Zacharias Smith, a rather blunt-mannered wizard of northern extraction.
Hmm, that seems to imply that all Northeners are blunt, I'm not sure I appreciate that!
Enough of that, a great start to this story. I really like your writing style as you have a unique way of putting things that intrigue me. I look forward to reading the rest. Thank you for writing.

Actually, it doesn't but i can see why you would assume that I'm a southern softie, but my As are short as my Dad is from Lancashire. :p
Thank you for writing. Sue x

That's an interesting end to the Horcrux hunt, a rapidly aging Voldemort :roflol;. Harry seems a bit out of character ... willing to use Susan to satisfy the urges of 'hormonal teenagers'. I don't really like that . Harry beat Ginny in an argument; this really is AU .

I've no come across anything like this before either. I tried to find other Slytherin!Ginny fics whilst I was writting it and couldn't find any that didn't involve either Harry or Ginny with Draco *shudders*
The fic is finished so the next chapter should be up this weekend.
Thanks for reviewing |

OK, I'll sign on for the voyage. Looks to be a fun trip. Hooray for Slyth!Ginny -- I'm convinced that this should have been her proper sorting if only the hat (that slacker) hadn't seen 'Weasley' and gone on auto-pilot. Summers at the Burrow must be a laugh a minute ...
Let me add my vote, however, to those hoping that Miss Bones (so often cast as the Wrong Girl in these stories, have you noticed?) doesn't end up up under a bus, figuratively speaking. Inappropriate girlfriends deserve an even break! |

Really nicely done, R.
I have to say, I'm eager to see how things develop between Harry and Ginny, whom I'm curious to know more about- especially how she was sorted into Slytherin, her apparent disregard for her family, and how she became Queen Bitch of Slytherin.
Its AU but doesn't seem that way. Its your signature writing style and I'm really enjoying all the changes you've made. Something different than the typical H/G fic. Looking forward to reading the rest but great beginning |
| Wednesday 6th September 2006 09:54 | And On the Eighth Day? (Author Response) |
There is a lot of back story in the fic, but its only 8 chapters so some things are not explained.
I'm interested in what you mean when you say Its your signature writing style as no one has ever said that before |

This was an excellent start to a story I'll be sure to pay attention to. There really wasn't anything not to like. Malfoy was shown up pretty convincingly -- always fun. Harry looks to have put most of the war behind him and gets to enjoy life as a teenager. It's rare to find Harry written as an actual enjoyable character. Usually the angst from everything he's been through weighs him down. Just sitting around, insulting both Malfoy and Ron, in a lighthearted was great. It's refreshing to read this incarnation of Harry, even if he was a bit of a dick to Ginny.
Speaking of Ginny, as somehow who is finding it harder and harder to stomach the increasingly common fan fic interpretation of Ginny, this one is quite interesting. You've made her a bitch and a Slytherin, but haven't taken things too far with her character (That we've seen so far. I'm curious what she's been up to these past few years). I'm interested in seeing how you get her and Harry together.
The only thing I'm a bit apprehensive about is the situation with Susan. She seems like a decent person and Harry seems to have had a good time with her these past few months (years?). I just hope things end with her in a realistic manner and she isn't simply thrown under the bus for the inevitable H/G.
Anyway, great first chapter. I'm already looking forward to the next.

What a great review! Thank you. Now on to the specifics.
It's refreshing to read this incarnation of Harry, even if he was a bit of a dick to Ginny.
Well I think she deserved it, but its good to write a relaxed Harry being a teenaged boy and having fun. Besides he has enough to worry about in 12 Months.
You've made her a bitch and a Slytherin, but haven't taken things too far with her character
Someone else said the same thing, I've tried to only take her
a bit beyond what we know.
(That we've seen so far. I'm curious what she's been up to these past few years). I'm interested in seeing how you get her and Harry together.
That all comes out in the fic, although as its only 8 chapters long there's not a huge amount that can be put in. But the whole fic is about what she has been doing and HArry's reaction when he begins to find it all out.
The only thing I'm a bit apprehensive about is the situation with Susan. She seems like a decent person and Harry seems to have had a good time with her these past few months (years?). I just hope things end with her in a realistic manner and she isn't simply thrown under the bus for the inevitable H/G.
Don't worry about Susan
Thanks again for the review. |

Good stuff here. I think I will enjoy following the progress of this story. Looking forward to Harry telling Susan to take a hike. One chapter in and I already can't wait for Susan to be given the old heave-ho. |

Normally - I'm not one for huge departures from canon (specifically pre-OoTP departures), but I'm intrigued so far. Hope you're able to tell us about Ginny getting sorted into Slytherin.
I loved the "troublemaking" side of Harry - just getting under Ginny's skin. : ) Is that the type of Harry we'll see throughout the rest of the story? |

Why she was sorted into Slytherin does get mentioned, but there's more about what she's got up to since then.

My favourite line in this chapter is the one that earned Harry a slap on the face from Ginny. Harry gets into plenty of trouble in the seven days this fic covers and breaks a good many rules.

Wonderful writing as always, R. I'll wait for further development before I decide wether I like the way you've portrayed them.
Humour's good, Malfoy's a git, Ron and Hermione are right - it seems alright... |

You\'re off to a good start. Actually, So far I\'m not catching all that much A/U stuff. I see Ginny in Slytherin, Black as Slytherin head of house, and Blaise as a blonde female. Otherwise? Well, and the fact that Harry is a bit more outgoing/outspoken/blunt than I recall from canon. But then, we both know what 17 year old boys are like.
I\'m wondering how many other surprises you have tucked up your sleeve still ahead.
Oh, and I should say... the thought that Riddle would shrivel up and die (slowly) after the horcruxes are dealt with is a very original idea. I\'ve never seen that anywhere else. And it would REALLY fit in with canon, the way JKR spent all of HBP teaching Harry about horcruxes and not at all teaching him defensive magic.
best,

Its funny how people view AU. For some having Amelia Bones as Susan's mum and have Blaise a girl is almost too far, for others its small beer.
The most messing around with canon comes with the Marauders; I thought my beta would disown me when I sent her one part.
I liked the idea of Tom fading away. You have to wonder what state a truly mortal LV will be in. And you're right, not much defensive magic and a lot about horcruxes.
Thanks for the review. |

I a weird twisted way I am interested. Good start, and I like the Slytherin Ginny. Intrigued to know why she's in Slytherin, and what else youve changed around. I did have to reread some parts to make sure I'd read them right.
Looking forward to more!
