Lestrange Days by ancientgirl
Rated: Professors •Summary: Sequel to "The Long Wait." It's been thirteen years. The kids are in school, Severus and Hermione are teaching, and all is good, or so they believe.
Date: 02/12/07 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27
I do not know if anybody reads reviews on 2 year old stories. I have read all Ancientgirls stuff and her Osiris and Crookshanks are my favourite chacters. Long may they cause trouble!
Author's Response: They read them if they still get alerts. Thank you for taking the time to review this. I\'m happy that you enjoyed Osiris and Crookshanks. I haven\'t revisted them in a long time. I really don\'t post on here anymore though. I think The Severus Doll was the last story I posted here. I post mainly on The Petulant Poetess. If you are a big fan of fanfiction you should try that site. There are a lot of wonderful authors there.
The Severed Souls by Magical Maeve
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Summary : The sequel to Daughter of Light. Maeve has a very bad end to her honeymoon as things come to light about Severus that astound her. Why is her husband so keen to keep Draco Malfoy alive at all costs and can she really get over her loathing of Narcissa Malfoy to work together to save both Severus and Draco from the fate that Voldemort would like to inflict on them? Why is Harry so furtive and will Neville save the day when Maeve’s necklace is returned to her by her father. Oh, and our favourite bad-boy Auror is back!
There has been rather a long break in the writing of the story due to work commitments, but I'm back on the case and hoping to get it finished - if there's anyone left still reading!! :-)
Date: 06/14/11 Title: Chapter 38: A New Appointment
I last read this story when it was stalled at chapter 35. I just checked up on a whim and find you are writing again. Wonderful. Keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to review - it's very encouraging that someone is still reading after such a long gap. I'm quite determined to finish this story - the end is so long overdue.

Ron going off by himself sounds like a bad idea. But who knows till the next chapters what will happen. Hanging off every word.
Date: 04/25/16 Title: Chapter 40: The Missing Weasley
How it will all turn out is up to the author. What I do know is the quality of the writing is excellent.

Good update. Thanks for the excellent read.

I come back to this story every night to see the next chapter, so get on with it before I die of old age! (61 next birthday and a grandfather)
Harry Potter and the Seventh Horcrux by Scarhead Steve
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary:
My take on how events may pan out in book seven. Spoilers from all previous HP books.
The events of the previous year have brought home to Harry the realization of what has to be done, and the knowledge that it must be done alone. Now as he sets off on his final quest, making new acquaintances along the way, he must bring all his knowledge and skill to bear in his effort to destroy Lord Voldemort. But will it be enough, or is there something that he has missed which might prove to be his undoing?
Date: 02/14/07 Title: Chapter 9: Explanations at the dead of night
This is a really excellent story with a good plot, nail biting development and a minimum of fluff. Cannot wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Glad you like it. Hope the rest of the story lives up to your expectations. I should have the next chapter up shortly.
Harry Potter and the Magical Myths by nuw255
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: A man from Interpol comes to question Harry Potter as part of a murder investigation. How will Harry react? And how will this affect his search for Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes? Plus, the question we all want answered: What will happen with Ginny?
This story picks up immediately after HBP, and is very slightly AU. But hey, aren’t they all?
Date: 10/11/07 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Answers
I have followed this story after reading your excellent Stolen Past/Past Reclaimed and you write with a great original story line.
I hope you can now concentrate on `Almost Me Again`, even though I know Harry`s son is going to come round.
Author's Response: Thanks very much. I\'m really glad you\'ve enjoyed my stories.
Harry Potter and the Heirs of Slytherin by fawkes_07
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This is an alternate version of Book Seven. Harry reluctantly returns to Hogwarts to train with a new DADA teacher, one appointed in specifically for Harry in Dumbledore's will. As the rest of the Wizard World reacts to Dumbledore's defeat, Harry develops the skills he needs to fulfill the Prophecy--including mastery of the Kedavra curse.
Mysteries are explored along the way, particularly the "missing 24 hours" from 1981--the span of time between Hagrid taking Baby Harry from the ruins of Godric's Hollow on Halloween Night, and his arrival to hand off Baby Harry on Privet Drive the following night. The Veil Room in the Department of Mysteries is also revisited. A traitor is uncovered, and Dumbledore's wisdom comes into question. And even when all goes as planned, things are not all they seem.

Brilliant story telling. Fabulous, original characterisations. Good stuff
Author's Response: Cool! Thanks for reading!
Safe Haven by NikkiSue
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: After a conflicting life as the son of a famous and feared Death Eater, Draco Malfoy has turned spy for the Order.

This all goes to show that war indeed brings out the best in people — and the worst.
Date: 05/02/09 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 - Just Act Normal . . .
I was enjoying this and then it ended in nowhere. I hate stories that do this.
Author's Response: Well, it's not over, hehe. It's still a WIP, I just haven't had time to review. Sorry it threw you off. :-)
A Different Sort of Peace by Vindictus Viridian
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: At some point there had to have been a choice.
The logical place to begin a story is at the point of the first decision. But what if there were no decisions? What if, at every point, there was only one possible act? What if the story simply cannot be told?
Completed (though not posted) entirely pre-DH.
Date: 10/24/08 Title: Chapter 27: Epilogue
Being a sad old cannon H.P. fan, I do not particularly like odd pairings. However, this was a brilliant bit of writting and the ending was glorious.
Author's Response: Aw! I love odd pairings. There's so much potential in a relationship when you accept that very few people get it right the first time (or second, or tenth...) and try to see whether they can make it work or not. Anyway, I'm glad you liked this. I was certain that I wasn't going to like DH's treatment of Severus and tried to dream up an alternate ending for him before it came out. Here it is. Thanks for the review!
A Past Reclaimed by nuw255
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Sequel to A Stolen Past. Please read that story first, as this one really won’t make sense if you don’t.
Harry Potter has rejoined the Wizarding world after a year-long absence, but still has no memory of his time at Hogwarts. Will he ever get his memory back? Will he be able to pass his classes without it? And most importantly, will he ever be able to defeat Lord Voldemort? Read on as the last of the mysteries introduced in A Stolen Past are finally revealed.
This is a story of friendship and mystery, with a healthy dose of H/G thrown in for good measure.
Date: 02/11/07 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Visitors
Keep it coming!
Author's Response: Will do!

Date: 08/02/07 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Explanations
I know it is all going to come out right at the end , but I would still like to read it before my eyesight fails.
Author's Response: Ooooh! I\'m guessing that\'s a subtle hint asking me to update. :-) Honestly, I really want to continue this story, and I will just as soon as I finish the next chapter of my other story. I don\'t have much writing time right now, so I\'m kind of having to switch off back and forth which story I\'m working on. But I will get to it ASAP.

All is not well.

Date: 09/17/08 Title: Chapter 40: Baby Love
This is not my usual my HP fanfiction sort of reading, but once I started the first chapter I could not stop. Well written - good story.
Author's Response:
I heart you for reading a story that isn't your usual reading!
I have to confess, though, that every time I see your pen name, I have this knee jerk, oh-my-heck-it's-DAD! reaction and have to remind myself (in Bill Murray from Groundhog Day fashion) that you're a dad, not the dad, LOL.
Harry Potter and the Golden Sepulcher by leesmiley
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: In the aftermath of the Battle of Hogwarts, the survivors must move on to rebuild the wizarding world. However, a new threat is rising, putting at risk the tentative gains made by Harry and his friends.
Date: 01/22/09 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12--The Missing Chapter
Ths is a good story. Waiting too long for updates is worse than undergoing the crutiatus curse!!
Are you a death-eater?
Author's Response: ::Pulls down the sleeve over his left arm:: Why, no, I'm not a Death Eater. How absurd! Actually, work on this story has been delayed due to the completion and current editing of my recent novel, my strenuous day job, and a family that, for some reasons, wants to see me every so often.
However, I have been dabbling with the next chapter a bit and will hopefully not make you wait too much longer before I have something else added to the queue. I'm in between projects right now and hope to use that time to advance the continuing tales of Harry and company a bit further.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Date: 07/29/09 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12--The Missing Chapter
I keep coming back to this story but no updates. I assume it is dead, which is a shame but I am going to delete it from my bookmarks. Sad.
Author's Response: No, the story is not dead. It has simply been on hiatus while I deal with such things as my third novel, cancer, and the death of my mother. So please hang around a bit and I'll continue on as soon as I'm able. Feel free to check my LiveJournal (Perpetrating Hooptedoodle) or my Twitter (twitter.com/lee_smiley) for any news on the story. I have been thinking about it a lot lately and, usually, writing follows closely behind such thinking.
Vincit Qui Se Vincit by Celestine de Karamel

Date: 10/27/07 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5
This story is growing on me. Interesting plot.
Author's Response: Thanks! The plot is going to thicken (naturally) so I hope you\'ll keep enjoying the story :)
