Everything Happens for a Reason by MerrryD
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Every student plans on making their final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry the most memorable one ever. Eight in particular want to make those minutes really count. Except, they each have a different idea of how to go about doing it.
James Potter would like to waltz into Lily Evans’s life and throw it completely off course. Julie McGuire didn’t exactly plan on rescuing Remus Lupin, but now that she has, why not just go with it? Marlene McKinnon should have know what she got herself into when she kissed Sirius Black the first time, but that boy has a way of knocking her senseless. Emmeline Vance had planned to just sit back and watch it all happen, until Roxanna Louchester, her ex-friend, barged in and turned everything upside down.
Suddenly they’ve gone from only wanting the most memorable year, to achieving it. It’s a year of love and lust. It’s a year of tears and fights. It’s a year of finding yourself. It’s a year of learning to lose. It’s a year that none of them are likely to forget.

I really like this story. I like how you wrote James and Lily together. It was fun to read that part. I can't wait for the next chapter. This is a really good story.
Haunted by SaraWinters
Rated: Professors •Summary: Snape attempts to come to grips with why he is always uncomfortable around Harry.

I like this story. I almost thought that Lily actually did that at first. lol. You did a really good job with this story. I could see Snape going through that.
A Different View On Love by helz_belz
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: James would do anything to get inside Lily’s head. Lily would do anything to get away from James. Lily was brewing a banned potion. James went to find her. Lily made a mistake and the potion exploded. James got his wish, but is it much more than he bargained for?
Now Complete!
After a year the Epilouge is now up! Come read for a bit of fun!!
Runner up QSQ - Best Chaptered Canon Romance
Reason for Nomination:
This is the most unique take on how James and Lily really got to know each other. The story is hilarious and keeps you laughing throughout, but it never lets you forget the serious stuff. Plus, she somehow manages to end each chapter with a nice cliffhanger.

I love this story so far. It's one of the only ones that I check to see if it's updated. You do the characters perfacty. This is almost my favorite story and your doing a perfect job! :D
Author's Response: Thanks! Sorry it took so long to reply. I'm glad it's one of your favourites. Hopefully there will be an update in about 2 weeks.
Date: 09/27/09 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter Thirteen: Every Good Romance Needs An Exciting and Deadly Chase Scene
I really love this chapter. It's very good. The ending made me laugh so hard! It was very funny.
I love what the locket means. It's a very good story. It seems very real too, like it could've happened. I'm so excited fore the next chapter. I hope it's up soon.
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'd planned the locket for a long time, since before chapter five, so I'm happy it all worked out :)
Date: 11/07/09 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter Fourteen: Love Works in the Weirdest of Ways
Hmmm, my favorite part would have to be when the first changed bodies. It was fun to see their reactions to be in someone elses body.
I like everything about this story so it's hard to choose. I like the characterization of James and Lily as different people. It was good. This story was very interesting and very good. I hope that there is an epilogue. Epilogues are always good.
Author's Response: Tee hee, I definitely enjoyed writing James' first reactions. So much fun. Thank you so much for your comments. James and Lily are so hard to characterise because they can easily slip to cliché. It's great you liked them :)
Date: 06/22/09 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: Objection!
I absolutly loved this chapter. It was so funny. The whole judge scene was my faveriote. I could see them doing that in real life if they were actuslly real characters. I like how that had different positions that they played. It was great.
I also like how Lily is slowly falling for James. Like how they becaome friends first and have fun with each other. I don't see Lily just falling for him right away and I think you did a great job with that.
I also like what Sirius said at the end. I could see him saying something like that because it's true. The whole part with Regulus was perfect to. That's how i amagined it in my mind.
I absolutly love this story and I cannot wait for the next chapter.
-Alyssa
Author's Response: Alyssa,
Thanks so much for the review. I'm not sure what gave me the idea for the judge scene, but I can imagine them doing that.
I wanted a moment with Sirius, for Lily to see the true depth of their friendship. I'm glad you liked it.

StarLight by BittersweetLove
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: The stars are amazing things. They are always there, no matter what. The one constant thing in Ginny Weasley's life. But they can also trigger unusual confessions...
This story is set during Deathly Hallows when Draco, Ginny, and friends are at Hogwarts. It’s just a little scene I wished to happen but it didn’t. It's not very romancey, not matter what category it's in. And Draco didn't go to school. Which explains the AU warning. So... One-shot songfic to Starlight by Muse.
Date: 06/23/09 Title: Chapter 1: StarLight
First of all, I love Muse and the song Starlight so I just had to read this story and I'm glad that I did. Second, I love it. The song fit perfectly with your story. You did a really good job on it.
Author's Response: Thanks a bunch! It just seemed like such a perfect song for this. Muse is just so awesome!
More than Meets the Eye by lilybobily7
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: First problem: James Potter is Head Boy. Second problem: Why is he acting so different? The James Potter that Lily Evans knows is arrogant and conceited and loves Quidditch and bullying his “inferiors” with an unimaginable passion. This year he’s kind and charming and much more, shall we dare say it…mature. He is also much more distant than he has ever been in all her years at Hogwarts. In her seventh year, Lily finds out that there is much more to James Potter than meets the eye and together they set out on the long and precarious road to each other’s hearts.
Date: 12/01/09 Title: Chapter 22: Confrontation
I love this chapter. I'm so happy that there is another chapter. There is one really small nitpick though.
“She doesn’t know anything. Neither of them does.”
It should be "neither of them do."
I like the ending; it's very good. I really like Snape in this. I really like when he and Lily are alone. I like what he did. I'm glad that. He wouldn't really erase her memory. It's just not nice.
I'm really excited to find out what happens to Lily, James ans Severus. I hope they end up okay.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you like it! Honestly, that chapter took so long to work out to make sure everyone was in character and there were no loopholes in the plot.
Also, thanks for the grammar comment. I'll fix it right away.

I really like this chapter. I hope the next one is up soon.
Author's Response: thanks!

I really love this story. You did an amazing job on Remus.
The Trials of a Best Man by mudbloodproud
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: On the day of James and Lily's wedding, Sirius Black must handle a nervous groom, a bride in tears and give a speech he hasn't written.

I am mudbloodproud of Hufflepuff and this is my story to for the challenge in The I Challenge Thee Challenge thread on the beta boards.
Date: 08/30/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I really really love this story. I like when Sirius went to go see Lily. It was funny. I really like her answer to his question the most.
Confessions of a Boy in Love by MarauderWannabe
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: James has tried. Now it's time to give up.
I’m going to let her go. I’m going to let her be her own person, without me around. Without me around to bother her anymore.
A one-shot from James POV about trying to give up
SEQUEL It Wasn't You, It Was Me NOW ON MNFF!

I really like this story. I like that there isn't any dialog in it. I like how you made James. He's really good.
The Lions of Gryffindor by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: It is June 1976 and The Marauders are at the top of their game. From the outside they look to have everything.But appearances, as the saying goes, can be deceptive.
James is discovering that not everything in life is his for the taking. Sirius knows he will have to defy his formidable family. Remus lives in constant fear of his life beyond Hogwarts. As for Peter... Well, Peter is struggling to live up to his friends.
The ties of friendship are strong, but war is raging and with a dark power rising those ties will inevitably fray.
Added to the mix is an adversary called Severus Snape, some lost House Points, a prank or two and a whole lot of Lily.
This is a Marauder tale.
This is a story of what made them special.
This is a story of why it started to go wrong for The Lions of Gryffindor.
OH MY GOOD GODRIC! Lions of Gryffindor won the 2009 QSQ for Best Marauders' Era Story. Amazed and incredibly grateful to those who nominated, judged and have beta'd this fic. THANK YOU.

Fewer than one-hundred, but far more than twenty.
Date: 03/15/10 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 - Hogsmeade
I think that is the best cliff hanger that I have ever read. I was so excited to read how James goes about asking Lily. But wait! It didn't happen. As much as I wanted to read Lily's reaction, I think this ending is better. If you haven't noticed, this ending, to me, is freaking awesome. :P
Another thing that I love is the characterization. I'm sure you get this a lot, but your characterization... it's just too good for words. It's funny when it needs to be, it's serious, it's so gosh darn believable.
The way you write Sirius just blows my mind. He is funny and nice at the same time! This is by far the best Sirius that I've read. The way he acts with Regulus is something that I've never read before. I like how they are kind of civil towards each other. I will always love a good Black on Black fight, but this is great too.
I like how Remus swears. Being a teenager, he is bound to swear.
I love how James has some self control on asking Lily out. It's refreshing to read a story like that.
Lily is great too. She's calm but she still has that pazazz to her.
But my favorite part was the ending! You didn't go in to a lot of detail, but it was just enough to keep me satisfied. Well, not satisfied, but it gave me just enough information to let me know what is going to happen soon without giving too much away.
This story is also good because I think I might have skipped a few chapters, but I still know what's going on. :P
The plot is yet another thing that I love. In the begining of the story I was a little ify on it, but then I knew right away that this story would be great.
Towards the end of this chapter when James asked if the new bartender was cute (hot?) , I had a feeling that it would be a guy, but I didn't think that it would be this dude (I forget his name >.
Author's Response: OOOH, thank yopu so much for the indepth review and I'm glad you're enjoying it. hmm, plot ... yes I remember that. Yes, there's definitely a plot that isn't just about Matauder pranks and Lily/James will they won't they, it just takes a bit more pulling together. Richard Soule ... or Rich is the barman's name. Poor James ... he might just have got his date with her if Rich wasn't around. Thank you again ~Carole~
Date: 04/24/09 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Journeys to King's Cross
i absolutly LOVE this story. i really liked Lilys point of view to.
Author's Response: Thank you very much for the review - I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. Lily will be having some more chapters devoted to her, and so will some of the others (look out for a Wormtail one - possibly chapter 13). Carole xxx

I like this story. Poor Harry!
Sir Oscar O'Reilly by MagEd
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Assigned to work on a project together, James Potter and Lily Evans find themselves getting to know one another through a silly game James has devised. A light, fluffy, slightly cliche one-shot. "Don’t look at me like that! I’m going to behave today." *one-shot*
Date: 06/05/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
This is such a cute story and it made me laugh. I love it.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad it could make you laugh. :)

I really like this story. It mad me really sad.
Author's Response: im sorry it made you sad but merci beaucoup for reading and reviewing!!
Siren's Song by Phia Phoenix
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The Greek breed of merpeople are known as Sirens, and have entranced many a foolish sailor to his watery doom by means of their fair singing. But in many cultures there are tales of Sirens who have succumbed to the same snare they have spun so many: love.
Date: 03/04/10 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
This poem is written so well; I just don't have any words to describe how good this is.
My favorite stanzas are the first and last ones. The first one has amazing lines in it.
The lovely ocean beckons, bright as angels’ tears,
That is great imaginary. I can picture the ocean thats clear and blue and very pretty.
As storm clouds ruminate and distant mountain leers.
This, along with the first line, is superb. I love it.
The last stanza is the best. The second line in it is the best in the whole poem. It's so much like a siren and I love it.
This is such a great poem. It's written amazingly and it was so much fun to read. Great job.
Obvious by MarauderWannabe
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Harry had always been a person of few words. Ginny had always been the talkative one.
That much is obvious.
From Harry and Ginny's POV
Is that so incomprehensible? That a seventeen year old is fighting to beat the darkest man in the world, not for glory, not out of vengeance, but for, well, his best mate’s little sister?
It seemed that I should be the only one that was allowed to run to him for comfort, for reassurance. It didn’t seem fair that I had to share Harry Potter with the world.
Date: 06/28/09 Title: Chapter 1: Obvious
I really love this story. It's absolutly amazing.
A Marauder's Cliche by KDTheRavenclaw
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: What happens when our favorite foursome, plus Lily, Snape, and of course some impossibly perfect OCs return to Hogwarts for their 7th year? Why, absolute bucketfuls of drama, angst, tears, jealousy, unrealistic events, and cheesy, cheesy dialogue! Also staggering amounts of random insanity. You have been warned.
Date: 04/14/09 Title: Chapter 1: Always Start At the Beginning
the part in James dream was really funny.
Author's Response: Thank you!
