Oooh! An alternate book 6 fanfic now? What a treat!
Author's Response: Yes, an alternate book 6. I refuse to believe that Dumbledore died, the old coot. Furthermore, I don\'t believe Severus is so foolish as to have made that silly oath! I\'m not certain that the horcruxes will even show up in this AU...

You did a lovely job with an idea that is very near and dear to my heart, mate. Thank you.
Author's Response: Hey, thanks for the review. I\'m glad you enjoyed it...I had hoped I would manage to pull off such a serious theme and not make it inappropriately light or gratuitously angsty. It\'s a tough matter to write about, so I\'m really happy that you think I did well. :)

Title: Chapter 1: Eclipse
Brittany, I really liked this poem. I really liked it a lot.
The things that made me like it a lot were probably the loud emotions, the deep meanings, and the repition. Even though it is a free verse poem, it seems almost structured because of the strong movement of the poetry.
You can really grasp Narcissa's torment. She want to scream and cry and fight because of the unfair task her son has been given- a task that frightens her- but she can't. She simply can't.
My only complaint might seem slightly contradictory, but I've got to say it. It seemed, with all of it's feeling, almost melodramatic. While there's nothing wrong with a good melodrama now and then, too much of a good thing can get wearing.
:D Great poem!
-Stubby
Author's Response: *shock* I didn\'t even see this until now. I am so happy that you found so many positive things about it, everyone seems to love this poem. I won\'t question it, because that pleases me =p I like having happy readers. I\'m so glad you understand what I was trying to do with this poem! Such a lovely review. =D
Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: It’s coming, believe it or not. The Ministry doesn’t believe it, but who will then? It’s infuriating to know you’re invisible to society, but then there’s something exhilarating, entrancing about it. It’s dancing the devilish dance: provocative, teasing- leaving the viewers wanting more, or better yet, it’s like having an addiction.
An addiction with a purpose to be more precise… oh, and the occasional bite. Who are we then? We’re the out casted of the outcasts within a secluded society that further alienates us and leaves us utterly alone, but we’ve finally found each other so we’re not as alone. Things can change in an instance, though, and they already have. I have to confess: I’m scared, but I’ve already started to dance so I must keep dancing.
And besides, I don’t want the vampire or werewolf communities seizing control of the Ministry because I’ve already seen what they’ve done.

I think I know where the uprising in vampire/werewolf fics is coming from- not that I object. I like this Dante dude.
Author's Response: It\'s definitely not coming from Twilight if that\'s what you mean; rather it\'s coming from my own imagination and Anne Rice and Bram Stoker and the movie Van Helsing. And thank you on your compliment on Dante.

Ooh, another one of my favourite 'Harry is going to die' fics!
I liked the interesting take on the famous (or infamous) Veil of the DoM. You get to see it from an insider's point of view as he walks to his death.
My particular favourite stanzas were the second and the second to last. You give excellent, moving descriptions there.
For critique, I'd only say that you were a tad melodramatic, perhaps. There is good emotion, but dare I say too much? I don't know. Something didn't click with me.
Good poem, though. I can't wait to see more poetry from you!

Summary: Three years have passed since Voldemort fell, but nothing is as it should be. The Order is struggling against a group of dark wizards with an unknown agenda, and no one has seen nor heard from Harry since the battle. Many believe him to be dead, and the Order fears that he has been taken captive. Meanwhile, this new uprising of dark magic poses a greater threat to the wizarding world than the Order could ever imagine...

Wow... again, an awesome chapter. I'm really liking this fic. Harry's mad behaviour seems to be not only his own feelings, but maybe something of Voldemort? I dunno. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m glad you\'re liking it. Yes, Harry\'s behaviour is a bit strange... Whether it is his own, though, or it is Voldemort\'s doing, you will, naturally, find out later. I love it, though, when people offer their own conclusions and views - it\'s great! Thanks for reviewing!

Summary: With McGonagall firmly entrenched as Hogwarts’ new headmistress, Harry is enticed to return for his seventh year under unique conditions. Aided by Ron and Hermione, he embarks upon a Horcrux search-and-destroy mission using the school as the base of operations. Recognizing that saving the wizarding world from the ultimate evil is a rather daunting task for a seventeen-year old wizard, the Order of the Phoenix steps in to assist Harry on his journey. It soon becomes clear, however, that not everyone has the same lesson plan in mind for our hero. As the headmistress attempts to lay a clever trap to reveal hidden agendas, Voldemort waits in ambush at the one site that Harry is sure to visit.
But before Harry can face his nemesis, he must face down the inner demons that plague his own life and truly grow into adulthood. His activities are punctuated with school pranks, Quidditch, parties, and the requisite amount of rule-breaking that readers have come to expect from the trio.

Summary: As a seventh year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hermione Granger has a lot on her mind. There’s NEWT’s to pass, a war to win and a best friend to keep from mortal peril... not to mention a small infatuation with a certain red-head to keep secret.
However, when mysterious messages of affection start to appear, Hermione will discover she has much more to survive than a Dark Lord bent on world domination. As the letters become more intense, Hermione’s bafflement begins to give way to fear and she realises that somebody is stalking her through the halls of Hogwarts.
Now, Hermione finds herself in a terrifying race against the unknown; unmask her admirer, or discover exactly what happens when obsession turns deadly...
... For this is a lethal game of obsession and possession - and there can only be one winner.

Summary: I always felt there was a chapter missing from Deathly Hallows between the final chapter and the Epilogue. I needed a chance to wind down from all of the action, mourn the dead, and tie up some loose ends before being thrown 19 years into the future. This is my version of that missing chapter. Hope you enjoy it!

Summary: They are insane.
They are both in St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I believe Neville visits them, with his grandmother, during the holidays.
They do not recognise him.
Frank and Alice Longbottom suffered a terrible fate. It is not one to wish on even your worst enemy. Maybe their fate was written in the stars, and maybe it wasn’t. But, before it happened, pre-set or not, they had a life. They shared a story together. You know how it ends. Do you know how it goes?
Poor devils. Better dead than what happened to them.

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: It's been twelve years since the Wizarding world saw Harry Potter after he mysteriously disappeared into the Forbidden Forest during the Final Battle in 1998. Now Lord Voldemort has conquered, extending his reach not just over Britain, but France, Germany, and Spain as well.
Meanwhile, hidden deep within the Canadian Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, a terrifying secret is brewing at the magic school that McGonagall herself founded just after the
second battle for Hogwarts. It is at this school where Muggle-born Leah Andrews and her best friends, Gwen and Cory, will find themselves thrown into the search for the truth: What is a dead snake doing hung from a tree like a sacrificial lamb? Who really is the new DADA professor with the strange colour-changing eyes and bad mood swings? And just
what does a gentle half-giant gamekeeper have to do with any of this?
One thing is for certain - all is definitely not well.
This is the sequel to
Alternate Ending. I strongly recommend you read that one first, although I don't think it's necessary.
Excerpt from the Epilogue:
As he sidestepped them, he glanced down again at the wrinkled slip of parchment Charlie had handed him two days earlier with nothing more than a quiet word that there may still be one last loose end to tie.
