Wow, what a beautiful start. Amazing. Bravo!
Author's Response: A beautiful start to what? This fic is finished. It\'s a one-shot. :P
I wonder if I can review myself. Sorry, if this does work, just know it was the work of a hyper child. :)
Author's Response: Wow, great.. Now I can\'t delete it! :D :D I have my moments..
Wow! I really love it! Snape's sarcasm and wit are hilarious and have made me love this side of him.
I like how he's quick thinking and intimidating towards the head medic. It's a great characteration of Snape, it's making me like him as a character lol.
It's flowing really nicely; when I reached the end of the chapter, I couldn't believe I'd made it. It seemed very long but in reality, it was so good that reading it was fun and I didn't even notice it's length.
Great writing! I'm looking foreward to reading more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope you enjoy the rest of it as well.
Wow, what a beautiful story. Everything, it was just, amazing. All your one-shots are just great. I really love them. I'm taken aback at how much I love this. Awesome.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Sarakime. I really appreciate your flattering review!
Behind Those Emerald Eyes is a very intriguing story about Hermione and a man named Everett. It is in the Harry/Hermione category, and through this story you can see that (SPOILER, I suppose?) Everett is actually Harry. It is set at Hogwarts, where Hermione is a teacher and Everett, a new employee for Defense Against the Dark Arts, ‘meets’ her. Everyone around the school knows that Hermione is depressed because Harry left her and Ron years ago to go fight the Dark Lord single-handedly, and Everett is told to try and make her happy or befriend her. He does that, and in the process they begin to fall in love once again.
This story is not yet complete, but with the eight (actually seven, with a prologue) chapters it already has, I am in love with this story. The characterization of Everett is very similar to Harry’s, though you can tell he has changed a bit. It is easy to love this character whether you think of him as Harry or as Everett himself. Hermione has yet to realize that Harry and Everett are the same person, but I have a feeling that she’s coming dangerously close to the realization.
Also, in Behind Those Emerald Eyes, there is a funny characterization of Draco after he was hit by a memory charm. He is now a very scared person, not half of what he used to be. Draco has a thing for Hermione, and is trying to gather up all the courage in his body to tell her so, but he feels that Everett is getting in the way. I have a feeling he will cause a disruption in the relationship of Hermione and Everett, but nothing is certain, seeing as this fiction is not yet completed.
What I really like about this story is that is goes to show that no matter how hard you try to give up a person, you end up falling for them all over again if they are re-introduced into your life. Hermione has tried so hard to get over Harry, and is now trying to avoid her feelings for Everett, but in the end I still believe that she loves them both, though, they are the same person.
Generally, the plot line of this story is so good, though I’m not even sure where it’s going to go. The writing of this author is very, very good and easy to read in the sense that you just want to keep reading more and more. This story is addicting, from its slightly steamy moments between Hermione/Everett, to the funny moments of Draco’s attempts to tell Hermione he likes her. This story is a great read, and I hope the author updates soon.
(This was written for the Favorite Non-Canon Romance Story review thing, just so you know!)
Author's Response: wow. i mean, wow. i\'m flattered sooo much! thank you and i\'m thrilled to hear you enjoy my writing so much!
the only thing is, my story does follow canon (harry and hermione loved each other as friends before the events of my story, nothing more =) But other than that, thank you so much! just wanted to clarify =)
once again, thank you and i feel so humbled!
Your story is *so* amazing, and I hope you know that. It's one of the only Harry/Hermione stories that I still read because that it is so awesome. The writing is really amazing, and I have fallen in love with 'Landon' *hint hint, nudge nudge* lol I love every one's characterization in this story, and I enjoy reading every new chapter! In a month, I shall be checking back here avidly!
Author's Response: I feel so flattered and humbled! Thank you so much, I don\'t even know what to say! Well, I\'ve fallen in love with \'Landon\' as well, or at least the name =) The compliment about my characterization is definately welcome! I try to keep things canon and yet different at the same time. So glad to hear you are enjoying my story so much and thank you again for your review! =)
This entire story is simply amazing. I love every bit about it, and I think I have reviewed it before saying so. I'm not sure. Anyways, I was really bored and made a really small banner for this story, if you'd like to see it, you can AIM me or PM me on the forums, if you want. I just wanted to tell you. Anyways, keep up the great work and update soon!
Author's Response: You made me a banner?! I love you!! =D I feel so special that you loved my story enough to do so. It made my day! I would LOVE to see the banner and post it on here! Thank you for letting me know your thoughts on my writing!
Wow!!! Amazing story! Please, update soon! It's so amazing that I'm all jittery. Wonderful writing and great images! Bravo!
Author's Response: Hey, Sarah. Thanks for the review! I\'m glad you like it. Thanks so much for all the compliments. You\'re making me all giddy! :D
/br>
Next chapter is now in the que! :D
Author's Response: Hmmm...please ignore the remnants of coding as I forgot a bracket. :D
So cute. =) I like it.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Such a beautiful story. :) It gives me a sence of hope, even if everything else is wrong. Lovely!
Author's Response: Thank you! :D
Hermione knew it wasn’t her business. And she didn’t mean to get involved either. But it’s difficult not to when you realise that you’re the only one who has noticed this change; that no one else seems to care that Draco Malfoy is looking more and more tired, weak and pale each day, sporting dark circles under his eyes, and Hermione wants to know why.
I didn’t expect a thank you; a nod was fine with me.
8th story in a series of Hermione/Draco one-shots (Check out my author page for more information)

Wow, that is really great. I love it. The banter at the end, it was just perfect. You're reallying showing them greatly, in character. Can't wait until the next chapter! :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Sarakime! I\'m very flattered that you liked it. I promise I won\'t let you and others wait too long for Part 2.
Awww! This story is so cute! I love baby Hermione's characterization, as well as Draco's. It's really a great story! I'm looking forward to more!! (*casually wishes it would eventually, perhaps, turn into a Dramione fic !*)[when she gets back to her normal age, of course!]
Author's Response: <.< >.>
I can\'t promise that but I insist you keep reading - I think you\'ll be pleasantly surprised - I maybe have writer\'s block, but the ending is all planned out already. *hugs* Ritta
This story is so cute and heartwarming! I love the way you characterize baby Hermione, as well as the way you show Draco's discomfort about the situation. It's all so great! And the writing, in general, is outstanding! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks for your wonderful compliments on my writing! My betas do the dirty work though. *looks for Kate and Gina* They catch all my tiny mistakes. *lol*
LMAO
Hilarious, that's all I can say.
Forget the stupid people who don't have a sence of humor. It was great.
I love the part where Dumbledoor says, '.. so I thought, why the hell friggin not?'
LMAO
I can't stop laughing. Bravo!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Sarakime! I\'m glad you liked Dumbledore - I enjoyed writing his speech :) Cheers!
Awww!! It was so cute!! I love it. It was so sweet. I love the side of Draco you showed, the father and loving side. Aww! I love this fic. It makes me feel like hugging someone I love. :D Really great work!! I just want to keep aww-ing for some reason. :)
Author's Response: *gasp!* first review! Thank you for the kind words. This story gives me warm fuzzies too. I\'m glad it had that effect on you too - thanks.
Wow. Abbi wasn't kidding when she said this fic was great. It is absolutely amazing.
I was crying within the first few paragraphs, and again more towards the end. It's realistic and sad, but it still has hope. I liked how she finally responded to Harry about the stars.
It was a great fic, Pablo! *runs off to favoritize*
Author's Response: HI Sarah! (I hope I\'m not mixing your name!)
Thank you very much! :) I cannot say enough how worried I was about the story giving a wrong or negative impression to the readers, so all this support has been really great.
About that particular scene (when Hope answers him), I was a little bit wary. I couldnn\'t decide if it\'d too cliché. I figured that that was the way I wanted it to be indepently of whether it looked as a cliché or not.
Finally, it\'s great to know that you were able to feel Harry\'s emotion as that\'s exactly what I strived to achieve.
Again, thank you very much for taking the time to review my story :D (oh, and for \'favoritising\' my story :p).

Wow! This fiction is a fantastic piece of work. I hadn't even thought of it as being the opening chapter to Book7, but as of now I find it quite fitting.
The first bit of the fiction is satisfyingly dark, though not horribly overdone (seeing as in an HP book, things don't get overly overly dark =]). Your descriptions of actions and reactions are very good, and I must compliment you on some of the contrasts you were able to make between the nice setting and dark characters, or dark characters and the hope within them.
I personally would've liked to see more of Draco's reaction to his mother's death, more of his thoughts, but seeing as he was trying to be in disguise, I understand that he couldn't show his emotions.
Also, Snape seemed very in character. I *loved* the paragraph that explained how Voldemort's plan for Draco was originally supposed to go, and how he would be mad at Snape for interfearing. That is exactly how I figure things happening in thte seventh book, and it was great to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
Great story, and I'll have fun comparing this to the actual first chapter once we finally get our hands on Deathly Hallows!
Author's Response: Oh my, thank you for the amazing review! I\'m so thrilled that you picked this story for class! After reading the other comments and reviews, I have to agree that the middle section with Draco could use a bit more, although at the time I was writing it as more of a transition between the first section and the last section. I will certainly keep an eye on such things in the future, though! I\'m so glad you found Snape in character, I am not a Snape expert but I really enjoy writing him. I am also interested in seeing how this compares to DH next month, although I\'ll be shocked if it\'s even close. Thanks again for reading this story, and for leaving such a wonderful review!! ~Gina :)
Wow, I am absolutely in love with this story! The writing is beautiful, and the descriptions were great. And, most importantly, it was very real. I'm glad I stumbled upon this story. Good luck!
Author's Response: You completely made my day! I am so glad you liked it - thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! *wipes tears from eyes and gives big hug*
Oh, wow, what a great story. I really, really hope you write a sequel to this, seeing as it's so open-ended! Please?! I'd really love to see more. I love how you've showed both of them: really in character, and pretty much just wonderful. Bravo!
Author's Response: Thanks for the compliments. Being in character is one of my main focuses so it is nice to know when it seems to work. I can\'t promise a sequal, but I will try if I can get another plot bunny rolling.
Thanks again!
Great, great story! I'm totally rooting for Draco to get the girl, lol. I like how you keep him in character, with the Mudblood comments and things like that. I'm surprised Hermione isn't annoyed by that, though. Still, I CAN'T wait for the next chapter, so hurry! =]
Author's Response: Thanks for your comments on Draco. I\'ve been told I have a knack for writing him. =]
I\'ll be updating soon...
