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.

    Wow, this one was great, too. I could just feel the guilt and shame in my stomach with Harry... You did a really good job on this! Awesome!

    Oh wow, this was brilliant. I totally cried. Poor Harry. I was so worried about him. You do a really great job portraying characters' emotions. I'm so glad he has Severus around. The man is so perspective and observant and Harry needs that.

    Great job!

A summer road trip through Muggle America comes to a halt when the car that Ron, Hermione, and Harry have purchased breaks down. Walking to the nearest gas station, Harry encounters the last person he thought he ever wanted to see…and his 1987 Camaro. But there’s a side to Severus Snape that no one knows about: a free riding rebel that would rather don older rock tees than robes and still breaks rules wherever he can. Little do they know it, but the Golden Trio is in for one hell of a summer. - Summer after sixth Year - Non-HBP and DH compliant

Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    I've seen this on here for a while now and wasn't sure at first if I would like this. But I do!

    This is brilliant!

Title: Chapter 2: Some Truths, Some Cuddles, and a Breakfast Thingy 19 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Aww, I love that Snape practically put Harry to bed. I'm such a sap. But that was adorable.

    Usually Ron and Hermione annoy me in fanfics. But not so in this one. You do a marvelous job writing them!

Title: Chapter 3: Accidently on Purpose 19 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Oh. Crud.

    That is not good!!! Augh, this is torment. You should appreciate that I am leaving this review, cause I am sooooo ready to just go to the next chapter! ;-)

    I really liked Snape and Harry talking about music. That was cute!

Title: Chapter 4: No Sleep Till...Queens? 19 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Harry is saved! Yay! Of course, I knew that would happen, but ya can't help but be fearful for the boy anyhow.

    The reference to "Oliver Twist" made me smile, though the situation was still sad.

    I was so glad to see Severus come and pick him up in NYC. It was all warm fuzzies there! ;-)

Title: Chapter 5: Barbecues, Swimming, Lost Loves, Firecracers, and Oh! a Severus too! 19 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Oh crap! Not Malfoy! Ugh.

    I loved the party. I loved how happy Harry was and that he's still small enough to be lifted up and thrown into the pool. Seeing Severus teach him how to do the bottle rockets was awesome. I'm really enjoying this story!

    Lizzie was neat. Of course, I have yet to see her interact with Harry and his friends, but so far I like her. I think she's very good for Severus. I want that man to be happy. He needs to marry her this time though! And adopt Harry! And get a dog! And live happily ever after!

    Oh, well, I obviously ask for too much, since Lucius Malfoy is at the door. Things just can't be easy for these people, can they? ;-)

    Looking forward to the next chapter very much! :D

Title: Chapter 6: Plowed Into The Sound 19 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Oh God, the Dark Mark! That didn't take long! Things just don't get boring for Harry Potter, do they? ;-)

    I really like Lizzie, I decided. She's cool. And I like Snape's house.

    I just hope they can escape this disaster relatively unscathed. ;-)

Title: Chapter 7: Burns and the Edge of Seventeen 19 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Awww, "Edge of Seventeen"... that was neat.

    I really loved this chapter. From the trio falling asleep on the couch together, to the Severus and Lizzie interaction in the morning, to the carwashing nd talking in the afternoon. It was all so good.

    Again, I am really enjoying your portrayal of the trio. This is one of the few stories where I actually do. Most of the time, Ron and Hermione end up annoying me. But not in this one.

    I *loved* the talk between Severus and Harry. It was lovely. Harry often comes across as so young and innocent and that's beautiful. It is such a shame that those things may be risked in the defeat of Voldemort. I was so glad that Severus could see that.

    Great job!

Title: Chapter 8: I Don’t Think Murphy Quite Had This in Mind, But Sure, Why Not? 19 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Aww, I have caught up! Not cool. I love reading this!

    This line had me cracking up:

    ---

    "God, she's just like my mother! It's like my mom's soul invades every mother anywhere near me."

    ---

    That was hilarious! I love the humor you use in this. It's really awesome.

    I thought you wrote Mrs. Weasley really well. And she was pretty funny! I loved how she gave them all juice. And what Arthur said about the muggle road trip being fascinating was sooooo in character. I could totally hear him saying that. But honestly, I'll be gad when they're gone. I really liked the atmosphere before the Weasleys and the others from back home showed up.

    The little flashback scene was lovely. The contrast between young Severus and current (not old!)Severus is very striking.

    Georgie is so very awesome. I think one of my favorite lines was when he said, "I know that many of them have had a hard time."

    That was so refreshing. He didn't say that many of them were evil, or turned out bad, etc. He was so honest. If I was Severus, I would have broken down then, too.

    Lizzie rocks. I love her. 'nuff said.

    I can't wait for the next chapter!
