Harry Potter and the Tree of Knowledge by Halgy
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It is after the Battle of Hogwarts and Harry is dealing with his pain; everywhere he looks, he is reminded of those lost in the fight against Voldemort.
Driven by a desire to repay his debt to the Wizarding World, Harry accepts an invitation to complete his last year of instruction at an American school called Underwood. While there, he hopes to learn new techniques to fight the Dark Arts and make the world right again.
However, forces transpire against him. Amidst his studies, Harry becomes aware of a plot that could not only have lasting repercussions on the Wizarding World, but could destroy Harry as well.
Date: 07/05/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1-A Modest Proposal
I really like this story. The idea is good. I always feel bad for Harry when he finishes off Voldemort. He goes off all alone to be by himself which doesn't do any good. But I like how in this one there's not much of that and he gets out of it. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
Author's Response: I actually have a dozen or so more chapters written already, but my BETA readers haven't finished with them yet, and I"m not going to bother submitting them before they've been proofread. In the meantime, I'm writing more, but it could be some time before everything gets settled.
Thank you so much for your review.
Trickster by Willow Rosenberg
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: After the disastrous events of the end of the Marauder's fifth year, a fuming Lily Evans decides that that arrogant James Potter and his friends need a taste of their own medicine. The straight-laced Prefect suddenly finds herself pranking her class's trickiest boys--and maybe even enjoying it. Coupled with a series of mysterious apology letters that Lily has begun receiving, it's bound to be an interesting year.
Winner of the 2010 QSQ for Best Canon Romance!
Date: 09/05/09 Title: Chapter 3: We Might As Well Be Strangers
I really like this story so far. I really love the characterization in it. I hope the next chapter is up soon.
Date: 09/23/09 Title: Chapter 4: Hatching Plans
I really like the note Severus made. It fits so well with the story. I'm very excited to find out what Lily does with James and Sirius.
Definitely Not the End of the World by Darkness Enshrouds
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Typical James, always trying to save the day; atypical Lily, letting her feelings get the best of her. My take on how in the world they ended up together.
Date: 06/14/09 Title: Chapter 1: Another year, another...fight?
I really like this story. It's a perfect idea. You did a really good job on this.
I like how she liked him for a long time but he was to cocky. I could see that happening.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you like it. :D
Lavender, blue - A Gryffindor true by Equinox Chick
Rated: Professors • Summary: When Lavender Brown returns to Hogwarts for her seventh year, she knows things will be hard. Professor Dumbledore’s death has scared everybody, and with her Muggle-born mother in hiding, she makes a promise to her father to stay safe.
But to stay safe she must ignore her instincts and turn her back on her friends.
This is a Lavender Brown/Blaise Zabini story, but also concerns that last year at Hogwarts when the Trio were a'hunting Horcruxes.
Thank you to Laura (bookofsecrets) and Terri (mudbloodproud) for beta'ing the first chapter, Alyssa (Harry4lif) for the second and Emma (Amortentia x) for taking over the reins. And Natalie for the last chapter.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. I doubt that surprises anyone.
This story won the 2010 QSQ for Best Chaptered Non-Canon Romance. Thank you to everyone who nominated, appreciated and judged.
ATTENTION: Because of prissy glitch on the archive, stories with a rating about 3rd-5th cannot be read. I have lowered the rating to enable access, but the content remains the same. This is a PROFESSORS rated fic. Read at your own discretion - the sexual situations warning is there for a reason.
Date: 05/25/10 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - Before I Sleep
Tons of people talk about this story, and I wanted to see what all the buzz was about. I honestly didn't think it was going to be as good as it is. I can't believe I thought that now.
You've made me fall in love with Blaise. I've never wanted to be Lavender before, not even when she was with Ron, and now I do. Their pairing is so natiral and they fit so well together. I thought their characterization would be off because of what we saw in book six, but you changed their characterization in a way that works. You give good reasons as to why Lavender and Blaise change. You've changed my views on Lavender, and now I don't hate her character anymore. Thanks! I've never thought about Blaise much, but now I'm thinking more about his character in the books. All of your reasoning for his actions makes sense, and same for Lav.
I haven't read a story about what happens at Hogwarts while Harry isn't there, and this makes me want to read more. I think you've written how the DA members rebel excellently. They are still in character when they act out and how they go about things is right.
Neville's character makes me smile. I was so happy to read that he finally was the leader, that he finally was someone other than the "loser" (as my friends call him...).
I've tried so hard not to gush, but I can't stop. I'm shipping Blaise/Lavender now. Blaise/anyone, actually, and I'm not sure if I should thank you or throw tomatoes at you. How many Blaise stories are there? Sadly, not many, I think. :( But I love how you changed his character... but then again, you didn't really change it. We don't really know what he would do.... Anyway. I love Blaise now. You wrote him wonderfully and he was so much fun to read.
Your writing is great in this. There was just enough detail and the plot never got boring. You made this story so much fun to read.
This story is great. I can't say it enough. I wouldn't object to another story or two about them together. *caugh*
Thank you so much for writing this! I'm glad I decided to read this!
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you so much for the glowing review ... and you read it all in one go, that must have been um ... entertaining to say the least - ha ha. I am glad you've rethought Lavender. She gets such a bad press from fanfiction and all she did was get a bit silly over Ron (who didn't discourage her, let's remember). I adore her and Blaise of course, so I will probably write some more stories about them. Plus they could well turn up in other fics I have. Thanks again for the lovely review; I feel all warm and fuzzy now. ~Carole~

I really like this story and I csn't wait to find out what happens next. You're doing a really good job. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out what happens next. Iol. I'll give you a clue though... the Pensieve is going to making it's first appearance very soon. I'm glad that you think I'm doing a good job. The ninth chapter is written and should be up soon. I hope you will keep reading and reviewing. --ginnygirl16
Forever by MadEyeMaddy
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: The final moments of Tonks and Remus that we never witnessed
Date: 09/15/09 Title: Chapter 2: Love
I really love tis poem. I got goosebumpe while I read it. I love the ending. I love the middle. And I love the begining. I just love all of it. When he said "Kill me. I won't live without her.", is when I got the goosebumps. I think you did a great job on this poem.
Author's Response: Awwww :) Thanks! It is a little goosebump-inducing isn't it? ;) Hope to hear from you soon!!

It Takes a Wolf to Prank a Dog by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Now in his seventh year, Remus Lupin is a calm and responsible student. His friends know this and often take advantage, knowing that he never takes it to heart.
But sometimes, just sometimes, Moony longs for revenge, especially when Padfoot takes things one step too far.
But Padfoot is wise to Marauder pranks, so for April Fool's Day this year, Moony enlists the help of four girls who are also champing at the bit to humiliate the 'too damn adorable' Sirius Black.
I am Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff and this is my entry in the April Fool's Day Challenge set in the Great Hall.
Thank you to Alyssa (Harry4lif) and Wendy (Kiley) for their help in beta'ing this tale.
The song featured in this story is Hot Legs by Rod Stewart which was a huge hit in the early part of 1978 and seemed to lend itself very well to Sirius Black!
Disclaimer Sirius and Remus are not mine *sigh* but belong to JK Rowling as do James,Lily and Peter. The Harley-Queens however are my rather fluffy invention.

I really love this story. It's so funny. It's a good idea too.
Author's Response: Thank you. It was a lot of fun to write.
Wait by MagEd
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Despite their best efforts, the word "wait" is always in the vocabulary of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. Kicking off after the final battle is done and Voldemort is gone, this is how Harry and Ginny sent "wait" to the wayside. *one-shot*
Date: 06/09/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
This is a very good story. Its cool how you did the things with the different meanings of wait.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you think so. :)
The Affectionate Bet by mutualunderstanding
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Harry and Ginny had a good reason for not showing any sign of their love when they dropped off their boys at the Hogwarts Express. They had just wanted to win their daughter a little money. After all, she was the only one who believed that they'd be able to keep their hands off of each other for two days. And what a fiasco that was.
Date: 06/09/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I really like this story and I think that it's a great explanation.

I really like this story so fay and i can tell that it's going to be amazing. I like how you made it that the Purebloods are the closest to Squibs, and not muggleborns.
I Think This Love is Altering my Brain by MadEyeMaddy
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Ron and Hermione have always had a special connection. But mix in a fake French girl, a handful of dares, a cup of Hogsmeade trips, half a pound of Malfoy, and a pinch of detentions, there is definitely some trouble to be anticipated.
A look into Ron and Hermione's fifth-year minds to experience the spazzness and crazyism in first person.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I am not J. K. Rowling. I'm not even famous. Heck, I only have one story up on Mugglenet. But I'm still glad I can walk into J. K.'s world. And tap-dance back out again.
Additional warnings: May contain fluff, excessive randomness (AU), and minor plot twists!
I would also appreciate if NikkiSue/Nicole could mod this for me :]
Date: 10/21/09 Title: Chapter 5: Rough Punishments and Snogging in the Library
Ron was snogging Avril?!? How could he? I really like the scene with Professor Mcgonagall. It was very good. I think the ending was the best part. It adds a nice twist to the story. It's just agreat ending. I think this chapter are really good and I'm excited for the next one.
Author's Response: Thanks for your support! It could either be a long time or a very short time for the next chapter though. Keep checking! And, yes, plot twists are the best.
Date: 01/17/10 Title: Chapter 8: The First Date and Strange Kisses
Of course I want the epilogue!
I'm so happy for Ron and Hermione. They finally had their kiss. It was a cute kiss too, which makes it better.
Author's Response: Thank you! I still have to go over the epilogue. I'm solo betaing right now, so it might take a couple rejections before it's posted.
Date: 02/12/10 Title: Chapter 9: Epilogue - 10 years later
I think that this is a cute ending to the story. :)
I like how Avril appears in this chapter. It made me smile.
Another thing that I like is this sentence:
“Hi, Avril. Would you like to stay for tea?” said Hermione, with hard eyes, purposely trying to puff out her stomach.
I like it because it shows that Hermione is kind of... proud that Ron chose her and she wants to show it off. It's not just the guys who do that.
However, I think that the most well writtin line is this:
For a second, the long-forgotten face was quiet, as she realized who’s doorway she currently occupied.
I just love it. :)
This whole story made me smile and laugh and say 'aww', which very few stories have done without being too mushy. That is a great thing to do. I love the idea for this story and I'm excited to read when you write next.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I personally don't like the epilogue at all though because it's so...epilogue-y and different from the flow of the rest of the story lol. I'll try not to keep you guys waiting for *ahem* whatever pops up next... but I'm having maaaaaaajorrrrrr writer's block (for filler, I have my main plot points worked out, but if I didn't throw in some extra scenes it will be like 3 chapters hahaa) and when I go back and read this story it's like ...Wow. Sometimes I amaze myself with what I've written hahaa. I'm glad you liked the story(: Hope to hear from you soon!

Date: 09/13/09 Title: Chapter 4: Strange Dreams and Wild Common Rooms
I really love this story. It's so funny. I was going to rewiev every chapter but the VMA preshow is on.... Anyway, I think that characterization is great. I really like Hermione. I haven't read alot of her, but she is the best from what I've read. Ron is great too. He is very believable. I also like Seamus. My favorite characterization parts were the first couple of paragraphs. It was a great way to start the story.
Don't even get me started on the dare. It was great! It was a great idea. And when ron stormed in started saying stuff and Seamus asked Ginny out and and Harry reacted, that was brilliant. Brillant. And then the whole fight thing happened later. I just loved it.
And the whole Hermione/Ron/Avril situation is great. I like how in the begining we didn't know who she was. I hope everything goes okay with everyone. Especially the Harry/Ginny stuff. I'm excited for the Ron/Hermione date thing. I hope it's funny.
I can't wait to find out what happens next, especially in McGonagals office. I can tell that it's going to be good. In my oppinion this is a great story so far and I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: When I read your review, I smiled so big I thought my face would fall off. Thank you so much :D. The funny part is, I started writing this back in like April or March and I don't even remember where I got the idea! The next chapter isn't anything great, but I will tell you that Avril's tricks are about to get a LOT worse ;). The date itself isn't THAT great. But there's still like four or five chapters to go so keep your eyes peeled. Thanks so much for reviewing and I hope to hear from you again!
Date: 10/25/09 Title: Chapter 6: Secrets and Injuries
I don't know how I could send you a llama, so I guess I just have to give you a review. :(
My favortie line was “Well, see when it’s this time of day, and people are hungry—” started Harry. It's a great Harry line. I could actually see him saying that.
I really love everything that happened in this chapter. I also like how you go back and forth batween Hermione's and Ron's POV. I think it adds more to the story. I might have already told you that, but it's worth saying again.
I really like the characterization of all the characters. I can't choose my favorite one. You have Harry's funnyness down, but you also have how Ron and Hermione would act around each other. I thinkt aht they would both do what you had them do. They would both try to make the other jealous. I think that you did a great job on that.
When it was the part where it was Ginny, Harry and Ron, I like how Ginny and Harry acted. I also like what Harry said and then Ron said something about fanticies. That was very good and funny.
The ending is also very good. It's not that big of a cliff hanger but it makes you want to find out what happens next. I think that this kind of cliffhanger is the best. You do a great job on it. It was really great because you didn't leave it off when Harry said that Ron loves her. You had Hermiones reaction to it. That's what really made it great.
I think that this is a great chapter and I'm excited for the next one. Great job!
Author's Response: :D!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks! Too bad you can't really send me a llama. That'd be amazing.
Yes, I do looooove Harry in this story, because in the REAL Potterverse everyones like "Ehmygaaaaaawd, Harry! You're my hero!" But I love making him look kinda stupid(: and focusing on R/H. I do think this is a cute chapter. The next ones a lot shorter though, but the stuf that happens in it makes it AMAZING. I still can't believe that six chapters are posted. Eeep. Everyone says they like my characterization, and that makes me sooooooooo happy. And yeah, I really like big dramatic cliffies, they're fun to write x 100000, but sometimes the little ones make alllllllllllllll the difference. Only three chappies left, m'dears! Enjoy while you can!
