About me:

Not much to say about me.  I like reading and writing Harry Potter fanfiction.  I have been enjoying reading works on this site for a couple of months now and decided that I might as well make it official as I have been having difficulty submitting reviews with the captcha thing as it is always telling me I have misentered the numbers.

Simple Wisps of Snow by silvermoonfae starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 39]
Winter has come again and all seems well in the castle. Christmas is all but around the corner. And even Snape seems more...approachable. But is it really? Is it all too good to be true? What secrets does the castle hide? And what is the enigma of The-Boy-Who-Lived?(Edited recently)

Season of Warmth by Snapegirl starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 250]
Just before Christmas, Harry hears the basilisk again and believes he's going mad. Why else would he hear a voice that no one else can, talking about blood and death? Unable to take the stress, he flees the castle in the middle of a blizzard. Severus Snape follows him and they end up trapped in a cave, along with a very rare creature. Will they survive to see Christmas morning? Will they finally learn to set aside old grudges and impressions and learn the truth about each other? Christmas 2010 fic! Sick!Harry and sick!Severus, AU, mentor/apprentice, COS.

Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    This was a wonderful chapter. I really like the Wise One and her care for Harry and Severus.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I think she's a very motherly type snake . . .sort of like a cross between Eileen and Lily and Molly.

Title: Chapter 5: Tell Me No Lies 14 Dec 2010
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I really enjoyed this chapter and like how Harry and Severus are getting along. There are still some hurdles to overcome which is nice. I am very much looking forward to reading more.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying my story!

Title: Chapter 6: Tale of a Basilisk 16 Dec 2010
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Wonderful chapter. I really liked how the Wise One helped Severus succeed in making Harry well. Beautiful scenery as she goes out to hunt as well - love the sparkling diamonds similie for the snow beneath the moonlight as well as how she glowed with the brightness of a thousand suns. You are building quite a fascinating fantasy.

Magic Actually by Sita Z starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 57]
In his first year at Hogwarts, Harry is the only Gryffindor who signs up to stay at school for Christmas. At Dumbledore’s suggestion, he is temporarily transferred to the Slytherin dorms so he won’t spend Christmas morning alone. In Severus Snape’s opinion, not one of the Headmaster’s better ideas…

    This was lovely and very touching.

Moment of Impact by Suite Sambo starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 272]
An accident the summer before 6th year puts Dumbledore's plans for Harry in motion sooner than planned. Will an unexpected truce with Snape better prepare Harry for what is to come? An introspective Snape mentors Harry fic with all the regular players, told from Harry's point of view. Slightly AU after OOTP.

    Wonderful chapter. I love all of the water imagery that you use in this as well as the connection between the womb and trust that you used in this chapter. You write beautifully.
