A Conversation with Mrs. Dursley by Examun
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Just after a move onto Privet Drive, have a cup of tea and enjoy a short conversation with Mrs. Dursley. (Based several years after the books.)
Date: 02/15/06 Title: Chapter 1: Over a cup of tea.
That was very different! I suspect Joanne is magical.. is she? Please tell me if that's right.. xD. I liked this quote: "No, I don’t have any siblings myself. Why do you ask? Oh, of course. Just making friendly conversation. I didn’t mean to snap, sorry. I guess I do miss my husband Vernon, makes me quite emotional sometimes, sorry." That's quite characteristic of Petunia. Good job
Of Friendship and Dragons by Cyndi Black
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Everyone thinks Charlie has always had a fascination with dragons. That's not completely true. Hear the story of how his passion began, in his own words. A challenge fic, courtesy of the lovely Seren.
Date: 02/21/06 Title: Chapter 1: Of Friendship and Dragons
That was lovely. We all love stories like that - of how some things came to be - in this case, Charlie's fascination. Good job!
Warrior by GwendolynJames
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: I knew that this was the beginning of her life – the birth of a warrior queen.
Date: 02/20/06 Title: Chapter 1: Warrior
That was wonderful. I think it was very well written, very emotional. Aside from the few points Masked One pointed out, it's excellent. Ginny's evolution to the strong character she is now was very well portrayed. Great job!
such family as this by istarwyn
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A teenaged Nymphadora Tonks shopping for school supplies runs into a young cousin she didn't know she had...
Date: 02/15/06 Title: Chapter 1: -the story-
Great story! I really love it! It's a reallydifferent scene. I think you've got them all in character.. especially Narcissa. I adored this quote:"We were always the daughters of Black. You forgot that. I didn’t.” That is SO like her.. Adding this to my favourites.. But isn't ZOnko's a joke shop? Why's it a sweet shop in this fic?
Chasing A Dream by Noldo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: They looked back and had no regrets, because it was for Remus. A vignette.
Date: 03/16/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chasing A Dream
Awesome, awesome. I really really like it. I am at a loss to see how you can make such simple feelings, thoughts and actions into masterpieces. That was very short, but that's what made it such a good read. Lovely job. D'you write original fiction?
Waiting by Loki MM
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: In Azkaban, Sirius Black was waiting for something to come -- something to tell him why he was still alive. He's about to find it.
Date: 02/15/06 Title: Chapter 1: Waiting
Your portrayal of Sirius is perfect. I love the mood created in the story. Excellent work. **10/10**
Luna's Christmas by michelle_31a
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: While spending the holidays at the Burrow, Hermione gets an unexpected insight into the spirit of Christmas from none other than Luna Lovegood...
Date: 02/17/06 Title: Chapter 1: Luna's Christmas
That was really good.. I love it. *sigh* perfect characterization of Hermione and Luna.. great job!
Unhonoured and Unsung by wendelin_the_weird
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Days before the end of the Triwizard Tournament, a prophecy is made about the boy who will pay for his victory with his life.
Now, a bereaved Amos Diggory must battle monsters, men and fate, and in the end, make the most difficult decision of all: should he find out what was in that prophecy? Can he bear to know whether his son might have lived?
Date: 04/23/06 Title: Chapter 1: (This is a one-shot)
This is the first mystery fanfic I read, and I immensely enjoyed it. The prologue was fantastic! It drew me in to read further. I adored your portrayal of Amos. Like Dory said, the Obliviate bit was a bit confusing, but it left us to guess what had happened, and I liked that. My guess: Macnair casted it on Amos, and that's why he forgot what had happened to the letter. Right?! Anyhow, I have to say that I'm adding it to my favourites. 10/10!! - bL
Maeve's Birthday. by Magical Maeve
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A companion piece to Snape's Birthday and a little off-shoot of Harry Potter and the Daughter of Light. It helps if you have read Daughter of Light but it's also a stand alone piece if you fancy a bit of spring magic.
Date: 03/18/06 Title: Chapter 1: Maeve's Birthday
That was very beautiful. I really liked it. The descriptions of spring sounded really,really good. I particularly liked Severus's proposal. I thought that was unique and very different. Great job.
The Gift of the Magical Magi by pelirroja
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: What do you get your favorite teacher who has nothing and needs everything without embarrassing him?
Date: 02/19/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Gift of the Magical Magi
That was wonderful.. I've read 'The Gift of the Magi' by O.Henry, and yes, that was awesome. This story was equally powerful.. I think Lupin deserves something like that, and what each one of them wrote was true word for word. Great job, this fic definitely deserves 10/10.
The Return of the Prodigal Son by Sigune
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A very young Dark wizard returns to his old school with high hopes of obtaining the Defence Against the Dark Arts position. But showing an ugly mark on his arm and explaining how it got there might considerably reduce his chances… A different take on how and why Severus Snape became a spy for Albus Dumbledore, a glimpse into his mind, and a peek at an alternative family history.
Date: 02/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Return of the Prodigal Son
That was good! It makes sense that Snape was so fascinated by knowledge.. he speaks about the Dark arts exactly as he does in JKR's books.. but different. I think you've done a great job. 10/10.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you :-)... That one was my very first fanfic; I'm glad it still works, even if in some details HBP has quite overtaken it. -S

Its really really good!! Please update soon!
Mid-dinnertime Disaster by the nutty imp
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A Shakespearean Parody featuring the Marauders.
Author applies Shakespeare's style of play writing and massacred some of the great play-wright's famous soliloquys too.
Date: 05/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: Act One Scene One
*gasp* *falls off chair laughing*
Good gracious, this is beyond words!
*massages sides*
Update, please!
Author's Response: As soon as I find the right soliloquy to utterly destroy *lol*
Of the Sorrows by Lacerated
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Struggling to find out what he really believes, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts for his seventh year with a head full of many new ideas. His father however, doesn't seem too keen to let Draco think for himself. To make matters worse, Home-schooled beautyqueen freak Deirdre shows up, and seems to have an agenda of her own. Could something more be going on behind closed doors?
What was this so-called ‘love’ anyway? Did it look like anything? How could you tell? Was there a moment when everything burst into a brilliant flame about you - or did it happen gradually and slowly? What was it like?
He wondered, for he had never known.
Date: 03/18/06 Title: Chapter 5: Silver and Cold
Oh.. I really loved this. It's not your usual Draco/OC. I loved the fact that Draco was perfectly in character. His thoughts are extremely well-written and the few lines he speaks are very like him..the way he demands the necklace from Deirdre, for example, and the way she snubbed him. I loved those bits a lot. Great job!
Author's Response: Well thank you!! =) Glad you liked it, if only I could get over my block...haha.
He Who Laughed Last by Noldo
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Regulus Black, on Voldemort, life, death, and his beloved, insufferable, arrogant brother. One-shot, mild HBP spoilers.
Date: 05/17/06 Title: Chapter 1: He Who Laughed Last
I'd always doubted Regulus's being RAB, you know, but you seem to convince me here. I can't get over his characterization. Simply amazing. There are absolutely no words to describe this. I love the way you portray Regulus, and it would be a crime to characterize him in any other way. I adore every single line. 10/10!
Which Flavor Do You Prefer? by genuinescence
Rated: •Summary: When a hopeless James goes to his marauder friends for advice on how to get Lily to go out with him, Sirius tells James a story. Would Sirius' story help James make a wise decision, or not? Lots of marauder humor. One-shot, MWPP L/J, plz R&R
Date: 02/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: Which Flavor Do You Prefer?
Go kiki!! Great story.. lol! I know I've already reviewed this on BTV.. but so what? It deserves another. Way to go!!! Write more!
Date: 02/20/06 Title: None
That was great! Very different.. I love your characterization of Lorraine; it seems natural a character like that is so jealous of Lily.. it's all because she's hankering after James, isn't it? Um, I do have a suggestion though.. I think you should spell-check your document, because there were many errors in the second part. The first part was fine. Hope you don't mind, I just thought I'd point that out. A lovely job on the whole. I'm adding it to my favourites.. Is it going to be a very long one?
Dream Walking by Roxy Black
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Harry has been waiting for over a week to leave the world of the muggles once more. Dumbledore is about to arrive and new adventures are bound to begin. This story runs directly aside HBP, think of it as missing scenes. What mysteries are held within the moments JK missed? How about these...
Date: 05/31/06 Title: Chapter 1: I can trust these two with anything...
This is an excellent missing moment - well-woven in between the two canon scenes. I liked it a lot. :) It makes sense that Harry would not be too ready and willing to let Ron and Hermione into the story, especially considering what he 'did to Ginny' in the end of HBP...
It was clever the way you had specific people help Harry figure his dilemma out - as Cheshlin pointed out. I particularly love that part! The dream was interesting - the way we all dream a confusing mixture of things that happened to us that day. I adore the way you made his subconscious think of dancing with Ginny. (Big H/G shipper! :D).
On the whole, this was a very refreshing one-shot because it wasn't too angsty and wasn't too fluffy. I enjoyed reading the beginning, particularly. Good job, Roxy!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I\'m glad you thought there was a good balance with not too much angst or fluff. I\'m a huge H/G shipper too (obviously :D). I\'m a firm believer in making the audience relate to what you write and dream sequences are obvious ways of doing this as everyone dreams whether they know it or not and in dreams you can do things that you wouldn\'t do in real life. I\'m sure everyone has dreamed about dancing with someone they really like at least once in their life.
I\'m glad you liked my story, thanks for the review.

Monkey Business by Sigune
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Some animals are just not meant to be pets. A tale of friendship, choices and many, many familiars.
Date: 02/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: -
Wow, that was really, really good. It's very creative. You have such an easy writing style. I can see how Snape's personality reflects a monkey's. You're such a great writer, I'll check out your other stories when I have more time.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I didn't want a cat or a raven, for once :D. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! -S
A Seed From The Ground by Seren
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Auror-in-training Kingsley Shacklebolt is learning to blend in with the crowd in downtown London. There, he meets a small, lost girl, and learns how much impact a simple act of kindness can really have.
Date: 03/05/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Seed From the Ground
Oh wow, that was very good, very different. I liked it a lot. The flow of words was very good, and I thought the message was wonderful.
