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!

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.

    I am really enjoying this and I hope that there's a lot more to come. Its very well written, believable, and interesting to boot. I just love it.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much for your compliments, and most of all for your explanation on how Dumbledore made you feel. I'm striving for a more human Dumbledore - meddlesome, yes, but human - and to know that someone else sees that gives me a great sense of accomplishment! <3

AU / Death Eaters besiege Hogwarts. A spell from Dumbledore is going astray. A cauldron explodes during potions class. And the old castle enfolds its own magic. Can some students survive the next twenty-one days?

    Interesting story. I'm looking forward to the next installment. I'm really curious to see where you're going with it.

AU. Harry is sorted into Slytherin. How different would Harry's life have been if he had never been a Gryffindor?

    I like your story. Harry standing up for Hermione is perfectly Harry like. Though in canon he did hold predjudices against the Slytherins in some ways, the rest of his personality seems to suggest that he wouldn't allow someone to hurt if he could help it, and he wouldn't care what others thought of him for doing something about it. That's my favorite part of your story so far. The rest is really good, too. I like how the first years came back to Harry's side the minute he needed help. Good story!

After arriving back at school a week early, Harry's new school year is set to be filled with mystery and adventure. Who is the Whispering Man and what does his presence at Hogwarts mean? Is the Wizarding World safe now that He Who Must Not Be Named is returning to power? Join the adventure as Harry, Ron and Hermione navigate their Fourth Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

    I'm enjoying your story. I love your new teacher but I especially loved how poor Malfoy's first Defense class went. Your characters are quite, well, in character, and believable and funny, too. Great work!

    Author's Response: Wow, thank you thank you thank you!! Glad you like Prof. Ferro! I really did love being mean to Malfoy - is that wrong..? Excellent, glad my characters are believable and pleased you find them funny!! Here's your Chocolate Frog, virtual card and all!!

    I hadn't checked for updates at P&S for months, and when I finally remembered to, I saw you'd updated several chapters. I was thrilled, and you didn't disappoint. This is an excellent story. I truly love the fun between Harry and Ron and Fred and George, and, well, every other student that's acted like the kids they are in your story. The teachers are great, too. I really love Ferro and FINALLY we hear who The Whispering Man is. Impressive twist! Your story is just plain fun. Thanks so much for sharing it. But please fix Harry quickly, the poor boy is going to have a heart attack if he stays in this state much longer!

    Author's Response:

    Oh, what an absolutley wonderful review, thank you so much!! Haha, yes, the Whispering Man is no longer a mystery - thank god.

     Writing at the moment, so I hope to update soon!! Again, thank you so much for this review, it made me smile so much!!

    P.S. So glad you like Ferro, too!! 


If especially strong-willed, sometimes the dead can interfere with the events of the living. Lily Evans is a very strong-willed woman and is not happy with the course of events in her son's life. She is planning, and slowly building her energy so that she can step in and set things to right.
