This is the best story I have ever read! It made me so happy. You truly captured the essence of all the characters especially Michael!

Author's Response: Oh wow, that's such a nice compliment! Thank you!! I think you're being too nice, but I really appreciate it anyway, especially if my story made you happy, then I'm really happy as well. :) Thank you so much for the feedback. I was happy to write this fic, a couple years ago when I did, because I thought MJ needs a great escape like this and I wanted to give that to him. So I tried my best and I hope I did ok in the end. :)

I know it has been long, but I cannot express how much I love this story. It is, to me, simply the best fiction on this site And I will always silently wish for a continuation of this, where MJ's magical friends whisked him away on 2009, and gave him a magical life he always dreamed for.

But seriously, you're awesome for writing this. Thank you lovely. 



Author's Response: I don't know why I didn't see this review until now, sorry for the late reply. ........Oh man. You got me in the heart with that idea. I wish SO MUCH that that's what happened in 2009. Just thinking about that makes me want to cry. I think of him hanging out in the Hogwarts library, reading to his heart's content, having lunch with Dumbledore, walking the Hogwarts ground and discovering new mysteries, making friends with Hagrid eventually... and it just makes me think: that's the way it should be, that's where Michael belongs, in a world of magic, just like him. Thank you for liking my story. It was my present to Michael, so somehow make his dreams come true.

Aw, man- sorry for not... uh, what do you extactly call what we are doing right now...? ^^' But still- I was feeling real' guilty for spamming your review box like that :(

And sorry for mistakenly posting another review! Virtual hug? XD

I know that he was on anti-pain potions- but still- there's no medicine that can cover the full pain of getting all muscles and organs ripped out from your body... *Shudder* A lil confusion! Haha! (And I'm glad Mike didn't eat blood-covered popcorns! i just thought that there were giant blotches of red on his hand...)

I guess I did watch it- but still- with full magic an' stuff (Minus the skeleton effect- for MJ's good...) and Michael is performing! It would be magical! (Haha! Pun probably intended!) And kickass- as you said!

Yes, yes- thank a lot, dear dumbledore and dear Ema, too. 

And Michael would, we both know- never do that. He keeps promises! :D

(But if it were me- I wouldn't be that sure... XD)

That man's a genius! But you still did something MJ would do- standing up for Human rights, not caring if he were about to die performing. Remember that one time when he was performing Earth Song and he bridge came crashing down? Poor thing... I love him...

And, uhh... yeah- about that- I guess he did? I mean- err... I don't really read much smut- and well, it's not exactly my cup of tea.

It's not like I hate people who write smut- I badly phased that- but what I meant was that there are like thousands and thousands of romance stories and 'adult' stories- and easy to be annoyed if you don't really like these things. I know it looks like I'm bashing people who writes these- but well, please understand...I'm pretty tired of seeing those summaries everytime I click on ANY genre. And add the almost vampire-to-sunlight type aversion to the mix. Do you understand now? XD

And uhm- the thing is- I DO love Black Butler- and I HAVE read Sebastian x Ciel stories- but I... uh, I don't really don't go as far as 'that'... I really sorry T.T Sorry... D:

Ahaha- my awesome reviews? You think those hyper ramblings are awesome? :D Thank you! And I sometime come with outrageous ideas- but I can't really put them up on paper (Or virtual paper)...

(And I want to hug you too, now :D)

(And I felt really happy when you decided to share the plot idea! O///O Very, very embarrassed...)

And yeah- thanks for telling me. Man- I know Michael'd be devasted if he hears poor Dumbledore died! :(

But oving on to a more cheerful subject- how about inviting Michael to Hermione and Ron's wedding? That would be fun!

O///O Aww- thank you? I mean... uhh, it's so hard to express in words- but I'm really happy yet kinda embarrassed that you decided to share your Skype account cause of my crazy rants! :D (But I don't have Skype! D: T.T)

On the subject of being creepy- I'm feeling like I'm kind-of creeping you out...

XD 

Ahh- so then,

SweetPearl

^^'

P.S - Another huge rant of a reply! (You still think I'm a fun person to talk to? XD)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Author's Response: Ok, you mentioned the bridge accident... that totally inspired "Magical"!! He freaking kept singing! And then one more song after that. And then he collapsed. Like, jeez Mike!
Yeah, I totally understand what you're saying btw... however my aversion to smut is only in the MJ fandom. IMO, all the other fandoms are more balanced, which is probably why I can stomach it like normal elsewhere. Because it comes with a balance of well-written non-smut also. lol.
Yes, your reviews are still awesome. I'm poor at replying apparently. I remember you said Hi to me on Skype one day... I'm still there. ;) I love you cuz you're funny: "virtual paper"... I'm gonna remember that one. lol.
Ok, that idea of Michael at Ron & Hermione's wedding.... I didn't tell you until now -- SUPER SUPER SORRY SORRY SORRY FOR TAKING A YEAR TO REPLY -- I actually thought about that for a really long time. It's still the frontrunner idea for a sequel, if I ever write one. Still doubtful, but you never know. It's a good idea! lol. So I will definitely credit you if I ever write MJ at Ron & Hermione's wedding...... it would be pretty awesome! Too bad I'm gonna have no readers. hahahhahaha. Anyway, sorry again for taking an unacceptably long time to reply. I feel bad about that. :( Hope you're well. Take care. :)

Michael -sigh-  I question his sanity but at the same time I'm like you're perfection. He was seriously such a trooper during the last two songs, it reminded me of his performance in Munich I think when the bridge collapsed. It's moments like that, fictional or not, where I feel proud of him and want to hug and take care of him and then another part of me just wants to shake him and tell him this is a time to be selfish! You need to take care of yourself right now haha. Michael was never like that though, he always thought of others and I think that's why his fans don't hesitate to defend him and express their love for him. The fact that he continued with the performance showed how strong muggles could be and I think MJ pretty much blew everyone away with that performance. 

I love how he used house elves and that he was basically saying he supported and believed in their rights. That really shocked the audience! It was an emotional part for me though and a proud moment. Only Michael Jackson could bring equality to the wizarding world. 

I'm so happy Michael was able to keep his memory! It would've been sad if he had been obliviated. His interaction with Hermione is so sweet! He's just so vulnerable and dependent but independent somehow. I love how you described Hermione's feelings when she was watching Michael in his element. There really is something magical about that and I can't imagine actually being there and witnessing his genius in action. I like watching behind the scenes things just to see his direction and focus and it's so inspiring and amazing. 

How awesome would it have been to see Michael with Dumbledore let alone Harry Potter?! I loved the MJ and Dumbledore moments. And Ron! Haha geez that kid, he's a trip. His reaction at first was funny because he kinda blows Michael off like he's no big deal and then he acts the spokesperson with all the press. Suddenly he's into the Michael Jackson hype! I know he's a Slytherin and their nemesis, but I was really hoping I would see some Malfoy. 

I've really enjoyed reading this and thank you for sharing. I wish there were more stories as unique as this one. I'm sad it's ended now, but I hope to see more work from you. Great job (:



Author's Response: You know, for a second there, I didn't know if u were talking about the real MJ or the MJ in my fic. lol. OMG, I'm SO GLAD it made you think of the 1999 Munich bridge accident!! I was thinking of that when I wrote it!!! Like, if that's how much pressure MJ put on himself for a normal special event, then you can imagine the lengths he would go to to perform for the wizarding world. And as much as I want to shake him and tell him take care of himself also, u just know that's not in him to do. And that's what made him the performer we love, what drove him to push boundaries the way no one else did. I agree about the fans... if he gave us so much, it only feels right to speak up on his behalf. It's the least we can do. I remember when I was in middle-school (this was 2000-2002) and I loved MJ so much but the assholes in my class used to make so much fun of me for it. It's like it wasn't enough to attack me, but they attacked me for even liking him. I still remember some of the horrible things they used to say- "ew, u like the guy who looks like his face melted off from standing behind a jet engine"... yeah, that one is real, I heard it many times. And I was stupid back then... there was a year in 2002 where I just couldn't take the names, I just wanted to never hear those kind of horrible insults thrown at Michael -- not even for myself, cuz they could tell me whatever the hell they wanted -- but I couldn't stand them picking on him. So for a while, when ppl asked me what my fav band/artist was, I used to lie and say the Bee Gees (my 2nd fav, by a long shot).... and when I think about it now, I want to cry and take it back. I feel like I betrayed him. Even if I only said that for that year, I grew the balls to defend him properly later when I grew up. But it still makes me sad. Being a MJ fan is like wearing a badge of honor IMO, if you embody the principles he strived to teach us all: love, fairness, equality and human rights, taking care of our world, etc. *sigh* Anyway, yeah. So the house-elves during Heal The World felt like a very "Michael" thing to do. I tried hard to come up with a show I feel he may have done. His speeches throughout the fic are pretty sappy, but since he was more free in the company of wizards, he let all his usual "from the heart"-type sap flow free, and hopefully I got a few of his speech patterns across as well. Dunno if I mastered that, but I think the house-elf speech was pretty good.
I love how you describe "vulnerable and dependent but independent"... if I got that across, I'm very glad for it. I feel like Michael is the embodiment of so many opposites. One of my fav quotes is "joy and desperation, often with no distinction between the two".
About Michael "in his element"... I also love watching him when he's planning and working and studying and directing others ...like the Dangerous Tour rehearsals: the bit where he's directing his backup dancers how to "travel travel travel", when he gets into that spirit, I think that's a part of him that we as fans rarely get to see, but all those industry ppl that got to work with him are familiar with. I love all the behind the scenes stuff, cuz I feel it gives us a rare glimpse into his true genius. I don't believe he ever accomplished anywhere near what he'd planned and tried to do in his life, so seeing the behind the scenes gives just that extra peek into his mind. And MJ has a spectacular mind. *sigh* I did my best to capture what it would have been like to witness a genius in action, in the thick of "creation" the way he loved so much. I tried.
I love the idea or Michael and Dumbledore hanging out. I think they would have a ton to talk about- they both have wise old and fair personalities with a flare for mischief and fun, who have traveled the world and seen too much grief in their lifetime. In my mind, they could have been very good friends. As for Harry Potter- he's the one character in this fic that I'm afraid I didn't capture very well. IMO at least. Even Ron, I think I might have done a better job w him than w Harry. Ron seems to be the one that catches up slower, he might even be brash with his comments, but he's true and loyal when it matters. And giving him a role where he can bask in reflected glory seems natural. As for Malfoy... of man, I wanted to give him a role, I really did. But I kept thinking and I couldn't come up with a way to fit him into the plot. Even if it was just a little. IMO, if he had liked MJ's show, he's too proud to say anything positive. And if he didn't and had just made childish comments about the muggle, it wouldn't have fit into the fic so well I think. Michael had enough self-doubt in his head, no need to add Malfoy. lol. I'd love to hear if you had any alternative ideas though, lol.
Lastly, thank you sincerely for your reviews and compliements. They mean a lot to me. They put a smile on my face and have me dance around my livingroom in joy. Honestly. I wish I could hug you. And what's more is you understand that spirit of Michael's that I was trying to capture. I'll never be able to do it justice, but one can try. Thank you again.
Oh, and unfortunately I don't have anything written or planned that I'm likely to post soon. All my MJ fanfic plans are huge drawn-out works, and the two I have in my head aren't as happy as this one. Perhaps that's why Magical came together easier than the rest (not easy by a long shot, but just a bit easier).. because it has joy in it. My other ones are usually allegorical lessons about humanity which we would learn from MJ, etc. This was my one "light and fluffy" one. :) But, as I told another reviewer- if one of us can come up with a good plot for a sequel --while improbable, it is still possible for me to write more. lol. Cheers. :)

I like this! More please! I love MJ and Harry Potter. :)

Author's Response: YAY!! I'm so glad you like it. Thank you! This is my first crossover fic, and I know it's crazy mixing MJ and HP (which are two of my biggest childhood loves), but I *think* it works. hehe. I just posted the 2nd chapter btw. :)

What a unique story, mashing two fics into one. Can't wait to see what happens next! This is one I'll be excited to continue!



Author's Response: Thank you! Reviews like this make my day! Especially since I have a lot of insecurities about this fic- it's only of my few PG fics, it's my first crossover fic, and I know it's absurdly different than most of the fics in the MJ fandom. Thanks again. Btw, I just added the 2nd part. :)

I've never been a fan of Harry Potter but this story is so different from the rest and I loved the beginning!! I really wanna see what happens next so Please update soon and I will definitely be adding this story to my favorites! 



Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much for the wonderful compliments. It only makes the praise more meaningful to know that you're not really an HP fan. Nonetheless, you hit the nail on the head- I will never write the kind of eye-sporkingly poor smut and drivel which the MJ fandom is plagued with. However, I was extremely apprehensive of the kind of welcome this fic of mine would receive, being that it is so different. I just added the 2nd part! And in the 3rd part: MJ at Hogwarts!! haha YAY! Thanks again. :)

Michael Jackson at Hogwarts?! I'm so stoked for this story, it's going to be awesome! I wonder how Michael will react though when he finds out or how Hermione will contain her excitement. She just took a freaking portkey to Neverland to see the King of Pop! If I had received a Hogwarts letter, I would've done the same thing. I love it so far and can't wait for more. Thank you for writing so well too - good grammar and spelling is very appreciated! (:



Author's Response: First, I LOVE your username! It made me crack up like crazy! haha. Second, Thank you so much for such a lovely review! It means a lot to me, cuz I know this is a very unusual piece of fiction for the MJ fandom. I love how you summarized the 1st chapter, hehe, yeah- that's the whole point of this story, to be fun and light and hopefully MJ will enjoy himself on a little adventure. Lastly, I'm so glad you pointed out the grammar and writing aspect... I'm not perfect, and in fact this is one of my poorest-written fics, but I'm constantly working to improve, and I really appreciate that someone noticed, because this fandom is PLAGUED with poorly-written drivel, and so much smut that makes me want to fork my eyes out! Michael deserves better. ...Thank you again for a review that lit up my day. :)

Eeeeeeee! This is so fun! You have captured my attention! I can't wait to see how Hermione's plan plays out - and how Michael will react lol! I'd love for you to continue! This is a very creative idea!!!



Author's Response: Thank you!! I'm so glad you like it so far! I don't write a lot of PG fics (actually, it's pretty much only my MJ fics that are PG), so this one was really supposed to be fun and magical. Like I said in the notes- this is my present to MJ. I've just added the 2nd part where Hermione meets MJ... Enjoy! :)
