    Scar tissue that I wish you saw
    Sarcastic mister know-it-all
    Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
    With the birds I'll share

    Never have these lyrics been more appropriate.

    Devil's Angels by Kittenshift17 reviews
    Hermione applies to foster the children of Thorfinn Rowle, Antonin Dolohov, and Fenrir Greyback while the convicted Death Eaters are in prison. The Ministry is more than willing to let her take up the role no one else wants, there's just one catch. She's got to gain 'permission' from their father's to raise the boys. And she will. By whatever means necessary.

    "A girl from our world" yields 628 search results on ffnet. To be honest though the summaries are probably the best parts. This is bad sure but more because it's about a bad idea, rather than a bad summary.


    This takes place starting in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and goes on from there.
    A young girl from our world named Lily Avens gets transported to the world of Harry Potter. She is a mystery to many, especially Severus Snape.

    It's annoying when people think James was a bully.

    But it defies comprehension to suggest he broke Lily and Snape up.

    Clearly, him acting in a way that Lily found annoying actually distanced Lily from Snape instead of distancing her from James. It's advanced subverse psychology, you just don't understand.

    Somehow I disagree.

    That summary reminds me of advice I got from the chair of my department on writing.

    If you're an undergrad student, pretend you're a grad student.
    If you're a grad student, pretend you're a doctoral student.
    If you're a doctoral student, pretend you're God.

    Confidence is key and fake it til you make it.

    The Power of the Potters » by RockIllComplete! With a Light Lord interfering in Potter Family matters and a Dark Lord hell-bent on killing off the Potters, a cadet branch of the Potter family has to act. Armed with knowledge, Family Magik, and supported by many cousins, Harry takes Magical England by storm. Realistic characters and some bashing, HHR with less focus on pairings. Betaed by Marc the Unruly

    But that’s not all! First sentence of AN of this smoothie of cliches:

    “This is a story that just came to me.”

    Uh-huh.

    That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a contradiction.

    Something about the "(which they do not know how he did)" is making me laugh very hard.

    I see it popping up around a lot.

    It is some kind of a trope which confuse me.
    English isn't my first language, so is magik an older version of magic? or related to it?
    Or some kind of lie the masses are now buying?
