Lady Knight Keladry 2008-01-11 ch 8,	abusethat story was so sweet and really great. i love abby as a character, she has a lot of depth and can be related to. sirius was a charmer. i love your story, and the epilogue was pretty funny.
Chios 2007-04-19 ch 8,	abuseThis story is inspiring. It is so well written, which is a rarity here on fanfiction. Thankyou for writing such a wonderful story! Wonderfully touching and sincere. xox
Ande Lawerence 2007-03-10 ch 8,	abusei read this story some time ago on the Sugar Quill and I never reviewed. It is by far, one of my all time favorite stories. Its an old favorite that I can always come back to! I love Abby and I love your characterization of Sirius!
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 8,	abuseI had wondered if you were going to hit upon the "woof" as one of those terribly convenient coincidences and I am glad you found it in time to incorportate it into you story. On the grand scale, I really liked this story. It was perfectly "British" and everyone stayed in character. There was a great inclusion of Potterisms (spells, words, names for things) that I really enjoyed, and usually made me giggle. I also really liked Abby. She was a brilliant character with a brilliant power and she fit in perfectly. I love what you did with her and how you made her a part of the tale. The only slightly annoying thing about this story was that I couldn't say things like "you wove in the details comepletely seamlessly", something I say when the story merits it, without feeling like a total dork. :) Well done!
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 7,	abuseI love the idea of "string magic". I first came across it in Tamora Pierce's books, but you have incorporated it seamlessly (dammit! I am sorry. I use that word all the time, I promise!) into the Harry Potter world. I love the imagery that comes with it (the thoughts knotted themselves together...), and you've done that perfectly too. Must find out what happens next!
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 6,	abuseI think I've finally hit on what makes this story so good. You get the Britishisms. They feel like a natural part of the story. It shows up particularly in your descriptions of France and way back in that exchange of insults between Abby and Sirius ("shopgirl"). It's awesome and wonderful and something that you've either worked hard at or been born to. Again, the conversation with Dumbledore was perfect. He's so brilliant and such a character that I am quite impressed by how well you've reproduced him. I love how everything about this is coming together. It's beautiful, and I can't wait for the rest.
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 5,	abuseDumbledore can make me so sad, sometimes, and you have captured that about him perfectly. How he can have entire conversations without saying anything at all and how...acceptingly disappointed he is about everything sometimes. Again, I absolutely love your descriptions of the cloak and its history. It blows my mind. Everything about this is so good.
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 4,	abuseexcellent I loved so many things about this chapter. You've written Sirius quite well and I love how Abby's chief worry was the bath. I also really enjoyed your take on Snape. In addition to the practical nature of his visit (tying us into the events of GoF), he was completely believable in bearing and dialogue. I especially loved Abby's little prank, even if the rose bushes may not have. :) This continues to be awesome.
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 3,	abuseOh! I meant to tell you that the idea of Dumbledore hosting a limbo party over Christmas Tea dissolved me into giggles. Because it's quite random and quite something I can imagine him doing and now I am wondering if Flitwick won. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I really do love how you're putting Abby into everyone else's lives. The bits with Ginny were fantastic and the Malfoys were appropriately creepy and promising of more to come. You do do a good cliffhanger!
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 2,	abuseFabulous! I love how you've stuck Abby into The History. I also really like the history you're creating about the Cloaks, particularly the description of how she can see them. I loved the way she knew by footprints who was who...for some reason the Lupin one gave me chills. I totally snickered for that crack about Rita Skeeter. Well done. Now: must run off and find out WHAT HAPPENED! :)
Grav 2007-03-07 ch 1,	abuseI feel I should preface this by pointing out that I don't read HP fic because the fandom scares me. However, I am currently laid out flat with a back spasm and this came highly recommended and I am really enjoying it. I kept coming up with all these things to say during the first chapter, and I think I am going to have to settle with "awesome". Your insight into everything about the world and the microcosm of Hogsmeade is amazing. You've thrown in things like the Pinprick Hex and the Loo Lingering Liquid and they just seem to belong there. It's fantastic. You also have a good understanding of "pub culture", which I totally did not until I came to England. I am really liking Abby. What a brilliant idea. I love the background and history and danger you've woven (sorry...I use that word all the time anyway!) about her and I can't wait to see what comes next. In regards to "Snuffles"...I think I may have something in my eye...:) I can't wait to see what happens in chapter two!
Butterfly Cobra 2007-01-25 ch 8,	abuseWow I just found this series a few days ago, and have since searched all over the internet to find every story there was involving Abby Loomis. I simply adore the character and the story you have created. I love the way you portray Sirius, and the interactions between the two. You have done an amazing job with your stories.
Redone 2006-08-14 ch 8,	abuseAn excellent story! And the best epilogue I've ever seen, quite at par with the epilogues of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. :)
GoodnessKnows 2005-12-17 ch 8,	abuseI'll start out with this first - I just loved this fic! You did a great job with it, and it was definatley one of the better ones of read. Abby is a complex and sympathetic character, despite being an OC - I'm really impressed you were able to resist making her a Mary Sue. The only problem I encountered with the story was that some scenes were confusing. Not with the main plot, but with specific actions. The example that sticks out in my mind the clearest is the question of how Abby felt Lucius's hand, though I remember that there were a few other scenes like this as well. I would only suggest that you be more graphic with descriptions if a character is going to comment on it. Trust me - I'll be reading any and all sequels! - Muggle At Heart
Bonnie Black 2005-11-21 ch 8,	abuseOMG! I have searched for this fic forever! I read this one tiem before I had an acount on fanfiction and I've been meaning to find it again to add it to my favorite stories list! Thank God I've finally found it! I love this story. It was well worth rereading. Great Job.
