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.

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.

Yay! Even if everything isn't perfect yet (and it would very unrealistic if it were!) the family meeting was great! Things are getting better for everyone! And I love the slowly-progressing relationship between Hermione and Snape... :D Maybe someday they'll even look like a family! :D Can't wait for the next update!!
Author's Response: Yes, they could be a real family someday, couldn\'t they? I hope things progress in that direction. :0)
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Valentinia! :0)
Oooh! I love Snape's fatherly instincts coming through! Near the end you wrote "gapping" instead of "gaping" though. Also, I would think that Nathan would have more than three classes per day ("Breakfast, Charms, flying lessons — which was turning out to be a fun class — lunch, Transfiguration") but oh well... that's really tiny! Once again, a great chapter! Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Oh, thanks for pointing out the \"gapping\" issue, I\'ll correct. :0)
For the classes... I did put some thought over it before adding that line. I think they have many double classes and some spare time for working on assignements, because they don\'t take so many subjects to fill all their time. But that\'s only me thinking too much. :0P
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Valentinia. I really appreciate them. :0)
Angsty chapter, is right!! But very good! I think, possibly, my favorite one yet!! I had guessed what Snape had done to Hermione (go me!!), but am still wondering how he saved Nathan's life... did I miss it, or is is still coming? Anyway, great chapter. It's good how Nathan really is a perfect combination of Snape and Hermione!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked the angsty chapter.
I left some clues along the chapter as to what had happened, I\'m happy you caught them. :0)
You didn\'t miss anything. Nathan\'s life was saved when Severus saved Hermione during the war.
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Valentinia! :0)
Ooooh can't find to find out what happens next. The Astronomy Tower... what's up there??? Anyway... I don't usually like the nickname "Mione" but it's okay in this story, cause the characters have had years to start calling her that and get used to it and all. I liked having another scene with Hermione. Hope to read the next chapter soon!
Author's Response: The Astronomy Tower. Well...
I didn\'t know the nickname was so hated when I wrote it. *lol* It\'s canon in Portuguese...
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Valentinia! :0)

Author's Response: Another review? *lol*
Thanks for reading and reviewing twice! :0)
Hermione really has to try hard with those two doesn't she? But if you have faith, so do I! :D Another really good chapter! I'm glad you're giving the reader a lot on how Nathan is dealing with Snap as is father. It must be really hard for him to have all of the attention and to have this thrust on him and all. Hasn't he wondered how he was conceived, though? I mean, hasn't he wondered if his parents dated or something? Either way, though, cool chapter! I can't wait to find out what happens next! Update soon! :)
Ooooooh! You're evil! No, not really... :D Anyway, I love this chapter! For one thing, the interactions between Snape and Nathan are perfect! And Snape's feelings are great! They stay IC all the way through! I also love how upset Nathan gets when he thinks his friends have "betrayed" him - he gets more and more like his father each chapter!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked the interactions between Snape and Nathan. Their feeling get more and more intense...
Thanks for reading and reviewing one more chapter, Valentinia! :0)
LOL! Not sure teaching is really going to be Hermione's job, but this was a really funny story none-the-less. It's also very in character for Hermione not to mix "business" with her personal life (two different letters every time :D) It is a bit odd that Harry doesn't mind his daughter liking an older guy... I kinda see Harry becoming a very overprotective father. His letter was hilarious though!! Anyway... enough from me.... Good story!
Author's Response: Yeah, I could see that side of Harry-I also see the \"aw, let \'em do it-we lived through it.\" Anyway, glad you liked it!

a bit vague, and I think you should continue! good story!
Author's Response: Sorry it seemed vague--hopefully in the future, if I ever get around to continuing, I can clear things up! Thanks for your comment!
I, personally, believe that Snape is good, but this interpretation is also very interesting. I don't really think Snape would take "the coward's way out" as some would see it, though. I think if he did, though, he would try to justify it in some way other than another way out. Otherwise... a touching story.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I\'m surprised that I managed to move you.
I read this story a long time ago, but I didn't review! Shame on me!
Anyway... it's really a great character study of Hagrid as well as (in my mind) an accurate description of what being in Azkaban is like. I'm glad to see Hagird so hopeful, as that's a huge part of his character, as is his love of nature and spring.
I'm not sure what else to say, but, great story!
Different. But interesting, definitely interesting. As an all-out L/H shipper, I can see how this makes sense with Harry's character - Luna is the only one who ever saw him for what he really is. I don't think Hermione and Ron would ever turn on Harry like that, though. Still, this was a good read, well-written. I liked the ending. And it definitely made me think!
Hi GinnyRox!! I'm glad to see you've posted a story on mugglenet!! This is an interesting chapter, leaving the reader with a lot of questions. I do think it's kinda ooc for Malfoy to carry Hermione to the hospital wing... you might want to elaborate somehow. Otherwise... the plot seems promising, hope you update soon!!
Author's Response: Well, thamk you for the review! I kind of thought with this story that the characters would be a little ooc because of the plot. But I think I will elaborate on that part because i think it can seem a little odd.
Author's Response: Sorry about that spelling error. Oh and one more thing: I\'m not going to be able to update this story until July 18th. For more information see my account.
Lol. Funny take on Sirius! I can just picture him with all of those rabbits - hilarious. Also, though, as usual, you managed to make this story more than just plan humor, with the darker mentions of his family and Sirius's relationship - or lack there of - with them. All in all, a great story! Very fun to read!
awww! that was a really nice, fluffy story!
Author's Response: thanks! I meant it to be fluffy like a giant teddy bear, so I\'m glad that it turned out that way. Thanks for the review!
Awww. Poor Petunia and poor Harry. I do think that a lot of Petunia's feelings in this piece could have actually been like that. I agree, they didn't hate each other since the beginning - magic did change it all. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is yet to be discussed- but that's a different topic.
Anyway, great story!
This is a great one-shot, as well as a cool addition to "In the Eyes of Others". Though I'm not sure why you didn't just add it to that story, I very much enjoyed reading it on its own, too.
Severus' thoughts make sense and are IC. His feelings about embarrassment are also realistic and very human. Also, the comparison between the Marauders, who do everything together, and Severus who does everything alone, it felt very clearly. All in all, this was a great part of your "Severus in Profile" series!
Author's Response: I feel funny wedging new chapters into a posted story, is all, and this was bunnied by a discussion of how to make Marauders more like real characters. \"What classes did they choose?\" I asked in the thread, and suddenly -- wham. Character sketch. Thanks for the review!
Within the Marauder band of Merry Men, Sirius is the dashing Will Scarlet. Seventh year, his goal is not to rob the rich, but to help poor Robin woo Maid Lily, avoid sermons from Friar Moony, aid a rat in need, and win the love of a fair lady.

*Chapter 30 is 'To Be Loved'*
Wow. It's amazing how you write so many fics that are equally romantic, humorous and well-written yet manage to develop every character in his/her own way! I really loved your interpretation of Sirius, about whom we know quite a bit, and of Rosmerta, who is virtually unknown. I loved every single Marauder scene, too, you write them amazingly! I feel pretty bad for reading all thirty chapters and only leaving two reviews, but rest assured I loved the fic and just couldn't put it down (in a metaphorical sense, of course...) long enough. Brilliant! I can't wait to read the one-shots!
Author's Response: That\'s a great compliment, that you \"couldn\'t put it down\" so to speak, like a book you keep reading when you know you should do things like eat or sleep, heh. I\'m happy whenever you review, and huzzah, you\'re off to read the one shots! ^_^
Hi again... hehe... Bet you were wondering when I'd show up again. Well, here I am. Don't worry. I'm not stalking you... exactly... :D
Seriously, though, I'm looking forward to reading another of your masterpieces. This first chapter promises humor and romance and adventure and brilliant characters, and I can't wait to find out more about Rosmerta's family and past, and to see her and Sirius progress. :) I think I'll settle in and read this whole fic now...
Author's Response: Hoping, lol. I live in hope. :D
Yay! You\'re reading Sirius\' story! You\'ll find out about Sirius\' family and past, too. Both characters have been shaped by their families and life experiences, which makes them even more meant for each other! ^_^
This decidedly un-fluffy one-shot takes place in the summer before Harry's fifth year, and was written for the SH Spring Faire Festival’s “Black versus Snape” Challenge. Sirius fans are kindly advised to abstain…
lol! that whole speech sounded so much like snape! great job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad you liked it :). -S.
