About me:

So, the basics I guess are that I'm a girl from Aus (born 1990) and my name is Emily. I love writing and reading, and fanfics are an obsession of mine.

Severus Tobias Snape is the most complex and fascinating character I have ever come across, as is his relationship with Harry. I cannot get enough of reading fics about the two of them, or just Snape on his own. Bless his dirty socks :)

    I nearly didn't review this, because I couldn't find the right words. But that would be silly of me. This oneshot touched me because what you wrote is just so real, I can honestly imagine that it did happen. It works really well and fits in with canon. Excellent job.

After a trip to Little Whinging to satisfy his curiosity, Severus returned to Hogwarts sporting a present from the Boy-Who-Lived… drool and bogies. And Potter, only sixteen-months-old, had already earned himself a detention.

In response to the Tug challenge by lilette.

Reviewer: MistressSnape (Signed)
    I usually prefer fics that stick to canon as much as possible, but this was brilliant! Getting rid of Umbridge was just an added bonus to the grudging and still snarky acceptance between Harry and Snape. Well done :)

    Author's Response: Thank you very much! It's fantastic that you liked it despite the fact it's quite AU - I certainly had fun finding a way to ditch Umbridge, she didn't get enough comeuppance in the books! And I'm glad you liked Snape and Harry too ;)

Take one Severus Snape, one baby Potter, and one insane Headmaster; simmer gently and stir well. Don't forget to duck! AU Oneshot. Entrant in the 2009 Prompt Fest. Prompts: "Duck!" and Headmaster Potter

    This was incredibly sad but uplifting at the same time, if that makes sense. The lyrics worked really well in it.

    Author's Response:

    It makes sense--I wanted Harry and Snape to feel hopeful at the end about their relationship, even though other things didn't work out too well for them in the past.  I actually wrote the story to fit the lyrics, instead of choosing a song to fit the story.  I really wanted to make the song into a songfic and so for that reason, the words go well with the story.  Thanks for reading!

    -P.G. 


In 'The Goblet of Fire', the 4th year potions classes are working on poison antidotes. Harry is called away before the assignment is complete...what if he had stayed?

    This was incredible! I don't understand how it cannot have more reviews. I absolutely loved it. And Snape was in character the entire time, which I loved :)

What REALLY happened in the bathroom during that second round of Legilimency? When viewing Snape's memories in the Pensieve, Harry finds a surprising answer. One-shot.

    GAHH!! How could people have missed the significance before?! You're an absolute genius. And I absolutely ruddy well loved this. Characterisations were perfect, and I love the last line; it gives a real sense that THEIR story is not over, just because this fic is. I hope that makes sense... I'm a bit hyper at the moment :)
    Are you planning on a sequel? It'd be fascinating to see their interaction when Harry returns to Hogwarts. I'm sure he has loads of questions to ask Severus.
    Anyway, brilliant fic!! x

    Author's Response: Wheee! Thank you so much! As for why people didn't see the significance before-- I think JKR is a master of misdirection, like literary sleight of hand. We all saw what she HOPED we'd see, so we wouldn't focus on her other hand! It's THERE-- if we look away from the OBVIOUS! /// As for my being a "genius"-- well, my OTHER brilliant idea from HBP was that in DH we'd find out Lupin was an unmarked Death Eater! (Glad I was wrong on that score!!) /// No specific sequel planned at this time, but I WON'T say "never"! So glad you enjoyed it, and THANKS for taking the time to tell me so!

Harry shares an unforgettable detention with Snape. One-shot.

    Eeee! *Flails* This was gorgeous! I laughed hysterically when Snape asked him to sing. And I love fics that end with an Obliviate, because it convinces me that it really happened ;)

    Author's Response: Your praise is music to my ears! I wasn't sure how my attempt at humor would come across; I feel more comfortable writing dramatic stuff than comedy, but it seems to have worked out! THANKS for letting me know! I love your concept regarding ending stories with an Obliviate-- I just thought Snape wouldn't trust Harry enough to keep his personal life secret!
