![]() ![]() ![]() Hey thanks for writing this! I'm binging your Harry Potter fic, and some part of myempry vaguely remembers reading it before but it all feels fresh and new to me. This chapter I love Luna the most. I forget that this is the year they met Luna - three traumatized students wandering around with an equally dubiously sane Luna who hangs out with them for no clear reason and I love it. Great excerpt: "You think a teacher would try to kill you?" "It's happened before," Hermione admitted. "Twice," Harry said. "Only once for me," Hermione added, "and that was an accident." "I only had a teacher try to wipe my memories," Ron commented. Amalie stared at them in shock before turning to Luna. "Not yet," she stated happily. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I don't have a problem with guns, although I don't own one I've been to a shooting range a couple times and it was awesome, I have a problem with stupid gun owners. The ones that "plays" with their gun, pull them out for no reason, the obnoxious bunch that makes owning guns part of their personality, the idiots that decide to show them off while they're drunk or just to "look tough" or the careless idiots that just don't seems to realize that they are dangerous. I understand that responsible gun owners hate those people as much as people who don't like or own guns, but pretending there's no problem doesn't help either. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Not a review on your work so much as a comment on your notes at the end of the story. You say that you are an old fogey of a fan fiction writer your not even one in the Harry Potter fandom. Your teacher in 5th or 6th would have only been able to recommend The Harry Potter Series sometime after book 2 was published in 1998 British date or 1999 American date. For you to be in 5th or 6th grade you would have been between 10 and 11 years old (unless you were held back or skipped a grade or more) so you are under 40 years old. There are fanfiction writers who started writing Harry Potter after reading it to their Grand kids or even great grand kids, they are in their 70's-90's. Also outside of Harry Potter there has been fanfiction on other fandoms for generations. Between self publishers that traded hand written or typewriter typed stories with other writers during events like ComicCon and the fanzines that were limited edition published by early generation copy machines or even old school mimeograph machines in the 1960's-1980's that was written by writers who were your age back then or even older. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I’m in a cult. Oh wait. Never mind. It’s just a big ole nosy southern family. Apparently if you miss three texts in 5 minutes and a phone call then it obviously means you’re dying or in an emergency situation that requires someone to burst into your home and asking why you haven’t answered your phone. The one time I used the excuse that I was in the bathroom and didn’t want anything to happen to my phone, I was told to put the phone on the counter away from anything with water but take it anyway. Weirdos. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Imagine if you can, entering a home's basement apartment, for the unresponsive. Ask Mom if she knows what her son uses? She is insist that her son doesn't use drugs. "Mame, there is a needle sticking out of his arm." |
![]() ![]() ![]() Why not fire bombs from brooms flying over ? The four of them plus the Griffindor Quidditch team (and other members of their house or other houses) flying in formation to carpet bomb the area of the nest on a early Sunday morning. |
![]() ![]() ![]() It's spelled Wales not Whales. How are you enjoying the experience of drunk drivers or rehab transports at 3am ? |

![]() ![]() ![]() Just rediscovered this story after a long hiatus. Or maybe you took a break and I lost track. Brilliant. Read 30 chapters, most in the same day. Enjoying it a lot. I do hope all your problems with your hips got fixed. I’m concerned for your liver. Also, you’re too young to be my uncle without time travel. Take care! |
