Dear Lily by chloish

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary:

Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs -- These names are known by every person in Hogwarts. These names, and an envelope with a scarlet wax seal bearing the letters: MWPP.

The teachers dread it, the students revel in it...but who are these 'Marauders,' as they are called? That's just it. Nobody knows. Most every prank Hogwarts sees is at the hands of these mysterious Marauders, and the perpetrators always walk free. They could never be caught. You can’t catch phantoms.

Lily Evans is just as curious as the next student as to who these Marauders are, but her curiosity is transformed into a hungry need, when she receives a letter herself from a certain Mr. Prongs. [This story is slightly AU, but more on that in the author's note at the end.]

Clair De Lune by Astrid Skywalker

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:

It was full moon when the Dark Lord sealed a part of his soul within a magical amulet, and then broke it in half. One half was left to the faithful werewolves to guard. The other half was tossed into the impenetrable depths of time where no one but him could get it. When the first half has been found, the Order of the Phoenix selects Hermione Granger to go back into the past to search for the missing piece. What is waiting for her is a brutal task that will test her beyond her limits, and an undying love that extends beyond the boundaries of time.


RL/HG, Post-HBP


No werewolves were harmed in the making of this story.

I like your story a lot. I like time travel fics, and I like the Marauders *snorts* (understatement of the year)....But I also love Ron/Hermione, and obviously this isn't the right for that kind of shipper, but I'm not so particular. One thing though, I know it makes things a whole lot easier when you are writing Hermione with another character to make Ron seem more of an idiot than he is. And honestly, I really don't like that.
I thought your trio was OC. I agree that Harry and Hermione care deeply for each other, but they don't act like mother and father to each other. It's touching how much Hermione worried about Harry, but I'm pretty sure Ron cares just as much. But I can sort of see why you have to write Ron OC, because or else it couldn't be anything Ron/Hermione, as that's the way JK writes.

However, so far, that is the only thing I haven't like. Your writing is nice, and I like the feel of the atmosphere...can't wait for some romance. You have a very intricate plot. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to come up with it. Nice job!

I like the hintings in this chapter. And I like the moment Hermione grabs Peter's arm. I think you portrayed Hermione very well in this chapter.

Aww...Sirius and Sam are my favorites...please don't take long to update (again ;-P), and hey! I just posted my very first story, a James/Lily fic too, and would love it if you had a look at it and told me what you think!

That was REALLY good! It was touching and tragically real. I hope I can write like that some day.



Promises by KneazleWeazl

Rated: Professors •
Summary: After taking a year off from Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Hermione have returned with the completed task of destroying all horcrux's, but sadly Voldemort is still alive. And also sadly, Harry and Ginny are still split up. What will it take to get those two back together? And what will be the consequences of a kiss gone too far? R rating for the first chapter... so far.

Please do not leave spam reviews! I do not want to get my story deleted!

Chapter 5 'All's Well That Ends Well... Or Maybe Not' is up!
Thanks to whoever fixed my word count!.

Wow! Good story! Harry and Ginny seemed to make things happen a bit too fast, but I'm guessing they had quite a while of waiting! ;-P

Date: 12/12/06 Title: Promises

Oh darn! It's not up yet! Well, this is just really sweet and I hope something horrible doesn't happen now. I hate rejections. I just posted my second chapter to my first story and it got rejected too, but I'm gonna keep trying! Hope you do too, I want to read more! And I'd love it if you checked out my story too, by the way;-)



Harry Potter and Hope for the End by Julybug

Rated: Professors •
Summary: Starts where HBP leaves off.



Will Harry and his friends get to live happily ever after? Or will the Prophecy and You-Know-Who be too much to overcome?

This one has it all, folks! Love and lust! Money and power! Hob Nobs and Fairy Liquid! The Beatles and U2! C'mon! You know you want to read it...



Oh, yeah - it's got H/G and Hr/R romantic stuff, plus, you know, that war they're having.



BIG THANKS to my beta, Tabletop Joe (now, go read his brilliant fic!).
Next chapter is IN THE QUEUE. Thank you for the reviews, emails, and continued support of this story!

Moons of Deceit by Grace has Victory

Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Past Featured Story
Summary: Remus Lupin tolerates mischievous friends and lycanthropy, while the prophetic Ariadne MacDougal negotiates a misguided family, and everyone must deal with the Death Eaters. A rather dark coming-of-age story about the death of innocence and the renewal of hope during Voldemort’s first war.
Part I of The Moon-Cursers. Now updated to be DH-compatible.

Well, that was sad too...you wrote it real well, I bet that's probably how J.K thought it happened...

Author's Response: Dear GD, That\'s the nicest thing you could possibly say ... and I certainly hope that\'s how JK thought it happened. Thanks for taking the trouble to review, GhV



Reviewer: Gin_Drinka Signed
Date: 12/14/06 Title: Chapter 5: Deceit at the Wedding

That's sad about her family...but still real good. And I love that bit about her first week at Hogwarts, especially the bit about Professor Pavo, Ha!

Author's Response: Dear GD, Yes, I think you understand why her parents behave they way they do when you realise what their own lives were like. And I\'m so glad that you understood about Professor Pavo - I was wondering if anyone would! Thanks for keeping up the reviews, GhV



Reviewer: Gin_Drinka Signed
Date: 12/15/06 Title: Chapter 6: Barricaded against the Moon

Wow, that's horrible!

But on a happier note, I like the way you make Remus's parents support him. I've read many stories where they start ignoring him after he gets bitten, but I like this kind better. And I like the way they all become friends too.

Author's Response: Dear Gin Drinka, Yes, horrible, isn\'t it? My son nearly cried, which is why I had to give a PG-13 rating. I actually wrote this pre-HBP, but I didn\'t have to change anything. That werewolf could easily be Greyback. I am surprised to hear about stories where Remus\'s parents don\'t support him. With his good manners, hard work and genuine compassion, I always assumed that he came from a very strong family. Of course, he doesn\'t seem to have anyone by PoA time... but that\'s many years later. I think Remus would be friends with anyone who made the first move to him, while James and Sirius would never leave out anyone who accepted their lead, so it was just a case of bringing everyone together. But I hope JKR will tell us more about why they hated Snape so much! Thanks for your support, GhV

Date: 12/15/06 Title: Chapter 7: Eschewing Deceit

That's interesting about Veleta...I was guessing something like this. I really like all of her friends, I hope we'll see more of them.

Author's Response: Dear Gin Drinka, Yes, the friends will be an important part of the plot. Richard Campion will end up as Ernie Macmillan\'s brother-in-law, so that makes him almost canon! Thanks for reviewing, GhV



Reviewer: Gin_Drinka Signed
Date: 12/15/06 Title: Chapter 8: Defying the Moon's Demand

I like the way this was done, but i think that Remus seems not to like his friends very much. A sort of 'I can't do better, so I'll stick with what I have', thing.

Author's Response: Dear GD, I definitely think he didn\'t like them (especially Sirius) very much on the morning after The Prank. But don\'t worry, he\'ll think better of it - and I like to think that Sirius learned something too. I find the whole thing very uncomfortable, and I hope JKR will tell us more about it in Book VII. Thanks for reviewing, GhV



Reviewer: Gin_Drinka Signed
Date: 12/15/06 Title: Chapter 9: Death Eaters Undeceiving

Oh my! What will those horrible little beasts do now? poor Veleta...

Author's Response: They will report straight back to their horrible beastly grandfather, and what he will do, you don\'t want to know... GhV



Reviewer: Gin_Drinka Signed
Date: 12/15/06 Title: Chapter 11: Deceit around the Crystal Orb

How horrible! How sad! How...very tragic!

Author's Response: Ariadne thought so too, and she is very grateful for your condolences. GhV
