About me:

Hello from good old Virginia! I am new to the Harry Potter fanfiction craze, despite liking the series for over two years now (yeah, I was a late bloomer in that sense).  I guess you could say that I like drama and the hurt and comfort fics best, though I read a lot of other genres as well. My favorite characters of "Harry Potter," are: Severus (duh), Hermoine, Harry, Remus and Luna. Ron is all right, but tends to annoy me.

 As stated, I'm from Virginia, and have a Southern twang...even for Virginia standards (I was at work and a customer asked me if I was from Tenessee or Georgia).

I have beta'ed several of other various genres and would gladly beta someone's within reasons.  Obviously, I would beta American English, but I am studying British English and am comfortable with it so maybe later.

Albus Dumbledore admits he often asks too much, but this time he has decided to ask something altogether different. With the shadows of war encircling them all, it will take incredible wit and strength to see his soldiers through to the end. What he needs, more than anything, is for them to work together - and Albus is nothing if not full of ideas on how to make the impossible happen.

    Great start, I'm looking forward to more! Please update soon.

Every year Harry Potter writes a letter to his second son, who is growing up surrounded by friends and family, new and old. Ignores a good chunk of the epilogue, happy and light.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH how awesome! I loved this story, but lol it should come with a warning that it can cause diabetic comas, it's so sweet! I'm glad that Robert/Severus is still alive and watching out for Severus Albus. The notes were really good too. Thanks for writing such a brillant story, it really brightened my blah day. Truly, I'd been having a bad day and this really got me smiling. Thank you!

AU. Harry is sorted into Slytherin. How different would Harry's life have been if he had never been a Gryffindor?

When the Dursleys abandoned Harry in the Hut on the Rock, he never could have foreseen how his dire predicament would lead to the fulfillment of his birthday wish for a different, better life.

Title: Chapter 1: A Lovely Start 27 Jul 2011
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    Oh shadow, I'm loving it! " Cauldrons lined the back wall, scrubbed to dull gleaming, ready to produce the first disaster of the new school year." haha you caught severus's personality to a t

    Author's Response: Yeah, I had to go with canon Snape in the beginning, and he was fun to write, but there are surprises in store for our fave Potions Master!

Title: Chapter 2: The Most Important Wish 27 Jul 2011
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    Awww another great chapter! Poor Harry having a cladestine birthday...awww

    Author's Response: Well, at least he's not locked in his cupboard for this one! He actually has roast beef and a crusty roll! And a bit of cake! And dinner candles to WISH on! (That's the most important element of this special day...)

Title: Chapter 3: Vernon Takes Charge 27 Jul 2011
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    awww some "holiday" well, it isn't one, but you get the jist.Great job as usual!

    Author's Response: The-Holiday-That-Really-Wasn't, huh?! They certainly managed to get away from it all ... except for the owls, that is! Thanks for the review!

Title: Chapter 4: A Calamitous Night 27 Jul 2011
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    *gasps* *stares at the screen* you...you...you...SHOT HAGRID?!?!!? Great job as usual.

    Author's Response:

    *ahem* Did you see "character death" among the Warnings??? Were you FOOLED??? Hee Hee!!! Yes, poor Hagrid had to get shot in order for the Dursleys to leave Harry behind on the Rock. Seriously-- If they'd left as planned, Harry would have returned to Surrey with them! So, in order for the plot to take off, poor Hagrid... But I COULDN'T KILL HIM!!!! NOT HAGRID!!!

    I don't know how readers actually "experienced" that scene. Since I wrote it, I KNEW Hagrid would survive to be rescued, but I wanted readers to be shocked at Vernon's madness reaching a crisis. Who was it who said, If there's a gun on stage, it has to go off? (Ibsen? Somebody I studied my sophomore year in college...) Well, the shotgun had to go off, and I suppose the readers got a SERIOUS jolt! One person told me she was so worried that Harry might get shot that she'd forgotten about Hagrid!

    But onward with the PLOT...

Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    uh oh snape's on a warpath and the dursley's are on the top of his list. Along with Dumbybore. Great job!

    Author's Response:

    Hmmm...

    I have to say it-- I'd somehow thought SOMEONE would have caught the intended HUMOR in this chapter. But then, that's the main reason I NEVER put "humor" as a genre in the story description-- Stuff I think is funny just falls completely FLAT, huh, autumn???

    But thanks for the compliment!  ;-D

    hehe I loved that Severus was curious about Marge's mustache! hehe Great job once again!

    Author's Response: I just HAD to put that in! ;-D
