Just William chapter 18 . 12/30/2018 Checkered taxi? Highly unlikely in the UK. |
Just William chapter 8 . 1/25/2018 Price of the rings are in $$$'s - did they fly to the U.S. to buy the rings? |
nayin17 chapter 1 . 5/8/2016 Huh? He left for 4 years and when he came back, she let him shagged her? As in? |
Stephanie O chapter 22 . 2/26/2011 If Harry & James are shopping in Diagon Alley, they would not have gone by Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, as that is in Hogsmeade, and I don't believe Butterbeer is on the menu there. Cute ending to the story! I'm a little curious as to what Molly's pointers for them were, though! :P Thanks for writing! |
Stephanie O chapter 21 . 2/26/2011 You made Kingsley Shacklebolt a reporter? Oh, my, that is just so ... wrong. He is an auror! I can see why Harry was so emotional after his dream, though...it was all so sweet a picture, and then to wake up and realize it wasn't real after all would be a major let-down, to put it mildly! Also, why didn't you name their daughter Lily? I understand why their boy was named Sirius James in this story, since James was already taken, but his mum Lily was literally ignored in this, until the dream. |
Stephanie O chapter 20 . 2/26/2011 Sweet chapter! How exciting that Harry delivered his own babies! He's just a man of many talents, isn't he! :D |
Stephanie O chapter 17 . 2/26/2011 I thought you gave a lovely description of their dinner/dancing date, and their preparations beforehand! A very exciting ending to Nagini as well! :) |
Stephanie O chapter 15 . 2/26/2011 Great chapter! :) |
Stephanie O chapter 13 . 2/26/2011 I think it's wonderful that Harry has met his godfather's son...and how striking that he bears such a resemblance to Harry, even though they're not related by blood. I can't wait until they get a chance to talk! :) I disagree with this statement: "You-Know-Who inadvertently bestowed on me, his most bitter enemy, the greatest weapon on earth…the ability to love." First of all, Harry never called Voldemort "You-Know-Who" and wouldn't refer to him as such when talking with others, either, after Dumbledore's teaching him about 'fear of a name.' Also, I find it impossible to believe that Voldie could possibly bestow anything remotely related to love to anyone else, either purposely or unwillingly. Yes, Harry's power to love is "the power the Dark Lord knows not"...but that is from his mum's sacrifice, not ol' Voldie. He knows nothing of love, so he couldn't possibly bestow it upon anyone. |
Stephanie O chapter 12 . 2/26/2011 I loved these lines: "Really? I assure you, Potter, the wizard hasn't been born who can best me!" "You forget the prophecy, my Lord. He already has…and he is standing before you right now!" It was very convenient that Voldie allowed his attention to veer off of Harry & his crew...I wouldn't think he'd do that even for Bellatrix meeting her demise, considering the unfeeling snake he is. Did anyone kill Nagini? |
Stephanie O chapter 11 . 2/26/2011 It's a really nice thought that they could take postgrad. courses at Hogwarts. I'm surprised I've never read any mention of the possibility in other FF stories, because it is plausible in my mind. A very good idea, in any case! I meant to ask in a previous chapter...is it even possible to stun a dementor? For some reason I don't think so, based on what I've read before. They're not exactly solid, so I'd think a spell like that would just pass through them, harmlessly. Just a thought. Thanks for writing! |
Stephanie O chapter 4 . 2/26/2011 Wow, what a dream! |
Stephanie O chapter 3 . 2/26/2011 I hate to say this, but there's a little too much "back story" in this chapter. Most of this would already be well known by anyone who has read the books or seen the movies, so the effect leaves it seeming a bit "wordy." I'm sorry if this offends you, because it's really not my intention, but sometimes it seems like you're trying to give so much back information just to prove that you know all their history, and this just "bogs down" the reader unnecessarily. Just my opinion. |
Stephanie O chapter 2 . 2/26/2011 It was a bit confusing...when did Harry's flashback end and the present time begin? It may have been helpful to have had some kind of divider in between the past & present to help stave off that confusion. Good chapter, though! :) |
Stephanie O chapter 1 . 2/26/2011 I loved the beginning to this story - I thought it summed up Harry's feelings for Ginny perfectly. I don't think all of the dialogue between Harry & Ginny is exactly true to character though...some parts read more like a romance novel, not like two young adults would talk. "...the lovers were totally enervated, so they decided to simply go to sleep now and talk in the morning." [If they were enervated, they would not feel like going to sleep. Did you mean exhausted or something like it, perhaps?] "But you also broke up with her a few weeks later, after Dumbledore was [?] you finally realize that you can't be afraid to love her,..." [This was rather confusing...it seems to be missing a word or two.] Good story so far! :) |
