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.

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

    Oh yay another chapter! Aww, you made my heart melt with this one. Poor Harry. And poor Snape too.

    That was really nuts. I know I would've been panicking in there if I were Harry. I'm so glad Snape found him.

    I can't wait to see what this will bring to the story now.

    Thanks for the update! :D

Sometimes getting what you want is terrifying. Can Severus and Harry manage after the roller coaster that was first year?

Sequel to Reading the Signs.

    Awwwwww! ::tears:: That was so sad! I loved this chapter and there is so much I could say about it. Like Harry falling asleep in Severus' bed and making his birthday list. But I'll settle for discussing my favorite part:

    You definitely made me cry there at the end. I know I can relate to how Harry is feeling. Seeing someone else get something that you should've had, but never got and knowing you can't go back in time and change that. I've felt a similar way many times growing up and it sucks. It really does. So I'd say you got that spot-on. Great work!

    I love Severus here. The way it dawned on him what Harry was feeling. Lovely.

    Again, good job! I am so happy you updated and can't wait for the next chapter!

"We hate him because he acknowledges that our hero is a child. Just a child, with sellotaped glasses and knobbly knees and messy hair. A child who looks out with innocence and naivety and hope for this brave new world. Severus Snape knows this will get him killed."

    Wow... this is so brilliant. I love the narrative tone you wrote this in.

    Now I've gotta read the expansion! Good job!

The man leans over the table and presses the cup of tea into Harry’s hand. “Here, have some more. Perhaps it’ll make you feel better.”

Harry doubts it but accepts the cup nonetheless and takes a few mouthfuls. Moments after he’s swallowed the bitter brew he begins to feel cold and his vision blurs.

Sometimes safety takes on a strange meaning, but Harry always knew cupboards were safe. He just never knew that he would one day associate Snape along with cupboards and the safety and sense of security they always brought him.

    Can't remember if I ever reviewed this before, but just wanted to say that it's a very good story. I always thought Lockhart was a perv.

    I loved your Snape, by the way.

    Good work!

There is no such thing as black or white, only a rainbow of grey. Expansion of 'Fairytale'.

    Awww, that is so sad, the idea of his daddy watching out for him in the reflections. It's sweet and endearing, but sad too.

    Good work!

    You've really hooked me with this story! It's beautiful and you're writing is very good. The present tense works very well in this tale.

    I hope you update again soon!

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

    So glad you're making a sequel. You got me hooked and then there in bold at the bottom... "The End". Augh.

    Can't wait to read more! Great job!

Before Harry arrives at Hogwarts, the faculty have a meeting and decide that Harry will need a mentor to help him adjust, keep him out of trouble, and make protecting him easier. They decide that this person should the Head of the House into which Harry is sorted, presumably Minerva McGonagall. But things, of course, don't turn out as planned, and Harry is harder to deal with than anyone expected. Nobody asked him if he wanted a mentor, after all...

NOTE: This story has a prologue. It is not necessary to the plot of the story, but if you wish to read it, it is called(predictably enough) 'Prologue to Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat'

Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    It seems a lot of people are reading this story, so I thought I'd give it a shot also!

    You've got a really good setup here. It's a bit more original with Harry staying friends with Ron instead of buddying up with Draco right away. I like that.

    Also, I like how you show Snape's vulnerabilities. I can believe that he while he keeps himself shielded, Dumbledore is the only one who can get to him. It's sad. Poor Snape.

    But I have to say that Harry most definitely does not sound like an 11-year-old child. He sounds at least 15, if not older. I understand that he's probably had a hard life and grown up quickly, yet his thought process still sounds too old to be believable.

    But you've got a lot more chapters for me to read, so I'll stick with it!

    I'm curious to see what's next!

    Author's Response: Hello!! Thanks for the review!! I'm glad you like the fic so far. I wanted to say that I agree with you completely about Harry seeming a too old, even for the difficulties he's faced, but this was the character Harry wanted to be at the moment (he seems more realistic later, I think.) Hope you continue to enjoy the fic! Thanks again for reviewing! Rhiannan

    Awww... poor Harry. He almost seemed like a poor, small, trapped animal. It was horrible. Snape knew just how to get to him.

    Good job!

    Author's Response: Yeah, poor Harry. Thanks for reviewing!! Glad you liked!!

    Well, you've hooked me. I'm loving this story now! You take things slow and that is needed.

    Awesome job! Can't wait for more!

    Author's Response: Woot!! Glad you like so much!! Makes me happy!! I hope you like my new fic, too - it should be coming out in a week or so. This one should update sometime after that - 2-3 weeks from now? Anyway nice to hear from you! Hope you continue to like my stuff!
