About me:

I love to write and edit. You know those tests you'd do in school where you had to look at 5 different words and pick the correctly spelled one? Or "fix" wrong sentences? I loved those. ;-)

I've always got numerous stories in the works. I absolutely adore music. It's right up there with oxygen.

After a trip to Little Whinging to satisfy his curiosity, Severus returned to Hogwarts sporting a present from the Boy-Who-Lived… drool and bogies. And Potter, only sixteen-months-old, had already earned himself a detention.

In response to the Tug challenge by lilette.

    LOL That was cute. My favorite part was Snape's, "I hope you realize I will not tolerate this sort of behavior in my classroom." I can definitely see him speaking so seriously to a baby. Classic.

    Good job!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It makes me very happy that you found Snape realistic!


It was the start of his second year when Harry couldn't force his realization away any longer. He needed a father, even if it was a bad, uninterested father...he still needed one. So what motivated him to ask Severus Snape?

    Oooh, good chapter! I was glad Snape didn't just figure everything out right away. he's smart, but he ain't God! Haha.

    I thought the emotional tones were set very well, so good job! Looking forward to more!

    Author's Response:

    Victory-Starr,

    Thanks. True, Snape has to sort through his thoughts and the clues like a normal person, no matter how smart he may be. Glad you like it and will update again soon.

    -Mel :)


Severus is furious when his mother sends him off to the bath, but finds it much more difficult to disobey her than he anticipated.

    Aww, that was adorable. I haven't read "Boy's Adventure" yet, but this really makes me want to. I love how you've portrayed Severus as a child... sad, but still cute. I liked this!

What's in a name? The-boy-who-lived, prophesied defeater of the Dark Lord, son of the supremely intelligent Lily Evans and talented James Potter, Golden boy of Gryffindor, part-time punching bag and house elf of the Dursleys and the bane of Severus Snape's teaching career, Harry's used to labels. Who would want Harry when they can see instead whoever they like instead? Having never been entirely sure who he is makes him a little too open to suggestion though and unfortunately for him, Umbridge wants to banish his old list of names and create a new one of her own.
Beneath the names others have branded him with will anyone be able to find Harry?

    Okay, so this is the only story of yours here that I haven't read yet. Y'know how you just get so caught up in so many stories and you really don't think you have room in your mind for even one more? Okay, maybe that's just me. ;-)

    Well, I finally gave in and started this one too. I'm glad I did.

    So far this story is very different than any other one I've read. You're doing a great job portraying the characters and the atmosphere they create. I wanted to puke when Harry was with Umbridge and when Snape was talking to Harry in the doorway of the Potions classroom, I felt this sense of... foreboding.

    Great work! I'm gonna go read the next chapter! :D

    Author's Response:

    Oh, thank you so much for reading them all, that’s so sweet! *muffins and points and harry hugs for you ^^* - and I definitely know what you mean, probably why I reread so many fics – there are just too many great writers out there ^^

    Thank you so much, that’s such a kind thing to say... *have more muffins* ^^

    Everything you said is just so kind and I’ve felt the same sort of thing when I’ve read a fic I really like so I’m feeling incredibly, giddily happy right now, thank you ^-^  I’m so glad I was able to make you feel so much and that you find this original, this fic became bigger than it was going to be because I couldn’t find many Umbridge fics (not that I like her, she just never quite finds her comeuppance and I’d love to throw her uppance in her face... and I know that makes absolutely no sense but oh well ^^)

    Thanks and happy reading ^^

    Yay, another good chapter! I loved how Harry decided that "later" could be now. That was cute. ;-)

    I'm looking forward to see what happens next!

    Author's Response:

    Hehe, glad you thought so!  I do seem to have a few ‘cute-Harry’ moments thrown in here and there occasionally... perhaps once the torture is behind us I’ll slip some more in ^^

    Awww.... poor Harry! I just wanna reach through the computer and give him a big hug! And tell him I love him just as he is! ::sniff::

    Seriously though, great work. I'm glad I'm reading this.

    Author's Response:

    Aww, *gives you as many harry hugs as you need* I’m very mean to him aren’t I... naughty me ^^ and I’m more than glad you’re reading this ^-^

Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Oh boy. I do wonder what it is that Umbridge has got planned. She's creepy and scares me. ::shudder::

    Nice chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Hope she doesn’t end up scaring you too much... although she does have the whole creepy thing down doesn’t she *shudders too*


Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 17 Dec 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    OMG... can I just take a moment here to be very happy that I can go instantly to see the next chapter and not be left hanging? Sheesh, this is gonna give me a heart attack and kill me. I'm too young to die!

    You really know how to build up the momentum! Awesome.

    Gotta go read more!

    Author's Response: Thanks so much!  And I think I felt most awful for those who I left hanging after this one – naughty naughty me *slaps hand... ow... ^^* - not much horrible-ness left now... okay, I lie... good luck ^^

Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Ah... augh. Ouch? Harry's tough, I gotta give him that. Perhaps too tough for his own good. I could not have taken that.

    A Snape plushie... now that I would like...

    Author's Response:

    I think you said it perfectly then, he’s far too tough for his own good.  Silly Harry *hugs him anyway* - I doubt anyone could have taken that... Harry should be a superhero ^^

    I think the Snape plushies were necessary... you know, for people’s mental health ^^

    Ouch! I just knew that shirt-sticking-to-back thing would happen! Ow, poor Harry. I seem to say that a lot...

    Looking forward to see what happens next!

    Author's Response:

    Hehehe, and you aren’t the only one either, so many people saying ‘poor harry’... makes me wonder if maybe perhaps I might be possibly being a bit mean to him?  Hmm... and the shirt-sticking-to-his-back thing... well, he may be tough but my harry doesn’t appear to have an awful lot of common sense ^^

    But then writers do tend to have things in common with their protagonists ^^
