About me:

Hey all. I am soon to be an ESL teacher in South Korea, but am a native of Pennsylvania, USA. I love reading about Snape and Harry's relationship, whether it be Father/Son, Mentor, Brother, Adoption - whatever. I am available for beta reading (I *am* an English teacher after all).

If anyone is in Korea (or Pennsylvania) let me know - I'd love to meet with another fan! [Report This]

Reviews by MaireadInish

With a strange potion, new location and the odd Muggle Studies Professor along for the ride, Harry's in for an interesting summer, but why is Snape here? Dumbledore had better pray he gets all three back in one piece! Humor, Angst, No Mary Sues, No Romance, no real plot.

Title: Chapter 15: Who Hurt Him? 01 Jul 2005
Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    I am really enjoying this story; it's well told with a solid amount of exposition, but it isn't rushed. Definately looking forward to the next chapter

    Author's Response: Thanks. :) I'll try to get the next chapter out soon!

Title: Chapter 1: The Situation 05 May 2006
Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    I know that you're tremendously busy, but I love this story. I hope that you get a chance to update soon.

    Author's Response: Thank you for your understanding. :) I want to update soon but we\'ll see what comes out.

Title: Chapter 19: The Splotches 05 Jun 2006
Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    I love this story. The end of this chapter is fantastic. Snape loosening up is wonderful - and he does it in character. How do you manage? I'm terribly jealous. Anyway, I always love seeing updates on this wonderful, wonderful story.

    Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much!! :D *claps hand happily*

Title: Chapter 20: Secret Accident 08 Jun 2006
Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    <sigh>  I like this story, so much.  Snape is so IC - he's stern, but not mean.  I like seeing his portrayed this way.  And so glad for the quick update!  Hooray!


    Author's Response: Thank you so much! I like stern, and a little mean, but nice Snape best. :)

Title: Chapter 21: Velveteen Rabbit (Sick Harry) 14 Jul 2006
Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    Awwwwww. The Velveteen Rabbit was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. (Had nothing to do with it being one of the longest, nosiree). I just love seeing Snape going all nurturing in his own snarky way.

    Am curious though to see what becomes of Occlumency and the bruises on Harry's arms.

    Author's Response: I like the Velveteen Rabbit too but I discovered it when I was older. We\'ll see about Occlumency... I think the bruises are almost gone?

Title: Chapter 22: Stealing Daisies 29 Sep 2006
Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    I really love this story, especially the interaction between Snape and Harry. We can see the realationship and understanding growing between the two. And I love the character of Hoppity. But I think that I am at the point where I'm ready for *something* to happen. Bad guys come or more Dursley abuse is discovered. I just feel like we're being set up for some big plot change or character shift, and now we're just waiting for that to happen.

    As I said, I love the story and I'm looking forward to the next step.

    Author's Response: Well you're right about something happening, but I don't think it'll happen as soon as you think. Some other things have to happen first, remember the purporse of this tsory is to add in as many Snape and Harry situations as possible. Just sit tight. :) thanks for the review.

Voldemort's victims are disappearing, the wards at Privet Drive are weakening with no explanation and Snape is found out a spy, saved only by the same thing that keeps making the prisioners disappear, and no one knows why.

Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    I still love this story and would like to see it completed at some point. You really are a gifted writer.

Shortly before his fifteenth birthday, Harry receives a letter from the past that alters his entire life. Now it is up to him to reveal the truth to the other whom it concerns. But will he find the courage to do so or will he repeat his mother's mistake and wait until it's too late?

Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    Are you still working on this? I'd like to see where you're going to take it.

    Author's Response: Yes, I am still working on this story. The thing is that I\'m in my last semester of college right now so I\'m really busy finishing up my independent research and writing my thesis. As soon as I graduate I\'ll be able to focus on fics more.

Harry Potter has made it through five years of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and summer break has only just begun. Unexpected and traumatic events leave Harry in more danger than ever before. An unlikely ally in Severus Snape may be his only answer as the situation deteriorates from bad to worse and Harry’s two best friends become pawns in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

    What a clever story! I really like your Maia character, she's quite fun. I'd never really thought much about Severus' mother, always assuming that she had died. It was quite fun to read about this charming but stern socialite. Any chance of a continuation?

In the summer after fifth year, Harry's done sharing everything. It's his turn to keep secrets, and to lie to protect them.

Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    I've been attempting to be patient. But I'm not. Any chance that an update is in the pike for this wonderful story?

    Author's Response:

    I\'m trying.. I *am* sorry that it\'s been so long, but between being disenchanted with HP because of the most recent book, and having a whole lot of RL stuff going on, it\'s been hard going.

    Glad you like it so far, though.
