About me:

I have been writing fan fiction for the Harry Potter series since 2007.  I blame my boss, who told me about this wonderful, whacky world of fans writing impossible stories for tales that they love.  I generally write strange pairings when i'm not focused on the fguardian relationship between harry and Severus.  My other works can be found on Archive of Our Own under the same pen-name, though be warned, some are fairly dark.

I am a red head (go gingers!), a dog groomer by trade, close to half a century old, and am also an avid animal lover.  In my spare time, I care for three dogs and a husband who is not only odd, but comes from the island of Borneo.  While he doesn't share my affinity for telling tales, he does love animals and has a terrific sense of humor that shows itself at odd times.  I am the proud step-monster to three children and step-grandmonster to one and half grandchildren  (My oldest daughter is due in September! (Woot!)

Thanks for reading this, and feel free to check out my stories.

Harry's furious, Snape's easily angered. Suddenly, stewing rages can no longer be contained, and with magic forgotten, the two notable characters have a free-for-all fist match in the Hallway of Hogwarts. Consequences? Of course. Answer to Fic Fest Challenge #20

    If you're sick, what does that make me? I loved reading it.

Voldemort is dead, but the world is going to hell anyway. Harry is forced to go into hiding as Snape's son. Little does he know, it isn't just a useful disguise.

    I do like how you're portraying Snape, but I still wish that he had LISTENED to Harry about the gifts. That was the one thing in canon that I found most irritating. Snape should have known neglect when he saw it.

    Author's Response: Yes, he's very frustrating that way. He has blinders on and he will only see and hear what he expects. Harry, unfortunately, has learned not to share too much (even with his best friends) and throws these statements out in a way that makes it easy for others to dismiss. Obviously, I'll try to nudge Snape toward having a better understanding of Harry's childhood. For now he's just filing the info away.

    I think Snape is beginning to suspect that not everything that comes out of Harry's mouth is a lie or exaggeration. Good job on the chapter.

A duel with Draco leads to drastic and permanent consequences for both Harry and Severus.

    I loved the way you broke the spell. It's very Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella without the mushy stuff. Glad to see you are writing again. Keep it coming!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you, Tambra!  

    >>>It's very Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella...

    Oh, interesting observation.  I hadn't really thought of it like that, but I'm glad you think it compares.

    Aw, Remus had a crush on a teacher. That's so sweet.

    Loved the chapter, and thanks for sharing it. It was good that even Severus got to drink to Sirius' memory. They may not have gotten on in life, but his sacrifice meant a great deal to both Harry and Severus.

    Great job.

    Author's Response: LOL  Poor Remus.  :oP  And thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!  Always appreciated.

    That was really cute. I can see a little kid getting confused about Father Christmas and Batman... erm Dumbledore and Snape. Good job.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!  Batman and Snape...it's a very easy mix up to make, you know!  I bet if Albus wore red on the first night of school, a lot of Hogwarts firsties might think he's Father Christmas, lol.  I'm glad you liked it!

    -P.G. 


Harry's relatives abandon him on the playground at age six. Who should find him but the one and only, Severus Snape.

    The only thing I think you need to add to this story is a sequel. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

Reviewer: tambrathegreat (Signed)
    Oh my god. I'm still laughing. My Little Ponies are insidious, evil and quite outside the realm of a fair prank war. Your Dumbledore is Evil with a capital E.

    I liked the subtle hints of admiration you showed for Hermione by Severus. I LOVED that Harry had to be silenced by a charm before either Hermione or Snape hexed him.

    The Howler was just sweetness, but the Green charm was brilliant. Loved the story, loved the characterisations and I LOVED the My little ponies.

    Author's Response: <eg>  Thank You.  That was the most embarassing thing I could think of for the collection...but I just couldn't force poor Snape to actually collect the things of his own free will; thus Dumbledore.  I figured Harry's reaction would be a lot like mine was, whent he idea first hit!  ::still snickering::

    I like that there was no resolution to the matter for the readers. Good job on a story that could have made Lily out to be a very naughty and not so savory individual. (We already know the rest aren't so savory, so I suppose it's okay for them.)

Reviewer: tambrathegreat (Signed)
    I honestly wanted to see more of their life in New Zealand. This really was a great fic, and the thought of Snape taking Harry away from the 'destiny' that Dumbledore had lined up for him, even if he didn't have his magic, was enchanting. I loved that Hermione was smart enough to see how the situation was going to go down, and left. Too bad for the Weasleys.

    Great job.
