Oh dear, every other review is from someone in SPEW and now I have a standard! Well, here it is.

I loved this one-shot and the emotions contained. McKee is a true Slytherin captured at its best - a bit cunning, eager to prove themselves and highly ambitious. An excellent OC, who has a personality. Thank you! :) Too often we see half-baked people with little more than physical descriptions. And Lucius Malfoy's affair made sense. After all, how did he clear his name so easily? Good job, Lex. I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing.

Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing (I'll pretend like I didn't know you would..hee hee)! I'll take a look at the items you've mentioned. I like to vary the use of pronouns and nouns, so that is probably my reasoning behind using 'she' in that sentence. Besides, as the fiction is in her head, the reader can figure out what is going on anyhow. I'll take a look at Weasley is our King to see if it's awkward in any way. I'm glad you enjoyed my snotty little McKee. I appreciate it!

Author's Response: Have located the song! It is in italics- along with the rest of the sentence- because it happens in the past. You see her reaction to the juvenile song in the next paragraph. Again, thank you.

I suppose I should bless you with a "Caren review," but I'm too tired, and thought it's almost 2 here, my body says around 4. *shrug* Hey, I'm bored. Anyway, I can't help but love the clever ending you wrote in, with Harry's Legilemency and all. I never read your Year Six, as you well know, but I can't help but wonder how the process of breaking into someone's mind is. Going out on a limb here... *glances nervously at ground*... wouldn't there be more of a struggle? Sure, Snape's defences were low, but I can't help but wonder if that was all in Snape's mind. It couldn't have been the only thing. There must have been more flashbacks. Perhaps Harry had to struggle with clearing them away before "experiencing" that memory. Just my thoughts. Don't stop updating - okay, as if you'd stop - but here's another demand for another chapter. I know it's written, hurry up and post it! :D -- Your fangirl. ;)

This is going to be a long and boring review going in chronological order in response to your nice review! So here it is... "Her plump figure sat at the table while she was sipping a cup of hot, steamy Espresso. As Harry took some of the massive pile of eggs and bacon, Mrs. Weasley looked over and exclaimed, "Why Harry, There is plenty of food, you don't need to go and starve yourself to death. You always know that you are welcome to take as much as you need."" Using precise aim. Add a comma after it too. But it's so funny - Draco throwing darts at pictures? :D But how did Mrs. Weasley's dress knock a glass of water over? Maybe her elbow did it. And I'm not too sure Ginny would bark. Snap, maybe. Also, throughout the chapter you have verb tense problems. If they did something, they're not going to be doing something with an "-ing" ending in the same sentence. I just took your entire chapter apart, and I'm sorry for sounding cynical. I just wanted to critique yours a bit more as a favor for reviewing mine. I think it's a good story overall, it's got both H/G and R/Hr elements. Those are pretty general but not OOC at all. Good job!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for all of your help. I will try and add a little more detail in as you requested and about the tense thing. I think part of the problem may be that I first wrote it in present tense, and later switched to past. Maybe this will clear it up. Again, thank you so much for the review!

Well, Vader, thought I'd stop being selfish and sticking to my favorites list, and branch out. Nice title - it drew me in. And, of course, the very first thought connecting "wrongfully accused" to Azkaban is Sirius Black, but you included that it was an OC in your summary. I read too fast. LOL.

The Priori Incantato made me think a bit. Maybe I'm being too obvious (better to be thought a fool, I suppose), but the only thing I an derive is that someone took his wand. Forcefully? There's no mention of a struggle between him and the offending person. Wouldn't there be? Wouldn't that be the person he has nightmares about? We only hear about some laughter. Male or female? I think you're trying to keep us in the dark. Just some inquisitive questions from a reader. :P

Azkaban the prison. What are the doors like? You mentioned they were of steel. Also, there must be some small opening at the bottom to allow the food. And how did that dementor get in so easily? Did it open the door? As far as I know, they can't glide through walls. And is there a small window through which he can look? He has to observe Lucius, Bellatrix and the others somehow. He just gazes out of his door. Clarification?

MJ, this story is getting even better! Your imagery (however graphic, lol) is wonderful and drew me into the story numerous times. I also loved the intertwining stories - I'm not confused yet! All the dates make sense so far - though I had to think for a moment to make sure I was keeping events in the right order. ;) Silly old me.

Ooh, Jenna did a good job, apparently; both Hermione and Ron were very much in character! “You can read? Really?” came Hermione’s retort, dripping with sarcasm. “And here I thought I was the one who did all your reading for you…” Hehe. Yup, that was Hermione right there. It might me sigh to think of Ron catching a hold of before she left. They're so perfect together! *almost squeals* :D

Next part was written nicely too, from Molly's point of view. A glimpse of the family was needed at that point, as they were completely shut out (and will be). And that makes me sad to know that Molly doesn't realise that Ron and Hermione have been sleeping together. She truly is in the dark. And Harry! Amelia Bones as Minister, not surprising at all. Harry running to Amelia: interesting. Well, I can he would just because she's part of the Order (I would think) and she has connections. Is that about right?

Here's some more nitpicking (because I know you love it, lol): The young woman lay perfectly still, her deathly pale face framed by her long red hair and her body was shrouded in white sheets. I would take out the "was" after body, seeing as there is no verb after "pale face." "OWL" and "NEWT" are initials, therefore they look like "O.W.L." and "N.E.W.T." I think you might have forgotten a few commas too --> “No,” affirmed Neville feeling ashamed. Between Neville and feeling. "Why Neville?" [Ginny] and “You’re beautiful Ginny,” he began softly. After "why" and "beautiful." I also want to see more of Rhea. She seems levelheaded, but as far as being a "Muggle" goes, wouldn't she be shocked? At all?

Um, am I supposed to say something. Er... wow. Amazing. This chapter was written beautifully, all parts, even though my younger self sort of shies away from the rape scene. I was warned, though, so what can I say? Other than it was just beautiful. Now I'm getting repetitive.

I found it odd that Rhea wasn't shocked by the fact owls flew up to her - that they carried letters! I'm assuming she hasn't been familiar with owls, since Harry (apparently) hasn't seen Hedwig in years. How often does one see an owl, much less one that will come near, and even carry a letter? If I were Rhea, I'd be in shock. After all, in the Sorceror's Stone, seeing owls by daytime was astonishing enough. The only thing that seemed to make her gasp was that her name was on the letters.

This story was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm impressed with her choice. I love Marauder fics, but this one-shot is one of the best I've seen so far. And I wouldn't take that so lightly. I think I'll have to read Unveiled Secrets now, to see more of your writing. ;)

Peter... It's when I read fics like yours that my hatred for him grows a bit softer. You portrayed him as human. That's some hard work. And you showed us his weakness without overdoing it too, and not making him too pathetic. He wasn't OOC at all. And I thought it interesting how you described Sirius as a King (for emphasis). He certainly was a "constellation of frustration." I smiled as I read that, because I knew exactly who was next. Sirius, the golden boy, now crowned king. Lily as his "mother" is very fitting; in fact, that is her "position" in one of my fics. I really think that that was part of her friendship with Sirius.

I thought it odd how you never mentioned Sirius at the wedding, though I know that that part was Remus' part of the story. He was best man, after all. Shouldn't he at least been described? The youthfulness in his face that we know about? And the rest of the fic was amazing. None of the glimpses in the married life were too short nor too long, just enough for us. Your scene with the Secret-Keeper (BTW, remember to include a dash) was well-explained too. I thought it interesting that it was James who opposed to it, not Lily. And my favorite line -->And she waits beside his cradle, waits for the world to stop spinning. *sigh* I loved your fic. Thanks for contributing to fan fic, and I hope you continue writing.

This is the first I've read of a point of view from Neville's grandmother, and I must say, I liked it. From what we have from Neville, she is portrayed as a strict, uncaring sort of person, blunt and not sensitive. Your portrayal, however, makes her much more real. I wouldn't be surprised if JKR described Mrs Longbottom like that.

Mentioning her family's loss of former fortune was nicely done, too. She always seemed to carry that hint of old money long gone - and struggling to overcome the fact that she is much poorer. And I love the fact that Neville practically inherited his fondness of plants, because his great-great-grandfather owned herb farms.

In the very last part of your one-shot, you could have explored what Neville's life was going to be like now that his parents are unable to raise him. This boy's life has changed, radically. In essence, he is an orphan, being left to be raised by relatives. Also, she doesn't seem to care about him much. Was that intentional? It's evident in OotP that she isn't too affectionate, but she could at least care more about his current state.

Mmhmm. I'm reviewing another one-shot of yours! I think I read it with a more prejudiced mind than usual -- I don't like Peter Pettigrew, and I don't think I ever will. *sigh* But you brought to him to life without any sort of judgment -- that is, we couldn't tell if you hated/loved him. (Though I can imagine...) It was clean, devoid of the usual urge to turn him into a monster. I rather appreciated that. It was interesting to see the real Peter for once.

I forgot what "SI" meant (the trigger warning) until I read the last part. That Peter was strong enough to even contemplate suicide was very intriguing. And I laughed when he put the knife back because it was too dirty. The irony! In his almost last moments, all Peter thinks about is how immaculate something is. *snort* It's sort of like the irony that they sterilize needles that are used for lethal injections. And it's so fitting that right before he was to cut himself, the Dark Lord stopped him by calling him. It's only the "Darkest One" that'll ever stop him, not his morals or sense of well-being. I also liked the fact that Peter called Voldemort the "Darkest One." Coward... *grr*

Jenna! I can't believe it's taken this long for me to review. You know I love Soft (and Siobhan) to no end. It's just that my thoughts wouldn't formulate themselves into reviews... argh, stupid little things.

Two more nitpicky things before I launch into my SPEWing mode: replace "to" with "at" in: Why the bloody hell is he passing me a note? Siobhan thought to herself, eyeing the parchment with disgust and raising a condescending brow to Goyle. Nearly sounds as if her brow is moving toward him. :P Also: "I take it you're Miss Murphy?" [Harry] asked, a slight amused grin tugging at his lips. Add an "ly" to the end of "slight."

Potter looked at her as though she might be touched in the head, but then nodded in agreement. "Alright then...", and he snapped one of the toes from his frog and put it in front of one of the mice, who sniffed it cautiously.

On the paragraph starting with Not bothering to be careful or quiet... remove one set of dashes. It's too repetitive and stands out to the reader. I would suggest substituting commas for the first instance, and including a "which" and commas on the second one. And on Perhaps, Draco, you would like to inform me why you have lured me here tonight... - take out the ellipsis and put in a period or a question mark. It is a question, after all. One more: He moved closr to her, wearing a much mistake look of satisfaction at his skills of seduction Period at the end, m'dear.

Long as this may be, don't be in doubt that I loved it! Omgoodness, how I love the Slytherin in Siobhan, like Siobhan wasn't sure how to respond, so she didn't. Unless Professor McGonagall wanted her to go back in time in order to attain punctuality, there wasn't much that could be done. LOL! *laughs her head off* And Draco as her "pale-faced object of her enmity." Oh my crazy, how hilarious. Oh yes... Then, apparently choosing to use an entire different method, his lips raced towards hers with alarming velocity, and she felt his already open mouth collide with the bottom half of her face. I can picture that perfectly! Hahaha...

Author's Response: Thanks for the nitpicks. I'm sure I'll get around to fixing them... eventually. *cough*

Anyway, hehe, thanks for the review, I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I love that you put so much effort on the feedback :)
