OMG!!!AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME POST ON THE SECOND MICHAELA POV POST MARINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![[trippy]](/images/emoticons/wb/trippy.gif) . That was BY FAR THE SINGLE GREATEST INDIVIDUAL POST YOU'VE EVER PRODUCED!.![[supergrin]](/images/emoticons/wb/supergrin.gif) I've never been more delighted to be one of your readers than I am tonight!!! I thought your writing couldn't possibly get any better than it already was but in that post it did. I've always had faith in you as a writer but in the second Michaela POV post your writing entered a stratosphere hitro unseen. I'm awestruck that as good as your posts have always been you could actually get loads better. The quality of both the writing and the content of this fic is inspiring. Wise choice I think to set this fic in James's and Michaela's seventh years. Any fic in which romance plays a significant role is obviously best set when the students are older. I'm really excited to see where the relationship between James and Michaela goes. I was pleased when I got online tonight to find a new post awaiting. OMG I wonder what will happen in Hogsmeade. If there was a Mount Rushmore for fan fics this fic would indisputably deserve to have it's entrance displayed on such a monument. (And Marina did just as wonderful a job making the entrance as she has of making the posts,she should also be very proud of the job she did making the entrance.) If there were a fan fic Hall of Fame this fic would deserve not only to be indisputably the first fic inducted but to have a room to itself and to be hung in golden frames. Our venerable Marina has come through for us yet again.![[winky]](/images/emoticons/wb/wink.gif) . I'm in such awe of how great that last post was I'm almost speechless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Michael

Chapter Four- Part 2 of 3: Let's Mix it Up a Little.
After the Quidditch game, it was pretty much going to Hogsmeade all after that for a refreshing lunch with my brother. But once I was changed and got outside, it fell upon me that he had left without me.
Oh well, I thought, He knows his way around. And anyway, I told him to meet me at Honeydukes. He'd know I'd be there any second.
As I walked out of the changing rooms, I noticed everyone was gone, which gave me no hesitation to turn the corner. As I turned, I stopped right away, seeing in the back no other than James Flirting Potter himself, hitting on a bunch of giggling blondes. Shaking my head slightly, I stepped back, then thought about the situation. It would give me immense pleasure just to humiliate him in front of these moronic Hufflepuffs.
So, taking my wand from my back jeans pocket, I leaned forward and flicked it lightly, whispering an old spell under my breath.
That second, his pants were gone, and in my hands. I giggled, ran into the boys changing rooms and set them on his place, smirking.
As soon as I came back out, he was running back.
I hid behind a shrub, still holding back the numerous chuckles and laughs I had to get out. Hopefully I could sustain myself till I got to Honeydukes.
But then, I thought a little toying some more wouldn't hurt.
Potter walked out wearing all of his clothes this time, his sportsack slung over his shoulder. I stood in front of him with my arms crossed.
"What in Lord's name happened back there, Potter? Those girls seem to be having a great time laughing. You been tellin' 'em one of your fabulous pick-up jokes?" I smirked as he continued walking, staring ahead. I followed him.
"None of your business, Malfoy."
But then, he stopped, and I could see in the hint of his eyes that he finally got the message. He turned on his heal to face me, and I stood there, my arms crossed, smirking.
"YOU." he hissed and I laughed.
"Yes, ME, Potter."
Instead of picking up his wand and asking for a fight, he groaned and stomped his foot on the ground. At this, I raised one eyebrow and let my hands drop. "What is WRONG with you?" he asked, "What do YOU like me too?!"
I swallowed back a nasty swearword then glared at him. "Certainly not. If anything, quite the opposite, Potter."
But Potter just snorted and rolled his eyes. "Please. Now if you'll excuse me, Miss Snake-eyes, I have to go get my little siblings down at Honeydukes."
My eyes narrowed. I cursed to myself. Then, I felt my face soften and stopped him, biting the corner of my lip.
"I know this sounds stupid, but can I just tag along? I mean, Scorpius is down there too, so..."
"WHAT?" he looked at me with a face so distraught and angered, I thought he was going to explode. Where'd he get this temper from, exactly?
"I told Scorpius to meet me at Honeydukes too."
"Damit! JUST what I need!"
Then with that, he was charging down to Hogsmeade, leaving his sack behind him. I rolled my eyes. Just because our siblings hung out together didn't mean a thing... Did it?
Oh just mix it up a little, Michaela, a voice inside me whispered, and I picked up his sportsack then bolted off behind him.

There is another great quality of this fic that needs to be acknowledged. In the unique idea of the multiperson POV Marina chose good colors to use for the fonts. When I first came into this thread the first James post was already up so I knew that the red would be easy to read. The queen of harrypotter.com had also posted her color scheme plans. Well I knew pink and black would work out well. I already knew those fonts are very easy on the eyes. (plus the intro was done in pink). I do admit I was worried when she said she'd be using green because some shades of green can produce hard to read text but the Scorpius post wound up being in a totally different shade of green than I had envisioned and really wound up being easy to read. Well it's about time for me to get offline until Sunday night but I thought I'd stop by and acknowledge this. Great job with your choices of fonts Marina.

More wonderful work Marina.. So now we know that the rest of this fic will be in James's and Michaela's seventh years and Albus's and Scorpius's third year. Interesting that the Gryffindor and Slytherin Qudditch teams were practicing together. Could it be that Albus-Lily snuck off to Hogsmeade with Scorpius while James was distracted by the cute girls.? Will James go off to Hogsmeade to find his siblings"hanging out" with Scorpius?. More work worthy of nine hundred octillion to the nine hundred octillionth power times better than O in N.E.W.T. This fic is as enjoyable to read as chocolate is to eat. You did a masterful job of portraying James's embarrassment and anger in part 1 of Chapter 4. You do a wonderful job with word use and setting and behavior description Marina. I also will add that I really respect that you ALWAYS use proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. The COMPLETE lack of mechanical errors on top of your masterful skill at word use,dialogue,and description really makes your writing so awesome to read. Awesome work Marina keep it up. You had my and Arizona's gratitude for your commitment to finishing the Draco fic when most fic threads die without being finished and you now have my and Arizona's gratitude for creating this masterful new fan fic. Thank you so much for providing us with such wonderful fics Marina. This fic is a true winner. IT IS AN INDISPUTABLE TRUISM THAT THIS IS THE BEST ACTIVE FIC ON THE BOARDS AT THIS NANOSECOND AND IT IS AN INDISPUTABLE TRUISM THAT THIS IS THE BEST FIC IN FAN FIC HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Michael

Chapter Four-POV 1 of 3: You've Got to Be Kidding Me!
"And Potter strikes back with a powerful swing! Come on there, James! You got it now!"
"Swing? Come ON, Jordan! It's Quidditch Practice, not baseball!" I laughed, swinging up fancy on my broom, making a group of blond Hufflepuff girls giggle and cheer. Albus swerved past me on his broom, followed by Scorpius, both chasing the Snitch. I slapped my head and hollered, "Go, Albus! Go!!!!"
"But we're having fun!!" Albus whined as he snatched the Snitch out of Scorpius' hand and grinned, landing and carefully placing it back into it's box.
Scorpius grinned and landed beside him, flicking his bright blond stringy bangs out of his eyes and whooping. Lily ran out to us from the middle of the court, blowing the whistle Madame Houch had given her and grinned. "Better next time, boys!"
Even though Lily didn't actually play Quidditch, she was indeed very involved in our matches and practices, like today.
"Oh, shove off, Lils!" I yelled, landing as well, followed by the other Slytherins and Gryffindors on the playing practice teams. As we headed inside to change, the group of blond girls that I had been flirting with earlier were huddling in a group outside the changing rooms. My smile lit up as I quickly rushed over to them before changing, leaning against the wall.
They all seemed to be watching me with ease, and I indeed loved how the walked and how they wore short plaid skirts and fake ties and had their blond hair strung into curly ponytails. Four of them were quadruplets. Yes. QUADS.
"Heyy James. Nice game." Isabella Jemerers cawed at me cutely. I nodded and grinned.
"Yeah, well," I shrugged, "It comes to me naturally, I suppose... hey, do you girls want to come down to Hogsmeade with me after I go...change?" I raised my eyebrows and gave them a wink, causing one of them to turn pink and hold her breath.
Then, suddenly, the whole group of girls giggled and laughed uncontrollably and pointed at my legs. I looked down at my legs and noticed my red and gold Gryffindor boxers showing instead of my black gaming pants. I shrieked like a girl then charged into the changing room, leaving the cute girls behind me.
There, lying by my clothes bag were my Quidditch boots and pants.
Then, feeling completely insecure --not to mention my red cheeks--, I screamed at the top of my lungs, realizing my siblings and team had left to go to Hogsmeade without me.
You've GOT to be kidding me.

AN EXTRA FYI-
The next post I post will be (as you can tell) from James' POV and at Michaela and James' SEVENTH YEAR and Lily's 5th year and Albus and Scorpius' 3rd year...
These ages/years will be how it will be for the rest of the fan fic.

Huh, interesting, now my post seems to have been edited. This is as odd as the invisible threads I have seen...
Sorry for continually spamming your thread, Lina, but this is extremely intriguing me. lol. I hope you can get a small smile from how weirded out I am.
I really think that if someone knows what is going on, they should tell me. -nods and smiles-

Michael, are you editing your posts to keep Lina's fic at the top? It keeps going back up as though you are posting, but I noticed the post count wasn't going up. lol.
Sorry for spamming your fic, hun. Just bored and curious.

I was really excited when you put this fic up because I was really excited to see what you would do with another kind of fic. I had been looking foward to reading your new fic ever since you posted the message in the Draco fic indicating you would make a new fic(I kept an eye on the thread list for a new fic by you.) and as I knew it would be it's awesome. I can tell even early on this fic will always be 1000000 on a scale of 1 to 10!!!! Hail to all the interesting twists and turns that are still to come!

Indeed you have REAL good guesses and ideas for where my fics go, Michael, and YOU never fail to wow with me with your EXTREME love for my fics.
Thank you very very much...
You're starting to remember me of my friend's boyfriend... which I suppose is odd, but cool anyway. Because we're friends.
So yes, thank you.
And next post MIGHT be up tonight. POSSIBLY. If I have time...(which I probably will)
