NOTE: 'Simon says...' was started after GoF and finished after OotP, HBP was already disregarded, same goes now for DH. Meaning: there'll be no post-DH alterations due to newly revealed Canon, nor will you encounter spoilers. This story is set AU and will remain there.
Jan 11th: Cheers! I found someone at PI to beta for me. Colon deserves a load of thanks! Well, the next chapter is waiting in line. Let's up the hacker-problems will be sorted out soon...
I study languages, liked writing ever since I discovered the art of holding a pen, and read as much as I somehow can manage in my free time.
I started beta-reading fanfiction quite a while ago, but recently quit being a PI-beta due to real life taking over. However, I'll still give my opinion on single chapters.
My current project involves the training of my language skills by translating the story of a friend of mine, Altron.
If you're interested in reading the original, German, version (or maybe even the sequel?), drop me a message, I'll be happy to send you the links.
Every review to this story will naturally be forwarded to Altron.
Nitwit! Blubber! Tweak!

H/G and R/Hr
(pre-Deathly Hallows)
*Completed*
*Quote from The Epilogue*
Suddenly Harry was kissing her as if he couldn’t resist the temptation. There was a kind of frenzy to the kiss at first, a kind of desperate need, but it melted into something soft and sweet and gentle, a promise of a future when kisses would never be limited. When they broke apart he rested his forehead on hers, sprinkling a few affectionate butterfly kisses across her face. “I love you,” he murmured.

of course, people'll continue reading - it's food ffs like yours that keep the Potterverse alive. So, do you happen to have any food? :-)
Author's Response: Thanks, that makes me happy to read! And nope, sorry, neither Harry not I have any food ;)
Date: 12/31/06 Title: Chapter 6: The Adventures of Dudley Dursley
*scratches her head* I know Bill is currently in Germany, but he's not excatly discribed as short...so is none of the Weasleys men. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's Neville.
I rather liked Mrs. Figg. Apology accepted. :-)
Author's Response: Neville is an important character in later chapters. . . good guess, but you\'ll have to wait and find out! Thanks for the review.
Date: 12/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Man and The Baby
Someone who has my story on their fave's list, has yours on it aswell, so I figured I might like it ;-) and wow, it totally blew me. This is some amazing beginning, the plot sounds promising, you really seem to know how to create an air of suspense...I'm damn glad I can go straight to the next chapter without waiting for an update!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you gave it a try and liked it so much! Thanks for the review.
Date: 12/10/06 Title: Chapter 2: The Way It Should Have Been
caught me, I did and actually re-read the first part cuz I thgought I missed sth, hehe.
Sons of Voldemort does sound scary, but I'm not sure they'd use his name. Though...one could argure that now that he's dead, they dare to speak it out in order to glorify him. oh well.
You do know to use cliffs, don't you?
Author's Response: It does seem a little off that they might use that name, but I like to think they like the fame associated with it. I just love cliffhangers, evil writer that I am. Thanks for the review.
Date: 12/10/06 Title: Chapter 3: The Then and The Now
aaaahhh! I was wondering when Snape would make an appearance, woot! (and yay, sounds like it'll be evil!Snape) *claps hands in excitement*
The "I'm pregant scene" is just too cute!
was afraid she'd end up with lovely Draco, poor thing. But maybe this is the exact way to later help her friends.
Detainment camps, eh? Is that the place where we'll see Hermione again?
I hope you don't think of me as a freak, reading three chaps in a row (maybe even four), but hey, it's sunday and I'm sick! :]
Author's Response: No, no, please read on! I\'m glad you liked it so much, and you seem to have developed many good theories. . . . Thanks for the review.
Date: 12/12/06 Title: Chapter 4: The Sins of the Father
uuh, so typical Snape. he's really somone you don't want to cross. yeah, Snape and Lily is indeed rather disgusting, but it would make sense. unfortunately.
and Lupin has gone to the States for help...now if you let them act as they did recently in real life, it's gonna get ugly.
and yep, I can't help speculating, which can turn into a problem when you mix up different ffs... ;-)
Author's Response: Snape is simply someone you love to hate. Some people may be into the theory of him killing Dumbledore on Dumbledore\'s orders, or something like that, but not me. He\'s evil all the way. I\'m glad my story was interesting enough to bring out speculation! Thanks for the review.
Date: 10/28/07 Title: Chapter 13: The Words You Never Want To Hear
*splash* that was me falling of that huge cliff you just dumped me on! So, Ginny lost her memory, As thick as Malfoy might be, I doubt that Snape won't find the secret passage. So, let's just hope she finds a way out of that room before Snape finds a way in. Poor Hermione. btw: Did she get a chance to tell the others about the portkey yet?
Author's Response: Haha, I\'m sorry about that cliff! But come on, you\'ve got to know they\'re about to come at the end every chapter by now! Thanks for the review, and as for Hermione passing the important info on: wait and find out ;)
Date: 12/31/07 Title: Chapter 14: The Start of the End
oho, gotta love the ending! (okay, I like very chapter with a snarky Snape in it, so yeah, yeah, yeah for this one) :-) Happy Holydays to you!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked this chapter, and Happy Holidays to you too!
Date: 02/14/07 Title: Chapter 8: The Last Chance
touching, tearjerking, sad, wonderful, heartripping, great - so many adjectives to describe this. Of cpurse readers would hope, but the story's better with the marriage. Let's just hope the potion will work...
Author's Response: Yeah, the marriage really is important to the plot. I\'m glad you liked the chapter nonetheless, thanks for the review.
A Past Reclaimed by nuw255
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Sequel to A Stolen Past. Please read that story first, as this one really won’t make sense if you don’t.
Harry Potter has rejoined the Wizarding world after a year-long absence, but still has no memory of his time at Hogwarts. Will he ever get his memory back? Will he be able to pass his classes without it? And most importantly, will he ever be able to defeat Lord Voldemort? Read on as the last of the mysteries introduced in A Stolen Past are finally revealed.
This is a story of friendship and mystery, with a healthy dose of H/G thrown in for good measure.
Date: 01/26/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Weasley Twins
hahaha, nice beginning for a sequel, Fred and Geoge surely know how to brighten one's day. :-) Coolies for rescuing Tyler, I wonder if he'll develop magical skills sometime in the course of this story?
Author's Response: Thank you! I just love Fred and George. It\'s a shame they\'re out of school and couldn\'t be featured more in this story, but I love the first few chapters because of them. I\'m glad to see that you\'ve decided to stick with this story and read the sequel. I hope you find it as enjoyable as I do. :-)
Date: 01/27/07 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Sport Broomstick Repair
of course I'll keep reading, this is too good not to.
Who is it for? Taylor? Can Muggles ride broomsticks? Ginny, then? :-)
Author's Response: Yay! And Muggles can\'t ride broomsticks, so... *hint* :-)
Date: 01/27/07 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Hermione’s Task
“He followed me home,” he added, gesturing toward Harry. “Can we keep him?” - wonderful :-)
Oh, I can really picture Tyler sitting there, grinning broadly and being proud of having been petrified. *gg* He's great.
well, so Harry found out a great deal about his past, but it's still different since he doesn't feel the memories yet, I mean for him there's no emotions assoiciated with those happenings. I hope the boy won't crush ocne that happens, after all, there's no way to prepare him for that...
Author's Response: I love that line. The twins are so much fun! :-) As far as Harry\'s mental and emotional health go, we\'ll just have to hope he matures enough to be able to handle whatever ends up coming his way. Was that a cryptic enough response? ;-)
Date: 01/27/07 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Pickpocket
Too bad it didn't work out, Umbridge: theft-victim of a Muggle-boy. Hilarious thought.
But, Big Question: what's she doing strolling around in public? Shouldn't she have been notified that she's been found out and seek a hiding place, maybe in the Caribbean? :-)
Thanks for bringing in Luna, I love her.
Author's Response: Isn\'t Luna fun? And if we know anything about Umbridge, it\'s that she\'s cocky. She firmly believes that nothing can be proven against her, so why should she arouse suspicion by acting guilty? And you\'re definitely right that it would have been hilarious if Tyler had succeeded. I almost wrote it that way, but then I realized that it would screw up my plot so I had to change it. I think you\'ll end up liking the way I did it, though (I hope so, anyway).
The E-Journal of an Evil Janitor by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It's the sequel to "The Dark Lord's Blog," guys! (And girls... and, I don't know, gender-neutral people and centaurs and walruses and parameciums and shrubs and stuff.)
Several months have passed since Filch came into possession of Voldemort's magical powers, and he has taken over Hogwarts.
With Filch serving as The Dark Lord Snoogerblossom, the position of Hogwarts caretaker/janitor is open. Seeing as Voldemort wants his magical powers back, he and his extremely attractive new sidekick, Mungo Phelps, go undercover at Hogwarts, with Mungo posing as a transfer student and Voldemort posing as the new janitor. Wacky high-jinks ensue.
Join Voldemort as he tries to get back his magic, kill Harry Potter, steal Gryffindor's sword to make a shiny new Horcrux, romance Minerva McGonagall, discover Sirius's secret to becoming a chick magnet, and swallow a teaspoon of his pride to mop up spills the Muggle way and wear an unflattering uniform! WARNING: Extremely silly and very out-of-character.
If you haven't read "The Dark Lord's Blog," well, what are you doing? GO READ IT NOW! Just click on my author name and you'll be directed to my chaotic author page, which lists all my wacky stories.
This is on hiatus, dudes. Ooh! But it was twice nominated by nice (and insane) people for the Best Humour Fic award in the Quicksilver Quills thingy!
Also, some wonderful loony nominated Mungo Phelps for Best Male OC, making him if possible even more conceited! (No one had the heart to tell Mungo that he was designed as an example of a terrible OC.)
EXCITING NEWS! "The E-Journal of an Evil Janitor" is now continued as a Twitter blog! Go to Twitter dot com and find thedarklord666. Voldy's waiting!
