I like Harry Potter but I'm usually not huge on fanfictions. I have to say though that this was extremely well written and it was much different from what I would expect!
I really like Carina's character. She's so...timid and maybe even shy. I loved the description of her father and how he's always being mentioned around her, just like you said - how she's been living in his shadow.
Farren is great, too. I don't know which one I like more. They're polar opposites and it really works out well :) this is very well written. The layout is very nice, too
I love this story so much. I especially loved it when Carina and Mrs. Weasley were yelling at the boys and Farren. The boys actually believed she was angry with them. Absolutely priceless. (: Carina's personality is shining through more and more. Farren, Lee, and the twins are exactly what she needed. Keep being awesome with this story!
He rarely smiled, and when he did, it was a haunting experience. – I adore this sentence because I’ve not read some like it. I wouldn’t think a smile was an experience, but when one so rarely smile it would be, wouldn’t it?
“Of course. You’ll be just like your father. Did you know he tortured my father? Under the Imperious Curse, my ear – ,my ear – Is that supposed to be my dear?
I like Farren, and I’m guessing these two girls are going to be friends.
The twins seemed to think otherwise. “No way!” “You’re destined for Ravenclaw, at least!” “Probably Gryffindor, though.” “We only make friends with the best type.” – I like this! Oh, I can imagine them saying this.
I like it, (I adore the 3rd chapter because of Fred and George).
I loved the story before, but now i find it ten times better! Since it is their third year, Harry Potter and the rest of the gang is coming into Hogwarts and it allows for multiple different things to tie into the story line. hahahahaha...Squirrel.
Poor Carina! That's just awful what her father did to her! Glad she's at the Weasley's now with the twins and now Farren. I love how close they have become in the past three years. I love this in general! :)
Sorry for not commenting earlier. My internet is down and won't be back for a while. I love the idea of the letters. I feel so bad for Carina. She didn't even know what her father was and the fact that he beats her. Hope it gets better for her.
I normally don't read HP fanfics since most of them end up being dirty and lack in plot.
But, I have to say J.K would be proud of this one. There is actual plot and characteristics and depth all together withing the story. Everything is impeccable and just purely enjoyable.
Oooh, what an interesting concept! I like HP fanfics, but I tend to keep away from them because some of them aren't the, erm, best, if you catch my drift. But yours is definitely interesting!
Carina is such a cool (to say the least) character. She has this attitude that makes you fear her, but as it seems, the other girl wasn't too keen about her being on that train and honestly, I don't blame her. Deatheaters aren't...cool. At all. But I feel like Carina is very different from her father and she might do some good, despite her family's blackened name. I like this :D
Nice job with this! I'll be subbing and will come back later to read more (: <3
Still as good as always. I love the difference between Farren and Carina. I'm still wondering how they become friends if Farren is so convinced that Carina is just like her father. I guess there would be no fun in the story if they became friends right away though.
I read Harry Potter fan-fiction but I try to keep away from it. However, I absolutely love this. First off I love the layout. The background seems so light and happy but has sort of that "old-rug-on-the-floor" type feeling. I can't even describe it, haha I just love it.
I already love Carina. I love the introverted kind of characters and the descriptions you had about her parents were lovely. I especially liked what you said about her father:
"He was well built, tall, and cast a shadow twice his size. Carina would know -- she’d been living in it all her life."
In one line, "Her father gave her a curt nod before Carina turned away. Even though she had never lived away from her parents, it would be nice to get away." You say away a lot, and I think you should try to use different words in there such as: "even though she had never lived apart from her parents, it would be nice to finally escape them." Just to kind of break it up a bit, you know?
Also, this sentence, "he backed away before turning and shoving past people to get as far away from the other girl as possible while wiping tears off her red cheeks." It seems like a run-on? I would break this up as well!
Over all the last line made me laugh, and makes me want to keep reading. I love the interaction she had with the girl on the platform. I am definitely going to subscribe and once I am done babysitting, I will continue reading! Very nice job :)
