Parts Left Behind by hpluver365
A poem about leaving a part behind when apparating versus leaving a part behind when leaving a relationship.
It's Not Meant to Be by hpluver365
Harry vents his angst over what’s expected of him through poetry. As the time of the Final Battle draws nearer, he becomes more and more nervous and tentative to continue on the path he walks. The help people give him, the hope they send his way, none of it is enough for Harry on this particular day. He finally loses it and this poem shows what he really feels, deep down inside where no one has seen before.
Note: The violence and character death warnings are because part of Harry’s rant concerns the killing of Voldemort.
Light After Dark by hpluver365
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, a lot closer. That’s what Hermione’s doing when she begins dating Draco Malfoy at the request of her best friend, Harry Potter. Hermione, date Malfoy? It’s true. She’s fed up with watching Ron and Lavender play tonsil hockey in the Gryffindor common room, and wants to make him jealous. She’s also sick of hearing Harry complain that Malfoy is up to something, something big. So, she does it. However, many questions still stand. Will Malfoy accept her as his girlfriend? Will Ron become so jealous that he leaves Lavender? Will Harry find out what Malfoy’s up to? This tale captures a chunk of the Trio’s sixth year at Hogwarts, with a slight change of events.
Note: This is in the Hermione/Draco category, but it also contains Ron/Lavender and another ship towards the end. I'd tell you it, but it'd ruin the surprise. I will tell you that it is a canon ship so that those who hate fanon ships will know that they will eventually get some nice canon romance!

Sobs of a Child by tc015
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Second Place in March One-Shot Challenge.
What did he see in the cave that night? What made Dumbledore so frightened. A look at what Dumbledore saw that fateful night?
“Professor, can you hear me?” he says loudly, looking at you.
Who is he talking to? Is he talking to you? He can’t be. You aren’t a professor. Grown-ups are professors. Professors are wise; they would know how to stop the men. You don’t know how to stop them, so you can’t a professor.
Date: 05/07/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Oh My Godric! What amazing thoughts you intertwined into this fic! Give me a moment here, I need to ponder everything you said!
The first thing that came to mind was that I love reading fics of canon scenes from a different POV. This was a prime example of this type of fic. You did a great job keeping it canon and adding really interesting stuff that didn't make it boring.
Second, in the last part of the memory, when Aberforth is beaten, that could totally explain why he had no magical education, when Albus did. Maybe he had mental problems after the beating or something?
Overall, great writing, great ideas, great everything! The ideas for the flashbacks were very original and intriguing! Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thank you! I loved writing the flashback scenes. I always wondered what Dumbledore saw that night.
Date: 04/13/07 Title: None
Yay! I'm so glad to see this up! You worked long and hard on this piece and it turned out great! I can't wait to work with you on the next chapter!
Happy writing!
We Must Choose by james_fanatic
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Peter doesn't know what to do. He couldn't bear to betray his best friends, but he couldn't bear the wrath of the Dark Lord either...
Date: 06/04/07 Title: Chapter 1: We Must Choose
Wow. What a mixture of humour and dark/angst! I really liked it, Jamie! It was definetely an interesting idea for a fic, almost a missing moment type thing.
Great work! I think my favorite parts are the little bits of humour, because it lightens up the mood so that when the dark stuff happens, it seems all the darker.
When you said, Harry, it's timed for bed. you accidently said timed instead of time.
Keep up the great writing!
CJ
Author's Response: Thanks, CJ! Yeah, I didn\'t really mean to put the humour in. I guess I just do that naturally because of my personality. My friends say that, anyways. *shrugs*
Thanks for the great review! *huggles*

Before It Begins by Lalalalatina
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: The stars blink at the earth
Like innocent eyes.
The wind gently blows,
Carrying whispered goodbyes.
A slighly dark poem about what may happen before the final battle.
Date: 05/19/07 Title: Chapter 1: Before It Begins
Wow! That was even better than your other poem that I read! Amazing word choice, I mean amazing! The flow through the piece is very well done and sophisticated. I really like:
The stars blink at the earth
Like innocent eyes.
The wind gently blows,
Carrying whispered goodbyes.
It's just so...I'm speechless!
I also love your use of similies!
Great work! Keep it up!
Author's Response: Sophisticated? Wow, thank you. I love good similies that just really make you stop and think and imagine what the author is speaking of. I\'m so glad you liked it. Gracias for reviewing. ^_~
The Worth of an Uncanny Love by BloodRayne
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Cho Chang is in an abusive relationship with a person she loves more than herself.
2nd Place in the Spring Challenges, *To Laugh or Cry* prompt, by BloodRayne of Gryffindor.
Date: 05/27/07 Title: Chapter 1: Really Worth it?
Wow. That was a great piece. I’m speechless. That was definitely one of the most powerful pieces I’ve read today, and I’ve reviewed over ten pieces today. Honestly, that was absolutely amazing. I really loved the life lessons you weaved into this fic. When I read something, I always love to learn from it, and your fic re-enforced the lessons my parents instilled in me as a small child – and are still instilling in me as a teenager! One of my favorite lessons you mentioned was brought to life in this line:
[i] But then, life is full of ‘ifs,’ and they are all obsolete. [/i]
Before I continue, I would like to point out one dialogue error.
[i] “Cho, are you alright?” He asked worriedly.[/i]
The “h” in “he” should be lowercase.
Continuing right along, I would like to mention this one line two lines that made me laugh. In a sea of horrible concepts, you still manage to slip something funny in there! Brilliant! It reminds me of a funeral speech. They’re always so much better when they are funny because they cheer everyone up. First funny quote:
[i] “Well, I don’t know why you feel compelled to label it, but yes, I suppose it would be considered that,” he muttered uncomfortably. [/i]
Typical! I love it! That is the perfect portrayal of the awkwardness of asking someone out and the nervousness enveloping the situation. However, because of how, for lack of a better word, cliché it is, its hysterical!
[i] Yun handled the situation briskly. “My daughter fainted a while ago. We want to know what the problem is.” Her tone clearly indicated that he was not to ask any questions. Slowly, Dr. Wayne nodded and the checkup began.[/i]
I have absolutely no idea how you did this. Here you are, discussing a serious concept, but its funny! It’s the mutual agreement between Yun and Dr. Wayne not to ask questions that puts me in stitches. I can’t figure out why. It must be the way you wrote it - you’re such a fantastic author…
Finally, I would like to discuss the last line of this fic.
[i] Or at least…she hoped he would.[/i]
So suspenseful! It leaves the reader dying for more! You could not have a better ending phrase! With that last line, you could easily write another chapter. *hint hint*
Overall, fantastic job! I never realized us Gryffies had so many great writers amongst us!
CJ
Author's Response: Thanks, CJ! I don\'t think I intentionally included humor, but if it\'s there, I would like to think of it as subtle irony. ;) Thanks again for the review!
Keep Holding On by Disappearance_26
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you,
Until we meet again.
~Author Unknown
Roxanne feels she's about to disappear... to fade away. Yet, she still has to say goodbye to the one person she'll miss the most, she has to keep holding on... at least long enough to let Draco know she's leaving.
~Songfic to Avril Lavigne's Keep Holdin On
Date: 05/01/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
*tackles Priz*
Awww...it was great! I've been looking forward to reading this ever since I first saw that banner, and I'm so glad I have! My favorite line has to be, "the tension was so thick you could cut it with a Severing Charm. " I love it! I started clapping and dancing when I read that line! So creative of you! But then again...I already knew how creative you were!
This was so different than I imagined it to be, in a good way of course. Reading the title, I figured it would have the same vibe as the song. I was very very wrong. This piece was powerful, moving, and inspiring! You did a great job conveying feelings and portraying the characters!
I think it is so cute that you based the kiss on your own first kiss! Fanfiction should reflect life, and yours certainly does!
The ending is also very interesting. We never really find out why she dies, but she does. The entire concept was very interesting. I especially love how you had Malfoy fall in love with an intern Healer. If someone were to say that to me, I'd immediantly think it's OOC, but you portrayed in perfectly. I was convinced this could happen!
Overall, great fic! I'm so proud of you! *hugs Priz*
See you in the Gryff CR and the RHP! And, oh, WE WON THE HOUSE CUP!!! YAYYYY!!!
CJ
Author's Response: *is tackled* lol. SQUEE!!! THANKS FOR DROPPING BY, CJ!!! ok, capslock!Priz gone...
I\'m really glad you liked this, and I\'m specially thrilled that you thought it creative! Also, I\'m really relieved that I made this convincing and that I could keep my beloved Draco IC... I would\'t stand it if someone were to say I made him Mr. Mushy OoC!Draco. *shudders*
About the first kiss thing... *blushes madly so that her face gives the Weasley\'s hair a run for its money* Enough said...
Anyways, thanks for the amazingly great review and the lovely compliments! I\'m most grateful for all your support, dear. *hugs back tightly* See ya at the CR!!
Author's Response: YAAAAY!!!!! GOOOO TOASTERS!!!
Starlight and Shadows by Disappearance_26
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Ginny recalls the night Harry slipped away...
Date: 05/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
*tackles Priz...again*
Congrats on getting another piece validated! Mine just go rejected for the third time *growls menacingly at mods*
To your poem. I really like the idea for this. However, it is very very depressing that Harry dies. I hope that doesn't happen...
Some of the words you used were very poetic and worked well with the flow, such as "caressed" "celestial" "lethal grace" "embracing" "emulating"
My favorite verse is:
Now, he was somewhere far above.
Oh, how she missed him so!
He was her one true love,
But he had abandoned her a year ago.
It really sums up the piece and ties everything together.
Great work...especially for your first poem in English. I can't wait to see more from you soon!
Luv ya,
CJ
Author's Response: *is tackled... again* lol. *squishes CJ* I\'m sorry your story got rejected, dear! *growls too* I\'m pretty sure it will be up soon! Never give up! :D
Yeah... I know it\'s depressing... I also hope that doesn\'t happen *is scared*. Anyways, I\'m really glad you liked my word choice and I\'m just thrilled that the ending was appropriate. I was worried that it might be a very abrupt ending to the piece.
Luv ya, too! Thanks for your great review! It really cheered me up!!! :D
Frozen by Sarakime
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: "Cold without you...
Never let me go."
It started out as watching, simply watching her while she peacefully slept in the common room. But slowly, for him, it turned into so much more - something that shaped his life. Draco Malfoy never would have imagined that Hermione Granger would've had such an affect on him - never would've thought he needed her so much.
Originally written as a drabble for FFTF OWL Romance Class.
Date: 05/26/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Frozen by Sarakime is a great example of a non-canon fic that isn’t over done. First off, the idea. The reader is informed by Sarakime that the fic was originally written as a drabble and then lengthened. This is evident in the writing. The main plot in the fic is very loose and short, almost unnoticeable. Anyone with the courage to write a Dramione fic, such as this, without an in-depth history explaining them together is very, very brave. At first, I wondered how Sarakime was going to pull this idea off, but as I read on, little quotes made the entire idea seem strangely plausible. Sarakime subtly hints at ideas behind the relationship, but not enough that it’s too obvious.
Sarakime’s word choice, sentence structure, and flow are very sophisticated and elegant. She uses repetition well in most places. My one complaint on this matter is that in the second paragraph, she writes “Hermione” far too many times. In my opinion, it would sound much better as “she.”
In my opinion, it’s the feelings portrayed through the writing that make this fic what it is. Sarakime did an excellent job of making her words come to life and form feelings and emotions. I am a very canon shipper, yet, I found myself loving the idea of Dramione as I read this fic.
As I drone on and on and get into the details, I realise that I am missing one of the main reasons this fic is so great. The simplicity of it. This simplicity most likely comes from it being written as a drabble, but it still shocks me each and every time I read it. Words so elegant, so well chosen, yet so simple. Ideas so basic and cliché (in a good way), simple. The simplicity strikes you as you read through Sarakime’s work. It captures your interest. I find it almost impossible to imagine this fic without the simplicity it now holds.
Wrapping this up, some fics are great not because of the plot development, but because of the lack of plot development. This can be difficult to pull off, but Sarakime did it perfectly and effortlessly. I applaud her for a great piece of work.
Author's Response: Wow, I am honestly speechless. This was the most amazing review ever. I\'m under the impression it was for the Recomend Your Favorite (Non-Canon) Story Part 4, and I am honored. I honestly don\'t know what to say, except thank you so much. And just to clear something up, in our class, we were given a banner with a catch phrase on it, and the one I chose to write about said \'Cold without you, never let me go\'. So I somehow connected that to Dramione and the result is this fic, Frozen. Thanks again!
A Rose Among Thorns by BeautifulDreamer07
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Ginny Weasley is living with a terrible secret. She is pregnant with Harry Potter’s child, but in a world where Voldemort rules and Harry is dead (or so everyone assumes), this is a deadly position to be in. Forced into marrying Draco Malfoy, Ginny must find a way to survive while hiding her pregnancy and the child that could turn out to be the next saviour of the wizarding world.
Date: 06/04/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Nothing Short of Angelic
*squee* Yay! Your amazing bunny is coming alive!
I really liked how you did the wedding vows. It was a unique way to do them. Other fics I've read have had the same vows as Muggles, which never made much sense to me...
I also liked how you justified their marriage. It worked much better than your original idea and was very plausible.
Excellent flow and sophisticated vocabulary. This fic is going to be amazing, I just know it!
CJ
Author's Response: Thank you CJ!! :D. Ch. 2 is coming soon. I can\'t wait!
Thanks for reviewing!
*huggles fellow TWSer*
Date: 07/01/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Nothing Short of Angelic
So...because I analyzed your fic for DADA, I'm just going to post a second review...
Once again, wedding vows, brilliant. I also loved how you not only weaved a lot of canon into this fic (ie, Bill and Fleur expecting, Ron and Hermione getting married, etc) but you also expressed your opinion as to what will happen in DH. Excellent job!
Another thing I noticed was that in that flashback where Ginny agrees to marry Draco, you show us the whole thing as opposed to telling it. Excellent!
From your fic, I derived one of the many possible themes as love can drive people to desperate measures. Go check out my reasoning in DADA, and feel free to rebut! ;)
Great job, hun!
CJ
Date: 06/14/07 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - You Don't Know?
Ohh! The suspense is killing me! Great turn of events...very creative! This bunny really is somethig...and you're very passionate about it too! You updated so quickly, Hallie!
You already know how much I adore this fic, and I can't wait to read more! This chapter was action-packed and ended on a cliff-hanger, great planning!

On the Last Day by meryal
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: The final battle is what every one's life depends on. How much can the wizarding world suffer?
1st place in the Rondeau Challenge!
Date: 06/23/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Wow! Sophie that was amazing! I wrote a rondeau myself, so I know how difficult it is, and you did an excellent job with it! I liked the turn at the end...the light shining it the darkness.
Overall, really great job. There's not much to comment on seeing as its fifteen lines, but great rhyming and making the whole thing work.
*hugs*
CJ
Author's Response: Thanks I\'m glad you liked it! I wasn\'t sure how clear the turn was, I\'m glad that it was apparent to you.
Worthless by crazy_purple_hp_freak
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A young Draco Malfoy learns that he must pay a hefty price for curiosity.
Date: 06/20/07 Title: Chapter 1: Worthless
I really liked this, Suzie. I thought it was interesting how it came full circle. The entire bunny was rather interesting. I've never read anything quite like it. Great originality.
It was well written as well, everything flowed perfectly, and everyone was spookily in character, I could swear you were Jo! ;)
My favorite line is the last one. So Draco, so full circle, so perfect.
Keep up the good work, Suzie!
CJ
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing CJ! I should totally take a leaf out of your book and procrastinate for less than 2 months before reviewing people\'s fics. :o hides*
Anyway. :D I\'m glad you like the circular effect. I think it would be realistic that one\'s childhood and parents influence what they grow up to be. Isolated incidents such as these are interesting to write about!
Jo? Nah... *blush* I\'m nowhere near that good. :p
Thanks again! <33
