Hi! Long time, no see. It's great to be reading this again. I missed it! Unfortunately, I get the funny feeling the story is almost over. That's not true, right?

IT LIVES!

Every time I think this fic is dead is resurrects itself and comes shambling out of the grave like a zombie... and I mean that in a good way. ;D

In all seriousness, this is a great story and I'm thrilled to see it's still being updated. The Canon shift part was really beautiful in an understated kind of way and the snark was brilliant.

I'd say I can't wait for the next one, but you know...

Hurrah, the fic lives!

Loved the snark about Neville and his last-minute character development. Lovely chapter as always. :D

how did the luggage get to the potterverse? or did it come with rincewind?
C:

'rincewind was here'? was this a result of some strange crossover experiment?
please update
:D

Whilst I like the story so far, there seems to be something wrong with the formatting.

Simply put, all of the quotation marks have completely disappeared. It's making it very hard to read the story; which is a shame, because so far it's proved an interesting read (I've read HFA Year One already). I wonder if there's an errant plothole wandering around somewhere with an eye for punctuation marks...

Come to that, what kind of rain would a *lack* of appropriate punctuation cause, I wonder...?

So... pretty awesome sequel so far. You ever plan on updating it? Please do. What I love about this story is that it makes absolutely no sense, yet at the same time, it makes perfect sense.

Ooh, wow. I hope you eventually get a chance to update this. It seems to be going well. I noticed that the formatting in some of the earlier chapters is a bit screwed up--quote marks disappeared, and so on.

Hello, Miss Brin. Yes, I'm the one who recently found OFUM, then HFA and am now bowing at the feet of yourself and Miss Cam.

I realise that it is probably a bit late now to be applying, but if you can find it in your heart to accept a highly enthusiastic (bordering on the point of desperate) young fan (ok, I'm 19) either for later on in year two or in your third year- should you choose to write it- I would appreciate it more than I can say.

Apologies, but I can't find an email for you, so I'm applying here.

Name: Ayla Hermione

Lineage/Species: Witch

Species: Human

Specify Bloodline: Muggle-born

Wand Measurements: 14 and a half inches, Hazel, Phoenix feather (and yes, it's my birth month tree)

Luxury Item (please fill in at own risk): My set of LOTR and Harry Potter books.

Reasons why you write fanfiction: I am currently writing my first fanfiction. It carries on from the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, following little Albus Severus in his time at Hogwarts. Basically, I don't want the story to end.

Really? Yes, really.

Last Chance to revoke the ‘I luv Drayco’ statement for all future Lusterbuffs: Not in a million years. I DON'T "luv" him. Never have, never will.

Draco-lovers? Absolutely not.

Canon- The true storyline of Harry Potter, otherwise known as “the books”; The laws of Potterverse set down by J. K. Rowling. (aka Holy Writ)
*
I know Canon: Definitely. Although as I haven't be able to read them for a while, I might need to refer back to them when writing.

I have read the books: Too many times to count.

I feel that the movies: are an insult to the writings of J.K. Rowling. They ruined my personal ideas about the characters' appearances. Especially Harry. Therefore, please exclude me categorically from Canonlaw.

I have written an original character story: Yes, but not Harry Potter. It was LOTR, and I haven't finished that one either.

It was a self-insert: no, it wasn't.

It was a Mary-Sue/people told me it was a Mary-Sue: No, although I was warned that she might head that way if I wasn't careful.

If above answer was "yes", I regret writing Sues: If she becomes one, then yes in advance.

I’ll never do that again: I promise.

I have written slash: yuck. Anyone who writes this should be mini-Aragogged, dropped into Oedipus Inferno, beaten up by the Whomping Willow and then suffer the 24 Hours of Barney and Britney Spears as suggested by Tom Riddle. Therefore, please exclude me categorically from Slashering.

I have written Potterverse slash: see previous reply.

My stories tend to be/ the stories that I prefer are: I don't really know. A well-written parody is always nice, but I can't write it. I like adventure and finding things out.

My preferred ‘ships are: the Canon ones. Anyone who even tries to split James/Lily, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione etc. etc. up should suffer the same fate as a slash writer. However, I'd like to see how the next generation work out (Teddy Lupin/Victoire Weasley seems fairly established, but I'm curious about the Potter/Weasley kids).

I have written Potterverse crossovers: No. Stupid idea. Unless it's plausible. And they never are.

I have a fear of: spiders (although I'd like to get to know the mini-Aragogs better), Dementors, pain, and probably (if I came face to face with him) er...Lord Voldemort.


Danger Evaluation to HFA

I like certain Canon Characters: yes.

Namely: If you mean as in “I’d like to make friends” then: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Lily, Remus, Ginny, Tonks, the Marauders, the Weasleys...actually, just about anyone who was anti-Voldemort.

I admire certain Canon Characters: yes, I do. That doesn't mean I actally like them.

Namely: As in “I think you’re a hero”: Lily, Snape, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, any anti-Voldemorts who died.

I lust after certain Canon Characters: No. I respect their relationships (or lack thereof). I am not a luster. Therefore, please exclude me categorically from Lusterbuff.

Namely: See previous reply.

I love certain Canon Characters with a fierce passion: In a sense of admiring them and having much hero-worship, yes. In any other way, absolutely not.

Namely: The Heroes (Harry, Ron and Hermione), the Weasley twins, the Marauders. Anyone with the guts to cause that much trouble, really. Oh, and Neville. We never hear enough about him, and he had the guts to keep the DA going under the noses of Death Eaters and put graffiti all over Hogwarts!

I would die for certain Canon Characters: Um...that would probably depend on the situation I was in.

Namely: Well, that would probably depend on who I was in the situation with.

I want a certain Canon Character for illegal purposes: Learning magic, maybe. If anyone thinks I'd want them for anything else, they should be given the same kind of treatment as a slash writer.

If so, which one? Illegal magic: See characters I like.

Overall, I would say that my lust-object is: non-existent.

I attended HFA last year: No, but I really wish I had.

Affiliations (choose one or more):
Lusters United - Nope. Stupid girls.
The Fellowship of the Peeves - No, but I'll enjoy watching.
Sevvie’s Angels - NO!

Slash Crusaders- Never. Never. Never. If I end up joining them, I deserve the
PPC Supporter – Absolutely! Do you think they'll accept my application?

I agree that all injuries are self-inflicted. I agree not to sue HFA because my pain is my problem. All injuries are most likely a product of my own lack of judgment anyway.

I, [Which name do I put down as my signature? What the hell, I'll use both] Cassie/ Ayla Hermione, agree to all these terms and certify that these answers are truthful to the best of my knowledge.

Puppy... run... over... by... own... moving... van?

(twitch twitch)

I'm gonna go cry in horror...

I'm just wondering, but are you going to put the "Dumbledore is gay" thing in the next chapter or wait a while like in the real world?

*muttering to self* I will not shamelessly beg for an update I will not shameless beg for an update.. *takes deep breath*

Love it! I found this and its predecessor and read them both in one very long sitting.. *hugs fics* I love it!

I especially love the multiple number of Voldemorts wandering around.. And (in the first HFA) when James was turned gay - that made me laugh. Lots. XD

And I can't wait for all the DH stuff.. Just one small request. Some Ron/Hermione? Please? After all, it *is* canon according to DH.. *smiles winningly*

Any chance of an update in the near future? Please?

Okay, now my jaw hurts from smiling too much.

Okay, let me just say.. Love, love, love your story (to the point where I'll still keep reading even if you don't put me in HFA ;)

Last Chance to revoke the ‘I luv Drayco’ statement for all future Lusterbuffs: I revoke this statement

Draco-lovers? : Not even close

Canon- The true storyline of Harry Potter, otherwise known as “the books”; The laws of Potterverse set down by J. K. Rowling.

I know Canon: completely

I have read the books: More times then I can count

I feel that the movies: Are good in their own right but should not be watched by people who need everything to be the same as the books.

I have written an original character story: Does dreaming about HP count?

It was a self-insert: Depended on the dream :oP

It was a Mary-Sue/people told me it was a Mary-Sue: I'd be a little freaked out if someone told me it was a MS since I don't tend to talk about my dreams..

If above answer was "yes", I regret writing Sues: -

I’ll never do that again: -

I have written slash: Not huge into slash, with the exception of reading the occasional ** as Folk fanfiction..

I have written Potterverse slash: No - And I'm exceptionally against the slash pairings of DM/HP, SS/HP and GW/FW.. twincest

My stories tend to be/ the stories that I prefer are: Humor/Romance/Parody.

My preferred ‘ships are: HG/RW, HP/GW, LE/JP, LL/NL and NT/RL

Danger Evaluation to HFA

I like certain Canon Characters: Definitely

I admire certain Canon Characters: Yes

Namely: Dumbledore - even more now, Snape, Fred & George, Remus, James and Lily

I lust after certain Canon Characters: perhaps

Namely: Fred & George (especially George) - They just rock.

I love certain Canon Characters with a fierce passion: Yes

Namely: the Weasleys.. I love every family member for a different reason (but not in a glomp kind of way)

I would die for certain Canon Characters: Well, if they were real and one of them was about to get hit by a bus, I might try to drag them out of the way.. Does that count?

Namely: Any of them.. Seeing as if they were real, I'd have no clue who they are - It's just something I would try to do if anyone was about to get smushed

I want a certain Canon Character for illegal purposes: Hmm.. No - But it would be cool to go into business with Fred & George, maybe corner the muggle market on joke stuff that could be brought over?

If so, which one? : F&G

Overall, I would say that my lust-object is: George

I attended HFA last year: No - Wish I had tho

It was a Mary-Sue/people told me it was a Mary-Sue: No, it wasn’t.

FIVE Voldemorts?!
Very good, by the way...one of my pet peeves is bad grammar. Although I haven't actually written anything that HFA might approve of as yet, I've been trying as hard as possible to make my characters as un-sueish as possible...
Would love to be in the story, should I email you with the enrollment form?
