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!

Two souls contemplate their futures in a world where their lives are not their own. One of them makes a choice for both of them. AU - takes place before the Final Battle, and discounts the existence of horcruxes.

    A perfect ending to a long, horrible tale. I loved it.

    Author's Response: *bows* Thank you!

One single choice leads Remus Lupin to visit the child of his fallen friends, where he sees firsthand the cruelty enacted by the boy’s relatives and makes a decision that changes not only the life of the young boy he’s always loved, but also the life of a broken young man who has been alone for far too long.

    Very sweet! I loved it. I can picture a happy life for them both from here on out.

    Author's Response: Don't forget Remus! He needs a little happiness in his life. Thanks for the review. :)

AU of Deathly Hallows. Severus Snape didn't die in the Shrieking Shack, and is on trial as a Death Eater. With Albus Dumbledore dead, it falls to Harry Potter to aid in proving his innocence. Of course, things are never that simple, and there's another small problem that Harry has to take care of.

    Excellent story so far. I wish I could fast forward past the stuff that must come in between and head straight to the "Snape Meets His Son" part. That's gonna be hard to wait for.

    Author's Response:

    I'm right there with you, to an extent.

    But, I plan to make the ride worth it. There's another chapter added, just awaiting validation, so it should be there within the next 24 hours to (hopefully) really catch everyone off-guard.

    Oh dear. What a terrible twist. Though it isn't something it would surprise me to see the ministry do. Good chapter and quick updating. Love it!

    Author's Response:

    Glad you're enjoying it!

    The Ministry isn't known for being all that level-headed at the best of times. But, it's a government, so keep in mind that not all parts of the Ministry are necessarily in agreement with everything it does. And, I'm basing parts of it off of real government, so the Child Welfare division is pretty autonomous from the actual judiciary and legislative branches.

    There will be lots of fallout, none of it pretty. But, it will certainly make things a good deal more difficult for everyone involved, that's for sure!

    Thanks for the review!


As far as Harry knew, it was all some sort of experiment that only Dumbledore could understand. He had no idea that the cat he had been given to keep him company instead of Hedwig over the holidays before his 3rd year, was in fact, his hated Potions Master in disguise.

Because of the Azkaban escapee, Sirius Black, Severus is sent to stay with Harry during the entire summer, never making a sound nor leaving the boy's side. He could not speak, nor could he defend Harry against anyone other than the criminal on the loose, however Severus does something that no other adult in Harry's life had done before...he listened.

    Very good, I love it! And clever name you picked. I didn't see that coming even when he was named Seven. I can't wait for more.

Answer to Romanticide's challenge Correct Answers: How would things change if Harry had studied before Potions and answered all Snape's questions perfectly, then became a model student? Would Snape see more of Lily in Harry then?

    Excellent story! I especially loved the ending.

“At least my dad wasn't a bully like you!” The moment the child shouted those words, something inside Severus snapped. Not a bully? James Potter not a bully?

    That story was, in all ways, just completely wonderful.

    Author's Response: I'm not sure if I believe you, but thank you so much ;)

Aftermath of Philosopher's Stone. An eleven-year-old boy killed a man and all they did was pat him on the head and send him off to bed. Severus finds himself put in the uncomfortable role of Father Confessor. Oneshot.

    Excellent! Your story is well written, unique and heartbreaking. I wish it hadn't ended here.

After an incident at the Dursley's, Harry finds he needs help. Will this be the catalyst for two unlikely characters forming a respectful relationship between one another, or are we kidding ourselves that one of the two can ever overcome his bitterness..

    Wonderful Chapter! Harry's thoughts were great. Snape with Petunia was just what we all need to see. Good work.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much!

    Glad it was to your taste.  Can't have too much Sev/Petunia conflict, as far as I am concerned... ;)

    :D

Albus Dumbledore admits he often asks too much, but this time he has decided to ask something altogether different. With the shadows of war encircling them all, it will take incredible wit and strength to see his soldiers through to the end. What he needs, more than anything, is for them to work together - and Albus is nothing if not full of ideas on how to make the impossible happen.

    Well done. You brought Albus Dumbledore and his castle to brilliant life and light. Your Dumbledore's reflections explain so much of his actions in the canon story that are usually left untouched, that it's possible to continue to love and be angry with him even as we develop a deaper understanding of him. Most stories tell you to either love or hate him, but yours makes him human. Love it!
