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.

Harry Potter and the Seventh Search by snufflesismyidol
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Harry is getting ready to fight. With trials along the way, Harry will have to make Voldemort mortal before the final battle. Many ships going on in here...
Date: 10/10/05 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter Three - The Wedding
I rarely ever get to be a first reviewer! I'm excited. Okay, So the wedding was beautiful!! Harry is wrapping his head around everything and he gets to be with Ginny!!! YAY! Ron and Hermione hints are good..as always. My only problem would have been the sudden appearance and acceptance of Percy.. but besides that it was excellent. I'm hopeful for the next chapter and hopefully some Harry/ Ginny communication :D
Author's Response: Yes, I've got some complaints about Percy, but a conflict will arise!
Thanks for reading.
Date: 11/18/05 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter Five - Reunited
YES! He did it! and Ginny said Okay..well in a round about way..and Ron is with Hermione and ..YAY! This is great. The protective spell was a nice thought. I like the fact that Mr and Mrs Weasley approve and are all fussy and cute about the whole thing. Very nice! :)
Date: 10/31/05 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter Four - Murder at the Ministry
A very clever chapter indeed. Soo the death eaters were looking for something that had been at Grimauld Place..wasn't that locket by any chance? Well I guess we will find out wont we. AND finally Harry is going to talk to Ginny...well he better.. I mean they are re-locating to somewhere safe he has no reason not to be with her now! Poor Molly though...it would be awful knowing that someone you love could die at any moment :( I would also like to say that your article was well written :) I liked that you had witnesses with explanation to how they werent killed. It seemed like an article they would put in the daily prophet ..with them asking the man if he regretted hiding and having the continued story on pg '' whatever. Very good job! *10*
Date: 09/26/05 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One – The Farewell
Fantastic start! Everyone was in character and I'm very glad to see Harry feels bad for hurting Ginny..and so he should! But I'm sure he will make up for it :D Well i'd better go read chapter 2!
Date: 09/26/05 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter Two - The Burrow
Ron and Hermione sitting in the tree...well you get the drift.. O the part with bill and the baseball bat was rather amusing! isn't Ginny the sweetest and Harry after everything he's been through and he can't be with the one person he truly loves...its depressing...Great writing though. I look forward to the update.
Author's Response: thanks for reviewing both chapters! ch. 3 is in queue
Get One Thing Straight, I'm Not by LadyLupin827
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: The comedy of how Remus and Sirius got together in their fourth year.
Date: 10/12/05 Title: Chapter 2: James' Judgment
Brilliant! It's a shame James is the only rational thinker at the moment.. *sigh* Anyway favourite moments!! "A bread crumb" HA ..I must admit that was totally random....and...the end ..when Sirius has this speech about Remus being mentally 'delicate' and James is just like.. 'Ever think you might fancy him?' That was great!! I know you wrote the story and all but I like to repeat my fave bits ...so yea. Aww I really can't wait to see how this pans out. Oh and a tutor.. I bet it's Snivellus .. but meh who really knows hey.. well besides you. Okay.. so Awesome! chapter *10*..Oh and Remus owes Sirius now..that should be interesting. Okay ..I'm done.
Author's Response: I absolute adore it when people quote their favourite parts, so THANK YOU! I love randomness, so the bread crumb bit was entertaining for me to write. Remy and Siri are both wont to daydream about each other. Remy has a great daydream next chapter! *giggles* 10? YIPPEE!
Date: 10/22/05 Title: Chapter 4: Sirius' Seduction
Great :) I think if you left it there it would be lovely but I'm not fussed either way and by the looks of it your other fans want the 'action' ha. Anyway favourite funny moments (besides the bitch line) were 'assuring himself that it was a very manly skip' because Sirius is O so manly.... 'Why Evans doesn't worship me I'll never understand' because it is that attitude which is the reason why James wont score Lily till seventh year...AND... 'forcing himself not to glance below Sirius' leather belt.'..because it was quite raunchy and hilarious. So there you go.. fantastic work and Ill check back later to see if we get one more chapter :D *10*
Author's Response: I am so grateful and happy when peaople quote the parts they like! I actually didn't intend for 'Why Evans doesn't worship me I'll never understand' to be funny; just to show James' arrogance, but I've had comments on other sites that people think tis amusing also. Imagine my surprise and pleasure of being humourous without meaning to!
Date: 01/27/06 Title: Chapter 5: Pure Pleasure
Phwoar ..that was almost too hot to handle! Your other reviewers are going to be totally satisified. I assure you....O and Congrats! on a successful first 'intimately' written chapter :)
Author's Response: YAY! Many thanks, winky123!
Date: 10/09/05 Title: Chapter 1: Remus' Recollection
I think it's great so far! I will find it interesting following this fic, I havent read a same sex fic before... But it looks like it will be interesting and hilarious! I loved Remus' lines... for example : "I prefer the term physically wounded," answered Remus.... it was good how you slipped those lines in and where James mistakes Shakespeare and such...very amusing. Will add this to favourites and keep an eye out for updates. Excellent!
Author's Response: Thanks! I try to keep everyone IC, but still amusing! *cries for joy at her fic being on a fave list*
Date: 10/14/05 Title: Chapter 3: Counseling Comrade
Awww Remus is crushing..and having raunchy daydreams hehe. I totally didn't expect Kingsley as a tutor...but hey..who would? But besides it being unexpected it was cool I mean who doesn't love to limbo HA! (again with the randomness, I love it) I thought it was just cute when Sirius says, "Besides, I don't even know which way he swings." I wasn't expecting that, so it was funny :) Poor Prongs can't catch a break with Lily...ah well. Anyway looking forward to whatever happens next! *10*
Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to write such an in depth review. I can tell you're extremely into the fic and I cannot express how much that means to me! I knew everybody would be caught totally off gaurd by Kingsley being the tutor. Not many of my stories have unexpected twists, thus that was enjoyable to write. This is 4th year and Prongs and Lily didn't get together until 7th year so don't anticipate anything happening between them.
Date: 04/18/06 Title: None
Oh! That was an excellent chapter. I don't think I have ever read a marauder era fic where James and Sirius start as enemies. It's very interesting. The mistaken attack on Severus was done excellently too. What a way to make an enemy. :)
Another Plane of Existence by cor_leonis
Rated: Professors •Summary: It's nearly the end of his fifth year, and Severus has just experienced the most embarrassing and lamentable moment in his life. At a time where the wizarding world is becoming unhinged, he must deal with a few unexpected events that will change his life forever.
Date: 04/21/06 Title: Chapter 5: No Socialite
That was interesting indeed. I have never actually put alot of thought into why Severus pursued the Dark Lord. The Dark Arts I could understand but not Lord Voldemort himself.
You handled the chapter well. Naturally Lord Voldemort would be a very motivational speaker. He would have to be at the start.
I am thoroughly enjoying the back story to Severus as well, his family interaction and home life. As for Tobias' dialect, I wasn't put off at all. The chapter still flowed well.
One more chapter and I am all caught up. Excellent!
Author's Response: It\'s still a mystery, but I think a lot of it has to do with the need for acceptance and a thirst to prove oneself. That, however, will come later. Voldemort and Dumbledore are the most difficult for me to write. I\'d much rather take on the minor characters. You mentioned not being put off by Tobias\' dialect, and that\'s a relief. I\'m finding it quite a pain, but if it comes off all right, then perhaps it\'s worth it. I\'m really glad you like the story--thank you for reviewing.
Date: 04/20/06 Title: Chapter 3: The Problem With Fate
You know, the thought of Lily finding out that Snape was a half-bood never even occurred to me.
You sure made it easy for me to feel sorry for him. Especially described in that particular attire. A charity shop indeed. It seems the 'new' sets of clothes wont be much better.
Talking about trivial things such as clothing, I did rather enjoy this little reference, 'She looked, Severus decided, absolutely ridiculous in the hideous ensemble.' Oh, if only he knew. Hehe.
I am rather looking forward to what happens when Severus returns for sixth-year. For a minute there, I thought LIly was going to be boarding the same train as him. I'm quite glad that didn't happen.
Anyway to finish off my little review I just have to comment on this line, 'His progress was slowed when he found himself on the heels of a very large and very slow old man.' Isn't it rather annoying when that happens. I know I'm impatient enough for that to bug the heck out of me.
Author's Response: Of course, we don\'t know if Lily knew the truth, but this certain part works into a few other ideas that I have for future chapters. And I\'m really glad you caught on to the Snape/Grandmother Longbottom reference (Augusta, I think? I can\'t remember off the top of my head). I added that for my own amusement, so I\'m glad others caught it, too. And by the way, being stuck behind slow people bothers me as well, and Severus doesn\'t strike me as a patient person, either. (Except, perhaps, when he\'s brewing potions.) Thanks again for leaving such a thoughtful review. I appreciate it.
Date: 06/04/06 Title: Chapter 7: The Draught of Living Death
The ninnies that think Snape is part vampire...genious. I loved the comment from Rosier too, "You won’t be thinking that later, when you’re lonely and cold in your bed.” I doubt Severus cared much, but it makes me wonder how many nights he did have to spend cold and lonely in his bed.
The idea of Slughorn selling items on the 'black market' is quite interesting. I can't eblieve I didn't think of it before. Especially after his drunken night in HBP.
I am so excited about this new feeling towards Lily. I loved the mention of amortentia smells, I think I would have been embarrassed if I had accidently told everyone what appealed to me.
I like that you have incorporated the notes we learn of in HBP and that you have given credit to both Lily and Snape. It makes sense really, with all the praise about Lily that Slughorn was giving. Fabulous.
Author's Response: What a great review, thanks so much winky! I like that you found the vampire!Snape amusing, because I get a kick out of that theory...so ridiculous. And I do wonder how honest Slughorn is--granted, he\'s one of the most pleasant Slytherins we\'ve met thus far, but he is a Slytherin, and I have a feeling it goes far beyond his little \"collection\" of students. It\'s funny about the Amortentia--I was all excited to have it the very first lesson, thinking that in HBP it hadn\'t been introduced until later. However, when I went to do some research, I realized it had been in the first lesson. Oh well. I guess those sorts of things just stick with me, even if I don\'t realize it! And yes, Lily and Snape\'s collaborations will continue...I\'ve got a few tricks up my sleeve yet! Thanks again for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review.
Date: 04/19/06 Title: Chapter 1: Ravages of Spirit
A marvellous start. Severus is very high on my favourite character list and I think you have done his character justice. His thoughts and decisions were dead perfect to the way I think he would have acted in fifth year.
I also like that you have set up your supportive characters. Right from the start I can already see that all the Slytherins mentioned have their own personalities and quirks.
Well seeing as I am dying to know what comes next I think I will go read the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you, winky. I\'ve really enjoyed creating different personalities for the Slytherins--for once, I\'m really glad JK hasn\'t given us too much information--it gives me room to play. I really appreciate that you\'ve read this and taken the time to review. Thanks so much.
Date: 10/23/06 Title: Chapter 9: Ever Swiftly Moving
Another interesting chapter. I really do enjoy it when you add in bits and pieces from canon like Severus' 'hobby'.
His relationship with Lily is progressing wonderfully. To me it seems you are working at just the right pace. Keeping us readers interested without rushing into anything. The Veritiserum project is interesting and either I have forgotten or it has yet to be mentioned who Snape plans to use it on. Either way I will find out eventually.
There is only one thing I find confusing and it is hardly your fault. It is just unfortunate that Lily's last name is Evans and Rosier's first name is Evan. I've had a bit of trouble remembering who is in the conversation at times :S
I am loving Severus interaction with the Slytherins. I thought it quite amusing when Severus caught out Florence and the beginning of the chapter. It's also good to see Severus and Regulus gradually getting along.
I wonder what his mother is up to??
Well keep up the good work. I always look forward to the next chapter. :)

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Two years after graduating from Hogwarts, Hermione went to Australia, for Healer Training, on Ron's promise that he would wait for her. Now, three years after, Hermione decides to finally go back to him, although not everything has stayed the same.
the end has come! thanks to everyone for their support!
Date: 11/13/05 Title: Chapter 1: Impulses
OMG RON!! What a jerk!! He said he'd wait! that lieing conniving ..grr..he had better redeem himself .. and Harry gone.. :( at least he did what he vowed he took Voldemort with him! and Lily the little toddler how gorgeous! Gosh this is going on my favourites I'm excited to know what happens next! Fabulous.
Author's Response: Thanks. This is my most detailed review yet <:)
Date: 02/21/06 Title: Chapter 2: Tears and Cheese Sanwiches
Well...he has redeemed himself a little bit. At least he had a logical reason behind him being a jerk. But all the same. I can't wait to see what happens when he finally confronts her. 'Oppugno' sound like a good spell to anyone?? I think it does..yes yes. Well done on this chapter :)
Author's Response: yes, nice spell. well done. haha
The Way It's Supposed To Be by JessicaH
Rated: •Summary: Hermione's world is shattered when Ron dies. Feeling alone and abandoned as Harry and Ginny find support in each other, she finds the comfort she needs from an unlikely source.
Date: 11/26/05 Title: Chapter 1: Learning to Live Again
This is my first Hermione/Fred and or George fiction. Actually, I have never read a fiction focused on the romance side of Fred and George....*wonders why?* So yes.. I think this chapter was an excellent start. It was awful that Hermione had to lose Ron and then feel like she was losing Fred and George. I loved your description of Hermione and what she was going through because it was really in depth and I could almost feel her pain. On the other hand I had to laugh at the twins reaction to Mrs Weasley talking about them being married haha. Wonderful *10*
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the nice review. I'm quite fond of this one myself, and I like exploring the 'what if' aspect of it.
Date: 01/29/06 Title: Chapter 3: Conclusions
Gah! What an ending...that was totally unexpected. I had all my money on George for a while there and then BAM! It was wonderful though. All very emotional and accepting.. and kinky thoughts creeping into my mind. yikes. But being the nice person I am I will slip a tiny (poor krum) but still. OHHH and the whole Angelina and Kate being lesbian thing. Never ever would have seen that coming. Nice twist. Very helpful to Hermione too. :) I hope you enjoyed writing it as much as I enjoyed reading it.
Author's Response: *giggle* I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, and yes I did enjoy writing this quite a lot. As for the kinky continuation...see my LJ (http://millieweasley.livejournal.com).
