About me:

I am nearly thirty, mother of three and work as a family helper with system therapy methods for a small, fine company in Berlin.

I grew up in the East of Germany, hence, I still appreciate bananas (literally and symbolically) and speak Russian. I have studied Pedagogy, Sociology and Psychology.

The Potterverse fascinates me for many reasons. The main one... it is my secret escape from a rather harsh reality.

As I wake at stupid o'clock every morning, I have time to write, too. The topics are usually dark and involve abuse, violence, rape and severe psychological problems.

I listen to a lot of music, mostly classical. A long time ago, I have applied to study Church Music (without being religious), but I wasn't accepted. Oh well.

My favourite authors here are: Bellegeste, Cecelle, ApollinaV, FoolishWishmaker, Malora, owlsaway, WatchersGoddess, Seraphin1977 and ObsidianEmbrace.

In general I like to read Fyodor Dostoevski, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov and Mikhael Sholokhov. The Russians just write the best stories in my opinion. Full of melancholy and sadness and alcoholism and poverty. Real and raw and awesome.

I smoke, drink and work too much.

Harry Potter starts Hogwarts with high hopes of finding himself a real family, and holds tightly to this hope despite the torture his new Potion's Master seems intent on putting him through. Can Harry's hope hold out long enough to see his dream through?

    What a great story! Snape really was way too harsh, it makes sense that Harry thinks this way. Canon Harry doesn't really seem to have too many of those issues which seems fairly unrealistic. I do hope dear Severus warms up a bit more, the clothes thing was very sweet.

Harry Potter has experienced a horrible summer before his 6th year and Snape is the one who discovers it. Can the two of them overcome their differences in an effort to heal Harry’s wounds? ***COMPLETE***

    Awesome. I love your dark topics, how you tackle them with dignity and don't euphemise or play things down like many others. I like that your Snape doesn't become the Mother Of The Year in every story and that Harry has got some defiance in him, despite the horrible things that keep happening to him.

    Well done!

Dumbledore’s last secret unveils a chasm of unexpected emotion as the true parentage of Harry Potter is revealed. Severitus-like. ***COMPLETE***

    I read this story on my PDA while trying to commute with trams and city trains. I missed every single stop, I couldn't take my eyes off your awesome writing.

    Your Snape is spot on, so is your Harry.

    13 years! That is what would have happened, they both are so stubborn.

    I found the whole immune dysfunction/ sickness, and then coma stuff really well done, so well done that it was difficult to read.

    I have spoken to my own boy in a coma, for weeks, with no reaction, everyone being there, like in your story (grandparents and all). I've seen children who had degenerative disease and we seemed to have been the only lucky ones in the whole ICU who had our child coming back to us (though it can take months to wake from a coma, but then, my boy is no wizard ;) )

    ramble ramble

    Anyway... well done, it was gorgeous.

    Beautiful.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much. <3.

A fast little read about what happens when Harry isn't aware that someone is listening to him rant.

    Now that was clever! I enjoyed the rant. This tin thing is SO like Albus, what an idiot. It's well written, too.

    PS Yes, my boy is okay now, thank you for asking :)

    Author's Response: You're welcome, and I'm so glad he's ok!

After the war, Harry attacks Snape with an unorthodox and potentially lethal proposal. Chaos ensues.

    Oh, I don't know what to hope. I hope they both regain some new strength from somewhere... wherever.

    Well written, I really liked it.

Snape loses control and severely injures Harry. Both of them must deal with the consequences. The question is, will they have to deal with them alone, or will they be able to work through them together?

    It's excellent. I really enjoyed it. I have to say that I find Dumbledore's judgements, everyone's a little harsh. From you are decribing, he had a flashback. Temporary insanity. He NEVER meant to hurt actual Harry like that.

    I keep checking every day for an update...

Challenge By Taryn:

Harry says "It's nothing," when Snape asks about (something. Your choice. Say, being abused by the Dursleys. Or Sirius's death or something.). Snape believes him.

    Oh nooooo! Where are the time turners when you need them? Poor Harry, poor Severus.

    Nicely done.

    Author's Response: Thanks...I dont think I'm finish with this series yet tho lol

An innocent question made Severus Snape reflect on what happened in the past few months. What would he reply to Harry Potter, his once hated student? One shot.

    Looking forward to reading more. This is a quite good, a little bit summarised but for the first FF very acceptable :)
