Chasing Angelina by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
As a Chaser for the Harpies, Angelina Johnson is used to chasing goals, but when the team is sold and Blaise Zabini takes over management, she feels more like a Quaffle...and one that might not mind being handled.

I really enjoyed your story. I liked the way we learned slowly that Angelina’s feelings for Fred were not returned with the same degree of feeling that she had for him. I also liked the relationship between Blaise and his mother, as well as your portrayal as Blaise as more than just a walking ego. It’s always nice to see balanced Slytherin characters.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think Snape showed you don't have to be "nice" to be a decent human being, and people deserve second chances. I wish Angelina and Fred could have been a canon, happy-ever-after couple, but since it wasn't to be, I think Blaise is a much more mentally-healthy match than George!

I thought your characterization of Angela was well done. I like the fact that she is strong, yet realises that she could be stronger, and has the confidence of her teammates.
She comes across as likeable and appealing, but very real, as she deals with the fact that her feelings for Blaize, while hidden, are returned.
It's a very sweet story of one love lost and another one gained. The characters are also very appealing.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for liking my characterization of Angelina! I think that must be one of the hardest things to deal with after losing a love (requited or not), discovering that you can fall in love again.

Umm. . . Angelina, sorry about the typo
Author's Response: I knew who you meant! It's only stories that should be error free as possible. Reviewers should be lauded for providing feedback, not beta-d! We'll make a deal. Mutual overlooking of typos in reviews and replies. ;)
Fragmentary Blue by Hatusu
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary:
The whole world has gone crazy, tipped on its side, changes happening so quickly that Harry can’t keep track of them all. He isn’t at the centre of it anymore – he’s drifting peacefully somewhere on the very outer rim, and he likes it this way, and he never wants to go back.
He has a dream one night. Soft hands lift him out of his bed. He opens his eyes and their faces are like maps of a country he’s never been to but has always wanted to go. They say they’ll take him to a place where all he has to is breathe.
He says okay.
After Voldemort's defeat, Harry struggles to come to terms with love, death, and the end of innocence. One-shot. Rated for very, very mild sexual implications.

That was so much nicer than the epilogue!

To His Muse: A Wizarding Tale of a Desperate Housewife by mrsmcclnt, Viv
Rated: Professors •Summary: From Chapter 3 : Foolishness
Arthur sighed deeply. He released Molly then slowly rubbed his eyes. Without looking at her, he said: “You may not know this, but from the moment I met you, I knew I wanted to spend my life with you. I may not be the most handsome man with the brightest smile, or a rich lord who can give you the most beautiful gifts, but I would give my life for you if I had to. I love you, Molly, more than anything, more than anyone; but if it’s him you want, I guess there’s nothing I can do.” It started as a simple research for his new book and another opportunity to increase his fortune. Never would he have believed to fall in love on the way. She was so different from other women he knew, so true. He couldn’t just let her disappear from his life. He had to be with her. No matter what. A Gauntlet 6 submission For Slytherin House Team: Viv (Molly Weasley) & Mrsmcclnt (Gilderoy Lockhart)

You were right! Great story! The character's are spot on and it is fun to read! But the warning has me a bit worried ( these two getting . . . friendly A little yucky!)

Great Story! It doesn't feel like a Gauntlet at all and the two of you meshed so well that it sounded like one author.

Better Left Unsaid by Rhi for HP
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Late at night Lucius reflects on a successful party and what words of wisdom he might pass on to his son.
Date: 12/29/08 Title: Chapter 1: Better Left Unsaid
I thought this story was very well done and showed an interesting facet of Lucius’ personality. It was a nice slice of life of the privileged pure-blood set and I particularly liked how he took credit for the success of the party.
The only criticism I had for the story was the use of butlers and maids, since I think they would exclusively use house elves, or at least that form of magic wherein everything would appear and disappear automatically, but that’s just me.
Otherwise, I thought the title suited the story perfectly and Lucius’ musings were very effective. It was sort of sad that he decided against sharing this moment with Draco.
Author's Response: *huggles teh secret santa* Thanks so much for reviewing, Leah (especially this story-- oh so sad without any reviews)! I just put the butlers and maids in there 'cos I figured they only had Dobby but you're right, they probably had tons of house-elves. Meh. Thanks again... Slyths rule!
