Questioning the Freak and the Whale by Phenioxsong22

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Lily has planned this meeting from the day she and James began dating. First, there would be the greetings between James and her parents. Then, dinner would come. This would be closely followed by a time to just chat and have her parents and boyfriend become acquainted with each other. Everything would be perfect. But this all changes after her sister’s insufferable boyfriend shows up, “Black” magic goes haywire, and her parents don’t return from ‘their honeymoon all over again’ until the next day. Couples battle it out, and it seems no one will make it out in one piece after three arm wrestling matches, a bounding black dog, and an angry exchange. This meeting is certainly not going as planned...

Chapter 7 Updated!!

Really good start. I like the way your write Petunia and Lily's relationship, it's really believable. Can't wait to see what havoc Sirius will bring...and I would love it if you could take a look at my very first fanfic on here, James/Lily too, and tell me what you think too, it's good to have other people's opinion's...

Author's Response: I agree-other people\'s input helps a great deal! Thanks for your review, and I will be sure to check out your story some time soon!

Wow! That's so good! I love reading poetry, I just can't write any, lol. Fantastic job!

That letter was amazingly done! Great job. It almost had me in tears!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! It took me awhile to get into my \"Ron mode\" and that was how I think he would write a love letter. Not so flowy, but full of hidden meanings. Thanks a million!



Crown of the North by Grace has Victory

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Two years after Voldemort’s fall, Remus Lupin plays at teaching, while Ariadne MacDougal prepares for a career in apothecarism. But what is the price of choosing what is right over what is easy? And is Caradoc Dearborn really dead?

Yes, poor Ariadne. It's so sad she is questioning all of firm beliefs. But I can understand why. Great job!

Author's Response: Thanks, Gin Drinka. Trauma is so often part of the landscape during adolescence, and forming a stable world-view is a necessary part of the growing-up process. Thank you for keeping up the reviews, GhV

I like the way you show really easily how flawed everyone is, and yet how great they can still be. I wonder what are the mysterious potions. Poor Ariadne. It doesn't sound like a fun job, lol.

Author's Response: Dear GD, Ariadne is stlil wondering about the mysterious potions too! I wouldn\'t be able to write about a perfect character because I don\'t know enough about perfection (being imperfect myself). While Jigger is something of a nightmare employer, he is actually helping Ariadne by keeping her busy at this stage of her life. Whatever else happens (SPOILER AHEAD) she will beocme a competent apothecary. Thanks for reviewing, GhV

I knew it, I knew it and I knew it! I like Remus's college life, it sounds interesting. And I can't wait to see what he tells Ariadne. Hehe...

Author's Response: Hehehe indeed, it was a bad cliffhanger, wasn\'t it? How do you know he\'ll say anything to Ariadne? He certainly *wants* to run away right now. Thanks for reviewing, GhV

Yay! It's finally here! Now I have to read it, lol!

Author's Response: Sorry about the wait - Christmas has slowed everyone down, including me. Updating should be speedy now. GhV

Ohhh....I think something went wrong. This is just like the first chapter. Edit it quick! And by the way, thanks so much for reading my story!

Author's Response: Thanks for pointing it out. Not sure what went wrong, but it should be fixed now. GhV

Ohh...I cant wait for more. Im so glad theres a sequel! and glad its like a love story. I love love stories. Lol, mybe you could check out my very first story and tell me what you think! Id love your opinion!

Author's Response: Dear GD, Congratulations on being published! I\'ve written a short review for your story, which has hooked me in and left me waiting for more. Yes, \"Crown\" will be a love story. Thanks for reviewing - hope to see you in the next chapter. GhV

Her parents get on my nerves, but I guess they are supposed to. I am glad of the hints becoming bigger. And that would be so great if Veleta were still alive! I'll just see.

Author's Response: Dear Gin Drinka, Her parents get on my nerves too. Ariadne is more patient than both of us, because she understands that they do love her really. She\'ll have to wait a while to find out about Veleta, but she has Remus to occupy her meanwhile. Thanks for reviewing, GhV

my goodness, the nerve of that greasy git! Lol, but I did think it was very interesting, and of course, well done. I love the way she worries so much about Remus.

Author's Response: Snape surprised me that time - never thought he\'d make a Right to Life speech! But Ariadne gave him the contempt he deserved. She\'ll find a way to protect Remus. Love, GhV

It is really good, the way you write how he is trying to convince himself not to get attached. But I think he shouldn't deny himself the only source of happiness in his poor life. ANd apparently so does Ariadne, lol. I wonder what happens next...

Author's Response: Dear GD, These are the temptations of maturity. A less decent person wouldn\'t understand what the issues are anyway. Ariadne would understand them if he discussed them with her, but she\'d refuse to let them worry her. What happens next? I\'m afraid events make their logical progression. Thanks for the reviews, GhV

Date: 02/15/07 Title: Chapter 9: The Enemy who Lied

Ha! Yes! That was so so so sweet, the way she said it. I like the way it doesn't embarass her, or at least she doesn't show it. I agree with Valintinia and hope Remus will not succeed in doing what he is trying.

Author's Response: Dear GD, Embarrassment is definitely not on Ariadne\'s agenda. She knows that Remus is diffident around her, but she hasn\'t really grasped that he didn\'t know how she felt about him. As to whether she can control his wild ideas ... well, she has a great deal of emotional influence on him, but not very much experience of life. Thanks for reviewing, GhV

Ok, just so you know, I haven't up and died, I just spent a long time on this ship and couldn't acess interenet. It is vacation here in Brazil, so I went away a long time. I have come back now and am very happy to see there is a lot of this story for me to read. Lol, thanks!

Author's Response: Welcome back, Gin Drinka! I hope I can meet your expectations. GhV

Great chapter. I like the way Ariadne's confession came out...can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Dear GD, Do you sense that the net is closing in around Remus after all? Thanks for reviewing, GhV

All of those letters were fantastic. You got all of their desires across, and yay! Ariadne's going to be happy again. So's Remus, of course. The flowers of surrender...that was so wonderful!

Author's Response: Dear GD, Always say it with flowers! I wish RL men knew this. But always say it verbally too, because women love words. Thank you for reviewing, GhV

Date: 01/11/07 Title: Chapter 2: The Man who Disappeared

OH my! This is so good. How mysterious, I wonder about Veleta. Poor Remus, did he bite Caradoc?

Author's Response: Dear GD, Remus couldn\'t have bitten Caradoc because he remembers where he was that night - in Northamptonshire, not Perthshire. But there certainly seems to be a werewolf connection somewhere. As for the mysterious face at the window, you\'ll find out about it when Ariadne does! Thanks for reviewing, GhV
