OK, so I've got the bit about Hallows and Horcruxes, and there seems to be something about Krum. Does "the wolf's darling kit" refer to Hermione?
Moving on, glad Ron's finally getting his head together re: Hermione - hope he will be telling her that soon, not just staying with Lavender because it's easy!
Please don't leave such a big gap next time (I know you are busy, but I just love this fic so much!). Thanks for a great new chapter.

Ah, but Ron's a boy, dear. They do stupid things because they're easy.

How can Harry be so trusting? And Meghan too. So who's the untrustworthy one? Nott or Dursley? Putting my money on Dursley. Hey, but then it could be the two of them. The prophecy was too long for me to make any immediate sense of it. But Meghan was supposed to save someone, there's something about hallowed objects so I gather the three hallows will be featured, cloak, stone and wand? Will look at it more carefully later.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Harry is trusting because he's learned to follow his nose, and Meghan because she's twelve and just went through a shocking experience. Yes, the Hallows will show up, but I don't think they'll be used quite as anyone expects.

"Oh Dastardly Slytherin Plots! this chapter made me tear up...It just reminds me that I missed a few chapters and have a great time doing it.

You... er... had a great time missing a few chapters?

Welcome back!
Okay, so the third wand is the "Elder Wand", because of the reference to the "cloak" and "stone" (which are now where?). I can see the Horcruxes mentioned too...
The "curse" on "best-loved gift" - does this refer to Draco? (as Harry's brother)
hmmm...
Oh, and what _was_ Snape up to? Legilimency showing Meghan his own childhod?
Okay, I'm moderately stumped!
More mysteries for us - I look forward to seeing how you play all this out!
Anne B. Walsh replied:
No, you're not. Moderately stumped, that is--not if your review is anything to go by!

At long last, we've missed you!
/me scampers away to start figuring out prophecy ;-)
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Good luck with that.

Loved it. Really did. And 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas', if you please :). And Amanda is turning out quite devious :D (I like it, though I'd still like it more if you kept Luna in the end as Draco's girlfriend. Oh, and don't leave him in his misery too long :P He's just a man, they can't handle much ;))

Whew 2 weeks, very little sleep later, and I am in love with your world ^_^ I've actually started to talk about "Danger Verse" more than I have " Harry Potter" XD I LOVE it. Absolutely enthralled. I await the next chapter with bated breath! And I like Deck The Halls the best ^_^

I only recently discovered the Dangerverse, and have been eagerly devouring your works since then. This series is brilliantly plotted and extremely well written. And your characters are fantastic - I don't always agree with introducing OCs but Danger, Aletha and Meghan work really well. Thank you very much for the hours of enjoyment these fanfics have provided, and I hope you plan to update Facing Danger very soon.
P.S Thanks for keeping Sirius alive!!

Deck the Halls!
Anyway, everything since I reviewed on Chapter 7...I almost sort of wish Sirius died, because it's still just the slightest bit too happy, I think. I mean, Cedric died and baby Marcus died, but we haven't *really* got smacked in the face with the fact it's a war, and that people Harry is very close to are in danger and will die.
But I'm still having loads of fun. Update soon!

I've spent the last couple of weeks avidly re-reading (Living With Danger and part of Living Without Danger) and reading your bit of the Potterverse, and it's been a great few weeks, despite the fact that I'm not actually sure when I started neglecting all my homework and practicing to do so. (And I'm not blaming you. I swear. Because if I do, you'll cut us off. -le gasp-) I've been feeling horribly un-good-readerly, since I haven't left any reviews, but honestly, there was no way I was going to get off my lazy virtual arse to leave a review for every chapter (though it now occurs to me that once or a few times every story might not have been amiss. -heh-) I was severely prompted to leave this review because you *had* to use the Pachelbel Canon, which is about the most painfully cliché (and excruciatingly painful) wedding music in existence. I wish you hadn't.
On a nicer note, I must say that I respect, admire, and worship you for having written this much in just over two years, let alone anything entertaining, fun, engaging, and realistic. I have had loads of fun reading it, and even though I will pay later, I think it's well worth it. My only vaguely useful piece of concrit (which I am *terrible* at, for the record) is that your universe, while not crossing the line, is hovering on the brink of super-ness. There are some things I sort of wish you made more painful or had turn out slightly less well.
Anyway. Have fun writing! I'm sure I'll enjoy myself on the next nineteen chapters until I catch up, and beyond.

Oh bother. Sorry about that - first it refused to save and then it did it twice. I don't see a way to delete the extra or I would.

Y'know, you'd think by now it would have at least occurred to Draco that even if that entire vision was completely accurate, all it really shows is a tombstone with his name on it and Luna walking off with Lucius the Louse. Such things as a fake inscription or the entire Order of the Phoenix lurking in ambush just a bit off camera would not show up. Lots of other possibilities too...

A friend told me of your writings recently and I've just finished the main Danger series up to this part (now to start on the shorts and stuff...) This is fun.

Alright, I take back the unoriginal comment. That was a bit tactless as I've been reading back over a few of my favorite parts and have come to realize that the graveyard part and the Atrim part are better than the originals.
In a sick sort of Iway I love how you dangled the hope that Cedric would survive and I think it was brilliant how you put off killing him and the way Voldemort toyed with them before killing "the extra." The Atrim scene was just brilliant in the way that they fooled Voldemort.
As to originality, you are quite unique in your writing style and the story for which you have chosen. Good job, I hope to read more in the future.
Lynn Terald posted a comment on Monday 17th December 2007 4:12am
The sheer length of your stories is what originally attracted me and now I'm glad that I've stuck with you for as long as I have. I've watched your stories go from infuriatingly nondescript and almost unoriginal to almost better than the books.
I liked how you started the entire thing off and the fact that Harry didn't have to grow up with the Dursleys and how you cursed them and turned Dudley into a wizard. After reading your stories I can't even look at Draco without thinking of how you changed his character and placed him in the same house as Harry. I really loved the fact that you had Sirius become a female author that Proffessor McGonagall absolutely loved.
Your stories one of the few that have ade me laugh and I plan on sticking with you until the bitter end. So, update soon please.

I have just started reading you series and I couldn't stop. I love this universe you've created. You are one of the very few writers who can create OCs without turning them into Mary Sues. I am incredibly impressed and in my personal opinion, these are way better than the actual books. By the way, I would prefer Deck the Halls, even though I don't know what it's for. Keep up the amazing work.
Love Always,
~Rose
