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!

I really loved it, although I'm not supposed to write that. I really loved all the descriptive words, and the soft, gentle, (how should I say this...) sway of the words. It was Ginny, right? I like the part in the middle where they kiss. That has a very sad, lonesome quality to it. Very good. I hope you had as much fun writing it as I did reading it (even though I know that sounds SO cheesy), because I felt really at peace when I read about the lake, and the colors. The picture you put in my mind is just so beautiful. I'm sure it'll stay with me for a long, long time. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. It was wonderful!
Author's Response: aw, thanks! Yes, it was Ginny. ;)

I loved this! I ESPECIALLY like the way all the small plot problems were cleared up quite nicely, if I do say so myself. I really like the fact that she was an R.A.B and so was Regulus. (although she was really an W.R.A.B, but still) I thank you very much for a wonderful read.
Katie
Author's Response: I\'m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your lovely review!
That was a very touching story (I'm assuming it's over; should I be corrected? I'm sorry if I'm wrong; that just seemed like a pretty good stopping point, although I would love it if it went on a bit more, though there really isn't that much to add.)! I absolutely loved the character of Walburga, and I liked how she was and R. A. B., in a roundabout way. I also like how you added information from D.H; that was a nice touch. I deeply enjoyed this story, and I hope there are many more to come!
Katie
Author's Response: No, you\'re definitely correct, this was the end, it was intended more or less as an epilogue. After I killed Regina (which I feel rather bad about) I realized that Kreacher was the only being left who cared deeply for her. I sort of wanted to highlight that. I\'m hoping to write more about her and Alph\'s childhood at some point, but that will definitely be a separate story from this one. I\'m really glad that you enjoyed this one, thank you for your lovely review!
Oh, wow! I love it! I just wish there was more to read; I was totally swept up in the story! I am already impatient for the next chapter! Love it!
Katie
Oh man. Words cannot describe how much I loved this story. I loved to bits. Nope, doesn't quite work. I loved it more than anything. Nope, too cheesy. Well, anyway. I absolutely loved it. It is the best story I have read so far. I loved it how Severus was finally recognized for the hero that (I think) he is. And my favorite part was when Ron was talking to Hermione at the wedding, and she corrected him when he called Severus 'Snape' That was totally awesome. I hope I love other stories that you write/wrote, and I am looking forward to many more good ones. Thanks for everything!
Katie
You are kind of putting off the consummation, but it's still really, really good.
Katie
I really like this, and I like how it never really says who's talking. That was a nice addition to an already totally harmonic story. If you can decipher that, then maybe you will be happy, but even I couldn't think of a better word, so you'll just have to trust that I wasn't totally insulting you. I really did think that it had a definite beat to it, and that even if you didn't plan it that way, that it was actually kind of peaceful. I loved it. I hop you write more like it.
Katie
Author's Response: Thank you! I love your reviews! :D Look out for the next chapter!
Oh. My. God.
That was the best ever. That was the most, I don't know how to say it, exciting story ever. It had my heart beating so fast the whole time! oh my gosh! I could never, ever, write something that good. And I'm not trying to put myself down. I'm just stating the obvious. That was the best, most descriptive story I think I have ever read.
Author's Response: Thank you ever so much for your lovely words. I\'m sure I don\'t quite deserve them, but they\'re lovely to hear! I\'m really happy that you enjoyed the descriptions and really felt with the characters.
Oh, wow! I really need to find out what happens next! This is a short story so far, but I have a feeling it's going to get very interesting... and I can't wait until it does!
Author's Response: I have this prologue followed by two chapters and an epilogue. Don\'t worry, things get a bit more interesting.

This was a welcome relief from all the Dark/angsty stories I've been reading. Thank you! I loved it, it was so funny!
Katie
Author's Response: Sugary sweet with humor on top! That\'s they way I like it....:D
I really liked that. I can't really say anything except that my favorite part was the funeral, when it had Harry and Ginny, and Harry was talking to Andromeda. I also really like when Harry and Ginny are taking care of Teddy, and they have those "He/she'll be such a good father/mother to my children" looks on their faces. That was really well done.
Katie
Author's Response: Thank you, Katie. I\'m very glad you liked it. ~Ken
Ahhh. That was good, though I thought Remus' death was a little sudden. I mean, dying in someone's arms is all well and good, but 'And he died in Tonks’ arms.' is a little TOO sudden, don't you think? And the duel between Tonks and Bellatrix was a little short. I think it would have been a bit better if there was a heated dueling scene. Other than that, I have nothing but praise for this little fic.
The way Tonks knew the curse was going to hit, and they way you described it as 'a bittersweet moment' was totally perfect.
Wonderful.
Katie
Author's Response: I understand what you\'re saying. I think you\'re right, too. I just wrote and didn\'t really think about it. I was hoping someone would like that part with Tonks. Thanks for the great review!
That was. . . extreme. I loved it! I really should stop saying that about every story I read, but there have been some memorable times when I didn't, and in this case, it's true. The way Draco thinks about how Hermione's eyes are sad and desperate, in contrast to the way they're normally fiery and bright, is just so heartbreaking. I really never thought of it is so much detail, and you really helped. That is exactly how I think Draco could have been feeling at that point: helpless, sad, depressed, scared, even angry. is there going to be any more? Or does it end here? I think it would be great either way. I thank you for yet another great read here on MNFF.
Katie
Nice start! I really like it so far. I like how Sirius is all playful and careless. Totally him. And I like how "Nymmie" is so, well, unreachable. But I hope we find out more about her as the story progresses. Unless that's the end, but I really hope not, although it's not bad the way it is, and it could just be a peek into life after. . . whenever this is after. I assumed it's the third book, but I don't really know. Maybe it's AU. But I really like, it and am looking forward to the next addition.
Katie
Author's Response: It is AU, and the setting is somewhere in OotP. Don\'t worry, it\'s definitely not the end because I have to give Tonks a lot more depth to her character, and why she\'s so secretive. I wanted people to see the other side of her, and I hope I\'m doing well so far. Oh, and I love writing Sirius. He\'s so fun. Thanks for the review!
Loooooved iiiiiiiit! That was wonderful. Luna was absolutely PERFECT. I loved her spontaneity. It is masterfully done. I can't wait for another installment. I'm afraid I can't say it's VERY funny, but it's also not that. . .erm. . . unfunny. . . so yeah.
Author's Response: Ha! Thanks for the review, Katie-my-baby. Like I said in my author\'s notes, I know that it probably won\'t be laugh out loud funny but it is meant to be entertaining and as long as it does that, I\'m perfectly happy. As you know m\'dear, I\'m more about the sarcastic and whitty (-wink, wink-) come backs. It\'s harder when making up the entire comversation.
Thanks again for your support!

Yay! I have the first review! Hooooooorrrrrrrraaaaaayyyyyyy! Anyhoo.
I like how Noah's mom is so crazy. In a good way. I like crazy people. I think his mom's kinda like Luna, but I think that should make him like Luna a little better, if only because he's lived with a person like her for as long as he's lived.
But the story is coming along very well so far! I like how your characters stay the same, instead of developing a bunch of new talents and characteristics in one chapter, although it is, of course, good to develop them. But not give them super powers. I'll stop now. I'm getting off topic.
Author's Response: -poses- The real first review!

Anyway, thank you so much for actually posting this. I know you weren't sure if you're gonna, but I sure am glad you did!
Katie
Author's Response: Katie, my love! I could kiss you at this moment, but I shan\'t because we\'re... in a public place and.... I\'m not like that. lol.
Anyways, moving away from that awkward moment.... Yay! My first reviews! Though technically this one isn\'t! Because you accidently posted the same one twice!
Hehe. I love you anyway, Katie-M\'lady.
(audience: O.o -whispers- She seems to be getting to worse at this....)
Lol. Naw. Thanks for your encouraging comments. They made me have enough courage to let the public view this with open eyes.
(Audience: -handslaptoforehead- What else would they read it with?
Ok. I shall stop now with our inside jokes and embaressing myself. Thanks for the review. lol. That\'s what I should have said from the beginning and left it there but I didn\'t.
The End
(audience: O.o Well that was gay....... We want our money back...!)
Short, but oh so very sweet! I liked that chapter very much, because Sirius is, as you put it, 'not a very verbose young man,' and Anne, as a Slytherin, obviously isn't going to gush disgustingly, but your scene was absolutely perfect. Thank you so so so so so so much!
~Katie
*sigh* Oh. That was so sweet. I just love them as a couple. Even if I do constantly feel bad for poor Severus who never shared love with another person. James and Lily are the perfect couple. They are just so beautiful together, especially the way you portrayed them. It's just lovely.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for another terrific chapter!
Katie
Ooh, nice! I loved your description of their kiss. I also like how Sirius was so clueless around a girl who didn't idolize him and wasn't all hormones and smiles around him. He's so cute when he's clueless.
