All right, just for the fun of it, here is a little bit about me. Yes, I write HP stories. I do this as a bit of a break while I work on my own fiction. Yes, I think that J.K. Rowling rocks! To put it mildly. And thank you, Ms. Rowling, for letting me play with you toys!

Actually, I don't write YA on my own, which is part of what makes this so fun. It's a diversion, when I don't have to worry about what my characters are doing. Need a cure for writer's block? Borrow some vividly created characters, and plot with plenty of room for footwark!

In my spare time, I'm a starving artist. Once upon a time I ran, played basketball and tennis, and generally had a life. Oh, to have dreams! No, I'm not married, nor do I have any kids. Speaking of elusive dreams...ah well.

Thanks for dropping by, and my best wishes!

LOL! This explains a lot!:

Now, you can't have a perfectly good cliffhanger, then spoil it in the last sentence. ;)

I realized how much I was emotionally engaged in this story (it's so OOC it's taken on a life of it's own), when I read this sentence: "Well, she was the head of Gryffindor for a reason." --and started to cry. I know it was supposed to be funny, but it was such a poignant and penetrating observation as well. Thanks

A/N: I forshadowed the situation Ron and Hermione are in. Did anyone picked up on that?

Ages ago I knew that Mione was preggers. ;)

I'm not terribly okay with the irresponsibele sex (resulting in a pregnancy), but I like your story. Thank you.

Why, exactly, is everyone overreacting to Ron saying that Luna was "weird"? She was acting weird, and he just didn't understand what the difference was. Was that really worth George hurting him with a Bludger, or Ginny having a screaming fit? It was Luna's choice to use such a defense mechanism, after all.

So how long before we get to see secret agent Percy? Or will it just be his child?

Persephone, the Health Instructor, had potions ingredients?

I'm still shaking my head over this story, but I'm curious to see where you're going.

I still don't understand why Abigail is so extremely upset that Harry is mad at her. She'd have to be more fragile inside than Hermione--which is saying an awful lot.

Author's Response: Igo Retla, you\'ve hit the jackpot about Abigail. Thanks for your review! (:

I'm a little confused. If Rowena is so intelligent, so clever, why is she making such blatant mistakes?

And hey, I don't agree about the mirror (if it's Erised), but it's your story. Have fun!

Otherwise, I'm enjoying the story. Thanks!

Author's Response: I would say that even anger can blind people to they point that they would make \"such blatant mistakes\". And about the mirror... you\'re really smart and observant. (: Thanks for your review!

I like the way that you're shaping this, but I wish that Harry had spent a bit more time at his parent's graves, drawn a bit more meaning from it. It was the anniversary, after all.

A little typo, "placed" : How the charm had been place in his pocket was beyond Harry.

Author's Response: Yeah, I realized my typo after I\'d already sent it in. Whenever I do my next comb-through of the grammar in this fic, I\'ll be sure to change that, along with other things. Once Harry got to his parents\' graves, I was unsure of how far to go with it, without it becoming too...I don\'t know the words for what I want to say. It was a decision I made, maybe too hastily, but I feel that what\'s done is done. I don\'t intend to go back and write more about it. I\'ve got more Horcruxes to track down, now (though I will divulge that I know exactly where Harry will find each one)! Thanks for your review! --Christine

This story got so much better written as it progressed. Congratulations, and thanks!

Author's Response: Thank you! I really have learned so much while writing this story. I can\'t look at the first chapter without cringing. Thank you! Lisa xxx

Thjanks!!! Now I'm going to want to know what's in the box. I feel like a cat! The D.A. Back? Nice move...but I think that Minerva might have referred to it as "Dumbledore's Army", or, "the organization known as..."

I'm really looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: LOL, you will find out in the next chapter! You\'ll just have to wait until then :D Ahh, it seems you can characterise MM better than I can - I totally agree now you say that. I will change it ASAP - Thanks! Lisa xxx

I see why you apologized for how it ended. :D

Are you going to be able to finish before DH?

As always, you make the characters come alive.

Oh...and you have a typo:

"...of a bight yellow spell"

Thanks-I'll reread later!

Author's Response: hehe. I thought you should have some warning! And no, I don\'t think this is going to be finished before DH, though I do have a full plan finished so I can\'t be accused of plagerism if something, amazingly, is similar to the real book 7. Welcome to the world of Alternate Universe! Thank you! Lisa xxx
