About me:

Hi, everyone.  I'm a long-time HP fan, but new to reading and writing HP fanfics.  Of course Harry and Severus are favorites, but I really like almost all the characters.

I'm a preschool teacher, and happily married with two children who also love HP.  Other things to know about me?  Hmm, I love horseback riding, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.  I love coming to talk with other fans on the internet, and I love reading fanfics.

    Aw, that was so cute! I loved it. Harry really can be quite sneaky when he wants to be, can't he? Maybe he should open his own detective agency once he's finished off Voldemort.

    I would pay good money to see a picture of Snape building his gingerbread house, too. That was hilarious!

    The teachers snitching candy off the trees is very funny, too. But really, Flitwick was asking for trouble--decorating with all those yummy sweets and not expecting people to eat them? No way that's going to work!

    Author's Response: Thanks, Kristeh! :) I really appreciate your comments!! Hehe, it would be entertaining if Harry did have a detective agency after finishing off Voldemort. But don't give me story ideas! Ah! I have to finish my current projects. XD Maybe I can bribe someone to draw Snape caught with his gingerbread house. Tehe. Thanks once again!

Post-war, with two most unlikely survivors.

    Wow, that was beautiful! Sad and bittersweet, but Harry is at peace and that's something. It was poignant when Snape realized that his purpose in surviving was to care for Harry, and I'm glad that there are a few others who care for him, too.

Halloween one-shot. This is a story set place in the Muggleville universe, if our characters had stayed as long as Halloween. Kind of a stand alone piece set in an alternate future.

Reviewer: Kristeh (Signed)
    Aw, that was the cutest, sweetest story! There were some hilarious parts, too. I loved Harry wanting a real ray gun. I can just see him running around zapping people, and wanting his hair green/teal.

    It was quite sweet of Snape to take Harry shopping for a Halloween costume and trick-or-treating. He even made the effort to fit in by wearing his own costume. I was proud of him.

    I laughed at the idea of him staying home and passing out real lizards' eyes, too. Those probably wouldn't be a big hit.

    Anyway, I loved this story!

    Author's Response: Haha thank you! I loved reading your review. :)

After the war, Severus Snape is looking for Harry Potter and something that only Harry can give him.

Title: Chapter 1: Forgiveness by the Thames 03 Feb 2010
Reviewer: Kristeh (Signed)
    Wow, that was really powerful! And so beautiful too. I loved it. Harry is so mature and wise beyond his years, but that is appropriate after all he has suffered. He never really had a chance to be a child anyway.

    I hope Severus will take his advice and forgive himself. He has done all he can to atone, and now he needs to make the most of his life.

    A really beautiful story!

At the Dursleys the summer after Sirius' death, Voldemort sends werewolves to attack Harry. Taken to Grimmauld Place by his rescuer, Severus Snape, Harry devises a disastrous plan to rescue Sirius from the veil, resulting in his being transfigured into a baby. Snape is the only one who can brew the potion to restore him, and is the only one to realize that Harry still retains his 16 year-old-mind. Over the summer and the first two potions which restore him to age eleven, Harry begins to feel that Snape is the only one who understands and can protect him. Is he right or has his deaging muddled his thinking? AU story for 6th year.

Title: Chapter 26: Settling in to Hogwarts 15 Nov 2007
Reviewer: Kristeh (Signed)
    Oh, I'm so glad to see this story updated again! And it's such a great chapter, too!

    I just love Severus here. He's so protective and loving. It's really endearing how much it means to him to be awarded custody of Harry. And he reminds me of any new father, when he's planning how to care for Harry and to buy him proper clothes and new shoes.

    Sad, though, that he could think that Harry might just cut Severus out of his life once he's of age. And it shows that he still doesn't know everything about Harry, because I imagine Harry will be utterly devoted to him for the rest of their lives.

    I'm not sure what to think of Draco right now. Part of me does feel some sympathy for him, but he needs a good smack upside the head, too. Part of me would just like Harry to have Severus to himself, but I am curious to see what you're planning with Draco. I sure hope Severus knows what he's doing with those protective wards, though, cause I'm not sure I trust Draco too much at this point.

    Looking forward to more! And quickly, pretty, pretty please!!!

Severus Snape is the new Headmaster of Hogwarts, and needs a new DADA teacher. Will he be able to swallow his pride and approach Harry Potter?

    That was really beautiful! I love how mature Severus and Harry are, and it would be wonderful to see some more of this, how they interact and rebuild the school together.

    Hi, I've actually been reading your story for a while, but I have to admit that I've been lazy about reviewing. Sorry about that.

    Anyway, it's a great story, and I enjoy it.

    I like how Severus manages to involve himself, without really knowing it, and how he can't help but feel some sympathy when he sees how badly hurt Harry is, and that he recognized the signs of previous abuse.

    Author's Response: That's cool, I'm not always quick on responding to reviews, as you can tell ;)  I'm glad you're enjoying the story, and thanks for reviewing!

Reviewer: Kristeh (Signed)
    It was insightful of McGonagall to get Severus to admit to Harry that he too was abused. Severus might not have wanted to share the information, but it did help Harry to open up a little, and it can be a starting point for some empathy between the two of them.

    Author's Response: I like to think she knew *exactly* what she was doing when she said that :)

Reviewer: Kristeh (Signed)
    Aw, I wanted to cry when Harry thought Severus was going to beat him. That was really heartbreaking, and those Dursleys---well, nothing is too bad for them!

    It's obvious how much Severus has come to care for Harry and I only hope that banishing all his belts was enough to reassure Harry.

    It's interesting that Harry cast a Silencing Charm on himself, it explains why he's gone so long without speaking. Totally understandable, too. Not being able to speak got him something he'd never had before--an adult who loved him. It's just sad that Harry fears losing it all if he gets well.

    I hope you'll update again soon. I can't wait for the next chapter!

    Author's Response: Harry was doing all right until he realized he had done accidental magic.  Poor thing.  And yes, Harry certainly has his reasons for keeping silent, which will be expanded upon in a future chapter.
