Twentysomething lover of Harry Potter fic. I have served as a beta (btw, i am P.I. accredited) for many authors, and welcome the opportunity to do more. I also serve as co-moderator of the LJ community ptterpr0nprmpts along with the fantabulous tonksinger.
I've been around the fandom for a long time... probably since 2003. I've spent most of it lurking, but published some stories under an old pseudonym. Upon entering the fandom, I immediately became a fan of the Snape/Granger pairing. I prefer Hermione to be a bit older, but have been known to deviate from that preference. Other ships that I prefer include Draco/Ginny, Draco/Harry, Snape/Lupin, and Snape/McGonagall. I am open to most ships and recommendations, as ultimately it is this universe that I love.

This was interesting! I always wondered what in hell he was talking about with those four words - and I have to thank you personally, for not bashing Dumbledore - thank you! 
Quite a puzzling situation - and a really cool spin on one of Dumbledore's oddities.I'm quite fond of the bearded wizard.

glad you liked ita
Awesome, ASID. Dotty like a fox, huh?
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Codewords)
haha. my great-great-aunt calls herself "dotty" whenever she gets forgetful, and then laughs her ass off. that's where i got it, if i'm using it incorrectly :-/

Oh, you're using the word perfectly!
I'm not the hugest fan of Dumbledore but it works for me. Well done.

I liked this. This was really good.
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Codewords)
thanks!
It certainly sounds like some weird code, doesn't it? :)
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Codewords)
yes, yes it does ;)
Oh I really like this one. It's so funny how he decided to simply drop the 'code words' on his Heads of House like a bomb then asked everyone to sing the school song. lol
Response from astopperindeath (Author of Codewords)
it wasn't meant to be funny, but rather poignant. sorry if that didn't come across.thanks for the review.
Response from beaweasley2 (Reviewer)
No not funny as in 
but funny as in how he couldn't fit them into a speech, being so bloody intelligent and all. But yes, poignant the story is, brutally surprising. The four Heads trying to mask their surprise of the message as they dealt with the shock of the announcements in such a way. That's what I get staying up to read so late - reviews that don't make sense. sorry.
OK, I can live with this. Normallly I dislike Dumbledore with a vengeance, but this was really well done.

Ah, finally an explanation - and a believable one at that!Good thinking.
