About me:

 

My writing history is nonfiction, academic writing, and plays. This'll be my first real attempt at fiction, and I hope it goes well. There won't be any slash, but I don't have any other strict guidelines at this point.

I'm currently pursuing my doctorate in psychology, and have a graduate degree in social work, which means my work naturally gravitates toward those fields. I've always thought that Harry Potter has depth of emotion that I'd like to tackle in my own fiction.

I've written a few articles for the Huff Post about mental health and also write about it extensively on my blog. 

 

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate reviews and constructive criticism!

    This is a great story, I'm really enjoying it!

Still reeling from the revelation that they are father and son, Harry and Snape are suddenly thrust together, when they are forced to reluctantly participate in Hogwarts' first Father and Son's Day; a scheme thought up by the manipulative Albus Dumbledore. Will Dumbledore's plan to bring Harry and Snape closer, backfire, or will father and son finally begin to understand and care for each other? Entry in the 2009 Challenge Fest. In Response to the Father-Son Day at Hogwarts Challenge by JMGodfreyIII.

    I really enjoyed this story! Your description of the Quidditch game was fantastic. I felt like I was there, which is a mark of great writing, in my opinion. :)

    Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much. I'm honoured that you think so.

After 4th year, Harry hasn't had it easy. With everything that's going on and school, how much more can he take before he reaches his breaking point? He finds help in the least expected person. Eventual Severus adopts Harry fic. AU

    Great chapter! I loved the way Fred and George reassure Harry, very nice. :)

    I like that you brought McGonagall into this chapter, it worked really well. Great job! :)

    Author's Response: Thanks so much :D

Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

    I love the scene with Harry's first magic. Really nice!

Reviewer: topeswin (Signed)
    Thanks for the update. I really like the way this story is progressing! :)

This is the sequel to Harry Potter's Second Chance. You really ought to read that first or you'll be a bit lost. Voldemort is completely dead. Harry is 6 years old after having de-aged himself with an ancient and illegal potion. Albus is dying, but Severus hopes to gain permission to brew the same potion and save the old wizard.

Canon (more or less) up til the end of the fourth book, AU after that. Be aware that Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes was begun after the war, and the twins did not attend their 6th year.
