I have spent time in both the US and UK. I have been reading Harry Potter since 1999. I was instantly hooked, though I'm new at writing fanfic.
Truth Be Told by CraftySlytherin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 354]
Summary: What happens when Fred and George Weasley, Hogwarts' reknowned kings of pranks, decide to spike a shipment of pumpkin juice bound for Hogwarts with truth potion? A day filled with true confessions of Hogwarts students!!!!!
Hillarious! Great at keeping everyone in character, while still poking fun. OMG! I have tears....The Dumbledore McGonnall bit was brilliant!
Ill Met by Moonlight by Slian Martreb
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 73]
Summary: Curious as to why Sirius always seemed to harbor a special hate for Snape? The answer is here. Set in the time of the Marauders, sixth year, this is a startling revelation into their animosity. Rated R for offensive language, GA, MOL and (eventual mentioning of a) SSP. SSP means SAME SEX PAIRING. Do not read if you are offended by such things.
Edited by mod
Ok, I usually don't read slash, but got into this one by not paying attention to warnings, and a real love of the Marauders, and this is a great story. Good bits of humor, and nice one by throwing in the bi bit on Remus for Tonks. I don't think it's shocking or anything, the depth you put into the relationship gave the story real soul. Well done.
Reluctant Candles by RedheadedWeasley
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 50]
Summary: The War has been over for six years and Severus Snape is back to teaching Potions at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is surprised when a former student comes back to teach for a year. The two have never gotten along well, especially when working closely. What happens when they are colleagues? When he begins to notice the little things that he never noticed before?
Not all warnings and ratings apply to all chapters. There is a reason this is rated Professors though, and I will let yall know when that chapter is posted.
Very clever. I particularly like Snape's nastiness! Can't wait for more of Hermione though. Also, well done using the PS speech. I like the idea that he'd bully everyone the same way, year after year.
Behind those Emerald Eyes by makinmagic323
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 2006]
Summary: Ten years have elapsed since Dumbledore's death and McGonagall has Hogwarts back on its feet again. Hermione and Malfoy both teach at the school. But when a new teacher is hired to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, everyone seems to feel that they've met him before. A story of mystery, passion, friendship, and jealousy… not to mention that Harry Potter has been missing for ten years and Voldemort is dead. (All violence is mild).
NEXT CHAPTER VALIDATED
There have been errors when this story gets submitted for validation, so the mods have to do it manually. Therefore it does not show when it has been validated -- but it has!!
Thank you to all my reviewers!!!
Disclaimer: I own my imagination, JK Rowling owns Harry Potter.
Very interesting. I'm already anxious to hit the 'next' key! Only thing I would say is that Mcgonagall jumps the gun a bit, but I understand what it's like to need to move the plot.
Author's Response: maybe McGonagal had something up her sleeve.... perhaps? ;D glad you enjoyed it!
Liking it. Seems as though we're in for some twists!
Author's Response: =)
I want to know more about Draco and his memory/ why he's suddenly like Neville in 2nd year. Nice.
Author's Response: Eh, I don\'t reallty get into it. All I really say is in the first chapter.
I really like the story so far. It's so interesting to read Hermione as a closed-off sort. :)
Author's Response: =)
I really enjoyed the discription of the underwater village and caves. Also I think the love triangle will be interesting.
Author's Response: It does get QUITE interesting, if I do say so myself =) Glad you\'re enjoying it!
Ah ha. The plot thickens... I can't wait to see how all the ends bind together.
Author's Response: =)
Hmmm. Dorky Draco is going to turn evil again? and great job on the Slytherin first year, kip. I dislike hiim more and more every chapter.
Author's Response: I\'m glad =) He is an annoying little bugger, haha
Nice turns of plot, I am constantly wondering what's going to happen next. Real page turner, or "scroll downer", as it were.
Author's Response: =)
Harry Potter and Beyond The Veil by tear_away
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 666]
Summary:
Harry's life stands at a crossroads.
He is torn between a return to the only true home he as ever known or a dark and dangerous winding and twisting road through Horcruxes and ending with murder.
But can he become a murderer? Can he over come the Dark Arts, while dabbling within them? Will Ron and Hermione stand beside him on the road to doom? And if love is truly his greatest power then why did he let his only true love go?
To defeat evil, Harry must climb a mountain of dark Death Eaters and Ministry mayhem - but will he come out on top in the Final Battle?
Okay. nowb I'm wondering what all the fuss with the lethifolds was for... I'm assuming it's not just fill. Really getting into the suspense, good one.
Author's Response: Nope not just fill. They will be useful.
Of Christmas Past by Chaser921
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 542]
Summary: Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny find themselves in a Muggle hotel in Godric's Hollow on the Winter Solstice. During an enthusiastic snowball fight, Harry and Ginny step through a stone circle that transports them seventeen years into the past. This may be the only chance Harry has to spend with his parents, and it may also be what he needs to figure out his relationship with Ginny.
The warning is for later chapters.
Edit: So, this was originally strictly a Harry/Ginny fic, but Ron and Hermione kept trying to get together too, so I felt like I had to change the category. And there's a bit of Lily/James in there too, though they're already married, and I've also added a bit of Remus/Tonks. Poor Sirius is the only Singleton (though he may manage to get a girl of his own)!
Edit: This story was cannon until after Deathly Hallows came out, so I changed it to Alternate Universe, but it's still pretty close to cannon. Only a few things will end up being different when the story ends.
Edit: I've changed all of the chapter titles to the titles of Christmas songs that I felt reflected the events in the chapters best. Tell me what you think! Does it fit?
I absolutely LOVE this one! It is brilliant. Please continue to update, as I am now hopelessly hooked. Really well done. I especially like your use of Lily in a slightly less intense version of Molly. Keep it coming!
Cried. Not even going to pretend I didn't. Really bawled. Thanks for that. And could you please write 3 million word chapters in future? LOL Seriously, really good.
Harry Potter and the Seven-Year War by QwayMelqnu
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 469]
Summary: Harry is steadfast in his decision to break up with Ginny Weasley, hoping that she will be kept safe from Voldemort's clutches, but unforeseen circumstances will push them back together sooner than anyone could have anticipated. Harry finally acknowledges his true feelings for her before setting out on the hunt for the Horcruxes, but unfortunately the subsequent war with Tom Riddle and his followers would end up lasting longer than anyone could’ve expected. Can Harry and Ginny’s love stand the test of time? And how far will Harry go to make sure they are given the chance to find that out?
Excellent use of emotion, action and humour. I was crying and then laughed so hard I choked...thanks for that.
Author's Response: Well, I don't want to make a habit of choking people, but I'm glad for the compliments, lol. Thanks for reading :)
Summary: Everything is going swimmingly in the lives of Sirius Black and Hermione Granger. But that doesn't make a very good story, does it?
Everything is going swimmingly UNTIL the Ministry (infiltrated by several former Death Eaters) passes a horrifying new law that threatens their relationship. How will they cope with this new situation? And will Ron ever learn to say the right thing at the right time?
The much-begged-for sequel to "Smells Like Sirius Black".
Trading Places! That's five to Hufflepuff! But props to you for clever names. I laughed out loud.
Bravo to you. I just love laughing in the middle of suspenseful situations. Orange juice! How funny. One questions, where are Winston and Billy Ray?
Corrupt Sanctity by MikePhoenixLament
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 162]
Summary: Harry Potter and his best friends return for their seventh and final year of school. The Wizarding world begins to rebuild itself after the events of the Battle of Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix work together to round up the remaining Death Eaters, still at large.
Really nice twists. Yours is one of my favs.
Great Expectations by Cassandras Cross
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 505]
Summary: A weekend trip to the mysterious Rose Cottage leads to Ginny's second pregnancy and Hermione's first. The Potters and Weasleys take on “The Next Great Adventure” as they anticipate the births of Albus Potter and Rose Weasley.
Excellent! Can't wait to here from Snuffles! Just one question, did Dumbledore day the 7 thing or did Harry here Riddle say it in the Pensieve?
Author's Response: Actually it\'s both. Riddle said it in the Pensieve, but Dumbledore repeated it when he discussed the memory with Harry. I gathered it was a fairly common belief in the wizarding world from the way both Riddle and Dumbledore talked about it. Snuffles is coming up soon. Thanks for commenting.
Read 16 & 17 enjoyed them both. The plot thickens, what is Harry up to (purely rhetorical...) and I love the little note. I also really hope Ginny keeps getting visits. :) Thanks for updating so quickly, feel free to keep it up.
Author's Response: Ginny\'s \"visits\" are connected to her pregnancy. You\'ll find out how in future chapters. It\'s down to the mods as far as updates go now. I have another 5 or 6 chapters in reserve, so as soon as a new one is validated I post the next. By the time they catch up, I may be finished with the story, but we\'ll see how that goes. Thanks for your review. I appreciate it!
