Although I'm sure they're unrelated, but when you talked about rangas and then mentioned Julia, that wasn't a slick reference to Julia Gillard, was it? Either way, it made me laugh.

I'm interested to see who the real Julia is! And what happened to her Dad, too.

Author's Response: actually, i had no idea what you were talking about until i went back and read my chapter. no, it was not a reference to julia gillard. julia is named julia because i needed a name so i borrowed the one belonging to the girl who was conviniently sitting next to me at the time!
anywho, as for the real julia and her dad, we shall see!

I was sucked in by your beautiful banner! Kudos to the amazing genius at TDA.

I loved this first chapter. I'm Australian too, and it was weird to read about droughts and Melbourne on this site!

I liked how you threw James at us at the very start at the train, in a nonchalant sort of way, rather than a big leadup to the great James Sirius Potter that I read so much.

Author's Response: hahaha, i know right? i love it
thank you so much! im from australia and it seems like were never mentioned so i decided to be different/ same goes for james :P
thanks for reading and reviewing :)

A really great first chapter! I'm intrigued by Tessa's past, (angst is my guilty pleasure) and i thought it was a nice touch to have her reject Gryffindor for Ravenclaw, can't wait to see where this goes!

Author's Response: thank you so much!
hahaha, i love angst to :)
thanks, i didn't want her to be in gryffindor for a number of reasons which will be explained later. I've already writen the next chapter so it should be out in a couple of days :)

wow. really.wow. i don't know what to say...
ok, this story is deffinately different from anything else I have read. and when tessa was looking for michelle, i thought she was on drugs or something but i think you heald the suspense well right until the end to reveal to the reader that she self harms.
im really interested to see what happens, please update soon!

Author's Response: Haha, I thought that maybe the flashback bit was slightly crazy. Reading it again, I can deffinately see how you thought she was on drugs :P
next chapter is 95% done :)
