My real name is Natalie but everyone calls me Nat-Pat, this is because of my father's evil workmates. The day i was born my dad's best friend put a big sign up in their workshop saying 'Big Dave's got a Nat Pat!' and the name stuck.

wow, you are so good at the, short, to the point and intense verses.
Author's Response: Thanks! I've been really into free verse, so I decided to branch out and write a Harry Potter poem.
Re-reading this reminded me of how much i liked it, the interaction between the marauders is spot on and i absolutely love Remus!
Author's Response: Thank you for all of your reviews!
Oooooh you're so mean! How could you just leave us hanging like this? That was great, i'm on the verge of not breathing! Can't wait for the next update - really i can't i may suffocate if it's not up soon! If i could give you eleven i would - in fact who says i can't *11*.
Author's Response: Thanks for coming back for my latest update. Sorry for the cliffie, I do believe it was the worst one I've done so far. Chapter 12 is now under construction, and hopefully I can submit it by the weekend. I also just got done reading and reviewing your terrific story!!
That was a really good start, i liked Ron's reaction to seeing Hermione - that really made me laugh! I'm off to read the next chapter...
Author's Response: Thanks! I can actually picture Ron doing something like that if he saw Hermione and wasn't expecting her.
I love Ron! he can be so funny! Another really good chapter - that Ginny's a sly one, she really is like Fred and George. I can't wait any longer for chapter 3 so i have to go now...
Author's Response: Yeah, I think Ron is totally fun to write. As far as Ginny goes, her character hasn't been deeply delved into in the books. I can see her being a lot like Fred and George, and a little bit cheeky when the mood suits her :)
Ooooh! Nice Cliffhanger. Hermione can just be so cute, i love the way she keeps flinging her arms around Ron. I love his reactions even more though!
Author's Response: Thanks for another kind review! I think it's quite funny for Hermione to fluster Ron a bit!
I have to hand it to you, you've got one hell of an imagination there. That chapter was fantastic, you've hooked me in!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you stumbled across my little story and liked it enough to keep reading!! (and reviewing)
Ah men! Iloved this chapter, i was pretty much in stitches the whole way through. Good work, keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad I could make you laugh! Hope you enjoy the rest of my story!
Awwww! Ron and Hermione finally together, how sweet was that? Can't wait to see where the tunnel goes... *10*
Author's Response: Yeah, I was anxious to get everyone together, but didn't want to do it too soon. Thanks again!
Harry and Ginny together now too! I love this! You are doing such a brilliant job, i'm enjoying this so much.
Author's Response: Thanks again! Harry and Ginny's first interlude wasn't meant to be quite as *heated* as Ron and Hermione's. I pictured their first encounter to be more innocent.
Where do you come up with these things? I am baffled by your creativity - maybe you could send some my way? Anyhow, another fantastic chapter - i loved it! *10*
Author's Response: I have just packaged up a healthy serving of my creativity and sent it to you overnight mail ;) You should get it any time! Thanks for your awesome review!
Neville's scene was one of the funniest things i've read, i couldn't stop laughing. On to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Yeah, poor Neville, always getting into scrapes! I think that he was starting to come out of it quite a bit in the Order of the Phoenix.
Is it normal to cry with fictional characters? I don't really care either way, poor Harry and Ginny. You were absolutely right the song did fit perfectly, another beautiful chapter down and i am more desperate than a desperate housewife, i need - not want - need to know if Ginny recovers!
Author's Response: It's perfectly fine to cry, I was tearing up myself a bit there at the end for poor Harry, and that song ALWAYS makes me cry! I'm glad you thought it fit! I'll be starting on chapter 14 today, keep your fingers crossed that it gets written as fast as 13 did.
There were so many things i liked about this chapter, as there have been with the ones that have gone before it. In particular Harry's animagus form being a stag and him telling Ginny that purple was his favourite colour - that was just adorable. I'm having to sit on my hands to keep myself from checking if chapter 11 is up every five minutes. I can't wait! *10*
Author's Response: You're so nice! I meant to have Ginny's hair go back to normal in chapter 11, but I didn't quite get around to it. Maybe in chapter 12..... :) Also, chapter 11 has been submitted and I hope you'll come back to read it!
Bravo! I just feel so bad for Harry and Ginny, but Hermione and Ron are so funny and entirely adorable. I would love to see a sequel, you have done such great work on this one!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm terribly glad you have enjoyed it! I AM doing a sequel, and WILL post the first chapter by the end of the week.
Brilliant! Sheer and utter brilliance! I'm sad because it's over but doing a little dance of delight because theres a sequel! Bella finally got hers and i loved it, very imaginative indeed! Once again your Ron and Hermione stuff was incredibly cute. This was without any doubts one of the best fics i've had the pleasure of reading, you're a wonderful writer. Bring on the sequel!
Author's Response: Wow! You are too kind! *blushes* It's very encouraging to hear that you think I'm a great writer. I had a lot of fun with this story, and ideas for what will happen in the sequel are just filling my head. I hope you'll read it too!
Forgot to tell you that the next chapter of my fic is available for your perusal!
Author's Response: Thanks for the info! I've read and reviewed it, and it was terrific!
What a chapter! Excellent work! Your portrayal of Bella was spot on, and i like the way you had Harry nearly killing her, you kept us hanging right to the last minute. I'm glad he didn't kill her because he would have torn himself apart with guilt. I loved it, and am desperate to find out how the other three are, here's hoping for a speedy validation! *10*
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad everyone thought I did a good job with Bella, I tried to make her plenty evil. Ultimately I didn't want to have Harry finish her off, although he may have if Dumbledore hadn't stopped him. Chapter 13 is practically writing itself it's coming so fast. I'll be dealing with the injured parties (I hope everyone likes what I have in store for Milius). If all goes well, I'll be ready to submit tomorrow or at the latest, Wednesday.
In the words of the immortal JKR "You're a bit good aren't you?" it was really amazing how you managed to some up Sirius feelings in so little words, it was intense. I really liked it, you should write more like this!
Author's Response: Thank you! I've been thinking of writing a story based upon this poem. Oh! You just made me very happy! That quote- thank you!
First things first - i hope you're okay and your back isn't giving you too much trouble.
This was another fabulous chapter, i love the idea of them moving in to Potter Manor and might just borrow that one for my fic if that's alright? I really like the new sympathetic Harry, he was very understanding with Petunia and that was nice. I'm so glad that he has some stuff to remember his parents by, i think that's something he's really lacked. Tonks and Remus are just so adorable, they are quickly becoming my favourite couple! I'm looking forward to the next chapter *10*
Author's Response: The back is..well...there. It is a chronic problem and doesn't take much to set off.
Now onto the thanks for the review. You are more than welcome to borrow the idea. I am happy that you liked it enough to want to use it. Thanks so much for all your kind words.
