Summary: All dogs go to heaven. Why should Sirius be any different?
Love it. The Black brothers relationship is really interesting, I think. "We walk the same road, Sirius. We just chose different paths." perfectly sums it up, I think. Love that line.
Great work! :)
The Arcane ScoRA and the Wand of MacArt by OliveOil_Med
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 68]
Summary: Nominated for the 2008 Quicksilver Quill Award for Best Post-Hogwarts Story
When Albus, Rose, and Scorpius are put on the train to their first year at Hogwarts, their parents have simple hopes for them. Namely to have the normal, boring school years they never got to experience themselves. But sometimes, we ask too much of our children.
When the school becomes plagued by invasions of wild beasts, three different students from three different houses follow in the footsteps of the generation before them, but strive to achive the one thing none of their predesesors ever could: DON'T GET CAUGHT!
Wow! Just spent my evening reading this story, love it! I'm not going to review every single chapter, I hope you don't mind just this one.
I love how Scorpius is taking the lead in the forest, though. I mean before it was Albus leading with Scorpius and Rose fighting, then Rose leading with her knowing everything, and now Scorpius! Very nicely done :).
I don't know who it is!! Ahh!! I just hope it's not someone like Luna who I love. I have a couple of ideas, but won't post them for spoiler purposes.
Can't wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: Well, two chapters left, and I hope you will review them!
A Mix of Alliances and Sentiments by mzap
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 151]
Summary: Nine years after Genevieve Weasley began her lustful affair with Demetri Rosier, she begins to wonder if there's more to the relationship. No matter the answer, her connection with him has dragged her into the Purity of the Night, a group who hopes to bring the purebloods back to power, and their leader has his eye on Genevieve. Now he will stop at nothing to get her, but the cost of Demetri and Genevieve leaving could prove fatal.
Teddy Lupin, always having been suspicious of Demetri, starts keeping a closer eye on his fellow Auror as mysterious things happen between Demetri and Genevieve, beginning with her disappearance from the Auror office. He, and the rest of the extended family, are determined to find her and bring her back where she belongs... away from Demetri, who they believe could cause her more harm than good.
HOW COULD YOU?
Seriously.
They were my second favourite pair! Your favourite!
THEY WERE SUCH A NICE COUPLE
Author's Response: *cough* Er... again, it killed me to do this, but it was necessary. I'm sorry. Thanks for reading and replying! :)
I KNEW Demetri didn't do that on purpose to Sam. And YAY for Freya! Poor Genevieve :(. It's like she's totally helpless...and she seems like the kinda girl who doesn't like being helpless, at all.
THE CONTRACT MUST BE DESTROYED!!
Loving the chapter, incase you can't tell :P. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Lol, thank you, MIssTiquelle. Yes, Genevieve is having a very, very hard time with this. She likes being in control and this contract is definitely taking a toll on her. Demetri did not like having to do that to Sam, but it was necessary to save his life. Thank you again for reading and reviewing! :)
SAM!
SAM!
SAM!
Ok, you know how much I LOVE Sam and how scared I was that he was going to die OMG but he's not thank God...
Demetri did that? At least he didn't kill Sam, but really? I was starting to like Demetri, not anymore...
Author's Response: Thanks for the reply and sorry! I hated doing that to Sam and it was hard for me to write, too. And as for whether Demetri did it or not, you'll know soon enough. It is a relief that Sam didn't die though. Thanks again for the reply and review! :)
Love your stories, mzap. Demetri and Genevieve really love each other, eh? Wow. I'm kinda looking forward to seeing Genevieve with the Rosiers, should be interesting.
(This is Jemma, btw.)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! Their "love" will come more apparent in the following chapters; right now they just said it, but the feeling wasn't there as much as it will be. Yes, Genevieve with the Rosiers is fun. Thanks again for reading and reviewing! :)
Yet another great chapter ;). I can totally imagine Tonks refusing to quit work, I just hope Remus/Teddy can persuade her otherwise - how old is she now? I love them together as an older couple.
The kids...adorable. I'm going to forget who is who, soon, but still. I like Sam and Ivette having the most kids, it seems quite...like them. Ahh I can't describe it well xD.
Nobody likes talking about Genevieve now? I wonder how Ivette would react to seeing her. That would be interesting...
Loved the chapter :)
Author's Response: Thank you again! Oh gosh, I believe Tonks is in her 50s? I had this all written down somewhere. A bit young to be retiring, but Teddy finds it awkward working with his mother. haha. The kids can get a bit complicated, but luckily it's not the focus of this story and it'll make sense after a while. As for Ivette and Genevieve, they occasionally see each other at work, but Genevieve ignores her and Ivette hates the subject. Thanks again for reading and the review. :)
Nathaniel...gosh. I do not like the sound of him. Nor Demetri's father, actually. I feel sorry for Genevieve, having to spend all that time with those pureblood maniacs (especially with Maddi being a muggleborn and all). Demetri and Genevieve are being...well, themselves. I'm starting to really like them as a pairing now, though you know my favourite will always be Sam/Ivette as I told you :P. Loved this chapter
Author's Response: Nathaniel is quite a character; a very interesting one to write and as you can already see, there won't be any good coming from him. Leopold is a typical pureblood father; he's not completely evil but he has a lot of pureblood ideals ground into him. I'm glad you're starting to like Demetri/Genevieve together now as I love writing them. Thanks for the review and read. :)
I knew I didn't like Nathaniel. If he IS the one behind the attacks...well, Genevieve hopefully won't have to be used as bait.
Tut tut, Teddy is eavesdropping! *shakes head* Eavesdropping with bright blue hair, no less. Brilliant disguising skills, for an auror :P.
What is Demetri hiding? Ahhh! He better not be hiding something to do with Genevieve...
Author's Response: Hmm... you'll have to continue reading to see about the connection between Nathaniel and the attacks. Not Teddy's brightest moment when he was eavesdropping. Lips sealed on Demetri's "secret". Thank you! :)
Wow. The whole pureblood contract thing...I actually quite like the idea! Sounds very...something that would happen. And fitting.
But but now Genevieve has to obey like all the purebloods and there is like no chance any of her family will speak to her and I'm totally just rambling now.
VERY interesting chapter though.
Author's Response: The Pureblood Alliance Contract is interesting, though possibly too complicated. Yes, Genevieve will have to obey but the obedience of Demetri is far more important seeing as Genevieve's life is on the line. Thank you for the review and read. :)
Wow, Teddy really doesn't trust Demetri. I'm surprised Harry seems to though, after Demetri said it was a matter of Genevieve's life and death, and she's his niece (by marriage).
And aw, Genevieve and Demetri are falling in love and caring for each other. I'm really liking this pairing
Author's Response: Yes, Teddy does not trust Demetri at all; never has. Harry has learned not to get involved in Genevieve's personal life and given that he trusts her, he will trust Demetri (especially after all the work he's done for the Auror office). And yes, some more affectionate moments for the pair. Thanks for the review! :)
Ahhh noooo Nathaniel is EVIL. I've been wondering what he would do, when he ordered all wives/partners to stay at home and I was scared but thank MERLIN Demetri came home in time. Ironic as now he's like the 'hero' of the story, when he was seen as the one who led Genevieve astray, if that makes sense.
I saw you replied to Jackie, saying the illness has nothing to do with the contract. Thank Merlin, I was scared something was happening to Genevieve because she was inwardly rebelling.
Author's Response: Nathaniel is very much conniving and it was a relief that Demetri came home in time, but the hour that Nathaniel dropped by, he knew Demetri would be home and purposely chose that time. He very much enjoys taunting Demetri because of the contract and unfortunately, Genevieve is left to be victimized. I love Demetri being a sort of "hero" in this, especially, like you pointed out, he has a history (or rather his family has a history) that is hard to ignore in these times. Thanks again. :)
OMG poor Genevieve! Reading Crystal99's review, is she pregnant? OMG that might...wow.
And is there a way to destroy the contract? Like, I don't know, what was the contract again, was it that you must obey your parents and other purebloods or something?
Author's Response: There is a way to destroy the contract, but the contract is very hard to find (not so hard to actually destroy once found). Basically children are forced to obey or their lovers suffer the consequences (death). Thank you. :)
I'm trying to figure out how a baby will affect the Purity of Night thing. OMG the baby won't be forced to sign the contract, will it? Could Demetri's parents force Demetri/Genevieve to force the baby to sign the contract. Noooo that wouldn't be good.
Is the timing good or bad? I can't decide, lol. How long will they be able to hide it from Nathaniel from, I wonder...
Author's Response: It is bad timing because even if Demetri and/or Genevieve at one point may have wanted a child, they wouldn't have wanted one to be brought up in pureblood ideals and join the Purity of the Night. You know, I never thought of Demetri's parents forcing Demetri to have his child sign the contract... that's actually really interesting.... Thank you (for the millionth time, haha). :)
Noo. I love Ivette. You know I do. I feel sooo bad for her. And Demetri and Genevieve can't tell the Aurors anything, which makes them seem so mean, but ahh, they're just being forced into things and gahhhh there MUST be a way to break this alliance contract thingy. There MUST be...
Author's Response: I agree about poor Ivette. Shows that this mess is not only affecting Demetri and Genevieve, and how much restraint is on them. Thanks for the review. :)
Noooo they killings is ahhhhhh poor Genevieve having to witness that. Bet it scared her and Demetri, too.
Great how Freya took it! Leopald wasn't TOO bad, I guess. But like, the baby albums xD. Great work, keep it up!
Author's Response: It very much scared Demetri and Genevieve, seeing as they had never witnessed how powerful the contract can be. Freya is excited for a baby, seeing as she has someone else to care for now that Demetri is out of the house. Leopold is just disappointed it wasn't his. xD Thanks for reading! :)
Teddy is being nosy! Lol xD. I'm suspecting Harry suspects something is up that Demetri can't say, so is giving him specific tasks like that on purpose, methinks? Or something along those lines. Harry is quite clever though, methinks. S'yeah.
Ohh and I HOPE Teddy picks up on that, I really do. Really, really, really do.
Author's Response: Yes, Teddy is getting a tad obsessive of his paranoia. Like I said before, Harry trusts Demetri and he does suspect something, but won't say it outright. As for if Teddy will pick it up... we'll see. Thanks! :)
Woahh, I hope Genevieve is safe. I really do. Ahhh why did Teddy do that? Little did he know he almost killed Genevieve, Merlin's beard.
Aha! A way to get out of the contract! They must get out of it ASAP! They MUST. Well that's what I think...:P
Author's Response: Oh, Teddy will know how much trouble he's caused eventually; Genevieve will make sure of that. :P And they have to find a way out, because Demetri won't be able to handle all the guilt. Thank you. :)
AHHHHHH!! Why doesn't someone ask Demetri if he loves Genevieve, then he will say yes, then they'll all realise! That would be just too simple though, I guess...
At least the Aurors will know about the contract now, that's something, I guess...
Author's Response: Haha, that is a bit simple. That and no one will really believe Demetri because for the past 9 years, he and Genevieve have been in a lustful relationship so a simple "yes" would not be believed. Plus Teddy is convinced that Demetri doesn't love Genevieve/he's working for the other side. The contract will be known, but the question lies in whether everyone believes that Demetri loves Genevieve. Thank you for the read and review! :)
Wow. Poor Genevieve. I'm saying that for like half of the chapters at the moment! Demetri is being forced not to do anything, it's so unfair. Why can't Teddy just tell the Aurors about the contract already? GOSH! Teddy is frustrating me at the moment.
I can't remember what else I was going to say, so yeah.
Author's Response: Teddy can be very frustrating and it is completely killing Demetri at the inability to do anything at the moment. This will also come as a hard blow to Genevieve. A hard chapter for me to write, as I said before. Hate torturing my characters like this. :( Thank you for reading. :)
