Realizing by Croyez
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Told from Ron's point of view, his account of how he came to accept the Harry/Hermione 'connection'.
And it’s the way they act, the way they sit so closely together, both squinting down at the writing on the page, arms brushing each other’s…Like they don’t notice at all. Like it’s just normal. Like everything’s the same.
Date: 04/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Interesting story, I've never read a H/Hr-fic from Ron's POV! I thought it started out really realistic - Ron realizing that they are close, and he gets somewhat disturbed and disgusted by it. That was funny, the big happy family part =D It was cute that Ron kind of realized that he'd always been an idiot towards Hermione, and that he apologized... but I can't see Ron reacting the way he did at the end! Even if he's grown, he's still a bit immature... or something... I don't know. On the other hand, I've never really liked Ron (because most of the time he's just plain stupid =P) Anyways, that was funny too, that bit with 'some other girl will get the spice and passion that a relationship with me has'... I laughed hard at that. It saved me from not liking the ending all that much. But who am I to criticize your story, your writing's wonderful and you're so talented! A few small typos, but nothing big really. Well, I better stop rambling. 8/10, for a truly interesting H/Hr one-shot!
Back to You by CharmedLife19
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Each are filled with six years worth of misconceptions, but after one strange night, both are about to learn that things aren’t always as they appear and sometimes, the person it all comes back to, is the one you want most to forget…
Date: 04/29/06 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 1: If Ever a Day was Perfect
Yay, I'm first to review! =D Nice fic, this is! I think you're portraying Ginny really well (both in the prologue and in this chapter). Your writing is amazing, you can really understand the way Ginny's feeling. There were no spelling errors, but the grammar and phrasing was a bit strange in some places, you may want to take an extra look at that. Anyways, this story is really interesting, I want to see where it's going! Please update! =)
All Hallows Eve, 1981 by rockinfaerie
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: A young woman's world falls apart as she stands, terrified, in her bedroom, clutching her baby son. She is so desperate to save him that she is willing to die in his stead. A young, lonely man, an intruder, is desperate to save her, but is willing, along with his cruel master, to murder her son.
Date: 05/01/06 Title: Chapter 1: Part One
Wow, this story is amazing! An interesting take on that terrible Halloween night, and extremely well-written. Lily's emotions were all very realistic and in-place, I could feel exactly what she felt when James died. You're really talented! Keep it up, and update soon! =)
Author's Response: Thank you - it was really important for me to make the emotions in this fic realistic, so I\'m glad it worked for you! I hope you like the second part - when it gets up, of course!
Date: 05/16/06 Title: None
*gasp* It's Voldie! Omg! =P
I really like this story, you're a great writer and describe things well - I could picture everything in my head. It was a bit unnecessary to go over the ending of HBP again, but... how did Voldemort kill Dumbledore? It was Snape! =/ Anyways, the story was a bit rushed, and the chapter could have been a bit longer. But in whole, it was great! I'm looking forward to reading more (especially when the H/Hr comes in =P) ! Update soon! =)
Author's Response: Yeah I thought it was a little rushed myself, but being my first fan fiction I feel as I have the right to be a little rusty. I\'m really glad you like it. I\'ll try to update it as soon as possible.

I Promise by hhrxlove
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: It's been 10 years since the trio has graduated from Hogwarts. Harry left the on graduation day to fight Voldemort. Hermione and Ron haven't heard of him since. Now, the Hogwarts 10 Year Reunion is coming up, and Hermione will face Harry for the first time since they kissed on graduation day. Will anything ever be the same?
Date: 08/27/06 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Over and Over
Grrrrr such a mean cliffie!!
I liked this chapter, it had a lot of cute moments. I like your writing, it's really easy-flowing, but it'd be nice if you described some things a bit more... like Hermione's dress... =P But I suppose you want to leave that for the reunion. Hope that's next chapter!
I can't wait to read more, please update soon with another (longer) chapter! =)
Date: 08/04/06 Title: Chapter 3: What Happened To Us
This story is great! It perfectly well demonstrates that Hermione and Ron love each other, but just don't work out.
What I don't get, is how everybody knows that Harry's coming to the reunion... then again, there could be some spell that forces all Hogwarts students to go, so they can't skip it =P But it actually doesn't matter, because I really want Harry to come to the reunion! I want to see how him and Hermione react when they meet again!
And will they be able to forgive Ron for telling Harry to stay away...?
Please update soon, I want to see where this is headed! You're a great writer, keep it up! =)
Date: 09/13/06 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Never Had A Dream Come True
The chapter we've all been waiting for, yesss!!! And it was as wonderful as I had imagined! Oh Harry... what had you expected... now I just can't wait to know how this turns out! PLEASE update soon! You are a terrific writer and this story is great! =)
Journeying with Albus by joanna
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Accompany Cassandra West on the journey of her life. See how an uneventful ship voyage turns into danger, love and magic.
Written for the May Monthly Challenge One: Pilgrimage where this fic was runner-up in its category!
Slightly AU.
Date: 06/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Journeying with Albus
Hey Joanna!
You’ve done an AMAZING job here. There’s a constant flow to your writing, which makes it easy to read and very interesting. I liked that you alternated between narrative text and the letters home to England; it gave the story a bit of variation.
The research you’ve done must’ve been extensive; both the little facts and things about Greece, staying on a ship and the time period added to the brilliance-ness of the story and nothing felt too forced, or anything. Great job!
Journeys end in lovers meeting...
You’ve gotta love that quote =P It fits very well with your fic and you’ve done a very good job making it into a full story. =)
I also liked how you gradually let the reader know the relationship between Cassandra and Albus, how they know each other and why they’re journeying to Greece together. Cassandra’s character is lovely – not as crazy as the Trelawney we know, but with the same (yet more advanced) Seeing capabilities. You wrote those very well; both the premonitions and prophecy were believable and just like I would’ve imagined them to be and feel like. =) Your characterization of Albus was AWESOME, exactly like I thought he would have been as a child. Clever, intelligent and extremely curious, always thirsty for knowledge. I also liked the adventurous side you put to him, I think that fits in as well and it was a nice, sweet touch to the story!
I love every little bit of this story. I wished it were longer, and that we would’ve found out what the captain’s real intentions were! This is such a great story, you’ve done a wonderful job, honestly! Awesomely done, Joanna! =)

Gemini Swapped by Cheshlin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Fred and George have been experimenting with some disguising potions. Things get weird when one of their experiments swap their bodies, instead of disguising them.
This Story came in third in the One-shot challenge, Twins on the Beta Forums.
Date: 05/11/07 Title: Chapter 1: Gemini Swapped
LOL! This was hilarious, Cyns. Sure, you're a twin, but I still can't see how you came up with this wonderful idea! =D
I think you've chosen good characteristics for Fred and George; I've never really seen the differences between them, but I'm sure there must be some, and you convinced me. It was fun to see Ginny realising their switch, and the scenes with Angelina were just plain LMAO-moments! =P
I think you've done a very good job of developing a fun and original idea. Was it for that drabble challenge? *suspects it was a liiiittle long for a drabble* =P Anyways, only piece of crit I've got is that you used 'then' when it should've been 'than' in some places, and that I'd have loved for it to be longer and even more descriptive =D Good job, hun! *huggles*
~Jen
Author's Response: Thank you so much for such a great review! I have always had problems with Then and Than. I\'ll try to fix that. I wrote this for a Monthly One-shot challenge a while back, and I even place in it! :) THis is the only story that I have ever had place. It was a lot of fun to write, and I just emphasized the same type of differences in them as is in me and my sister. :)

'Harry, you prat' by Croyez
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: How a mistake from Harry brings him to see that he actually does kind of like the idea of him and Hermione. - “I mean…I don’t feel the way you think I do about what you said. It was odd—and a shock—but then I thought about it and…well, it just felt…right. I—argh…I don’t know how to explain it, but I just…sort of like the idea…of you and me…”
Date: 08/09/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
Aww, that was so sweet! I do love H/Hr-fics, especially when they're set after HBP (and therefore actually could happen in the books... =P)
Everyone was very in character - Ginny's behaviour was a bit strange, but hey, she's in love with Harry; and you don't see much of that side of Harry in the later books but I guess it's just hidden... we all know his greatest power is love.
This story was so sweet and so great, absolutely flawless, you're so talented, Croyez! The only thing that would have made me love it even more, would be if Harry had turned around and kissed Hermione back... in the middle of the stairs... oh well, all stories can't be over-romantic like me =P You're the best Croyez, can't wait to read more from you! 10/10!
Blind by chocomaniac
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A terrible Christmas, five years ago now, span their lives out of control. They leave, both still wondering at what could have been. But then, in the Muggle world, they find someone new. Is it possible they can learn to love again?
Date: 10/06/06 Title: Chapter 5: Confessions
I was so happy when I noticed that there were not only one but TWO new chapters! Yay! So, now that I've read them, I'm only even more wound up on this story and I just can't wait to read more!! Especially when/if Hermione meets Harry or Ron again, that would be very interesting! You're doing so good, you're really talented chlo, keep it up! =)
Date: 09/02/06 Title: Chapter 2: At First Sight
How can you even think of not continuing with this story?! It's the best!!
I had a feeling it was Ron... wow, a policeman?? It kind of fits him though, if he'd choose to pursue a muggle career. Anyway, I liked the characterization of him, three years after he was rejected, I felt so sorry for him! =(
And I just have to say, your song... it was beautiful. The lyrics were so good, so Hermione, and you could really see how she feels inside. If only this were a movie, and you could actually hear Hermione singing!
This chapter was so great, even though it was short! PLEASE continue with this fic, please! =)
Date: 08/09/06 Title: Chapter 1: Reconciliation
Wow, this chapter was amazing! It was after all only an introduction, and not much H/Hr-romance, but your writing was so good that I didn't care!
I just have to ask you something... while reading, I was constantly reminded of the story "Crestfallen" by coven. Have you by any chance read it? Cos it's the same kind of plot... and Hermione's shop is called the Book Nook... Not that I mind, it's one of my favorite stories, and now this one is too =D I was just curios.
I love what you've got going here! You've really got a way with words, you're so talented! Pleeease update soon, I can't wait! =)
Author's Response: I haven\'t read it, no. But this is a very overdone plot anyway, and I\'m very sorry I stole the name of the bookshop.
Date: 09/09/06 Title: Chapter 3: Bittersweet Reunion
Eeep, you finally updated! You've made my day!!
So...it isn't Ron? Or has he dyed his hair? Hmm... The plot thickens. I'm curious to see where this story is going!
And what about Harry? Gone? My life is over! =(
Please update soon, you are such a fabulous writer I can't even try to describe how much I like your writing! It makes me feel all happy! =D Can't wait 'til next chapter!

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Ron Weasley is on a mission. Involving a ring, candlelit dinner and one Hermione Jane Granger. But what happens when his foolproof plan goes completely wrong?
Date: 09/17/06 Title: Chapter 1: Awkwardly Ever After
Aww, so cute!
I'm not even sure why I started reading this fic, I'm the biggest Harry/Hermione-shipper there is, and yet, I just couldn't stop reading. Your writing is just breathtakingly good, simply fantastic. You're really talented! Both humour, romance, and a little bit of everything else, it was just great! Too bad you're a Ron/Hermione-shipper... =P
Good job on this one! I'm looking forward to reading more of your work! =)

Date: 02/14/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Gingersnap Cookies
Hmm... you sure you need another review? ;P Anyway, I liked this chapter a lot! Very good characterization of Hermione and it was a nice way to have the readers know what happened during those ten years through her thoughts. I really have to go now, but I'm adding this to my favourites so I can continue reading on chapter 2 when I have more time!! =)
Author's Response: Sorry for the long absence! I always try to answer reviews right away, but maybe you didn\'t notice =) Anyway, thank you for the characterization compliment! And the one about explaining the past through her thoughts! It will only get better, I promise! =D
A Stolen Past by nuw255
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Fifteen-year-old Harry Potter wakes up in his cupboard under the stairs at number four, Privet Drive with no memory of the past five years of his life. What happened to his memory? What do his strange dreams mean? And most importantly, how will he survive in a school for incurably criminal boys?
This is primarily a mystery, with a bit of shippiness thrown in here and there. Of course, if I told you WHO is involved in the shippiness, that would ruin part of the mystery, wouldn’t it?
This story takes place immediately after OotP (and thus disregards HBP).
Date: 10/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Memory Loss
Hmmm, this is a very original concept... I like it! I think you wrote this extremely well - that he felt like he should be congratulated on his birthday, and probably has at least one friend. Your writing is great, it has an easy flow and rythm to it, which I like! The only thing I thought could've been done better, was right at the beginning - how could he immediately know that it had gone 5 years since his last memory? Maybe you could've written something like: "He knew that he was 15 years old..." beacuase then it would've made more sense how he knew... Other than that, amazingly interesting start to what I can only assume to be a very different story! Can't wait to read more! =)
Author's Response: Ooooh, I\'m so excited - my first review for this story (you should be honored). Thank you for the compliments (*blush*) and for the suggestion. I guess I just didn\'t really think about how Harry would know that he had \"lost\" five years. I hope you continue to like it as the story progresses.
Reminiscent Rain by EtherealElation
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary:
One foot.
One foot in front of the other.
One foot in front of the other, step-by-step, walking –
So careful not to tread upon the crumbling dust and bones that is all that is left of –
Them.
Date: 10/07/06 Title: Chapter 1: Amori
Wow. I'm speechless.
It felt so real, so... I don't know. Wonderful, realistic, Hermione-ish, beautiful, canon, excellent, emotional. Simply great. I especially loved that it was written on some kind of verse, with repititions but small variations in them, not only the poem part, but the in-between as well. It was just beautiful, it made me all soft inside.
This piece is just screaming talent; now I'll have to go check if you have any other stories posted. Just know that this was absolutely astoundingly good, so well-written, definately one of my favorites. The only thing I was thinking was that maybe it belongs in the poetry category... And I would've loved it to be a bit longer... Anyway. Like honey for the soul, or something like that. Splendid. 10/10
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! It\'s my first work here, so I\'m thrilled for a nice review.
I didn\'t put it in the poetry category because it wasn\'t supposed to be a poem when I started it... I guess it did end up as one, though.
Thank you for the suggestions! They\'re greatly appreciated.
To Whom It May Concern by poo_tah
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: “She was holding a quill on her hand; trying to do what she unsuccessfully attempted every night: write. She wanted to let it all out, her fears, her thoughts, her feelings, everything; on an untrustworthy piece of parchment. Tonight it seemed she wasn’t getting anywhere. She couldn’t sleep, even if she did; she’d dream of the face she couldn’t forgive nor forget.”
Ginny stays up one night after her fifth year trying to face what she dreads the most....

Hey! You already know that I think this story is fantastic, but I just have to say it again. You portray Ginny's feelings in a very realistic way, and the ending is so cute! Way to go, girl! =D
Author's Response: Don\'t forget you helped a little...
Forever Be With Me by dollfaceDISASTER
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: I was on the wrong side, if I had been fighting beside her, she wouldnt have died.
Date: 01/06/07 Title: Chapter 1: Forever Be With Me
Very sad, I got a bit teary at the end =) Well written, with nice and fitting words and rhyming. Draco and Hermione are so cute =)
Author's Response: Awh, that made me smile when you said you got a bit teary. Not because of the sadness, but at the fact that my story portays strong emotion and people can feel it. Thanks.
