Ticklish by armagod679
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Never tickle a sleeping dragon. This should be fairly obvious, but Godric Gryffindor, the bravest man in England, has never cared about the obvious.

A really great story, which keeps in with the personalities of the characters. It was very sad, especially how you reminded me how Harry would (ostensibly) be there forever.
Was it Petunia that sent Laura? She was fidgeting around the time Vernon asked who had sent for her.
Author's Response: Hi, Alfred. Thank you so much for leaving a review for my story. Yes, it's a very sad situation that Harry is in, but at least we (if not Harry) know that it will get better soon in a surprising way.
I have never specifically said who submitted Harry's name (I really don't know), but it was not Petunia because she didn't do special things for Harry at any other time, and if she wanted to give Harry good gifts, she could have given them directly (unless, of course, she really did want to give good gifts but thought that Vernon would not approve, so she took a roundabout route, but that's unlikely).
I depicted her as nervous because she wanted to get the visitor out of the house and end the unpleasant scene as quickly as possible. She might have also worried about what the neighbors would think if they saw Laura in her Father Christmas cap, carrying her red flannel sack of gifts, coming up to the door.
Welcome to the MNFF archives. As you can see, there are many wonderful authors here, and great stories. I hope you will be inspired to post a story of your own!
Harry Potter and the Coma by Elisabeth McNight

Great Fanfic. Well written, good character representation, etc.
And the mention of Fred at the end was fantastic.
What The Thestrals Did by Oregonian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: After the Battle of Hogwarts, everyone had their tale to tell, some stories well known and widely repeated, and others so obscure that they have never been told. Until now.
Date: 06/08/16 Title: Chapter 1: What The Thestrals Did
Brilliant story, but I belive that when talking about cleaning the thestrals,
("He prayed that Scourgify would prove sufficient to wash it off") it would be more correct to say
"A cleaning charm would prove sufficient to wash it off"
(Also, I think that it's spelt 'lumos maxima' and not 'maximus')
Author's Response: Thank you for your review. I'm very glad you like the story. And thanks for your constructive suggestions. I did a little research and found that "lumos maxima" is only in the films, not in the books, so that's probably why I hadn't seen it. And "lumos" is not an actual Latin word, so we can't determine if it's inherently masculine or feminine. So "lumos maxima" it is.
I am curious about your rationale for the other suggestion. If you read this response, let me know, since I always strive to avoid mistakes. Thank you again for reading.
