Review #51, by TheHeirOfSlytherinIllusions of a perfect marriage: What have you done now?

17th April 2013:
Oh, Amelia. He begs and he pleads and she still wants to hurt him. Of course, I'd probably want to hurt him, too, if he'd lied to me about this, but he's just so adorable. Why is she ignoring that???

Yay for slapping Albus. He's so weird, he really deserved it. And he blamed Hugo! He is not even in the same league as Hugo - that boy's insane (well, my boy anyway :P). I was so happy when she hugged James, even if it was just to make things look real (why are they separated? Must. Read). She should hug James more. :D

Awesome chapter!

Sam.

Author's Response: Oh yeah Amelia totally has a right to hurt him for his lies, but can't she see his cute little face and just forgive him? :D

Albus is definitely weird, I think that Hugo should get him back for that, if he ever heard him. Haha oh yes your Hugo is definitely insane and pretty awesome! :D
Haha you will find out soon I promise, and she should be hugging James all the time! Or if not her hugging him, I'll hug him :D

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Review #52, by TheHeirOfSlytherinLogarithmic: (1)

17th April 2013:
You posted it! I was so excited when I saw this in Recently Added. :D

I love Eloise, I love that she not the typical girl every guy falls for. It's something new to see. Plus she's a minor character, they deserve the love! :D

I look forward to seeing this story progress, if she'll come out of her caterpillar shell (lovely metaphor!), how she'll end up with Cormac, how she'll deal with his arrogance. It's an interesting pairing, definitely one worth pursuing. I'm excited for more. :)

Sam.

(Thank you for the dedication. :D)

Author's Response: Hi Sam!

I'm happy you like Eloise, I was worried she'd fall into the quiet girl stereotype...

As for Cormac, the next chapter is more in his point of view, so I hope you'll like him!

Thank you for your lovely review, and of course you were going to get a dedication :)

Review #53, by TheHeirOfSlytherinIllusions of a perfect marriage: It's Party time!

16th April 2013:
Haha. He coughed to make sure Amelia didn't know they were going away! So sneaky, so clever! I love James. That is an admittedly awesome holiday, I can't wait to see where they go and what happens while they're there.

Oh, Ron. Everybody was picking on him. And Harry got him a jumper? :O But the broom was cool. Harry's joke was a total eye-roll moment. Oh, Harry. :P

Awesome chapter!

Author's Response: James is the sneakiest person! He's so awesome isn't he? haha.

I am jealous of their holiday, it was the only thing I could think of that would have them all under the same roof, and I like to think that they would at least have tried to do it once.

Haha yeah, poor Ron, it's his birthday after all!

I love Harry's corny jokes so much! I used to make them with my friend all the time, so Harry birthday comes from me used to put it on her birthday cards haha.

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Review #54, by TheHeirOfSlytherinIllusions of a perfect marriage: I love you too honey

16th April 2013:
Oooh, why was James coughing? What was Harry saying? Was he really just choking on his food? Because that seems too coincidental... *puts on thinking cap... then finds Hugo*

Why did they get divorced? I really need to know and there's so many things to ask. I'm just full of questions with this chapter and, although I love that I have questions, I'm glad this is complete and I don't have to wait so long for answers. :D

It's sad that Lucy can't be there.

Another amazing chapter.

Sam.

Author's Response: James is definitely up to something, not wanting Amelia to hear what Harry has to say.
Haha Hugo would definitely help you work it out :D

Ahh the big divorce question, they haven't technically got a divorce yet, but they are close, or were close :p You won't have to wait long don't worry :D

I miss Lucy, but she'll be there soon!

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Review #55, by TheHeirOfSlytherinIllusions of a perfect marriage: Waking up in Vegas

16th April 2013:
Hey again! It's kinda sad that James and Adam aren't speaking more, that's he's potentially losing his best friend. Understandable, of course, he's siding with his sister; at least he's only ignoring the letters (Kieron would totally be kicking Al's butt if it was him and Lexi :P). I do hope they'll be okay, though. Maybe when James and Amelia get back together... ;)

Haha. Married in Vega - totally something I should have expected. It just seems so much like... Them. It's what they do. I can't really see James getting married in a church. :P

This was an amazing chapter!

Sam.

Author's Response: Heya!! *waves* Poor Adam and James, they were such awesome friends as well :-( Haha Adam has been told by Amelia to not hurt James, as much as he wants to. Although if he was Kieron, he would have ignored her and just done it anyway :p
:D I do love a bit of Adam and James friendship :D

Of course they get married whilst drunk, that's how the best marriages are made! I totally wanted a cliche wedding haha and it does fit them so that's a bonus right there, definitely James's doing.

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Review #56, by TheHeirOfSlytherinIllusions of a perfect marriage: Why did I agree to become Mrs Potter?

2nd April 2013:
Oh, James, you little sneak! Gah, I love him. He's so awesome, for an arrogant jerk who's using his wife and lying...

*waves hand dismissively* details. :P

I love Amelia, that she knows how to handle James (mostly) even though she can't put up with his pleading. But I'd give in, too, if I had to look at his eyes. :P I also love her respect for his James, that she not okay with him lying. Points for Mrs. Potter. :D

Aww, she got butterflies in her stomach. She lurves him. ;) I hope she gets the picture back. It makes me REALLY wanna know why they got divorced and I want them back together, like, now. Please. :D

Sam.

Author's Response: Oh James is very sneaky :p And you're right very arrogant haha.
But yes those are just minor details! :p

Amelia does know when to handle James, when she doesn't give in to her feelings for him. Oh yeah big points to Amelia for letting him know she's not okay with the plan, but going along with it anyway.

She totally lurves him! :D

You'll find out soon enough my lovely!


Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Review #57, by TheHeirOfSlytherinIllusions of a perfect marriage: The king of arrogance makes an appearance

2nd April 2013:
Is it okay for me to love James? Well, I'm gonna go ahead and love him anyway. He's so adorably charming when he's up to something. It's funny to read, I can't stop laughing. I can't wait to find out why the got divorced. :)

Great first chapter.

Sam.

Author's Response: You can love James :D You might not later on but you can for now :p
He's definitely up to something.
I'm so glad that this made you laugh :D
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Review #58, by TheHeirOfSlytherinA Spoonful of Sugar: Ten

29th March 2013:
Aunt Pavarti? Is Darcy a Patil? Ten chapters in and I'm still learning new things... :P

Ah, Louis. He gets more and more awesome with every chapter. Taking her bacon and the teasing was just adorable. And I think Lucy is definitely right; they could totally be good together if Darcy weren't so stubborn and they got along. Despite my weird 'I can't believe Louis isn't gay' voice in my head, which I ignore gladly for this story, I love Louis/Darcy and can't wait for the moment she realises he loves him. I mean, who wouldn't? ;)

Great chapter, Cassie.

Sam.

Author's Response: Hi Sam!
Yes, Darcy is a Patil! Her mother is Padma Patil and her father is Seamus Finnigan (which you probably guessed). My one-shot The Boy With The Blue Hair is about Darcy, so that's where you first learn who her parents are :) I'm so thrilled that you like Louis! I'm really trying to balance his annoying side with the side that really likes Darcy! Thank you so much for the lovely review!

Review #59, by TheHeirOfSlytherinThe Worst: Reflecting and Brooding

29th March 2013:
Oooh, at first I thought Dom's boss was nice, but she went to professional and kinda cold so quickly that I'm not so sure whether I'm meant to like her or not. I'll have to come back to that.

Oh, Teddy. I wish I was there to hug him. I like that he's giving her her space, but it's sad that she ignored him. I knew he would come to her eventually. I hope they can work things out, that she can at least come to terms with her lycanthropy enough to stay with him, even though it seems hard for me to see her as able to come to terms with her lycanthropy at all. At least right now.

Loving this story more and more. The flashback was so cute. :)

Sam.

Author's Response: Hey Sam! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I am pleased you're following my story!

Dom's boss is a weird character, even I don't know yet whether I like her or not xP

Yeah Teddy is going to need a lot of comfort, especially since he's the bringer of more bad news for Dom. *That was a spoiler for chapter 4 haha*

Well as for them working things out, you'll have to wait and watch what happens! There's a lot more that is going to happen so I am excited what you're going to think about the future chapters.

Thank you so much for your lovely review once more and I am glad you liked the flashback!

Review #60, by TheHeirOfSlytherinJust Decide: Only Hope

29th March 2013:
Omg! I saw the latest two chapter and I was all like YOU'RE BACK! And I was so happy! I've missed this story.

She told the truth! Finally! And what an entrance she made. It had me cheering a little!

It was Leonard! I knew it! Killing Terence to be Minister, then getting rid of Draco because he was second. Is he first now? Will Draco be Minister? Or will he pass it over? I kinda hope he takes the job, he'd be awesome.

They got back together! And the crowd applauded! As they should after all they've been through!

I am so very excited to read the epilogue, and also very sad that this story is ending. I can't wait!

Sam.

Review #61, by TheHeirOfSlytherinWolf Calling: Doubt

28th March 2013:
Aww, it is good news. She's pregnant - it had been a thought, but I wasn't sure. It's sad that she has so much to worry about with the baby. The thought of your baby going through that pain would be horrible. I hope the baby doesn't have Lycanthropy, but if it does, at least they'll be more prepared this time. It must have been worse when they found out about Remus.

Also, I just love that they named their son after Ted's dad. Little Remus is just adorable.

I get that they'd be frustrated about the case, since they seem to be no where near to finding the werewolf attacking the children, but really, they could have been a little nicer to poor Louis - this may jut be my love for him showing, I don't like it when people are mean to him, but still. At least Thomas is giving him a chance. :)

This was a great chapter and I can't wait for more!

Sam.

Author's Response: Yes, Vic's pregnant, but very worried that the baby will end up with lycanthropy like Remus, which is only natural. She'll discover if the baby will have lycanthropy before she has it (in the next few chapters). I'm kind of tempted to write a one-shot about when they had Remus and discovered he had lycanthropy (and wasn't just a carrier of the disease like Ted is). But if I do then I won't have time to write it for at least another 4 weeks (I graduate from university at the end of next month, then I'll have more time to write since I'll just be job searching). And I thought it was fitting that Ted would want to name their first son after his father since he lost both his parents when he was just a couple months old. I just have so much fun writing little kids. (:

Yeah, it'll take some time for them to accept Louis, but that's normal. Here they've done all this work and all of a sudden they have another healer joining them, and on top of that this new healer is fresh out of his training hours. But you'll see him with the whole team in the next chapter and there will be at least one member of the team that helps lend a hand and doesn't treat him like an outcast. But he still has to prove himself to the team as a whole.

Thanks for reviewing! It's very appreciated! (:

28th March 2013:
Yay, I'm glad he accepted the promotion. If I had seen that poor little boy, I'd have accepted to. I can't wait to meet the team and find out what they'll be doing. I hope they find the werewolf. :)

Sam.

Author's Response: Hi, Sam. Glad you enjoyed the chapter and more to come on the team in the next couple chapters. (: There may or may not be a romantic interest for Louis... but honestly I'm not planning a romance for him so it'll be very subliminal if it makes itself known because the plot is the greater thing that's driving the story.

Review #63, by TheHeirOfSlytherinWolf Calling: Sleep - what's that?

28th March 2013:
Oh, Louis. I just want to squeeze him - he's being a good friend and going out and helping them home, but he must be so tired. Then he was just gone. I think he's adorable. :D

Ooh, I wonder what Vic's news is. I think it's good news; Fleur would have sounded more worried if it wasn't, maybe even told. I hope it's good news. :)

This was such a nice chapter. I loved seeing Louis with his mum, hearing about how close he is with his family. And the story of Fleur and Molly was great. I like that they were told.

Sam.

Author's Response: Hi again, Sam! Yes, Louis's tiredness will catch up with him eventually, as you'll see as time progresses. ;) He is adorable, isn't he? I love nerdy, awkward guys so I always like making male character leads somewhat awkward.

Yep, Vic's news is definitely good, as you already know since you've read the other two chapters already. (:

Yes, Louis is very close to his family and it's always telling how a man will treat women based off of how he is with his mum and sisters. Glad you enjoyed the chapter, thanks again for reading!

Review #64, by TheHeirOfSlytherinWolf Calling: Decision

26th March 2013:
Louis and werewolves and he's a healer! Doctor Louis! Yay!

(As you can tell, I'm a big Louis fan. And a fan of werewolf stories. :P)

This was such a good first chapter. I feel like I got to know your version of Louis a bit before going into the real story, but you also told us bits about what the story will be about, which was really cool.

I feel so sad for the children going through lycanthropy because a monster is infecting them. Why? What's the reason for it? I'm looking forward to finding out. I'm also so sad for Teddy's little boy, the pain he must go through so young - I've not met him yet, but I want to hug him anyway.

Can't wait to read more.

Sam.

Author's Response: Yay, new reader/reviewer! I'm always excited when one of my stories attracts new readers because my readers typically are the same people (regulars that follow my author's page). And I'm glad you're already interested in this because of the healer plot with werewolves. Hopefully you'll continue to enjoy it. Also glad to hear you're a fan of Louis because he's not seen in fics much and I always have a special place in my heart for lesser known/used characters.

Glad you found it all a great balance of plot and character background. It's always worrisome writing the first chapter because I don't want to give too much away, yet I want to provide a little of both to give the reader an idea of what they're reading into.

Yeah, when I was planning for this before I started writing I thought of child abductors being the muggle equivalent of werewolves because even though child abductors are completely human, their still kind of like beasts. And the fact that a werewolf is both man and beast, well I just took the idea and ran with it. (:

Yep, it really is sound about Teddy and Victoire's son... he'll show up in some chapters as a cameo character so plenty of adorable to come.

Review #65, by TheHeirOfSlytherinThe Steps to Insanity : Prologue

25th March 2013:
Oooh, I have chills. I love when a story gives me chills. Horror/Dark: Sam's favorite genre. :P

You've set quite a tone here, I'm intrigued and a little creeped and very excited for more. That it's Bellatrix who's after this power is fitting, because she's creepy, and power definitely seems like something she'd do after. :P

I can't wait for more now. I'm very excited. :D

Sam.

Author's Response: Hi Sam! Thank you for stopping by! ♥ Bellatrix is way too much fun. She's such a nice change to the Marauders, even if she does slip into their story all too often. Hopefully I'll have the new chapter up Saturday!!

Thanks again for stopping by! *insert little smiley hug*

22nd March 2013:
OMG. Louis' family are so sweet, especially his sisters. I just wanted to join in their group hug, then discreetly push them away so it was just me and Louis. ;)

I know I say this often, but I really hope Louis gets to be a father, even if Freya is out of the picture. I just want the baby to have that room now that Vic and Dom have suggested it.

I really can't wait for more now. I'm just so excited to see how things progress. :D

Sam.

P.S. Thank you for the shout out and for the compliment about my stories. :)

Author's Response: Aren't the Weasleys like the best family ever! :p I think that we should definitely join the group hug, don't worry I'll distract the others so that you can have Louis all to yourself :p

Aww he'll get his chance, don't you worry. Louis is not going to let his baby get away from him without a fight.

Your stories are awesome!! I love them so much, so you are very welcome for the shoutout and compliment :D

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Review #67, by TheHeirOfSlytherinA long summer: Clingy and dependant

18th March 2013:
"Where's Lily?" Albus asked, looking around the room. It had been about an hour since - an hour since what? Harry and Ginny leaving?

Teddy was the one who was babysitting them and if he couldn't be bothered to keep an eye on them all, then that was his own fault. - best line ever. I love Albus.

They really are so selfish and clingy and dependent, it's hilarious to read. And Albus shouting "Tell us something we don't know!" Is definitely another favorite line.

I love that Harry threatens to make them live in the cupboard under the stairs, considering he lived in the cupboard. Oh, the irony!!! And it's Al's hiding spot!

I can't believe he broke James' arm, then said it was unfair to be grounded. I can't wait to see how he gets out of it with Harry. I'm already agreeing that Harry will crack and I just wanna yell "come on, Harry! You're stronger than this" at the screen!

Amazing chapter. Loved it. :D

Sam.

Author's Response: I am so glad that you pointed that out, I was in a rush to put the chapter into the queue that I forgot all about going over and reading it again haha.

I love that line too :D Albus is so mean to poor Teddy :D

They are extremely selfish and clingy children well teenagers actually :p

Haha oh Harry, he seems to think that living under the cupboard under the stairs is a threat, but his children would definitely get him back for that.

Yep Albus broke poor James's arm.
Harry is definitely going to be cracking soon, he's going to need all of the support he can get!

*waves flag and cheers about believing in Harry*

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Ah, Neville. He's obviously the mystery guy she's crushing on. Everyone should crush on Neville, especially seventh year Neville. ;)

This was a really sweet one-shot, I loved every minute of it. Including the friend pushing her in Neville's direction, always the best way to get someone to talk to a crush. :P

Loved this.

Review #69, by TheHeirOfSlytherinMy last big mistake: My last big mistake

16th March 2013:
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I was so convinced, the whole time, that it was Harry running, that he hadn't killed Voldemort yet. Then BAM! No! Not Harry! Ron! Ron killed Harry and ran... What the heck? ;( How could Ron do that? I'm so sad now. No one can kill Harry, it's just wrong!

But, ah, I loved this. The surprise, the mystery, just had me hooked (I'm a sucker for a good mystery :P). This was really great.

Sam.

P.S. Was it Aurors after Ron? The Order? Since they called him a murderer, I assume it was one of them, not Death Eaters. Could be wrong, though.

Author's Response: Ahh I can't believe you reviewed this story, it was one of the first me and my friend put onto this site, I'm too scared to even go back and sort out the grammar haha.

Ah yes that was a sneaky little plot twist :D I wanted you to think that it was Harry that was running. As bad as it sounds I can't even remember why he would have killed Harry? Possibly he would have been under a spell in order to do it I think?
I'm so glad that the story hooked you in :D
I'm going to go for Aurors being the ones after Ron haha :D

Review #70, by TheHeirOfSlytherinMundungus Fletcher: Mundungus Fletcher

16th March 2013:
So, I thought it was so amazing that you're reviewing my stories that I had to review yours.

Ooh, a Mundungus story. I've never read a Mundungus story, never even really thought about him as a character other than the guy who stole Regulus' locket and fled when Moody died. But this just stood out to me, I had to read. I love the backstory, how he became a thief and everything that led up to it. It was just too good to be true when he stopped for school and sure enough, he kisses his friend's girlfriend. It wasn't the type of stealing I expected, but it totally fit.

Great story, Tammi. I really enjoyed this. :)

Sam.

Author's Response: Aww yay! I'm so glad that you're readin my stories :D

I have never felt the urge to ever write a Mundungus story before but it was for a challenge and I knew it just had to be about his theiving.
I always imagined that he would have always been a thief and that it would have started at a young age.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this, even if he did steal his friends girlfriend :D

Thank you for reading and reviewing Sam!! :D

Review #71, by TheHeirOfSlytherinBefore They Fall: Head Boy and Girl

15th March 2013:
Hey, Jami!

So, the more I read this, the more I love James and Lily. Not just your versions, though you write them brilliantly, but the whole James/Lily pairing in general. They're just awesome.

I love that James knows what he wants, that he'll fight for it if necessary and wait when needed. He's just - ah, he's just the James I see in my head. Silly and mischievous at times, intelligent, though not always used for academic reasons (Map? Animagus? Yep, I'll say no more ;)), and he cares about his friends, even when wanting more. I just want to hug him... No, I want Lily to hug him. But maybe we'll get to that later. ;)

AND, when talking about the girl's dorms not allowing boys in, the sensors, that really made me laugh. But - no boys in the girls. Lily can go in mine, I think - why can boys not go in girls, but girls can go in boys? That wouldn't stop certain things from happening... Not that I'm expecting that to happen between James and Lily. :)

Oh, Lily. I understand her guilt, how hard it is for her, but I just feel so sad that she doesn't want to allow feelings for James to grow. Moving on and living, being happy, is what her parents would want, I'd imagine. I hope she has that (well, we know she does, as much as one can during war - she marries James and has Harry - but I hope she lets it happen eventually, though I'd also imagine it won't be soon).

Finally, their little reconciliation was so sweet. I loved the end - "friends?" then a handshake. It kinda reminded me of what kids do when making friends and though what they've been through so far and what we know they go through shows how much they've grown up and will continue to do so, it's nice to see that they're still somewhat young.

A few things I wanted to point out:

What does that matter, thought? - though?

He sensed the sober part of is brain start to pick at him - his brain?

Loved this chapter, Jami.

Sam.

Author's Response: Hi Sam ♥

Aren't they just an awesome pairing? I'm pretty sure I'd defend these two and the fact they belong together until I'm blue in the face :P

I'm not really sure about the no boys in girls but boys in girls. That's how it was with the dorms in the series, Hermione could go in there's but they couldn't go in hers, so I figured I'd stick with tradition. Most more exclusive boarding schools in Europe do offer rooms to the Head boys/girls as their own sort of reward, and sometimes the prefects get their own area as well, so I decided to stick with tradition by giving Lily and James their own. Though it won't ever turn into a 'love den' ;).

I'm so happy that you want to hug them. I do too... seriously I feel like I have to stop myself from writing, "and then Jami pop's in through her computer and squeezes Lily and James until their heads pop :P" haha!

I'm so happy you're enjoying the start of this, and thank you for pointing out the typos! I'll go edit those in right away :)!

Review #72, by TheHeirOfSlytherinI'll love her enough for both of us: Mummy Horatio

9th March 2013:
He was the reason she was feeling like this, he was the reason she wasn't happy, it was all him.

I'm sorry, but I agree with Horatio. It is Freya's fault just as much as it it Louis' and I will not accept him saying otherwise. Since I'm merely an outsider and not a part of this story, I shall leave it to Horatio to smack him on the side of the head.

I said before that I don't like Freya and that's true, kinda. I just don't know what to think of her. It seems obvious that she cares for Louis, but in the long run? I'm kinda thinking she'll listen to her father. And I don't want that to happen, because I really don't like him.

I'm scared for Louis and what will happen if he has to raise the kid alone, but he'll have his family, so I know he'll be okay. I don't want him to lose his baby because of Freya's dad and Freya herself, whether she listens to her father for him or for herself.

So, I'm kinda thinking Louis will or should meet someone else. Because I feel so sad for him now.

But I love that you bring out all these emotions and thoughts in me. I loved this chapter and I love this story. I can't wait for more. :D

Sam.

Author's Response: I agree with Horatio as well, he needs to make Louis see sense, but sadly I think that it'll take a while before Louis realises that it's Freya's fault too. Haha if you want to make an appearance and shake some sense into Louis you are more then welcome to :D

You can hate on Freya, it's okay. She's being very childish through the entire thing so far, and poor Louis is just letting her get away with it as he's worried about upsetting her. Ahh who knows if she'll listen to her father? Well I do... and you do :D

As for Louis, he's going to be so glad that he has his supportive family around, that's all I'm going to say. He'll need them a lot more then he thought soon enough.

Aww all the emotions! They make me so sad :-(

Thank you so reading and reviewing!!

Review #73, by TheHeirOfSlytherinYear of the snake: The welcoming feast

6th March 2013:
There aren't actually that many students at Hogwarts, when you think about it. Not like you'd see in a Muggle school. So, reading this, reading how few students there are, had me envision a ghost town of sorts. A castle would just look even bigger than usual. It really puts this year into focus, I think. How afraid some people must be to not show up at all. You really made me see that. I thought that was awesome.

Learning the Dark Arts instead of Defense; that would be horrible. Especially as we know what will happen when students don't do as the Carrows want. I'd be kinda scared if I knew we had Death Eaters for teachers.

I understand Neville's suspicion of Seamus. As Seamus is in the RoR at the end of DH, I think it's safe to say he earns his trust back, but I never really thought of how it would be in the beginning. But it makes sense and I'm glad you included it. :)

This was a really great chapter. I look forward to more.

Sam.

Author's Response: Yes, the Hogwarts population isn't really that large - though JKR herself used to get confused on that point. But yeah, if there are about 40 kids per year, then that would make the school have about 280 students (let's say 300 to round things off), and to take out all the Muggle borns you're probably losing at least 100 of those. Include people who just aren't coming back and that's an extra 50 or so, which means that you've got about half your regular students, or 150. Which, as you say, would really echo in a castle the size of Hogwarts.

The Seamus thing actually took me by surprise when it started, but it fit and I liked it so I kept it. It's going to be developed during the year and there is some canon which I say backs me up (kind of) so it's staying. Glad you like it! :)

As for the DADA lessons, well that may or may not have been a slip of the tongue by Snape there. We'll see how that progresses.

thanks, Mel

Review #74, by TheHeirOfSlytherinBefore They Fall: Hogwarts Express

5th March 2013:
*sneaks in all snake-like*

I feel so sorry for Lily, I just want to hug her and tell her everything will be alright and all the things her sister's prejudice is keeping her from doing. I'd have thought their parents' funeral would have brought a little more civility, seeing as though they are their only family. But it just makes me love the fact that she has James and Sirius and James' parents so much more.

I particularly loved the talk between James and Olivia, that even though she's concerned and worried, she also understands what Lily needs and is accepting of her decision even when James tries to get her to do otherwise. James accepting how things will be and knowing that his mother knows what she's doing and the apology for trying to get her to change her mind really shows his maturity. He cares for Lily, but he isn't pushing (completely) and letting her do what she wants to do. I like this in James, I think it'll be the start of something wonderful. ;)

I love the inclusion of Remus, even though he wasn't physically in the chapter, especially they were talking about his condition - that sense of belonging and being a part of them is always lovely to see even though to them it's probably only natural. (It's just my love for him coming through.) :P

And Peter. You've got him just like I'd imagine him at this age. I look forward to seeing more of him, of them all. Other people's take on the Marauders is always something I both love and I'm a little wary of (only when they don't include Peter, though). I love your taken in them already.

Really enjoyed this chapter. :)

Miss Snaky. ;)

Author's Response: Hi miss snaky ;)!

I'm so happy that you felt sad for Lily in this first section. Later on in the story, much later, you actually learn what happened to get Lily and Petunia to the point that they are. Well, my version at least :P.

I really get irritated when James is show as incredibly immature in his 7th year, because less than a year from now he'll be dedicating his life to a war. I'm so glad that you liked the mature side of him I've shown here. I'm sure watching Lily go through what she did had a lot to do with that maturity, as well.

Awww I'm so happy you love Remus! I love him too. He's such an amazing character.

Thank you so much for this amazing review, m'dear ♥ I'm heading back over to Silver Linings this evening!

Jami ♥

Review #75, by TheHeirOfSlytherinThe Worst: The Worst Had Happened

5th March 2013:
Considering the fear we found out she had in the first chapter, I'm not surprised about her reaction now. To have her worst fears realized, how could she not take it badly?

But poor Teddy. He's just trying to help and she yelled at him. It must have been hard to hear those things about his father. I hope things will be alright, that they'll get through this.

Where's Louis?

This was a really great chapter. I'm very much enjoying this story. :)

Sam.

Author's Response: Hey! Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Yes indeed, her reaction was quite dramatic and hysterical.

I hope they'll get through this too ;)

You'll know about Louis in the next chapter =)

Thanks again! I am glad you're liking this.
