Lovely. So far. A little short, however. I do hope the next chapter has more text with the same intensity of description and feeling put into so little words and the same hinting of things to come.
Cute and fluffy with great description. The only thing I didn't like is that I couldn't really find the Snape we see in the books through Harry. However, it was nicely done. Rating this a 7.
Author's Response: Harry would never have seen Snape in this light! LOL So in a way it's good that you didn't see Harry's Snape. I must admit, I was a little freer with his characterisation than I would have been in HPDL...this was always meant to be a fluffy thing and is very different to the proposal scene that made it into the main fic. :-) Thanks for reviewing!
Wow, this was confusing. When you begin, I have no idea when and where Harry is and how he got there. Also, it's hard to tell whether the room he is in is his room or Percy's room. The use of present tense didn't seem to work, either. Rating this a 5.
Author's Response: Well it is supposed to be a little ambiguous. You are not supposed to know every little detail. Sorry about the tense. I am terrible at that.
That was really sad! But it was rather obvious that Ron was writing a letter to her telling her he loved her. Still rating this an 8, however! Good job!
Author's Response: Thank you. I knew that the letter would be a give-away, but I didn't think that Hermione would be able to see that. Love is blind. ^-^
I liked it. It's something different and you have a nice grasp of Neville's character. You have a few typos, including 'heals' instead of heels, 'song' instead of son, and 'Me' ' instead of mine. Additionally, the chapter felt a bit more like a one-shot than a chapter, probably because there was tons of different ideas stuffed into it. Rating this a 7.
A wonderful, wonderful job, Maeve. Nice and slow and very thought out. I am not a H/Hr or a H/G shipper, but I still loved it very much. The moral is clearly thought out and impressed upon the reader. One little thing about grammar: 'Wondering, idly, why he was standing in a street, in the middle of the night, wearing only his slippers and –was this his dressing gown?'
First of all, this sentence is a fragment and therefore doesn't flow. Second, please remove the commas around 'idly.' You don't need either of them. But other than that, it was great! Rating it a 9 and putting it on my favorites list.
Author's Response: I'm not a H/Hr shipper either (I'm not a shipper at all :-) ) which is why I tried to be fairly vague about Hermione's relationship. She loves him, of course she does, they have been friends for a long time...there is no explicit romantic love shown though. And yes, re-reading it that line is a little off, I'll take another look at it. Thank you for the review. I'm glad you liked it enough to put it on your favourites!
You misspelled 'peers' when talking about Hermione, but other than that it was pretty good. However, I would have liked an amount of text for Hermione and Ron that equaled that for Harry. Rating this a 6 because I've seen you write much better.
Author's Response: I would've written more, but it would have seemed really forced, and it would sound ad. I tried though. :)
No one's reviewing my Draco/OC fic! Waaaa! *hinthintwinkwinknudgenudge*
Author's Response: I did! (And yes, i am in spew...teehee)
Loved the dream, that was hilarious. Loved Snape in a bathrobe, that was sexy. Loved Goyle making excuses, that was unusual. Loved Crabbe losing teeth, that was hilarious. Loved the I-Hate-Ron pajamas, that was sexy. Loved Satan, that rocked. Giving this a 7.
Author's Response: Wow, I didn't know there was so much to love. :-) You know Hogwarts wizards in pjs are sexy. ;-)
This just keeps getting better and better. The best part is that, unlike most humor stories, it actually has a plot line. And it's halfway believable, too. :D Draco with flushed pink cheeks looking all pretty...*licks lips.* Yum. Rating this an 8.
Author's Response: 1/2 way believable? *Shocked* Didn't even know I had a plot, thank you though.
*shakes head while grinning* "There are more than two of us." "Yes, but I'm ignoring you." And how more ridiculous can you get than Draco dreaming that he's a knight saving a princess from a fire-breathing dragon, but the princess is really Ron? Unless Ron dreaming that he's a princess being saved from a fire-breathing dragon by a knight, but the knight is Draco, tops it? (did that make sense) Rating this a 8. Please hurry up and update Marie! :D
Author's Response: Guess what? I UPDATED! It's a miracle! After years of writer's block I concocted a completely pointless chapter! YAY! And guess what? Hogwarts uses DIXIE CUPS!!! Okay, wow, I'm a bit hyper. Haha.
Wow, Marie, I am laughing so hard that my friends are giving me weird looks....I love how all this is fitting together. Update soon please! Rating this a 9.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'll try to update!
It was nice but ended much too abruptly. You should have described her getting older and pulling even further into her shell before saying that she died in my opinion. Rating this a 5.
Author's Response: I shall consider re-writing the ending. Thanks for reviewing!
I liked it but there were a few mistakes...McGonagall should have called Bellatrix *Miss* Black, not Ms. Black. Additionally, since when is a knife a "muggle artifact?" *is extremely confused* Rating this a 6.
Author's Response: Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't women over 12 supposed to be referred to as 'Ms.'? Or is it that in dialogue it is to be fully spelled out? If not, Ms. is the correct usage for a 16-year-old Bellatrix. And 'artifact' simply means
An object produced or shaped by human craft, especially a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest.
It doesn't always have to be a historical object. I simply chose that as the word to use. It is considered correct.
Thanks fore reviewing, though, and for pointing out things that might be mistakes. And I know most people would hate you for that '6', but I give out stars lightly as well, and know that for you it replaces what most people put as an eight. No biggie!
You imitated a person's thought patterns quite beautifully and accurately. Good job. However...you had Ginny talk about God a lot. Unfortunately, wizards do not have religion and therefore do not say that. When you're using it as an intensifier, use Merlin instead. Additionally, you used two words that I'm sure are completely American: ya and gung-ho. But other than that, it was pretty good. Your best yet. Giving this a 7.
Author's Response: Um...I have never heard that wizards do not have a religion. It it just not mentioned in the books. I think it is perfectly fine to have God in the story.
