  Ignore the flames. They're usually trolls anyway. While there are some cliches in your story, it is pretty difficult at this point in time not to have some in Harry Potter fanfiction. The story is easy to read, there aren't any glaring spelling or grammar errors (which pollutes so much of fan fiction), and the story is easy to follow. If you and your friends are enjoying it, to hell with the nasty folks. You can't please everyone, so there's no point in getting upset about it.

  First - if someone is rude, remember you are producing something which they are consuming free of charge: the worst they should do is stop reading. Remember that reviewers who insult/degrade the author are usually lazy and can't write for themselves. Writing a fic for the first time is hard, as I can well attest to.
  Second - Like to see Tonks standing up for Harry. Your portrayal of Snape was a bit off in my opinion, in that I think he would never get in to a 'but she started it' shouting match with Tonks. Say what you will about the greasy grit, he is smart.
  Third - Some cliches are needed, but try not to overload. So perhaps, no phoenix animagus, no marriage contracts, etc.
  You have the possibility for a very good story; keep at it. Looking forward to the next chapter.

  Thank you! It's nice to see that there are still people out there who can still be nice and polite! I'm glad your enjoying my fic, and I agree - I won't go overboard on cliches - I just use the ones that I need to tell the story!
  
  Snape is a little off, but I am getting better I think! I agree, I like the way Tonks played out!
  
  I'm sorry if I came over as excessive, but thanks for standing up for me! It's been a really hard few days, personal life - guy troubles :( - and exams, I've been under a lot of stress! Writing has been a relief, but it's no fun if people are rude!
  
  Thanks again for the review, and for being polite!

  Thanks for the review! It’s really nasty how some people take pleasure in other people’s misery!! I’ve heard of that author, don’t let it get to you! You’re a strong, young woman (if you’re profile’s not lying!!) and you don’t need to listen to anyone else! Why don’t you post your story up again and I’ll review it properly? Sound like I would enjoy your fics, plus you love Harry! :D
  
  Did you mean your friend looks like Snape and you want your friend to die or Snape’s character? Lol it might just be me, but my head’s all over the place! Silly bf troubles and then these mean reviews!
  
  It’s good to know you like my fic! It’s nice to see at least one constant in my life! Please continue to review my fic, it makes me feel better knowing at least someone appreciates me for me!
  
  Thanks again!!

  I'm really sorry, that it make you cry, but I still found your story... boring, without any just a little new idea... and quit childish.
  Merlin had come, Harry is rich, the truth was hide from him, Snape is bastard, and Tonks defend Harry... Really, it could a parody, but it is not...

  Just ignore the flames, that's what I do - everyone has their own thoughts what a story whould be like, and not everyone is the same.
  
  Now great chapter mate, Snape is being a real asshole going Tonks a slag. The only trying to gain attention is him and not Harry.

  My only complaint with this story is that your chapters are quite short. However, you compensate nicely for this by posting very often.
  
  If people flame you, just tell 'em to sod off. You're the one writing. You don't see them with stories, do you?

  Please do not listen to the idiots who flame you they are ignorant. The only thing that I would like is if the chapters were longer only because you draw a person in the your story and then it end so quickly. Other than that I have enjoyed it greatly.

  Okay. There is a difference between showing emotions and being moody like a pregnant woman during her worst mood swings. You are writing about a teenager - ok, he's moody, ok, he had some really bad experiences - but don't go overboard. Or you should at least try to explain his feelings...
  If you post stories, you have to face criticism - good and bad. You cannot simply ignore those who have a different opinion - well, you can but that would mean you're a coward.
  I do not care for the length of the chapter - as long as it is well-written and not some piece of junk everyone could come up with.
  This is something I find to be severely lacking. Your story is just some copy of better stories.
  Try to use some unique ideas or write chlichés in a way so that they appear to be unique.

  Try not to let the flames upset you. This is your story not theirs, if they don't like it, they don't have to read it. Personlly, I like your story just fine otherwise I wouldn't be reading it

  I really like this story and can't wait to read the next chapter. And don't let the people who flame get to you, they don't know what they are talking about.
