These were so much easier to write when I was thirteen...dammit. Oh well.
Name: Leah
Age: 16 going on 17
Location: Outside your back door.
Interests: Your life.
Favorite Things: Definately not The Sound of Music. Or Harry Potter, for that matter. Or sarcasm. Though why you would begin to think such things is beyond me.
Hobbies: Not musical theater, and most certainly not reading or writing.
Tired yet? I can keep going all day.
I won't, though, because you need to read some of those little gems down there. You know, the ones with my name next to them.
Hi kevin. here's some virtual cookies:

Author's Response: Kevin: Thanks, but I don\'t eat cookies, I eat comments about the story. Nice offer, though.\r\n\r\n
Oh my god that's SOOOOOOO good! I
Author's Response: I what? I what?! Thanks for reviewing anyways! :D\r\n\r\n~Evie
dammit, that's the second time that mnff has cut off one of my reviews! umm...i think I was saying that I love it or something. sry
niceeeeeeee...i LOVE neville's patronus! It's PERFECT I hope he does well!!!!!
Author's Response: The lion represents where Neville belongs to me (and Dumbledore, as he comments in the next chapter). This chapter marks an upturn for Neville, and a rise in confidence which he\'ll carry well into GoF.
omg sooooooooo good. I really like that you had lupin stay in control. It must be hard for you to let pettigrew get away; whenever I write fics, I always have trouble keeping myself from making everything wonderful and perfect (especially in the third book)!
Author's Response: I really wanted to illustrate some of the differences between Sirius and Remus in their reactions. Sirius rants (quite effectively), but it\'s Remus\' cool, almost sinister focus that truly unnerves Peter and makes him confess. His \"don\'t talk to me about pain\" speech is one of my favourites. Peter has to escape, or GoF becomes much harder to write! Plus Peter owes Neville of course, and I have a different fate in mind for him.
YAAAAAAAY that's really good! Awesome way to make the story your own!
Author's Response: Thank you for the enthusiasm! Three chapters to go in PoA...
Oooh! I'm very very excited! Keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks! Keep reading, two chapters to go in PoA, then on to GoF!
YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!! I can't wait for GoF! I really like your spin on the fate twist, and this series is really good so far! I'm excited to see what you do with GoF.
Author's Response: Your excitement is most appreciated! The first chapter of GoF is in the queue now. Check out the fic summary when it\'s posted for a few hints of what\'s to come.
Wow! That was really really good!
Author's Response: Thanks ye kindly. :)
Holy lord...poor, poor Harry. That is disturbing/interesting/sad. Poor Ronald too. Can't wait for the next one! }:)
Author's Response:
I’ve noticed that I ended this story in the exact opposite way it started. In the first chapter, it started off very dark, then BAM! Voldemort gets run over by a cement mixer. The last chapter is the reverse, starting off with humour but ending on a very morose note. With that in mind, I like to classify my story as a comedic tragedy or a tragic comedy – take your pick.
Indeed, there is plenty of pathos for the two survivors of the Trio. Harry Potter saw Hermione murdered in front of him, and Ron has to live the rest of his life as an unredeemed coward. However, many people are still alive who should have died had Voldemort not been defeated, such as Fred, the Lupins, and all the other casualties of the Battle of Hogwarts.
So, by simply running over someone with a cement mixer, I’ve created an entirely different world to explore. The sequel should be interesting!

OH...MY...GOD...you have a strange, strange, mind...love ur penname!
Author's Response:
Why, thank you! I would have to agree with you – I am quite mad, and my friends tend to think so too. Do you by any chance like Monty Python and the Holy Grail? That’s where I got my username from.
\r\n\r\nThanks for reviewing. Cheers!

I may have heard of it somewhere...possibly :) I
Author's Response:
If you haven’t seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I’d highly recommend that you do. Tim the Enchanter (the Scottish-accented wizard with the ram’s horns on his head) is played by John Cleese, and you meet him right before the Killer Rabbit scene.

\r\nwow...that was ur nightmare? i think u need to talk to a counselor...jk. it was very well written, though. Bravo!
Author's Response: Alright, I don\'t normally have nightmares, period, and this one haunted me for days. Though, you aren\'t the first to suggest I seek professional help *smile*
Thanks for the review!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! Ha ha hilarious!
Author's Response: I love knowing I made anyone laugh! Check out my other humour story "To Draco, With Love" if you get a chance!
hahahahahahaha...a little OOC, but it was funny!
Author's Response: Oops! I hate drifting out of character! I'm glad you liked it anyway, and thanks for the note!
"Lamarque is ill and fading fast, won't last the week out so they say..."
Yes, I know I'm several months too late, but I like feeling superior almost as much as I like Le Miserables.
And Michael Ball has the voice of an angel.
Author's Response: Bahahaha, thank you, Leah! It's funny, I got this review just as I finally let go of my inhibition and posted videos of myself singing "A Heart Full of Love" and "One Day More" all by my self on my facebook page... I think my Michael Ball impression is pretty accurate. ^_^
Oh my god...that was scary. The ending. I
This is pretty cool! Is it going to be all about the marauders? Also, I was a little confused by the explanation of what happened in 1981 in the prologue. Is there going to be more explanation, or can you clarify it for me?
Author's Response: Well, firstly, thank you for the review, Leah_Lovegood. I\'m glad to hear you\'re enjoying the story thus far. As for what happened in 1981, the prologue was meant to be a bit vague on the details, but I can promise that more information is forthcoming.
I\'d always envisioned the story like this: The prologue takes place in 1986, and then the story jumps back in time to 1978. It leads up from \'78 to the time of the prologue (\'86), which of course would mean that the story will contain detailed events over the events in 1981, and then continue *after* the time frame of the prologue (but at this point, ending around 1990).
Does that make it a bit clearer? I don\'t want to actually give all the details away before that point in the story, but I promise that details will come.
Thanks again for the review, though. I really appreciate it.

Thanks, that's great! This story looks like it's gonna be awesome!
Author's Response: You\'re quite welcome, and thanks again.

Lindsey Tonks appears to be a normal, almost invisible Hogwarts student, but underneath her is someone far from normal. What the world doesn't know is that Lindsey is the daughter of two well-known imprisoned Death Eaters, and has an identity she must hide from the world. Underneath Lindsey is a girl named Lyra Lestrange, a girl who is meant to be a secret forever. But will it last forever?
*Begins in GoF and follows the series through DH.
**Will appeal to fans of the Black family! Prominent characters are Bellatrix, Tonks, Andromeda, Sirius, and (to an extent) Narcissa.
Part Four Synopsis:
It's the summer after Albus Dumbledore's death, and the whole world is falling to Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Broken-hearted Lyra, unable to return to Hogwarts, must go into hiding with her family. It doesn't last long, and eventually Lyra is faced with a choice: join or die. Lyra's decision comes with many surprises, including a new ally who follows her to the final battle of good versus evil. While Lyra's path may seem clear, she finds herself torn between two sides for the final time, and in the end, despite tragedy and loss, Lyra accomplishes the impossible...which defies all of the agreements she and her family ever made.
Three years later, the fic has been completely finished! Enjoy reading it without having to wait for new chapters. Thanks to those who patiently waited and faithfully reviewed!
Oooooh. Interesting...Good lead-up for when the secrets come out!
Author's Response: Thank you! The next chapter is actually a major turning point where secrets come out! I'll submit it ASAP.
