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.

    Nice, tense read throughout. I am eager to read more to see how badly Harry was injured.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. :)

    I really do enjoy how you write the interaction between Sinistra and Severus and am very intrigued as to how the meeting with the Slytherins will turn out as well as how Severus' talk with Harry will go. Looking forward to more.

    Author's Response:

    I'm glad you like how I write those two. Most of my stories usually have some place where Snape and Sinistra are talking. I must admit that I don't usually write Sinistra this way, but she does seem to be more fun to write as this version. The talk with Harry is still coming up. Thanks for the review. :)

    It is a wonder how Aurora seems to know people's secrets, which adds a lot to the mystery of this. I like how you portray her and that even Severus is a bit fearful of her. Am looking forward to more.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I should have some more done tomorrow, hopefully. :)

Title: Chapter 7: Pensieve 02 Apr 2010
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Loved the look at what happened through the pensieve as it revealed quite a bit. Snape's accompanying actions and emotions as he watched were marvelously drawn.

    Author's Response: I didn't know how far to go in depth with his emotions when writing it. Thanks for the review. :)

Title: Chapter 8: Decisions 02 Apr 2010
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Beautifully written. I liked how you chose to reveal just a portion of the possible abuse Harry has suffered over the years as Severus read his file and stopped reading after a certain point. Sinistra's interference was nice as well and allowed Harry to break the silence with commentary on her, which was safer ground than everything else which hung between them. I am looking forward to more.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)

Title: Chapter 14: Blood That Stains the Most 19 Apr 2010
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I like that you have Albus seeing the errors of his ways and that he admits to thinking of Severus as a son. I do hope that Harry and Severus will be able to have some good moments as well. Nice chapter.

    Author's Response: Thanks. They will definitely have some good moments coming up. :)

She wants a child. He needs a mother. But somehow, it's never that simple. A response to ObsidianEmbrace's "Mother Bella" challenge.

    Nice view into the mind of Bellatrix. I am quite intrigued, wondering how it all came to be.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Bellatrix is tricky to write, especially in first person, considering she's kind of insane.

Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 2 19 Mar 2010
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Bellatrix's thoughts are quite revealing and nicely dark. She sounds almost sane in her insanity - as any insane person would. Nice work.

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm a little worried that I managed to get her to sound that normal (what does that say about me, eh?) but mostly I'm glad it's a good read.

Snape stumbles upon Harry at the top of the Astronomy Tower just a few nights after Sirius’ death and the revealing of Harry’s fate. With Harry standing on the wall, arms outstretched and rambling on about normalcy and destinies, perhaps Snape has reason to worry.

    Beautiful one-shot. Loved the imagery of life teeming below the surface as well as the repetition at the end of what was written at the beginning. Wonderful work.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! I had great fun writing both those parts.

    Thanks for reviewing!


People don’t fit into labels, or neat little boxes. Can you ever say someone is really just smart, loyal, cunning, or brave? Never a mixture? Always a definitive line, thick and black, clean cut? No of course not. The sorting hat stops sorting. What effect will this have on Snape and a young Harry?

    Alphabetical arrangement sounds like a marvelous idea. I liked how you described Professor Sprout and how you have written Professor Snape as a take charge, though reluctantly, professor. I look forward to more of this highly entertaining story.

    Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I think alphabetical arrangement works for the situation. Glad you like it! :)
