I love it is fantastic keep it up! :p ;)

this is a great story. u really captured harry's thoughts. ru adding sirius in the book? or is he dead? (not to bring up sad memories by aking this but just wodering)

Very nice! Keep up the good work!

Well. Well, well, well. Sorry, words fail me - I need to warm up a bit. Simply put, this is one of the best fanfics I've ever read. It's practically perfect in every way - what a joy to read! Brilliantly written, seamlessly flowing; no grammar discrepancies, no jarring sentence shifts, why, not even a dangling modifier in sight! You have kept to canon beautifully; the characters are bang on and their dialogue so authentic that at times I forget I am not reading the newest Rowling offering. Your plot pacing is nothing if not superb, and your detailed descriptions, both of scenery as well as character thought, are thorough without dronong on and are absolutely superior to anything I've yet read.

I have attempted to read fics before that focus on characters other than Snape, but I have never made it all the way through to the latest chapter. Your story has changed all that. Yours is professionally written, and kept me in exquisite vapors of anticipation about what would happen next. Please, please, continue writing this. It is an absolute pleasure to read.

Right, see that reality lets you out to write the next bit. I can't wait!

Aw, I want to know what it was Colin was saying about ginny and what it was that Harry said to defend her! Puhlease!

Again, you've really tapped into the lives and confusions of typical teens. Harry's befuddlement with Ginny is adorable, and you've also intertwined the happenings of Book 5 quite well. I'm curious about Snape's new gentleness with Neville, the mysterious conversation in the empty room, and where the heck all this is going...

A very enjoyable, nicely written, chapter.

Well, I guess we know Harry's intention's toward Ginny now. :) This was a wonderful chapter. Very well written. Your dialogue is marvelous and very in character. I like the idea of Neville checking Snape's mood at breakfast. Very smart. I'm not sure why Snape is handling Neville with more civility, though. Hopefully we'll find out. And who was watching Harry from across the room? Hm. Very nice. I'll be watching for the next one. :)

I like it! Its a bit confusing at times though, try to make it more clear!

I LOVE your style of writing! As everyone so far seems to have said, you have the dialogue between the three spot on, and their interactions seem like a natural progression from how they are now (i.e. as JKR writes them in the books). Ron is SO adorable! I have to admit I've used the palm-like trick once or twice myself, and it's that much more satisfying when it's someone you like and they react like Ron did isn't it? ;) There really isn't much I can say, I'm really taken with the story, and I couldn't make any suggestions for improvements if I sat here for years! I really like the way you don't give all the details of what's happened (like not saying exactly what Colin was saying about Ginny and what Harry said back, and not actually making Ron say that Hermione licked him), it makes it seem like you're really there, a witness to it all - the characters aren’t ‘conveniently filling you in’ in thoughts and speech on all the details you’ve missed - and yet it's obvious exactly what has happened, and it's all the more intriguing when you're left with a little bit of detail to wonder about. The description of the quill being blown about the common room really struck me. It wasn't strictly necessary for the story, and yet it didn't seem excessive or contrived. I sometimes feel that writers put in descriptions just because they have been told/feel that it makes a story better, and if they do it just for the sake of describing something it can seem so out of place. Yours was just right, a beautiful image that set the tone of the scene and led you into seeing Harry. It's such a joy to have something detailed so that you can see exactly what's happening without feeling like it's actually been described to you; it was like a good piece of film. The image of an uncommonly graceful house elf sweeping with a quill is as lovely as the thought of what would happen were the house elf not quite so graceful is funny (can you imagine Dobby wearing all his hats, scarves and socks, tripping over his own broom/quill and ending up in a heap on the floor, broken quill by his side and a bemused look on his face? That just made me laugh when compared to the image you portrayed!). I’d really like to see more of this; I can’t wait to see how Ginny reacts to Harry’s... Sir Lancelot-like impulses! I’m also eagerly awaiting the development of Ron and Hermione’s relationship – there are quite a lot of things going on, and yet (if I’m not missing something) they have that all-important step still to make! Really good writing, hope we’ll see more soon!

You do dialogue very well. It all sounds very natural. Now I'm really intrigued with the conversation behind the locked door, and you still didn't tell us what Harry's intentions are towards Ginny? Of course, it sounds as if he's not sure either. :)

Very good story very good. I'm quite excited to know what's going on.

You've got a real ear for teenage dialogue - I teach middle school and your conversations ring 'true.' Lovely description of the dancing quill, and the interplay between the three friends is humorous and vigorous at the same time. They *are* growing up, aren't they?

This is great! Your portrayals of the characters are excellent! I like your style, very descriptive and humorous. I am very interested to see where this goes!

Pan.

ps: I agree with you. George Harrison is most definitly a wizard!

enjoyed the story ...excellent portrayal of hermione!
