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

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: 01/02/07 Title: Chapter 24: A Bump in the Road to Love
Poor Blaise! I guess something like this had to happen eventually, but I hope they get back together! Blaise can't help it if Draco is in love with Ginny... it's not like it was really her (Blaise) with Draco! [/rant]
Anyway, I really enjoyed this chapter! Luna's getting over The-boy-who-can't-see-something-good-when-it's-standing-right- in-front-of-him! As usual, this chapter was well-written! Your writing style will never stop delighting me! I can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: The-boy-who-can\'t-see-something-good-when-it\'s-standing-right- in-front-of-him! is an excellent description. He\'s emotionally nearsighted every bit as much as physically! :D Wesley is more than happy to take Harry\'s place in Luna\'s affections, though. Absolutely, it isn\'t her fault, but Terry\'s like most guys, doesn\'t like being laughed at (or yelled at by family!)
Date: 03/12/07 Title: Chapter 44: Actions and Reactions
Awww... They're so sweet now that they can be public about it all! :D And I love Draco and Ron's interactions... :) It seems they're at least learning to tolerate each other and that's a good thing! :D Love Ron's comment in the bathroom, though, :D, almost as much as seeing Ginny and Draco happy! Also love the Hook/Trelawney thing. I hope Hook really likes her, I feel a bit sorry for her... :D The Mystery Gang is so fun!
Anyway... great chapter! I can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: If Draco refrains from taunting and Ron suppresses the urge to start punching, Ginny will be happy! :) The Scooby Gang is in training for a bigger mystery once term is over, but right now, Luna will discover something very interesting during the detention to come!
Date: 01/14/07 Title: Chapter 27: With a Little Help from My Friends
I've started reading this like five times, and something kept coming up so I couldn't continue reading! But now I've finally read this chapter, and I really liked it! :D "As you wish" *sigh* Lucky Luna! :) (lol...)
And I'm glad Ron and Hermoine's relationship seems to be progressing... even if Draco finds it disgusting. Plus, "Ronan" is hilarious!
I can't wiat for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Yay for you finally being able to read! I\'m with you about Wesley. Most guys would say \'You\'re still hung up on somebody you haven\'t even dated? I\'m outta here!\' :D Bet Draco wouldn\'t think Ginny in a kilt was disgusting, hee
Date: 06/21/06 Title: Chapter 12: Truth and Consequences
Another great chapter! I'm glad Terry found out, but even gladder he took Blaise back! Love Luna's dream, too. When will Luna's love come back into the story? Anyway... love the story, hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I\'m crossing my fingers my other fics in the queue clear soon. Ch 13 introduces a new character that complicates Luna\'s love life. (the love life she\'s always imagined for herself, anyway, lol)
Date: 07/03/06 Title: Chapter 13: Affection and Aftermath
Yet another great chapter. I really like all the Shakespeare you've integrated. Hope to see an update soon!!
Author's Response: Shakespeare really had a way with words, didn\'t he? Makes you wonder if he used it to win women. :D Draco isn\'t a big fan of the bard right now, but that may change.... :D Thanks, and I\'ll try my best!
Date: 08/14/06 Title: Chapter 15: Love and Quidditch
Lol! Tarzan and Jane! I love that you kept that joke up... :) I think you did a good job of keeping the romance non-adult but still conveying your message... I love Terry and Blaise's relationship... :D Also, I love the parts about Luna! I hope she doesn't like Wesley now thought... I'm a rather extreme Harry/Luna shipper! ;) Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: I\'m so happy you love Terry and Blaise! About Wesley and Luna....well....if he eventually pirates Luna\'s heart from Harry, he\'ll have to work long and hard for it, and, in the end, to quote the Princess Bride, \"You might not mind so much.\" :D
Date: 12/10/06 Title: Chapter 21: Yule
:D Cool chapter, as usual! This one was updated pretty fast! A few hours ago it wasn't even in queue (sp?) and now it's validated! Yay!
Anyway... I'm glad we finally got to find out what the whole deal with "playing healer" was really about...
I really feel sorry for Luna, with her confused, conflicting feelings, and also the bad and good memories of Yule...
Plus, the Celtic and Norse traditions tied in are a great touch! Really good chapter!
Author's Response: Queue is right. When I read Regency romances, the guys would tie their hair back \'in a queue\'....and then I learnt it was a line, which made sense and didn\'t, lol. More conflicted feelings for Luna next chap when she goes to work with Larry and runs into someone unexpected...ho ho ho!
Date: 07/31/06 Title: Chapter 14: Happy Hallowe'en!
Aww. I love the fluffiness in this chapter! I hope Luna gets Harry... soon... ;) Anyway... when Harry and Ron go into the Slytherin common room in CoS, there's only a wall, no painting. But otherwise... love the story, hope you update soon!
Author's Response: They added the painting......LOL. I\'d edit, but I like my painting, and since I already have Blaise Zabini as a girl, this can be \'wall disregarded\'. :D I\'ll remember that in future, canon, stories! Thank you for pointing that out!
Date: 12/05/06 Title: Chapter 20: Song and Dance
What a nice chapter! So long, too! Everything was described so well! I could picture every image and every word... even Ron was IC, even while kissing a Slytherin! :D
I don't think Ottery St. Catchpole is a wizard village, though, since Mrs Weasley talks about a postman from there... oh well, it is a really tiny thing, and doesn't really matter!
Larry Lovegood was cool too, and Luna was characterized perfectly as usual. I'm really liking Wesley more and more...
Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Didn\'t I say \'mostly wizard\' ? *makes note to go check, and if I didn\'t, change it!* Hogsmeade is the only fully wizard village, but just as London has wizarding sections, why shouldn\'t some villages have more wizards than others? ^_^ I\'m glad you liked Luna and her dad, and Wesley will make her holidays merry and bright!
Author's Response: Thanks to you the paragraph now reads...As the hour of eight arrived, the wizarding section of the village Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon was starting to show signs of life. Thanks!
Date: 01/22/07 Title: Chapter 30: Secrets
lol! Poor Luna... :D I love how everything is so connected, and yet every couple has its own problems - big and small. Plus, as usual, the characters were so cute! Ron is being a real prat about this though... I hope he'll be able to learn to accept Ginny and Draco - and I hope the rest of her family will too... I bet her parents would be okay with it...
And poor Mindy... I hope Colin sees who's better for him soon... ! Even if she is... well, I guess no one can say it better than Luna did back a couple chapters ago... :D
Can't wait for the next update! This story is great!
Author's Response: It\'s all perception. Ron has been persecuted and seen Harry persecuted by Snape and Draco to easily change his mind about either of them. Ginny was being a bit Arthur, optimistic, that chapter. Mindy and Colin are better suited, aren\'t they? :D
Date: 10/14/06 Title: Chapter 16: Snow Day
Aw. Fluffy!! I'm starting to really love Colin!! Picking up Malfoy habits... LOL! What I really like about this fic is how it's just about normal teenage lives, but they're canon characters. I'm still hoping for a Luna/Harry ending though... :D Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: You\'re right, they\'re normal teenagers....except more dramatic, and intense, and romantic! :D Colin has a few Machiavellian traits, which makes me like him more, lol, and eventually he\'ll find a girl to appreciate them. All I can say about Luna/Harry is after ch 23, tell me if you still feel that way, lol.
Date: 03/18/07 Title: Chapter 46: Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
Wow. That's a turn for the worse! I wonder who the raven is, too... A mystery! :D Plus, I love the idea of Draco, Wesley, Harry and Ron doing "manly stuff". And I can't wait to see that girls' day out! :) This is such a cool fic, it's great how you have a bit of everything and a lot of romance! :D I can't wait to find out what happens next!!
Author's Response: The guys have as much fun as the girls, although Draco will never admit it, heh. I\'m so happy you like all the twists and turns of romance. Makes the fluffy bits even better, doesn\'t it? :D
Date: 02/19/07 Title: Chapter 38: Good Intentions
Go Draco! I love him being resolved! So cute... I hope things work out for him and Ginny! And for Terry and Blaise! I mean, the Weasleys and the Malfoys hate eachother (not that that's okay but... yeah...) what's their excuse?
Anyway... great chapter! I'm really enjoying bits of Hook's life and all the mystery! :D What fic did you say is in the same universe? I must find it... Oh, and the orange throwing scene! You said you had that somewhere... ?
Oh well... getting off topic... Wonderful chapter! The characterization is great, the plot is wonderful, Wesley is so sweet... :D
Author's Response: I\'ll send you the orange-throwing scene. :) If you want the link to the story, I\'ll send that too. It\'s on another site and would need way too much editing to make it Mugglenet worthy. Thank you for every comment, on or off topic! ^_^
Date: 03/08/07 Title: Chapter 43: Wonderwall
Cool chapter! I love the bit about Ron's dream... :D And I'm so relieved the conversation with Draco and the Wealseys went as well as it did! At least their allowed to see each other, unlike Blaise and Terry... Also, having the conversation between Harry and Luna was a nice touch. I really liked seeing how they're both not sure in the beginning, but by the end you can tell there's never going to be anything else between the two of them.
Also, having now almost finished Simply Irresistible (and loving it) I can truly appreciate the parallels, and they're really fun! As is Mushu, :D And this whole fic! I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: I hope you know you made my month by reading the other story! (I fixed Hagrid\'s dialogue in ch 13, if you ever want to check to see the vast improvement, although I miss the wee scoosh o\' Scots, hee)
The Luna/Harry was bittersweet to write since I hoped in canon they would be together after OotP, but somehow I knew they wouldn\'t. Sigh. Bet Luna/Harry fics bump up after the film premieres, though, LOL.
Date: 02/01/07 Title: Chapter 32: Breaking Away
Aww. Sweet. But poor Blaise! I like how you let these things about her past come out slowly, though, instead of telling them all at once or anything. It really makes everything more believable. Marisol sounds like a... not very nice person... neither does Lucius Malfoy!!!
Anyway... wonderful chapter, as usual! I can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Lucius is a better person than Marisol...which is really saying something damning about her, lol. I think you\'ll like how Ginny finds out about all this and helps Draco deal with it. ^_^
Date: 03/23/07 Title: Chapter 49: Love is the Sweetest Thing
Only one more chapter???? Eeek! What will I do...
Oh, I know... Beg you to write a sequel? Or have you? :D
Anyway... I'm glad everyone's lives are going so well. Blaise and Terry are sooo cute! Their wedding was great, and their relationship is so... married. :D I'm glad Luna's gotten her life straightened out, too, and that she's happy. Same for Ginny and Draco! Romania sounds like a real adventure, :D. Great chapter, as always!
Author's Response: Romania will hold several surprises. Got to go all out for the last chapter, right? It\'s over 13K, so a lot of things get resolved...well, the things that can be resolved, since life isn\'t always tidy like sitcoms that wrap it all up in a half hour. ^_^ No sequel, but I promise the one shots will be satisfying. The reunion one has Terry and Wesley\'s povs too!
Date: 01/09/07 Title: Chapter 26: Lovers
:D Yeah! Tarzan and Jane were meant to be! :D
Anyway... now that that's out of the way... I really enjoyed this chapter! Keiran is hilarious... he's just so... innocent, I guess. And the potion's testing was hilarious. And I loved Luna's dream! The True Love... how romantic! ... :D As usual, this chapter was great! I can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: Yay, you\'re glad Tarzan and Jane are back together! The boys needed to come to an understanding...nothing like truth potion for that, heh. Luna will have more pirate fantasies, and true love, for all couples will be romantic. ^_^
Date: 02/26/07 Title: Chapter 40: Backlash
Eeek. They're taking this BADLY! I guess that was to be expected, though... but still... have some empathy, people, she's your daughter!
Anyway... great chapter, even if it was a little angsty... :D I guess a totally fluffy story would be boring, wouldn't it?
Ron is a prat. And her parents are worse!
Anyway... I can't wait to find out more about Hook, either! :D
Update soon!
Author's Response: They have to work through the stages. Right now, they\'re stuck in anger.
Total fluff would be boring, but some, at just the right places, lifts the story out of the pit of angst, heh. More Hook coming up!
Date: 03/04/07 Title: Chapter 42: When Dreams Do Show Me Thee
:D I think Ginny's family is almost coming around? Maybe... hopefully... This cliffie is killing me!!! I can't wait for you to update!
This was a great chapter, though! :D Jane... I mean Blaise's dream was great! So cute! So was the Scooby-Doo idea, that was fun! There are just so many little things that make this fic a masterpiece, :D
I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Yahoo! I\'m so glad you like the Scooby Gang! The snooping on Hook is practice for the great bubblegum wrapper mystery that they\'ll try to solve when school is out!
Date: 03/16/07 Title: Chapter 45: Something Wicked This Way Comes
Awww. Luna and Wesley are so sweet! If only he existed in canon, I would stop shipping H/L immediately! Anyway... I really enjoyed this chapter! I liked seeing Puck again! I love that there are so many Draco look-alikes... :D Puck, the Blood Baron... :)
I also loved seeing Draco with Ginny and her friends and managing at the party and with Ron and Hermione. He and Ginny are just so sweet! His dad... sucks... though. And so does Terry and Blaise's situation! Oh, and I love Hook, have I mentioned that? :D I can't wait to see if Blaise finds a match for Messers C and G! Great chapter! I'll see you again next! (Unless I break my resolve and go read "Don't Call Me Daddy"... I'm trying to wait so I don't spoil the ending of Matchmakers).
Author's Response: I\'ll go for H/L over H/G any day of the week and twice on Sundays...whatever that saying means, LOL. If Wesley was in canon, Jo would have killed him off like Cedric, so he wouldn\'t rival Harry in popularity with the girls, heh. Hook gets better...yay for Luna\'s dreams!
