I love this story! It is remarkably funny. Keep up the good work!

I am positively loving this! :D Really short comment this time around (I'll write more next cahpter, promise) but the responsible thing would have been to actually go to sleep an hour and a half ago, like I claimed I would, instead of reading 8 chapters ;)

Reaallyy looking forward to the next chapter, your writing is amazing - I'd say definitely pro! (and I read a lot)

I just absolutely love this story. You just make them so believable.

Can't wait to read more :)

I'm so glad you're still updating this story! I like all the characters - they seem so real and it's fun when they get into all these crazy situations. Sarah is brilliant, too! I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Wow. Oh, wow. I laughed so hard through that last section. I utterly sympathize with Jims. I'm the fourth of five, and my mother was so busy running a business from home and making sure everyone had underwear on, a minimum of dirt, and a lunch for school, she didn't always manage to keep track of who knew what. I learned about most of the lovely and not so lovely girlie things, including that once a month visit, from books. She occasionally mentions 'things' about my father that I in no way ever did or will want to know and I can't change the subject fast enough.

Funny note. The Pirates quote about guidelines was the second Pirates quote I've read in a HP today... Useless trivia.

has anyone ever told you you're fabulous? despite the fact that your updates are so far apart (i rather suspect that this has a bit to do with how wonderfully long the chapters are), this story's got me dangling on a hook, i squeal and hop in my seat every time i discover a new chapter. there's not a single other story on FanFic that has ever gotten that out of me.

The ending had me laughing for a good ten minutes ;3 I really enjoyed this chapter. Well done.

I love her step-mother. I was snickering the whole time I read that bit, it was just hilarious. Thanks for UPDATING!! I love this story. :D

love it! KEEP WRITING! i've been following this story for god knows how long, so you better stick with it! :D

Absolutely wonderful work. Jamie has to be one of, if not the best, female OC I have ever read.

I love your story - the characters, the plot and all the different watches that you describe :)

i'm loving it!! jeez, i can't get enough of your writing... -runs around in circles- must.. not... go.. into... withdrawl...

One of my favorite feelings is thinking "You know, that fic I read a few years ago was really impressive. Wonder how it holds up..." and then finding that not only is it still amazing, there's a dozen more chapters. I mean, wow. You've taken this "Anti-Sue" idea and charged headlong into who-knows-where with it. I absolutely love this story--its laugh-to-page ratio is astonishingly high, all the characters are wonderfully developed, and I have a terrible weakness for fics that flesh out the Harry Potter universe in a manner as wonderful as this.

Also, the mental image I got from (to name just one example) Umbridge walking into the back of Fortescue's to be greeted by "Oh! Ma'am Ummridff! Gef'fork, there's pie." was priceless. You win at life.

I must confess that, having read your profile, I can quite easily identify the Mary-Sues-Who-Don't-Know-It (it's obviously the Redferns), but I don't have a clue who the Actual Mary-Sue is. (Wild guess: Mrs. Miniver. Where is she, anyway? Don't remember seeing her in the past few chapters.) In all honesty, I tend to associate "Mary-Sue" with Bad Writing rather than any specific type of OC, so perhaps that has something to do with it. Consider it a vote of confidence, that you write so well that you can disguise a Mary-Sue.

In short, keep up the good work! I'll be keeping an eye on this one, that's for sure.

AH!
Your story has a very different take..
And I really wonder how it will continue and end..
So interesting..
Though, it does get a bit long-winded..
But it's still good and interesting..
I mean, I wanna know how you came up with the ideas!!
And of course how you can type in that first party and second party thing!!
So cool!!
Haha..
I wanna see her kick some butt!!
Anyway,
Please please keep writing!!
And try to update soon?
Please?
*Puppy eyes*
I mean i know writers have a life outside writing beloved stories to us starved for good stories readers.. And you guys don't get paid too..
But please keep giving us your works!!
Haha..
I didn't realise I could review without needing an account..
Haha..
Great story!!
Haha...

Huzzah! Yet another wonderful chapter! This fic continues to be one of my favourite fics in HP fandom.
