my own fault by Stubbornly_appeared
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary: a trRain waits for me
at king's cross
i will not take...
Albus Dumbledore waits for a train and wonders.
Stubby!
This is one heck of a poem; it made me tear up. =)
You don't see many things from Dumbledore's POV, especially poems, and this is really refreshing.
This characterisation of him is really well-done. He is so afraid to hurt those around him, and he feels so much remorse for everything he's done.
a train is coming
This is one of my favorite lines in the whole poem. It shows just how he is waiting to be forgiven, waiting for aburden to be lifted from his shoulders. It sent chills down my spine.
me wonder
if what i did was
right; everything
This made me tear up, because of COURSE he did it right. He's Dumbledore, but he just doesn't see himself in the same light everyone else does. I was happy when JKR made him more human and less godlike in DH, but it never changed my view of him.
I also love the way you set it up, and the way you wrote it. It makes it really effective, and makes it seem like his thoughts are scattered, which I'm sure they are.
And congrats on First Place for Infamous Words. *high fives* I can see why you won, dear. =)

Author's Response: *blush*\r\n\r\nAw, thanks, Hanni. When I wrote this I was fresh off DH and still in awe of/confused about the epic ending. \'King\'s Cross\' was then my favourite chapter, so I wanted to do something to explain Dumbledore\'s POV in poetry-form.\r\n\r\n*grins again*\r\n\r\nPlus, I just love getting reviews and lovely compliments.\r\n\r\nThanks again!\r\n\r\n-Stubby
Don't Tell! by butter_beer_drinker
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 79]
Summary:
Draco is apprehended by members of the Order and held for questioning. While Harry and Ron search for Horcruxes, Hermione has to stay behind and is asked to tend to their ‘guest’. After two months of confinement, a beaten down Draco and a frustrated Hermione start a tentative friendship, based entirely on loneliness. Draco is set free after agreeing to help the Order, but when Harry and Hermione are captured by Death Eaters, he has to decide whom he will betray, his master, or the girl he can’t stop thinking about.
I have made a few minor changes to chapter 9, I changed the direction of the end of the story so it was neccassary. Chapter 10 is in the que now.
"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
-Muhammad Ali
Kristy, this is such a wonderful start to this fic! It's got me hooked so far!
One of the wonderful things about this fic is that you don't just jump right into the plot. Some writers just take and make the second chapter the start of the plot, but you just ease into it, setting the scene slowly. This is really going to make for a better fic; keep it up!
Also, I love Hermione's parents. Wherever did you come up with the name Raleigh? I love that city in North Carolina, it's really pretty.
You have a wonderful writing style, and I've loved everything you've written. Keep it up, dear!
--Hanni
Author's Response: Thank you Hanni. I researched British names and just looked until I found one that I thought fit his character description that I had created. It was fun since there is no real description of her parents anywhere. I hope you read the rest of it and thank you for the review.

Summary: Andromeda attends the funeral for her husband, daughter and son-in-law with her grandson Teddy Lupin and is visited by someone unexpected later that day.
This is the first one-shot in the Teddy Lupin Files.
So sad.
Tonks is my all time favorite character, and it tore me apart when she died. I wore black for awhile. I was a depressed girl.
This story really puts it all in perspective, and I'm glad you wrote it; it was beautiful! Thank you!

Author's Response: Thanks a lot Hanni. I\'m glad I wrote it as well :D It was one of the many bouncing plot bunnies that hopped into my head after reading DH :)

The Plan by joybelle423

I am now officially a Lily/Sirius shipper. You need to make this a chaptered fic. LOL
All the King's Horses by Mem_Marie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 8]
Summary: Draco Malfoy is broken. Life has dealt him many a cruel hand, and he is not strong enough to take fate’s blows. But he thought he somehow still had a chance – a chance in the form of a Gryffindor girl with dirty blood.
He must have been wrong. It seems that nothing – not all the king’s horses, nor all the king’s men - can put Draco back together again.
[One-sided, Draco-centric, DHr romance set after DH]
This is very well done, dear! I love how you told it in second-person. It is a nice change, but it also really helps you gain a greater understanding of the character. You provided a wonderful insight into Draco Malfoy's mind. And the way that Hermione doesn't talk as much really also adds to it, because it focuses your attention onto Draco and on his emotions. =)
A little typo, I believe:
simply starring
Self-delusionment had always been easy for you.
Another beautiful line, here. I love it! It really captures Draco's life in only a few words. How true it is, and the way it is written just...*sighs*
Her voice doesn’t sound very happy at all, and she is looking at you like she is begging for something.
This part confuses me a bit, however. What is she begging? I know you are making it vague, and you don't have to state it directly, but just give a bit more of a hint.
I love Draco's reaction to her engagement. I can just feel how he feels, and how he just runs away. He's furious with himself for letting himself fall in love, and then he just shuts it all out after it fails him again.
but you feel the shards of your heart splinter all over again.
This really fits Draco's character. =)
This is a beautifully breathtaking piece, and I LOVE it. Dramione is only good when people really capture the character and emotion, and I believe you have done so. =)
--Hanni
Author's Response: Well, I fixed that little \"starring\" blooper. Thanks for the catch! And I really do appreciate all your kind compliments on the story. I\'m thrilled you enjoyed it, and that you liked the second-person -- I know some people don\'t like it at times.
Also, I apologize if you found the \"Her voice...\" paragraph to be confusing. I was vague, but it was supposed to convey that she knew --in a way-- how her engagement would hit Malfoy and knew he wouldn\'t be pleased. Or something.
Anywayz, thank for the review and Happy New Years!!! 8D

This is one of my favorite fics ever, I have to tell you. I've been hanging on to the updates for a long time. And speaking of Bellatrix, I'm listening to Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp on my iPod. XD
Like I said before, I love your characterisation of Tonks. I really enjoyed her sarcastic comments and being annoying in general.
And Bellatrix, I liked your portrayal of her too. Especially the hair. I love the hair, XD. She was a bit more compassionate here, and I like it. XD
I love your writing in general, dear, so keep on with your fics! =)
Thanks for writing such a great fic!
--Hanni
Author's Response: Thank you ever so much, Hanni! I do love your reviews-- it\'s nice to see something constructive. I\'m really glad you like this fic-- it means a lot :)
And thank you for writng such a great review!
Oooh! Cliffie!
I love how you characterize Tonks, with all the parentheses. Your image of her is great! You seem to have a grasp on her. I love all the afterthoughts. XD
Keep on writing this!

Author's Response: Aww, thanks so much, Hanni! Your review made me smile. And yes, there\'s more of Tonks to come! :)
Pushit by MaiaMadness
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 5]
Summary:
I rather like this story a lot. The whole plot was in-character, if you can say that.
You just feel so bad for the both of them, and they can't make it work. They're driven insane by it. It's not too happy-making.
But, I have a question. What made you decide to make Draco so different in this fic? What drove him to this point?
I really loved it, a LOT!
Author's Response: I think there are only two ways for Draco\'s character to progress. One is for him to become stronger, beat his cowardly Slytherin side and stand taller. The other is going the opposite, perhaps trying to do those things but failing. In this scenario he truly has no courage and inner strength and once the pressure gets to him, he snaps. Can\'t deal. I wanted to show this vision of Draco, as the one in TMLWKY is obviously turning into the former.
\r\n
\r\nI get so tired of fluff sometimes, I just have to write something super-angsty to balance it out. I have a hard time doing in between stuff...
\r\n
\r\nThanks for reviewing! I\'m glad you enjoyed it, and that you found them to be in character. I was worried about that because I took those sides of them to the extemes, but if they were still IC, that\'s great! Thank you very much!
