Ricochet by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Two potions. Two plots. Two Marauders. What could possibly go wrong? Only everything--including their lives.
This is Gmariam of Ravenclaw writing for the Great Hall School of Mischief Challenge, Outstanding O.W.L.s.
Date: 04/16/12 Title: Chapter 4: Four - The Prestige
Hello!
I read this a few days ago but didn't leave a review as I wasn't logged on ;D But now I am here!
That was a very fitting end to a very entertaining fic. While I love the Marauders, I do think that they can be too reckless sometimes and they (mainly Sirius and James) fail to understand the consequences of their actions. And though no one gets seriously hurt in this fic, that was just one thought that kept flitting across my mind when I read this fic. In a way, it is good for Sirius to feel that fear, if only for a few moments, what repercussions a small prank can have.
I am a covert fan of your James/Lily. Ha! Been reading them for ages but never commented because I was too lazy to get an account. Sorry for that! I just want to say I loved the scenes where James and Lily try in their own way to say what so badly needs to be said. And it was heartwarming for Sirius to feel that way in the end too.
Did I expect that twist to happen?
I am such a fool! My suspicious nature made me think for a while that Snape could have somehow Polyjuiced Lily and ... er tried to get James to jump off the tower ha ha ha. Although, would he have risked that kiss? I am not sure what your thoughts on Snape/James are but it sounds intriguing.
Jokes aside, it was a brilliant twist. It helped you resolve the tension between James and Lily while turning the tables on Sirius.
As a final summary of my thoughts, let me say that this was a hilarious, suspenseful and quite sweet story. (Sorry, I couldn't think of a better substitute for "sweet" D: But I hope you get that I don't mean to reduce the fic to a puddle of fluffy cuteness.) I really loved the last line, too! Although, I didn't get the joke behind the chapter titles D:

Author's Response: Hello Nuts! Thank you so much for the reviews! I'm thrilled to have got you on the twist, although I'm really not sure why in the world you would think Snape had anything to do with it. He's just a greasy git - what's your obsession with him and the Marauders anyway? So no, it wasn't him, but ending the second and third parts on a cliffie left it open so I guess people come up with all sorts of crazy ideas! You are probably right about the Marauders not thinking about the consequences of their actions enough. Hopefully this changes that. Glad you like my J/L stuff. They are my OTP FOREVER. I have loads more stories about them if you'd ever care to read some - long ones, short ones, medium ones, fluffy ones, dark ones, funny ones, and even a few new ones coming up! And hopefully you understand the chapter titles now. It was just me trying to be clever. Thanks again for the lovely review! ~Gina :)

Hahaha! I died so many times while reading this. The idea of Sirius being serious about studying is so bloody bizarre. You had me laughing as soon as the potion took effect.
Now, a little bird tipped me off that you've inserted a "couple of sad ironies" here. Hmm. Is it Sirius calling Peter a genius? Is it him predicting his depressing future in Arithmancy? Is it Sirius studying?
Lol. I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Author's Response: YAY! I'm so so glad you found bits of it funny! I giggled to myself whilst writing some of it. And yes, those are the sad ironies - plus the bit about Sirius just wanting someone to confide in who wouldn't turn him in. Gah. Everytime I write the Marauders I have to throw in something a little bit more serious. Not to mention a Sirius/serious joke, lol. Thanks so much for the review, I hope you enjoy the next part because it's JAMES's TURN! ~Gina :)
Askew by Equinox Chick

A poem about a Potterverse character written for the Sharp Challenge.
Date: 04/05/12 Title: Chapter 1: Askew
This poem is such a beautiful perfection. I love the bombarding of images upon images and how they sum up Harry so fluently. Good luck!
Author's Response: Oh, expecto, how I love thee. Your very name is poetry.
Thank you very much for the review. It's always a relief when the first one turns up. ~Croll~
Ready For Tomorrow by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Hugo Weasley is about to play his sister for the Quidditch Cup. The night before the match, he goes for a ride out on the Quidditch pitch to clear his head. Instead, he ends up in the Forbidden Forest with one of the last people he would have expected: Scorpius Malfoy, fellow Slytherin and his Quidditch Captain.
Date: 04/16/12 Title: Chapter 1: One Shot
You know I like Scorpius with guys, so I had to read this ;D Nicely done, Miss Gmariam! The scene in the forest was well-written. I'd love to read more Scugo from you.
~Nuts
Author's Response: Thank you Nuts! I do have one other one, maybe I'll post it someday. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Scorpius is such a cad sometimes, isn't he? I mean, who hasn't he been paired up with? Maybe that's what I'll write next! Thanks for the review! ~Gina :)
Uncovered by Death by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: All Scorpius Malfoy had wanted on the Saturday before Halloween was to spend some time in Hogsmeade alone with his girlfriend, Lily Potter. But Fate appeared to have other plans. Not only is her annoying cousin Hugo Weasley tagging along, but in the aftermath of a violent storm, a body is uncovered.
Working with his boss, Head Auror Harry Potter, to discover the identity of the victim, and the truth of her death, Scorpius quickly learns that not all skeletons are buried underground.
This is a the sequel to High. It is not necessary to read that to understand this, but what the heck, you might just enjoy it!
Many, many thanks to Kara (Karaley Dargen) for not only beta'ing this story, but putting up with the tortuous search for a title.

Uncovered by Death won the 2013 QSQ for Best Chaptered Next Generation Story. Thank you very much.
NOW COMPLETE
Date: 03/25/13 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 -Into the Trees
Well, Scorpy, you know the solution, don't you? If Hugo's presence is getting you all hot and bothered, take him to the changing rooms!
I have deigned to read your fic, although I know you're taking your time coming round to your true ship - Scugo.
Author's Response: *sigh*
Delusional. I slipped in an extra just for you, nuts, in chapter 8.

WHAT. I am angry on Scorper's behalf. Proudfoot - AWAY TO THE SHIRE, I SAY! (there's the Proudfoot family there, maybe this Auror is a Hobbit.)
I like Vector's characterisation, not because I find her an exciting character - but because I don't. ;) There has got to be the average strict and not very funny professor heading the school once in a while.
Reading on! The plot has thickened!
Author's Response: I love Vector. She deserves the love of a good man. Gerard Bon-Bon has ruined her LIFE!
Thank you, Expecto. Proudfoot is a git. My beta hates him too. (There is a reason for his gittishness, kind of.)
Plots do thicken, and plots diversify - eeeeeep. Scily FTW!
heh heh heh ~Crollalanza

UGH. I am now too engrossed to properly review-hypnotise you back to your Scugoing reality!!!
Author's Response: SCRUCO .... you mean. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Expecto... May I call you that? Or would you rather, Nuts? Or Patro?
I think ... I love you.
But ... it can never be because my ship is Scily.
Glad you're enjoying the story ♥
Date: 03/25/13 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 - Complications
Fantastic ending!
But if Scorper can be mistaken for his father, he can't have been "good-looking"!
Now, repeat after me: Croll ships Scugo... Croll ships Scugo...
PS: D'you think Zac S and Cormac might make a good pairing?
Author's Response: What? Zacmac ... don;t be so blooming ridonkulous!
What's wrong with Draco? And who is this Scorper?
Repeat after me ... Croll ships Scily and the only person worthy of shipping Scugo is a person called
expecto ... uh ... hestiajones.... Croll ships Scily and the only person worthy of shipping Scugo is a person called expecto ... uh ... hestiajones. .... Croll ships Scily and the only person worthy of shipping Scugo is a person called expecto ... uh ... hestiajones. ....
I think this is the party chapter that you've just reviewed. i liked writing that one - heheh heheh heheh.
Thank youuu, nuts, o love of my life ~Crolllllllllolololololol

i dont like this proudfoot. i hope i am right to dislike him and that this isnt some red herring.
wand wood! this reminds me to - er - remind someone to return to their krum fic...
Author's Response: Vand Vood - Indeed.
Proudfoot is a git.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Oh! Are you writing a Krum fic, too, because my good friend Natalie, who might just be a potato (and not a butternut squash) is writing one, too. And she's going to finish it ... Yes. She. Is. ~Crololololololol
Date: 03/25/13 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 -Undercover
It aint cormac.
But yes, I am glad you are seeing the errors of your ways and slowly moving owards scugo.
Author's Response: errors of my ways? Uhm ... are you reading this properly. Nutso?
It MIGHT be Cormac. You never know. Occasionally it is the first person they thought of - hahahhahahah
Thankieees ~Crolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll~

Lovely Rita by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: 'I know things about Ludo Bagman that would make your hair curl.' Rita Skeeter had told Hermione. But what did she know?
This is Equinox Chick writing her last entry for the Cotillion.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, but Rita's remark has always intrigued me.

I think you should develope your characters more. That could make this a good story. Romance is not all about fluff.
I will envelope you within my arms if you do develope it more. I just hope there won't be any antelopes in it. Or cantaloupe.
Author's Response: but but but this is flufffyyyyyyyy and wufffyyyyyy and not at all rufffffyyyyyyyyy
Thank you so much for your erudite critique, person of indeterminate gender, I will take on board your wondrous suggestion and develope this even more.
I believe the cantaloupe will come in handy, and will the antelope as both could make Rita's hair curl even more.
Ah, expecto_patronuts I adore thee.
