I am an avid reader of all things HP, and I love every story I read here. My favorite authors are Subversa, Soap, KASK and Crystallic Rain, but I like many others.
Right now I am working on a Hannah Abbot story set during the Trio's (and Hannah's, as she's in their year) fifth year. Hannah's parents have been brutally murdered by Lord Voldemort and his minions, and Hannah joins Dumbledore's Army, eager to learn how to defend herself and fight against this scourge. She's more focused then she's ever been, but she hasn't told anyone else why she's so different this year. Her friends notice the change in her, but she cannot bring herself to tell anyone else about what happened. However, someone enters her life that just might change that. . .
Okay, yeah, that last part got really silly-sounding, but oh, well.
Please read the favorite stories! They're all wonderful!

Good! I love it! OMG it's so funny!
Katie!!
Oh no! I just came to the end of the story (for now) and I totally freaked out! Aggghhhhhh! I can so totally NOT WAIT until the next chapter! I think I might faint. . . .
--Twenty minutes later--
Well. I think I've gotten over that, but I still can't wait. I really love our stories, and my favorite part in this one is when Harry wakes up after he, you know, saves the world and all that, and later Ginny apologizes for slapping him, and they say: "I'm sorry for dying on you" Or something like that. That was really funny. I can't wait for the next chapter! I hope it comes soon.
Katie
Well! That WAS quite surprise! Poor Hermione. I guess she was really in love with Severus. . . -sniff-
That was a really well-written story! Of course I had to read through it again after finding out it was actually Ron (or was it? Is it George? That would make a lot of sense, too. . . the whole 'forbidden' thing. . . but I don't think they talk on the street. . . hmmm. . .), and it all is from Ron's point of view! You did such a good job hiding the truth without - for lack of a better word- lying! Congratulations!
Thank you so very much for a wonderful story! Your writing is convincingly emotional, and I really liked the POV.
~Katie
I am really impatient to hear what the 'accident' with Professor Fauna is all about! Grrr.
Katie
Oh, my gosh. Every time I read this story, I almost pass out from laughing so hard. And then I go back and read it all the way back through, just to annoy all the people in the room with my uncontrollable laughter.
Thank you so much for brightening up my day!
~Katie
That was the funniest romance thingy I have ever read! I laughed so hard my mom thought I was crying! Oh, jeez! I need to read it over and over and over and over and over and over and over... And over! The way that none of them really makes sense really reminds me of me with my friends! Loved it!!!
Katie
That is really sad! I really like it, although it's really sad. I like how you described the bond between Hermione, Ron and Harry. I also extremely like tha last sentance: "Harry pulled himself up and walked away silently. There was no going back now, he couldn't change a thing. She was gone, lost for eternity. The only place in his life that Ginny existed now was his memory, and forever in his heart." That is really, really, good. I have wondered for a long time what would happen between Ginny and Harry, and I think that so far, this is my favorite sad one. (Of course, I would prefer a happy one, but well-written sad ones are way better than fluffy happy ones.) Thank you for a terrific story!
Author's Response: Thank you very much for your review! I\'m glad you liked this despite its sadness, and that you thought it was well-written! Thanks again.
Yay! I was SO worried! But now I want to know what happened in the world thingy! Please, please, please tell! Oh, I can't wait!

Winner of the QuickSilver Quills Award, categ. Best Marauder Era.
What did being a Marauder truly mean?... Let's just say that some tunes cannot be played by a lone musician; and those four's lives were certainly not soloists' scores. In class or in detention, in Quidditch matches or full-moon wanderings, fleeing before monsters or confronting dark wizards, they wrote, measure after measure, their own eight-handed piece.Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, are proud to present a Symphony for Quartet.
Ah. That was a satisfying chapter! I really liked the way James was nervous about trying out, and then he was just happy to be in the air. That's how I feel when I get ready for a big soccer game. I think you captured that feeling beautifully, and I can't wait for the next chapter. I have enjoyed immensely reading this story, and though I haven't been here for each chapter, and this is my first time reading it, I still really like it, and I will make sure to leave comments whenever possible, because I know that they are very helpful and indeed, important for a writer, being one myself. I just wanted you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter especially, and other chapters, too. Thanks,
Katie
This story is really coming along well! I have always wondered how James and Sirius became friends. This is quite a good telling of how. I really like how James and Sirius are always making jokes about Pure-Bloods, and how James already plays tons of Quidditch even though he's not even at Hogwarts yet. Awesome. Well, Im off to read more! I'll review more after a while.
Katie
This chapter was absolutely WONDERFUL! It is by far my favorite chapter yet. The way Remus is so scared, I mean, that's exactly how I'd be feeling in his place! You wrote it so perfectly. About how James and Sirius go exploring at night and the way they almost get caught. That is so highly reminiscent of Harry and Ron when they find the mirror of Erised, I mean, it was just totally spellbinding. Wonderful. Once again, I shall call it wonderful.
Katie
Agh! Another Cliff-hanger! But the whole story has been really good! Really well-thought-out! I like it a lot, and I can barely wait for the next chapter! Oh! It's so exciting! I was waiting for the wedding, but I also hope that Harry and Ginny get back together. I am relying on the fact that Hermione and Ron are for sure getting back together, because if they didn't, that would kinda ruin the whole story. But it is really good! I hope you'll like my story. It's a Hermione/Ron Harry/Ginny one, too. But it's really fluffy. It has some plot. but mostly just fluff. It's in the queue, but I would be so grateful if you read and commented on it. I need some input, because so far the only one who has read it is my brother, and since he's a boy (no offense boys, but all you girls will know what I am talking about), he really didn't have anything beneficial to the story to add. Sorry I've been so chatty, but that's the way I am. Oh, well.
Katie
That's quite beautiful.
Some parts are rather preposterous, I must say, like the 'There was nothing in him/That could breathe fire' part, but it was quite well-written, and was pretty. It painted quite a realistic picture. You have a wonderful way with words.
~Katie
AHHHHH! Now I really can't wait for the next chapter! It must come now! Nownownownownownownownowownownownow!
Urgh. I despise waiting.
Anyhoo. . .
This is a very good story, with a nice plot line. I wasn't just being nice when I said I couldn't wait for the next chapter. That was a very well-brought-off cliffhanger. Are you a professional? But anyway. The way Draco seemed think there was something familiar about 'Erin' when he and Ginny met at that bar/club/whatever it was was what I would have written. I mean, not exactly, but that is how I would have portrayed it. That was one of my favorite parts. My other favorite part was when Ginny (as Ginny) and Lucius locked eyes and Mr. Malfoy was a little confused. But I don't understand what happened. In the next chapter, that scene never happens, and Ginny just walks in and gets her bag. I just wanted to alert you to that. But anyway. (I know I that way too much, but I can't help myself) I really liked your story! I hope to read more soon.
Katie
Author's Response: They didn\'t lock eyes. Lucius saw Ginny, but she didn\'t see him. The hotel\'s windows are tinted, so she couldn\'t have seen inside. I haven\'t posted it here yet, but there is a new chapter posted at www.dracoandginny.com under the author name KateinVA.
Thank you for this wonderful contribution to my life. I loved it. All of your stories have been wonderful. I'm sorry I can't read all of them at once, but that would ruin the experience. Thank you.
Katie
That was truly wondrous. I loved it. I cannot think of any other way to say that, because that is the best one.I also love all of your other stories, and I cannot wait to read more stories by you. I am extremely glad I found this one, and it has been a privilege to read and review this one. Once again, I will remind you that it is simply wondrous. Thank you for another great read!
Katie
That was good! I'm sure I could never do anything that good from some random sentences from random books. I really like it!
Katie
That was amazing. It was so peaceful and quiet. . . but sad. It was a beautiful, tragic story. . . it was quite poetic, really. You are an amazing writer. I am deeply impressed, but very glad and honored to have read something so very well-crafted and wonderfully written.
Thank you for a wonderful literary experience, from the bottom of my soul.
~Katie
P.S
Ugh! That sounded so cheesy! I swear to Godric it was completely serious, though! You are a truly terrific writer. Also, I was due for some flowery prose.
~Katie
Oh. Wow. That story was so good. So beautiful. I cried. I can't really think of any other praising things to say. That was the most pretty, calming, romantic, lovely thing I think I have ever read. Thank you for making my, well, night.
Katie
Author's Response: Aw! Thank you! :D
*sob*
I have a brother exactly like Will. . . I can't possibly imagine what it would be like for him to do something like that. . . *curls up and cries*
I. . . I'm afraid I really can't say anything else about this story. . . I guess it just hits too close to home. . . that's what makes it so good. I love this story. . . and yet I don't. . .
Thank you for yet another wonderful reading experience. *cries*
