Beauty From Pain by BeautyInTheBreakdown

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Ginny mourns the death of Harry by looking back to her past, thinking on memory. Character death Post HBP H/G
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 08/25/06 Title: Chapter 1: Living a Memory

OK, so you know I love this story! You use imagery beautifully! Sight, touch and sound, you bring it all together.

Ginny's emotions are well thought out and presented. As you are reading you feel them too. The emotions are deep and believable, which can be hard to write. Great job!

My favourite part has to be the end. The Thestrals. They added SO much to the story! It shows what they went through and had to endure, death and suffering to get to place without it. A place where beauty can flourish. That scene is written beautifully.

Overall, *gives standing ovation* very well done! I can wait to read more from you!

~Leah

Author's Response: Yay! A review! Not to mention it\'s from Leah! I\'m so glad you liked the story, and once again, I curse at the fact that everyone\'s favorite part is the thestrals and that idea cam from my friend. *sigh* that\'s life, I guess. At least I wrote it...*shrug* thanks for the review!

The Gryffindor Chasers by Khrys

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: After George takes Angelina to the Yule Ball, she'll do anything to get him back. She's head over heels, but she's not the only one. What will the Gryffindor Chasers do for the wizards they love, and how far will they go to get them?
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 03/08/07 Title: Chapter 1: The Gryffindor Chasers

Khrys my dear old friend,

That was really cute!

Everything happened a bit too perfectly for me though. Girls like boys, boys like girls, girls trick boys, girls and boys get together, the end. Maybe add a little more confusion to the mix.

Overall, I really liked it. It was fun and well written! Great job, hun!

~Leah

Author's Response: Thank you, Leah. It is such a good thing to hear some praise from a good OLD friend.



Alone by BeautyInTheBreakdown

Rated: Professors •

*chills* As you already know, I love it! You wrote the emotions well and the storyline is fantastic! *knows what happens next* hehehehe! I can't wait to read more of this story and what you have planned next!

Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 09/07/06 Title: Chapter 3: Déja-vu

Again, beautifully done!!! I love it! You wrote her panic just right! "She wasn’t thinking. She wasn’t even breathing, she was just going." This gave me chills!!! Great job! *waits for more*

~Leah

Author's Response: *I shall say it again* This story would be in the trash if it wasn\'t for you. I\'m glad you liked it. Hopefully I\'ll get chapter four written soon! Thanks for the review!

The Insufferable Zipper by Aelan Greenleaf

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: "What's my problem, Ginny, what's my problem? My problem is that you've oh-so-calmly suggested that my best friend has had the dubious pleasure of seeing you starkers!" - A wardrobe malfunction creates problems for one Harry Potter. [H/G, R/H]
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 09/02/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Insufferable Zipper

Oh! That was cute! You wrote them all very well! You added the right amount of everything into the story, humour, romance, drama. It all fit! Great job!

The Final Goodbye by Sly Severus

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: James and Lily have just gotten married, but James must say goodbye to someone from his past before he can truly begin his life with his new wife.
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 03/08/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Elle,

Wow. I like this! I always get a shiver of disgust when I think of James and Petunia, but not with your fic.

You characterize them both well and you have a great plot.

A few little things I noticed.

He had just pled his heart to another woman. ~ Should that be "pledged his heart"?

There was no passion, but she could feel love just the same, even if it was only from her own desire for it to there. ~ Should that be "for it to be there"?

Overall, I really like this fic. It is short, sweet and thought provoking. You have changed my views on James and Petunia!

~Leah

Author's Response: *huggles Leah*

Thanks so much for the review. I\'m really glad you liked it. James and Petunia aren\'t a pairing that I really ship, but I gave it a shot in this gift fic. It kind of changed my outlook on them both as well. :D

Thanks so much for pointing out the errors. I am off to fix them right now. And again, thank you for the review.



Questions Asked of the Horizon by guiding ray of sunlight

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Jonothan Ivory has gone through a event he wishes upon no one. But how will he get through it?How will he get over his longing for his beloved Moiré?
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 11/17/06 Title: Chapter 1: Questions Asked of the Horizon

Sunray,

Wow! You captured Jonathan’s grief and emotions really well. His thoughts were disjointed yet following the same path; they fit the mood just right.

I thought that adding his need to protect his sister as he couldn’t protect Moire was genius! It added a new dimension to the story. It gave him some hope, which I think fit very well.

The imagery you used was beautiful. The description of the clouds and sky was amazing! It gave the story a different feel, it gave it something that the reader can connect with, something we all have seen and understand.

Some of his thoughts were a little odd and didn’t make complete sense. His thoughts seemed to get very philosophical and sounded a bit strange. I understood them, but they seemed a little out of place near the end of the story.

Also, in the last paragraph you capitalize ‘He’ when it wasn’t at the beginning of the sentence multiple times.

Overall, I thought it was good! You really did a great job!

~Leah

Author's Response: Ooh! Leah! *huggles* Thanks for the review!! I\'m glad you liked it! I fixed up the mistake you pointed out. The philosophical thoughts at the end came from the influence of a song I was listening to. They are meant to be weird, because Jon is slowly losing touch with this world and then is brought back by Rose. Once again, thank you so so so much for the review! ~Sunray



The Taste of Champagne by Gemma Hawk

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Susan Bones has not had a feeling of warmth spread through her body since she tasted her mother’s champagne at age nine. Now Susan is fourteen, and her life is falling apart. Nothing seems to be going her way, and to make it all worse, she can’t sleep. While taking a walk, Susan collides with Draco Malfoy. Can he make her warm again? Susan/Draco.
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 12/11/06 Title: Chapter 1: Oneshot

Gemma dear,

Your imagery was amazing! The way you describe how she feels while drinking the champagne and then how nothing else seems to compare was brilliant!

The ship was a bit odd (this coming from a Severus/Hermione shipper). But, I liked it! Draco was OOC, but if fit and I didn’t mind. I have never really thought about Susan Bones at all, as a character, but you gave her life and depth. She seemed very human, giving her depression worked well, it pulled the story along just right.

I loved how you pull it all together, using the feeling of warmth after drinking alcohol as the tie. I would have never thought of it! This is going in my favourites!

Great job!

~Leah

Author's Response: Leah, sweetie, thanks so much! Yes, I suppose Draco was OOC, but I have this fantasy of even him being capable of sweetness. :) Thanks so much again!



All That Glitters Isn't Gold by Lurid

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Nicholas Flamel has called on his most trusted friend to his château in Paris to help him in his time of need – Albus Dumbledore.



Nicholas has something terrible to ask of Albus, something only Albus would be able to help with, a matter concerning his wife.

Winner of the Winter HHWP!!
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 11/17/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot

I really enjoyed this story! I have never read a story about Nicholas Flamel before, and I was pleasantly surprised!

I liked how you made something like immortality human. It is something that a normal person can’t really grasp, but you have brought it to a level that is interesting and makes sense.

I have always thought of Flamel as almost not human because of his immortality, you took him and gave him very human emotions and faults in a believable way. The way you made his relationship with his wife have bad points as well as good points was nice. That isn’t something I have seen before, they have always been the prefect couple, and you made them human.

I saw a few things you may want to fix. ‘The letters had been coming to Hogwarts increasingly desperately, one after the other in an urgent plea to mean.’ Should that be ‘desperate’ and ‘meet’ not ‘mean’? Also: ‘but alas, they we unable to reverse time without consequences.’ Should that be ‘then we are unable’?

‘At the sight of his friend’s raised eyebrows at the sudden appearance of the object, he merely whispered quietly, ‘Magic.’’ I love this line! It is so Dumbledore and added a nice lift to the seriousness of the story.

I really like this story and the emotion and humanity you gave the characters. Great job!

~Leah

Author's Response: Leah! Thank you for this FANTASTIC REVIEW! You had me in SQUEE\'S! I\'m editing it right now, in fact, and you\'ve helped me quite a lot! Such a kind reviewer! ♥



One Man's Traitor by Eponine

Rated: 1st-2nd Years • Past Featured Story
Summary: One man’s traitor is another man’s savior. Peter must choose to be the Order’s meek tool or the Dark Lord’s valuable assistant. A Peter Pettigrew character study.
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 02/20/07 Title: Chapter 1: One Man's Traitor

Abby,

*dies*

Peter's character has always intrigued me. Why he did what he did, and all. This story answers the questions, in a believable way.

Each flashback was appropriate and fit the whole fic just right.

Peter's characterization is amazing. His feeling low and wanting to show them all. His betrayal. How you have his hands, at the end, 'shimmer like silver' was genius! It connects this fic with the books and Peter getting his silver hand at the end of OotP.

All the pieces fit just right, and the writing was great!

Overall, I love it!

~Leah

Author's Response: Aww thanks sooo much!

I\'m so happy you thought it was believable; that was one of my biggest concerns when I was writing.

I\'m so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for reviewing! *glomps*

What Lies Beneath the Surface by BloodRayne

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Narcissa’s father has arranged for her to marry Lucius Malfoy, thinking it best to marry his daughter to a rich pure-blood. But Narcissa does not want to live with a man she does not love.
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 12/10/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Wow. I love the light you gave to Lucius and Narcissa's marriage. I don't think I have ever read someone talk about Narcissa's feelings about her marriage that way.

You gave Narcissa a great personality and her thoughts were believable. I could totally see her marriage happening that way.

I would have liked more story from in-between the engagement and the wedding though.

Great job!

~Leah

Author's Response: I think when I was writing it, I was writing quickly and somehow incorporated that into the story...to make it fast-paced, so that things seem to be happening suddenly. Eh... Thanks, Leah! ^_^



Et in Mortem Ego by Hesperia

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: What happens to Voldemort after the end of Deathly Hallows? Can even he find his peace? One-shot, Voldemort's POV.



Major DH spoiler warning -- If you are among those 2 or 3 people who haven't finished the book yet, stay away from this. Otherwise, please R&R!
Reviewer: whittyleah Signed
Date: 08/27/07 Title: Chapter 1: Et in Mortem Ego

This story is freaking amazing.

You use the flow and tone of the piece to tell such a powerful story! I had tears in my eyes by the end, that never happens.

You took such a horrible man, Voldemort, and broke him down until the reader could really understand him and feel for him. You show that even he, the Dark Lord, could hope and feel. That isn't something easy to do and you did it wonderfully!

The last three paragraphs are my favorite part. It is the perfect ending.

Overall, you wrote a beautiful, moving story. Great job. I hope you don't mind, but I am going to nominate you in the upcoming Quick Silver Quill awards here on MNFF.

~Leah

Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much for the nomination! I\'m so glad you liked it and I\'m very flattered! ^_^
