About me:

Hi, I'm Kim.  I live in Pennsylvania.  I have three children but two have grown and moved out.  One is still fairly young.  I've homeschooled the children most of their lives so I haven't worked in quite a few years.  I run a website called Spirit Talks where mediums meet and help others to hear from those who've passed.  We're on Hiatus right now as my web building software disappeared and none was included in my new computer's op system.     I love Harry Potter and the world of fanfiction associated with it.  Who knew there were so many talented and wonderfully imaginative people out there willing to give more life to characters who must rest for years between adventures?  I'm just glad there is!

Severus contemplates his life after Voldemort and settles into an anonymous retirement away from the wizarding world until fate strikes with an advertisement from a very recognisable former thorn in his side. Winner for Best Challenge Answer in the 2010 Challenge Fest. Response to the Potions Tutor Needed Challenge by Jan_AQ.

    That was so sweet! I love the way you made your way to such a happy ending. Fantastic!

    Thanks. I really appreciate the review and the kind thoughts.

One dash Potter, one sprig Snape. Mix well. The result? A Potter-Snape potion (story) with the ability to see beyond prejudices, reach common ground, and help one another heal from past wounds and present dangers. Eventually. Post GOF.

    Great story! I love the spirit of Lily getting Snape to save her son. And Harry's last line was terrific!

    Great chapter! I loved the ending, especially, with Harry refusing to use the cube. Sounds like a great fuure moment in the making. The pain and feelings Harry was having were very realistic. I can remember feeling that way but would never have remembered enough to be able to describe it for a story. Great job!

Severus thinks it was bad enough being seventeen the first time around. Having to live through it a second time is surely a severe penance he doesn't deserve. 2010 Challenge Fest entry. Response to the Student Snape Challenge by Foolish Wishmaker.

    I've always loved your work but this is one of the most amazing chapters in HP fandom. I don't know what else to say. It's simply wonderful.

All Harry wanted was a few happy memories of his parents, yet, when he fails in the attempt, it might very well cost his life. 2010 Challenge Fest Entry. In answer to the Potions Poisoning Challenge by Jan_AQ.

    Really wonderful story! I wasn't sure until the end whether Harry would live. I'm so glad he did and all is well now. LOVED how you killed Voldemort!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!

    To be quite honest, I hadn't decided whether I was going to let Harry live or die until about halfway through writing. Glad to know I wasn't entirely predictable! Furthermore, as a lover of irony, I couldn't resist the temptation of making Voldie's own arrangance contribute largely to his second demise.

    Glad you enjoyed the tale - thanks for the R&R!

    I liked it. No one ever tells Snape he'd have made a good Gryffindor even though he was the bravest man Harry ever knew and Gryffindors are known for bravery. I wonder why no one ever days that. Great job!

    Author's Response: lol. yup!

    Author's Response: LOL!  if anyone ever did tell Snape that, it would ove deff. been harry!

Severus Snape is a spy by nature and by training. As such it infuriates him when he realizes that he knows virtually nothing about the real Harry…other than the fact that Harry keeps a journal. Using his own invisibility cloak, Severus sneaks into the Gryffindor tower while the students are at the leaving feast and exchanges the journal's specially matched ever-sharp quill with a quill of his own that has been charmed to a parchment in Severus' possession so that everything Harry writes is copied to the parchment. What does Harry write, and what happens when Severus realizes that they are kindred spirits. 2010 Challenge Fest entry. Response to Pen Pals by dianehc.

    I love it. Very nice story. Great idea to have Snape want to try to figure him out. Worked out beautifully. I hope you change your mind about that nasty little "The End" thing.

An unfortunate potions accident leaves Harry free of inhibition and forced to tell the truth, no matter the consequences. Winner for Best Story in the 2010 Challenge Fest. Response to the Another Potions Accident Challenge by Ebbtide.

    Aw, that was really cute. Poor Harry! I love your story. I can only imagine what summer is going to be like for Harry as he answers question after question. Great story!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Kim. Yeah, summer is going to be an "experience" for Harry.; that is for sure.

     

    Oh, and I'd love some more of, "I Don't Want This" too!


Severus Snape and Harry Potter think that they know everything about each other. However, when Headmaster Dumbledore persuades his Potions Master to give duelling lessons to the youngest Triwizard Champion, events unfurl which will change both their lives forever. 2010 Challenge Fest entry.

    Hagrid! I love Hagrid. I've always wanted to do a story in which he adopts Harry. Great idea!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^. I adore Hagrid too and I though that, seeing that this story is rather gritty, a little fluff wouldn't go amiss. Besides, Hagrid and Severus would make a good team; Hagrid resects Severus and would (probably) take his advice on which creatures consitute sensible pets lol!
