I'm a 22 year old engineering student. I love reading and especially Harry Potter. On MNFF, I really enjoy reading stories that are post-Hogwarts especially stories that do a good job of integrating the cannon characters with original characters. I'm working on a couple different story ideas but so far none have been well developed enough to submit. Being an engineer, I'm much for a math kind of person than a writer and I tend to be very critical of my own work.

A Little More Time by Pallas
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Was it possible to save two lives in the past without altering history? Was it possible to give his parents a future twenty years after they had supposedly died? Teddy Lupin thought so...
Date: 06/27/12 Title: Chapter 26: Epilogue: Beyond the Portal
Haha I love the part in your authors note where you said you have a version with audrey because she's who I read in my head in penny's place the whole story. I thought this was a brilliant story and although from the beginning I was pretty sure it'd have a happy ending you had me scared after the trial that I was wrong; well done!
Potter's Pentagon: The Truth (Book Two) by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This is book two in the "Potter's Pentagon" trilogy. Read "Potter's Pentagon: The Five" first, myesss? Cool.
WARNING: This story contains French people, an internal monologue about a blue orange, adolescent facial hair, good old-fashioned snogging, superstitious truck drivers, a portrait who calls everyone "Mavis," a zoo break-in, some very strange clothes, romantic conflict galore, and Ron Weasley's caffeine addiction. And worst of all, Professor Zabini!
Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament, and when one of the members of Potter's Pentagon is selected to represent the school, much excitement ensues. Simultaneously, elections are being held for Minister of Magic, and things are getting busy at the Ministry.
Not to mention the fact that Jordan's made a new Muggle friend without informing her of the itty-bitty fact that he's magical, Haley has found an enchanted diary of dubious origin, Ted's met a werewolf from Beauxbatons, and Emma... well, Emma's not having a good year.
And what exactly is Ivy up to, anyway?
Everyone has secrets. But in the end, the truth will have to come out.
Starring Best Male Original Character runner-up Jordan Potter, Best Female Original Character Nominees Ivy Potter, Emma Weasley, Haley Potter, and Giorgi Anderson, and Best Male Original Character nominee Ted Lupin! Nominated for Best Post-Hogwarts story in the 2008 Quicksilver Quill Awards!
Date: 09/27/11 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: In Which Jordan Spends Most of the Chapter Being Surprised
So I have a slight problem. If you remember from Harry's fourth year, there's no quidditch and thus no quidditch captain when there is the Triwizard tournament. I didn't mind your first story differing from the epilogue because it was very well written and engaging (and I just pretended the kids had different names or different parent so that it worked in the cannon world I love). However, when things contradict the way Rowling has written the wizarding world, it does bother me a bit.
After Breakfast by Northumbrian
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: After the Wedding comes the reception. Once the guests are greeted and seated, the meal is served, the Wedding Breakfast.
After breakfast? The speeches.
Date: 09/23/11 Title: Chapter 1: After Breakfast
I loved it! Please do one of Ron's speech at Harry and Ginny's weding too (or maybe Hermione's speech would be better since Ron was alway oblivious to Harry's feelings)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
The Story of Harry and Ginnt's wedding will be a longer one. The story is Epithalamium and I have several "chapters" planned, but until I finish one of my other chaptered stories (one either side of the wedding) Epithalamium will progress slowly, sorry.I suppose that you could argue that it started with "The Question (Again)". It will be some time before Epithalamium reaches the wedding, and Ron's best man speech.

The Mind of Arthur Weasley by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
The kitchen at the Burrow has six occupants, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Molly and Arthur. The youngsters look nervous. Arthur suspects that they are up to something. What is going on inside…
The Mind of Arthur Weasley
Date: 04/20/16 Title: Chapter 1: The Mind of Arthur Weasley
I was rereading some of your older stories because I couldn't find anything good that I hadn't already read. Also it had been awhile since I had read some of these and I had forgotten the details. I noticed that in Aurors and Schoolgirls, you list the Weasley family (except Ron) as recieving orders of Merlin second class. However, in this one you say they received orders of Merlin third class. I thought you might want to know since you're normally fantastic at making sure all the details line up in your stories. As usual I've greatly enjoyed your writing. It would be great if you would continue Aurors and Schoolgirls but I also love your more recent stories in progress.
Tales of the Battle by Northumbrian
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Over fifty people died at the Battle of Hogwarts. There are dozens of stories of loss, betrayal, heroism and sacrifice. These are some of those stories.
Nominated for: Best General (Chaptered) story – Quicksilver Quills 2011
Date: 07/10/12 Title: Chapter 25: Index
Well done! I must admit I put off reading this story for a long time cause I didn't want to read a tearjerker. However, this wasn't exactly what I was expecting and it was brilliant. I particularly liked cho's chapter because in your later stories I always thought you were giving her too much credit as a nice person but her POV really made me believe she could grow to be a nice person. I also loved te chapters like Seamus's because his thoughts were so focused on unimportant things like who is dating who. I thought that really put into perspective that although they were fighting a battle for their lives, there were still teenagers trying to live their lives.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
I was tempted to submit this as twenty-five one-shots. But despite the different perspectives, many of the stories are interconnected. I see Cho as basically good, but overy emotional for Harry, who is better at dealing with a girl who gets angry and tells it as it is (Ginny) than one who bottles things up until the tears flow. Seamus is a typical teenage boy (from what little I remember of the experience). This story is, as I’ve said, the foundation on which everything else is built. If you want to know why “my†Terry and Susan became Aurors, this is where you find out.

Strangers at Drakeshaugh by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
The locals in a sleepy corner of the Cheviot Hills are surprised to discover that they have new neighbours.
Who are the strangers at Drakeshaugh?
Nominated for: Best Post-Hogwarts (Chaptered) story - Quicksilver Quills 2011 and
Nominated for: Best Post-Hogwarts (Chaptered) story - Quicksilver Quills 2012
Date: 03/08/15 Title: Chapter 24: Uninvited Visitors
Well as usual it's another exceptional chapter. Knowing your fondness for hiding clues in obscure interactions I reread some previous chapters. I'm guessing Frances is the girl mentioned in chapter 20. I honestly can't wait for another Harry POV chapter as I'm sure he knows so much more about what's going on.
Keep it up
Sarah
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Am I that obvious? Damn! Frances has appeared in an earlier chapter, but that's all I'm saying.The next chapter will be an interlude, but it's also from the perspective of a Muggle. This Muggle, however, knows a lot more than does Jacqui.

Date: 10/16/11 Title: Chapter 9: Interlude: Thirty
I really like this story so far. The idea of the potters living and interacting with muggles is a great one. The tie ins with your other stories about the MIT is also really great because it builds more of a background around the story. I really wish you would update more frequently though, I had to go reread the whole story to remember what was going on when I saw you had posted a new chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
All of my stories tie together, I hope. At least they all take place on the same timeline. This story is very slow to write, and it will remain so unles (as I did for this chapter) I abandon Jacqui as an narrator. She must see enough for you to figure out what's happening, but not enough to get herself Obliviated. I'm trying for a hapter per month.

The Hufflepuff by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Hannah Abbott is a typical Hufflepuff, isn't she?
This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw writing for the Great Bannermakers Hall Challenge
Date: 02/27/14 Title: Chapter 1: The Hufflepuff
I love the world you've created and how all of your stories wind together. It's only because I'm rereading some of them today that I noticed the connection between this and killers. Subtle connections like that always make me happy.
Sarah
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
The person appearing in those two stories also appears in the Lavender story Troth, and one day you'll find out a lot more about her.-N-

Nominated for: Best Post-Hogwarts (Chaptered) story - Quicksilver Quills 2012
Date: 02/26/14 Title: Chapter 21: Finale: Friends and Foes
Man I take a few months off reading fanfiction (almost a year to be fair I was traveling a lot and had to focus more on finishing college) and you add some new stories and finally finish hunters and prey! I was really excited to see it was done and you did a great job!! I particularly liked how it ties all the gang together for this one. I especially think the Robards/Hannah relationship is great. Although I really enjoy your family stories, you tell the best auror office stories. Great job, can't wait to read the next one.
Sarah
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and apologies for the delayed reply; I've had a busy few weeks.
You can expect more updates of Friends and Foes, and other stories, although it will be a while before you see either Robards or Hannah. I hope to get another Auror Office (at least an MIT) story done soon, too.

Locket by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Ron runs away, and runs into a spot of bother.
This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw writing for Round One of the 2012 Character Triathlon.
Date: 06/28/12 Title: Chapter 1: Locket
That was great! I loved Ron's internal dialogue before the snatchers showed up. I thought you did a great job playing to his insecurities and letting him really think through his confusing emotions. I think it'd be great if you did one with Bill's POV of when Ron shows up at shell cottage.
Author's Response: Thank you.
I’m never sure how well this sort of internal dialogue narrative works, so I’m glad you liked it. Interesting idea, too, I’ll think about it.

Zygosis by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
Zygosis: the biological process of conjugation; the union of cells or gametes.
Life exists to procreate, to recreating itself, being created by many different methods. Because of that urge to create new life, Auror Albus Potter finds himself in trouble.
This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw writing for Round Two (Minor Characters: Harry Potter’s birthday) of the 2012 Madam Pomfrey’s One-Shot Character Triathlon.
Date: 07/31/12 Title: Chapter 1: Zygosis
All three of the one shots you've done for this challenge have been great. I think this one is my favorite but the one with Luna was surprisingly good. You always do a much better job of writting her character than most people.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
I very rarely (only twice, I think) write anything set beyond now (2012), so 2026 is something of a departure for me. I had a lot of fun with all three of these stories. I was trying for all four prompts, but my Marauders (Punk Rock) era songfic required even more research than the Luna story.
Luna is fun to write, but (in my opinion) difficult to get right. Glad you liked Yggdrasil, too.

James and Me by Northumbrian
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Annabel is having a bad day. Her sudden and unexpected meeting with a face from her past is unlikely to improve matters.
This was Northumbrian of Ravenclaw House writing for Round Three of the 2012 Character Triathlon. This is now a longer chaptered story.
Nominated for: Best Original Character (Chaptered) story (for the narrator, Annabel) and Best Next Generation Story - Quicksilver Quills 2013
Date: 10/08/12 Title: Chapter 2: Persistence
I loved this! I also kind of hate it though cause now whenever I read Strangers at Drakeshaugh (my favorite of your stories) I'll be picturing James and Annie together. At least if you ever write about the Potter's moving away from Drakeshaugh I'll know that the families will eventually have to be friends again if these two start dating. The Charltons have always been my favorite of your original characters and I'd hate to see them loose touch with the Potters.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
I’ve had this story floating around for a while, and one reason it wasn’t written sooner was because it contains spoilers for Strangers. However, it fitted the Challenge.This story will continue, but not soon. I certainly haven’t finished with the Chaltons.

Friends and Foes by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It took Harry and his friends years to discover who killed Colin Creevey. Ginny and Luna's classmate is the only person whose killer remains free. It is 2001, and the search has been ongoing for a year. Will the killer ever be brought to justice?

Hmm... Millie Flynn huh? Sure that's not Millie Flint? I think I know where this is at some point going. Well done as usual.
Author's Response: Certain! Anyway, who is Millie Flint? :-D -N-
Professor Doom and Son by Kerichi
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Before he can dominate the world, Professor Doom must first take care of his son: Four-year-old Super Wizard.
Date: 04/01/16 Title: Chapter 1: Father's Day Presents
Very cute. I've read and loved the book you listed as your inspiration and that was exactly the kind of cartoon I was imagining. I will say that they've released a Darth Vader and Daughter one too that's also very cute and funny.
Author's Response: Thank you! I saw that too and wondered about a Professor Doom and Daughter story, but since there are so many SSHG fics floating around the Potterverse, the thought was too squicky and I had to pass on the idea. :D
