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.

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.

    Aww this was a sweet chapter too. Much sad that Sev has to hold up a reputation but such is life.

    "Give it a wave," Snape suggested, then immediately grabbed Harry's moving arm to direct the wand's tip AWAY from Snape. "THAT way, Potter, if you please." HAHAHAHAHAHA I rolled with laughter there!

    Author's Response: Hey, it may be Lily's wand & Harry may share magic with it, BUT... Remembering Ollivander's-- I just couldn't resist! Harry's attention was completely focused on the Potions MASTER, so he'd naturally point the wand directly at Snape! Snape is full Slytherin when it comes to ALL types of survival skills! Hee! :-)

    Awww I loved this chapter, this whole story. While I'm not crazy about the whole "play dumb" theory I do see how Sev might have a point :-) I HEART the last line...aww so nice!

    Author's Response: Oh, thank you so very very VERY MUCH!!! So glad you enjoyed the full ride, and YES, I love that ending, too! (I write the kind of stories I'd like to read, and I try for a good note at the end!) Thanks for reviewing throughout, autumn! :-D

Harry comes back to Hogwarts after a rough summer with the Dursleys. He tries to hide the scars of the summer, but refuses to deal with. Is someone going to help him before he sinks away completely?

    OH wow! I am hooked! Great job!

Everyone said Harry was different, but what if the differences were more than just surviving the killing curse? What if Harry had Autism? How would the wizarding world react and adapt to The Boy Who Lived?

    Really great Shadow!

    Author's Response: Thanks, autumn! Glad you enjoyed the beginning! (Just wait till you get to Ch 2 ... And Ch 3!) Hee hee!

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 28 Dec 2011
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    HOW in the WORLD did I NOT READ THIS?!?!?! The beginning looks familar, maybe I started to read it and got interrupted, dunno. This is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

    "Childrearing Charms for New Parents?" she read aloud, peering down into Harry's bag where the title was visible on the spine of the slender volume. "What on earth…?" HEHEHE I can just imagine Hermione thinking, "is there something you and Ginny need to tell me? and do you need to go into hiding from Ron when he finds out?" LOL GREAT.

    I Rolled on the Floor laughed at the description of Flitwick's eyes doing the tango, I pictured Flitwick literally going around the castle and doing a spell to cause all the students and staff to tango.

    LOL, I'm wondering if Harry and Flitwick have a death wish at the moment. I'm loving it!

    Author's Response: It sounds as if you have finally come out of hibernation! Wow! What enthusiasm! Yes, the technical aspects of this Charm took a while to work out, and I didn't think I could fudge around with it coz I wanted it to be BELIEVABLE, so I had to go to extreme measures, including Childrearing Charms! I figured a good laugh in passing couldn't hurt! And I love writing Flitwick-- he's so underused in canon. And I think he secretly enjoys being able to put the occasional "joke" over on Snape, so he's a willing "conspirator" in Harry's project! Glad you enjoyed REREADING Chap 1! ;-)

Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 28 Dec 2011
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    Great chapter. I feel bad for Snape! Though the "conjoined-not-twins" thing was super funny! :-) It sounds like this spell could easily be a Unforgivable.

    Author's Response: Heh heh heh! Once again, I had to give some serious thought to what kind of spell could possibly prove sufficiently distracting to Snape to allow Harry to cast the Haunting Charm on the man without it being detected. I think Hermione went a little overboard, since she's nearly in a state of shock at the result, but I just had to do something with Crabbe and Goyle, so they became the hapless victim(s)! And I agree with your assessment, but almost any spell could be "Dark" when seriously misused, including Rictussempra, the Tickling Spell. (Have you ever been tickled until you were ready to be SICK?!)

    AWWW great story, I absolutely, 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% loved it! You did wonderful Shadow!

    Author's Response: A million and one thanks, autumn! (To be honest, I kinda lost count of all those zeroes up there! So I'm sending you the million +1 in return!) I'm thrilled that you managed to relocate this story-- gee, how DID you miss finishing it a couple of months ago?! And so pleased that you found it so VERY entertaining! Thanks again for reading and reviewing! :-D Happy NEW YEAR!
