I am 23 years old and I still love Harry Potter and I cherish the fact that so many brilliant writers continue to bless me with their fanfiction by submitting their ideas each and every day.
Was searching for you latest submission...hasn't made it up yet but came across this instead...and..HA!!!! was it funny!...seriously... *walks out of the room whistling barbie girl*
Author's Response: Yeah, Yessir That's My Baby is still in queue. I think it's been in queue longer than anything else I've submitted. AHHHHHHH!!!! Glad you liked my little ol' oneshot!
I can definately relate to Hermione's feelings...and it seems yours too. This one-shot was very well written..but then things from the heart usually are! *10* and i hope this fic did help you over come what it was meant to... :)
Author's Response: thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it despite the depressing topic...and yeah it always helps to get things down on paper...thanks for reading and reviewing =)
Very amusing.. Your just voicing what so many hp fanatics were thinking...and adding some extremely funny extras..I love it! ...Uh, whatever happened to magic outside school being illegal?... had to laugh because it's the first thing you think when you watch it!! ...and I loved the 'You go find her in the atmosphere and put her back!' line, and my other favourite lines have already been mentioned in a review..so yea.. hehehe...all in all was hilarious..I look forward to the next scenes :)
Author's Response: *squeals in a way reminiscent of a pig* A new review! ...I'm so glad you liked it. I just submitted the second act yesterday, so keep checking for it. :D
This is a very powerful one-shot indeed. It is rare to come across a fiction that has you hooked in the first chapter, but this is one of them. I think that what had me so interested is the idea of seeing a side of Hermione I never get to see. Her feelings about her family. I have thought about it before. About how in almost everything I read, and sometimes when I am writing, that Hermione seems so distant from her parents because of the wizarding world. It was so lovely to finally see a connection with her 'Muggle' side, in this case with her Gran. You conveyed emotion so brilliantly. Especially when she is writing in her Journal. I can pin point the exact sentence where I started crying too... it was when I read : 'I spent precious minutes staring at those knobs. They were red. Or white. I don't remember. They were there.'... It just reminded me of how much precious time we can waste on such silly things only to remember those things so vaguely. I am so glad I came across this and although what I have said may be just repeats of previous reviews I just wanted you to know that one more person in the world appreciates writers like you. Fabulous :)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! It totally made my night!
It is funny, isn't it, how much time we can spend staring at something totally inane and then not even really remember them? Yet still I seem to spend an awful lot of time doing that. I guess I'm not the only one ;) Anyway, thanks for such a lovely review. I really appreciate knowing that people read and even like my stories.
*Does the first reviewer happy dance * :) moving on...AHHHH he did it, he did it , he did it!! FINALLY! ....That was really cute...and the part where they had chalk thrown at them was quite amusing. It had better NOT be a dream..or I will cry. Ohh I cant wait till Harry finds out. The first paragraph by the way..was my favourite. Your description of Hermione surrounded by books and her suppressed feelings was really well done. Congrats! :D
Author's Response: *does the happy author dance* Nope, it wasn't a dream! Ron finally puts that Gryffindor courage to use! And I really enjoyed writing that chalk scene! Hehehe. Thanks a bunch!! :-)
WHOOP! Its out in the open...hanging out for everyone to see. I can't wait for the next chapter...confrontation...Ron is finally gonna do it (hopefully Harry does have telekinesis because Ron had better not do any of those things!..well except maybe blushing or something..as long as its in moderation) Also..I was totally shocked...RONS breakfast went COLD...when does that happen..ever!! I mean honestly...very serious moment right there!! So anyway that was great! need more... also.. YAY IM THE FIRST REVIEWER! :P
Author's Response: Hahaha! I laughed so loud when I read what you said about Ron's breakfast going cold; my mom looked at me weird. Lol. I didn't even realize I did that. But it so works...Hermione is more important than food. It makes you just wanna go Awwwwwwwwwwww.
Absolutely marvellous! Everyone was sooo in character especially Ron at the end I could just picture him laying there thinking to himself. O and I LOVE the chapter title it rocks. :) Will add this to my favourites :)
Author's Response: Thank you. :) I just figured that everyone had serious chapter titles, then "Emo Harry" popped into my head. Its about time someone called him emo. LOL.
Fabulous... It so good to see how in character you keep the trio..I love it...
Two lines that made me crack up for this chapter...
She then told the voice to go to -- well, a warmer place than Hogwarts –
..and...
But, suddenly, Ron stopped eating. Which meant either a bomb went off or someone had him at gunpoint
Author's Response: Yeah. The only problem I'm having is Harry's character. In the next chapter he'll be a lot more like himself I promise. I'm glad you liked it. I didn't really plan for it to come out funny, it just happened that way. I'm glad you like it. :)
CHAPTER 14 IS UP! CHAPTER 15 IS IN QUEUE!
Fantastic! I couldn't help but laugh everytime Charlie mentions using the name VOLDEMORT!! It was just funny for some reason. The spell was really cool too...haha cool..get it..okay okay I know what your gonna say.. 'stay off the red cordial weirdo' I can't wait to see the underlying information between the house elves ..should be very interesting :) I thought Dobby giving Zeppie a hat was really nice..(I wonder ..did Hermione ever find out that Dobby took them all and not the other house elves?) The BALL! WHHEE I love balls...as in the date, dancing, music, feast kind...er..yea..Anyway I'm glad Cindra is okay with going with Harry..I mean all in the name of unity..but I was pleased when she was happy to address Ginny...even if she was a bit posh.. Now the DRAGON..o wouldnt it be so funny if it was the deflatable kind..as in a big dragon balloon..I know its very unlikely..but how cool would that be!! Well it will be excellent no matter what because you never disappoint! So in conclusion, I will be waiting for the next chapter.. yay*10*
Author's Response: CHarlie is just trying to instill a sense of courage in his students. Glad you thought it was funny though! Yes, Cindra is a bit posh and stuck upish. You'll have to wait and see how the ball goes! Chapter 9 I'm thinking. A dragon balloon huh? That would be funny, but what if it popped?
Awesome :) Fred and George rocked...especially walking in on naughty Ron! (that little devil hehehe) The ring from Ginny was sweet..very sweet and I like Harry's response to it :) I was wrong about the pensieve though..bother....hehe but Dumbledore got him one!!! SO THAT WAS COOL! I want to know what Ron got Hermione... well just means ill hafta wait for the next update...but it will be worth it :P *10* ...and I WON A REVIEW MEDAL WOOO!!! ok im done :P
Author's Response: Yeah, I like to have Ron be a little naughty, it's fun :) And who better to walk in on him than Fred and George ;) You'll find out about Ron's present to Hermione once they get to school, which I believe will happen in the next chapter. Glad you liked Harry's Pensieve! I should actually be updating on this tomorrow. I've been trying to go back and forth between this and Baby, but chapter three of Baby has officially been in queue for a week now, and I have chapter 4 of it all ready to submit. So I might as well work on this one again, since Chelsea is such an awesome mod and always gets my chapters validated so quickly.
Well I came straight here to look for the next chapter...and here it was! I had a quick glance over the summaries for the previous chapter just to remind me where we were up to but after reading this chapter I remembered all the important details. Anyway, you never fail to produce an excellent chapter and I am so glad that Luna will be okay. I noticed Draco is still arguing with himself hehe and that Luna..she never fails to be straightforward and awkwardly honest does she? :) I believe the Unity Ball was quite a success! I had to love this line ..'We’re not ALL junior Death Eaters in the making, you know.' Ha! You made a very good point there using Blaise. The DA meeting..which I guess is now called the OotD meeting? .. was wonderful and you mentioned the wands!! Rons proposal.. very well done with his hesitancy and Hermiones playful ignorance to what he was saying. The ring was beautiful! Marvellous! Cannot wait for further updates! (Oh and more Morgan next chapter..what a treat!)
Author's Response: And yet another of my faithful reviewers! You guys make me proud...still coming back to read even after I left you hanging at the edge of a cliff for months! Glad you liked the Unity Ball. The next Unity event will take place in chapter 12 and involves a Christmas shopping trip. That won't be the last mention I make of the wands, and though the ring is beautiful, you'll see at the beginning of chapter 11 that it comes with a cost. Morgan will have a bit of an out of body experience in the next chapter as well. Look at me...giving out all these hints. I hope it will only make you want to read more. I'll be sure to give your fic a r&r!!
Excellent and very informative chapter. I gave to agree with Sunshine1313..Charlie does seem like a cool candidate. I loved your sorting hat song even better than the first! It flowed well and you mixed in the qualities of the houses with the dangers to come..EXCELLENT! I was so happy when I read abotu everyones achievements and appointments..continuing with the DA is great! and they will have to choose another name...The Draco/Luna stuff was very cute! and Ron is very cheeky :) 'Care to join me?' mwahaha...okies well this was great..can't wait for the next chapter! *10*
Author's Response: Again, another reviewer with a terrific guess! Thank you so much about the Sorting Hat song! This one was much harder to write! Yes, Ron is quite the naughty fellow in this fic. Don't worry, more naughty Ron to come! :)
Oh my gosh...are the Blue-Crested Willawomps endangered... :O Why didn't someone inform me sooner!! Something has to be done...also.. Cant wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Yes they are! With the log in glitch gone, I thought about disbanding that club and starting a Save the Blue-Crested Willawomps club. What do you think?

Author's Response: :)
Yay an update ...go Chelsea for being a cool mod..and go you for being an awesome updater!..Im heading to read and review the update on baby next I promise..I know its there! Ok lets see first line I loved was ...'Next time you try it I'll hex you, love of my life'...hehehe ginny rocks. I, just like all your other reviewers, like the new Draco. Im really glad you had him arguing about joining the chess game... its so much more realistic with him making an 'agreement' than automatically becoming their friend :)... Im looking forward to the Draco/Lune friendship yay!....Gred and Forge rock! my favourite line was..."Yeah, we've got our funerals to plan," to Mrs Weasley hahahaha... Im glad you did this sequel...and I think its a good idea to try and get as much posted before book 6 is released...Ive got it on order I cant wait!!! yay!... My friends have told me Im not allowed to ignore them when the book comes out...hehehehe...anyhoo im heading over to Baby.. *10*
Author's Response: Well, this may be the last review I respond to for the night. The log-in thing is especially terrible tonight. Thanks for all of the lovely comments! I'm glad you liked the Fred and George, and the way I'm slowly moving Draco into his new personality. I'm almost done with chapter 6 (which includes a Sorting Hat song), and hope to get it posted by Sunday night. And I WILL be ignoring anyone who even tries to speak to me while I'm reading HBP. But of course, it will only take me about two days (or less if it's super good) to get it done.
Me again...Im just having a sook because Im so used to quick updates on your story....I hope the mods get to it soooon!!!! *goes n eats tub of icecream to cheer up*
Author's Response: I know, I wish they'd get to it soon! Hopefully before they stop validating before the release of HBP! Just keep watching, hopefully ONE of my things in queue will go through soon!
Me again...Im just having a sook because Im so used to quick updates on your story....I hope the mods get to it soooon!!!! *goes n eats tub of icecream to cheer up*
Author's Response: Whoops! :)
The shirts totally rocked!!! aww Draco/Luna...how loverly. Draco's little 'closer' moment reminded me of the R/Hr moment in POA the movie mwahaha.... and omg...Lucius..scary!! AHHH!! I am so glad Luna and Draco are sticking together though! The Aussie Dragon/Witch was excellent! and Hermione getting jealous HAHA ..using G'day as a farewell was a bit different though but the Aussie slang was still good :) Im Australian :) and I read Accio Chocolate's review...and I believe vegemite is only good in moderation...like very lightly scraped on toast YUM! Anyway back to the story.. Winky and Zeppie..how wonderful! and shes over her little 'problem' thats great. I can't wait for news on Morgan and I hope nothing too terrible happens to Draco or Luna :( YAY *10*
I felt a little guilty this chapter because I know I'm supposed to be worried sick about Hermione and Luna, but Ron and Draco did some of the funniest things especially when Ron tells Harry about why Ginny only wears green knickers. hehe.
Poor Zeppie, I would be scared too if someone started acting like an aeroplane :S
I'm glad they were able to receive their gifts and the Harry/Ginny stuff was ever so fluffy and wonderful.
I thought it was so cute that Hermione owns pajamas with dancing toothbrushes on them.
Lucius is horrid! I wonder what happened to Hermione? I guess I will just have to wait and find out.
Favourite word: 'Snockered' - What a marvellous word!
Favourite line: ''We’re not asposed…sucrost…explosed…we’re not allowed.” :D Genius.
Author's Response: Hey Winky! I was hoping that someone would find drunk Draco and Ron amusing :) Did you like \'snockered\'? I\'m not sure if it\'s a real word or if I made it up. Sounded good though.
I knew something bad was going to happen :( Poor Luna, how awful! I just know that the person behind her 'present' will get whats coming to them!! I absolutely love 'naughty Ron' hehehehehe... It was also very clever for Harry and Ginny to trick Cindra into psyching herself up about freeing Corkey! That house-elf information was so unexpected :O but excellent at the same time! Well except poor Dobby and Corkey. I wonder how Ron and Hermione are going with their 'dates'. As for Morgan, I think she is developing into a wonderful character. Very amusing, especially her 'accidental' sneeze hehehe...on a seperate note I think starting a support group for the Blue- Crested Willawomps is an excellent idea count me in! *10*
