I'm 16, and from America (unfortunately). I love math and German and writing.
Favorite HP characters: Sirius, Draco, Oliver Wood, Fred and George, Ginny, Bellatrix, Tonks, Remus, Moody
Favorite Ships:
Ron/Hermione (they're so perfect for each other, even if I can't write them *tear*), Draco/Ginny (My absolute favorite ship!! Read A Tale of Two Matchmakers if you haven't. Honestly, you need to. Go. Now.), Remus/Tonks, Sirius/Lily, and Sirius/Ginny (Honestly! If it weren't for the creepy age difference thing, they'd be perfect for each other!)
And pretty much anything else well written... except slash.
Favorite Non-HP books: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Gone With the Wind, Watership Down, and Dune
Favorite TV shows: Gilmore Girls, and a whole bunch of really old shows no one's ever heard of

My friends and I wrote a really hilarious humor fic that everyone should read! But, the thing is, MNFF won't accept it because it's too ooc. But if you ever want to read a really good humor fic, I know you'll love it. It's called "No One in Their Right Mind..." Here's the link: http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?psid=221997
Oh, and here's the summary:
After the semi-final battle, Voldemort makes a life-changing decision.
“I’m tired of trying to take over the goofy Brits,” Voldemort said. “Let’s go to Canadia. And once we get there I can take over America – I’ve been wanting it since I was a small and underappreciated child of amazing talent anyway.”
As might be expected, hilarity ensues.
And I accept anonymous reviews, so if you like it, you can tell me!!

My two chaptered fics are going to have to be put on temporary hiatus for the next month or so due to the guantlet, classes on the forums, and RL. Don't worry, I'll update ASAP!
Quite a twist at the end... I really love this story. I love the mystery and originality to it. You're an amazing writer! I can't wait to read more!
~Alison
Author's Response: Thank you, Alison! Glad you liked the ending. ;) Sadly, the originality of the fic I can\'t take credit for, since I adopted it from my House over on the forums. I\'m just lucky enough to make this plot bunny come to life. :D I probably won\'t be able to submit chapter 3 before they close the queue for the DH release, but I hope you\'ll come back when it does get posted. *hugs* ~GG
This is good so far, and the summary sounds amazing, but it says this story is completed. Is that correct? Just letting you know, because It doesn't seem like it's done. Anyway, very well done!
Author's Response: That\'s the strangest thing! I never checked the completed box and when I went back to edit the thing it said it wasn\'t checked, then I updated and now miraculously it\'s not complete anymore. Strange. But anyways, thanks for pointing that out! I\'m really glad you like the start and the summary. :) There are going to be about 8 chapters total. I have the next 2 written so I\'ll submit the chapter 2 soon. I really appreciate your review, dear! :D ~GG
“I love you,” she said, hearing the words as if spoken by someone else. But then again, maybe she was someone else now.
I love this line. I like how you make Hermione always uncertain of her feelings for Harry, so that even after they marry, the reader knows it can't work.
~Alison
Author's Response: Thanks. :) Yeah, that\'s the problem with this whole relationship, is you know they\'re just kidding themselves...so sad. You\'re spot on about Hermione being uncertain of her feelings, and you\'ll see that boil up in later chapters. I really appreciate your review, Alison! *hugs* ~GG
“But Harry,” began Hermione finally, willing herself to remain controlled, “just as you’re not Ron, I’m not Ginny.” Why is it that a simple statement can carry so much weight?
I have no idea how you can write about Hermione and Snape having an affair while making both of them in character. Quite a feat, actually. I know that some people won't like the Hermione/Snape parts of this fic, but I think that it's perfect. Hermione truly needed someone to help her figure out that her marriage was irreparable. Snape could do that with detachment, and I think that's important.
For some twisted reason, I love that Hermione wouldn't let Harry adopt Ronny. It just seems so important that Ronny be a Weasley.
The marriage is over, thank God. This is an amazing fic, and I don't want it to end. How many more chapters will there be? Probably not many? Still, a little something for closure (that seems to be the word of the day!) would be nice.
~Alison
Author's Response: Thank you, Alison! I\'m very glad you like my characterization of Hermione and Snape, as that was obviously a huge concern of mine as I wrote this chapter. It\'s also gratifying to know that at least some readers understand why she had to have an affair. (You\'re very smart, by the way.) As for me, I am a total freak about Ron/Hermione, so there was no way I could ever let Harry adopt Ronny, lol. It would just be too....disloyal, or something. Haha, I feel exactly the same way you do about the Harry/Hermione relationship! There will be one more chapter that will answer your questions, give some closure, and hopefully end in a way you should like. :D Thanks again for the lovely review! *hugs* ~GG
Amazing chapter, as always! Is this going to become a Hermione/Snape fic (which I admit that I like about 1000 times more than H/Hr), or is Snape just going to put her into perspective? Anyway, it seems very in character of Hermione to think that getting a job is an escape.
~Alison
Author's Response: Thank you! (I think you\'re the only one who likes this chapter, lol). I happen to like the Hermione/Snape part, as I\'m not at all a fan of Harry/Hermione. I guess you could say he puts things into perspective for her...in a sense. You\'ll find out next chapter. Thank you so much, Alison! =) ~GG
Hermione's emotions about her coming baby at the beginning of this chapter seemed very real. I love how much Harry cares for the baby, because it just seems so in character. All in all, another amazing chapter!!
~Alison
Author's Response: Thanks. :) I just tried to imagine how I would feel if I were in Hermione\'s position. I love Harry\'s part in this chapter, too. He\'s so sweet! Hehe. Thanks so much for the review, Alison! ~GG
I can't help but think that if Hermione had married Ron instead, she'd be a lot happier. Again, her emotions seem completely real, and I love how you ended the chapter—for some reason it seems completely believable for Hermione to try escaping from her problems. In this fic, anyway.
~Alison
Author's Response: Aaaaand you\'ve just won the grand prize, Alison. ;-) You\'re so right about Hermione and Ron. It\'s just so sad that he died....*tear* I\'m glad Hermione seems believable to you. I can imagine her, under that kind of stress and sadness, to resort to extreme measures to escape her problems. Thank you so much for the review!! *hugs* ~GG
She was stuck with limp, mousey brown hair.
Tonks didn’t scream the way she once would have. Instead, she felt bleak satisfaction. This is what grief looks like, she thought. It isn’t pretty.
Tonks' trouble with her Metamorphosing? It's complicated.
That was so good!!! But it was really sad. I still can't wait for your next story. Aren't you the most prolific author now? Congrats!
~Alison
Author's Response: I may not be the most popular (why more readers appreciate H/G or R/Hr over R/T and D/G I\'ll never understand, LOL) but temporarily at least, I am the most prolific. :P Thank you, thank you!
I love how evilly you write Bellatrix, and how it fits in with her thoughts of Andromeda. It was a great little fic!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! :D
Giant spiders, malevolent bats, wizard scouts...werewolves. Tonks finds life in Hogsmeade far from simple, while Remus discovers having a partner in touch with her inner wolf complicates his mission and his heart.
It's hard for Tonks to give a Slytherin-like excuse isn't it?
I love the world you create for the werewolves. It seems, if possible, completely believable.
Author's Response: Werewolves living in packs on isolated moors never really seemed plausible to me, but an inner city jungle? I think they\'d blend in with the other predators. :D
That was a perfect chapter! I always love the wolf Lupin and Tonks parts of the series. And Dawlish is perfect as the type of boss no one would ever want to have!
~Alison
Author's Response: I have the best time when the wolves get to play, so thank you! Dawlish isn\'t a bad boss...as long as you aren\'t independent and expecting to be treated as a capable adult, LOL.
I love the Perception Paper idea. Oh, and I realized something on my reread of OotP... Tonks must be good at Potions, since you need Potions to be an Auror. And I'm assuming Snape was her teacher, so she would have had to get an O on her Potions OWL to continue in her 6th and 7th year.
~Alison
Author's Response: Once upon a time, I was a good student of Latin...until I stopped taking it, reading it, attempting to speak it, and after years found I remembered only phrases, lol. In the last story, Tonks admitted she hadn\'t brewed a potion since Hogwarts, and Snape told her it would take too much time to teach her...but now there\'s plenty of time! :)
The "bring your own blades" line was definitely hilarious. What a great chapter—as always, I can't wait for the next!
~Alison
Author's Response: Other people, it\'s bring your own beer, for Snape, bring your own blades, lol. Thank you. Next chapter is full moon fun!
Another amazing chapter! I can't wait for next week's (assuming you doing break any more toes, lol).
~Alison
Author's Response: If I break anything else, no one would believe me, heh, so I\'d have to write through the pain. :D
Loved it, as always. I love that you mentioned Sirius in this chapter, even if it wasn't in the best light, lol.
~Alison
Author's Response: Sirius was once as cavalier, but at least he didn\'t stay that way! Think about Harry- he isn\'t always the most sensitive, caring kind of guy, lol. Not many teenaged boys are!
I cannot remotely remember how Snape got Tonks out of the forest. Oh well. Anyway, I love this chapter, and I would have to say that my favorite line was Tonks waiting for the "good parts" version of Hogwarts, a History. A reference to the Princess Bride?
~Alison
Author's Response: There will always be references to the Princess Bride! :D
I was just referring to Snape jumping out the window at Hogwarts and flying away. He wasn\'t described in detail, just a great bat-like creature, so I\'ll have fun with Tonks speculating how he did it in the next chapter! :P
"Teach you what? Latin?"
I have a feeling I wasn't supposed to find that nearly as funny as I did. It made this vivid mental picture in my mind of a whole bunch of werewolves (in their changed state, obviously) learning a dead language. Wow, how useful. Yep, still laughing.
Anyway, it was another perfect chaper. You're an amazing writer, and when you get a novel published (as we all know you will), make sure you tell me!!
~Alison
Author's Response: I would\'ve been happy with a smile, but laughing at wacky mental images is fab! Thank you!
Very strange pairing, but it was really good!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I like experimenting with pairings.
This fic was amazing. Truly one of the best I've ever read (it's already on my favourites).
I've read so many fics about Draco and especially his redemption. But this possibility was so terrible and real. This possibility that he had given up so much and died a hero for the "right" side, but was never trusted or missed in the end.
Because, in the end, this fic shows that we are all human and that we do deserve a comforting hand. But so many people never experience that, and it's a tragedy in itself.
This was perfect and moving beyond words. I especially love this line:
Even at the end, only the heavens wept.
I hope his mother was there to greet him after his death.
Thank you so much for writing this!
~Alison
Author's Response: You\'re very welcome, and thank you for the lovely review! And I hope his mother was there too. Someone to comfort him - if not in life, then after life, right?
Hilarious, with an amazing ending!
Author's Response: Thanks!
