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.

    Oh, what a surprise! I hadn't expected Severus to be transported into Tim's body, though it makes perfect sense now. I can't wait to see Severus experience life with the Potter clan.

    I just wanted to let you know that I'm still reading, and loving, all your stories.

    Good luck with the new business!

An accident leads to a discovery, a discovery that neither Harry Potter nor Professor Severus Snape can abide. Now they have to live in the same castle knowing what they know. Each of them has friends who think they should give their relationship a chance. Friends really should mind their own business. Note: The warnings seem ominous but this is not a dark story, quite the contrary. The instances that include the warned of moments will simply be briefly referred to and not minutely examined.

    Oh, Kim, I'm so glad you're writing again! I'm looking forward to re-reading and to all the new elements you'll introduce as welll.

    Poor Harry...horrible Dursleys!

    Can't wait for more!

    Author's Response: Hi Kristeh!  Thank you so much!  I'm glad you wrote, I lost your email when I had another crash to this dumb puter.  We lost so so much in our efforts to write this story.  We had dozens of pages of notes that crashed with the computer last year, forcing us to take a break to try to recover what we could remember.  Fortunately, Tabby has a good memory and remembered our sorting hat song.  But when we got what we could back together we just couldn't fit it all into the pages.  It was just too much.  So pages and pages of notes had to be put aside so we could rewrite the story making fewer main, complicated story lines.  We're fired up now so we have high hopes for quick updates.  I hope you and yours have been well.  Sorry to have disappeared!

When the Order of the Phoenix finds that Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter have been abused by their families, who else comes to their rescue but our favorite Potions Master, Severus Snape? A summer of adventure lies before them as the three bond and learn that maybe accepting each other as family won't be as hard as they originally thought.

    Great beginning! Poor Severus, walking such a fine line is a very difficult strain even without the horrors of being tortured. I'm glad that at least Poppy is there to care for him.

    I can't wait to see where you're going with this!

Christmas break is a lonely time for an eleven-year-old with no friends to spend it with; however, on a walk, he manages to find one in the strangest way. Add to that a Potions Master unaccustomed to silence and it seems three very different beings are in the perfect place at the perfect time to help each other when they need it most, bringing everything together. Entrant into the 2012 prompt fest. Prompts: Bumblebee, Broken teacup.

    Great story, sproutchild! You did a wonderful job showing things from the bee's POV, and I loved how gentle and concerned Harry was with it.

    The interaction between Severus and Harry was great, too! I loved that Severus was seeing Harry with new eyes.

    And I'd love an Antonomasia update too!

    Author's Response: Thank you!! I figured if he was lonely he'd probably befriend anything... next resort was a pet rock :D

    And I think I'd like a new A update too... I'm gonna have time soon to work on that so hopefully in the next month... *my fingers are tentatively crossed ^^*
    Thanks so much for even caring about it at this point ^^ - I'd love anything new from you btw... I think everything you write makes me smile so Im not picky :D

    Hope life's treating you well and thanks! :)

Harry comes to Snape's office to give him a Christmas gift. The wrapping paper had broomsticks and snitches scattered between trees and snowmen. How very predictable. Companion piece to A Box of Every Flavor Beans.

    A very interesting AU beginning. I like the idea of James and Severus being friends. It's off to a great start!

    Can't wait to see Severus with Harry! Good chapter!

Snape puts Harry under a magical leash to keep him out of trouble. But unbeknown to him, Harry has been turned into a vampire, and the leash is causing far more harm than good. Terrified of losing his friends, Harry would rather starve than risk the truth coming out.

    I just wanted you to know how much I'm enjoying your story. It's creative and I love the interaction between characters.

ABANDONED:- When the wards suddenly fall at Privet Drive, members of the Order immediately apparate to the location to find the Dursley parents dead – and their mistreated nephew locked in the cupboard under the stairs. Retrieving the boy is but the start of a long road to recovery. Can time truly heal? Or will even the magic of Hogwarts prove inadequate sanctuary for a wary, abused child?

    Off to a great start, Dream Painter! I can't wait to see Harry growing up at Hogwarts and interacting with the staff.

    Author's Response: Thanks, Kristeh! I have a bunch of ideas, so hopefully it will be a fun read along the way.
