I like hyden as well, he's a good character! :D hmmm.. Two months. It's better than not knowing. Maybe he'll be able to put it all in lyrics like suggested. I don't know. Good chapter.
i am a sucker for harry potter fics... but your summary sort of turned me off. it sounded like a movie announcer or sports announcer, not something that really sucked me into the story. i do like how she keeps in touch with her brother it seems, but it's really really weird that a malfoy and potter are friends. literally i can swear that mrs. weasley or mr. weasley would've never let a malfoy into their house during the war, simply because they couldn't trust them, no matter how well they knew them due to the brilliant legilimency skills they had. and introducing a son of sirius? huh, idk. i do like her relationship with cedric, but i'm having to read this taking it with a serious grain of salt because it's one thing to give harry a sibling, it's another thing to have cedric alive but sirius dead; you've got to have an amount of continuity or the story jsut seems sort of weird. perhaps it's because i didn't read the prequel that this all seeems weird, i dunno.
WELL! I can't believe I haven't gotten to this earlier. I'd like more of Sarlanda- I know she can't dominate the entire story, but it would be nice anyhow... How about a bit of Ophelia?? We haven't heard from her for ages. Cedric does bore me a bit, I must admit. What was fun about him was his tolerating Jen's antics and temper tantrums and slightly egging her on. It was quite amusing. The chapter was a bit uneventful, but well written. The business setting was very professional and makes complete sense. It fits in well with the original story, which is magnificent, of course. I don't think I've ever read any other stories of this sort, with details inside the Ministry. Write more!
Ohhhh. I suck and haven't commented or read... So I just got finished with chapter...something. The one where they're keeping watch. I kind of feel like Lance is just even more of an ass today since I'm in a bad mood. I might start that essay for you in a few about why he needs to go burn in hell.
Is it just me, or is Jen (gods calling her that is weird with you, I feel like I'm telling lies about you behind your back) even moodier in this chapter? She's kind of pissing me off too, no offense. I just mean to say that with how grumpy she is, it's like she's PMSing everyday. All I could think was "get the chick some midol".
I did adore Cedric at the beginning of the chapter because he's such a little kid. I just kind of pictured him whining about how he wants to help her and she's all "shut up Cedric. There's a reason you were in Hufflepuff."
12- Aww they didn't stick with Ophilia's nicknames? D: well I guess at least Hyden did 13- brilliant, very nice. Can I be Jared's girlfriend? xD 14-AHH house elf! you're hella smart! 15- I love Sarlanda! You should add more tidbits. I thought something might happen between Brittney and Collin, but it looks like it might be him and Sarlanda now at this point. I LOVE the name Sarlanda! Where did you get it? It's so beautiful and unique and so...Malfoy. I freaking love it. 16-bahahhaha knock on wood. that last chapter was creepy...yeah...or you could totally give me Lance. I would totally take him. ooooh
Aaaaand, finished! Damn, with prequel and sequel! I LOVE what you've done with the plot- how Hyden is Sirius's son and Launa is Lupin's and especially Ophelia being a McLaggen. Hilarious. I absolutely loved the pranks in the prequel- and oh my hell, that Star Wars quote. I quoted it to my friend online, but when I tried to act it out in the middle of my college math class...oh I could barely breathe and stop laughing so I could begin. And the class was dead silent too, which made it a bit more awkward. Anyway, I love Lance's character. Maybe if you decide you like me, you can stick me into the story and pair me up with him C; give him motivation to stop torturing Jen and turn good. <3 I think, in addition to the humor, the best quality of the story is that you've taken the best of the book and your creativity and made it your own.
But I'm not only here to sing praises. I was really surprised when you credited a beta, I believe in chapter two. There have been a lot of spelling errors scattered throughout the story -I think even in chapter 1 of the prequel when it said "years later". If you'd like, I can edit some chapters sometime. Write more!!!!!
