Hello! Catherine here. I live in Louisiana, so feel free to imagine the rest of this in a Southern accent.
Now, it's time for some confessions:
1- My obsession with chocolate is about a trillion times greater than that of my obsession with HP. I don't think a could survive without it.
2- I'm in love with Remus Lupin I love pretty much any and all stories involving Remus Lupin. He is wonderful.
3- I have a thing for lists. I make lists of anything and everything
4- Remus/Tonks is my OTP. They are the perfect couple! Isn't it wonderful how Tonks is willing to look past the lycanthropy? *girlish sigh*
5- I have written quite a bit of HP poetry, a lot of which is posted on her. Most of it is bad. However, I've been told that "Voldemort's Day Off is rather funny and "Just Harry" isn't completely horrible. I recommend avoiding the others.
6- I am also obsessed with Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Jacob Black anyone? Or how about some Edward/Bella?
7- I write quite a bit of original fiction which is posted on The Red Chair.
8- I dislike odd numbers.
All right. That’s enough confession for one day. After all, I don’t know you people very well. Oh, you’d like some other general information?
Well, I have this very nice banner that babykitty92 made me because she is awesome and I asked her to:
Um. . . I’m 18. Is that interesting? No, I guess not. Well, I’m a proud Hufflepuff. GO BADGERS!
Um . . . read my stories . . . HUFFLEPUFF!!!!
Very good. Wonderful imagery. I really liked "The water surprisingly/calm and placid, as though no/ creature dare disturb the surface." It describes the surface of the lake well. Again, wonderful imagery. I loved the last stanza to.
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I\'m glad you enjoyed the imagery. That is what this poem really focuses around. That is one of my favorite stanzas, like all the creatures are either scared or dead. Thanks for reviewing!
Very good, but I still think Snape is evil.
Author's Response: Yeah, he probably is but what if he weren\'t?
capella_black,
Great story! I enjoyed reading it and I have a few things to say.
Thing numbeer 1: I like the idea of Sirius questioning Lily on James's behalf. It seem like something he would do.
Thing number 2: I also like Roger, although I thought it was kind of rude of him to ditch Lily when he saw his friend. It was very abrupt.
Thing number 3: I would like to see more about Lily 's friends. What are they like? Will she tell them about her little crush on Roger?
And finally, Thing number 4: Poor James! The love of his life is on a date with another man, well. . .sort of.
Again, great story. Oh, and update soon please!
~KitKat
Author's Response: 1. Sirius is a good friend. And he think anybody but James is a lowlife idiot who doesn\'t deserve Miss Evans.
2. Yeah, what was up with that??
3. They\'ll find out at some point. I\'ve sort of been sacrificing their character development to spend more time on the Marauders though, as you\'ll see in upcoming chapters.
4. It\'s rough on him, but he\'s gotta deflate his head a bit before he has a chance.
Thanks for reviewing!! I\'ll try to get the next chapter up tonight. It\'s \"Snape\'s Worst Memory\" hehehe...
Hi! Me again. I forgot to mention that I loved Lily's dream in the first chapter and the prank on Snape was very funny too. Bye again!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thanks again! I\'m glad you liked the dream, I was worried it would be too confusing. =)
Awww. . .this was very cute! I loved it!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thanks!
Very good and very sad. I don't think Harry will survive either. Although, I am depressed by that conclusion and hope that I am wrong.
~KitKat
Author's Response: Yeah...
for that would be bad, b) I just heard my mom tell the person she is talking to on the phone that I am doing my homework and I don't wish to make a liar out of her, and c) my sister is doing her homework and I refuse to let her show me up by being a better student. Therefore (doesn’t that word make this sound so much smarter?), I will finish this quickly. I love this story so far and am looking forward to reading the next chapter almost as much as I am looking forward to the day when my teachers will say, "I don't think you should have any homework tonight because you deserve a night off.” (This will probably never happen, unlike the next chapter). Oh, right, I'm supposed to be finishing quickly so, great story, great chapter, keep up the good work, people really do use the words good and great too much in reviews (at least in my opinion), and teachers are evil and give too much homework.
~KitKat
P.S. Sorry to complain about my homework in your review. I promise not to do it again. I love this story. Okay, I’m going to make myself stop now. GET AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER SELF!
Author's Response: Lol!! I know how you feel... I just joined the procrastinators club on the forum... :D And yes, teachers are evil!! Thanks for the review, though! I\'m glad you like the story so far!
Ahh! No! The first line of my review dissapeared! Where did it go!?Oh well. Here is what it said:
Very funny! I love it. Now I must go do homework because a) I don't want to fail school
Just put that at the top of what's under this. Sorry. Bye again.
~KitKat
Author's Response: :) I did wonder about that line... Oh well... Thanks for the review!
This is so, so funny. I love it! I feel sorry for Owen Hargreaves. The notice from the Berlin newspaper was really good, too! You did a good job of writing Fleur, too. I find that some author's don't do the accent well, but you did a good job.
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thanks for your review! I\'m glad you enjoyed the story. You have to thank my beta for the idea with Fleur\'s accent - my opinion was that after being married to Bill for such a long time, she\'d lose it. Though, as you\'ve seen, my beta convinced me to put it in ;-)
Ha ha ha ha ha *takes deep breath* Okay. I am calm enough to review now. I loved this. It is the first wonderful chapter of which I am sure will be a lovely story. I can't wait to read chapter two. Keep up the good work!!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Yay!
There is nothing warmer or fuzzier than knowing I have made someone smile.
O_O
Yeah, soft romance story, odd mood. Thank you so much for your review - the second chapter\'s actually already been submitted.
<3
Very funny. You mad me smile again, despite the huge amount of homework that awaits me in the misleadingly innocent looking book bag in the corner of the room. Anyway, I laughed aloud at the bird, plane, superman part and my sister looked at me funny, again. She probably thinks I'm in insane. Oh well. Maybe that will make her afraid to bother me. Probably not. So, back to reviewing your story, congratulations on writing another great chapter. I can't wait to read chapter 3!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Well, despite the imminent threat of homework, lurking, I\'m grateful that you slipped a review in first. ^^ I can\'t wait to /post/ chapter three, either - I\'m insanely excited about what is to come. Yup, so cheers again, and good luck with the homework!
Very good. I saw that the first chapter is waiting on the mods approval and I am looking forward to reading it. I checked the HP Lexicon and Ginny's eyes are brown not blue so you might want to go back and change that. Despite that, I enjoyed reading the prologue and am patiently waiting for chapter one to be approved. Keep up the good work!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thank you!
Author's Response: Oh, and I\'m changing the eye color! Hope you like #2!
I really like this story. I was not expecting the bucket over the door trick. It surprised me just as much as it did Lily. I liked the first chapter too. Doing magic in front of a muggle seems like it could very well be one of the many idiotic things James Potter most likely did. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!
~KitKat
Author's Response: I\'m so glad you liked it! I wasn\'t sure how the bucket trick would be accepted by readers, because it\'s a little amatuerish, but I figured it\'s only their first year, y\'know, so they couldn\'t have been prank masters yet. :)
Very good. I have a short attention span today (well, shorter than usual), and have been trying to find something that held my attention. I found it. I love having the Sorting Hat as the narrator. I didn't expect that and I've never read a story written from that point of view. I like the way it's written, how the Sorting Hat is responds to someone else's comments. Wonderful!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad I kept you interested... I\'ve had those days. Much appreciated!
~Juli
I loved it! The scene in the paint store was cute. The detail in the scene was great. I wonder who comes up with all the strange names for paint colors (like "straw", my mother spent two weeks trying to convince me to paint my room "straw"). I really like the way all of the chapter titles have an aunt or uncle's name in them. Is Harry ever going to return? He better come back and make everything right. I cannot wait to read what happens next! Tootles!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thank you for such a wonderful review! Yeah, when picking out paint for my sister\'s apartment there was no \'peach\' or \'blue\' but all sorts of funny names, so I thought I\'d put a few of them in the story. . . .
J'adore cette histoire! That's French for I love this story (or something like that, I haven't taken a French class in almost a year). Yay! They know that Harry is alive! Now he needs to come back and fix everything. I liked seeing the memories. That was fun. I am very much looking forward to reading the next chapter. Hopefully, you tell us more about what happened before Harry pretended to be dead *hint, hint*, and hopefully you'll update soon *re-hint, hint* Tootles!
~KitKat
Author's Response: I\'m glad you love the story enough to say so in multiple languages! I love writing the memories so it makes my day to know you enjoy reading them as well. Thanks for the review!
I loved it. I couldn't stop smiling when Harry was hugging all of his children and everyone was so happy they were crying. It was such a great scene and I'm so glad Harry is back. Now they just have to kick Dick out and, well, figure everything else out. Oh, have I ever mentioned that I love how you're writing from Harry's daughter's point of view? Because I do. I'm sure this will get me through the holidays. It's a great chapter so I'll be happy to re-read it a few times.
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thank you for such a wonderful review! I think making it from Lily\'s POV adds a fresh perspective to the Harry Potter universe. It\'s still about Harry/Ginny, but not as told by them. I\'m glad you liked this chapter, have a happy Christmas!
MagEd:
This chapter was definitely worth the wait! I love seeing Harry beat up Dick! My favorite line:
But Dad defeated Lord Voldemort – he was supposed to have some backbone!
That made me chuckle. I can’t wait to read the next chapter!
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thanks, I\'m glad it was worth the wait! Yeah, I thought that line was pretty funny too, (Granted, I did write it, so I\'m a wee bit biased!)
Evil cliffhanger. Well, at least Harry's back. Now he can get Dick to leave and get Ginny and the rest of the Weasleys to forgive him and all will be well. Hopefully. Luna is so different! I like that the characters have all changed over the years and that you pointed out those changes. I knew Harry was the stag! Um . . . I wanted to say something else, but I don't remember what it was. Oh well. Tootles!
~KitKat
Author's Response: I know, I know, I really should try and avoid those evil cliffhangers -- I just love them so much! It\'s addicting, I tell you! But what\'s this about the Weasleys forgiving Harry? What about Harry forgiving Ginny. . . . And don\'t worry, I too often forget things. Perfectly healthy I tell you. What were we talking about?
Oh, it is just wonderful. I cried. My mascara is all over my face now. This story is touching. I love it.
~KitKat
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Catherine. Sorry about the mascara, but I\'m really happy that it moved you; that\'s what I strive for. ~Ken
