Take My Hand
(Harry/Ginny)
A one shot focusing on the last day of Harry's life. Inspired by the quote from Les Mis
Take my hand and lead me to salvation. Take my love, for love is everlasting. And remember the truth that once was spoken, to love another person is to see the face of god."

Maybe an epilogue :D
Updates / What I'm Writing Now
Tuesday the 5th of November
Remember my last post? Well this is me eating my words. Turns out studying all the time is boring, so I finished chapter 14 of ADVOL as of today it's in the queue.
I am also so happy I came second in QSQ for chaptered romance!
Big thanks also to hestiajones for nominating ADVOL for quick silver quills
About Me
I'm a 17 year old girl from Melbourne who loves random.
On the Beta boards I am Merlin_Helz
I love reading. This is obvious. I'm sure everyone on this site loves reading. I try and read lots of different genes but I'm a sucker for romance. I started reading Harry Potter when I was 11, it seams I have grown up at the same time as Harry.
Writing has been developing into a passion for me. It wasn't a sudden thing, just something that has been building up over time. I have always loved telling stories (my dad once gave me a medal with "My Favourite Story Teller" on it. This had a lot to do with the fact that my sister won lots of medals and I won nothing, but it I like to think he knew from a early age...) and story telling has now developed into passion for writing.
I mainly ship cannon. I can't help it. Harry/Ginny is my favourite, followed by Ron/Hermione. I enjoy James/Lily. I believe Snape had a chance with Lily, but he blew it. I think Lily was never in love with Snape, but she could have been if they had stayed friends. Instead she moved on and ended up in love with James. Recently I feel in love with Andromeda/ Ted and started writing a fic. For some reason I don't mind a bit of Dramione or Harry/Draco.... Don't ask me why...
On MMFF I read romance, as long as it contains adventure, conflict and humour. However, I still enjoy reading other genres, such as Dark/Angst, Marauder era and Post-Hogwarts if I feel like it.
I think it would be fun in MMFF had a random Fic button. Occasionally I just want to read something random. (That has been on my profile for ages, but I actually just suggested it on the forums...)
I love music, playing it and listening to it. Playing music is a great way to relax and cool off, or to just let out frustration.
Ravenclaw and proud of it!

Oh dear, you are unnaturally obsessed with Harry Potter. Your friends and family are worried, but they don't understand you. You constantly re-read your books, stick Harry Potter posters on your walls and trawl the internet for Harry Potter sites. Deep down, you secretly wish Hogwarts was real and that you were actually a wizard. There is hope for you to recover and lead a normal life, but only if you stop wearing those homemade robes.

At Friendship's End by SilverLily_13

A Christmas Request by JustLikeHermione77
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: George Weasley thought that he'd never have the courage to move on without his twin, his other half. But as he watches Ron sit at home without a job, he knows what he must do. The only problem is that thinking it is one thing, and actually doing it is something much more difficult...
Date: 11/03/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Nice job, i especially love the end, with the shooting star. Fred was one of the saddest deaths for me in the book so this fic is special.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I miss Fred too. :-(

Harry Potter and the Next Great Battle by pokecharm
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: After fighting the biggest battle of his life, Harry Potter finds himself in new, uncharted territory. Beginning a week after the final battle at Hogwarts, Harry finds himself with many choices before him. He spent the summer trying to sort out his future with Ginny and the Ministry, but now must find a way to balance both. Ginny has left for Hogwarts to complete her final year, with Hermione, and Harry is starting work as a full-fledged Auror. They both must find a way to make their long-distance relationship work. Ginny hopes to find peace at school and Harry hopes to build his life around the expectation that Ginny will be with him forever. Despite all of this, there is more to the work that Harry is doing with the Ministry then he realises. Will Gaunt prove trustworthy in these new endeavours? Will Ginny and Hermione have a horror-free year at Hogwarts?
Date: 11/21/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Back to the Beginning

Hogwarts Houses Divided by Inverarity
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary:
Teddy Lupin's first year at Hogwarts. Canon-compliant. Nominated for a 2008 QSQ for best Post-Hogwarts story.
The war is over, and all is well, they say, but the wounds remain unhealed. Bitterness divides the Houses of Hogwarts. Can the first children born since the war's end begin a new era, or will the enmities of their parents be their permanent legacy?
Date: 01/15/08 Title: Chapter 3: The Sorting
That was so cool!!!!
Love the last line of the song. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Angela by Phia Phoenix
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Written around the lyrics to Angela by Missy Higgins, this one-shot explores a few "what if" questions: what if the places were reversed and it was Lily whose feelings for James were unrequited, what if Sirius had a sister and what if she happened to be Hogwart's very own Mean Girl? Well, if you feel like some light reading, try this story!
Date: 11/01/08 Title: Chapter 1: Angela
What a great story! I loved the way you switched the roles of Lily and James. The ending was just perfect! :)
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks Helz... I usually hate fluff, but couldn't resist here. Glad you liked!
A Black Tonks by Mistletoe
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It's the biggest battle I've ever faced in my life: my blood or my love? The two can be ambiguous, but in my case, they are black and white, day and night. I had been seemingly repressed by my family for too long, so I did the one thing that allowed me a choice. I ran away.
TT/AB
Date: 11/08/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I absolutely adore A/T and this story really does the pairing justice.
I won't write a long review, just a quick message to say I really adored this One-Shot. I especially liked the idea that she welcomed being burned off the tapestry. Nice touch :)
I have no nitpicks & I didn't spy any typos or errors.
Once again great job :)
As The Clock Strikes Twelve by Tim the Enchanter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The Ministry has fallen.
Under the new regime, there is a chamber in the depths of the Ministry of Magic that the condemned enter, but do not leave. This is the story of a man about to die.
Or is he? Fate is a fickle thing…
Nominated for QSQ 2009, Best Dark/Angst.
Date: 04/19/09 Title: Chapter 1: As The Clock Strikes Twelve
Oh wow. Just wow.
Rarely do you see a fanfiction which is truly realistic to the state of war. Not everyone has a crazy, daring escape that many people write into their stories and often the people who don't escape are ignored to become another "dead sidekick" type character. Rarely do they get their own thoughts and feelings written down and explained. Like you probably intended, I got sucked into believing that William was escaping with a blaze of glory, until you hit home with that final point- his. It really hammers home the message that in a war, not everyone escapes, but everyone wishes that they could. *Sniff* Poor William never got to see his family, but at least they were the last thing he imagined.
Fantastic piece, shows how versatile that you are with writing. Keep up the good work :)
Author's Response:
Poor William here would be lucky to be a “dead sidekick.” He’s not associated with any big names – he’s just another expendable pawn, a “dead extra,” if you will. Duly noted, wars are not fought by the politicians and generals. It is the little people who fight, suffer, die, and there is little glamour in their desperate fights for survivals. Perhaps this very insignificance is what makes good dark/angst material.
Anyway, thanks for reviewing, and I’m glad this little story made an impression on you.

Full Circle by Sirenny
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Harry was pretty sure it had been an unfortunate trick of the light, and therefore dismissed it as stress combined with an unhealthy lack of sleep finally taking their toll on his sanity. The start of the new school year was, undoubtedly, a wonderful thing. Getting his three children onto the train with the bare minimum of fuss, outrage and actual bodily harm was quite another.
Date: 09/13/08 Title: Chapter 1: Full Circle
That was a really good one-shot. You managed to interweave two storys - Albus's and Dudleys. You brought up many interesting idea's that brought a lot of depth to the tail. Good job!
In the Light by Trivia Camlee
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A green light can pierce your soul, heart, and, in Petunia's case, mind. My interpretation of Petunia's reaction to Lily's death.
Date: 07/19/08 Title: Chapter 1: Remember when the light comes
Wow that was really well done. I love the rythem you achieved, drawing the reader in. "When all along, I was Jealous. Jealous- But not anymore" that was a very powerful line. Petunia's remorse for the way she treated Lily was displayed perfectly. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you feel I portrayed her remorse well, and that the poem had a good rhythm! Thanks again :)
Hero by thechocolatefrog
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The war has been over for five years, but the world is still treating Harry like he defeated Voldemort yesterday. Why doesn't anyone realize that he is a hero for other reasons?
Date: 11/24/08 Title: Chapter 1: Hero
Awww that was rather cute little one-shot. I espeically love the last line, "Because you never wanted to be everyone else's." It was just perfect. You really captured Harry - that he didn't want to be a hero and the girl (was is Ginny? It felt like it was Ginny) loving him anyway. Great Job :)
A Good Shag by DragonDi
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: An unexpected mission has Sirius teasing Remus about his standards--which leads Remus to do something even more unexpected. (Contains sexual innuendo--but with a title like that, what else would you expect?)
Date: 11/02/09 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Aww, what a sweet little one-shot. Remus can sure be charming when he wants to...before he goes Emo!Remus. Thanks for writing this, I really enjoyed it.
Congratulations on being runner up in the QSQ :D
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words! Poor Remus--he didn't mean to go all Emo--he was just trying to protect Tonks. Really! :)
Thanks for the congratulations--it is truly an honour!
The Survivor by Lola-Louisa
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: It's a month after Voldemort's death and Harry is called to the Ministry of Magic by Kingsley.
There he is introduced to a young woman who was found at Malfoy Manor. Everyone thinks she's insane, but Harry knows better.
The girl has a story to tell, a story that will help Harry come to terms with the horrors of the last seven years.
But someone doesn't want the girl's story told. In fact, they will do anything to stop her talking.
Harry must save the girl, and save himself, before it's too late... Suicide warning for brief mention in chapter 4.
Date: 06/25/08 Title: Chapter 1: The Strange Young Woman
Hey that was really well done.
Characterisation of the other members of the trio- wary of Harry's motives but supportive none the less- was well done.
Being rejected for typos sucks. I am the typo queen!

Who is the bunch of rags???
Looking foward to the rest of the story! Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thanks, I\'m in the process of re-editing Chapter 3, so it should be up soon!\r\nGlad you liked it! As for the pile of rags, you\'ll have to wait and see!\r\n\r\nLola x
The Only Goodbye by Hufflepuff at heart
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This story follows Dennis Creevey, right after the final battle at Hogwarts. Having lost his big brother and best friend, he must struggle to come to terms with his own grief and the grief of his father.
He could remember forcing his way through the mass of bodies, fighting through the crowd to reach his brother who lay, eyes closed, in the centre of the hall.
He remembered the restraining arms and the disjointed phrases such as "Colin" and "dead" and "sorry", all of which were meaningless, as all Dennis wanted to do was wake his brother and feel safe and happy again.
Date: 08/04/08 Title: Chapter 1: The Only Goodbye
Well done. For me, Colin's death was one of the hardest hitting (probably the hardest after Fred.) You have used such good emotion, depth and imagery, I was able to picture his father as the milk bottle shattered on the floor. Congratulations on the deeply saddening, yet wonderful fic.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing, I really appreciate when someone takes the time to let me know what they thought. It really was terrible how Colin died, and I suppose I'm pleased to hear that I hit the right note in my "memorial" to him, although it's terribly sad that I had to! Thanks again!
Blood, Tears, and a Diamond by MerrryD
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Charity Burbage never considered herself a strong or brave person. That is until she met Jack. Jack gave her fire and soul. He encouraged her to stand up for what she believed in. But when a tragedy strikes, Charity’s world is turned upside down. Should she take the easy way out or continue to fight for what’s right?
I am MerryD, proud Hufflepuff.
Date: 07/13/08 Title: Chapter 1: Blood, Tears, and a Diamond
Firstly I would like to say wow. That story was truly well written. It keep me intrigued the whole way though. When I first saw your banner on the Beta boards it caught my eye. I knew I just had to click on it. I am very glad I did. Well done on an excellent job. It really moved me.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! That banner is incredible, isn\'t it? Laur is so talented. I\'m very glad that you did click on it, and even more glad that you liked it. :D xo Mere
To Draco, With Love by Hutchinson
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Draco somehow managed to get his very own advice column in Hogwarts' school paper, where he gives his sage opinion to those who dare to ask for it. Feel free to write in for advice about love, life, school, family, anything you can think of! But remember... with Draco, you tend not to get the answer you expected!
Date: 06/29/08 Title: Chapter 1: Issue the First
Hehe
You characterized Draco well, while making him humorous. Nice Job!
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: A stellar compliment! Thank you for the note!
