I really love this poem. The ending is just great. It actually makes me feel sad for Pansy. I never thought that it was possible for that to happen, but it did. I think that this is a great poem. My favorite stanza is the fifth one. The last line in that stanza is just great.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked the poem. :) ~M_W

hey, Ronnie! This story is really good. It's also very believable. I could imagine Peter doing that. And you got Gryff points, so great job! Back to the story. I think that the characterization of Peter is pretty good.

I'm sorry that I don't have much to say other than it was good. I hope you post more stories soon!

Author's Response: Thank you, Alyssa! Really! Ronnie

I love this chapter. I like how they Healer people are talking about Sirius and other patients. I always imagine them doing that.

I also like the parts with Sirius and Ginny. They were very fun to read. I'm so excited to find out how they get together and what Harry's reaction will be to finding out that Sirius is back. Personally I think that it would be cool if Harry didn't know that he was back and Srius and Ginny kept it a secret. That's just my opinion and I can't wait to see what happens.

Oh my gosh!!!! I love this one! It's my favorite one by far. It's my favorite out of all of the ones that you made. The first stanza hooked me right away. It's just amazing. This actuall seems like it could be a song (not that the other ones couldn't). It's just so much like a song. Everything is great in it. It all goes so well together.

I'm so excited for then next ones.

I'm sorry about not ebing very productive with this review. At least you know that you have a fangirl. : D

Author's Response:

Hello Ron lover,

gosh, my very first fangirl *squeals in excitement*. I'm flattered (as long as there's no stalking involved - hahaha).

I can't tell you how delighted I was to read such a wonderfully supportive review. Your favourite so far? Excellent! Seems like it could be an actual song? Brilliant! Menas I did something right.

 *beams*

And you certainly don't EVER have to apologise for leaving a review - especially one that made smile all day at work whenever I thought about it...

Thanks very much for R & R-ing (I REALLY mean that),

M ;)

Hello, Julia!

I really love this poem. I really do. It tess a storykinda, and I love poems like that. It's hard for me to write them, so I notice when poeple write them. I love how you write this. It's so sad.

I like how everything rhymed it it. It was very good. Very, very good. I don't know what my favorite line was because they are all so great.

Great job with the QSQ, by the way. It's not really related to this poem, but I wanted to tell you that. You have amazing poetry and I'm excited to read more of it.

Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much Alyssa! I'm still smiling about that QSQ and I'm glad you enjoyed this poem as well. Thanks for reviewing :)

This story is just amazing! I have never even thought of reading a story about her, and I'm glad that I read it. This one shot is wonderfully made. It tells her life so well. It was very believable.

I actually read this three times in a row because I like it so much. The way he acts before he has the potion is probably my favorite. He acted how I imagined him to. He was also amazing when he was on the potion. I think that you showed what the potion did very well. And then her actions and why she gave him the potions are great. It is all just so believable. It was like I was reading her life story and why she did those things.

The way you sepperated the sections was great too. It showed how her life was changing with events that were nesscessary to the story without adding uneeded stuff. You also didn't force anything.

The way he left her was also amazing. It seemed like it would actually happen like that. And also her burning the books. That added so much to the story without seeming like you tried so hard to make it work.

I can't tell you my favorite part because I love all of it. I really do. The characterization was great. We don't know that much about Tom but he fit what we do know about him. Merope (in my opinioni) is tricky to write properly, but you write her so well.

I know that when I need a good story to read I'll come back to this one (or other ones that you write). I just love it! I'm so excited to see what you write next. : D

Author's Response: Alyssa!

You, my friend, are truly one of the most encouraging people I've ever known. I don't even know how to begin to thank you. :)

I am so glad that you liked it that much. I'd given up on writing anything for WTM one shot because I was completely taken up by RL, and the one idea which I had for the task wasn't working out at all. But then, one day before the last date, or was it two days? Anyway, I had this sudden stroke of inspiration and I just started writing. And it could have been total c***, because I just wrote it like that, without any planning, but it seems to have turned out fine. Whew!

Tom was easier to write, because I'd always pictured him as a Muggle version of his son. Perhaps not as sadistic, but the cruelty had to be inherited partly from him. (As you know, the Guant men weren't exactly the kindest folks around.) It was Merope I had trouble with. She was - a combination of strength and weakness, of hope and despair, and I'd no idea when one would come. All I knew was, it would come out terrible if I wrote her in a prosaic manner - because her story is not prosaic at all. There's romance, there' s passion, there's deception, and betrayal, and loss - as such, I had to adopt a bit of a poetic feel for her story.

YOU READ IT THREE TIMES? wow! I don't know if there can be a bigger compliment than that. And, about what I write next, hee hee, just wait! ;) Thanks so much for the review.

Natalie.

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie!!!! I was so happy when I saw this was validated. This is a really great story. I can't quote what I liked because the story isn't above the review box, but if it was I would quote what he was thinking when he was about to jump. I think that the emotions are great. They are really emotional (Really?) in a way that works for the story. Nothing is overly done. It's a perfact amount angst.

I'm not trying to be a pusshy fangirl who wants a sequel, but I think that a sequal would go great with this. (Okay, maybe I am a pushy fangirl....)

This is a great story, Ronnie. You absolutly have to write more angst stuff, because year a good. Uh huh, you are.

Author's Response: ALYSSA! *tacklessquishes* you made my day! Really :) Thanks a lot for the review. And a sequel... hmm... I'll think about it. Let's see if I a can come up with something good enough for a sequel to this :) I am actually working on something angsty... keep an eye out for it (; thanks for the review again and for making my day! -Ronnie xxx

This one is amazing. It is so good. The rhyming was amazing. Everything fit well together. I can't choose my favorite stanza because they are all amazing. This one also has a nice story in it. good job. : )

Mreey Christmas!

Author's Response:

Hello ron lover,

Wow, thank you! I wrote this one for a laugh after I came back from Midnight Mass (so, as you can imagine, it was VERY late - or early, depending on how you look at it). We all know that the HP world has a version of another Christmas classic 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen', except 'gentlemen' is replaced by 'hippogriff', so I wondered what other yuletide tunes they may have amended for their own world. Luna's love of Crumple-horned Snorkacks sprang to mind and it seemed like a good way to account for the elusiveness of her favourite creatures as well (haha), so 'Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer' got the Lovegood treatment!

 I'm chuffed to bits that you liked it so much!

Thanks for R & R-ing. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and that your New Year is a happy and safe one, too.

 M :)

ANNALISE.

This was *so* good! I love the tense in this story. It fit so well. The title is also very good.

I like the way you describe where she is. The detail is good. I chuckled a bit with the kangaroos. :D

I'm sorry about the crappyness of this review. Like really sorry. I'll make up for it with your next story. *hinthint* : )

*hugs*

Author's Response: Thank you so much Alyssa! I'm so glad you liked it! I decided to make it very Australian :D Cause it is really funny writing about it with the kangaroos. :) *hugs* ~ Annalise x :)

I finally have time to review this! I've been waiting for days. Anyways.

I forgot to ask this in the last review, but who came to who for the idea of leaving? I'm not sure if this was answered in the last chapter or not.


I like your writing so much. You add so much detail without it being too overpowering or too much. It just fits everywhere.

The part at the gas station is so cute. I can just imagin Snape doing that (only somehow I imagine him as a really hot teen...) with Harry. I'm glad that you added a cute sceene about Sirius and Harry. After a long time of being together Snape would have loosened up a bit. If you didn't have him change his attitude towards Harry a little like you did then I think that it would mess with your story in a bad way. I think that the emotion you have Snape have towards HArry is great too because it's not too much. I think that it would be really bad if you have Snape start loving him, too. So, I think that you have a great balence between the two. It's very IC.

When Lily starts packing to go and Sev stands still, it's like I can feel his world crashing down before I read any more of the story.

I understand why he wants to stay. I'm mad at Lily for leaving. You have made like Sev more than Lily, which I thought would never happen. I *never* thought that I would like Snape more than Lily. You have just don't a great job with his characterization... I just can't describe it.

The Voldemore/Sev part was interesting. (Now you've got me saying Sev insted of Snape. :P). At first I couldn't see it happening. But then Voldemort gave reasons why he didn't kill him and it made sense. Then I remembered that this is an AU story. You've just made this story so believable even though it's AU.

I really love this line:
.
It all happens quickly, really.

It just - in my opinin - makes things flow better. Everything is building up and I'm excited to find out what happens next. But then I got to that line and it's like eveything is in slow motion after that. It's so simple and I know that the main-main ending of the story is coming next. It's also like all of the tension is taking a breather. It gives the story a break, as well as the reader. It's great.

The ending is amazing. I love the small sentences. So Sev dies for Harry? Couldn't Voldemort just kill Harry once Sev died. Or did Sev just do a spur-of-the-moment thing and didn't think about it, like he did it for Lily?

I think that the ending is great. I just love it.

I think that the song is amazing for the story. It fits well. My stillgram sings it to me and it always sounds happy. But for this I imagine it sang in a darker tone. The things is that both work so well. I can't decide. What I can say is that this song is amazing for this story. I never would have thought about choosing this for a songfic. It's amazing.

I think that you should write this from the perspective of the other characters. There is a lot of detail that we don't know and it will be cool to know.

This is my favorite story that you have wrote. It is just so believable. The only thing that seems off is that Lily hasn't been with James for a year and a half. I just can't picture her doing that. (But for the way I imagined Sev in this I can. :P ) But, this is an AU story. And, it's a great AU story because it's so believable and not believable at the same time, if you can follow that.

Great job with this! I really do love it.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! This is probably one of the best reviews I've ever gotten! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and you liked how I portrayed Severus. He's not exactly my favorite character, so I was afraid I would end up making him wooden or unlikable -- it's so good to know that such is not the case! I was a little worried that it wouldn't make sense for Voldemort to spare Snape, but it seems to me that Voldemort despite being the spawn of Satan would still have favorites, and I can imagine Severus being one who he would want to spare. It was Severus who approached Lily and Lily who came up with the idea to run, which I briefly address at the start of the first chapter. I'm definitely doing a piece from James's POV, though, which will make that more clear, as well as deal with the James and Lily apart for so long. Thanks again :)
