Bands by Mynuet    (Reviews - 101)

Rock bands at Hogwarts! Blossoming romance! And you would not believe what can be done with an oboe. A total guilty pleasure fic that is nowhere near complete.

Friends in Low Places by Nola Ryan    (Reviews - 22)

Ginny Weasley is not the only one affected by the destruction of The Chamber of Secrets and Tom Riddle's diary. But out of the painful fallout of those events an unlikely connection is made. This connection -- dare they call it a friendship? -- will dramatically alter the lives of Ginny and Draco Malfoy. They'll learn the hard way, though, that changing your path in life leads to challenges that even the strongest bonds may not survive.

Sorry if this is ambiguous, but if I remember correctly, this site doesn't list reviews by chappie. I'd hate to spoil the fun for anyone who hasn't gotten this far yet.

Sorry - you can delete this one, but to clarify, my "intro" comment was for your way of bringing D/G into the present.

Author's Response: Lol, nahh, I\'ll keep it. Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I really like the way this chapter turned out layout-wise, like, the way it flowed even though it\'s kind of choppy and jumpy. Thanks for the comment!

Reviewer: Bitter_thymes Signed
Date: Apr 28, 2007 Title: Chapter 28: A...Slight Complication

I adore the story! I'm having trouble believing that Ginny would habitually run the same route and not bring her wand - especially after facing off with Pansy. Could she have been lulled into the routine? Surely, but she was perceptive enough to pick up on Nott.

Maybe I missed a psychological plot point that would explain it.

Well crafted! Anxious to see the past details flesh out.

Only correction in the writing I saw so far was in the second paragraph, 7th sentence - should be "lose" rather than "loose."

Author's Response: Thanks for the compliment and the correction. I am currently looking for a beta reader so it is helpful when people point out some of the errors I may have missed. ~Kenzie

I'll Wait for You in Eden's Gates by taleweaver    (Reviews - 76)

This is the story that was never told. Buried for centuries beneath the sands of time, the lives of the bravest knight of England and the fiery daughter of an Irish lord were erased from the pages of history. Finally their tale, the shared immortal promise of a love so enduring that it could break the boundaries of time, can finally be told. This is their story.

Her Eyes Hold Her Secrets by Caroline    (Reviews - 11)

You have been watching her for some time now. She doesn’t eat anymore. She hides it well behind her robes. Even though you can’t see it, you know she must be getting thinner, and it frustrates you that the people who are closest to her don’t even notice.

Well done for your first story; Enjoyed the dynamic between them.

I'd only watch using the exclamation point so much; your writing conveys the drama well enough on its own.

Redeeming the Dragon by thelovinspoonful    (Reviews - 349)

"Perhaps it really didn't matter what he was, perhaps it just mattered that he was." Unexpected events lead to unexpected relationships. Can one person be so important to the destruction of Voldemort? Nothing happens by chance, but sometimes, life might be simpler if it did.

Redemption by search4inspiration    (Reviews - 43)

How would things be different if Draco had accepted Dumbledore's mercy at the end of book six? Follow the canon characters as they are forced into company with Draco and struggle to survive in a warring wizarding world. And yes, there will be romance.

I enjoyed this one. Thanks!

My only plot concern is I *think* someone is still conscious under Petrificus Totalus; the body is frozen, the but party could still remember events while in that state. Though I don't remember seeing it specifically addressed in canon.

Feel free to edit this review if it's a spoiler. Just wanted to mention it.

Author's Response: I believe you\'re right about the effects of Petrificus Totalus... have I written it differently into my story? I\'ll have to go back and check...
