About me:

Hi there.

I am a 55 year old mother of five grown kids and a grandmother of a beautiful 6 month old granddaughter.

I discovered fan fiction about 18 months ago, but had been writing my own stories before then. I just didn't know that there was such a huge market out there of people who like to read amateur works like mine.

Mind you, some are not so very amateur in content. There are some brilliant writers out there.

I have been obsessed with Harry Potter since buying my then 8 year old son the first three books in the series. I wasn't going to read them but a friend who loves fantasy ( and is even older than me, if you can believe that) encouraged me to do so and an addiction was born.

By the way, I come from Victoria, Australia.

I hope I can give a little bit of pleasure to a lot of people.

Thanks for reading this bio.

Father of Mine by Kodak717 starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 136]
As hidden secrets are revealed, Harry is forced to deal with a most unexpected, and unwanted, development. Sevitus. OOC maybe??? Maybe not???

    It will be interesting to see just what the circumstances are concerning Sev's paternity of HArry. And so Harry Potter is no longer going to look like Harry Potter.

    If he is as self destructive as DD seems to think, I can imagine that these revelations will definitely push him over the edge.

    Still, interested enough to continue. You write very well.

    Author's Response: Harry may change, but I can't really say right now.  And as for Dumbledore in this fic, well... it's best not to take everything he says at face value.  He doesn't lie, exactly, but he will have the tendency to tell people what he thinks they want and/or need to hear.  Thanks for the compliment on the writing.

    Well. fudge just makes a third arm of a foul triumvirate. Why was Fudge so reluctant to say where HArry would be placed. I wonder if it is because he has got it into his head to place Mr Potter with the very well-to-do Malfoys. After all, the Malfoys have always been such wondeful supporters of the Ministry, what with all of those donations.

    I wonder why Sev is so reluctant.

    Author's Response: Nah, Malfoys' in Azkaban now.  But that would have been a very fun path to follow.  Sev is definiately reluctant.

Golden Star by little-sun starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 18]
Harry has a new pet, Severus has a new pet, and there’s a first time for everything. Sorry for killing Hedwig again. Blame JKR for allowing only one familiar.

    You did do another story...great.

    Very interesting development. My Sev in Muggle is also liked by cats. Hee hee.

    This was lovely, and I hope Sev gives Petunia and Vernon what for...put them in a small cage for 24 hours perhaps.

    I presume this is going to be updated?

    Very nicely done.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much, Lesley. Sev is such a cat person! I do not plan on updating this anytime soon. Mila

Sectumsempra - Snape's Perspective by Asterix Tutnix starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 67]
After Harry cast the Sectumsempra spell on Malfoy in HBP, Snape sees it as his responsibility to make Harry feel the consequences. Will what follows change their relationship? The Story starts in the bathroom directly after the curse hit Malfoy and Snape rushed in and healed him. This version is written from Snape's perspective.

Reviewer: wrappedinharry (Signed)
    So, Snape did suggest the caning. And he htought he was going to be done out of his prize when DD asked HArry if he wanted HIM to cane him.

    Once again, DD did not ask eithr Severus or HArry what Draco was doing while Harry cursed him. He wasn't just producing flowers or stars from the end of his wand. But of course, DD and Snape both know what a little darling Draco is...never done anything wrong in his whole Hogwart's career. HE has always been the bullied, not the bully.

    Frustration rearing its ugly head again. Sorry to rant. I just don't like injustice. And Draco getting away scot free isn't fair. Especially considering the fact that both Snape and DD know that Draco is up to something sinister within the school.

    Something I have never thought of before. You would think Madam Pomfrey would have to remove Draco's upper clothing to check his wounds. You would think that she would have had to see the Dark Mark on his arm.

    And if this follows canon to this extent, Severus know Draco is a DE anyway, so he knows he would have been using the darkest curse he could think of against Harry.

    Still ranting...sorry.

    Author's Response:

    I never thought of Madam Pomfrey seeing the Dark Mark either, but you're right. Makes me wonder why even in canon Draco didn't protest when he was taken to the hospital wing....

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me!


Sectumsempra - The Consequences by Asterix Tutnix starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 74]
Having cast the Sectumsempra spell on Malfoy in HBP, Harry has to deal with the consequences. The story is written from Harry’s perspective and starts in the bathroom directly after the curse hit Malfoy and Snape rushed in and healed him.

Title: Chapter 1: After the Spell 03 Dec 2008
Reviewer: wrappedinharry (Signed)
    Nicely written, although it makes my blood boil to think that Malfoy's near use of an unforgivable is always totally overlooked, even in canon, and even by Hermione. If Snape had arrivied in the bathroom to see HArry screaming under the effects of the Crutiatus curse, I suppose he would have patted MAlfoy on the shoulder and said job well done! And as HE invented the Sectumsempra spell, and tried to use it at least once...on JAmes in Snapes Worst Memory, it's reall a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.

    I know that HArry using a spell he had no idea about was totally irresponsible, but I suppose he was thinking that so far, all the unknown spells he had experimented with had been harmless. Though I don't know how he could think a spell with 'for enemies' written after it would be harmless. Foolish, unthinking boy...saying that though, he was in a panicked situation.

    Anyway, I wonder who suggested the corporal punishment. My bet is Snape...he would have been rubbing his hands together in glee (inside his head, anyway.) I do tend to agree with another reviewer who said that DD would never have agreed with the administering of CP, though.

    I wonder whether you address this issue in Snape's perspective. I haven't read any of that yet.

    Thank you for an interesting read.

    Lesley

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for your detailed review!

    Yes, I do address this issue in Snape's perspective. And I agree it seems unfair that Malfoy isn't punished as well. As you pointed out, he isn't in canon, either, and not even for almost killing two students (Katie and Ron), as DD feared Voldemort would kill him if he knew DD suspected Draco. I guess it would have been the same if Draco had been expelled or otherwise punished for using Crucio, I guess Voldemort wouldn't have been too pleased about Malfoy endangering his mission so stupidly! So I guess, had Snape arrived in the bathroom to see Harry screaming under the effects of the Crutiatus curse,  he wouldn't have patted Malfoy on the shoulder, but said 'Foolish boy!' . 

    About the pot calling the kettle black, yes, you're right. But well, it's Snape....


Title: Chapter 2: Punishment 03 Dec 2008
Reviewer: wrappedinharry (Signed)
    Oh, didn't he love that, the absolute sadist. I wonder if Harry would have gotten this much of a punishment if the sectumsempra spell had been used against a student in another house.

    He even had to flaunt that Harry was getting the cane. Not a very professional thing to do, I wouldn't have thought.

    Author's Response: Yes, Snape obviously isn't a nice person...

Title: Chapter 3: Talk 03 Dec 2008
Reviewer: wrappedinharry (Signed)
    I can see, through Hermione's POV, that you think that this punishment was fair and reasonable. And still, nobody thinks about the curse that escaped MAlfoy's lips, and only stopped because Harry beat him to the mark. As I said before, Snape would have found them if it had been Malfoy who had Harry on the ground under the Cruciatus curse, but I know he would not have been punished.

    Treat Snape with respect because he didn't taunt HArry during the caning...Hermione is a funny sort of friend, I feel.

    And no, I am not advocating that HArry should not have been punished. But he didn't intend to hurt Malfoy like that, and Sirius DID plan for Snape to be hurt 20 years previously, and DD didn't have him caned.

    Author's Response:

    To be honest, I personally don't agree with Hermione, I think Snape was too severe. It wouldn't have done any harm had he shown more mercy...

    Well, DD's motivation for having harry caned... I have to admit that I have caused a little problem for myself here. I liked the idea of writing Harry's and Snape's perspectives in two different stories, and still do, in fact. A disadvantage is that some things stay in the dark. For example I think it unlikely that DD would reveal his real and entire motivation for allowing Harry's caning to Harry; yes, he gives him some reasons why, but Harry remains ignorant of his discussion with Snape concerning that matter, and so does the reader.


Title: Chapter 4: Detention 03 Dec 2008
Reviewer: wrappedinharry (Signed)
    Snape offers to treat HArry's injuries tomorrow and raises his desk height to make him more comfortable, and yet he smirks at the scars caused by a dark object. It would seem he approves of Umbridges torture sessions last year.

    In canon, Harry was told that nothing would have gotten rid of the scars because they were cursed, just like his lighteningbolt scar.

    I don't know, I find it difficult to forgive Snape as easily as HArry seems to have when little toerags like Malfoy are running around loose.

    I can't wait to read Snapes POV. Maybe I'll feel a little better then.

    In case you can't tell, I loathe Malfoy.

    Lesley

    Author's Response: What? You don't like Malfoy?!  I wouldn't have guessed.... ;)

    Hmm, poor Harry's potions lesson isn't going to be a doddle this time.

    OK, I'm off to read Snape's POV
