Through Fields of Gold by Seren
Rated: •Summary: She could walk through the graveyard without blinking, bypassing the graves of fallen childhood friends. She could walk through the halls of Hogwarts without missing a step, tracing back a path to her first day as she rushed through the school. She could even make her way to the Forbidden Forest and trample through it, ignoring the splashes and stains that still marred the aged trees and wasted ground. But Hermione cannot make herself face the Great Lake, calm on this balmy summer day, where she had watched three people she had slowly grown to love fade from existence. Character Death within. Post-Hogwarts.
Date: 09/19/05 Title: Chapter 1: Through Fields of Gold [one-shot]
Your stories gives me such a wonderful sad feeling. I cried when Luna mouthed that they loved them and then again when they ran like kids in the end. I love it when stories give me this melancholy feeling and I must say I truly love the way your storis make me fell. This was simply beautiful.
The Prodigal Son by Insecurity
Rated: •Summary: When Lord Voldemort takes over the Ministry, Percy is left confused as to where his loyalties lie. He is brainwashed into believing that his family are the enemy and that the purge of “filthy blood” is necessary for the Wizarding world’s survival. The Weasley family are now in grave danger, as there are no limits to how far Percy will go to serve his new master. This fan fiction contains the theme of death and murder, including a few traumatic images. I’ve put it at PG-13 because as a whole I don’t believe it to be too bad, but I caution anyone who is uncomfortable with issues regarding death.
Date: 10/24/05 Title: Chapter 2: Part Two
I really liked it. I simply love angsty stories. I think it's well written and you could really feel how distraught Percy was. There is two things I didn't like. As much as I can see the match being of great value to the story, I just don't think it's likely. I see Percy as a person who would use his wand. Secondly I think they take to much time talking instead of fleeing out of the burning building. Other than that I really enjoyed the story. It's left me in a nice dark mood. Keep up the good work ;-)
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it. The match will haunt me as one of my canon error shames and you are true to say they would spend less time gossiping and more time fleeing. It depends how fast they talk, if they could get the words out really quickly then it would work, and move around a lot whilst they said them. I guess I was just trying to heighten things, and by doing that I create a plot hole! Oopsie Laura!
It Was Only a Kiss by winky123
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A storm is falling over Hogwarts and the events that occur could jeapordize a strong friendship. What happens when two best friends think they are in love with the same girl? How do past experiences affect their better judgement? Who does Hermione love in return and can she choose between them?
Date: 06/05/06 Title: Chapter 3: Decisions
Oh, Aly. That was so beautiful.
Throughout the entire story I could feel the cold icy storm outside. I invisioned the dark corridors of Hogwarts as Ron wandered back to the dormitory full of longing and despair, and Hermione sitting on the cold stone floor for several minutes, emitions raging through her.
I feel for each and everyone of them for being in that confusing situation. But mostly I feel for Hermione and Ron for having to sacrifice their love for eachother to honour their friendship with Harry.
The only critisism I can come up with is when you wrote 'Hours later...'. It seems a little abrupt. Instead you should just have written Hours later Hermione etc. [/nitpicking]
Lovely, lovely, lovely.
Author's Response: Thank you for your comments, your reactions were exactly what I was aiming for. As for the nitpicking...I was iffy about putting \'Hours later\' there..but for the life of me I couldn\'t think of a way to show time had passed. I can\'t believe I didn\'t think up the simple solution you suggested. Thanks again for the review!

Interesting twist to the Potterverse. It was beautifully written and I must admit; it helps that my TV turned over to night-radio with classical music when I started reading. It really made the whole story seem a bit angsty and I really felt with Holly. By the way, nice name. In the true spirit of naming the Evans girls after flowers and as Poultrygeist said: I like that it's the same as Harry's wand. Beautiful.
A Seed From The Ground by Seren
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Auror-in-training Kingsley Shacklebolt is learning to blend in with the crowd in downtown London. There, he meets a small, lost girl, and learns how much impact a simple act of kindness can really have.
Date: 03/06/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Seed From the Ground
Wonderful feel-good story.
I've always admired and loved your writing style. You seem to say so many things in so few words. The story is very beautiful and descriptive, and yet it's easy for everyone to read and understand.
I loved how it turned out to be Hermione :-) I hadn't seen that one coming.
Healing Ronald by Ravensgryff
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Ron Weasley has to learn how to put his life back together after the final battle. If left to his own devices, he would be content to whither away. But an unexpected friendship gives him the courage and motivation to heal.
Date: 02/02/06 Title: Chapter 1: Healing Ronald
Beautiful story. You probably know my prefered ship ;-) but I thought I wanted to try something else, and I'm glad I did.
The characterization was wonderfully done. You did a really good job with Luna and Ron's feelings were spot on.
I like the idea that Ron is writing a letter and I have to admit that it made me cry when I realised it was for Hermione. I never cry when I read fan fics but this one really touched my heart.
I never thought I would like another Ron/Luna fic other than Harriet Evans' Dancing with Me, (I usually don't like Ron/OC fics) but this really made me change my mind.
Excellent.
The Twelve Days of Christmas, by Crookshanks by Madnessisme
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Crookshanks is bored, and can't sleep due to the younger students singing Christmas songs. But one of them catches his interest, and being a smart critter, decides to word it himself ... entry for Winter Snows Challenge Four, by Madnessisme of Slytherin.
Date: 12/08/05 Title: Chapter 1: Merry Christmas, Crookshanks!
Very nice and sweet. You show that even though Crookshanks is part Kneazel he has the same wishes as any normal cat. Love it.
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, Crookshanks is just an ordinary little house cat, deep down inside ... ignore the fact that his mistress is a witch, and that he helped bust a traitor-turned rat with a dog-in-disguise ...

Ah yes. The Grand Adventures of the Mighty Luna Lovegood. Why have I never thought of approaching a dragon like that? I'll remember that till next time. I can't wait to get started on the next chapter, but it'll have to wait. I can't spend my entire day at work reading fan fics ;-) Great job.

Great job guys. I've loved Luna's magnificent hat since I read 'The Calm Before The Storm' and it was wonderful to read how she made it; and also hearing some more about Frackerpux. I love how you portrayed Luna's father. He's exactly how I imagined him: distracted but sweet and loving; and the Christmas stollen......I laughed so much I almost couldn't breath :-) And that includes the dance scene as well. I can't wait to see Charlie's character evolving. Looking forward to it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, Foxy! If all goes to plan, we should have the next chapter up very soon. *shakes fist at Poultrygeist*
Harriet
Author's Response: *hides from the menacing Harriet* I'll get right on that, boss!
Thank you, Foxy Wolf for your kind words. I see you recognized my handiwork!

Black New Year by Mugglechump
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: New Year's Eve finds two of the Black sisters at the grave of the third. Submitted for the Redemption Challenge for Ravenclaw House
Date: 04/02/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Beautiful.
*Stands up and applauds*
That was fantastic. I loved how Andromeda was an integrated part of the Black family before she met Ted.
The redemption bit worked wonderfully; I even felt redeemed myself :-)
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m so glad you think I pulled off the redemption aspect. I was afraid it was too abrupt. P.S. I love my banner!
His Verity by joanna
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Enter Verity, Faith's sister. Enter Charlie, Faith's colleague. When Charlie comes home, Faith asks him to buy a present for her little sister. And that's when it all begins. Realizing that Verity just might be the girl of his dreams, Charlie asks his mum to invite Verity for Christmas. What happens at the Burrow? Read on to find out!
Date: 03/23/06 Title: Chapter 1: His Verity
Lovely story.
I felt warm inside when I read the last part; Verity sliding her hand into Charlie's and the light kiss. *Feels fuzzy inside*
You did a great job on the characterization. Even though we didn't see much of Mrs. Weasley I really think you nailed her. I love how you portrayed Verity. Her character fitted her name very well. It's funny, I already imagined her sisters names being along the same lines as the one you wrote. It's like their names portray dreams and fantasies, while Verity's name portray the 'real world', the truth.
I do have two minor nitpicks:
'a young owl with a bit funny look to it.'
Shouldn't it be 'a bit of a funny look', or just no bit.
Plus, I'm pretty sure Ginny's full name is spelled Ginevra not Guinevra ;-)
But all in all a delightful read. *Rushes off to use Ginny/Blaise banner*
Author's Response: Thank you for the review, Foxy. I shall correct the mistakes. Enjoy the banner!
You are insulting my delicate feelings again. by coppercurls
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Warnings: the following poems may contain sarcasm, witty repartee, little black dresses, and Inter-Office Unity events.
Date: 08/21/06 Title: Chapter 1: You are insulting my delicate feelings again.
Oh Kristin. This was absolutely wonderful. I love how Hermione points out that Draco's poem doesn't rhyme and he tells her it's actually free verse *snorts*
Great job. I'm sure Katie loved this :-)
Author's Response: Thanks very much. I thought Hermione\'s nitpicking needed a suitable response (however valid her point may be). Glad to make you smile.

Written for SomberBallad for the Secret SPEW challenge.
8/15 - I've responded to all reviews! Thank you all so much for your lovely words. They're much appreciated.
Date: 03/27/06 Title: Chapter 1: One Shot
I've got chills; the good breathtaking kind ;-)
Your story was so powerful. I felt every feeling from it sorrounding my head and my heart, and I felt tears coming to my eyes in the end.
I would love to be able to give some constructive critisism, but I can't find anything to criticize. I could say something like 'Where were everyone else?', but it didn't matter. All that mattered was Harry and Hermione and what they were feeling in the moment. I loved how she wasn't able to smile or even to feel cold.
It didn't even bother me that it was written in first person. I usually don't like that, but it made Hermione's despair and numbness seem more intense throughout the story.
You've definately gotten yourself another fangirl :-)
-Christina
Author's Response: Yay!! thanks so much, dear :) At some point, I may write a piece describing the situation that landed the characters in this setting... it would explain a lot. It;\'s all in my head - just a matter of getting it out in the right way.
Magical Home by Lasweetie
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This was an English assignment that told us to describe somewhere we felt at home. I chose Hogwarts. And I *sob* don't own Hogwarts or it's many students! I don't even claim to own the plot! I don't even own as much as a dust bunny under the bed or Parvati Patil! All I own are my dancing shoes and a severe jealousy of the woman who penned the greatest story on earth!
Date: 06/27/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Poem
Very nice. I can totally imagine you sitting with a quill just to get the right feeling of your own poem and just writing it down as you look out the window and dream yourself away to the halls og Hogwarts.
What did your teacher think of the poem?
Author's Response: I got an A+ ! She thought it was simply marvelous! Actually she said it was very good but still!

And please review after you read!
Twelve hundred square metres of thanks go to HermyRox12, who nominated this little ditty for Best Poem in the QsQ's. I'm all a'flutter!
Date: 04/21/06 Title: Chapter 1: The One and Only Chapter... 'The Muddy Mud Puddle'
Very nice, light-hearted poem. The flow of the rhymes works very well.
There is one thing though. Apart from them knowing about modern engineering, I doubt that Salazar Slytherin would resort to using Muggle machines; let alone praising them.
Author's Response:
^^ Yeah... yeah, I actually noticed that just a little while ago - after a million proof-reads that didn\'t ever occur to me. My genius is of a hidden variety.
HOWEVER, from now on, when in relation to this poem, I choose to believe that Slytherin had no blood biases, but believed in blood-type segregation for purely moral and political reasons, not because he was judgemental or of puritan beliefs.
Thank you for your review - I\'m glad my... umm... unusual interpretation of Salazar isn\'t totally fatal for the poem.

Wow, Catrin. That was......strong. All I'm left with right now is a feeling of wanting to help somebody.
I like the structure and flow of the poem. Well Done.

Date: 06/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
Very nice story, Jules. You made the dialogue between Ginny and Hermione seem very believable. Also the fact that Hermione seemed to hesitate for just a few seconds when Ginny asked her if she had time to talk.
Keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Thanks a lot Christina!
It Matches Your Eyes by bittersweet_lullaby
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: I met her on the train ride to Hogwarts. We both got sorted into Hufflepuff, we take all the same classes, and we're best friends. But I've started to feel a little more for Hannah Abbott.
Two friends, both female. One life-changing infatuation that quickly turns to the greatest thing in the world: love. Susan Bones reflects on her life and explores the what-ifs of her relationship with Hannah Abbott.
Date: 06/18/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
That was so wonderfully sweet. It's nice to see you take on an unusual pair. Especially Hannah and Susan. It doesn't even feel weird. You make it seems natural and, as I said, sweet.
Good job.
Author's Response: Really? Thank you! That\'s so sweet :) Thanks for reviewing!
