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.

What's in a name? The-boy-who-lived, prophesied defeater of the Dark Lord, son of the supremely intelligent Lily Evans and talented James Potter, Golden boy of Gryffindor, part-time punching bag and house elf of the Dursleys and the bane of Severus Snape's teaching career, Harry's used to labels. Who would want Harry when they can see instead whoever they like instead? Having never been entirely sure who he is makes him a little too open to suggestion though and unfortunately for him, Umbridge wants to banish his old list of names and create a new one of her own.
Beneath the names others have branded him with will anyone be able to find Harry?

    Hey there, great chapter! Sets thousands of curses on the "witch." Kidnaps you, dear Sproutchild....Mehaha!! Autumn (Slytherin)

    Author's Response: Thank you!!! Hehe, and perhaps you could team up with Wrinkled Fabric if you’re planning a kidnap (she’s developing her own balaclavas for the occasion ^^) - *waits patiently like a good kidnappee should ^^ - cookies? *hands u some* thanks!

Harry comes to school missing one eye, and pratically mute. He is sorted into Slytherin. Severus Snape dislikes all things Potter. Can he get over his hatred to see the truth?

    Well, a bit longer than normal, so that's good. I'm glad the "last time" was shorter too, you really don't need it, because it was taking up a LOT of your space. I liked the chapter but it could be better, we know Severus knows something off, but what does he notice from chapters back?

    Author's Response: You'll just have to wait. I like keeping things in the dark about how a character views things. Anyway, glad you liked the chapter. TftR.

Severus and James give Harry a bath and get a little more than they bargained for...

    LOL, that was so amusing! "Harry...you were supposed to aim for James!" ROTFL!

    Author's Response:

    Lol, I'm so glad you liked my fic!  Baby Harry was so much fun to write!

    -P.G. 


Harry and Draco spend the summer with Professor Snape and come to learn how to overcome their differences and learn a little about themselves as well.

    Woah, poor Harry, that's terrible! I'll be highly surprised if he doesn't hurt and also attempt to off himself. Please update soon, this is a great story.

    Author's Response: Thanks! It will definitely be a catalyst that drives Harry to the edge--I love a tormented Harry!--but it was necessary.

    I know I've already read this, but I wanted to review anyways. GREAT JOB once again! I loved the little parts that you added, it made it so much clearer! I just knew Harry had been cutting himself! I look foward to betaing your next chapter. Please send it the moment you get it done. :-D

    Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the additions I made--thank you again so much for all of your help, I tend to have logic and thought processes that differ from the general population and therefore are much harder to follow. lol. :) I will send it along as soon as I'm done!

    Great job! I like what you've done. :-D

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! I changed as much of the 'he's as I could...I need a wider vocabulary. :)

    ugh, sorry, I meant to do it yesterday when I could finally sit down and read and give it the attention it deserves, but other things came up. So sorry. Anyways, I thought that this chapter was good.

    Author's Response: No problem...I'm on an extended break from work for Mardi Gras and I will have no computer access until late in the week, so I decided to just throw it out there. Sorry!

    Great chapter girlie! But then again, I already knew that! :-D Please send me the next chapter soon!

    Author's Response: Thank you! :) I'm already writing it, and my other half is at a work function tomorrow night, so I'll get a few hours of down time then (yay!) and hopefully that'll include writing.

Normality never suited Harry, not even when he was a baby. A side story in the Alea Iacta Est universe that functions as a one-shot. Entrant in the 2009 Prompt Fest. Prompts: Boggart Under the Bed and Candlelight.

    Oh wow, that was awesome, you did a fantastic job, girlie! I had to LOL at Sev when it came to him musing about why his son hadn't picked up his blocks like he'd been asked...haha, Sev hadn't been around too many tots I suppose (I used to work at a Daycare and all I can say to Sev is "good luck cuz it ain't gonna happen"). I liked the little play on names ("prince" because Sev's and Hadrian's real last name is "Prince"). I found it interesting that Hadrian's fear is light in two ways, the first being that later in his young life he has to face much proverbal darkness, that yes, he'd end up fighting) and secondly, just a year later, Hadrian would be begin to be haunted by another GREEN light, though with the foulest of results unlike this boggart. Knowing your writing, you probably meant to do that, but was the color of the light (green) and the light itself meant to be a little nudge about the AK later in his life? Great job and I hope you survived BF.

    Author's Response:

    Yay, you picked up on a lot of the subtext I quietly wrote into this as I've discovered I can't write complete fluff, fluff with an underlying purpose and subtext yes, but not complete fluff. In some ways if you think about some of the lines like his wishes for Hadrian, it's rather sad to know what happened later. 

    I made autumnamberleaves laugh. :) I thought people would like that block bit. I included a little bit of myself in this young Sev in not being around babies/toddlers much at all. Plus, he's a smart cookie and sometimes smart people just can't understand how others don't get something even if it's a baby. lol.  

    The afraid of light thing was one of the things that popped into my head when I chose my prompts. It wasn't always like this as I had planned a whole different few chapters thing, but then it morphed into this. Plus, I just thought it would be interesting if a small child was afraid of light instead of the dark. You don't really hear about that.

    I totally survived BF. I hope you did. I was actually crazy enough to go shopping on my lunch break and after work. I totally couldn't pass up the great DVD/Blu-ray disc prices as I usually get a bunch for my dad for Christmas.
