    Great story............and it's funny that Severus doesn't want a puppy. Little does he know that Harry winds up with a much more exotic pet.

    Thanks again

    Author's Response:

    Hilarious, isn't it?

    Poor Sev, he doesn't know what he's in for, LOL!


Severus has but one wish for Christmas--that his children quit fighting and get along for the holidays. Will it come true? Or is it merely wishful thinking?

A Christmas story set in the Never Again series.

    Another great one..........I'd love to see this family through adolescence.

    Thanks again

    Author's Response: You will, I have plans for another full length novel soon, with 14 year old Harry and Lexy and five year old Eileen, plus Inky, all their friends, and Severus and Alaina.  This was a fun story to write and hopefully people will like the message in it. Thanks for reviewing.

A mysterious encounter with a silver wolf teaches Harry and Severus an important lesson.

Follow up to my one-shot, Snowflakes and Memories.

    Another great story. You really brought Harry's childlike trust and wonder to life. Great job!

Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    I am really enjoying your story. it is extremely well written and the dialogue is fabulous.

    However, I must confess that I find this immature, almost psychotic version of Harry unbelievable. Where is his Gryffindor courage? I don't think he would deliberately deceive his parents again. It's totally out of character with the Harry we know always wanting to please those he loves.

    Author's Response:

    The Harry in my version has ben abused much more than the canon Harry. That changes people and that's the reason why the Harry in my story behaves like he does. I always use the kids at my work as a reference for his behavior. They are abused, neglected.... Harry is still unsure about his place in the family. He really wants to make everything right and that they are proud of him but has problems to do it. The potion is an easy way out. The other problem is that Harry feels powerless against the adults that want to rule his life. All the other years he managed almost everything alone and now he has to accept that other people decide what's best. Harry doesn't feel comfortable enough to express his feelings open to Ivy andSeverus and so he tries to achieve his goal behind their backs. That's way he still wants to brew the potion.

    I hope I could explain to you my reasons why Harry behaves like he does.

    Thank you very much for your review!


When 10-year-old Harry goes on an early morning shopping trip for Severus’s birthday present, he discovers a girl half-frozen in the snow in Diagon Alley. Little does he know that his encounter with the snow girl will change his family forever, for she harbors a secret past and a singular gift that could bring an enemy down upon them all unknowing. Tale partially based on “The Little Match Girl” by Hans Christian Anderson.

Sequel to A Wolf in Winter, part of the Snowy Encounters series.

    The fight was brilliant. The only thing that I would,ve liked better was if Shadow could have taken a bite out of their asses!

    As always, great chapter!

    Author's Response:

    You mean Silver, right?

    And I'd have liked that too, maybe next time someone starts something, Silver will teach them a good lesson too.
