About me:

I'm a teen from the U.S. Although I have yet to write my own Snape and Harry piece, I love reading them! My favorites are guardian pieces. I've written a lot of Lily pieces over at fanfiction.net under the name spinningleaves, and I've started to post my own original work at fictionpress.com under the penname waterleaves.

Reviews by waterleaves

A near tragedy and a shocking discovery lead two bitter enemies to much soul searching and eventual acceptance of each other. Much angst along the way though. Some Ginny and Harry.

    Oh dear! Harry's not a happy camper right now. I really love this scene and the way you show Severus's conflict with his nature and doing what's best for Harry. Excellent! I can't wait to see how Ron reacts to Harry and if they fight it out! oh dearr!!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for your comments. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Ron coming up next chapter.

    Wow. Very sad and tragic, and really believable. The idea of the victors making the rounds at the hospital is very striking. As is the idea that Snape has given up his last tie of Lily to live, and yet in so many ways he doesn't even want to. Excellent!

    Well done!

Harry Potter is badly abused by the Dursleys, but he finds a new way to defend himself. Could this be "the Power the Dark Lord knows not"? Who is going to help Harry? Harry-Snape bonding/mentorship. AU Pre-HBP

    Oo interesting stuff! What on Earth is Snape going to say to this child? And I wonder how long it will take for Harry to open up? Great start!!!

Five-year-old Harry likes 'Baltines Day'. Completely AU. Just a short, cute child fic.

    Aww. Just plain cute is what that is! Nice work! Haha Baltine's day! I'm not sure if in the title it would be best to capitalize the start of each word? Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!

A response to both P&S Winter Fic Fest and the Burnt Hedwig Challenge. However, many of the challenge details have been altered. Hedwig is injured, and must seek help for Harry. One-shot. Some Chamber of Secrets details have been changed from canon.

    Aww soooooo great! Where his voice sizzles like raindrops on hot pavement. That is such a great example of imagery and detailed language. Especially the idea that Harry is Snape's boy. And also the idea of Hedwig's owner before Harry- actually the entire thing really! Haha so well done you should be incredibly proud!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!  The more I write, the more I truly understand the phrase "show, don't tell."  At first I thought it just meant, "don't summarize; show the action."  Now I realize I can show with imagery instead of telling what someone is feeling or doing.

    And I am proud of that raindrops imagery; thanks for noticing it!  :)


A simple act of kindness can make someone’s day. Or, What goes around, comes around.

    Awww great ending line. I really like the eyeglass reasoning for why Harry wouldn't remember the experience as he gets older. Its convenient and it comes across as very valid as well.

On a Christmas Eve a year after the death of Lily Potter, Severus recalls bittersweet memories of snowflakes and laughter. Then he hears a cry in the night and discovers an unexpected surprise in the snow on his doorstep.

    Aww soo truly and completely adorable. I love the reoccurring wind sprite thing too- very original!

    Author's Response: Thank you, the wind sprites were a sudden inspiration!

When Severus took the Dark Mark, he lost more than he imagined, but with the help of a meddlesome Headmaster and a diary from a time long forgotten, Severus gets a chance at fatherhood, if he himself can survive the encounter. **Rewrite well in progress**

    Aww. This is going to be a veryyy interesting adjustment for them both. I hope Severus realizes things soon!

Title: Chapter 6: Morning Sadness 13 Aug 2008
Reviewer: waterleaves (Signed)
    Wow I loveee it! I really can't wait to see what Albus makes of Harry. And I thought that your idea of making this chapter take place mostly in the gardens was really amazing. It added a really nice, peaceful vibe to the relationship growing between the two. I'd be curious to know what Albus and Severus talked about while Harry was sleeping. Pleaseee do keep writing! I really enjoy the story! Maybe a scene or chapter with Severus taking Harry into Hogsmeade to buy new clothes? or Harry learning about quidditch for the first time!

    Author's Response:

    Yay!  I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!  And yup, you'll get to see/hear the conversation between Harry and Dumbles next chapter.  It should be pretty interesting.

    I like that you enjoyed the setting.  I thought a little inpromtu potions lesson was in order.  And you're right, Harry and Sev are beginning to become more at ease around each other, but that doesn't mean that everything's peachy...

    And there will be some references to the conversation in the night between Sev and Dumbles as well...that conversation really was just leading up to Dumbledore showing up in Spinner's End again...but Sev's still pissed about it.

    It'll be a few chapters later, but Harry and Sev will awkwardly go shopping somewhere.  Sev just has to become more concerned and observent of his son first.

    And I love the idea of Quidditch!!  How ironic that Sev would be the one to teach Harry...since it's kinda assumed that he hates it because of James...LOVE IT!  Thanks so much!

    And thanks for the awesome review!  Don't worry, I will keep writing, until the train ride to Hogwarts, at least.  And I suspect that once I start school again myself that it'll take off.  Thanks again!!
