Hi, I'm Valentinia, your typical Harry Potter obsessed teen.
I've read the HP books so many times that I've lost count, but I'm guessing most of you on MNFF have done the same!
Otherwise, I'm pretty boring.
My favorite band is Evanescence.
My favorite HP characters are Luna "Loony" Lovegood and Petunia Dursley.
My favorite HP book is PoA.
My favorite HP chapter is "Career Advice" from OotP.
My favorite HP film is probably OotP.
My favorite HP actor is Evanna Lynch. There're a lot of great ones though!
I'm an all-out Ron/Hermione, Luna/Harry and Ginny/Neville shipper. *Sigh*. I know, I know, Canon just sort of ruined those last two. Still, Harry/Ginny was okay. I guess.
I also love stories about Parvati, Padma and Lavender, because I think they deserve some character and depth and they're often deprived of it and made into girly non-humans.
And here some cool things from other people's profiles:
Weird is good, strange is bad, and odd is when you don't know which to call someone. Weird is the same as different, which is the same as unique,so weird is good. If you are weird and proud of it, copy this onto your profile!
92 percent of American teens would die if Abercombie and Fitch told them it was uncool to breathe. Copy this in your profile if you would be the 8 percent that would be laughing your head off.
If you're one of those people who get excited when you see just two reviews, paste this into your profile.
If you've been on the computer for hours on end, reading numerous fanfictions, copy this into your profile
If you don't watch Laguna Beach or the O.C. or The Hills religiously, never have, never will, and are proud of it, copy and paste this into your profile.
You know you live in 2007 when...
1. You go to a party, sit down and take MySpace pics.
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don't have AIM/LiveJournal/MySpace.
4. You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the button on the TV.
6. Your evening activity is sitting at the computer.
7. You read this list, and keep nodding and smiling.
8. You think about how stupid you are for reading this.
9. You were too busy to notice number five.
10. You actually scrolled back up to check if there was a number five.
11. And now you're laughing at your stupidity.
12. Put this in your pro if you fell for it. You know you did.
Ninety-five percent of teenagers are concerned about being popular. If you are one of the five percent who aren't, copy this, put it in your profile, and add your name to the list: Queen S of Randomness 016, Queen B of Randomness 016, AnimieKittyCaffe, The Gypsy Pirate Queen, That Bloody Demon, The Astrology Nerd, Shadow929, Crazy Billie Joe Loving Freak, Yavie Aelienel, Hyperactively Bored, Spymaster E, Shanny-Boo, Gem W, Brown-eyed angelofmusic, piratesswriter/fairy to be, Bara-Minomoto, Em Quagmire, Buffy The Mary-Sue Slayer, Random Little Writer, SamanthaFantasyFan, EdwardAddict, Supergirrl, Elemental-ANimal, Mother Nature's Daughter, Schmerg_The_Impaler, Carmona, Hanabi, Valentinia

COME ON!!!! if the mods don't let u post the next chap soon, could u plz, plz, plz!! post it on another website and let us know which one? ur story is soooooooo good and I really want 2 know what happens next! (10!!!)
Author's Response: I actually have 2 (yes, two!) new chapters up on fanfiction.net, checkmated.com, and harrypotterfanfiction.com if you'd like to see. (I suggest checkmated.com 'cause I have a beta there and because it's my favorite site!) I know what you mean about the mods. Seriously, I sent it in a while ago and I haven't even gotten a note about it so I'm at a loss at what to do. Try contacting one of them to let them know that you want the story and get other people to read it. Otherwise, all I can say is try to be patient and hope that the mods are merciful and post the new chapter soon.
This chapter was really good, your plot is just getting better and better (if that's even possible) I'm really enjoying your story, please post the next chapter soon!! p.s. Where's my cookie?

OMG! this story is soooooo gr8!! you have to update soon! please, there's people going insane around here! *rips at hair and screams in agony*
I agree with Ataraxia on everything, (except her views on a R/Hr relationship, it will happen!!) and have been waiting so long for an update. Please don't make your poor fans wait any longer. We're dying here!
That was so cool. I love fluff and happy endings, with just a little adventure/mystery/(angst) This was the perfect combination. Way to go.
p.s. I agree with zobothewitch, please write a sequel
Author's Response: Sequel is coming. At first I was just set out to write a strictly romance piece, but then I kept coming to places that would support other genres as well and I couldn't help myself. I am not the best writer by no means however this is a great way for me to pass the time waiting on the next book. And if so many like reading it then all the better. Thanks for all the support and I hope to see you again once the sequel has begun.
That was a sad story, but it was so good. Is there any possibility that you will write a sequel? I'd love to see one, that story was great!
Ok, I admit that I think most humor fics are kinda pathetic, but that was hilarious!!! Soooo funny! I'm still laughing! (I know, I'm an overreacter, but it was funny!)
Usually I don't really go for Angsty!Ginny, as I find that it's a bit over-used and can get very cliché. Therefore I must say it takes guts to attempt to write her. This story was very original, though.
I really enjoyed how Ginny's feelings are made so clear by what she says about the sun, the wind, the moon. It also ties together nicely in the end when she reflects on them again, and sees them in an entirely different light.
I think you portrayed all the characters very well, too. It's especially good how Ginny blames herself for not being like them, naming the good qualities she wishes she had, and then, when her friends come, it's those qualities that she was hurting herself over that essentially save her.
The imagery that is used is slightly disturbing (definately not in a bad way, though), and described quite well, though I'd have liked to have seen just a bit more description (even though the fic is mostly focused on emotion, which you portrayed very well).
I really liked the "Slice" part, since it was a straightforward, believable reason for why Ginny was doing what she was doing.
It's also very good that she wasn't completely healed in the end (that would have been way too fast) but that the reader knows she is healing.
All in all, this is a great one-shot.
I must confess I read most of this story in one go a few weeks ago and couldn't think of a good enough review to write. This fic is absolutely wonderful, and I'd say the best take on Remus' life I've ever read. Of course the writing was wonderful, the descriptions touching and the feelings of characters realistic. Everything from hilarious to horribly sad, this fic covered it all. The way all the pieces and hidden clues fit together was JKR worthy and I especially enjoyed the Abel/Kane transition, which you pulled off wonderfully, giving the read just the right mix of a little pity and a lot of resentment and hatred for the twisted werewolf. Your "feral" idea is brilliant by the way. And so is a lot more, it really can't be expressed in a single review, so I'm not going to try any longer. Instead, I think I'll go read the sequel! :D
:D Go you for figuring the ages like that! I've always hated when "chat" things go AGAINST canon!
Anyway... I'm really enjoying this chapter! It's fairly angsty, of course, but with some light bits - perfect combination! And I love your characterization of Remus! I can't wait to see what he's planned!
Wow. I'm very impressed. You showed how each girl used the stregths they have (the stregths that got them each into the house they're in) to save themselves. I love the similarity in the "formatting" of what each girl thinks, but the difference in what they do, and then the fact that they all have the same goal. Magnificent! One thing though. I don't think Lavender is a pureblood. In PoA she doesn't know what the Grim is. But that's a tiny thing, and I could be wrong. Anyway, all in all, this story is wonderful. The enidn sums everything up so well!
Cool story! I really like Grayson's character! Can't wait to get started on Ginny's Journey! But anyway... I love how he's a Hufflepuff - I think that really adds to his character, especially since he acknowldges that he's not actually brave, per se, but unafraid. He seems like such a passionate person! I also love his interactions with Dumbledore - you've got Dumbledore perfectly in character. All in all... a great story!
