About me:

I'm Moriyah, a 28 year old lover of words who discovered fanfiction at 14...14 years ago, dear Lord.  Though I love writing, procrastintaion and a tendancy to get wrapped up in work means that several stories have been on hold for years. Getting back into it is so difficult when you've been away. I'm currectly an Advanced EMT, Firefighter and on a Covid Taskforce in West Virginia while in Paramedic Class. This has been the busiest year of my life, and reminded me how much I missed the quiet joy of sharing what you love with others, in particular, stories.

Reviews by Scorpia

Harry is heartbroken by memory of his father bulling Snape and isn't sure where to continue from there. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much time to mourn, because when Snape finds him, he is furious at the invasion of privacy. Once dragged to the man's quarters, Harry learns that it's best not to make his Potions Professor snap.

Too late.

    Interesting concept, :) Is this 3rd year? If Wormtail's been eaten, then Voldemort's return will be hindered, correct? Because it was only with Wormtail's help and Barty Crouch's son that he returned.

    Author's Response: Ah no, sorry to disappoint, but that was only Ophion, the snake, dreaming. Ophion is Harry's pet snake in my story "love is a charm" and "love is a haven" Ophion woke up at the end, startled by Harry - his master.

    I like this chapter! Might want to fix the comma placement though.

    "Whatever you want.", Severus said,

    That should be, "Whatever you want," Severus said,

    Same for all other talking scenes that continue with, Severus said, Severus whispered, Harry said, blah, blah.

    Watching out for more!

    Author's Response: Yeah I have that comma issue, I'll change it some day... in the future... hopefully... :P

The term continues on after Sirius' death, and Harry Potter is not okay. Wandering about aimlessly, Harry attempts to be who everyone wants him to be while slowly coming undone. Life has never been easy for The Boy Who Lived in the Cupboard Under the Stairs, but this is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Will anybody notice that Harry Potter is breaking? Is there hope? Perhaps it will soon ring true that "not all who wander are lost."

    You certainly have a way with words, it reads like poetry, just lovely! I also like your version of Snape, he notices, but doesn't get involved...yet. ^_^ Can't wait for more, hope you'll have time to write! Thanks for sharing!

    Author's Response: Thanks for reading! I will have a new one up within the next week. School is pretty crazy but writing helps me decompress :) 

"I see you still have no end of dunderheaded ideas," Snape grumbled, shooting Harry a mutinous glare. It might have been more effective if his tone had not been so high-pitched, or if he didn't currently stand at a height just below Harry's shoulder.

    How sweet! Love the idea of re-visiting childhood, and for Harry a childhood he'd never really had, they could both use a good douse of fun after what they've been through. Thank you for sharing!

    Author's Response:

    Thaaanks! I thought some fun for our boys would be in order, myself. I found myself rather enamored by this version of the two of them... I may have to write another story with them at some point.

    Anyhow, that's besides the point - thanks for the R&R! <3 


On Halloween when the house elves decide that the demands on them are too much, and the appreciation too little, students and staff are forced to fend for themselves. For the unofficial Halloween challenge 2014. A Halloween and the week that follows story. A one-shot. This is also in response to JanAQ's House Elves In Revolt Challenge.

Title: Chapter 1: Not An Elf 03 Nov 2014
Reviewer: Scorpia (Signed)
    Hey! Finally got to sit down and read this wonderfully long one-shot, ^_^
    A few typos I found while reading. 'Coming' in the first sentence is written as 'comming'. And again when the little Ravenclaw boy is saying, "I mean, if the elves aren't comming back?"
    When the house elves and students decide to make stuff to show appreciation to Harry, Dobby says 'comming'.

    When Evan breaks the bowl, "Forget it," Harry says, we'll clean it up later. Go get more.
    There are no quotation marks on the end of his last sentence.

    When Dumbledore finds them and says "There," He said with a smile." There is quotation marks after smile.

    I laughed so hard at "Hufflepuff's got ham!" That was fantastic.

    When Harry says 'Yes maam' to McGonagall, there needs to be that little mark, whatever it's called, 'Yes ma'am."

    There are end quotation marks after Harry is directing Dean and Parvati what to do in the kitchen, but he isn't done speaking yet. --Dean and Parvati" slice the meat thin....

    Snape with an apron on had me smiling, :D

    Weird is spelt as 'wierd' when Harry leaves Snape to go up to the great hall to eat. Amounts is spelt as ammounts.
    Because is spelt as becuase, twice.

    The mental image of Draco 'stirring oatmeal in as lazy a manner as possible' love it!

    And aww at the ending! It's so good that Snape's eyes were opened at last and that Harry won't have to return to the Dursleys. :) Overall a very nice one-shot! Hope you don't mind me pointing out the typos, some people that review my stories don't ever point out where they are at in the stories, just say that they are there and it drives me loco! Thank you so much for sharing!

    Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the story.  I don't have spell check because I'm on Word Pad instead of MS Word like I used to be, and I frequently write stories late into the night so there are usually spelling errors.

Snape is forced to spend time with Harry at Privet Drive while the boy comes to terms with his impending death.

    Very nicely written! I would go back though and try to fix the spacing between POV switches, it's quite big.
    Over than that, I can't wait for the next chapter! :D

    Author's Response: Thanks. Yeah, I just got finished fixing that. Didn't realize it was so big. :P. Glad you liked it. :).
