Review #1, by HollyBerry In the shadows

7th March 2011:
Ahh..I knew Derek was going to do something like this. I think that you have to get Scorpius and Rose's relationship moving forwards now that her and Derek are done. I think you should have done it before, because you already illustrated the hate that they had for each other and you were repeating the same sort of interactions over and over. Hopefully in the next chapter you'll get it moving. I really like all the other character relationships. Really enjoying this story, keep it up. :)

Author's Response: hahaa well i had to get rid of him somehow?! i joke. but that seemed like one of the only sane options :P well the next chapter is up and there might be something there! also, in the new chapter i'm writing, you might see more of rose/scorpious and the other characters come into the picture more :) i'll try to update as soon as possible :) i'm glad you like the story :) x

Review #2, by Aderyn In the shadows

6th February 2011:
Hi, I totally forgot that you asked me to review the last chapter, sorry!

Anyways, I think that this story is getting better, but that there are still things to work on. I definitely think that the pacing needs some work. The chapters are pretty short and I think that with more description, some more dialogue and a bit of filler that you'll reach a better pace. Because right now, I still feel like you're speeding along.

As for characterization, again, I think slowing things down will help. You've developed Rose a bit more, but I still don't feel like I know her very well. How does she get along with her parents? With Hugo? Those things you can slip into the story and they really help define the character you're writing about.

Your spelling and grammar has improved a lot, which is good. But I'm wondering, what are the italics in this chapter? Song lyrics? I'm not sure if they really fit, since you haven't really used any song lyrics before this point.

I hope my reviews were helpful. Let me know if you have any questions about anything I wrote.

Author's Response: no worries :) thank you so much! i'm really gonna try to take into consideration what you've told me and work on it! :)

Review #3, by Aderyn The Head Boy

6th February 2011:
Hello, here for your review.

I felt like this chapter was very short and confusing. You never once mention the name "Rose." Don't just assume that people will automatically know who you're talking about. Also, I felt like you really rushed things. Take the time to introduce characters and describe scenery and emotions. That will make the chapter long and make it feel less rushed.

I did notice quite a few spelling/grammar mistakes.

"It was 10.45 and I knew that she is going to be late for the train if everybody didn’t hurry up, but there was no way that was going to happen. She was to Head Girl after all this year and she could not possibly be late. " This first paragraph is very confusing, you change from "I" to "she."

"Good luck!" mum" you should capitalize "Mum"

"Oliver spent his summer with his parent" that should be "with his parents"

"Derek planted a quit passionate" it should be "a quick passionate"

"I was annoyed to know end." it should be "no end."

If I were you, I might try to find a beta reader to help catch the mistakes I think I got most of them, but there are more especially with verb tenses. If you don't get a beta, at least proofread it another time, you'll probably catch most of the mistakes.

Author's Response: thank you so much! :) I will definitely try to take into consideration what you have said and work on it! :)

Review #4, by estefania In the shadows

25th January 2011:
I like how this chapter ended, with her alone on the Astronomy Tower. Updates would be awesome! I think there needs to be some more action between Rose and Scorp. I also love the whole side story with Emily and Oliver! They're adorable!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it :) I shall work on that one ^^ The next one is halfway ready though so I should be updating soon!! :) There will be no worries.. This chapter was kind of crucial for that :) I know right! They are just the cutest ever :D xx

Review #7, by ravenclawwriter Best Friends

19th June 2010:
This is your best chapter so far and the only things you need to fix up are small wording errors and little bits of grammar.

Plot wise this chapter is really good and its great to see that you aren't going to focus only on the Rose and Scorpius relationship but also on the Oliver-Emily one.

Also Malfoy's dialogue is very inventive and funny. I am very jealous of your dialogue making skills and can't wait to see more in your future chapters!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I shall see what I can do :)

Hi,
So the biggest problem in this chapter is grammar but that can be easily remedied with another read through. It terms of character's everything's okay but try to be sure that Rose doesn't turn into a Mary Sue aslo try to avoid to many cliches.
Also the banner is really cool!
-Cass

Author's Response: Okay, point taken. thank you! I'll try to do my best looking back at your comments :)

Review #10, by louise_loves_hp The Plan

5th May 2010:
I just loved this part 'You know you secretly love me Malfoy. Just admit it.' I replied with a smile playing on my lips as I started to walk towards my bedroom. 'Im just too irresistable for your own good.' funny and he could even really say anythink. I think that you have to keep going as I want to she Rose plan I am all for this story and I want them together.
10/10

Author's Response: thanks for the lovely review! :)

This is quite the instering read its had me smilling and laughing the whole way along, and there is mistry in what Scop is thinking. He comes out shy but confendet at the same time and I love the way its coming along, and that I dont like the professor Blackwood but every school has one. I like how you spock of Snape and how Ron had said about Rose beting scop
Just love the take on this, cant wait to read the next

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it :) and thanks for the review! :)

Review #12, by louise_loves_hp The Head Boy

4th May 2010:
Well I would like to first start off tell you have I am quite taken with this, its my kind of story, from what I can tell in this chapter you have all the charcters and you have not put Rose out just like to be Hermione. I really like how Rose says that being on time for the train is a skill. Oh that was great I mean being a Weasley they are meant to just make it so it just fits.
I also found the borther/sister part at the start with Rose and Hugo is just something that happenes at my house and I loved seeing that in here, not that we go to platfom 9 and 3/4.
I loved the part with Emily and Oliver they just seem like the friends that could fight all day, but at the end they are there for each other, kind of like if anyone but us says anythink they are dead.
Derek mm wells I am hoping that its her boyfriend this will make the plot have more twist and turns. That I can already see before the diffrent paths that you could go down, I quite like the line Scop first says to Rose, just can tell the way they have be from day one but he just does it to get under her skin, witch is working.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I greatly appreciate it :)

Ah romance is in the air. There's nothing like some match making.
spam_up_sam

Author's Response: Yeah, I somehow came to the idea that Rose should be the one to make Oliver and Emily finally come together. I have already everything planned out for the match making, just have to write it up. And I completely agree - there really is nothing like some match making.. :)

Oh he's mean isn't he but it's like a 'I secretly fancy Rose Weasley's pants off' mean...even if he doesn't know it yet lol I liked that moment where him and his friends were taking the mick out of Rose and her boyfriend with obnoxious kissey noises, that was funny.
There were typos here and there but again nothing a quick read through and edit wouldn't catch =]
It was good, I'm keen to see what the next chapter is like
Anyway, keep it up!
spam_up_sam

Author's Response: yeah, in a way i guess.. i just have to figure out how to make him realize that.. and i try to throw in some humor and other stuff in so that it's not only concentrated around Rose and Scorpious, I mean school life is always full of fun and other things :)
I'm really glad you like it!

Review #23, by Norbert W The Head Boy

19th January 2010:
The beginning of this story is a good introduction to the rest of the story, leaves the reader with more questions than answers and keeps one interested and wanting to know more.

The spelling and grammar isn't perfect but it doesn't deprive the story of any understanding. It is still easily legible and I would really like to keep reading in the future.

I would totally recommend this to anyone wanting to read about a romantic flick with some of their favorite characters.

Author's Response: Hahaa. Thanks Norb!
No need to be so official. And I'll keep you to your word about reading it further! :)

Review #24, by spam_up_sam The Head Boy

17th January 2010:
Hey!
I thought it was good =] and it's your first fan fic too so your writing style is definitely going to develop over the length of the story. I didn't spot any mistakes, I wasn't really looking either lol, but I thought the read was really quick and smooth so I enjoyed it.
If I could suggest anything, and by all means you can just ignore me =], but I'd say that a little more description, or perhaps adding more of Rose's thoughts and reflections through the narration to strengthen her characterisation would be a nice addition but as it is, I thought it was good and I'll certainly read the next chapter to see where you're going with this.
Happy writing! Keep up the good work!
spam_up_sam

Author's Response: Heya!
Thanks for the lenghty review! I really appreciate it! Any kind of 'feedback' as i call it, is really welcome since this is the first time I have decided to write a fan fic (or a story in general). I'll try and see what I can do with your suggestion and most certainly will try to add more of Rose's thoughts to the writing.
Thanks and I'll try to keep it up :)
