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.

    Lovely, and a joy to read.

For a Christmas gift, Severus Snape receives a Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes Patented Daydream Charm. What sort of Daydream will he have… ?

    Poor Professor Snape. He didn't have a daydream, he had a nightmare, albeit a hilarious one that was tons of fun to read. Nicely done!

    Author's Response: Hee! Thanks for saying so! The deeper workings of Snape's mind must truly take a toll on the poor guy... So glad you enjoyed the story, and many thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Merry Christmas! c24;

Five year old Harry has finished his letter to Father Christmas. Now all Severus has to do is read it!

Title: Chapter 1: The Letter 22 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    This is wonderful. It is sweet, and humorous, and touching. I like that Harry's letter, when Severus finally gets his hands on it, has many misspelled words, because that makes it so much more genuine, and precious (I can see Snape putting this into safekeeping and pulling it out every Christmas to read over again). This made me laugh: "Severus Snape had never run through the corridors of Hogwarts quite so fast in his entire life. Several students were knocked down in the process, and even Peeves was having a hard time keeping up with him." (I could totally picture that happening) I really enjoyed reading this!

On Christmas Eve, Harry makes a mistake that nearly costs him his life, and now nothing short of a miracle is able to save him. A frantic Lily shows herself to Severus, pleading to save her son. Will Severus be the bringer of a miracle, or will young Harry be doomed to never see another Christmas again?

    Beautiful ending. I really like the gifts that Severus gave to Harry, and how Lily came to him at the stroke of midnight, just as Harry had passed out looking at the angel. Lovely Christmas story.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! =)

Entrant for the Holiday Fic fest 2015. Harry is the adopted son of Tobias Snape. Now Tobias has promised to invite his other son home for Christmas and Harry is eagerly looking forward to meet his “brother”, whom he has never met before.

    Beautiful, fitting ending. :-) I really enjoyed reading this.

Title: Chapter 4: Christmas Eve 27 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    That sounds like a lovely gingerbread house...Hogwarts version. I like that, though the ice seemed to break between Harry and Severus in the previous chapter, there are still kinks to iron out, and Harry is still having some misgivings. Nice.

Title: Chapter 5: Finding a Gift 27 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    You captured a child's excitement at seeing magic for the first time well, and the last rush for holiday shopping nicely, too. Very good chapter.

Title: Chapter 3: Family Bonding 27 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I like how Severus started warming up to Harry, and how he patiently answered all of Harry's questions (that can be a feat in and of itself, answering a kid's questions). Very nicely done.

Title: Chapter 1: A Letter from Home 27 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I love the start of this AU, and am hooked by this opening chapter. I'm as eager to know what the mysterious present is, as Tobias.

Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Off to not as happy a start as Harry had hoped. Hopefully Tobias is right and Severus will snap out of this funk that he's in, though it must've been quite a shock for him to see Harry Potter in his home. Nicely done.
