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.

    OOPS, I forgot to point out my favorite part, " Instead, he sported a loosely-laced, ruffled white shirt with full sleeves above fitted broad cuffs. And was that LACE adorning the bottom edge of his sleeve cuffs? Harry's eyes goggled when his gaze moved downward past darker blue leggings – LEGGINGS! – tucked into rumpled black suede boots" HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH FUNNY!

    Author's Response: I think Snape would make an awesome pirate! In my mind's eye, I actually began visualizing him like this several years ago-- ANYTHING to get him out from behind those BUTTONS! And then I got to wondering how Snape might fantasize a life far removed from that of a dungeon-dwelling, potion-making, super-spy-cum-sarcastic-professor, and VOILA! I truly believe part of Severus would yearn for a freedom that always seemed out of reach in this world, but fell within his grasp in the next. My fave part is how he took Harry's advice about the hat! ;-D Thanks for the extra review!

When Minerva finally gets permission to check on Little Harry potter she enlists Severus to help her they both get a shock at what they find when they employ Muggle Child Psychology

    Oh wow! I loved this story, you made me cry! :-)

Just when Harry thought that things couldn't get any worse, they did. No one noticed that he isn't coping except two unlikely people, who will do everything to keep Harry from drowning in guilt and help him on his quest to destroy Voldemort.

Title: Chapter 1: Fatal Folly 26 Oct 2012
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    "Can you imagine," Harry said, interrupting himself long enough to pop a peanut into his mouth, chewing as he negotiated the path, "if Hagrid were in charge of a Fatal Squirrel?"

    "Harry!" squealed Hermione. "Don't even THINK such a thing!"

    "No kidding mate," agreed Ron, grabbing the packet of peanuts dangling from Harry's hand. "As if a baby dragon wasn't bad enough!" He poured out a handful of peanuts and crammed them into his mouth. "A Fmmff Sqrrmmph omphf vrrmmf…"

    Harry snatched his remaining peanuts away from Ron. "You wouldn't care to repeat that after you swallow, would you?"

    After crunching the nuts into jagged fragments not quite large enough to choke him, Ron swallowed painfully several times, coughed slightly, and repeated, "I said, a Fatal Squirrel would be the worst! Hagrid would probably let it out of its cage for some fresh air and exercise, and it would make a beeline for the Forbidden Forest."

    HAHAHAHAHAHA That is so Hagrid like! I am loving this story and the fact that the scientist did the "experiment" the year that I was born is pretty awesome (Yeah, I know, a coincidence but still awesome!)

    Author's Response:

    Um ... you aren't sprouting fangs and wings, are you, autumn??? (*snorts* Just HAD to ask!) So glad you're loving the story! And just think, there are TWO more chapters to go, and they're even MORE exciting! Thanks for the review!


Title: Chapter 2: Fatal Fiends 26 Oct 2012
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    Snape refrained from rolling his eyes. How presumptively overly-generous of Dumbledore to include himself in saying "we", when the old man had had nothing to do with formulating the hypothesis that salt would repel the Fatal Squirrels. As for finding out – the hard way – that the hypothesis might fail…Snape could only hope that the "we" would not suddenly segue into "you", meaning himself, or possibly the plural including Grubbly-Plank." So so very true! Dumbledore WOULD do that!

    Snape's black eyes seemed to lock momentarily with each and every student's, even though there were hundreds seated in the Great Hall. "Be warned…" he repeated, this time in a voice so low that the students almost had to strain to hear him. "The results of Eruptum Sal can be … disturbing … to witness. The squirrel will experience extreme pain. It will vocalize. You well may find it overwhelming to witness. But never forget – your very life may be at stake. DO NOT RELENT." LOL Snape is channeling Moody here!

    " at whatever could have attacked the centaur family so viciously.

    Grubbly-Plank's hands moved gently as she worked on the whimpering foal. Horrible gouges had been ripped into the baby's tender flesh, both on his skin-covered torso and arms, as well as his roan-hided haunches. The gray-haired witch had cast spells to stop the bleeding, and now she was trying to urge him to swallow a centaur-formula variant of Blood-Replenishing Potion. The tiny foal kept turning his head away, screaming his reaction to the potion's foul taste. Grubbly-Plank looked up at the mother. "Please – he needs to

    ""Fawkes heals as he pleases," Dumbledore stated firmly. "If he did not feel someone deserved help, his eyes would remain dry."" Hehe, foreshadowing a certain "Toad" ? I hope so!

    Aww, poor Daddy Centaur!

    As the silence continued, Snape frowned in annoyance. "Miss Granger?"

    Hermione jumped. "I didn't raise my hand, Professor."

    "Wonders never cease," the Potions Master sneered nastily as Hermione's cheeks reddened." HAHA, I would be very confused that Hermione didn't know something too! HAHA

    "Snape cast a Tempus and smirked with pleasure. "Five points per person per minute for every minute that he or she is late for Potions."

    Gasping in dismay, the students fell over their own feet and each others', scrambling up the steep path to the castle, through the tall main doors, down the stairways, through the dungeons, their shoes pounding the stone floors in a frantic stampede. As they burst through the doorway into the dimly-lit Potions dungeon, Snape was already seated calmly at his desk, pointedly looking at the ticking wall clock.

    "Greasy git!" groused Ron, flinging his school bag onto the lab table and himself onto his stool. "He must have Flooed from Hagrid's fireplace!"" HAHA How very Snape!

    Author's Response:

    I love that you picked up on the Hermione moment! That came directly from a class I was teaching (Intro to Fiction), and there was a guy who NEVER spoke up voluntarily, and when we'd go around the circle to get every student's opinion about something, he'd always say he agreed with what other people had said. One day, I decided to see if he could offer his OWN opinion, so I called on him out of the blue. He just shrugged, and I had to go on to someone else. But after class ended, he came up to me and lambasted me: "Miss Shadow, I did NOT raise my hand! You shouldn't have called on me when I didn't raise my hand!" I tried to explain that I was attempting to help him out with his class participation grade, but he was so MAD! I thought it would be funny to have Snape actually call on Hermione when she wasn't trying to offer an answer, and my student's response popped out of Hermione's mouth! HAHAHAAA!

    Yep! I tried to keep the characters in character, although Snape is a bit more neutral toward the students during his lectures in the CMC class than he is during Potions. Because of that, I threw in a few random "Snape moments"! Thanks for the review!


Title: Chapter 3: Fatal Feast 26 Oct 2012
Reviewer: autumnamberleaves (Signed)
    "Fear stole through Hogwarts castle during the next few days, passed from student to student faster than a contagious virus." I love that opening line.

    ""Had your experiment succeeded better than ours did," Snape hissed fiercely, "you could be dying now. Or you could already be stripped to the bone." He glared at the three Slytherins. "Detention. Tonight."" Snape giving Slytherins detention?!?!?! wow!

    "
    "Good," said McGonagall. "One less thing to worry about, with Albus away. Now – the Feast. What are you going as?"

    A loud, derisive snort echoed along the length of the corridor." HAHA I wonder!?!?!


    ""Hun-gee?" asked the foal. When Harry nodded, smiling...' That part made me laugh til I REALLY DID CRY!

    I LOVED THIS STORY! Great job!

    Author's Response:

    YES! Snape really did give detention to his Slytherins! That's how SERIOUS the situation was! And I don't think Lucius would have been impressed with Draco's ragged bones sprawling on the Hogwarts grounds, so Snape had to take appropriate action! But what pink idiots!

    As for Snape's "costume" -- NAAAHHHHH! And McGonagall knew it. She was just ribbing him!

    As for Braeden, I wanted to show that he really was okay, fun and full of energy! And kids do say the darndest things! I hope that scene makes everyone laugh, 'cause that was my intention! I especially wanted to see Fayleene laugh after the horrible circumstances had devastated her life. And nothing less than Braeden's innocent offer was likely to do that! Thanks for reading and reviewing!


Snape never wanted anyone to know of his promise to Dumbledore, but has realised that he can protect Potter much better by taking a less passive role in the boy's training. Actually liking Harry Potter has never been part of his plan. mentor/guardian.

    That's a great start! Good job and I cannot wait to read more. I'm glad that Snape figured out that Harry had done ACCIDENTAL magic instead of actually trying to inflate Marge. If Snape had not, it would have likely created even more "drama."
