This was a whole new world to me. I am only a sad elderly male HP Fanfic reader. All these females plotting the future.
Brilliant original story and real characters. |

| Really great. I wish you had more posted here. I may check out the Schnoogle version at some later date - I am too into this one right now to go messing with another version. |

| Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving such kind reviews. I am, in fact, planning to bring back our heroines for further adventures, but its going very slowly. Reviews like this give me incentive to keep going. |

| Wonderful I love your spin on it and Padma's narration. |

| Bravo! That was an exceptional story. Both the creativity in imagining all the in-between scenes of canon and the memoir style of the story were executed beautifully. I love Padma's connection with Hermione (and then Susan, too) and I love all the background to Cho and Cedric's relationship. I do hope you'll explore some more minor characters for us and give us the insight into their stories. |

| Thanks for reading and for all of your kind reviews. Minor characters -- couldn't agree more. For me, that's a big part of the fun of fan fiction. These days, I'm thinking mostly about ... Lavender Brown. Watch this space! |

Bittersweet, is the only word that comes to mind. I love Padma's progression throughout the story. Her infatuation with your Cho is understandable. Your take on her character is remarkable, canon yet still so original. I love the scene interpertations, like Ginny ending it with Michael, and Cho and Harry's date, and Marrietta's betrayal.
My sister, of all people, became famous. We all know what happened to Harry Potter....
I wish there would be further explanation, but I know that it is best left unsaid.
I apologize if it seems like I forgot about Padma. I honestly cannot find the words. Her undying friendship almost left me in tears. Her alliance with Hermione seems so necessary, I can't believe I never saw it before. Amazing story, I'll be sure to read your others. |

Heavens, four reviews all in one go. If only all readers were so generous. Thanks for reading and taking the time to respond. I'm especialy glad you liked my Parvati who, in some ways, is an even harder sell than Cho Chang. I never set out to write about her, but often as not I look back and notice that she has once again charmed her way in and refuses to leave. Look for more along this line coming soon to a fan fiction archive near you ...

WOW. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Okay, now I can write a proper review.
You add such depth to the books, it's unbelievable. That bit about Cho crying after Cedric's death... Terrible. You manage to describe feelings so complex that one feels they just have to be real.
I loved all the different kinds of friendship you described: the inter-house friendship with Hermione and Susan (which adds enormously to the books), and the dependences between the three Ravenclaw girls.
And I loved Padma's perspective... Even though (or because?) you told us hardly anything about Harry.
I'm eagerly awaiting your next story! |

There's only one word I can use for this story: WOW. I reckon Padam has now become one of my favourite characters. You've done her really well, and I enjoyed how you explained her relationship with Cho. You've brought up a new, possible explanation of the Yule Ball disaster, which made me giggle all the time.
Although Cho is not one of my favourite chapters in canon, you've managed to wake my sympathy for her. While reading, I just wanted to take her into my arms and comfort her.
It's remarkable how you created a unique Ravenclaw feeling. Most people tend to reduce Ravenclaw on thinking and lerning, but you have so much more, which made this fic a wonderful read. |

Then I've accomplished my mission. My work here is done.
Thanks so much for your review. |
