Hi! I'm Alyssa, and I'm 16. I'm a busy sophomore. Harry Potter is my default "homework-break." I love to write, and I'm currently obsessed with the Next Generation. JKR is a genius for giving us all these characters so conducive to fanfiction. :)

Killed the Things He Loved by Marzenie
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Two scenes from the life of Severus Snape.
Date: 09/01/07 Title: Chapter 1: Killed the Things He Loved
Wow. Just wow. This is beautiful! I've always found Severus intriguing, and this story brought him to life in a way that was wonderful. Keep writing!
Author's Response: -smiles- Thank you! There\'s something about him, isn\'t there? So little of what goes through my head about him comes out in written-down words, but I\'m glad that you enjoyed this bit.
Where You Belong by Hermione Jane
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Hermione's point of view throughout Deathly Hallows. It's mainly about what she's feeling at certain parts of the book. I tried my best to make everything allign to Deathly Hallows at some point. Obviously, there are spoilers. Enjoy!
Date: 09/12/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I liked this a lot, surprisingly, as stories in this format usually aren't that good. I like how you portrayed Hermione as someone who was good at disguising her emotions and hated feeling vulnerable-that is truly her character.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I\'m very pleased that you enjoyed it. =]
When Impossible becomes Reality by beautyfades
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary:
First part in the "Lamenting Changes" series
Luna Lovegood has never been one to fit in with the crowd, whether she tries to or not, and the one main reason is because of her father’s magazine, The Quibbler, and the constant rubbish it seems to be printing.
Noah Wipple has always been one who lived by facts and avoided the ones who didn't, so when he meets Luna they automatically clash and Noah decides he must avoid the aggravating girl at all costs.
But fate seems anxious for some entertainment because when the students get assigned to write a report together in Transfiguration class, Luna is paired with Noah and this rather odd pair must learn to work together; even if it kills them.
Luna Lovegood/ Original Character
Date: 04/19/08 Title: Chapter 4: Nobody likes Mondays
I like the characters in this story. Noah has a very unique personality. He reminds me a bit of my friend in the fact that it's almost painful for him to be silly around people he doesn't know. I'm excited to see what happens next! Please update!
Author's Response: Thanks hun! I find Noah to be a very refreshing character to work with since J.K. doesn\'t seem to have come up with anyone quit like him in her books. Snape is too bitter, Hermione is too outgoing and . Noah is the ultimate image of what (I think) children boys are really like, and who better to break him of his fear of people than Luna? I really appreciate you taking the time to jot down your simple thoughts and though I doubt I will be updating extremely soon, I do plan on updating eventually. I\'m not the kind to give up on a story so don\'t get worried if it\'s been a few months and there\'s still nothing. <3! ~Beauty Fades
Date: 09/24/07 Title: Chapter 3: Communicating with the life form called friends
I assume that as this story is set at Hogwarts, and that the characters are actually in England. Therefore, Benjamin would have no cause whatsoever to imitate his cousin's accent, as he speaks in exactly the same way (unless, of course, Benjamin is American.) Just thought you ought to know. Otherwise, good story!
Author's Response: Lol! Yes... I thought I made it apparent from the sorting hat, him being sorted into Ravenclaw, and the headmaster named Dumbledore that they were indeed at Hogwarts. But yes, when I made up the accents in my head I imagined Noah and Benjamin being American while Zacheriahs was \"snooty english boy\". Thanks for letting me know. I guess I should have clarified that since (thank God..) people can\'t read my mind. :)
Thanks for your encouraging review! Chapter 4 should be up soon. I want to finish this up so I can start on the 2nd in this series. -wiggles eyebrows-

Honoring Sacrifice by Gmariam
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Harry Potter spent seven years hating Severus Snape. The enigmatic Potions master made life at Hogwarts miserable at times, yet was always acting in accordance with a much higher purpose than Harry could have possibly imagined. This is the story of how Harry came to understand, forgive, and honor the man who died to protect him.
Date: 09/03/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One: Understanding
Wow, this was incredible. I could really feel Harry's pain. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the great review! Yes, Harry is going to have a lot to sort out post-DH, isn\'t he? I hope to continue with the next chapter soon (I\'m bouncing between two - maybe three - stories now.) Thanks so much for reading this one and for leaving such a great review!! ~Gina :)
Teddy by dumbledorefluertwins
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It's Teddy Lupin's first year at Hogwarts. As an orphan, he has bounced backwards and forwards between his grandmother and his godfather. Follow him on a journey where he discovers the values of friendship, family and love, along with fighting the prejudices against his father, and getting through Defense Against the Dark Arts, with a teacher who just seems to hate him for no reason...
*DH spoilers, obviously*
NOTE: I am sorry, but I have left this site, due to lack of time and personal issues concerning RL and the site. This story is discontinued here, but may well be posted elsewhere in the future.
Date: 12/19/07 Title: Chapter 5: Professor Dermot
OK, Kevin (I adore inanimate objects with names!) Here's your review:
I ABSOLUPOTIVILY LOVED IT!!!!!!
The story was fascinating. You captured the personality of an eleven-year-old boy perfectly! I would like to meet Ted. Keep updating quickly!
The only thing I would suggest (and only because I'm an ultra-stickler for these things, it's nothing personal!) is to watch punctuation, especially apostrophes. But I know how it can get when you're in full creative flow; you sometimes miss those things.
Author's Response: Yes, I am sorry about my grammar. I am actually PI acred, and I can spot errors in other people\'s writing easily, but when it comes to my own...
I do have a beta, but for the first few chapters I didn\'t, so those are probably the worst. ;)
I\'m glad you liked the story!

When All Hope Was Lost by junior_achievement
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Five different people attempt to cope with the events of the Final Battle. This is the DH chapter "The Flaw in the Plan" from the POV of five of our most beloved characters.
Date: 09/11/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Wow. This is a great story, and displays the characters' emotions very vividly. Keep writing!

Highway Code by shewhoguards
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Why Hermoine really *wasn't* sure that Ron could pass a Muggle driving test.
Would Have Done Well In Slytherin? by emmaholloway
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Albus Potter is still worried about which house he will be sorted into, but on the train he gets to know someone unexpected, whose own personality is even more unbelievable than the friendship between them. Will the immediate bond help the boys be placed into their best-suited houses?
Date: 09/29/07 Title: Chapter 1: Would Have Done Well In Slytherin?
Very good story--and very believable! It would be so cool if Scorpius actually were in Gryffindor!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. And what\'s to say he wouldn\'t be in Gryffindor?
Of Hair Products, Violent Trees, and Turquoise-Colored Robes by A Cappella
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Gilderoy Lockhart, the ever-vain wizard, has decided to take up teaching the Defence Against Dark Arts subject at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Follow him during his first day of school as he wrestles with back-talking students, unpleasant teachers, and absolutely no breaks in the day to style his hair.
Date: 09/29/07 Title: Chapter 1: Of Hair Products, Violent Trees, and Turquoise-Colored Robes
Ha! What a laugh! Gilderoy is so...well, he's actually rather stupid. And hilariously so! Thanks for the fun story!
A Fresh Start by Hypatia
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Scorpius Malfoy was brought up in the knowledge that he came from an old pure-blood family. Hogwarts is going to teach him a great deal more. Will he be able to rise above his family’s tainted past, or will history repeat itself?

A Little More Time by Pallas
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •

Date: 11/03/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One and Only
Wow. This story was AMAZING! It made me feel so much better about the whole Fred-and-George thing! Thanks!
Do I want you to continue writing? In your underwear drawer!
Author's Response: Hahahaha, way to use a line from my story! ^_^ If it turns into actual slang, I will giggle like mad. I had to write this story because I felt so sad about Fred dying, and I thought this might make me feel better.
Potter's Pentagon: The Truth (Book Two) by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This is book two in the "Potter's Pentagon" trilogy. Read "Potter's Pentagon: The Five" first, myesss? Cool.
WARNING: This story contains French people, an internal monologue about a blue orange, adolescent facial hair, good old-fashioned snogging, superstitious truck drivers, a portrait who calls everyone "Mavis," a zoo break-in, some very strange clothes, romantic conflict galore, and Ron Weasley's caffeine addiction. And worst of all, Professor Zabini!
Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament, and when one of the members of Potter's Pentagon is selected to represent the school, much excitement ensues. Simultaneously, elections are being held for Minister of Magic, and things are getting busy at the Ministry.
Not to mention the fact that Jordan's made a new Muggle friend without informing her of the itty-bitty fact that he's magical, Haley has found an enchanted diary of dubious origin, Ted's met a werewolf from Beauxbatons, and Emma... well, Emma's not having a good year.
And what exactly is Ivy up to, anyway?
Everyone has secrets. But in the end, the truth will have to come out.
Starring Best Male Original Character runner-up Jordan Potter, Best Female Original Character Nominees Ivy Potter, Emma Weasley, Haley Potter, and Giorgi Anderson, and Best Male Original Character nominee Ted Lupin! Nominated for Best Post-Hogwarts story in the 2008 Quicksilver Quill Awards!
Date: 04/16/08 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10: In Which Our Heroes Get Ready To Rumble
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! IT'S UP!!!!!! AFTER, LIKE, FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
k, enough with the squee-y review. maybe.
“Right, we’re now called Team Sparkle!” Haley proclaimed to the other members of her group. Vladislav raised an eyebrow disdainfully, and Haley whirled around and glared at him. “Be very glad that I’m not making you wear this pockety jacket and be the Team Sparkle mascot,” she hissed. “No more eyebrow antics, please-kay-thanks.”
Bahahahaha!!! I love Haley!!!!!!
Arden. Wow, I like her a lot. She's so insecure around everyone...You portrayed her really well.
Giorgi. Yay! More of her! She did really well with the whole wizard thing...i would have fallen in a dead faint, or else screamed/squeed at the top of my lungs for five minutes straight, then promptly fainted. That's totally cool. I love it I love it I love it!
I like Emma's hair issue...it's so...Emma-y. And her interactions with Tyrone are really believable.
What is the illegal thing? It'd better not be something dumb that Apple won't end up doing anyway so the kids showing up with Jordan's brilliant plot will be for naught. But I trust that won't happen, otherwise it would be entirely lame, much like my keyboard which hates me at the moment and is forcing me to use the delete key for all my stupid typos. But typos are beside the point, the point being UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: OH MY GOOOODDDDRIIIIC! It is up! It\'s funny, the exact excerpt that you posted is the one I posted as a \'sneak preview\' on Pride and Prejuiced Plums! As for Arden, she\'ll be playing a much bigger part in the next chapter, so that should be interesting. I\'m so strangely gleeful that this chapter is up... I feel like squeeeing myselllllf! I WILL UPDATE TODAY WHEN I GET HOME FROM SCHOOOOOOOL!
Date: 12/08/07 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: In Which Ted Continues To Be Adorable
I like it, as always. I loved your reference to the books. It would be so cool if that were true!
What will happen with Arden, Ted, and Ivy? (that was a rhetorical question, I know you won't answer it.) I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! I mean, Harry Potter books are such a big thing in the Muggle world, it wouldn\'t make sense for Giorgi not to know about them.
You can probably guess what will happen with Arden, Ted, and Ivy.
