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

The Things We Do For Love by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
After her first kiss with Ron, Hermione asks Ginny for advice. What follows is a lesson in the things we do for love.
This three part story was written pre-HBP, when the future looked, if not exactly rosy, at least not that dreadful shade of Lavender that coloured the Potterverse in the sixth book.
* Rated for snogging ^_~*
Date: 04/12/07 Title: Chapter 3: All's Well That Ends Well
Awwwww. I love this ficlet! So sweet! It's great to see Ron and Hermione have the chance to just care about being together and being happy for once - some romance without angst is always called for in the angst-filled books! :D Plus, your characterizations were great! I loved Hermione being spontaneous, that was cute! So was Ron doing the "organized day"!
Author's Response: People will do crazy things for love, like walking in the rain, and the snow, when there\'s nowhere to go....:D
In Retrospect by LariLee
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: After the war, Harry finds himself in the office of a Squib psychiatrist because everyone needs someone to talk to. Even if your life is going good, really.
Date: 01/14/07 Title: Chapter 1: In Retrospect
Woah. That was different! But cool... I like your portrayal of Harry's life "after everything is over". You're right, I don't think life will be perfect for him! And your writing style as well as the whole tone of the story were very original and clever. Harry really stayed IC! I really enjoyed reading this fic!
For What It's Worth by Aelan Greenleaf
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Three meetings, two people, one place. The girl and the boy, together and apart. Nothing lasts forever, but at least she remembers when it felt like eternity, when the days were soft, the nights of dark and their love, forever [Lily/James AU]
Nominee for Best Alternate Universe in the Quicksilver Quills!
Date: 06/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Sub-Chapter
i really like this story! you should continue! i love how well you tied in the title!
Honour Amongst Thieves by SnorkackCatcher
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Mundungus Fletcher helps steal the Crown Jewels, supplying 'expert assistance' in overcoming Muggle security measures without leaving a trace. Of course, with Mundungus around things don't always go smoothly ...
Date: 07/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: Story Text
Lol. This story is quite funny. I really enjoyed it. Until Shaklebolt called him "Ben" I thought it was Bill Weasley... :) I mean... Willie could be short for William (just like Bill) right? Anyway... this story is really quite clever. I really enjoyed Mundungus. I love the idea of wizards stealing the crown jewels... and all the ways they have to get past security!
Author's Response: Thanks -- I was sort of leaving it open as to whether it might be Bill on an Order mission until the end (Williamson\'s a fairly obscure character). Glad you enjoyed Dung here -- this was one of those daft plot ideas that just required him as a character. :)
Fan Girl by Evilpersonified
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Severus Snape has taken a teaching job at Hogwarts, and he intends to teach, not act as a confindent for silly little students, thank you very much. But while he tries to keep himself as isolated as possible, there is one particular student who can't help but fall for the grumpy potions' master.
Date: 06/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
intresting... tonks seemed a bit ooc, but i guess it was the crush on sanpe... definately a worth while read!!
Mary Sue, Marauders love you! by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
In the far, far away land of California, where the moon was in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligned with Mars, an Aquarian girl was called to Hogwarts, met the Marauders, and let her love steer the stars!
*Groovy prequel to Mary Sue, I love you!*
Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill for Best Humour Fiction.
Date: 06/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: Mary Sue, Marauders Love You!
LOL this one is just as funny, maybe even funnier than mary sue, i love you! i love "you're the fuzz, jamie!" hilarious! just one thing, though... why "romeo to her rosaline?" didn't rosaline never return romeo's "love"? anyway... funny story!
Author's Response: I think Rosaline returned his love...and then looked into another rad guy\'s amazing eyes and soon found herself in another\'s arms, breaking Romeo\'s heart...for about six seconds, LOL.
Remus and Nymphadora Lupin’s Vegas Holiday by lunafish
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: The war is over, and newlyweds Remus and Nymphadora Tonks have decided to take a well deserved holiday. Too bad for Severus Snape that he just happens to be heading in the same direction. Warning: A bit of sexual innuendo and some references to gambling. Posted prior to DH.
Date: 06/11/06 Title: Chapter 1: Remus and Nymphadora Lupin’s Vegas Holiday
lol pretty funny story! poor snape!
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked it! Thank you for the review!
Ode to Mary Sue by Kerichi
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
After eviscerating Mary Sue in fiction, Mary Sue, I love you! and Mary Sue, Marauders love you!, I was seized by the irresistible urge to skewer her in sonnet. (my version of one, anyway, choosing content over iambic pentameter :D) Shakespeare's 18th sonnet, Shall I compare thee..., was my inspiration, since when it comes to Mary Sue fics, (including the humorous ones) So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee....
*Rated 3rd-5th only due to a belief that younger readers shouldn't be exposed to unpleasant 'facts of life' like Mary Sue. ^_~ *
Date: 06/17/06 Title: Chapter 1: Ode to Mary Sue
LOL! Just like the other two stories in this series, your sonnet is hilarious! It's also good, how you actually made it a real sonnet, with the rhyme scheme and everything!
Author's Response: Thanks! I failed to uphold iambic pentameter, but since I\'m not being graded on form, lol, I\'m grateful you liked the content! :D
Catching Up by Loki MM
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Andromeda Tonks runs into her uncle Alphard at the Leaky Cauldron with an odd question and some good news.
Date: 07/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: Catching Up
I really enjoy Black family fics, and this one was very good. I like how there are a few so-called-blood traitors but also people who are undecided. After all, "the world isn't divided into good people and death eaters" ... :) I really enjoy the characterization of Alphard, too. He seems very likable, but also very realistic!
Peeves' Reward by KenTuck
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Gauntlet Challenge submission by KenTuck of Hufflepuff house. Watch how Peeves ventures through a difficult maze to recover an important prize at the end. His competitors include Luna, Snape, the Bloody Baron, Filch, and Firenze.
Date: 07/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Opening Competition
Okay.... I'm confused... How can you hold a ghost captive? Why couldn't she just float out the door? How can a ghost be hurt? I mean, they're dead, right? But anyway... this story is definately interesting and well written and has got me hooked.
Author's Response: I\'m sorry you were confused, but I\'m glad you liked the story. I think that he put up enchantments so that she couldn\'t leave, and his torture may have been more mental than physical.
Date: 07/08/06 Title: Chapter 3: Table of Life
Wow. The part about the Baron confused me a little, but I think I've figured out what you were talking about (he left the maze with the girl, right?). Anyway... Peeves seemed a little ooc from the beginning, but I suppose part of that can be called character developement. I would have made Luna a year or two older, though, so that this isn't set in Harry's fifth year, because we know that in his sixth year, Peeves hasn't changed or anything. Anyway.... good story, I really enjoyed it!
Author's Response: Yeah, I think that the Baron part confused a lot of people, but he did leave the maze and he pretty much forfeited his right to win.
I was trying to develop Peeves in a different way, because I don\'t believe anyone is pure evil. I know that Peeves doesn\'t change in the books because this had a bit of AU in it. Thanks for the lovely reviews!
The Unexpected Gift by Accio_Brain
Rated: Professors •Summary: It's Voldemort's birthday and Harry and Hermione have been invited to his birthday party. As the festivities commence, Voldemort makes a new friend. But things aren't always as they seem, for someone else has a plan that could make this Voldemort's worst birthday ever.
Date: 05/05/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
LOL! Pointless, yes, plotless, basically, hilarious, definitely! Snape and Cissy are cool! :D I enjoyed reading this fic and I definitely got a laugh out of it!
Author's Response: My muse was most certainly hammered when she came up with this one. It\'s very stupid and pointless but I think it\'s pretty funny. I\'m glad you got a kick out of it. : D
Now Dance! by TOMROHT
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Hermione convinces Harry and Ron to go with her to the auditions for Professor Lockhart's new Drama Club. This is Harry's first foray into show biz, and he's not at all impressed.
Date: 07/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
LOL!! I can actually picture this happening. Poor Harry. Lockheart is hilarious. This is like a deleted scene from CoS. The writing is really good.
Author's Response: I thank the kindly for thy review...and I\'m really not so good at the whole Old English thing...please forgive me...I can picture it happening, too...I\'m glad you enjoyed the story...and thanks again for reviewing...
TOMROHT
Author's Response: (That should be \"thee,\" I think...oops!

Am I going crazy? - Ron's Dream Diary by Mira Miracle
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Have you ever wondered how the Dream Diary Ron had to do for Divination his his fifth year was like? Well, here it is: Homework Assignment: Dream Diary by Ronald Bilius Weasley. Dive into Ron's subconcious, explore his dreams and read up his comments on them. Do they maybe show the future? Do they merely show his wishes? Are they just weird? Or is Ron - going crazy?
Date: 08/26/06 Title: Chapter 4: There's no need to panic
:D I love this story! It's really funny... It's good how you include Harry's and Ron's thoughts, too. Anyway... I don't really know what else to say... the hidden meanings (well, not so hidden to us... :D) were very clever, too!
Author's Response: Thanks for your nice review! I\'m glad you enjoyed it and noticed the meanings of each (well, nearly each) dream.
Date: 06/17/06 Title: Chapter 2: Maybe I should go to Madam Pomfrey?
lol! Funny story! I love how so much of it actually is foreshadowing, and Ron doesn't know it!
Author's Response: Thanks for the nice review! Ron\'s ignorance towards the foreshadowing was the general idea behind it. Ron sometimes says something just as a funny phrase which later really happens. You can interpret the future into nearly each of the sentences - well, if your name isn\'t Ron or Harry ;-)
Date: 08/20/06 Title: Chapter 3: I'm saved!
Lol! Ron and his prophetic dreams... :D
Twilight by Blossomlily
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Here is the story of Edward John Hoe, ex-Seeker of the English Quidditch team.
As a boy, I was an idiot. I am dropping my ego in saying this, because it is true. I was an idiot because I almost got taken in by Shirley. Shirley is the woman who almost ruined my life. But I didn’t let her. I won our pathetic little contest in the end.
Date: 07/13/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Sad. Tragic even. It's disturbing, and yet the reader can't help but feel for Edward. What's very good about this is that, though through the writing it's obvious that he's not exactly mentally stable, the thoughts and feelings can be followed and even understood. This story reminded me a bit of Edgar Allan Poe. I might ad that I love his work.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. :)
A Single Act of Kindness by Sly Severus
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Petunia Dursley has a problem with the wizarding world, and an even bigger problem with her sister. It all started when Lily went away to Hogwarts. But that wasn't enough to completely tear the sisters apart. What finally ended their relationship forever was a single act of kindness.
Date: 07/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Wow. Sad. I almost cried, to tell the truth. I personally happen to love Petunia, and think you defintately did her character (as well as Lily's) justice in this (albeit short) story. I'm glad to see there's someone else out there who knows Petunia wouldn't have hated Lily THAT much only because she was a witch.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I\'m glad you enjoyed the story. And I can\'t imagine that Petunia would hate her sister like that just because she\'s a witch. It just doesn\'t make sense. There has to be more to it then that. Thanks again, for the review!
Beneath The Shell by Sly Severus
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Andromeda takes a young Tonks to the beach. She quickly finds herself exhausted and falls asleep. Tonks decides to explore on her own. She meets someone her mother never expected her to meet.
Date: 07/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Interesting, interesting. I love the way you characterize baby Tonks, though I think it might have been better if she were a little older (say six or seven). She acts a bit mature for a four-year-old. I also enjoyed Bella, though she seems a little ooc, but I agree with you that she wasn't always bad. The ending is also very good, because the rearder kind of wonders if Tonks ever saw the beautiful woman she had met at the beach in Bella later, in a duel or something. All in all, very good.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing. I\'m glad you enjoyed it. I thought about making Tonks a bit older, but I really felt that she needed to be extremely young for it to work, especially considering she would have only been around nine when Bella went to prison. Anyway, you hit on the idea I\'ve been thinking about for a sequal. I haven\'t got all the kinks worked out yet, but I do plan to write a story where Bella and Tonks meet again, and I think it will be during a battle. Anyway, thanks again, for reviewing.
Bound by Marauder by Midnight
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: While the trio explores the Restricted Section once more, they stumble upon a secret meeting. Ron straggles behind and witnesses the true power of love. Takes place during CoS.
Irma Pince/Argus Filch
Written in response to the challenge issued by evanescence17 in the Gryffindor common room.
Date: 06/24/06 Title: Chapter 1: Bound
Interesting. I think this story is based on a really good idea, and is pretty well-written. I do think that the characters are a bit off, though. Hermione wouldn't refer to Madame Pince as an "old vulture", and Ron and Harry really wouldn't care about a potions essay. But those are pretty minor things, and on the whole this story is really good. I especially liked the ending, though I'm not sure about "knowing his friends would never understand the serenity and teh desire to live and love he had experience in the library". After all, love is Harry's " power the Dark Lord knows not".
Author's Response: Hehe \"old vulture\" is my pet name for Madam Pince. And I agree with you somewhat; Hermione wouldn\'t call her that. Unless she\'s bothering them tremendously as she is doing in my story. Again, you\'re right. Ron and Harry wouldn\'t care much about the potions essay. But I did explain it in my story. Finally, you\'re again right about Harry\'s knowledge on love. However, he knows the love a mother has for her son. Ron knows the love a man could have for a woman.
Thanks for your review!
