Beneath The Shell by Sly Severus
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Andromeda takes a young Tonks to the beach. She quickly finds herself exhausted and falls asleep. Tonks decides to explore on her own. She meets someone her mother never expected her to meet.
Date: 06/23/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Again, a beautiful story. And I, again agree with you. I think that Bellatrix was malicious, but you see people like Draco, who are the nastiest, until they know something is wrong. Well, Bellatrix can't have no heart at all. It's impossible. It's just two sizes too small.
Author's Response: Hehe! You\'re great! This is my third review from you. :) I\'m glad you like my work, it means a lot.
Unknown by RedheadedWeasley
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This a poem I wrote in payment for a banner. It was suppose to describe the grounds of Hogwarts, but it does so much more than that.
Date: 06/24/06 Title: Chapter 1: Unknown
Ahhhh.... It's like hot chocolate after sledding. That was amazing. I couldn't write free-verse to save my life, and whoever made you the banner definitely got the better end of the deal ;) Just kidding, I have no idea what the banner looked like. But it must have been really good, if you trade this for it! It's like... Abstract Mona Lisa!
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! I\'m blushing. \"Abstract Mona Lisa\" is quite the compliment thank you! I\'m very happy that you liked this! I take it that you write poetry as well. I can\'t write a rhyme scheme to save my life. I used to try but they came out horrible, so I stick to free verse now. Here\'s a hint on free verse, just type. That\'s what I do. Again, thank you so much for your wonderful compliments!
Return to Me by h3art0f1nk
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: This is Ginny's poem of when Harry left her after Dumbledore's funeral.
Date: 07/12/06 Title: Chapter 1: Return to Me
That was...simply beautiful. Gorgeous! Magnifico! I can't find anything to nitpick about, except for the first verse/stanza/thing. 'Can't take your hand' does sound better but it's not complete. However, I like it better your way. Please keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Thank you for the awesome review. I thought about the whole incomplete thing while I was writing it, but I just couldn\'t think of anything else. But, thanks again for reading and reviewing!
Date: 08/09/07 Title: Chapter 1: Return to Me
I really really liked that one. It kind of had that air of loneliness in it, and I liked the short lines. It sounded more like a story than a poem to me, but that isn't always bad- it can be a distinct style!
All in all, I'd probably give it a seven out of ten. Harry calling Ginny 'Gin' really irked me, for some odd, canon reason. xD But I luff you anyhoo.
Author's Response: LOL. Thanks!
My Love for You by h3art0f1nk
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Hermione watches Ron as he slowly dies in the Last Battle. This is her poem about it. . . .
Date: 07/11/06 Title: Chapter 1: My Love for You
-sobs- So sad! You made me cry... -blows nose noisily- Well, then. Now that my sinuses are cleared up, I'd like to congratulate you. I have a poem in the queue about Hermione after Ron has died. I'm glad to find that someone else has the same idea, and they pulled it off so wonderfully.
I loved For it's so strong,
It cannot die,
Though you just did.
Now it's good-bye.
That was definitely my favorite part. You've got talent.
Author's Response: *In a squeaky, high voice* Thank you! I have to say that this is an extremely touching review. I\'m so glad that you liked it. And in case you haven\'t posted any poems yet, they go through the queue really quickly. And if you have posted poems already, call me an idiot. *Goes to check out your profile*
P.S. I will definitely read your poem!
Author's Response: *Comes back from checking profile* I guess that makes me an idiot.
Once by AstroFire
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: "Because once you were mine, I cannot forget your touch"
A little, spontaneous poem Harry made for Ginny after their separation.
Date: 07/18/06 Title: Chapter 1: Once
This was a cute piece of poetry. I liked it a lot. The meter was a little bit off in some places, but it was a freeverse, and so it doesn't draw so much away from the real meaning of the poem. I agree with you, the whole feeling is very peaceful. This is a more...floaty kind of poetry than I have usually read. I like it quite a lot. Great job!
Stella
Author's Response: Hi Stella! Aw, thank you very much :) It\'s good to know that you liked. And yes, some persons have told me that the meter is a bit off, but I hope it didn\'t distract you so much :) I like to do poetry, and it\'s good to know that it is appreciated :D Thanks for reviewing!
Perfection by fairies_r_real
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: What is the meaning of love? What is meant by real beauty is within?
A love poem . . . with a unusual twist.
Read, review and enjoy!!!
x x x long live the fairies x x x
Date: 07/11/06 Title: Chapter 1: Perfection - a love poem
Ohhh, so cute! A Snape fan! You wouldn't, by any chance, happen to be a Ravenclaw? I really liked the poem. I do have a question, though. Who is the character that likes him? Is there a background for her?
Author's Response: That characters me!!! \"blushing\" I take it you love Snape too. He\'s great. Thanks for your review!!!

Black Bloods by Sly Severus
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Sirius has left his family, and now he's staying with James for the summer. He should be having the time of his life, but he's not. He's worrying about his brother, and reconsidering his choice to leave. A chance encounter with someone he hasn't seen in years helps him make up his mind, once and for all.
Date: 07/11/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
That was very sweet. I liked that Sirius wasn't portrayed the typical way, just a serious flirt with an attitude problem. I have one question that was just me. Sirius's nicknamed for Regulus? Is it pronounced 'Reg' or 'Rej'?
Did Andromeda have blonde hair? I don't recall it saying that in the books, but I don't recall them saying that she had dark hair either. Why was she at the cabin?
And one last thing. Do you really think that Sirius would call Bellatrix and Narcissa Cissy and Bella? I just thought that it was kind of borderline for him.
Overall, however, it was a good story. I had to reread it to make the review constructive. :P
~Stella
Author's Response: Thank you for the review. I\'m glad you liked the way I wrote Sirius. He can\'t be a flirt all the time!
And now for your questions. Let\'s see. The nickname is pronounced \'Reg\'.
Andromeda\'s hair. I\'m pretty sure that the books do not tell us what color her hair is. I just always thought of her as having blonde hair like Narcissa. No good reason why, except that I feel if any of the sisters was going to have a different appearance it would be Bella. There\'s nothing to back it up, just my preference.
I didn\'t explain why she was in the cabin, as the story was told through Sirius\' POV, and I thought people would assume she was there because she was thinking about her family and feeling nostalgic, which was why she was there. Maybe I should have stated that somewhere. Hmmm...
As for Bella and Cissy. Well, to me, I would think most people would call Bellatrix Bella. Her name is too long, and people have a tendency to shorten longer names. But in this case I used Bella and Cissy because I believe there was a time when Sirius was likely to have called them that. They were cousin and probably spent time together growing up. I can\'t imagine a very young child mastering the names Bellatrix and Narcissa. I assume in their youth he would have used the shorter versions, and while having a rather emotional conversation with his cousin those names slipped out again. I also think there may have been a time in his youth that Sirius was close to all of his cousins, although there is certainly no canon to support that claim.
There. I think that should answer everything. I really appreciate the review. And I liked that you asked questions; it made me give some additional thought to how I wrote this. Thank you so much!
Draco's Destiny by Sly Severus
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Lucius and Narcissa discuss Draco's future as a Death Eater.
Date: 07/14/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I absolutely loved that story. At first I wondered, Isn't Lucius in Azkaban right now? But the way you wrote the whole thing kind of smoothed that over.
I was under the impression from the books that Voldemort started considering Draco as a punishment for Lucius getting landed in Azkaban, though.
I really liked it, good job.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I\'m glad you enjoyed!
I\'ve been getting a lot of comments about the timeline for this story. At one point I wasn\'t even going to mention the DOM, and just explain the timeline in an author\'s note. I\'m glad I didn\'t!
And yes, the books do lead us to believe that Voldie choose to make Draco a Death Eater to punish Lucius. Which may, or may not end up being true. Old Volide can be a tricky one. I believe it probably is true, though. Anyway, I still think the story makes sense because it was pretty much inevitable that Draco would eventually become a Death Eater. Just because Voldie had started to consider it doesn\'t mean he planned to do it so quickly. He may have accelerated the process when he became angered with Lucius. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, thank you again for the review. They are always greatly appreciated.
She Walked by StellaSirius
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: After the war, a warrior feels completely alone. Everyone is gone. Even the one whom she thought would never die.
Date: 07/12/06 Title: Chapter 1: She Walked: A Poem
Oh, and just so everyone knows, yes, I just realized the keyboard malfunction (:D) in the seventeenth line. :P Whoops.
Author's Response: Yeah.
Sisters by Sly Severus
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Bellatrix comes home for the summer, after her first year at Hogwarts. Her sisters are excited to see her, but they have some difficult questions for their big sister. She does her best to guide them, and discovers just how big a role she plays in their lives.
Date: 08/02/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
That was very depressing. The story itself wasn't, but when you think of what they all became... It puts a frown on my face. :( But I really liked the story, especially the name 'doopsy.' -giggles-
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I\'m glad you enjoyed my story.
I find that a lot of stories from this time are depressing because we know what is going to become of the characters and they don\'t. Stories about any of the Blacks or the Maurauders just have that feel about them. It makes you think, sure everything is okay now, but we know what your future holds.
Doopsy\'s name was actually a last minute thing. I was writting away and I got to the part where she came in and I realized that I hadn\'t thought of a name for her. For some reason Doopsy was the first thing I thought of.
Thanks again for the review!
The Cruciatus Curse by h3art0f1nk
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: What do you imagine the Cruciatus Curse feels like? Is it unexplainable? The darkest words can’t describe this incredible, unbearable pain, but I have done my best to put it in words.
Date: 07/17/07 Title: Chapter 1: The Cruciatus Curse
Oooo. Yumminess. :) That was really good. Almost exactly how I feel about this right-hand curse to the Big Avada. Very well done.
Author's Response: Why, thank you!
Of Coloured Pencils and Plastic Bags by Sirenny
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: So many children had passed through her class in the small Primary School of Little Whinging, and Miss. Morrison liked to think she remembered them all. The shy ones, who hid behind their mothers legs or curled up in their fathers protective arms; the boisterous ones, who ran in small, never ending circles with boundless energy. The smart ones and the ones who struggled, sometimes bravely and sometimes with tears and tantrums. The short ones and the tall ones, the sweet and the mischievous; they were all special to her, in their own way, and they all earned themselves a special place in her memories. All of them, that is, except for one.
Date: 07/15/07 Title: Chapter 1: Of Coloured Pencils and Plastic Bags
Ooh! I like this very much. Good job- it makes sense that not all of the muggles hated Harry. And for a schoolteacher to be one of the most caring- yeah, I like this one a lot.
Rose Without Petals by Sarakime
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: What's it like to watch the one you love marry another? Wrong. Heartbreaking. Alone. And so much more.
Date: 08/06/07 Title: Chapter 1: The Rose
Oh... that was sad. And so... ah, I dunno. Maybe seemed a little ooc to me, but I'm not a big Dramione fan. But beautifully written! Only thing I can really say is that the large spaces were kind of distracting. Well done- you rock!
Author's Response: Thank you!! :]
"Oh Harry, why not me?" by SevenAndMoreToGo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Parvati, Cho and Ginny - the three prettiest girls of Hogwarts, demand Harry why he didn't simply stick around with one of them. And he answers each of the ladies in limerick-like stanzas, giving his own "verdict" in the end.
Warning: Slightly idiotic
Date: 06/03/08 Title: Chapter 1: "Oh Harry, why not me?"
xDDD you know what? The first person I thought of was Draco. x] But it's Luna, right? Nice. The meter's a little off, but it was fun to read.
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes by Prongs92
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A poem I wrote about the famous joke shop founded by Fred and George Weasley. Like every author says, please read and review!
Date: 08/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes
Hehe. I liked this one a lot. It was fun to read. Thanks for reviewing my poem, otherwise I wouldn't have found yours! :) By the way, reading your profile, I didn't use to like Tonks/Remus either. But now I do! Omg. xD But anyhoo, great poem. Keep at it!
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m really glad you liked it! You write amazing poems by the way!
My One Regret by slytherins_queen2
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: There's only one thing Lily ever regretted...
No DH Spoilers!
Date: 08/09/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
:) That was really sweet. Except for my morbid personality goes, 'until we're reunited? scary omg kill for loveeeeee....' Yeah. xD But I really really liked it, especially because my morbidness really knows what you were going for.
Sometimes the rhythm was a little bit off, but not by a whole bunch, and it wasn't distractingly wrong. Overall, good job! I'd give it an eight out of ten. :)
Author's Response: Hahaha xPP. Thank you so much for the review it means alot. The rhyming was indeed a bit off, but I\'ll try harder next time. I\'m glad you \'really really\' liked it. :)
The Ballad of Odo by InkandPaper
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: And Odo the hero, they bore him back home... The full story of how Odo came to meet his untimely death.
Date: 10/26/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Ah! I love it. x] I especially liked the whole chimaera bit- you do excellent ballads! Legendary heroes... swash swash! Buckle buckle! 'Twas brilliant.
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks StellaSirius! Your review made me giggle!
Moon and Sun and Stars by tickled_pink
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Names became places and places became fallen.
Once we were brave ...
A short poem about Voldemort's victory and reflections from the last survivors. My apologies, it is a little depressing, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!
Date: 12/15/07 Title: Chapter 1: Moon and Sun and Stars
That was quite beautiful. I think I like the other line 'for if love and way of life...' better than the one you have in the poem. But overall, very very nice. Well, maybe nice isn't the best word.
Are you familiar with the musical Sweeney Todd? This poem rather reminded me of the song 'Epiphany'. That's good. :)
Author's Response: Thank you! No, I\'ve never seen it, but I went and looked up the lyrics - it\'s really morbid, but cool! I may have to go see it now ... and thanks again! :D Tickled Pink
