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!!!!
Good chapter. Harry and Ginny in Paris, how romantic. Well, it would be if they were together, but they are not. . . yet. Please make it soon! And where is the letter??
I just finished rereading this story and its even better the second time around. Update as soon as you can please. :)

P.S. Hope your feeling better.
Yay! A new chapter! I hope the mods approve it soon!
I admit it. I am jealous. Your story has over 1000 reviews, mine has thirteen. You can write long stories that are so wonderful, the readers are continuously begging for updates, and I can write a poem. Yes, I can come up with a rhyme for almost any word, but my rhyming ability is not as good as your writing ability. I wish I could write a story that would have people begging for more and checking for updates daily, but I'm a poetry girl. I just write poetry. So, while I wait for JKR's next book, I read your stories because they are just as entertaining. I love this story. It is my favorite of all favorite stories. I can't wait to read the next chapter and I will also admit that I do check for updates daily. You have a wonderful ability to write prose and I am definitely jealous. Now, I think I will reread this story . . . again.
Please fix the comma problems,
Because I really want to read,
The rest of the story,
Pleas quickly proofread.
(See I can do poetry, even if that wasn't very good). Please update soon!

Author's Response: if it helps i am absolutly useless when it comes to writing poetry or music...I try to write a song and even i laugh at how bad it is....also trust me it took a while to get this following....I used to be excited if i got more than 5 reviews a chapter...i am just as if not more surprised by all this outpouring of love than anyone else....i dont even know the words to express how grateful i am to all of you.... you guys are wonderful...
Wonderful chapter full of lovely fluff! Fluff or angst...hmmm. It's so hard to choose. More angst I think. I can live with just two chapters of fluff and when there’s angst, I know there is fluff to look forward to. Update again soon please!

Finally!! Harry and Ginny are finally a couple and we get to read the letter!! Yay!!! This made my day. I loved that you put Seraphim and Mauricio in there. Great chapter and very well written!! Right now I'm so happy with you, I probably wouldn't mind if you took a while to update again, but please don't. I love this chapter and this story!!
Author's Response: yeah well it actually might be a little bit longer for an update on this one while i work on some of my other storys but i promise it wont be an overly long wait....
Your story made me cry! But I loved it anyway!
Author's Response: Awww! *hands a tissue* I\'m sorry...but it\'s still really encouraging to hear that you loved it. Whoops. Thanks so much for the review!
This is a great story. I love it. Please update soon! Oh, are we ever going to find out what was going on with the interference in the Quidditch matches that caused the season to be canceled??
Great story! Please update soon!
Moonymaniac,
I've just finished reading this story, and it is wonderful! I love your portrayal of Remus and Lindi is one of the best OC's I've seen in a while. I agree with you about Remus's lycanthropy being an enormous secret. It doesn't seem like telling someone about it would be a decision made lightly and it seems fitting that he would spend a whole chapter trying to figure it out. Lycanthropy is a complicated problem. I loved that adventure into the Forbidden Forest back in chapter twenty . . . two was it? I believe that was the chapter it began in. Anyway, Woodyashaga is a very entertaining game and a very creative way of having the marauders discovering Lindi’s opinions on werewolves.
I also like the way you’ve shown Remus’s relationships with his mum and dad. I think they’ve handled Remus’s “furry little problem” remarkably well and like that it has brought them closer as a family rather than pulled them a part. You have also done a marvelous job of showing how Remus’s lycanthropy affects pretty much everything he does. The poor guy doesn’t deserve to have every little decision made so much more . . . well, not important, but . . . well, yes important . . . um . . . I think influential might be the word I’m looking for? I don’t know. Anyway, the point is, well, I’ve completely forgotten the point. Sigh.
My friend (who has also read the story, but doesn’t have an account on MNFF) has asked me to add that she thinks the whole thing is very spiffy. Believe you me, coming from her, that’s quite a compliment. She usually reserves the word “spiffy” for salsa (something she loves dearly and eats way to much of). And I have had a pillow thrown at me for that last comment.
Before this review gets any longer, I’ll end it with this: I absolutely love this story and I am looking forward to reading the what happens next. Please try not to keep me in suspense for too long!
Tootles!

Author's Response: Aw, thank you KitKat! I\'m really happy to hear you are enjoying the story. And I\'m pretty sure woodyashaga was in 22. LOL I\'d have to go back to check, myself. Anyway, I\'m glad you enjoyed that and thank you for the wonderful compliment on Lindi, and Remus\' relationship with his mum and dad. *waves at KitKat\'s friend* Spiffy! LOL I love it and am very flattered to have the story in the same company with salsa! I love the stuff too. I wish there was some way to make the chips less fattening since the salsa is actually pretty good for you. Unfortunately, I just can\'t eat it with a spoon. It needs chips! Anyway, I\'m really glad you and your friend are enjoying the story. Thank you for the wonderful review. :)
Both of these poems were very good, although I prefered the second one. The repetition used in "In Silence" was very effective.
CHAPTER 14 IS UP! CHAPTER 15 IS IN QUEUE!
I love this story! Update soon!
Author's Response: I\'m working on the next chapter!! I hope to submit before the end of the week!
That was so funny!! *takes deep breath to stop laughing* I loved it!
Author's Response: lol, im glad =)
This was very funny!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you approve!
*catches breath from laughing*
I love it! More?
~KitKat
Author's Response: I promise to try. I\'m having a very very bad day though... *sigh*. But thank you for reviewing!
This story is so funny!! I'm half asleep right now (I have been chasing my little cousins around the house all day and had to say the words "NO! Don't put that in your mouth!" quite a few times, so I'm exausted at the moment) and you still made me laugh. It's hard to make me say anything other than hmm when I'm tired, so making me laugh is an accomplishment you should be proud of. Anywayz, great chapter, update again soon. (and I happen to like the "Reviewer's Rap")
Author's Response: Aren\'t little kids hilarious? I have four younger siblings. I can sympathize with the whole, \"No! Don\'t put that in your mouth!\" and running around thing.
I\'m glad I made you laugh whileyou were exhausted. Me, I laugh more easily when I\'m exhausted, because half of the words don\'t register and I just start laughing insanely. But that\'s me... and I am NOT normal!
That was great. I was never that into shipping, but I was slightly dissapointed. If I can forgive JKR for killing Sirius (which took a while. How dare she kill off my favorite character!), I can live with R/Hr. And I rather like H/G anyway. Very funny.
~KitKat
That is the best Remus/Tonks story I've read. Good job!
That made me laugh! I especially liked the beginning part with madame Pince complaining about writing in books. Ha ha! That really brightned my day!
Author's Response: I believe I got that idea from Quidditch Through the Ages where Dumbledore warns against writing in the books. I\'m so glad that you enjoyed it!
Lupin has always been my favorite maurderer. This is a god story and I think it realistically portrays Remus Lupin's emotions. Great job.
Author's Response: (: After JKR decided to be cold hearted and kill Sirius (lol, jk), my next favorite marauder was Remus. His character is just so deep, and I thought I\'d give it a shot here. Glad you think I did alright! Thank you.
