Update: To Rekindle the Flame is complete and I'm currently working on the sequel, To Find the Truth and a Seamus/OC romance fic. Stay tuned!
I am an adult Harry Potter addict, which is one of the safer addictions to date (chocolate and fanfiction are also safe addictions). Hmm, what else? I love to read and write in my spare time, although lately I have become attached to sleeping and knitting also. My life is chaotic but routine which causes my updates to be less frequent than what I would like, so I apologize for that.
anyway, if you decide to visit, please let me know whether you enjoyed your stay or not. I know the neighbors can be rather distracting and I do keep reminding the help to put fresh flowers in the window but they do often forget. What can you do? The problems finding good help these days is ridiculous I say!
This story is great! I really loved it when Remus kissed Rachel too. I can't wait to read more!
really good story so far. It's funny and intriguing at the same time (sorry if I spelled that wrong) which is always exciting. Hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! I really do hope readers agree with me on the definition of "funny" because most of my friends confuse my humour for insanity. Chapter 2 is in the queue, and I hope you keep reading!
i love your sense of humor and how you portray it, especially in this story. can't wait for the next chapter!
I really like this story a lot, I especially like the role you placed Ginny in, because I absolutely adore her! I'm really curious to see what part the Mauraders are going to play in this story and very interested in who the girl is and what happened to her. keep writing!
great story so far! i'm looking forward to see where the rest of this goes, as far as Snape v Harry, and also what Ron and Hermoine are up to too (if it's relevant). update soon please!
Author's Response: Sorry, I blonded out and responded to the wrong review!!! Ron and Hermione unfortunately don't factor into this fic. Sending in the next chapter tonight for review, so fingers crossed!
Thanks for your review...
Well, that certainly does clear a few things up. I'm quite surprised about Hermione's magical abilities becoming more and more spectacular as the story moves on...the spell on her gloves, the illusion, Apparating in Hogwarts. I will say that I much prefer Severus' point of view in the story too. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because he's so cynical yet clueless(?) Don't take that as an insult...it's early and I've been studying for finals all weekend, I'm not really coherent right now. Great chapter by the way! Update soon!
Author's Response: It\'s not Apparating. Apparating is a conscious thing, that requires...Determination, Destination and...Dungbombs? Hee. Something like that anyway. This is more along the lines of the unconscious magic we know all the wizarding kids are capable of. Good luck with the finals; I made sure the next chapter was in Q before replying.
Another great chapter, I really do admire your writing ability. I really enjoy picturing Severus fumbling around, completely unsure of what to do or say next, it makes him appear human...which is something you don't always realize he is. I feel really horrible for Hermione though. The poor girl! I hope she is one day able to overcome those horrible events and be able to be happy with someone. I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Severus promises to help her overcome them. He has assured me of such. Thanks for reviewing!
This is a great story so far. Very intriguing and deep. I must admit I am not a fan of the Hermione/Snape ship, but between you and Subversa, I think I shall become quite the fan! I really like the idea of Hermione using a love spell, even though she apparently didn't really need to. She's quite the mischievious little witch isn't she? Hope to read more soon!
Author's Response: Yep. Subversa is what got me into this in the first place. I can\'t really say that I\'ve read many others who manage to perfectly capture the possibilites between them, and of an intelligent, mature and adult pairing
*nudges other Ravenclaws* *coughMagicalMaevecough*
Severus begs to disagree, though. In his experience, at this point, is that she\'s more of an annoying chit than a mischeivous little witch who is, in point of fact, not that little anymore.
*grin*
what a cruelly delightful cliffhanger! I can't wait to read the next chapter. I also should say I love the options he gave her, euphoria or alcohol...haha. His reasoning is so true too, which makes it even better. Update soon!
Author's Response: Yes, the euphoria or alcohol; it borders the line between OoC and IC, don\'t you think? Chapter is, as always, already in Q. Thanks for reading!
oh...you are evil! i'm honesly shaking with anticipation for what happens (or doesn't happen) next. god i hate cliffhangers...but they are so damn good too! i love the way you write, it's so...subtly descriptive and filled with such emotion. oh why can't chapter 5 be validated yet??
Author's Response: Hee. I love that. Love being evil...I do think that that\'s the worst of the cliffies throughout the series, though. I\'m glad you\'re enjoying the style; tell me: which chapters do you like better? His or hers? And chapter 5 should be through soon, I hope, I think. It shall shock...
wow...great writing in this chapter! It is a bit disorienting, but I'm kind of glad it's that way...you identify with Hermione much better. I wonder if she hurt Severus with all her fighting...
Author's Response: It was meant to be, sorry. I think this chapter had the least beta-ing done for it simply because I wanted to keep it that way. She\'s really scared and hurting in this...memory/dream/nightmare/thing and I needed that to come across. Painful to write, actually.
I really like this story so far. I especially like your writing style, it's very funny and descriptive. Update soon!
Author's Response: Haha, I wasn\'t sure exactly how humorous the humor actually was turning out, but I\'m glad that you like it. Hogwartsduchess gets a lot of credit for stylistic elements in this chapter... everything was all choppy and wacked out before she read it. Thanks for the support!
I really like this story so far. The whole Interpol thing is really creative. I can't wait to see what Jared has to offer and who sent him. Update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks -- creativity points are always nice. I hope you like chapter 3 (when it gets validated).
another great chapter! i liked the memory a lot, especially Jared attempting to attack his parents' murder...update soon!
Author's Response: Yeah, isn\'t it just like a kid, though? He\'s not thinking about the consequences of what he\'s doing, he\'s thinking, \'You hurt me, now I\'m going to hurt you.\' You\'ll find that Jared has some revenge issues.
This Post-Hogwarts fic focuses on Ron and Hermione’s ‘budding’ relationship while the four friends attempt to solve a mystery in a club called ‘Boundaries’. Will the boundaries that Ron and Hermione have barricaded themselves behind survive the ‘knock, knock’ of true love attempting to beat them down?
This fic is the sequel to Internal Battles also by Emily Jayne.
This story is now complete.
this is a great story so far. i can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thanks! I need a little encouragement. I have gotten a little discouraged as of late and knowing that the readers still enjoy it helps a lot!
wow, this story is so great! i happen to have a strong love/hate relationship with your cliffhangers...
i really like how real Hermione's internal battle is, it's written so well and those situations are usually really hard to get right, but you did really good! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! I tried! It was not even soemthing I went through, so I was drawing from what i felt it might be like. I think it might be even more intense than I portraied, but I gave it a shot!
oh no, evil cliffe...EVIL!! i'm definitely into this story now and i can't wait to find out who it is...although i have an idea. please update soon!
oh, and yay for first review! hehe!
Author's Response: I am evil! No not really, but the Cliffe\'s got you reading didn\'t they! I hope you like where the story is going and that you are suprised by who is there...it is a suprise that ties some things together I think!
you and your wonderful cliffhangers! i'm really enjoying this story so much and i can't wait to find out who is the mysterious man is...although i hope it's Ron!! update soon!
Author's Response: Oh you must read carefully dear, the clues to what has happened are there!
you were right, this definitely isn't your typical Harry/Ginny romance at all...but I really like it. You've really captured Harry's grief of losing Dumbledore, the anger and unfairness of losing his mentor for nothing more than a false horocrux. I also like how you rationalized Harry distancing himself from Ginny, it's very realistic.
The true brilliance to this story, in my opinion, is actually the involvement of Lily, James, Sirius and Dumbledore. I absolutely love the idea of them watching over Harry and coming up with ways to guide him through the rest of the fight with Voldemort. This story is started very well and I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Hi Hopelessly, Thanks for your very positive words. You know how much I\'m enjoying your story, so they are much appreciated. The use of Lily, James, Sirius, and Dumbledore was my attempt to bring a different slant to the tumoil I expect Harry to go through when he returns to the Dursleys in book seven. I\'m really glad you liked that direction!
Chapter 2 should be up fairly soon, depending on how the mods get through them. It\'s quite a long chapter -- almost 7400 words -- and shows how their plans are implemented.
Thanks for your wonderful words, Jim
This is a really great story. I like the tone you've set and I especially enjoy the similarities between 'the agent' and Snape...I'm really interested to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Those simliarities will become even more apparent as the story goes on... you\'ll be shocked...
