Summary: In a perfect world, Neville and Hannah's wedding would go off without a hitch. This is not a perfect world.
Uncommon Friends by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 20]
Summary:
When Draco Malfoy walked into a shop one night looking for help, he found the last person he would have expected: Neville Longbottom. To Neville's surprise, Draco accepted his help. But neither anticipated that one chance meeting would be the beginning of a friendship that would last until the very end.
Winner, Quicksilver Quill Award for Best Post-Hogwarts story
I really like this new Neville.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I haven't written much of him but it's been fun working with him. I hope you enjoy the rest! Thanks for reading and reviewing! ~Gina :)
Sweep by Squibstress
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: In the aftermath of the battle, Argus does the only thing he can.
Interesting perspective. We've never thought about how the only person unable to lift a wand in self-defence would feel in a castle raging with a wizarding war. I liked that touch about Filch's childhood too.
Author's Response: Thanks.
I imagined it as through the eyes of a civilian caught in the middle of a military battle.
Thanks for reading!
Never Discussed by HalfASlug
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 10]
Summary:
Harry waits for someone to meet him at Godric's Hollow on Christmas Eve. This is a story about growing up, moving on and remembering your past without taking it with you.
H/Hr friendship with a bit of H/G
This is beautiful, but may be it would read better with more dialogues and less summary (Harry remembering what Ginny said, what Teddy said...you do great dialogues, so you should include them) I think the bit about Teddy and Harry meeting the Potters deserve a separate story.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing :)
Yeah, this was one of my earlier fics *bad excuse alert* so I probably would do things differently if I wrote it now. The Harry and Teddy might get its own story at some point. It's one of those where I want to write it but have fifty other things I want to write as well. Anyway, glad you liked it!

This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff and this is my entry for Round 1 of the Character Clinic Triathlon - Major Characters.
This is also a (very) delayed birthday present for Lori (Weasley Mom) because I've been wanting to write this for her for absolute ages.
Thank you Kara and Jess for the prompts. I think I got them all in.
Lovely. I like the chcukle and faint whoop in his head.
Author's Response: Thank you. I had to chop some, sadly, but I might rework and add more when the challenge is over. ~Carole~
Another Horcrux Down by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 19]
Summary:
This story is a missing moment from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We know Ron and Hermione descend into the Chamber of Secrets in search of basilisk fangs, and we know they succeed. But what exactly happened down there? This story provides a possible answer to that question.
Wow, this is beautiful. A million times better than how the movie showed it. They botched the one thing I was curious about- what the horcrux makes Hermione see.
Author's Response: Yeah, the movie disappointed in that scene, didn't it? I have to learn to like it because it's the only Romione kiss I'm ever gonna see, but still. There was something missing. I'm so glad you thought this worked as a missing moment. Thanks for reading and taking the time to review--I really appreciate it! ~Lori

This poem was written for The Sharp Challenge in Poetry, Anyone? Thank you Julia, for running such fab challenges and being an inspiration.
Disclaimer: JKR? Me? Noooooooooo.

Heart's Desire by Squibstress
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 4]
Summary:
It takes sixty years, but Minerva finally comes to understand the truth of George Bernard Shaw's pronouncement on tragedy: "Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire; the other is to get it."
Unusual pairing but beautifully done. I loved how you brought out Minerva's conflicted childhood and adult loneliness.
Author's Response: Many thanks for the kind words.
I figured there had to be more to this Pottermore business than an 18-year-old broken heart.
Teach My Feet to Fly by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 10]
Summary: Andromeda Black is not a girl who is reckless. Risks are for the foolhardy, and she is too clever for that. But she hasn't factored Ted Tonks' persistence into the equation of her life.
And Ted wants to teach her how to fly ...
This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff writing for Round 2 of the Character Clinic Triathlon - Minor Characters. I chose the Music prompt.
The song that Andromeda listens to in this story is River by Joni Mitchell. It is beautiful.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. I am not Joni Mitchell. I am someone who admires both artists greatly.
Ta lotsly to the lovely Natalie (hestiajones) who beta'd this and is a truly fabulous friend.
Thank you for writing this-I've always felt Andromeda was a vastly underutilized character in canon. Please write more. And Regulus too.
Author's Response: OOOh ... Regulus, now you've got me thinking... Hmmm. Thank you very much for the review and glad you enjoyed this. ~Carole~
Nott: Father and Son by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary:
Theodore Nott, the other Slytherin. Who is this mysterious person who remains in the background. Who are his friends? Whose side is he on? Does anyone know? Does he know?
This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw writing for Round Two (Minor Characters) of the 2012 Madam Pomfrey’s One-Shot Character Triathlon.
Useful? Decorative? If I was Araminta I would return from the dead and strangle this man. And I hate how the snatcher gets off the hook.
As for Pansy- well, you get back what you give, i suppose.
A well-written story and of course it accords perfectly with the 'Northumbrian canon"!
The Notts- what do I say? Hated the father from the beginning, and whatever sympathy I had for the son was lost before the end, but very very realistic depictions. And these people hold the key to Arthur's treasure? Oh no!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Casual sexism, always guaranteed to annoy. :-D However, Thornton Nott is not exactly forward-thinking or progressive. You aren’t supposed to like the Notts, but stories need villains, and Theodore will be making several appearances very soon.The Round Table Knights (and most people reading this won’t know why we’re talking about them) were an unpleasant bunch. The tales are of betrayal, incest, rape, extra-marital affairs and sibling rivalry. I see no reason to make their descendants nice people.

Yggdrasil by Northumbrian
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 16]
Summary:
Luna attends the International Symposium on Fantastic Beasts in Sweden. She is looking for proof of the existence of the Crumple-Horned Snorkack. What she finds is something else entirely.
This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw writing for Round Two (Travel Prompt) of the 2012 Madam Pomfrey’s One-Shot Character Triathlon.
You know, JKR said that Luna eventually gave up on the snorkacks. But never mind that, this story is so cute!
"‘I didn’t this morning,’ she said. ‘Now, I’m not so sure. At the moment I’m waiting for someone to ask me out.’
‘Will you go out with me?’ he asked hastily.
Unable to resist any longer, Luna leaned across the table and kissed him."
Luna is so Luna. And you have to write in more of Rolf in your other sotries (some of which, btw, are in serious needs of updates.)
Stockholm is a beautiful city- I hope you enjoy your trip to Sweden.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review.
I know what JKR said, the key word here is eventually. Perhaps it's rolf who persuades her. Stockholm certainly looks beautiful, but the closest capital city to me will be Copenhagen. I think that you can see it across the Öresund.

Zygosis by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 11]
Summary:

This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw writing for Round Two (Minor Characters: Harry Potter’s birthday) of the 2012 Madam Pomfrey’s One-Shot Character Triathlon.
By Merlin I love your Lavender. Poor, poor Albus!
Hang on, what do you mean, when Harry killed his "first" basilisk?
Author's Response: Thanks.
Lavender is really ideal mother-in-law material, isn't she? :-DWell spotted. That's a story for another day.

Stolen Magic by coolh5000
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 34]
Summary:
Samuel Radley is a wizard born without magic. Coming from a family with generations of witches and wizards, his brother Adrian has never really understood why Samuel has been left without, especially when there are others, with no magical blood at all, who somehow find themselves able to do magic. As he enters his fourth year at Hogwarts, it seems that the Ministry are finally starting to do something about this imbalance and Adrian couldn't be happier. All around him however, there is resistance to the new laws, and suddenly Adrian finds himself an outsider in his class and abandoned by his friends, when all he's ever done is love his family.
This is coolh5000 of Slytherin writing in the Great Hall chaptered challenge, for the Phoenix Rising prompt.
Good chapter. Update soon.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review :) A new chapter should be coming very soon!
This is a really difficult story to write, trying to see things from the other end of the spectrum. Well done. Do update soon.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review and I'm glad you're enjoying it :) It's been an interesting experience getting inside the head of a character whose opinions differ from what we're used to. ~Hannah
