked- it's the one!!!), and I love this one! Do I remember correctly? Did you say a couple weeks ago that you didn't think you had a chance of publishing??? *scoffs* you so do!!!
I loved the 18/17 part. lol. And a lot of other parts, of course!
Its sad how they think they are going to part forever, isn't it? But good that they don't!!!
grrreat fic! *thinks becca should do more shameless self-advertisement*
Have you noticed that Jack and Zack rhyme? :p it kind of confused me at times *blushes*
uh, and I noticed that the twins are also in Huff and Claw.... lol
Author's Response: Heylo, Andi! Thanks for reviewing!!! Okay, I said the twins are 'Puffs and 'Claws? UGH! I'll have to fix that! Yeah, Maria was *supposed* to be in Gryffindor, but I think when I was editing in some of Russia's suggestions I screwed up and said that she was in whichever house I said here. Ugh. Anywho... I'm glad you think they're funny; I based some of thier personalities after myself, actually (I gave Jack my childishness, Holly my sarcasm, Alex my tendency to rebel and whatnot. I don't think I'm anything like Zack, though. Or Maria!)
The 18/17 part was one of my favorites, as well. ;) I'm glad you think i'm amazing, though; that's a bit strange to hear that. And I really do think I don't stand a chance at being published, only because there are so many other people from my generation that would want to be authors and are much better than I am. I'm trying to perfect my style through fanfiction, which is one of the reasons why I write so much of it!
Jack and Zack DO rhyme, don't they? Grr, stupid names.... I just loved the names, so i chose them. lol. Thanks for R&Ring!!! {BeccA}
A Legacy of Mischief by Razgriz Ace
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: "Well the first time I met your mum she told me the reason she was never a prefect at school was that she had a complete inability to stay out of trouble.... And as for your dad…well he was a Marauder wasn’t he?”
Date: 08/30/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
uh, i loved this fic! it was so great. i liked how the mao was passed on to Teddy, the other marauders son... weird, huh, thinking that Harry and Teddy's dads were the same age, but Harry is so much older he's his godfather??? And I like that teddy leaves it for James.
Teddys characterization, as well as harry's, was very good. teddy's mixture between his mother and father was quite nice.
The picture, yes... I like the ones you chose, and I like that the big one was of all of the family.
and I liked how the malfoys wer included in the family. Nice.
Okay, I'm most defianetly gonna add this to my favs!!!
What Would You Do? by ron lover
Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:
I take a deep breath so my voice won’t shake.
“What would you do if we died tomorrow?”
He takes a step away from me, but still keeps me in his arms. “What?”
“What would you do if you knew that we died tomorrow?”
“What kind of question is that?”
“Don’t give me that, James. You know that we are going to die soon. There is no point in pretending that we aren’t.”
James and Lily have a conversation two days before Halloween.

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: With her fortieth birthday approaching, Lavender Brown is seized with panic when she discovers her friends have a surprise party planned. Having declared herself permanantly thirty-nine, she does the only thing a grown woman can do when confronted with her age -- she does a runner. Apparating to King's Cross, she ends up on a train where she's surprised to meet a face from the past.
Will she confront her past and face up to her age? More importantly, will she return in time for the champagne?
This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff, and this is my entry for the Bookbasilisk 'Life Begins at Forty' challenge.
Thank you very much to Heather (MorganRay), Rose (Russia Snow) and Alyssa (Harry4lif) for their help in beta'ing this tale. Yes, three betas - I am greedy.
Date: 09/10/09 Title: Chapter 1: Falling Off Tables
ah, Carole, I dont tknow why I wondered who won the challenge. It was a great fic! and why do you like lavender so much? I mean, you have two fics about her... just wondering...
well, I am going to use this for the Deans corner September Challenge-so we can finally beat you :P
good job (:
Author's Response: I think Lavender gets a bad rap. Ron wasn't exactly comnplaining when they played tonsil hockey (Actually I have three fics about her now!). Hmm, Gryffs are certainly gunning for the cup this term aren't they - better get those puffs fired up again. hee hee. Thank you so much for the review and look forward to seeing the picture - ta carole
Love in an Elevator by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Ron knows Hermione said they'd take the lift to allow Scorpius and Rose to walk downstairs without him dogging their heels, but he still kinda hopes to get stuck.
Date: 10/31/09 Title: Chapter 1: Lifts
I really liked this short little one-shot :D It was funny how Ron liked the lift :P And how he and Hermione ended up in it... I havn't read Our Little Secret, but I think now I must! I was a bit confused when he starts talking to Malfoy, but you cleared that up in the next paragraph.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading this when you haven't read the other story! Our Little Secret was nominated for a QSQ for Best Story Post Hogwarts, (if that helps convince you to read it, heh).
Thank you for your time, Professor by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years • Summary: It is April 1976, and Minerva McGonagall sits in her office, arranging biscuits on a plate. She knows she faces a stormy afternoon because today is the day she has to advise her four most troublesome students on their future. They call themselves the Marauders; they think they want the same thing, but Minerva knows that the differences between them will not work in everyone's favour. And so, she steels herself for a very difficult day.
This is Equinox Chick submitting her final for the MWPP class.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, but I doubt that shocks you.
This story is very much a prequel to The Lions of Gryffindor, but either can be read without knowledge of the other.
In shock at the nomination for a 2009 QSQ award.
Date: 08/27/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
haha, great again, carole!
you've just got the marauders characterization down, nothing else to say. Peter, especially cought my eye, as I so rarely come across a fic that has a good characterization of him. All of tghe others were great to, and I noticed that normally Remus is all 'no one will take me...' and the teachers are 'you've got great grades, bla bla bla' but this time it was sorta the other way around. i think it's good. And likely, too, although we just don't really know, do we? The other theory is also very possible.....
Oh, and Chocolate Dragons??? Is this just something I missed, or did you invent them? An addition to chocolate Frogs????
Great job! And I love the Lions of Griffendor too.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review. Mmm, I made up Chocolate Dragons, just as something diffewrent and they sound quite yummy. Thanks for saying that about Peter, I struggle with him because it's hard to forget he's a traitor.

The Marauder's Map - A Beginning by Karaley Dargen
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: On a lazy Saturday afternoon in their fifth year, two of the Marauders are staying inside talking – while the other two are outside and get an idea. Why not make a map of Hogwarts? It would certainly make their nightly wanderings easier, and who knows what could be done with a piece of parchment...
This is Karaley Dargen of Gryffindor writing for the final in the MWPP class on the beta boards.
Date: 12/14/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Kara, I loved this. It was interesting, as it was really Peter-and Remus- who thought of the map. Sirius loved the idea, and James thought of the tracing part, and they probably helped creating it a big deal, but they were not the ones to actually come up with it. I liked how you portrayed the Marauders- Peter was not pushed into the background, Remus was not the know-it-all, and James was not all too arrogant. He also did not proclaim his love for Lily at the first possible moment, which I liked a lot. I also liked Sirius-he was so... Padfoot-y, if you know what I mean.
Great job! Andi :D
