About me:

Hi all,

I'm Lisa and I've read too many excellent fics on here not to be inspired enough to write my own and be part of this brilliant society of aspiring authors ^-^.  I love almost anything if it's well-written and firmly believe Snape and Harry should have had for more book-time... well, Snape... I think Harry had enough ^-^ but I'll settle for the multitude of fics in which they have the relationship they should have, both being so similar and all.  I have to admit I love the sappy fluffy stuff more than I should though... but that's just me ^-^ (beware of fluff in my own work ^-^)

I'll try to be original but I'm of the opinion that similar storylines can be written by different people to become something wholly unique because writing styles to me are like snow flakes (or something equally poetic ^-^).

As to my house... well as the quote from one of my favourite fics goes, "those that tended to escape reality in books gravitated toward Ravenclaw" and that's summed me up my entire life ^-^

I'm a bit whimsy but quite friendly and more than happy to chat, though I'll try not to bug people with an inbox full of adoring reviews... no matter how awesome their writing may be. 

Thanks for visiting ^-^

Have fun x

With a strange potion, new location and the odd Muggle Studies Professor along for the ride, Harry's in for an interesting summer, but why is Snape here? Dumbledore had better pray he gets all three back in one piece! Humor, Angst, No Mary Sues, No Romance, no real plot.

Title: Chapter 26: The Tantrum 01 Nov 2009
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    I think it's fantastic you included your comments on corporal punishment at the end of this one - and that this chapter didnt have any in it, not because I'm anti- or pro-spanking but because it wouldnt endear harry to snape any and i doubt hoppity would be capable of it ^^ - personally I agree as well, it's a bit too 'do as I say not as I do' which is a ridiculous way to teach creatures who intrinsically learn by example, but I'll shut up (you must be getting so sick of me commenting on everything, sorry ^^)

    I love your slow progression of snape and harry's relationship and the fact that they both seem to have a commentary on their changing characters, it makes it much more realistic than the fics where they dont notice their own softening or whatever (Im not entirely sure that made sense... hopefully you know what i mean ^^)

    One more chapter then I'll be waiting like everyone else, I'll say now that I cant wait 'til you update again but in the meantime I'm sure I'll reread this plenty, it's a truly wonderful fic ^-^
    have fun x

    Author's Response:

    Oh I know what you mean. :) I believe that seeing the character growth and closeness from the character's perspective is important to truly believing the growth of the relationship. :)

    Thank you for your comments on the cp note. I also believe that it would not help Snape and Harry grow closer. Not in this story.

    Thank you for all of your comments, I truly enjoy reading them and hope that you will post many more! :)

    Oh, leaving us on a bit of a cliffy, cannot wait to read more (but dutifully will ^^) *gives you lots of blueberry muffins for the awesome time I've had reading this fic so far* thanks!
    Have fun and stay safe ^^ x

    Author's Response: Thanks for the muffins and for your review. :) Hope you enjoy the next part.

Title: Chapter 7: Agent D, and the Spotting of the Dragon 27 Oct 2009
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    Aww this is just gorgeous so far and of course I have to keep reading but I just had to say you did Kathleen's 'helpful' talk about turbulence brilliantly, my nanny did the same to me with the 'up, down, up, down' the first time I went on a plane and I barely managed to escape without doing a Snape ^-^
    Love this fic so far ^-^
    have fun x

    Author's Response: Awww, thanks so much for your review! :) I'm glad that you managed to escape before you did a "Snape" on the plane. LOL.

    'She was hopping around like a school girl and gave him a grin when he looked at her. She was definitely related to Dumbledore.'
    Oh cute! Wont Dumbledore be jealous he missed the toystore ^^

    Author's Response: Haha, yes I'm sure he would be, but don't worry, I'm fairly certain that he visits toystores in his free time anyway. XD Thanks for your comments!

Title: Chapter 9: Settling In 28 Oct 2009
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    I couldnt not tell you how brilliant a writer you continue to be when you made me laugh so much with this:
    the old coot would be less likely to bother him on a whim as the headmaster was wont to skip gaily along the halls the week before the students arrived, casting learning enchantments everywhere.
    Fantastic image ^^
    and Martha Jones with an American accent... interesting ^^
    brilliant so far, I'm really enjoying reading this in my spare moments ^^

    Author's Response: Thank you so much for your feedback! I am so glad that you are enjoyig the story. :)

Title: Chapter 20: Secret Accident 29 Oct 2009
Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    Despite the completely gorgeous fluffiness of all the previous chapters this has to be the cutest ^-^

    Author's Response: Thank you! :D I'm glad you approve.

    Ooh, great beginning, I liked how emotionally you wrote Harry's 'death' too, very gripping reading ^^
    have fun x

A story idea that popped out during a bout with insomnia. Harry Potter has had a difficult life, more than anyone knows. What happens when Severus Snape finds out Harry's mind has fractured into multiple personalities under the strain?

Reviewer: sproutchild (Signed)
    I just love this: There was a reason Severus had always assumed Potter had been pampered at home – it was because, had Potter been placed in his care, that was what he would have done.

    it gives me great ideas for fics in the future so thanks ^-^ - I'm absolutely loving this and am immediately going to read more... now... ^^
