I Loved Him First by Valentinia
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: For Petunia Evans being at Hogwarts is indeed a magical time. Why? Because there, for the first time in her life, she doesn't stand in the shadow of her beautiful sister Lily. That is until she finds herself falling in love with none other than James Potter, Lily's biggest admirer. And this is only the first of the many trials and tribulations Petunia will have to face in a world where peace is a nothing but a memory.
Note: This fic is mostly canon compliant through DH, but has some obvious AU elements, too, though I hope I've explained them all satisfactorily!

Where is she that she can hear Dumbledore and Peter? Intriguing...
Also, I'm impressed that you've shown Peter here at least seeming to fool Dumbledore. So many fics show him as stupid and obvious about his betrayal, but he did manage to fool the Marauders, so he had to have some acting ability.
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad you like this Peter; as I\'ve tried to show, I don\'t think he was an idiot, or completely untalented. I\'m so happy you agree!

This is a really slick chapter. It flows really well, right down to the last sentence (which I love, by the way).
Author's Response: Slick, huh? :D Cool. Thanks for the review!

Amy makes this chapter amazing. I love the circular pattern here - Amy loves Vernon, who loves Petunia, who loves James, who loves Lily - Amy helps make the story deliciously ironic.
Author's Response: I\'m so glad you don\'t think all the romance clashes make this story too... soap-operaish.... Irony is rather important in this fic, so I\'m glad you think Amy adds to that! Thanks for the review!
Date: 11/13/06 Title: Chapter 27: The Final Irony (Epilogue)
I had been wondering if Luisa died, so there you go.
Great job making this story fit with the books. I would like to see Petunia thinking about Lupin. Oh, and I forgot to mention in the last chapter that Amy's calling her 'Tunia was great.
And the ending of this... holy moly. This fanfic has an original plot, well-researched details, and is quite the enjoyable read. Thanks for letting me beta for you!
Author's Response: Thanks!! For all the wonderful beta-ing you\'ve done!! This story is really much better, I think, after your very thourough, well-thought out and extremely helpful reviews! I\'m so glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks again for doing such a great beta-ing job!

I'm feeling a little silly trying to beta this - it's really good. The plot is so original.
The only thing I noticed in this chapter was that the first paragraph says it's been two days since the incident and then Snape says it was yesterday.
I adore the way you've written Remus!!
Author's Response: Thanks for betaing, anyway! :) Also, thanks for pointing that out. I\'ll fix it right away. I\'m glad you like Remus, too! He\'s one of my favorite characters and I was afraid I wasn\'t doing him justice.
Date: 07/27/06 Title: Chapter 4: You Just Want Lily
Oh, poor Petunia! She really does have a self-esteem problem, doesn't she?
Date: 07/24/06 Title: Chapter 1: James
I'm so intrigued by this story! Great job with Petunia's thoughts. There's a couple of nitpicky canon things I noticed. It says Petunia went to the table with red and gold banners, but Hufflepuff's colors are yellow and black. Also, how could she see James and Co. in the common room when they're not in the same house?
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Oh oops, you\'re right. I had her in Gryffindor at first, but then decided to change it. I\'ll fix that up! Thanks!
Bittersweet by Aebhel
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It's funny about wars. They drive people to do things we never would ordinarily--good and bad. Harry and I had only been dating for four months. He loved me--I know that and I knew it then--but if there hadn't been a war, he would have waited. I think he just wanted something to hold onto...for when it was all over.
Ron comes across Ginny's diary, four years after the war has ended.
EDIT: 1000 reads!Date: 07/31/06 Title: Chapter 1: one-shot
If Rowling ended her story this way, I would want to hunt her down. That's quite a testament to your writing. It's a beautifully written, heart-wrenching story. *sniff* I need a tissue. You get like a million stars.
Consequentially Yours by Nyruserra
Rated: Professors •

But with the shadow of Voldemort still hanging over a frightened community, Oliver is about to find out that the consequences of doing the right thing can get very out of hand!
An Oliver Wood/Hermione Granger Romance

I was so happy to see that the wedding was online now! 'Twas brilliant, as I have come to expect from you. This ending was... tantalizing. Can't wait for an update!
Author's Response: High praise indeed! Thank you so much, hon :-)

Yay!! I'm fairly new to your story, but I've fallen in love. I read all of it in one day up until the last chapter - yeah, the uber-cliffhanger. Yay for updates, good writing, and awesome character interactions!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It is a lot all in one sitting - that\'s awesome that I kept you that involved to the very last chapter :-) ~ Ny

Being A Hero by Aebhel
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It's my revenge. My one small revenge for this thing that the wizarding world has made me into. I'll play this part; for all of Dumbledore's prattle about choices, it doesn't look like I've got one. Choices are for people, I guess.
Date: 07/31/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
When I read the summary, I was thinking that Harry's revenge would be, like, fleeing the wizarding world after defeating Voldemort, or something like that. His revenge is awesome - I thought it was hilarious, and very much in tune with Harry's personality.
And I love, love, LOVE the part about Harry's parents being props. That's a perfect metaphor, and your description of that is fantastic.
Brilliant.
Harry Potter and the Revenge of Mary Sue by Hallie Black
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Mary Sue Bloomwood is one of the two famous unidentified Gryffindor girls, who is planning her revenge for having been, along with her best friend, Emma Connors, so plainly ignored by the Wonder Trio for the past six years. But is she really the mind behind all the madness going on at Hogwarts? Laughs are guaranteed!
Date: 07/27/06 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter Three
Mwahaha!!!!!!! I loved it!
Author's Response: Good! I\'m really glad you liked it!
The Moment That Was Not by king
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This story is set in the middle of HBP. It’s a “what if” scenario. I ask the question: What would have happened if Ron had not interrupted a conversation between Harry and Hermione? Throughout HBP, Ron came between Hermione and Harry. I ask you to think about this: If Hermione loved Ron and was jealous of Lavender, why did she have the birds attack Ron? Why didn’t she attack Lavender? Read the reviews for my fict. It's been flammed by a Ron-Hermione fanatic who is unbelievably stupid. This is great fun!
Date: 08/22/06 Title: Chapter 1: There is only one chapter
I'm a R/Hr person. I only bring this up because I think it's a testament to your story that I read and enjoyed this. Excellent, excellent job. I especially enjoyed the ending, where Hermione's just like, oh my gosh you're so oblivious.
Author's Response: Hi ronnyc718! Thanks for the nice review!

The Importance of Being Single by erikthephantom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Fourteen months after leaving Hogwarts, Sirius takes it upon himself as a seasoned veteran of love to educate a "naïve" Remus on the dark, inner workings of the female mind when the former receives a letter from a girlfriend demanding his time. Pointless, yes, but Erik enjoys procrastinating.

Mwahaha! Loved it.
Conceit & Contempt by callmehermione
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Draco is drawn to Ginny by an outstanding characteristic. She won't talk to him; his past behaviour is too much for her to accept all at once. She has two accusations. Draco has an explanation for each. What will Ginny decide? Dedicated to the Pride & Prejudice and D/G lovers.
Date: 08/20/06 Title: Chapter 1: Explanation
I loved this fic! I think somebody said this already, but I love the part where Draco is talking about not writing a letter "partly because I’m not quite sure where my Malfoy wax seal has gone. The last time I saw it was when–never mind."
I lauged out loud! Great job.
