Hi, I'm Valentinia, your typical Harry Potter obsessed teen.
I've read the HP books so many times that I've lost count, but I'm guessing most of you on MNFF have done the same!
Otherwise, I'm pretty boring.
My favorite band is Evanescence.
My favorite HP characters are Luna "Loony" Lovegood and Petunia Dursley.
My favorite HP book is PoA.
My favorite HP chapter is "Career Advice" from OotP.
My favorite HP film is probably OotP.
My favorite HP actor is Evanna Lynch. There're a lot of great ones though!
I'm an all-out Ron/Hermione, Luna/Harry and Ginny/Neville shipper. *Sigh*. I know, I know, Canon just sort of ruined those last two. Still, Harry/Ginny was okay. I guess.
I also love stories about Parvati, Padma and Lavender, because I think they deserve some character and depth and they're often deprived of it and made into girly non-humans.
And here some cool things from other people's profiles:
Weird is good, strange is bad, and odd is when you don't know which to call someone. Weird is the same as different, which is the same as unique,so weird is good. If you are weird and proud of it, copy this onto your profile!
92 percent of American teens would die if Abercombie and Fitch told them it was uncool to breathe. Copy this in your profile if you would be the 8 percent that would be laughing your head off.
If you're one of those people who get excited when you see just two reviews, paste this into your profile.
If you've been on the computer for hours on end, reading numerous fanfictions, copy this into your profile
If you don't watch Laguna Beach or the O.C. or The Hills religiously, never have, never will, and are proud of it, copy and paste this into your profile.
You know you live in 2007 when...
1. You go to a party, sit down and take MySpace pics.
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don't have AIM/LiveJournal/MySpace.
4. You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the button on the TV.
6. Your evening activity is sitting at the computer.
7. You read this list, and keep nodding and smiling.
8. You think about how stupid you are for reading this.
9. You were too busy to notice number five.
10. You actually scrolled back up to check if there was a number five.
11. And now you're laughing at your stupidity.
12. Put this in your pro if you fell for it. You know you did.
Ninety-five percent of teenagers are concerned about being popular. If you are one of the five percent who aren't, copy this, put it in your profile, and add your name to the list: Queen S of Randomness 016, Queen B of Randomness 016, AnimieKittyCaffe, The Gypsy Pirate Queen, That Bloody Demon, The Astrology Nerd, Shadow929, Crazy Billie Joe Loving Freak, Yavie Aelienel, Hyperactively Bored, Spymaster E, Shanny-Boo, Gem W, Brown-eyed angelofmusic, piratesswriter/fairy to be, Bara-Minomoto, Em Quagmire, Buffy The Mary-Sue Slayer, Random Little Writer, SamanthaFantasyFan, EdwardAddict, Supergirrl, Elemental-ANimal, Mother Nature's Daughter, Schmerg_The_Impaler, Carmona, Hanabi, Valentinia

Difficult by orange_balloon
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: After the war, things are difficult for Harry. He has removed himself to a quiet corner of New England with Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. All four of them struggle to get through their first Christmas season together while missing so many of their family members and friends.
Date: 06/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: Difficult ~ one-shot
very good! since the HP books probably will only cover the final battle, and maybe a little bit afterwards, it's always really interesting to read stories about the time after the war, and this one is an especially good job!
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'ve always liked the idea of exploring what could happen to the Trio after the war. I\'m glad you enjoyed this little taste of what their lives could be like.
Your Destiny Lies Before You by SomberBallad
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Narcissa doubts whether she will ever amount to anything in a life when everything is dictated for her, her classes, her friends, and even her husband.
(A Narcissa character story and a Lucius/Narcissa beginning.)
Date: 04/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Your Destiny Lies Before You
It's really amazing how you maintain the bittersweet tone and ideas throughout this entire fic; no one ever really knowing, as you say at the end, what's real and what's fake. A brilliant job! Your characterization of Naricssa is great, too, how you don't turn her into a "blood traitor" but you do have her question things. Absolutely great!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! It makes my heart happy to know I didn\'t mess up poor Narcissa more than she already is! Thanks for taking time to review!
Shelter from the Storm by joanna
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: This was my submission to the Winter Snow Challenge. Ginny is waiting in St. Mungo's, for Harry, Ron and Charlie are in hospital after the Final Battle with Voldemort. She feels guilty and beyond redemption. Can her brother, Percy change this? Would she be redeemed, would he? Warnings: Character deaths (nothing graphic)
Date: 09/28/06 Title: Chapter 1: -
I like the open end! The reader doesn't know if Harry will wake up or not, because that's not really the point, is it? I like Percy and Ginny's interactions, they seem very natural. I do think Percy is a bit too stubborn to accept the Burrow just like that, though.
Not Another Mary Sue Fic! by Air Elemental
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A Mary Sue Parody fic! Infinity Babe has moved from New York to Hogwarts with her 'oh-so-evil' parents. Can Harry and the gang stop her from warping canon? Not to be taken seriously. Rated PG-13 for a reason. Scriptfic.
Walk Away by Alexarama
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: -=Oneshot=- *+*Song Fiction*+*
Two un-named people, a winter night & a lot of tears. What do you think the story is about? Yes, breaking up. But, it's cute.
Based on the song,
Walk Away by
Franz Ferdinand.
Attention!!! I have made a prequel to this story and it is awaiting validation! It's called Familiar Faces, Unfamiliar Places. Check it out!
Date: 08/14/06 Title: Chapter 1: Walk Away
Okay... don't know why but I thought maybe this could be Remus and Lily! But I like how you don't actually say who the couple is, it really adds to the story! This is quite a cute fic, even though it's about breaking up, like you said in your summary! Also, Walk Away (which I had never heard of before) is a really good song!
Author's Response: Aww, thanks. :D It can be ANYONE you want it to be, it\'s just that I know who it is and you don\'t. Ner ner. lol :D
It's Snowing in London by Susan05
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It's the Christmas holiday for Hermione. She is alone with her parents at their apartment in London, immersed in what she is best in - reading and studying. But then one evening it starts snowing...
Date: 02/17/06 Title: Chapter 1: one-shot
cool story... i'm not sure if the summary is really fitting though... but the story is really good!
Author's Response: Well, yes, I know I'm lousy at writing summaries. I'll see what I can do about it... Thanks for pointing it out.
Hide and Seek by Shaun
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: What happens if Luna sits out in the cold for too long? What happens when Harry's mind is focused only on one thing?
A Tale of Two Matchmakers by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Romance for three couples when Blaise and Luna use Shakespearean styled matchmaking to hook up Ginny and Draco. There's Much Ado about...something!
Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill for Best Romance-Non Canon 2007, 2008, and 2009. In 2010 mods changed the rules (they got tired of the same fics being nominated ^_~) so no more QQ hopes, but that's okay. No proof is needed that Draco/Ginny = love.
* Written before the HBP, this tale presents an alternate sixth year in which Dumbledore lives, Draco is more than a foil to Harry, and Blaise Zabini is a girl. I hope readers who ship Draco/Ginny will enjoy the story which includes dancing with faeries, Celtic and Norse mythology, school holidays in London and Spain, and loads of fantasy and romance. "Is this a kissing book?" (to quote the Princess Bride) Yes, it is. *
(Warnings were added for safety, due to brief allusions in later chapters, not graphic content.)
Date: 03/25/07 Title: Chapter 51: The Long Goodbye Part Two: Blaise and Terry
I LOVE seeing them married! :D They're so sweet. Still in that honeymoon phase, eh? And Romania is cool! So is Charlie, I hope Anika and he work out somehow! :) Also, the reconciliation between Blaise and her father is great! I'm so glad for her! I dread reading more... the end is near... but still, this chapter was brilliant, as usual!
Author's Response: You\'ve read the Snape/Lorelei story, so you know I think the honeymoon phase should never end, lol. Charlie might have the same impish humour and looks as the twins, but I see him as having about as much experience and luck with girls as Ron, heh.
Date: 02/12/07 Title: Chapter 36: Sixteen Candles
Yay! What a sweet chapter! At first... The darn press... they're everywhere! :D
I wonder what Draco has in mind... and I wonder if it has to do with revealing his relationship with Ginny...?
I can't wait to find out! This chapter was wonderful, as usual! Just magnificent!
Off to read that one-shot!
Author's Response: Thank you! :) Draco has in mind a way they can find out what\'s going on in the Headmaster\'s office. He and Ginny will be found out, but not just yet.
Date: 12/18/06 Title: Chapter 22: Christmas Eve
Aww... poor Draco and poor Blaise! I really like how Draco stays IC, though! Even though he's dating Ginny, he still only thinks/says bad things about her family! I hope Ginny tells them soon... I think her parents would take it okay, and even her brothers would get over it eventually...
As for Blaise, poor girl! But I'm glad Terry loves her... and stands up for her! I hope his family can accept her...
And Luna... well, poor girl. She's so confused. I hate to say it, but give up on Harry already! Don't you see how much nicer, and more understanding Wesley is...? :D Great chapter! Can't wait for the next! Hope it comes out before the Christmas break!
Author's Response: Draco dropping the sarcasm and saying \'Gee, I wish they\'d adopt me like Potter\' would be so skin-crawling abomination unto Slytherin, lol, I can\'t even imagine someone wanting to write him like that. Go write Neville! :D The parents won\'t find out soon, because there is so much more sneaking around fun to be had, decisions to me made....and paid for...before the family fun begins! If the next chap doesn\'t post before the break, I\'m sure chaps will continue to post during, sweeping the queue for the new year! ^_^
Date: 03/25/07 Title: Chapter 52: The Long Goodbye Part Three: Draco and Ginny
What a sweet ending. I love how you used the quotes at the beginning and end of this "chapter"! And how you used them throughout the entire story... quotes, references, names (Mary-Kate and Ashley were hilarious, by the way). This story has really been so sweet! All of the romance and love and through it all - amazingly - a plot! :D Everything a good fic needs, and with a brilliant (but IC) twist to all of the characters we know and love (or hate, I suppose, :D). I'm going to miss this story sooooo much! It's great, too, how original this fic is! Brilliant. And all the "side romances" Hook and Trelawney are even cute, :D Let me say, once and for all, that this fic is a masterpiece. And that I miss it already. And that you should definitely write a sequel! :D
Author's Response: Sometimes, words can\'t express what you want to say. Thank you so much! ♥
♥ ♥
Date: 02/03/07 Title: Chapter 33: Holiday in Spain
Nice chapter! I really like how the realtionship between the girls is progressing, too, not just the romantic ones. I hope Blaise will let her friends try to help her get over these things... Poor Draco, having to "play" with Marisol... And poor Blaise...
It's good how not everything in this story is sweet and fluffy, but I do love the cuteness of everything, too! I hope Ginny's family eventually accepts Draco... :D Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: There\'s plenty of romantic fluffy goodness before things go dark next chapter. Ever read Draco at a Muggle theme park? You won\'t in this story, LOL, but two of our couples have a fab time there! ^_~
Date: 02/16/07 Title: Chapter 37: Captain! My Captain!
Aw. What a cute chapter... poor Terry and Blaise! His parents are REALLY overreacting!!! Considering this, how will Ginny and Draco ever dare to come out of the closet? *sigh*
Cool story though! I love Captain Hook already... :D And Colin and Mindy's relationship... throwing the oranges... lol! Great chapter! I can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Terry\'s parents are absolutely overreacting, which has to be third or fourth on the list of classic blunders behind getting involved in a land war in Asia or going up against a Sicilian when death is on the line. :D If you want to read the Colin/Mindy orange throwing scene, let me know and I\'ll send it to you!
(or anyone else that wants it! ^_~)
Date: 11/25/06 Title: Chapter 19: Partings and Other Sweet Sorrows
:D Good chapter! Poor Blaise and Draco, it must be really hard... I mean they basically have only each other... at least at home!
It's great how all this Shakespeare is thrown in, and how it all fits! Otherwise, this chapter was well-written and fun, too! I must admit, I'm beginning to ship Luna/Wesley... I can't belive I just admitted that!
Anyway, great chapter, can't wait for the next!
Author's Response: Thank you! Luna isn\'t the kind of girl to easily transfer her feelings, but since Wesley is a pirate who appreciates treasure that isn\'t easily plundered, (yo-ho-yo-ho! ^_~) I think you\'ll really like the ship by the time it unfurls the Jolly Roger!
Date: 02/10/07 Title: Chapter 34: A Lover's Holiday
Aww... Such a sweet chapter, but with such bitter memories mixed in... I suppose the truth is coming out now though, and I guess it's for the best. I hope it will help Blaise and Draco... I'm sure Terry and Ginny (and Luna and Wesley, of course) will understand!!
Still, I can't wait to find out what happens next!!! In fact, I think I'll go off and read the next chapter now!
Author's Response: Thank you for having faith that all would work out for the best! ^_^
Date: 02/10/07 Title: Chapter 35: On Holiday
I'm glad she's getting to know more about her family... even if it's a bit awkward... but nice... :D I also love how Terry is so supportive! I hope his parents finally accept Blaise! Ginny and Draco were so cute, too. I'm glad they're working past old hurts together... I'm wondering if Wesleya and Luna will be having problems of their own now soon... Hope not! :D Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Blaise will get to hear Enrique\'s side of the story when they return from Spain next chapter...and funny thing you mention Terry\'s parents...they\'ll be in the chapter too! I could say no one will be having troubles in the chapters to come...but they all will!
Date: 11/13/06 Title: Chapter 18: What a Girl Wants
Woohoo!! First reviewer! (I think. Unless someone read faster than I did...)
Anyway... good chapter!! I really like Colin in this fic- a puppy waiting for the chace to hump her leg... LOL! Otherwise the writing was good, too! Nice and fluffy, but with plenty of devious ideas from the teens! I must say I think it's a bit exagerated for Blaise to be that upset about not seeing Terry for two weeks; but if it leads to more fun plans and ideas, I'm all for it!
Author's Response: Yes, you are the first reviewer! I must salaam. *salaams*. Aren\'t teen emotions prone to drama and exaggeration? :D It will lead to so many fun things, I am so pysched it will be Christmas season during their Christmas time. Serendipity!
Date: 01/06/07 Title: Chapter 25: Friends
Lol! Ginny waiting for him with first aid stuff... :D
I really liked this chapter! Blaise on "Bottled Sleep" is... rather scary... It's so sad how depressed she's getting!! I hope Draco's right and he's brought "Tarzan" back to "Jane"!
Also, I'm glad that Luna has found a new friend... kissing friend... :D And Keiran is so mysterious.... And cool... :D
All in all, great chapter! I can't wait for the next!
Author's Response: How long do you think it will take for Wesley to go from kissing friend to boyfriend? :D Blaise is off the Bottled Sleep, so she\'s back from the land of the living dead and will be ready to resolve things next chap!
Date: 02/23/07 Title: Chapter 39: Things Revealed
Ack. A cliffhanger... Noooo!
They know now... and I was hoping they would take it well... What narrow-minded "friends", for crying out loud...
Well, great chapter anyway! I really enjoyed the Hook scene! Can't wait to find out what happens on that front! And I wonder what Ron and Harry are going to do... they'd better not hurt him if they want Ginny to ever speak to them again!
Anyway... brilliant chapter! Oh, and by the way, on the scenes, do you go to the Beta boards? If you do, could you PM the scene and the link? My name is Valentinia there too! *Puppy eyes* Please?
:D I can't wait for another update! This story is great!
Author's Response: For Ron, that was EXTREME self control, heh. They\'re decent guys, they don\'t actually torture Malfoy...although he may worry for awhile. :D
Hook will have a twist to his own story I think you\'ll really like...or fall over in shock...*giggles madly*
Did you get the link I sent for the Colin and Mindy scene? I think you have to be sorted for the beta boards, don\'t you? I refuse to be pigeon-holed, so I haven\'t registered or whatever it is you have to do. My email is oxnard9@hotmail.com. If you email me, I\'ll send you the scene in a word document. :)
Date: 01/15/07 Title: Chapter 28: Rollercoaster of Love
Yay! Valentine's day next! Cool! I really liked this chapter, too, though! The Zabinis are... a bit... disgusting, when you consider their Blaise's parents, and I can just picture Draco and Ginny's expressions in that cupboard! :D The double date sounded like Draco had fun, too... :) And a friendship between Terry and Draco... hmmm... well, miracles have been known to happen!
Plus, I loved Luna really getting over Harry! :D
Yeah, I loved this chapter! Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: I see Draco as the \'I don\'t need friends...especially not friends from other Houses\' type. But because his girlfriend\'s friends have boyfriends and Blaise has a boyfriend...he\'ll end up with mates, willingly or not, LOL. Thanks for loving the chapter!
