To the Anonymous reviewer.

I'm sad you think Cassandra is a Mary-Sue.

She's not.

And I'm not exactly sure why you think she is.

-Please allow me to address your review! :)

- less than physically perfect girl joins school *Cassandra is fat, and she knows and accepts this*
- she isn't perfect in lots of ways (you're allowed one subject or skill where she excels, if you want, but no more than that) *I never said she was perfect. And why only one subject? I excelled in two classes in high school. Language Arts and Social Studies. Why can't she?*
- she's averagely popular, at least at first, but doesn't exude any special charisma *Cassandra gradually got more popular during her school years. It didn't all happen at once. And she's very charismatic. Fat people tend to develop amazing personalities because who wants to be fat AND boring~*
- she's got her faults, but they're just annoying, not endearing *Yeah okay, Cassandra entering that belching contest the guys were having in her second year was totally endearing~ XD*
- somehow she and her friends get involved in some adventure(s) *Yeah her and Luna like to bring in 'cuddly' creatures for Hagrid to play with*
- gradually people come to see her good points, and she starts to find her place in the school *Cassandra can hang with pretty much anyone. I know I did in high school. You don't have to be restricted to one single clique. And her peers like to hang out with her because she's always the life of the party. Nuff said*

If you want to add a moral, explicit or implicit (implicit is better), it might be something like:
- she comes to accept who she is without dreaming about some sort of world where everything is perfect *Cassandra isn't an idiot, she KNOWS the world isn't perfect. First hand in fact. And she never 'had to come to terms with accepting who she is'~ She's always loved who she is! She knows she's an amazing person who kicks major ass! And she loves her big body too! It's everyone else who has the problem, not her.
- she learns what her real strengths are as a person *Uhhh...doesn't everyone as they grow up?
- she learns that if she knows and accepts who she is herself, other people are too busy focusing on her good points to pay attention to anything else. *She knows this, because if she's focusing on her less than desirable traits then so will everybody else. Once again, she's no idiot.

Right now, anyone reading this story can see that it's just a daydream. You can clearly write well, so don't give us a daydream: you're too good for that. Tell us a story about a real girl, with real good points and real flaws, and tell us how her life changes over her time at Hogwarts. We need events, not adjectives, and a story, not a lecture.

And to you anonymous~ A fat girl who is popular is a daydream huh? Well you're wrong. A bigger than average girl can be anything. It all depends on her character. But maybe you just can't handle that. Does it just not compute for you? But maybe you're right! I'll just be a good little author and stick with the stereotypical OFC guidelines.

*Pretty...BUT NOT TOO PRETTY!

*Smart...BUT NOT TOO SMART!

*Popular...BUT NOT TOO POPULAR!

And if I follow these simple rules then I'll have an awesome story in no time! :D...

BUT! But on the other hand I can just ignore you like I TRIED to do the first time and write my story the way I THE AUTHOR want. :) The story about the big girl with the even bigger attitude who comes to Hogwarts to make friends and learn magic.

Oh and p.s.~ Just because you throw in a random complement or two at the bottom of the page doesn't distract from the fact that you came back to bother me after I deleted your first annoying review. Please take a hint. If I deleted your review that means I wanted you to leave my story alone, not that I want you to come back on and add another. Flames, no matter how politely you may try to word them are still flames. AND I DO NOT ACCEPT THEM. Thank You~
