nice - spent the las few evenings reading your story.  I appreciated your OC.  Keep up your writing.

That was really neat. I was hitting the random story link in search of something new and came across your story. I got a  real gem this time.

I had a really tough time with the change-over from HP/OC to SS/OC. If the beginning had been told more from Tanya's POV rather than Harry's, it would have helped clarify the angle of the story, and would have made it flow easier, I think.Still, interesting tale, and of course, I'm always happy when Severus gets to have some happiness in his life.EM

Hi, wishing to tell you that I'm reading your story. You've created a great turn of events, congratulations! Corrupted Auror trainees? Of course Malfoy finds out a flaw if he can use money to exploit it. You deserve more reviews but OCs tend not to get the same  attention as canon characters even if bent to be unrecognisable. Me for one, I then prefer a new person. You're, however, close to creating a Mary Sue but maybe her exhaustion and some other drawbacks compensate for her power .. and beauty? Gypsis are outcasts in both worlds, that's so tragic, but I think Tanya is right in that the wish for it as well. Face it, out world isn't oo great thateveryone must embrace it. I will be reading on, I promise, but not today.

I have never liked Cho.  Tanya is too much woman for Harry, seems more like Severus' type.  Tamara

This chapter is very good.  It had all kinds of emotions in it.  Tamara

Tanya reminds me of Hermione somewhat.  Tamara

What I don't understand is why more people haven't reveiwed this story.  Tamara

It's amazing how detailed your story is.  I'm enjoying very much.  Tamara

Happy Birthday Harry!  sorry you didn't get what you really wanted lol  Tamara

Great chapter.  Tamara

This story keeps getting more and more intriguing.  Tamara

I believe this is going to be a very interesting story.  Great first chapter  Tamara

Very beutiful story. It has met my expectations in almost every way. The fact that this could have been a book also impressed me. The drama and the suspence between the relationship between Harry, Tanya, and Snape seems to have been the most "encapturing" of the story. Though the ending of the feared wizard Voldemort could have gone better, I believed that the irony of his death being a knife seems off balance. Still Good Story.

The story is keeping my interest.  Tanya seems too mature and knowing for sixteen, but perhaps it's her gypsy heritage.  Would part of her heritage be an inclination to hide her skill, or does she trust everyone at Grim Old Place?There was a crossover story of Buffy and Harry where Xander took out the portrait with a chain saw.

Okay, you got Harry out of the Dursleys without subjecting him to a lot of misery.  That's good.  It's a bit dull to me because the characters are acting predictably, but we have to balance this against introducing the new characters and the story line in a clear manner.  Molly's reaction to Gypsies was a good touch.  My suggestion would be to have Snape make Harry nervous by being nice to Harry.

I have had this planted firmly on my favorites list for a long time, and I finally got the time to read it fully. Had to go back and re-read a few chapters to remember where I was, but I have finally finnished! And wow, what a story! I can't figure out if Tanya is a Mary-Sue or just a really good original character. The fact that she ends up with Snape supports the MS theory, but all the Gypsy history and its relation to the magical world makes me think Tanya was created to segway Gypsy magic into Harry-Land. If so they kudos to you. I was totally taken in by the new and interesting magical lore Tanya could wield. I also loved that you had her originally involved with Harry. The best stories always have some sort of love interest/antagonist to f#@$ up the works. I was kind of pissed that you didn't go further down that road before clearing the way for Snape. But hey, it all works! Excellent story - I am so glad I finally got the time to read this in its entirety. It must have taken a mammoth effort to get it right! Can't wait for the next story you put out as your writing style is really beautiful. lol   

Worthy of J. K. rowling herself!

The characters seemed alive. As an author myself I can say that Dusty Rose has a better grasp of characterization than I do.

Her storyline flowed smooth as silk. No gaps, inconsistancies or errors that I could spot.

All in all this is the best piece of fanfic that I have ever had the pleasure of reading! 

Harry isn't as anxious as I am to see why she wants to see him alone in her room. ;) Excellent, excellent story. I am enthralled with Tanya.

What a great story! Thank you so much!PS I was a little disappointed when the Harry/OC stuff didn't happen.Well, we cant have everything in life....Anyway, whatagreatstory!

tanya is hot! sry... lol.
