Alias: leighpotter
Country: Hmm...depends what time of year you ask. I guess in essentials I'm from Greece but I've lived half my life in England and I've spoken english since I've been talking in greek...
Reason for being on Mugglenet: Well, if you're reading this to find out the answer maybe you should go on on another site *grins* but I started by reading fanfictions and then started writing my own. A lot of my own...
Favourite Books: Can anyone say Harry Potter? Out of those (brilliant, great, spectacular, incredible) books, my favourites would have to be Prisoner of Azkaban and Deathly Hallows. Other than HP, The Host By Stephenie Meyer (another example of he mediocre writing style but more enjoyable than Twilight - though it dragged on a bit!), Wicked Lovely By Melissa Marr, Atonement By Ian McEwan, Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen, Emma By Jane Austen, The Artemis Fowl Series Ny Eoin Colfer, His Dark Materials (Northerns Lights, Subtle Knife, Amber Spyglass) By Philip Pullman, The Sally Lockhart Series By Philip Pullman, The Gemma Doyle Trilogy (A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, The Sweet Far Thing) By Libba Bray, The Alex Rider Books ByAnthony Horowitz,The Bartimaeus Trilogy By Jonathan Stroud...I think this list could go on for a while...I'll continue when I've had a look through my rather large collection...I recommend every one of them. If you'd like a detailed review of each one I'm sure you'd be reading for a while. By all means, don't hesitate to ask! You may have noticed a certain fondness for trilogies, series, sagas...What can I say? I have a difficulty believing a hero's story finishes in only one book...(One of the reasons I love Harry Potter - there's seven of them!)

Why Hermione Is Different Than All The Other Girls by GwendolynJames
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: If Hermione hadn't met the boys on the train that first day, things would most certainly be different. Featuring Metro!Ron, Loser!Harry, Stalker!Hermione, and Smoker!Ginny.
Date: 04/06/08 Title: Chapter 1: Why Hermione Is Different Than All The Other Girls
I love this - it's so ridiculously funny! Favourite line "Hello, ego. How are you today?" Brilliant! I think I've heard it before - or perhaps someone's told me the same thing! But, anyway, great story!
Summer at Grimmauld Place by the_bartender713
Rated: Professors •Summary: A continuation of "The Mystery Letter", Harry's summer presses forward with a few more surprise guests (although some unwanted), and his relationship with Ginny begins to grow. Rated "R" for later chapters, but it's all innocent at the beginning... haha, famous last words.
I can't stress enough that you might want to read "The Mystery Letter" before continuing on to this fic. You should be able to follow without it- but it will certainly clear up some things in the process. Thanks for reading!!
Date: 07/21/06 Title: Chapter 15: Intuitive Actions and Innocent Alcoves
So, just finished reading this story and got to say it's a pretty interesting plot, though what i liked best was the humor-not many fics are funny like that.
oh, and one last thing-the only bit that really annoyed me was how ron and harry kept calling H-e-r-m-i-o-n-e 'mione!
but i guess-just someting else that's original in the story!
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! THe rest of the series in on the site, I\'d love to hear your thoughts on it.
Honestly, I think the reason half the authors call her \'Mione is because it\'s faster to type than Hermione. :-)
Plugs and Outlets by Alphie
Rated: •Summary: Mr. Weasley has a talk with Ron about his developing relationship with Hermione.
Date: 03/12/08 Title: Chapter 1: Plugs and Outlets
one word...hilarious...a few more words - i loved it!!!
Missing Scenes by MoonysMistress
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: In every story, there are missing scenes: smaller stories that don't make it into the main plot, but that subconsciously happen all the same. Harry Potter is no different — behind the scenes were the makings of a love that surprised us all.
Date: 07/22/06 Title: Chapter 8: Bonus Epilogue!: Bill and Fleur's Wedding
just read this story-are you sure you're not in any way related to J.K.Rowling?
i felt i was reading her books!
do another story like that-it was really good-actually GREAT!!!
Let The Wind Shatter by LillysOfTheValley
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It is nearing the time of the Final Battle, both the side of Dark and the side of Light are preparing for it...
Yet strange occurences in the Dark Lord's lair come about when the punshment of a blundering Death Eater goes terribly wrong.
Read this fic, picking up where HBP left off, to find what happens when a Follower of The Dark strays into a place of Unwavering Light...
Date: 08/10/06 Title: Chapter 6:
well what more could a girl ask for? i'm happy to say that i enjoyed every bit of malfoy's torture- every single bit! and even though ron's a bit of an idiot on this fic you've gotta love him!
PS: check mout my own story- i'd love to see what you think! (thrice defied James/lily)! please update soon!
Author's Response: Your welcome hey it\'s what i\'m campaigning for! hermione\'s got SPEW and my motto is FOR the READER BY the ermmm. author....and free cookies for everyone! YAY! Ron\'s always been a bit of an idiot concerning Malfoy so he\'ll be a bit of an idiot in this fic! LOL! and And yes I DO love him...soo much...and YES I WILL BE AT THE RON AND HERM WEASELY WEDDING! yay! but Dramione is cool too....=P ha ha lol! No I\'m just kidding I love writing this fic! I will DEFINITELY check out your story!
Date: 07/26/06 Title: Chapter 5:
this is a great fanfic! although i honestly can't imagine how it's going to end with Her/Dr getting together- she hates him more than ron does(actually no she doesn't but you know what i mean!)
update soon-and do you think you can leave ron and draco on their own for a while? i seriously think he'll have more pressing problems than voldemort!
Author's Response: Well if it was canon and all that stuff it would definitely be a RHr fic, but since I like to have at least SOME ownership on what I\'m writing I chose DM/HG...ya know? BTW I AM A TOTAL Heron/ Sidekick lol! Yah I probably WILL place those two together......I might call the chapter MURDER IN THE MADHOUSE ...lol
Journey On Water by SK witch
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: After the downfall of Voldemort, Hermione decides to take a break and return to the Muggle world.

Fights and bickering continue to take place between them and maybe a little something else too...

Date: 08/24/07 Title: Chapter 21: Hermione's Red Rose
Fantabulous as you say in your bio!
I was never really into the whole Hermione/Draco ship but this story is wicked-it's funny and not too romantic (or at least not the kind of romantic that makes you gag!) and I've completely fallen for Draco in this. Sorry, I haven't reviewed before but I had to read all 21 chapters in one go! Keep going like this - unlike other Her/Draco fics I can really believe this one! Great Job!
Author's Response: Hahaha..thanks! I was so excited after hearing \'fantabulous\' that i just had to use it somewhere *giggle*
I was never much a dramione fan either, but after reading one (the first one was The Unseemly Proposal) i was completely hooked! So many possibilities between these two that I just had to write one myself lol..! Aw, it\'s grea to know you\'re enjoying the story - it doesn\'t matter if you haven\'t reviewed before..one\'s perfectly aweomse =D Thank you SO much for your review!
Deceptive Appearances by JessicaH
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Historic AU, set a few years before the American civil war
Charles Weasley is a man with many talents and one that could easily find a wife far more beautiful than Miss Granger. Yet she is the one he wants, the only question is – does she want him?
Date: 08/15/06 Title: Chapter 10: Confrontation
i loved this story to bits! the whole idea of setting at that time was great and evem though i've never read a her/charlie ship before i'm going to! i loved it really! and you made it so believable! i've read books set in that time and you've done it perfectly! you'll have to do a sequel! and i promise to review every chapter!
pleeeeeeeeeeease don't leave us without one! i can't wait to find out what's going to happen to Charles and Hermione Weasley! and maybe we can meet Mr Potter and Mr Ronald Weasley!
Author's Response: I\'m so glad you liked it, and thrilled that you enjoyed the pairing as well. I used to be a strict Ron/Hermione girl, but now I love all Hermione/Weasley pairings *lol* As for a sequel, there won\'t be one. If I ever expand on this story, it will be in the form of an original book.

Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: [WIP] Post-HBP. Eleven years after the end of the war, Hermione finds herself in a delicate situation when her only son leaves for Hogwarts and threatens her most guarded secret: that he’s not only a Granger, but also a Snape! SS/HG.

Author's Response: I\'m glad you\'re enjoying the longer chapters. They get even longer from now on.
English is a hobby for me. My mother language is Portuguese. I\'d love to learn Greek some day. :0)

You Do Approve, Don't You? by Galadriel8891
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A HBP missing moment. What exactly went through Ron’s head as he watched the Harry and Ginny’s newfound relationship come into full bloom before his eyes?
Date: 07/22/06 Title: Chapter 1: You Do Approve, Don't You?
very realistic! it sounds just like ron!
but i'd like to have seen more of cho's and maybe even romilda's reaction!
otherwise, it was a good laugh!!!!!!!!!!

Winner of the June/July monthly challenge, #1: autobiography, and overall winner. By coppercurls of Hufflepuff house.
Date: 11/13/07 Title: Chapter 1: The Portrait Painter
This is possibly the best story I've read on Mugglenet and I'm feeling so ashamed that I read it only because it was a winner of the Quicksilver Quill awards! Really, it was a great story, with a brilliant main character and amazing description. I particularly liked the way you described how wizarding paintings are given life - I think that was probably my favourite part!
Great job! This'll definitely go to my favourites!
Author's Response: Thank you very much for all your kind words, I\'m flattered. I really enjoyed creating the characters of Phillip and Helen, they just seemed right to me, and I spent a lot of time thinking about them. I\'m glad to know that all came out in my writing! Thanks again, and I\'m really glad you enjoyed the piece.
Keep Living by RupertsPheonix
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Keep Living. Sounds easy, right? Well, for George Weasley, it's not that simple. Not when he's lost his best friend, business partner, and twin brother. Can an old friend help him Keep Living?
Rated Mature for Violence, Character Death, and a bit of harsh Language!!
Completed when the third installment is submitted and accepted.
Date: 08/31/07 Title: Chapter 3: A Conversation and a Promise
After finishing Deathly Hallows (for about the twentieth time) and trying very hard to forget my favourite characters are dead, this story comes to remind me! But I've got to say it's really good-if I had to imagine what George was feeling it would be like this! Great Job (though very sad!*sniffs*)
Author's Response: Thank you!! I actually wrote this pre-DH. lol. Thanks for the nice review! =) --RP/Kate
Wednesday Dates by belladonna_tb
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Whoever knew that a couple still went on "dates" after they were married?
:::old H/G:::
Runner-Up in the Best Canon Romance category of the 2007 Quicksilver Quill Awards
For those interested, I'm planning on writing a Prequel to this story. Just thought I'd let everyone know.
Date: 03/10/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
That was...ah...I don't know...! Literally, I have tears welling up in my eyes - the only fic that's ever brought me to this state...When I saw the bold writing "Ginevra Molly Weasley" I was like "No, no, no, it does not mean that - Ginny is NOT dead!" But she was!!! Really touching - but I loved it!
Potter's Pentagon: The Five (Book One) by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: WARNING! This story contains a jingle-bell antler headband, a shower of potatoes, boy/girl mushiness, underwear karaoke, family trouble, an excessively adorable werewolf, death, the song "Werewolves of London," betrayal, and the word 'Jordan' five times in a row near the beginning of chapter seven.
Twenty-one years after Voldemort's defeat, five fourth-years are faced with a new threat. Will all of the five stay true to the light side? Will they all emerge whole in the end? Will Jordan Potter ever get a life? You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp, you'll sigh! Part one in a trilogy!
Well, after much deliberation and consideration, I've decided to submit my future-gen trilogy! This particular installment is three years old, so it's definitely different from my current writing style, but I'm quite fond of the characters.
DH is disregarded. It's a total coincidence that one of the main characters is named Ted Lupin.
Starring Quicksilver Quills 2008 Best Male Original Character runner-up Jordan Potter, Best Female Original Character nominees Ivy Potter, Haley Potter, and Emma Weasley, and Best Male Original Character nominee Ted Lupin!
Five times nominated (once for each member of Potter's Pentagon!) for the Best Post-Hogwarts story in the 2007 Quicksilver Quills Awards, and nominated for Best Post-Hogwarts story in the 2008 Quicksilver Quill Awards...
Date: 08/29/07 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: In Which Ted Has Quite A Bad Hair Day
Hi! First review of this fic which I really really enjoyed reading! Emma and Ted are my favourite characters-you've described them really well and I can't wait for Emma to attack Tyrone again!
Loved it and can't wait for next chapter to be accepted!
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! As for Emma attacking Tyrone... well, I can\'t promise it\'ll happen in THIS story, but it is part of a trilogy!
Weasley & Weasley (Deceased) by LuckyRatTail
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
MAJOR SPOILERS A post-DH Fred and George fic.
It's been one year since the war ended and Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes is still going strong. That is, until Angelina shows up with news that her new boss is being blackmailed. Next thing, a mysterious package arrives on the doorstep, there's a spate of inexplicable burglaries in Diagon Alley, and an old friend appears to have come back from the dead…
Date: 02/22/08 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter Eight
Intriguing and sad...but I'm so glad George gets another chance with Fred! Also the whole murder/mystery thing is brilliant - I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you ;o)
Unrequited by R_Ravenclaw
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Everyone assumes Sirius Black has never truly cared for a girl. They're wrong. It's just that he can't do anything about it.
Sirius/Lily? Read to find out.
Date: 02/22/08 Title: Chapter 7: Burn
Grrrr....Sirius and Lily!!!!! Well, I have to admit I'm a strong James/Lily shipper - I love writing fanfics about them - but I have to say the idea of Sirius maybe liking Lily a little more than he let on had occured to me...and you've just made it really believable! I like how Sirius has all these little internal conversations - very funny - especially when he's feeling jealous! Just one question - in the prologue you start with Sirius's seventh year right? Will you return to that at some point or will it just go through the summer and sixth year???
Author's Response: It will go past that point, up to seventh year and perhaps farther… I wish I could tell you more, but it would give away the ending! The next chapter is finally written and with my beta, so hopefully it will be up fairly soon (providing our lovely mods get the site fixed properly). Thanks for the review!
A Little More Time by Pallas
Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Summary: Was it possible to save two lives in the past without altering history? Was it possible to give his parents a future twenty years after they had supposedly died? Teddy Lupin thought so...
Date: 04/25/08 Title: Chapter 23: Out of Time
I adore this story and I love the way you've dealt with Teddy, he's just the right amount of Remus mixed with Tonks! As for this chapter, I'll admit it, I was holding my breath as I read the verdict...Well done for a brilliant story and I can't wait for more - It's gripping...!
Werewolf Among Wizards by shewolf2000
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Glimpses into Remus Lupin's life at Hogwarts, all trying to answer the question: Is Remus a normal wizard who just has a “furry little problemâ€, or is he a werewolf among wizards, trying to fit in where he may never truly belong?
Now with more Snape down the Whomping Willow! Check out Chapter 10: A Highly Amusing Joke and Chapter 11: Skyfall
Date: 05/07/08 Title: Chapter 2: Stupid Ideas
This was possibly the funniest thing I have ever read on Mugglenet. You've made Sirius the hilarious character I've always pictured him to be! My favourite part (if I really had to pick) would be the vampire conversation - I think I may have fractured a rib laughing!!!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
