hey, i'm sara, and i just adore harry potter! all seven books in the series are exquisite, and the fanfiction is generally pretty awesome too! some other favorite books of mine include: lord of the rings, pride and prejudice, wheel of time series, any books by shannon hale, terry pratchett, gerald morris or l.a. meyer, and many others that i'm inconveniently forgetting...
so, now that you know a little bit more about moi, i'll end by saying this little tid-bit: i love to read, i love to write and i love reviews. the three "r's". so how about i write, and you guys read and review, yes? great! oh, but please don't get angry at the three-month long gaps in between updates...
i love this! very sweet and fluffy, and i love the ending. great job, i like your writing style too. very cute!
well, good first chapter! it was a little strange how lily despised james at first and then was willing to help him with his drawings. also, what's with the part at the end: "duh", said wormtail. ? that was a bit weird. anyway, good start, i can't wait for the next chapter.

erg! i just tried to delete my double-post and it didn't work...so, sorry for double-posting...er, triple-posting! good story, keep it up.
Ginny stays up one night after her fifth year trying to face what she dreads the most....
this was really good. you really got their feelings down on paper--no pun intended :P--so that i felt clearly what ginny and harry (mostly ginny) were feeling. the ending was good too, though a bit dramatic. really good job!
Author's Response: Thanks, just wait, it\'ll get better
sweet! i like the style of this story, how it's written in the present tense. also, it's cool how you kind of document the major happy things that happen to susan in each year, until it starts getting bad. then, right when it seems like it can't get any worse, it gets a whole lot better, and it's very happy and optimistic! it makes you think that anything can happen. very good, kind makes you feel warm and fuzzy--like champagne--inside!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! That\'s so sweet!

Author's Response: Thanks!
great chapter, very funny! i'm on to the next one...
Author's Response: :-D
hey, great chapter! something i really like is how you tell us what's happenning in the present, and then lily doesn't have quite enough time to tell us about it, it's like a little teaser-trailer or something--i can't wait to hear about james' hair cut! i also like how you're subtly inserting some comments into here that hint that lily is starting to like james...how she notices his hair more now, etc. and of course, james is only pretending to not like her anymore...i just know it...good job, once again!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you notcie the little subtleties...I just love writing them in...
oh, lovely! great chapter, too short though! quick updates are the only cures to my post-breakup-from-the-epic-tale-of-the-hogwarts-food-fight syndrome. hehe, that didn't make much sense, i only mean that i need more1 these are very well written chappies, unlike this review...sry, i'm tired. but i really liked this chapter! keep on writing.
Author's Response: Lol, I liked your review, however badly written. :) I\'ll update soon, because of your syndrom.
oh, squee squee squee! i loved this chapter, all the fluff was brilliant! it makes me squirm with pleasure. very well written, i can't wait until you update! i read this entire story in one day (probably more like one hour) and i LOVE it! great job, i'm looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: I really, really hope to have more soon. Thanks for reviewing all of those chapters.
great addition to the story! i had to reread the whole thing over again to remember what had happened, but it was worth it. i love how totally clueless lily is--i don't think anyone could be that clueless in real life, but in this story, it works. it's very funny, and i like how all of your characters are different yet defined. good job, update quickly please!
wow, i really like this so far! though the idea of have detention for a whole year is a bit far-fetched, i think it'll make for a good plotline! also, i really liked your characterization of lily; the way she was quite specific in nameing herself, in stating the time, in counting the number of detentions...that all seems very lily-ish. also, her temper and use of sarcasm is something i like very much! i'm on to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Yea...I agree...sort of wild...but I just figured, what the heck, it won\'t be the only crazy story out there...Thanks for the thoughtful review. By the way, I love your story too.
hehe, i love lily's distinctive voice--it's very funny and very lily-ish, and the plot line seems to be going quite well. all we need to make this story perfect is an update...*hinthint*...and no, subtlety is not something i excel at.
ha! that was a great chapter! i loved her interaction with sirius, i think he likes sophie!...and i love her vanishing of james' paper--great chapter, i'm on to the next one!
Author's Response: Thanks! That is a matter still being debated. By the by, if anyone wants to share their views, feel free.
hehe, lily is great! she's so perfectly lily-esque! i loved peter, too, that was histerical. the one thing i would suggest workin gon is just little things like typos. for example, at the end you wrote "this detention ha seemed oddly short" rather than has seemed, and i think there were a couple in the beginning of the chapter as well. but my favorite part was when lily said that she had dreamt about her secret admirer, and it hurt to know that it was just james--that really captured her emotion perfectly, its just as i would feel in her situation, so great job with that!
Author's Response: Yeah, I hate the stupid typos...I just can\'t spot them...but luckily I got betas for that...Thanks for the reviews, they are a lot more thorough than most I receive...not that I don\'t adore the short ones...
oh my god, this was hilarious! really, truly, funny, and you mad the food fight sound so fun that i wanted to have one too! wow, that sounds fun! anyway, i also really loved the conversation with james at the end of the food fight, that was so realistic, and i love how lily's too proud to cry in front of him so she throws strawberry ice cream at him and runs away. great chapter, once again!
Author's Response: Thanks...again, lol. It seems you really understand Lily\'s character...awesome!
garrh!!!!!!! oh my god, this is so dramatic! its crazy, i'm loving the update, i don't have the brainpower to write any kind of intelligible review right now, but i'll probably come back in a few days once all this lovely james/lily action has sunk into my mind. thank you so much for this chapter! you rock my dumbly-dorr socks.
oh! oh, this makes my heart ache! i need lily to tell them about james and apologize to james and i want to know everything's going to end up all right! (even though i already know it will, cause that's just the way the story goes :D) you're a good storyteller, you make everything realistic, you pay attention to the details, and you wrap me up and take me along for the ride! great job, i can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Oh, no, it makes your heart ache! But... that kinda makes me glad to hear. :D I\'m so glad you like that I\'m a good stoyteller - that\'s such a nice compliment!\r\n\r\nThanks for reviewing!\r\n\r\nYours truly,\r\nAmelia Bedelia
