AN:

Okay, I'd like to start this Author's Note (That's all it is) by thanking my 'Flamers' for flaming. By doing this you give me the best ideas on what to work on. I'm not crazy or anything! 'Flamers' also give me the unusual chance to explain my strange reasoning behind the story, some of which I didn't even understand myself until you left me your flames!

First of all, I know she seems like a Mary-Sue, but it turns out that later she really not. In fact she's like the ultimate un-Mary-Sue because everything, and I mean everything comes crashing down around her.

To 'Anna' I have no idea who you are but please, if you feel that my understanding of Brtish English is so bad, help me with it. Honestly, I don't mean to offend you or anyone else. My understanding of British speech comes solely from books and my best friend in 3rd grade who was British and moved to Washington.

If anyone is interested here is her review:

Wow... um, wow.

First off, do you know what a Mary-Sue is? Because you've got one.

Dobby is out of character and poorly written. 'Defianceness' is my new favourite word, except that it isn't actually a word as it isn't in the dictionary Hagrid has an accent that you left out (although this is excusable, I hate writing funny voices too).

Is Riley supposed to sound British? It reads as though you're trying, and failing miserably. Brits don't all talk in cliches and strange words and 'blimey' and 'gee' and 'mate'.

I'm sorry, but you've just got a boring story. Hate me all you want, but it's true.

My Explanation for you: Once again, she won't be a Mary Sue for long. Sorry if Dobby is out of character, having never met House Elf in person I find it hard to write them accurately. Riley is supposed to sorta sound British but sorta not, see her mum is American so she picked up things from both places. 'Gee' is definately not meant as an attempt at British accent. I don't know where that is but it's probably in there because I have an interesting mix of accents and backgrounds from moving around a lot and my family being from everywhere immaginable. As for Cliches, um once again not an attempt at being British, I say stupid cliche-y things all the time. Blimey, hmm I like that word, not really attempting to be British, possibly a joke from a long time ago that I don't remember.

To 'I Love Harry Potter' Thanks for your opininon, it really helps me, but here's my side of the story about what you said. This was your review:

sorry but i didnt really like it. harry would never play favorite to one of the children because thats what the dursleys did to him and dudley. harry hated being ignored or picked on because he wasnt normal. also harry would care if his daughter was in slytherin and he would never let her be friends with malfoys son. my third complaint is that people would pay attention to the prophesy made by trellawny most people including harry would think it was really important. harry wouldnt be such a asshole to his daughter and he wouldnt marry such a bitch.

Here's my explanation:

Yes, Harry did play favorites in the begining, but he changes throughout the story. His opinion of his daughters is based mostly on what his bitchy wife told him because he's not around all the time due to his Auror duties. He did care that Lily was in Slytherin and deep down he knows that Lily is similar to Voldemort, but if your daughter was like that wouldn't you be in denial for a while. This takes place inthe grace period when he's trying to sort out his wife's biased comments from the truth. Nobody paid attention to the Prophesy, half, or more of the prophesies in the hall where they are stored never come true. Plus it didn't specify when these twins were to be born. Honestly, it could still be thousands of years before it actually comes true, if it ever does! The Prophesy is what you make it, if Harry had married Ginny (Like he really should) then none of this would have ever happened and nobody would even think of the Prophesy. As for the reason Harry married such an idiot, he wanted to escape from anyone he ever knew. People change too, they lie and they just plain change, sometimes we act one way around one person and another around someone else. I used Harry Potter to critisize these problems and now he is fixing them. Eventually he will sort everything out and divorce his wife, reconcile things with Riley and just plain fix all of his mistakes.

Thanks guys, I'll add more flames in here and explain to you why I did things the way I did. If you care to see my explanations then check back periodically. I don't mind flames, you have your opinions and I have mine. Actually I enjoy the flames, they improve my writing and help me to see my weaknesses as a writer and a diplomatic person. We can't always be politically correct, even though I do try!

Thanks to all my 'Flamers' and also to my non-'Flamers'!

Love From,

MotherCrumpet

P.S. Just so you know, there are two sequels, if you like it or ae just currious to see what direction I took it. Also, for you Katie and Oliver lovers, I'm writing a Katie and Oliver pairing story. It's really a lot different from the Riley Potter ones, so even you 'Flamers' might like it! I wanted to try a different style, I guess that's what you'd call it.
