I really like this story. The characters are very 'in character' yet seen from a different perspective, and the descriptions are very creative and clever. There is some excellent imagery in here.
Rowling & Seuss: Together at Last by Cassiel Oliviari
Rated: •Summary: Here's the plot, its Hogwarts rhymes. I'm sure you've heard it many times. But this has story, romance too. You have to check if it's for you!

LOL!!! Oh how funny, and making mention of "The Unseemly Proposal", how hilarious is that?!
Date: 09/09/06 Title: Chapter 3: Part 3
I love it! Wish there was more to read, but a wonderfully hilarious story non-the-less.
The Unseemly Proposal by sparx
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: The reign of Voldermort comes to an end, and with it ends the prestige and power Lucius Malfoy once had in the Wizarding World. In order to regain the respect of his fellow wizards and to make them believe that he has turned over a new leaf (which he actually hasn't) and has graciously accepted muggles and Mudbloods, Lucius asks Hermione, a Mudblood, to marry his son, Draco, a pure-blood. Obviously, they both refuse, but Lucius isn't going to give up easily. After all, he wants his status back. He still has a few tricks up his sleeve and is determined to play match-maker. What happens next is a series of events that serve only to bring Hermione and Draco closer, both literally and figuratively speaking. Read to find out how this one unseemly proposal causes absolute chaos in their lives! THIS STORY IS NOT HBP and DH COMPATIBLE! Hey all! Check out my personal info for the expected date of the next update. =)
Date: 06/09/06 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3- Sharing A Dorm
Having read through the first three chapters, I must say that I really do enjoy this story. I had my doubts about it, but it seems to be a wonderful set up so far. Plus, I just had to say that I'm still laughing over Draco bursting into Hermione's room 'just making sure that your room was not bigger than mine.' That is hilarious! That whole scene, with the nightgown and all, was excellent! Good job!
The Upside of Being Down by Kimberley
Rated: Professors •Summary: *COMPLETED!*What happens when you put a hopelessly "romantic" man-hussy and a girl with a soft spot for bedtime activities (not THOSE activities, silly!) together in a dark bedroom? Well, I don't happen to know either, so I suppose we'll find out together, won't we? Come with me, Tia C. Spencer, on a lovely ride through the countryside... er, lakeside... okay, so we won't actually be riding NEXT to anything, but it will be lovely, I promise you that. How can it not be, with me as your illustrious (and quite possibly mad) companion?
And no, contrary to beliefs very likely impressed upon you by this summary, I'm not a gormless prat.
Well... not entirely.
Date: 10/09/06 Title: Chapter 6: The Happy Fairy
Another brilliant chapter. I'm gettin repititious, I know, but it's true! What a fascinating plot twist, making Tia have to tutor Lily and vice-versa.
Your situations are totally belivable and your characterization is fascinating. You imagery and dialogue are....hmm, what other adjectives can I use? I must go look up some new ones so that I can use them to gush over the next chapter, which, I'm sure, will be equally spectacular.
Date: 10/09/06 Title: Chapter 7: A Pile of Outraged Marauders
I love it! The boys protecting Tia's honour. What girl doesn't love that thought?
Again, nothing to complain about and everything to gush about. I love how the romance between Sirius and Tia is developing achingly slowly. I'm half-dying over here, begging them to get together already! You've done a great job of creating the tension for the reader.
I think this has to be my favourite story that I've read yet on this site, and I'm hard pressed to imagine a story that could top it.

Date: 10/08/06 Title: Chapter 4: The Noble (mmphmhahaha!) and Most Ancient House of Black
I really do enjoy reading this story, although, this chapter wasn't formatted properly, I think, and therefore it is one long paragraph. I still enjoyed it, however. I like how the relationship between Tia and Sirius is very slow to evolve. It's very realistic.
Date: 10/09/06 Title: Chapter 8: This is Me Sighing
The note banter was great, as per usual. I really don't know how much more I can gush over this story. I'm sure it must be getting old by now.
No complaints, loved it all. How true is it that a woman is sometimes so agitated, yet can't quite pinpoint why? I don't know about the rest of the women in the world, but I do it! I love that Tia gets that problem too.
Date: 09/28/06 Title: Chapter 1: Allergic to Idiots
Pointless fluff?! (referring to your A/N) How could you call this pointless fluff? This was brilliant. Not only is it funny, but the writing is excellent, the characterization is excellent, and so is the imagery. I really enjoyed reading this. My favorite line has to be: “Don’t be silly. It was going spiffingly–up ‘til the point Prongs hit puberty.”
I had to lay my head on my desk and laugh after reading that!
Can't wait to read more and it's only the first chapter. I'm hooked!
Date: 10/09/06 Title: Chapter 5: I'd Go Out With Her in a Heartbeat
Again, another excellent chapter. I think the last line has got to be my favorite. It was clear I needed a new death glare–this one was losing its potency.
There are so many lines and words in here that I find so highly amusing that I want to add them to my own daily usage. You have done a spectacularly sarcastic job with this story. I love it.
In all of this wonderful writing, I think this may be one of the very few mistakes that I found: And of course there were the other array of faint scars he sported all over his body in various places that I’d had glimpses of over the years
Taboo by MorganRay
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: At Slughorn's Christmas party, Blaise Zabini's mind dwells on the cobwebs of his past.

Silly55Lady: A Proud Hufflepuff

I have not had a chance to finish your story, but I have enjoyed it already. Very fascinating characterization. I also really like your descriptions and the way you bring Blaise to life. Very, very fascinating tale. I can't wait to finish your one-shot .
Author's Response: Thanks!
Ginny's Midnight Drama by Mind_Over_Matter
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary:
Oh no! Ginny has found her in an emergency situation of dire need. Harry lies before her and Ron and Hermione are long gone. Whatever shall she do? Well, it looks like Ginny is feeling a bit Dramatic.
Date: 11/22/06 Title: Chapter 1: Wake Up, Harry!
Okay, let me stop laughing first!
You are so funny!! I loved this. Everyone giving Ginny tea! I fully expected her to say something about having to pee at some point. I love the part abour her having to check the rating before what she said, and Draco being evil-in-training!
The whole thing was brilliant, I shouldn't list the parts I liked best because I'd just end up re-writing the whole story, and, well, you already know it!!
Great job!! (As per usual!)
Author's Response:
=) Yay! Thanking ye kindly. Your reviews always make me happy.
Date: 10/14/06 Title: None
I really enjoyed this story. The part with Ron being a complete idiot while drunk was too funny. It probably would be pretty accurate, too, I bet.
I would have liked to have read the next morning scene where Ron and Harry wake up next to each other. There would have been a lot of funny potential in that scene!
Good story! Very amusing.
The Acromantula and its Ability to Consume the Most Repulsive Beasts on This Earth by Mind_Over_Matter
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Intelligent, attractive, witty and classy first year, Draco Malfoy, has found himself stuck with the task of writing an essay for an incompetent, and frankly stupid teacher, Professor Quirrel.
Date: 11/24/06 Title: Chapter 1: Draco Malfoy. 11. Genius.
Where in the world do you come up with this stuff?! A half-starved monkey?! Priceless
I loved: the cunning Mr. Malfoy pulled a quill and parchment from the bag of a small Ravenclaw girl at the next table. How very much like Draco. I loved his extremely over-inflated ego also. Try to veer away from using words like ‘yucky’ and ‘gross’. Perhaps consider ‘density’, or ‘dim-witted’ or even such phrases as ‘lack of wit or mental ability’ instead. I would like to suggest adding in how very ugly James Potter was and the disadvantages of the ‘Potter gene’ That could keep a person laughing for weeks!!
Another awesome one-shot!

(Well that, and you're a really great writer in dark fiction, too boot!)
My most favorite part of all would have to be Snape's comments on the back of the parchment!
Author's Response:
Aww - thank you! Young!Draco was a whole lot of fun to write. He\'s got very few inhibitions and a highly respectable (/particularly frightening and rightly so) father, so he also has very few limits. Which means - yeah, fun!
Thank you for heading over to this little story, and I\'m very happy to hear that you liked it!
Date: 11/24/06 Title: Chapter 1: Draco Malfoy. 11. Genius.
Hmm, not quite sure how, but my review wasn't posted correctly. The very last line, the comment about Snape's part being my most favorite, should have gone just before the beginning of my quotes from his comments.
Hmm, does that make sense?
Well, sorry, anyway. Just wanted to clarify.
Author's Response:
Wow. I have absolutely, positively no idea how that might have happened. Ah, the joys of strange review function... uh, side-effects. O_O
Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived by Khrys
Rated: Professors •Summary: With the help of an ancient spell, his friends, and love, Harry embarks on his mission to destroy Voldemort. What will happen on the way? With Ginny, Ron, and Hermione by his side, will Harry find the solution? And where do Neville and Luna fit in all this?
And, as of August 25, 2006, I'm done. I sure hope you liked it!
Date: 06/21/06 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue
Who would have thought of making Cher a Witch? I love it! What a fascinating way to tie it into the real or 'Muggle' world. I enjoyed the chapter, and the mystery of it. Very nice writing style.
Author's Response: Thank you! I thought it fit nicely! I\'m glad to see you found your way over to my side of the Forbidden Forest!
Date: 06/21/06 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter One: Charmed and Bonded
Wow! It is clearly evident that a lot of hard work and thought went into this chapter. I get the feeling that you have this story planned out very well. Very fascinating chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
A Night to Forget by Alessandra_C
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Dumbledore has been killed, and Snape and Draco leave Hogwarts (for good?). Where have they gone? What was passing through their minds? A look at a missing scene in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".
Date: 07/30/06 Title: Chapter 4: A Cold Welcome
A very fascinating little story here! I like your writing style and your story telling. You said you were taking the story in the direction of your theories. I heartily agree with what you have come up with.
Excellent story.
Everybody Does It by Grimmrook
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: *Runner Up in the 2006 Annual Quicksilver Quills Awards for Best Dark/Angsty*
It's the one thing everyone must do. You can't avoid it, you can't bargain with it, you just do it. It hurts sometimes, hell, it hurts most of the time, but it's also the most natural thing in the world. One of those rare things that makes us human.
This story is included in the Epilogues story arc, however it is a side story that can be read at just about any time. it is most favorable, however, to wait until reading Epilogues Part I for certain thematic reasons.
Date: 09/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: Everybody Does It
What a deeply stirring and beautiful story. It was passionate and painful all at the same time. You have captured the emotions perfectly. A truly beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it.
Author's Response: Oh god, I owe you two huge thanks at once really. One is just for reading this story. This is the single story I am most proud of. It\'s by far not my most popular story, but it is my favorite. So just for reading and reviewing thank you so much. But also for the second nomination, I truly appreciate that as well. I could seriously talk about this story for ages, where it came from, why I wrote it, why I did things in it the way I did, but really, the simple thing about this, the reason why I think it\'s connects with people is because It\'s me. I\'m not on my deathbed, but this is what was going through my head when one day I foundmyself having to say goodbye to my two daughters. So yeah, it gets rough. Anyway thanks so much for both the review and the nod, and I hope you\'ll come back around and checkthe rest of my stories, all of which in the same storyline as this, although much much earlier.
