Awww, how sweet... That was a really cute chapter for couples all around. Again I applaud you on your characterization... Excellent tale.
~Juliet
Och... -winces- I'm catching sight of the 15-year old Harry again, the angry, bitter one who was always shouting at everybody... Though you do make me wonder if he will return in book 7. Hmm. Something to be mulled over a hot cup of cider, for certain. Nice star - ' an interesting idea, for sure. Although either you or I seem to have misconstrued the Bat-Bogey hex. I was under the impression that they were, er... Flying bogeys? Nasty, to be sure. But still. Anyhow - I'm ranting. Good start here!
~Juliet
Hmm... That last part seems a bit unlike Hermione, but I do like that touch of inspiration there : "waiting for something to strike her down" was very brilliant. Another great chapter, and a wonderful way to have the story progress, although it seems Ron is not finding it in his schedule to be nice today, is he? ^^
~Juliet
Can any of us understand boys? xD Great chapter here - I like Ron's "what muggles find scary" quip. And you've really added some intrigue as to what Fred and George are up to! Can't wait to find out.
~Juli
Ooh... Great characterization here, and, well, it really is a wonderful chapter again. I had forgotten that Ginny can't use magic yet.
I liked this part a lot:
When she grumbled about the meal, Ginny told Fleur--in a falsely sweet tone--that she could go a few miles up the lane to the Muggle village and use her Veela charms to get dinner. Amusing.
~Juliet
Ooh... The morse code thing is clever. Much intrigue here - Daisy. I like it. Nice and simple.
Good job!
~Juli
Ooh... Intrigue to the utmost. I really like this story - you always have so much mystery, such an exciting tale, and it's different every chapter because you split the charcters up.
One note, though - I don't think you meant for all of the bottom half of the story to be italicised?
~Juli
Author's Response: I fixed it! Thank you for letting me know--AND for the lovely comments! :)
Oh... Poor, poor Ginny.
This one is great (what a surprise! ^^ ). The emotion you put behind the story is so strong, so passionate, that - well, if I was a tissue reader, I'd have flooded the house. It's really an emotional artwork, but it flows so smoothly, so naturally - wonderful. Loved it! Magnifica!
~Juli
Author's Response: *grins again* I\'m becoming rather fond of your reviews. =D
Oh, wow.
There were so many great things in that chapter I can't even begin to list them all.
Hermione's in for a rough year, I take it.
I especially liked these parts:
Oh holy Merlin. This was going to be awkward.
(Don't know why people always use Merlin, but there, it definently fits)
‘No, I find that if I curl my hair that leaves no time for me to paint my nails,’ Oliver said with a straight face.
Sylvester gave a short, bark of a laugh. ‘I like you . . . too bad you're stuffed.’
‘Sorry?’
‘Listen, I’ve been in this office for the past 400 years, and in the past, what, nearly fifty years? There hasn’t been a single Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher that’s lasted more than a year. We haven’t had a death in a fair few years though, not since — ’
‘Quirrel, I know,’ Oliver said, not really disturbed by this. ‘I was here when that happened.’
‘Hold up, I nearly forgot, Barty Crouch junior as good as died, didn’t he? Dementor’s kiss and everything. THAT was an interesting year — I witness a lot, hanging in here.’
‘Well, I’m not planning on dying, so I’ll just have to take my chances, won’t I? So anyway, how do I choose my password?’
‘You pick whatever you like, and then anytime you want to change it, you have to tell me your original password, so I know you’re not an imposter or anything.’
Oliver had never had to pick a password before. He searched around for inspiration, and his glance fell on Hagrid’s cabin towards the other side of the grounds through the window. ‘Umm…..ok, what about “Niffler”?’
Sylvester raised his eyebrows, but swung open. ‘You, know,’ he said, his voice slightly muffled, ‘the password someone picks reveals a lot about their character.’
‘So I’m cute and cuddly?’ said Oliver, laughing, stepping into his apartment....
...‘You go crazy in order to get the treasure,’ came Sylvester’s voice as the portrait shut over the doorway with a click .
He was back in the game.
Just a few of the many awesome components in this masterpiece of a chapter.
And wait! There's more! Must go read the "next".
~Juli
Ooooh, scandalacious.
Lovely story, lady. Lovely story. *nods* I simply adore how you have the portraits talking to each other... They sound so elderly, yet so loveable. And the confrontation was marvelous. Must keep reading. And you keep writing.
~Juli
Another intriguing chapter. I do believe this is a very good fic. I love the use of Dobby - and the oil in the paintings melting is pure genius. I love the portrait-people conversations. Brilliant.
~Juli
Ooooh... I loved that "so you are checking me out" part. Wonderfully written, again... And Tonks's part was marvelous. The ring was perfecto.
Bravissima, yet again.
~Juli
The horcrux was beautifully described... I would have never thought of that, but I love it! This chapter, in fact, this story, was and is amazing. Love it. And the comments on Hermione's knitting... An animal or a sock... Hillarious! You must keep writing.
As to length and updateness of chapters - I like them long, but quick. :) I exist to make life difficult.
And reads to reviews... I would love to know that! They should so post that information somewhere. Maybe it is posted. I'll have to look.
Anyhow... Terrific job!

Author's Response: wow, juli, i just read all of your reviews at once, and i have to say thank you so so so much for your kind words - it\'s reviews like those that are really uplifting! yeah, i love having the portraits as little side characters, it\'s an interesting change from just people, don\'t you think? anyway, i did have the sixth chapter in queue, but it was rejected, so i\'ll have to work a little bit more on that, but i should have it up here soon! thanks again!!!
Written for the Extra Credit Challenge by Cruciatus Love of Slytherin.
Oooh... Love it. Like it, love it, want it... Lovely. If there is one thing I must compliment you on, it is your characterization of Draco... It was perfect. Bravissima!
~Juliet
Author's Response: Thanks. I\'m so glad you enjoyed it!
Urg! Snape! *shudder* Watch - mind you, I'm probably wrong. (as usual) I suppose I'll have to read on and find out. (you already know you're wrong, what's the point of reading onwards?)
A strange thing called curiosity.
~Juli
Author's Response: *smirk* You\'ll find out who it is eventually. I\'m glad I\'m making you want to read on. That\'s a compliment... I think? Thanks for the review!
And watch, it was Sirius.
~Juli
Author's Response: ...maybe.....*smirk*
Woah woah woah.
Not fair... No time to review, hello, goodbye, I'm late for the next chapter!
~Juli
Author's Response: lol! That\'s a creative review! Thanks!
You.
Are.
So.
Mean!
Leaving me here like this, on a cliff, waiting to see - HOW COULD YOU - wanting to read, there's no next button - ARGH!!!
You really must write the next chapter very soon.
~Juli
Author's Response: I\'m sorry for being so utterly cruel. I\'m working on chapter five right now. I\'m glad you like it.
A book of death-day one-shots, put together in this manner because of the prologue. (Otherwise, it might be separate one-shots in a series.) This could be horror or angst, but I thought, as it isn't intentionally morbid, that historical would do best.
Brava... You captured Albus Dumbledore's voice exactly. Characterization is perfecto! I can't wait to read on and see the stories... Great idea, by the way!
