40 year old who is inexorably drawn to all things Harry Potter. I also have a fanfic posted in the Lumos and Eros n Sappho sections of Sycophant Hex, for those of you who are in that mind also. Thanks for looking,and reading!
My stories are uploaded to my livejournal first. You can check them out at www.hogwartshoney.livejournal.com
You ROCK Dawn! ;o) I like the storyline very much and the B.A.T. chapter is quite telling, in spite of it being so short. Looking forward to the following chapters!
Okay, that 'hurricane' remark was TRULY a classic!!!
As for Ginny's present to Harry, i do believe that I'm STILL crying! Such a sap!
Enjoying the tale, looking forward to the other chapters !!
Author's Response: Speaking as the sappy writer, I'm very happy that you enjoyed it. I was getting teary as I wrote it. Thanks for the review!
Nicely done, esp. Dumbledore's visit
Author's Response: Thank you! I dearly love Dumbledore, so he comes into play a lot in this story.
Who knew Percy could be such a PRICK !!!
Good on ya Ginny!! I LOVE the wandless magic too, she's powering up as she gets older. !!!
Author's Response: I never liked him in the books, so I found it really satisfying to make him act like such a jerk. I also want to show that Ginny is a very powerful witch - maybe more than any of us realize. Thanks for all of your thoughtful reviews!
Goosebumps!!! I loved that Harry got a turn at being the agressor for once.
Lovin' it !!! going to read more, even though it's 1.30AM!
Author's Response: WOW! Goosebumps AND I'm making you lose sleep??? I'm loving your reviews :-)
Ron and Hermione- finally !!! Wonderfully written, especially with Ron's feelings, which i think we've all understood but they've never really been 'put out there'. *claps*
Harry & Ginny - lordy, you sure strung us out for 18 Chapters!!! but still, very worthwhile. I like it that they're possibly going to end up being THE most powerful wizarding couple of the century!!
Albus & Minerva - classic line, but still... damn! didya HAVE to go for the visual !!! ;o)
I love it, and am happily (albeit impatiently) awaiting more!!
Author's Response: As you can tell, I like to do things that are a bit unconventional. I was tired of reading stories where everyone got together in the first two chapters, and so I decided I was going to make everyone (including myself) wait. Albus and Minerva...the visual was cringeworthy, wasn't it?? Thanks for all of your wonderful reviews. I truly appreciate them.
Post-HBP Song Fic Spolier Alert
Wonderful presentation of the words of that song interspersed throughout the story. Could I talk you into continuing it?? sounds like you're on to a good plotline there...

Woman, you are brilliant. Absolutely brilliant! Wonderful story, great humour, well worth the read!
The 'manly skip' - classic. Still laughing. I like the plot, i think we NEED more chapters so that James can finally make headway with Lilly and Remus and Sirius can 'do their thang'. The nicknames though?? True this story takes place before the 3 were able to become Animagii, and therefore become MWP&P, but....
anyhow, I love it and would like to see more about it.
Oh yeah, and Peter's ''who's the bitch'' line... classic. I'd imagine Sirius being the dominant one though, based on personality types!
keep 'em comin'
Author's Response: I am in the process of writing a Remus\Sirius and James\Lily fic. James is not going to make headway with Lily in this particular fic because they do not get together until 7th year and this fic takes place in 4th year. I prefer the MWPP nicknames, but they don't perfect becoming animagi until 5th year and I wanted some nicknames. I picture Sirius as the dominant one too...That's all I'm going to say about THAT! Thanks for reviewing!
Wonderful story!! 10 +++++
Shame that it's a one-off though, because I can't help wondering what *actually* happened next! I'm a hopeless dreamer, so I'm betting that Snape received redemption by others, not just by himself!! Hugz
Author's Response: LOL! I actually wrote an expanded ending for this and posted it on my LJ; however, I did it for a fellow Hermione/Severus shipper, so some might find that pretty scary in and of itself! :-D Thank you for the generous review!
Merde squared! The idea of Harry being a Horcrux is of course not a new one, but to have Voldemort actually connect with the piece of his soul that's inside of Harry ... yep, you guessed it,goosebumps
Author's Response: Thanks.
Oh lordy.... that was well done! I loved the Muggles ... nothing more than cannon-fodder for Voldemort!
Author's Response: Thanks.
Y'know, I read this chapter before but didn't leave a review *bad me*. This was a very disturbing chapter to read, but then again, it's Voldemort! Interesting that he used Snape's Sectumsempra spell to slash Draco (poor child), and I thought it particularly calculating and cold hearted that he sat comfortably to watch Draco's hours of agony. *shivers*. Very well written !
Author's Response: Thanks. I did think the pain was a bit shaky, but you\'re right, it was a necessary character development.
MAJOR frickin' goosebumps through that entire soul-splitting scene! I had dabbled with a fic from Voldemort's POV the night he killed the Potters, but never thought to go this far back. Brilliant! I'm off to read chap 2 !
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I hope you like the rest of it.
more goosebumps, although I do have to agree with another review that would have liked a little more insight into Tom's thoughts during his meeting! Still lovin' it
I'm intrigued! Deeply deeply intrigued!
Awaiting Chapter 2
Author's Response: Thanks :) Chapters 2 - 5 Have been written and are currently being looked over by my brilliant Beta, so expect them soon :)
Even though I generally have my mind set AGAINST Draco and Hermoine as a couple, I like your style! Keep 'em coming.!
My take on how events may pan out in book seven. Spoilers from all previous HP books.
The events of the previous year have brought home to Harry the realization of what has to be done, and the knowledge that it must be done alone. Now as he sets off on his final quest, making new acquaintances along the way, he must bring all his knowledge and skill to bear in his effort to destroy Lord Voldemort. But will it be enough, or is there something that he has missed which might prove to be his undoing?
First of all, nice chapter there, Steve! Was thrilled to see my fellow Trini, Dwight Yorke get a mention there ;o)
Very smart boy, our Harry Potter, camping out at the Grangers. Wonder what Ron will have to say about it all. Hope you update soon!
Author's Response: What Ron doesn\'t know won\'t hurt him. Thank you for the review. I think there were some formatting issues in the chapter, but I\'ve fixed them so hope it reads ok now.
I shall update soon and hope to keep hearing from you about how I\'m doing.
*sigh* once again I've found a wonderful story that's only at the very BEGINNING!!! Argh!
I love it Steve, very well written, and I shall watch this space with eager anticipation of Chapters 3 and beyond!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, HogwartsHoney, I'm glad you liked it. Chapter 3 is in queue and should be up soon. Hope you enjoy it and do let me know how I'm doing.
