About me:

Greetings from Virginia! I began reading Harry Potter fanfiction in 2006, and P&S is my favorite site by far! As a writer, I just hope that my readers will enjoy my stories. I always appreciate it when people take the time to leave a review!

 My hobbies include reading (of course!), quilting, Star Trek (TOS being my fave series), and I've recently begun studying Esperanto online.

I love cats, although I no longer have my own. But 26 cats have shared my life since I was a young child, and I have a plethora of wonderful, zany, and sometimes bizarre memories! (During the pandemic, I discovered a wonderful YouTube channel in Turkey--if you are a cat lover, please check out the "walter santi" YouTube channel and prepare to fall head over heels with numerous cats, plus Walter the dog! Santi is the white indoor cat.)

 Alan Rickman is forever in my heart. 🐢

Severus Snape knew a great many things about his adopted son.

    Awwww... Your story truly speaks to how children feel, and also to how adults fail to correctly interpret those feelings! Fortunately, Severus got his eyes opened in the nick of time, and kudos to Fang! Good doggie saved the day! Heart-warming as a cup of milky tea!

Sometimes surviving means more than withstanding what is fated to occur. Sometimes it means finding a safe place to hide, or facing death to protect another’s life.

Sometimes it means letting go,

Sometimes it means holding on.

    Wow! I found myself holding my breath through a lot of the narrative after Harry left Snape alone in the tent! Not the cheeriest of Christmas stories--in fact, I got so caught up in the drama, I forgot about the Christmas theme at times!--but very satisfying in the end! Excellent!!! 🎄

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked this fic! I do tend to lean toward hurt/comfort in stories so I couldn't resist, even in a Christmas fic :)

Harry would have agreed to anything if it meant not spending another Christmas alone… even if it meant pretending to be the snarky Potion Master’s son. In response to the Just Pretending (For Christmas) challenge by me. Entry to Winter Fest 2021.

    Human sacrifice? Will there be a Christmas tree? I'm already laughing out loud, wondering how long it'll take for Harry to blow their cover! But hopefully he'll get to keep the winter clothes! Great, intriguing beginning!

    No pressure... No stress... (!) Can't wait to find out WHY Snape needs to present a son to his family, but take your time in the reveal--I always love your detailed, well-paced exposition! The family seems okay, though I wasn't sure at first whether they were magical or muggle. But first impressions aren't always trustworthy. Hang in there, Harry!

Once upon a time he was Harry of the orphanage of Leeds. But after a summer spent discovering that he and Professor Snape had been tied together for 12 years by their shared ghosts, Harry Potter had become Harry of Bainbridge, the boy Snape had adopted. Harry didn’t know if he’d ever get used to being called Master Snape, or if the kids at school would ever stop pestering him with questions about what it was like to live with the often dour Potions Professor. He was certain he was looking forward to going back to his new home for Christmas though, to spend it with his new father, and to learn what it meant to have a home to go back to. Harry had never celebrated a real Christmas before... Entry to Winter Fest 2021.

    Goooooo, Harry!!! He's pretty sharp at negotiating, but Snape isn't a Slytherin for nothing! Fascinating watching their relationship continue to develop!

    Absolutely awesome, wonderfully-detailed chapter! And you show so clearly how generosity is contagious! And while many people aren't able to do the physical labor itself, they're often very willing to help out those who can. 😊

Trapped in a safe house after fleeing from Voldemort, Harry has exactly 21 minutes to save Professor Snape.

    WOW!!! Just WOW!!! You REALLY poured an insane amount of originality into this story! (I don't want to get detailed--I hate spoilers!) But I was practically holding my breath through the brewing process, only to groan at the end, realizing what a Gryffindor would do to save the day! Absolutely AWESOME!!! And I loved the Christmas tree ornaments!

    Author's Response: Thanks so much, shadowienne! It was tremendous fun to write this story and come up with all the little details. And yes, brewing a potion under those circumstances must be very frustrating. :-) Thanks a million for your kind review. I wonder if those Christmas tree ornaments exist in our world? Somebody surely came up with that idea before me! :-)

He does not expect to be forgiven; he vows to never forget.

A one-shot that could be set in the "like poppy and memory"- universe by lesyeuxverts.

    An incredibly powerful short fic, full of emotion, descriptive details that really set the scenes, and the heartbreak of irretrievable loss. Beautifully done! I felt pulled into that intensely-private monologue...

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so happy you like it!! Merry Christmas!

It only took a moment for the world as Harry knew it to crumble. For everything he thought he knew to be cast into doubt. High on the Cliffs of Dover, he'll learn not just about himself, but his bitter old potions professor, and his beautiful rescuer, each scarred by love and loss. Secrets are waiting in the winds. It will take all the hope in the world to bring them to the light.

    I'm really enjoying seeing Severus interacting with a new character! But the clifftop scene description blew me away. I'd only ever seen pics of the White Cliffs in broad daylight, so I decided to Google images of them at sunset and sunrise -- WOW!!! I suppose people expect to see the cliffs WHITE, but the way the chalk and the sea capture the colored light... well, it's surprising that I'd never even thought about the edges of the day! Thank you for inspiring a wonderfully "enlightening" experience! Hmm... Now wondering if there are pics of the Cliffs under a full moon. *goes to see...*
