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

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Ron and Harry are assigned a unique essay by the vengeful Professor Severus Snape. As Harry works frantically to appease the wrath of Snape, Ron smiles at the ease of such an assignment.
Written in response to Bellatrix Black's banner titled The Perfect Gryffindor Spirit for the Gryffindor in-House challenge.
Dedicated to the wonderful Gryffindor House with whom I've had the pleasure to work with.
Date: 07/18/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Perfect Gryffindor Spirit
Lol. I loved Ron's "essay" ... recipe at the end! Short, funny story.
A Different Reality by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Harry has just witnessed the death of Professor Dumbledore, and chases after the murderous Snape before he can escape the grounds. But the former potions master easily captures Harry, and takes him back to Spinner’s End along with Draco Malfoy. What happens to Harry at Spinner’s End? Will Snape cement his allegiance to the Dark Lord and turn Harry over to Voldemort? What happens to Draco Malfoy? Will Voldemort punish him for his failure on the Tower? And what about Severus Snape - will Harry learn the truth about the former Death Eater at last?
This story is now complete, and presents an alternate ending to Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince, in which Harry learns more than he could have ever imagined about Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore. He must abandon many of his old convictions and come to an understanding of a new and different reality before setting out on his final journey to vanquish Lord Voldemort in Book Seven.
Date: 09/17/06 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter Seven: News
Cool story, so far! I can't wait for the next update! I really like how it's actually believable, but how Snape taking Harry with him changed so much.
Author's Response: Hi Valentinia! Thanks so much for the review! I am glad you like the story so far and hope you enjoy the rest. I\'m working on the next chapters so hopefully it won\'t be too long. It\'s funny how one little thing could potentially change so much, isn\'t it? And its all because of a silly online poll! I\'m having fun though. :) Thanks again!! ~Gina :)
What's Yours by Just Tink
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Maria and Labella have been best friends since Hogwarts. Labella is the perfect best friend, completely devoted to Maria in each and every way. She would follow Maria to the ends of the earth. But when Labella's life hangs in the balance, will Maria be able to follow her friend down the most dangerous path of all? Winner of the June/July Monthly Original Character Challenge: Conflict.
Date: 09/04/06 Title: Chapter 1: What's Yours
Noooo!! Don't do it, Maria!! *clears throat* Anyway... great story! I love how you show how Maria feels responsible for her best friend, and, even though she doesn't want to hurt others, can't bear to hurt her own friend. It makes for a much more human character than someone who always knows right away what the right choice is. I also like how you end where you do. The reader can assume she's going to join, but it's not really said for sure.
Author's Response: LOL. Glad you liked it! And yeah, Maria is definetely a Hufflepuff, in case you hadn\'t guessed. It\'s a tough choice... I\'m not sure I\'d be able to make it. Glad you liked it the ending as well! Thanks for the great review!
Even Fallen Angels Love by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: Professors •Summary: Who was Lucius Malfoy's first love? Someone who stole his heart caused him more trouble than ever he expected and introduced him to romance in winter.
This story has been nominated in the hurt/comfort category in owl.tauri.org's awards for 2006 fanfics. It has also recieved a Runner-Up award for Best Romance in the Mod Quicksilver Quills.
Date: 05/29/07 Title: Chapter 6: Afterward
What a sad fic! In a good way, of course, brilliantly written and touching, but sooo sad! This is a pairing I don't think I've ever seen before, but it was so well thought out that it fit into canon perfectly but with a new twist on old characters. Wonderful!
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m not sure you\'ll find that pairing much, but it suddenly made sense and I just HAD to write it.
Deus Ex Machina by joanna
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A father. On the wrong path. A daughter. Trying to mend what's been broken. And finally, the intervention of a god. Warning: None canon character death, but nothing graphic.
Written for the June/July Challenge, Challenge Two: Conflict. I'm joanna from Ravenclaw.
Many thanks to Erin, who really helped with this!
Date: 10/01/06 Title: Chapter 1: Deus Ex Machina
Wow. Cool take on how Thestrals became! I like how the characters are quite vague, but still profound, as is the story. It really sounds like a real Greek (Harry Potter-ish) myth! Also, it's good how the father is shown to be such a cruel man by side comments like the one on how he keeps Alkaios there. I do think that maybe Thais would be a bit more surprised to see Apollo appear, although I suppose with the father having just died and all the confusion and all... bit of a state of shock, huh? Anyway... good story!

Brave Little Cabbage by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Simone Cheney has a moral dilemma to solve: explain the horrible mess, or betray her dearest friend?
Date: 06/11/07 Title: Chapter 1: Peeves
Aw. This fic is cute without really being out and out fluff! An amazing achievement, I must say! I really liked Minerva's characterization, though I thought it was actually rather sad that Peeves took all of the mischief out of her - well, not all of it... :D. Anyway, I really enjoyed your writing, as always, and I thought this pairing - and your OC - was really sweet.
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad to see this fic getting a chuckle from someone, and that you found it to have a comfy level of fluff!
Tawfiq's Tale by bittersweet_lullaby
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Click, click, click.
"Father, tell me about the day those humans came into the hollow."
Tawfiq, an elderly Acromantula, tells his sad tale of revenge to his son.
Date: 09/09/06 Title: Chapter 1: Tawfiq's Tale
Very, very different!! But good!! For one thing, the names are really cool! Also, his thought's make sense, and his animal insticts (e.g. the hunger) are combined well with humanesque qualities (e.g. the love of Mierit and the wish for revenge). This story really shows a new side to acromantulas...
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I was hoping people would like it. :) The names are mostly Arabic and African, I found them on my favorite names website. I really like those kinds of names, and I liked them as Acromantula names as well. Thanks for reviewing, glad you liked it. :)
It Runs in the Family by ronnyc718
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Years ago, Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort. Since then, everything has seemed to go his way, until one day he receives a letter from someone in his past, someone he never thought he would hear from again… What could this person possibly want?
One shot - no current plans to continue!!
However, my sister has taken this one-shot and turned it into a full story. Her first chapter is up at http://fanfiction.mugglenet.com/viewstory.php?sid=64993.
Date: 08/15/06 Title: Chapter 1: It Runs in the Family
Oooh! I love how Harry's life is described first and then Dudley's unexpected letter comes! Great twist! Also, good suspense... it took me until "You can undo it, right?" to realize what Dudders was on about! Anyway... cool story! I realize you don't plan to continue this, but if you do... let me know! I'd love to see where you could go with this!
Author's Response: Thank you!!
Jemina by Emily_the_Poet
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It's fifth year, and Jemina's O.W.Ls are almost here. However, first she has to go to career advice. The problem is, she doesn't know what she want's to be!
Written for challenge two conflict, by Emily_the_poet of Ravenclaw House.
Date: 07/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: Makes a Choice
Good story. I'm really enjoying Jemina! I love the interaction with James Potter, too! Poor Jemina... hasn't spoken to her mother for that long? Jemina did seem a bit... perfect though. I mean, only Os... not even Hermione is that good... That's just me, though. I really enjoyed the ending especially! The Head of House is a great character!
Author's Response: I enjoyed witing him! He was such a fun character! And I wanted her to have someone. Kinda like sirius and Dumbledore for harry. Only Lenity isn\'t murdered.
The reaso Jemina is perfect is because she\'s a brilliant girl. If you read the Truth About Daddy you\'ll see that it\'s in the genes. I wanted her to be elite, like her father.
The Truth About Daddy by Emily_the_Poet
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The locked room is a place few wizards will go... Actually, where only one wizard will go as Jemina Doyle will son discover.
Written for Ravenclaw House
Date: 07/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I really like how she finds out the truth about her father. That room seems very thrilling, too! I hope there are more Jemina one-shots soon!
Conviction by POTCgirl1337
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A 17 year old Squib is banished from her wizarding village south of Salem in the year 1690. With no where else to go, she walks miles to the closest town, Salem, where she is convicted of witchcraft on a little girl. She is to be hung by the neck untill dead.
Date: 09/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: Conviction
The irony of it all!! Poor Ann! A well-written piece, though! I don't know if you actually looked it up, but in 1692 a woman named Mary Parker really was hung on the 22 of September in Salem for witchcraft. Cool story, anyway!
Author's Response: Thanks! I did know that there was a Mary Parker, but I wanted to switch up some names so it wasn\'t exactly the same as history. But I didn\'t know she was hung on Sept. 22. I chose that date becuase it was nearing the end of the Salem Witch Trials, weird huh?
Potter by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Severus pauses in his eternal grading to ponder a student who could be getting better marks.
Date: 08/14/06 Title: Chapter 1: Colour-Change Ink
What a nice story! I'm not exactly sure what the "solution" is though... howcome comparing the grades would make Harry's work any better? Oh well... that's probably just me! Anyway... I love how the letters to Lily are sort of mixed in to the plot of this rather short fic... and it's great how they become less and less formal. Also, Snape seems very IC and his thoughts are easy to follow and make sense!
Author's Response: Ah. Severus is being subtle -- Ron\'s essays have better marks, are about the same quality or maybe a little lower, and are written in black ink. His and Hermione\'s are proof that a Gryffindor can get a better grade than Harry is getting, and thus evidence against basic favoritism, so further indicate that Harry is himself doing something wrong. But... Severus? Say something flat-out, or even through only one layer of indirectness? To Harry? Thanks for the review! I\'m glad you enjoyed this, and that the other stories you\'ve read have brought you back for this one.
Roses and Fire by hermy_loves_ron
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: One-shot. Two parts, first Ron/Hermione, then Harry/Ginny. Both parts take place at sunset after Bill and Fluer's wedding.
This is my first fan fiction on these boards, so please read and review!
Date: 08/25/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Wow. I think that both relationships are portrayed very well, and very believably! One thing, though... I think Ginny's eyes are brown. But the ice/water/fire imagery worked so well I didn't really mind them being blue! :)
Author's Response: Yeah, I\'ve been informed on that point. *headdesk* But I really did want the sort of contrasting images, and it just sort of fit in my story. Thanks so much for saying you like it though.
A Meeting Long Overdue by GringottsVault711
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Severus Snape is called to the Headmaster's office in the early hours of the morning for an important mission; a mission that will force him to face his past. Involves toothpaste and mail order catalogs.
Date: 09/19/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Meeting Long Overdue
Lol!! Poor Alphred, though. Also, I'm reasonably sure that wizards brush their teeth, too. But that's not really all that important... :) I like how "emotional" Snape becomes at the sight of his old owl...
Author's Response: Aha, they brush their teeth, but not with Muggle Toothpaste ;)
Thanks for reading and reviewing :D
A Death Eater's Bedtime Story by Sly Severus
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A father tells his young son a familar story. A story that has become the boy's favorite. It is the story of the Dark Lord and the evil Harry Potter.
Date: 09/04/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Cool story. Definately nothing I've ever seen before! I like how the story is told with the touches of a Death Eater, but I like even more how brainwashed they all are. Of course if you grow up hearing stories like that and seeing your parents serve Voldemort, you'd think it's natural. They weren't all evil, as is shown in the love the father obviously feels for his son. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I\'m glad you liked this. Yes, I tried to show that all Death Eaters aren\'t evil. In their own minds, they are right. Really, they\'re just like the Order members, fighting for a cause that they believe in. Plus, I thought it would be interesting to think about the story of Voldie\'s \"death\" through the eyes of his followers. Hmmm...I hope that made sense. It\'s pretty late here. Anyway, thanks again for the review! :D
Power Trip by SeaIsleWitch
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It was well known that the last two carriages of the Hogwarts Express were used exclusively by the Slytherins. In a House ruled by politics and power, where you sat in those carriages made all the difference. This is a Marauder-era story, focusing on Slytherin House.
Pairings: Lucius/Narcissa, Bellatrix/Rodolphus, Andromeda/?
Other main characters: Severus Snape, Rabastan LeStrange and Regulus Black
Gen/humour/bit of romance (Complete)
Date: 05/12/07 Title: Chapter 1: Power Trip
:D Of course he would be asked to stay! I really like your portrayal of "Slytherin politics"! The hierarchy and traditions make for a great fic, and I enjoyed your portrayal of the various characters and their relationships and places in the hierarchy!
Storm of Darkness by dashofmagic
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: After the long fight, after all of their hard work, it is over. Voldemort has triumphed, and the Wizarding world has been thrown into darkness. Ginny is the servant of the Malfoys, her free will sucked away from her. Ron is forced to join the Death Eaters, threatened with his family's lives. Hermione is taken prisoner by creatures of the night. But, far away, weak and barely alive, is the one who can pull them out of the storm...if love can survive the challenge.
Date: 12/30/06 Title: Chapter 9: The Safety of One's Company
What an interesting post-"final" war fic! I really like it so far!
I like how the fates of the individuals are different, yet they're all plausible and all horrible! I hope Hermione is human again soon, though. It must be awful for her to know who and what she is, and still have to kill for food.
Anyway, I really like your story! The characters stay IC, and the plot is very original yet realistic! Also, your writing is great, and you have delightfully few glaring mistakes of any kind. No glaring ones, actually, just a few typos.
Yeah... I really like this story! I can't wait for the next update! The suspense is killing me... :D
Date: 01/07/07 Title: Chapter 10: Dimming Light
No!!! Wait... Hermione or Harry can order her not to, right? ... *is nervous* Or one of them can order her to not take orders from Narcissa or Draco... would that work?
Anyway... I liked this chapter! Ginny and Harry united... :D So far, this story is so suspenseful! I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Handfasted and Honeymooning by Slian Martreb
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Sirius and Remus attempt to get married. In three parts and two chapters. Written for the Summer Weddings challenge (number one) on the boards by Slian Martreb of Ravenclaw House
Date: 08/23/06 Title: Chapter 2: Honeymooning
Cute. I loved the handfasting! I'm not sure if the "adutlish" scenes were really neccessary, but it is your story after all. Anyway... I have given up hope of my fic winning anything after reading this one. :( But still, best of luck on the contest! :D
Author's Response:
Thanks so much
I do feel that those scenes were necessary; it is, after all, a slash marriage and that is one of the things (among many) that drives the pairing.
(Yes, Remus, I know. You and Sirius have a very deep and meaningful relationship that transcends sex. *yapyapyap*
Oh, don\'t do that! That\'s just silly. You should never abandon, throw away, dismiss anything you write no matter how silly it seems.
Thanks!
