Hmm. Time to rant.
Half-Blood Prince. This book frustrates me to the hair-ripping point because:
1. LENGTH. Jo- we LIKE to read what you write! It was too rushed!
2. HARRY AND HERMIONE. Yes, I'm a shipper, but she just blatantly seemed to rip them apart- I think she got tired of people guessing "Harry or Ron" and just comepletely destroyed their relationship. I don't know about everyone else, but the eye-rolling-scathing-Lavander-gut-hating-typical-horrible-NOT Hermione was not present in the first five books.
3. KING'S CROSS. It's a little thing, but it bugged me that she just cut it off at Dumbledore's funeral.
4. HARRY. Does anyone know what he was thinking? Besides having totally-random-out-of-no-where-I-love-her Ginny daydreams? Can we say, "huh?"
more later.

I've read Avenged Sevenfold- it's under my favorites, by the way- so I read this story, too. And it's great- if you ever get the time to work on it, change it, continue in a different path than you had imagined, I would love to see what you had in mind... Jesus, you can write...
Just Like Him by SecretKeeper
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: ONE-SHOT. Minor fluff warning. There was just no way around it. Whether it was necessary or not, heroic or not, there was simply no escaping the fact of his actions. He had killed. And he made me just like him… Harry thought miserably.

OH. MY. GOOD. LORD. GOD. This... this is brilliance. True brilliance. Wow. I have read and re-read this about 100 times, and it still touches me. I cried. It's Amazing (note the "A") how you can capture that- and what Hermione did- brilliant. Total shock. Beautiful.

Harry Potter and the Snares of Fate by Herminia
Rated: •Summary: In the wake of Harry's sixth year, the Wizarding World is in upheaval. Legions of Death Eaters, under the command of Lord Voldemort, are gaining foothold in across the country and wreaking havoc with every move they make. The fate of the entire Wizarding World rests on the shoulders of six imperfect individuals – Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy, Remus Lupin, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter, “The Chosen One.” In the course of ten turbulent months, secrets will be uncovered; missions will be thwarted; alliances will be tested; and matters of the heart will be rethought. Are you ready to embark on voyage you won’t soon forget? Combines romance, tragedy, adventure, canon-based Year Seven with sparks of comedy.

Avenged Sevenfold by SecretKeeper
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
UPDATE: Guys, I'm back!
The innocence I’ve lost
The blood it's cost
Leaves unhealed scars within.
But I will not abate,
I will employ the hate
That has been planted deep inside.
I will not falter
Valor will not tire,
And I will survive
This trial by fire.
Many things are different now. Potions class is the least of the trio's worries. Battling dragons would be a welcome alternative to what it is they're attempting to battle now. The Order of the Phoenix is hallow without its leading member. And when someone close to Harry is stolen, Dumbledore's rhetoric of love, hope, and faith is challenged. Harry's strength and resolve are pushed to their limits. Loyalties are tested and new leaders emerge while Harry and Hermione struggle to balance new emotions and uncharted territory. Yet while this time after sixth year proves to be drastically unlike anything Harry's ever experienced, some truths remain, and some affections stand solid.
A novel-type story that explores the engimas of Snape, Horcruxes, war, and above all, the puzzle of love. HBP compliant. HHr.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you get the point, right?) I squeak-squeal-screamed all through reading your review. And really. Quit being kind. Except to Harry and Hermione. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking time to review my little story... when you SHOULD be working on the next chapter! Don't make me (and hundreds of other faithful readers) wait a second longer than we have to! Because that's just taking my 'quit being kind' comment a bit too far.
much love,

*blushes* Erm… oopsie? It seems that, in an attempt to emphasize a few choice words in my last review, I’ve… um… boldened *has discovered ability to invent words* the rest of the page…
… OH WELL!
AHH!!!!! *feels honored* YAY! You responded! I was hoping you would! But don’t feel obligated to write back to this one, you just KEEP ON WORKING ON THAT NEXT, UNDOUBTABLY BRILLIANT CHAPPIE!!!!!!
Oh, and I do believe it’s my civil duty to boost the morale of my favorite author at every given opportunity, Missus SecretKeeper, ma’am. *draws gun from holster* And I dew b’leive it’s YER civil duty ta keep a-crankin’ out them thurr stories, ya hear?
*ditches Western accent* ANYWAY… ooh! You even put suspense in your responses! *… and Malfoy, who’s looking for-- (I can just picture you catching yourself here) someone else…* Now THAT is the evil genius that makes you the superb, cliffy-creating, so-good-you-want-to-hate-them-but-can’t-because-they’re-just-too-freaking-good author that you are.
HALFWAY?!?!?!? Ah, well it's definately a glass-half-full halfway instead of glass-half-empty halfway. Is the word "halfway" starting to sound really weird to you, too, or is it just me?
Oh, and I hope to brighten up your day with another review for your next chapter soon… *nudgenudgewinkwink*

i came back and reread it (because it's so freakin' awesome) and i have to say, you do J.K. better than J.K. herself. REALLY YOU DO. you should write a book... you should write book 7. redeem the harry potter name after HBP... *shudders* EXCELLENT. BRILLIANT. LOSS OF WORDS. UPDATE SOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! *curses summer vacation into oblivion* I would trade two weeks of vacation for a single PARAGRAPH of this ANY day!!!!!!!! AGGGGHHHH! *continues primal screaming to get frustration out of system*
*deep breath* Oh dear. Me? *blushes* Oh my... you’ve given me THIS chapter? THE BEST YET? With the... and the... and then... *tears of honor fill eyes* THANK YOOOOOOOUUUUUU! *crushes your lungs in hug*
That. Was. ____________ (insert synonym for brilliant, amazing, etc. here). How do you do it? It flows from start to finish, from the conversation with Lupin (why IS it important what the chains looked like? Hmmm...), and I think you’ve realized Voldemort's weakness better than JK herself ever could’ve hoped to. From that to realizing where another Horcrux was, to the promise and then to what we’ve all been waiting for... *has shipper-based spaz-attack* EEP! *squeals for oh... five minutes* FINALLY! But I don’t think I would’ve had *THE KISS* come a second sooner. Well, okay, maybe I would’ve, but it wouldn’t be half as good as it was when you did it. *goes off to bury thesaurus* Honestly, I think it’s served it’s purpose enough, after reading this chapter.
Oh! And one thing I’ll ask you to do... just one little thing! *cowers in mightiness of Sadie’s might...i...ness* Listen to/ Read the lyrics to “Security” by Joss Stone. I heard it on the radio one day and thought of Harry and Hermione instantly. But! I’m warning you! DO NOT use it as lyrics for one of the chapters. Because it would ruin the whole “Avenged Sevenfold” thing (love them, by the way). Just saying. That thought probably didn’t even cross your mind, did it? Hm. I dunno. Just being careful, in case my mind works in weird ways. Not... that... um... anyone would... ever... you know... assume that... about me... UM... I’d better go now.
KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON. HOWEVER YOU DO THAT. UPDATE SOOOOOOOOOON!
Much love,
LBD
