Ello there, fello Harry Potter Freak! My name is Beth, and I am waiting for the bitter sweet, yet not so very far off moment, that the final Harry Potter book will be released.
Wanna know a bit about me? Sure! Read on! If not, you can click a seperate link if you wanna...
** ** ** **
I'm in Ravenclaw (and a Hufflepuff, and a Gryffindor. Go figure). Why? Well...I love to read. I love to write. I love to learn. Yup. Actaully, I'm taking two honors core classes, and am a year ahead of my class in Science and Math.
Oh, and did I mention I love to read?
I am currently involved in many school activites; Oddyssy of the Mind is a favorite of mine--its just so fun! And then there is Peer Leaders and STOP (students taking on polution).
I'm 5' 7" with braces (finally!), contacts (finally!) and size 9 wide feet! Tee hee! I have brown eyes, brownish-redish-blondish hair that in (permed) curls to my jawline, and really hairy arms....
My loves include animals, small children, family and friends, life in general, and Harry Potter, of course!
** ** ** **
My favorite characters you ask? Here they are in order!
-Ron
-Dumbledore(may there be lemon drops on the otherside...)
-Dobby
-Hermione
-Hagrid
-Mr.Weasley
-Fred & George
-Moody
I'd list the Marauders, but I love all of them! Except Peter, of course. Him; I love to hate. But I gasped and stared at the same sentence for a long time when Sirius died. I never cried, but I did wonder why JK would do this to us--erm, I mean Harry...
My favorite Novelists you ask?
-J.K Rowling
-Diane Duane
-Tamora Pierce
-Dean Koontz
-Steven King
I, too, love this. Snape was wonderful in making them scrub the dungeons using their own toothbrushes; Ron was wonderful in how awkward he was--heck just plain excellent. Good job. Now I think I'll take the Hufflepuff way and badger you to get the next issue up A.S.A.P!
Author's Response: Reviewers Saying Story Is Excellent = Happy Author!!! (maths I can do!!) Thank you!! Lol, I will try to update really soon - promise!!!
I think it should be great. I'm a little dissapointed there wasn't an article in this chapter, though. ;P 'Dear Dumby' is clever(Dumby, DUMBledore...yeah...), though if I didn't have a sense of humor, it might be considered offensive to teh great Wizz.....with recent 'events' and all. But, I can almost see the eccentric little man doing omething like this. In lighter times, maybe, though. Maybe. But its good so far, and I look forward to your next chappie!
Author's Response: Thank you! Wow, getting mixed opinions on the use of 'Dear Dumby'! It's great to hear all your opinions on it! I'm glad you like it! And, of course, I didn't mean offense to him - he rocks! Hopefully I'll be submitting the next chapter soon! Thanks for reviewing!
Good so far; loved how Ron stood up for Hermione, and even controlled himself. *sigh* But I'm a sucker for Fon-Hermione-ishness... I'm eager for more, so keep it up! Erm, please?
Oh, this was so cute. and te ending was great, too. 10 for cuteness and originality!
Author's Response: Thanks :D XXXX
Lovely, really lovely! Another 10, dear.
Author's Response: And thanks again! XXX Please check out my other fics, To Be This Lost Inside Ourselves, and A Glint of Gold
Oh, I like this story alot! It's so original! Its on my favorite list, so I can check and see when the updates are lickety-split! Kudos! Oh, the hints. They're pretty simple, but worded well and cleverly, I think. Again, kudos!
Excellent. I really liked this story; escpecially the ending...haha.... Some minor mistakes, some grammatical, some cannon, but hey. No one's perfect, and this is fanfiction! I wish this were longer...! *poout* Ah well. Kudos.
Oh, so totally, brilliantly unfair! Darn the closed queue... Hmph.
Author's Response: Arrgh, for you!! Yeah, and WHAT a cliffie to close on! The plot is thickening as we speak...ne\'er fear, once the queue opens, I\'ll be submitting another Chapter!! Thanks for reading and reviewing, and stay tuned!! ~C
Author's Response: OMG!! I KNEW your pen name sounded familiar, but didn\'t know why - I have \"Git in Shining Armor\" on my faves list!! Loved that story, and in fact, it was one of two stories on this site that prompted me to write my own...now I am doubly flattered that you are enjoying my story! Thanks again ~ you\'re a terrific writer yourself! ~ Colleen
Just a mid-story review, here. I love it so far! How you keep changing perspectives... and everyone is in character quite nicely. It's sad and sweet at the same time! At the risk of rambling, I'm off to read some more... *rates a 10 and clicks 'submit'*
Author's Response: Hey juniorauthor, thanks so much for taking the time to review - I am always so happy to hear from new readers!! Especially since I am at Chapter 25 now, it\'s nice to hear from folks that are reading Chapter 1, 2, 3, etc, which I wrote a few months ago!! Thanks for the note!!
"when you fall in love, you lose food. Good-bye lamb chops and steak and kidney pie and roast chicken and -" Oh, so very, very Ron-ish! Lovely still, my dear! I just can't stop grinning!
Author's Response: Awww! Thanks. Yeah, I figured that was a pretty \"Ron\" response to his feelings ~ food or love? I adore the Ron that JK has created, and in HBP, she finally showed him growing up a little - this is my furthering that cause!! I hate when Ron is portrayed as either a bumbling fool or some epic hero - he\'s neither!! He\'s just a very brave, loyal young man who\'s trying to figure things out! ok, he\'s clueless sometimes, but we love him anyway...
Aww... This is wonderful, Hermione816. The story is brilliant, and I love how you've changed things around a bit--Godric's Hollow vs Grimuald Palce, for instance. A few spelling errors here and there, but nothing major that takes away from the story. Cheers!
Author's Response: Eek!! Spelling errors??? I must correct those...I work in publishing, we do not stand for typos!! Thanks so much juniorauthor ~ your consistent reviews are great and I love hearing from people what they like (and don\'t!) about the story. I feel like I can say I\'ve got some of the best readers here on MNFF!! ~ Your Author, Colleen
I really lked this, it was quite funny. The only thing that disappointed me was that this was a one shot--and so might be the last of its kind! *sob* Excellent how you told the entire story almost completely with notes. Lovely, and I wish there was more.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm sorry there won't be any more of this type - but there will probably be more!
This was lovely, and uniquely written in present tense. Very sentimental, and the imagery was good! I agree, a sequel would very much be enjoyed! Or even, a continuation of this very fic!
No! Nonononono! Oh my goodness.... *sob* That was so...sad! Its not fair--just not fair! Lovely story--how you expressed Mrs. Weasley's feelings and all that had happened was good. Oh, my.... My jaw dropped and I was whining; my sister told me to chill out! Hehehe....So sad. A 9! *sob*
Author's Response: *passes out more tissues!* I know, I know, in the wise wise words of malcolm in the middle - life is unfair! I'm glad you liked it, even if you did freak out your sister a bit!! Thanks for reviewing, and for the 9!!
Awww. So sweet! Two thumbs up for warm fuzzies, hehe.
Author's Response: hehe cute ^^
..right now, i'm planning another one-shot hr/r fic...
see ya!
Cute, but curious none-the-less. Maybe the goo--I mean, perfume... is something like the love potion in HBP? Like, it'll smell different to Hermione.... she'll smell the love in it or... Oh, now you've got me guessing! I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: *singsong voice* I know what will haaaaaappennnnnn, and you peple don'ttttttttt.
Oh, what a neat idea! Most Ron/Hermione stories take place at the Burrow--its a nice change to see Hermione has the Home-town advantage. Keep going--looking good! I ca'n t wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks! Yeah that's what I thought, that it would be interesting to have Hermione have that advantage. Next chapter will up hopefully be up soon! Thanks for reading, xoxo
I loved it. I have to admit, I was a bit tentative about the pillow fight thing--Ron and Harry starting it, I mean. Pillow fights are more a girl thing, but you made it work quite wonderfully. And the awkwardness between Ron and Hermione.... I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! 3rd chapter's here, and I'm submitting the 4th one soon! Thanks for reading, xoxo
Oh...so sweet and wonderful! Yay!
Oh my, who was it that Hermione danced with at the ball, I wonder? *ponder ponder ponder* Wonderfully done. I always loved mockery...
Author's Response: Thank you. I hope you are not actually wondering who she danced with at the ball, because that would be incredibly sad, but if you are, it was Draco. I know. A surprise. ;) More to come soon.
