About me:

I am an assistant librarian at a technical college in Georgia.

 I spent four years in the Navy, where I met my husband, a Senior Chief. We have been married about over 30 years. We have one son, who is in the Army (where did we go wrong??!).

 I love the HP universe, but my favorite character is Severus Snape.

    Oh, good one. Severus is going to use Avery for potions parts (if he can't get Dumbledore to act).

    You, you are going to do all 7 books?! WooHoo.

    AGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

    You can't have Harry bet Voldie and then die. Severus would be very upset.

    Sorry about RL and glad for the update.

    Author's Response: I would never want to upset Severus, no way no how. :)  Thanks for reviewing!

    Rats and he tried so hard. Unfortunately, Severus will have to learn that sometimes his snakes must fight their own battles.

    I love the fact that like his mother, Harry shows some artistic ability. Hopefully, Severus will get him some lessons.

    First, I love Severus's different names for Harry. He must make them up on the spot in order to keep sane dealing with "the Boy who will Give his Head of House gray hairs way before it's time."

    Harry is very powerful - I am wondering if it is inborn or if a lot of it came from Voldie.

    As for the last part, Severus really has the "I am parent (or guardian) - you are child" look down pat.

    Author's Response: I get a lot of compliments on those made up epithets; I love writing them!  I'm setting up the possibility, yes, that Harry's excess power is from Voldie.  And I know I've been the recipient of that LOOK a few times.  It's not something a kid can ever forget!  Thank you for your review!

    I loved it. Hopefully, Harry can realize his desire to be with Severus and get a good home life.

    Severus could put the Dursleys asleep for two weeks or let them know that they have another house guest - a rather nasty one - idiot headmaster.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review!  Having Sev be a houseguest of the Dursleys might be fun.  For us observers, anyway.  :-)

    Oh no, of all people to hear that conversation, it had to be Harry.

    Too bad for Draco that he couldn't make a couple of scores (and that his mum wasn't there)

    Those three (the silver Slytherin Trio) are going to be in so much trouble.

    Author's Response:

    I know, honestly, what was I thinking?! :)

    Yeah, but he'll have a bigger role later.

    Indeed. (said in a deep, dark, snarky, Snape-ish sneer) 

    Thanks for the review!

    Please, let them reconcile. I hate it when they are enemies.

    Oh, well,good story - glad they didn't get in trouble over Norbert. Hagdrid really had no common sense.

    Author's Response:

    Hagdrid really had no common sense.  Or at the very least, should never have been entrusted to keep secrets.  Thanks for the review!

    What a lovely Christmas present!! Glad that Snape finally got to the bottom of the problem (and Harry's bottom may feel a slight bit warm when this is all over.)

    I hope RL gets better for you.

    Author's Response: Well, I don't do CP stories, but I know what you mean.  Harry's unlikely to come out of the scheme unscathed one way or the other.  Thanks for your review!

    Oh, that was well worth the wait. I am so glad that they had their talk.

    Looking forward to the weeks with the Dursleys. It may be the only time Harry enjoys it as well.

    Awaiting more with great longing.

    Yes, I like the ending and am looking forward the next one/

    I am so glad that Snape saw through Dumbledore's acts. We all "liked" Dumbledore because the first person Harry mets, Hagdrid, said that Dumbledore was a great man and everyone went along with it.

    In another fiction, called Accountable, Percy finally said why he didn't trust Dumbledore.

    Year one: Ron goes up against a DL and gets rewarded for it.

    Year Two:let two children go up against a Basilisk (the kids figured it out before the greatest wizard in the land) and Harry was rewarded again.

    year three: after Ron's leg was broken, Dumbledore sent Harry and Hermione out after a werewolf, a dangerous rat and dementors

    year four: D could have put the cup in his office but then let Harry compete and put Ron in the middle of the water where he could have died.

    Looking at it from Percy's point of view, the least trustworthy person in the wizarding world was Albus Dumbledore.

    Author's Response:

    Looking at it from Percy's point of view, the least trustworthy person in the wizarding world was Albus Dumbledore.

    Got to agree with you (and/or Percy) there.  Or, at least Dumbles is the least responsible Headmaster there has ever been, not so much looking out for the welfare of his charges as putting them in constant danger and then patching them up afterwards if he can. 

    Thanks for reviewing!
