Final Note 6 - June 2018:

Although it has already been a long time since I have posted or updated anything, it is time to make it official.

I will no longer be writing fanfiction.

I haven't come to this decision because I have run out of ideas or inspiration for my current works - to the contrary, I have put a lot of thought and planning into each of them. Even now, the moments and scenes I had planned live happily in my head. The issue becomes the fact that I have limited free time, so I must choose how to spend it. This is why there have so often been extremely long breaks between updates. In turn, this becomes unfair to readers, as I know that they often have limited free time as well and it is very easy to forget the plot of a story that wasn't born within your own head (and sometimes even then!).

Now, I know many of you would continue to wait for updates. We lovers of fanfiction are tenacious that way. However, since my free time is limited, I have decided that my focus needs to be on my original works.

In that spirit, though a part of me is saddened, I hereby abandon all my current works-in-progress. I will not be updating them again. However, I also open my stories up for adoption, should anyone be interested in continuing them in my stead. (Though, to be clear, I don't honestly think anyone would, but) I ask only that I be credited and that no large portions of my work, incomplete or no, be copied by another (so please link/direct readers back to my work if you continue it).

I've had such a great time in this fandom. Thanks to all who've helped keep the magic alive!

Warm regards,

Dream Painter

    A great start! Poor Harry. It'd be just like the Dursleys to abandon him in such a way. The image of Snape re-emerging from the kitchen with a knife and fork without explanation gave me a good chuckle!

    I have a feeling I know why Snape is scowling so fiercely. Frankly, it's surprising Albus doesn't get hexed more often than he does. lol

    A great chapter - poor Harry. That would be such a rude shock. Not that he was ever close to his relatives, but for them to up and move without so much as telling him is harsh.

    Goodness, this arrangement is getting to a rough start, isn't it? Calm yourself, Sev - the kid's just hungry, for crying out loud.

    I can just see Snape destroying his lab several times over in frustration, though. Dumbledore seems to have that effect on people!

    Poor Harry - what an awful nightmare! I hope Snape can come to be more patient with him, soon. He's only eleven!

    Totally giggling over Snape's shock that Harry plans out his essays. Very amusing. Nicely writ.

    Good chapter - I really, really wanna know what is up with Snape and the collectible animal figurines, though!

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 21 Sep 2015
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Well, THAT doesn't sound good! Why does that moron want to visit all of the sudden?

    Nice touch about the "poison" being a soporific. I like.

    Great chapter! Albus and his bloody optimism - poor Severus. :P

    I am really enjoying this story!

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 21 Sep 2015
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    What is with Snape and the figurines? :P I do hope you explain soon - I'm most curious! And no owls, hmm? This sounds suspiciously familiar, methinks...

    Great chapter! I look forward to an update.

    Awwww, poor Harry (*does not feel the least sorry for the spider*). Great update! Love how Snape's certain he must've broke Harry. :P And it was so great to have Snape sharing some memories about Lily with the boy. Nicely writ!
