Great !
That was awe inspiring !

Keep the good work going !

Loved the original, Harry Potter and the Circle's End, loved the interlude.

Keep up the awesome/original work.

Looking forward to all future installments. )

This was brilliant. What a super story.
I am glad that Harry and Hermione could take some time off from their serious business and have some fun.
I loved the interactions between them, everything from the banter between them to the tender moments. Their mutual tracing of each other's scars was especially touching.
I suppose that breaking into the Headmistress Office is a challenge, the ultimate marauder prank. This made the subsequent encounter with Lupin and Tonks funny. I am not certain the Great Hall is really a topper, since there is no problem getting in there.
A great job. I really enjoyed it.

This was priceless. Harry and Hermione's reaction to Headmistress McGonagall almost walking in on them together on her desk was priceless. Then the scene with Lupin and Tonks. I loved this part, after Harry and Hermione had already left:

"Lupin watched them leave, and turned back to Tonks. He opened his mouth, and froze as a sudden thought came to his mind...his eyes slowly panned back down the corridor, then to the secret passage they had most likely used. The last remaining original Marauder automatically ran through the passages and corridors of Hogwarts... "NO BLOODY WAY," he exclaimed.

"What?" Tonks asked, bemused. Lupin just bent down, and despite them being alone in the corridor, seemingly, whispered in her ear. "WOTCHER!" she shouted and flung her hands over her mouth, looking around with wide eyes. She looked down towards the corridor where Harry and Hermione had vanished, then back at Remus as a slow, slightly evil smile graced her lips. "Wolfie," she purred softly as she turned and leaned into him, stretching like a cat against his body to the accompaniment of a soft, groan from deep in his throat, "we can't let them get away with topping us now, can we?"

"But where would you suggest?"

She slipped back out of his arms, walking backwards saucily, and amazingly, not tripping over her own feet, "The Great Hall seems rather unoccupied at this time of night...especially the Head Table." Tonks spun and sprinted off, giggling like a mad third year, as Remus shrugged and followed at a more sedate pace, his hands in his pockets and a happy tune whistling from his lips."

That part was priceless. I have a feeling that I know what Lupin told Tonks, but I'm not entirely sure.

Anyway, this was a classic. Definitely in my Top 5!

vicky :]

I don't recall reading this one or not to tell the truth ... But I was doing a search for something a bit saucy *cough smuty cough* and up this pops ... *grin*


No need to respond to this message ... as it has been pre-recorded for both of our conviences ...

Due to craziness that has become the the standard of my life here we go with what I will call my pre-recorded standard review ...

This has been an excellent chapter, I look forward to reading the next chapter ... and in all honesty ... and in all fairness ... I am trying to ... a) add review numbers to your wonderful story ... b) add portkey points to my dwindling numbers ... c) remind you that the insanity that is NaNoWriMo is Comin up starting Nov 1st *LOL* and not over stress my already overtired creative brain with coming up with witty repartee for this review!

Honestly, (That's my Hermione coming out!) this has been an excellent chapter!

All the best,
As Always,
Muirnin - Who always knew that she would have a use for a pre-recorded review handy especially with NaNoWriMo coming up!

Still having troubles with SNORKACKS AND GARDEN GNOMES popping up at all the wrong times ... really disturbing my concentration ...

lol I absolutely loved that! I now feel that I should read Harry Potter and the Circle's End, for I have no idea why Hermione's eyes were glowing emerald, and I would love to have known -giggle-
I can't believe they actually sneaked into McGonagall's office -gasp- At first I thought that Hermione was the Headmistress and they had gone into her office at night... but wow, McGonagall's office - and on the desk too lol
No wonder Lupin and Tonks wanted to outdo them! lol
Wonderful story! You're an amazing writer!
I'll be off to check out more of your stories!

Great story. I like this one a lot, although it is a bit out of character to my taste, but hey, it is good anyway. Keep up the great work,
Yours, Pepperoni

Ya know, a little competition is a very healthy thing for relationships! This was absolutely hilarious, at just the right moments, that is. I just love when they are going at it like bunnies, because that means for that moment in time, they are safe.

ROTFLMAO!!! Totally loved this little ficlet! The ending just made me smile, esp. when Moony figured out where those two just came from! *G*

Nice and very seductive. I like the way they think.

In the headmasters office... wow. Only H/Hr could pull that one off as students.

Glad you did keep it with Moony/Tonks. I'd have hated to bear witness to Minerva getting up to ... well any activities relating to that sort when she went in there. lol.

Hey! OH man that was an awesome little fic for Hermione's BDay! I love the little scene with 'WOLFIE' *giggles* and Tonks at the end. I hope you write more very soon. until then, Byes

A wonderful little ficlet. It's interesting to see you handle Lupin and Tonks's relationship, since they're older than Harry and Hermione (more and less) and will have a different way of going about things. The secret Gryffindor passage was very fitting for them, compared to the youthful audacity that Harry and Hermione show in doin' it in the Headmasters Office (I can see how that could be considered disrespectful, that by having sex in the headmasters room, it shows that Harry and Hermione don't have enough respect for the position . . . of course, when you factor PWP into the equation, such thematic matters can easily be circumvented). It got me thinking, though. If prim and proper Harry and Hermione would have the guts to do it in the Heads office, where would Luna and Ron do it? They always seemed like the more adventurous ones to me. Maybe there's a little switch between the two couples. The softer side of Ron and Luna would be cool.


You're very good at establishing the emotional connection between Harry and Hermione. The melding of souls, the touching, espically of scars (there's a whole other language there you touch upon-- forgive my pun, and as a person with a lot of scars all over him, it's cool to see them dealt with, if not just discussed in more detail as you did here when you did a quick inventory of Harry's scars. Does Hermione have any others except for the one on her chest?) and the descriptive prose you use is delightful. The composition of the sex scenes themselves, and the physical aspects of their relationship does something quite rare; it's sexual but not disgusting or cheap. It is again, a whole other language that you are able to harness with great skill.

Of course, the coolest thing about the world you've made in "The Circle" is that, if you wanted, you could write for the next year on just these little sub-plots and moments. They only make the whole all the more vibrant and full.

I hope to see some more of the Ron/Luna relationship in these little sections. What was the most romantic thing Ron ever did for Luna? Do they ever talk about the deaths in their families and how it's affected them? Espically Ron's reaction to Hagrids death? How does Graymalkin come into the picture? Does she buy him herself, or does Ron, or do the two of them on an afternoon excursion to Hogsmeade/Diagon Alley? Has Luna connected with any of the other Weasleys? Do George and Fred "approve" of her and Ron while Molly is rather consternated by her? I realize these sound "fluffy" and if I were to write them in prose, no doubt they would because I don't have that skill. Mine's in playwriting; but no matter, we all love good stories, and, at the end of the day, that is precisely what you do.

Tell great stories.
