Ahhh! I understand now! It makes a lot of sense now. Sorry!!
Author's Response: Glad everything got cleared up for you. :-)
What an amusing thought, the TWINS at Privet Drive! I'm glad Harry is finally getting to have some fun with the Dursley's... unfortunately, I don't think the Dursley's are enjoying it much.
Author's Response: Every time I think about Fred and George at Privet Drive, I get this evil little smirk. I had so much fun writing this part of the story. And I agree with you; the Dursleys aren\'t enjoying this at all!

Author's Response: Whoops! That\'s a double.
I really enjoyed this chapter, but I have one thing... I thought it was Fred who was supposed to find the broom repair stuff? After all:
"Tell you what; I’ll have a look around Diagon Alley when I switch back with George, and I’ll let you know what I find.”
You didn't mention if Fred informed George or what...?
Author's Response: You\'re right. I can\'t believe I didn\'t catch that. *sigh* Let\'s just assume Fred told George all about it. Maybe he sent him a note or told him while he was out communicating with Dumbledore. Yeah, that\'s it.
I love the thought of Fred speaking flirtatiously to Petunia!! That just cracks me right up!
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m not sure where I got that particular idea, but I laugh every time I re-read that part of the story. Hehe!

Author's Response: Ditto.
This was incredibly creative and well written! I absolutely loved it. It was very funny and definately very original... yet strangely familiar!
My favorite line has to be:
'"Well taken care of," Snape added, thinking fondly of the stories where he finally got to wash his hair with some decent shampoo. Sadly, this one wasn't one of them.'
Excellent job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!! I appreciate your kind words. I, too, love that line, along with
\"How\'s Dumbledore?\"
\"Still dead.\"
How incredibly sweet and innocent a song! I can absolutely imagine Gideon saying such words. I especially loved the lines:
Born was I, both simple and plain.
Not rich, nor smart, just normal, mundane
It's sad to think that he views himself as mundane.
Good job!
Author's Response:
^^ At the moment I\'m more in Morticia\'s headspace as I attempt to write a story with her actually in it, and she\'s one of a few people who would whack Gideon in the head for calling himself mundane...
On the flipside, too, I just came to realise this was her second story in which to appear to be a Sue.
BUT back to the present, eh? Thankyouthankyou times a million!
How cleverly silly! I thoroughly enjoyed the Dark Lord getting harassed by a little girl. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you! Voldemort seems to be intimidated by children... first Harry Potter, now Bob?
A very nice little Christmas story, this! Very amsuing series of events. I can just imagine Draco trying to get along in the Muggle world. The thought of him stepping out into the street scared me! I was just waiting for him to be sent flying through the air.
Your story is well written and contains some nice imagery. Good job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I\'m very glad you enjoyed it. :D
BRILLIAINT! I love how you have made it Lily being the one coming up with those things written in the Potions book!!
I'm not sure about where the actual insult came in, though. How him telling her he loved her suddenly set her off about rumours she'd heard.
I do like the story, though, neat idea. I especially love the Evanescence influence!
Author's Response: Before this was published, VV rejected a chapter that kinda mixed up Severus\' POV with Lily\'s. On one hand, it was very useful, because we could tell exactly what was going through Lily\'s mind. On the other hand, VV was right by saying it was confusing. Anyways, I hope I explained it satisfactorily in chapter 2. Thanks a lot for the review!
Author's Response: oh yeah, Evanescence influence comes in later. You\'ll see, I took a certain metaphor in one of their songs and made it litteral, it will be insanely obvious which one when chapter 5 is out.
You have a very nice writing style. Really good imagery and nice movement.
I feel so badly for Snape. She was so rough on him, and now she second guessing herself!
Author's Response: *blushes* thanks a lot! You\'re an excellent author yourself, so it feels awesome to have you compliment my writing:). However it might\'ve appeared in chapter 1, Lily is NOT a bitch, so I knew that she would think better of her actions.
This was such a beautiful start to a story! Everyone knows what Fenrir turns out to be, so reading this makes one hungry to go on to the next chapters, just to know what happens next. Life seems like it had been so sweet and wonderful for Greyback, how could he turn into the monster he became?
You've woven a wonderfully believable backstory here. The imagery was excellent. From the very beginning, everything felt so cozy and sweet and loving.
You've done a spectacular job! I'm glad I started that thread, otherwise I probably never would have found this.
Author's Response: Hi! I\'m so glad that you like my fic. =))) *jumps up on Cloud 9*
I can\'t tell you how relieved I am whenever I hear it\'s believable. =) That\'s the biggest thing I want to stick to, making this as realiztic as possible.
Like I said, thank you sooo much! You\'ve officially made my day. XD
Interesting. Characters are really beginning to shape up. We can see the young deviants in action as they begin to take their first steps toward the dark side. I'm interested to see that you made Fenrir so hestitant about committing a wrong. I'm sad to see him think that it was time to start acting like a Slytherin. Very tragic, indeed.
Author's Response: Thanks again for your nice review! *huggles* I\'m so very happy that you like it, and that you took the time to tell me so! =D)))
Very fascinating start to the story, although I ignored your advice and read tihs before reading the first story! I'm sorry!! I will have to read the other story so that it makes sense, although I was able to follow this one really well.
I thought it was very well written and you have lots of really good imagery in here. I have enjoyed this chapter and am looking forward to see what happens next.
Good job!
Author's Response: Yay1 My loverly three-word-story-er reviewed! Thanks! *huggles*
The first story doesn\'t explain much, just her relationsship to Draco and Ginny\'s relationship with him, which will become very important in later chapters.
