About me:

A few things about myself:    

   1) I am Canadian (cough ... and proud of it)

    2) I absolutely love the readers on this site, and hearing their thoughts/questions either by reviews or messaging makes me simply dance. 

   3) I have a pet newt. He is so old it's not even funny. Yeah, 14 yrs. Pet store said 3. Good thing I like him. 

   4) Lastly: I got into writing fanfiction here for two reasons.

           A) The first is that I love to write. And not only that, I wanted to learn to write.

           B) Potions and Snitches is a great place for learning.

     Thus - I've made a lot of mistakes writing, but because of how  awesome the reviewers are, I've learned from those mistakes and gotten better. The kindness of the readers has kept me coming back time and time again, and really helped me improve my writing. At this point I'm now working on an original novel, meaning fanfiction has taken a back seat. That was always the goal, and I hope one day to take my writing somewhere besides just the internet and my friends' bookshelves. 

     Well, that's all folks!

 P.S. I am on fanfiction.net, but my pen name is LittleWhitetail, rather than Whitetail. 

  Current Project: Jan 1st 2016 update - Writing is going quite well. Still taking a break from fanfiction. Not promising any new P&S stories, but it isn't impossible. My original novel is slow but progressing, and is into some of the final drafts. Had some success in the past year - got a short story published! If you'd like to read the story, check out Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Possible. The story is called "The Pivotal Moment". Also, on a fanfiction note, I still read reviews (but am slow to answer). Also, feel free to message me - questions, concerns, anything. I do love hearing from people here. Cheers!

Little Harry has just found a new home with Severus Snape. When Snape becomes ill and unable to care for him, a new person in the form of a very pretty nanny wreaks havoc on Harry's now well-ordered life.

    Lol, Harry's reaction was great! I really enjoyed the appearance of Charlie Weasley, or at least I assume it was him, considering the love of animals.I enjoyed Severus' reaction to Amelia Bones - and who can blame him! This is a really good read so far. Your writing flows nicely. Can't wait for the next chapter. ;)

    Author's Response:

    It was Charlie Weasley and he was being his typical self, wasn't he? 

    Thanks so much for your reviews.  They've made my day.


After the devastating events of the Final Battle, Harry tries to get Professor Snape the respect he deserves by having the Ministry hang the professor's portrait in the Headmaster's office. Could there be more than meets the eye with Professor Snape, however?

    Ha! I knew it! I knew it! So ... Severus is alive, huh? Intriguing story. I liked when Professor Sinistra resigned. Not a lot was said on her part, but you could still feel her pain quite acutely.

    Author's Response: Rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated. :D Thanks.

Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    Oh I sooo hope that it's Snape in the house with Sinistra! That would be lovely. Not sure if Harry would use the word git around his young sons though ... but I thought Ron's comment on what Harry would say to her was very funny! ;)

    Author's Response: Thanks. :D

Title: Chapter 3: Here Comes a Lullaby 30 Mar 2013
Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    How interesting. A very different explanation of what happened. I definitely enjoyed it, and I thought you kept Snape sufficiently in character with his snarky remarks. I liked how idealistic Harry was in caparison to Snape's realistic (yet slightly bitter) views.

    Author's Response: Thank you.

“The champions' families are invited to watch the final task, you know.” - Professor McGonagall, GoF Page 534. What happens when the Dursley’s come to watch the last task in the Triwizard Tournament, and how will Severus Snape deal with the fallout?

    Hmmm ... interesting kickoff. I like your explanation of why the Dursleys would come. I see you've taken some liberties with the canon plot, but I don't really mind. I have taught myself to expect GoF fanfics to be really different from canon because it is my favorite book and otherwise I'd nitpick! Although, on the subject of nitpicking (Sorry, hehe, told myself I wouldn't do that) I don't know if this was intentional, but didn't Harry fight the Hungarian Horntail, rather than the Fireball? Forgive me if I am wrong but it just didn't seem to be an intentional change, like having Luna appear and whatnot. ;) Anyway, fun chapter.
    The Dursleys seem a little frighteningly tame, and that will certainly add to the grandeur of the eventual disaster that they are bound to create! Oh, and I liked Dudley's enthusiasm. Slightly frightened, but in awe. Enough rambling ... looking forward to next chapter!

Response to Natural Disaster at Hogwarts challenge. Hogwarts has always been considered the safest place in the magical world, protected from any possible danger. But what happens something no one could've imagined occurs? Something literally Earth Shattering? Will the school, and more important its occupants ever recover? And how will it affect the relationship between Harry and Snape?

    Ooh, interesting. I am so glad someone answered my challenge! And earthquake, yikes! Let's hope they're all alright!

Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    Oh dear, who is going to rescue the Gryffindors? And Snape, whatever happened to him? And Harry? I guess I'll just have to wait and see! I liked the image of the stairs all fallen in. Must have been pretty high up on the richter scale for the castle to be in such trouble.

Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    Yikes, suspenseful! Maybe they could fly the Gryffindors out of the tower one by one, or summon brooms up to the tower for them? In someone can get in ... they should be able to get out, assuming another cave-in doesn't happen (eek!). By the way, there were a few spelling errors (tricky ones that word can't catch), like you used creek instead of creak when you were referring to the ceiling making noise. Just thought you might like to know so you can make the next chapter even better. I sense an epic rescue in the future! Looking forward to the next chapter,and good job!

    No a cliffhanger! I guess I will just have to wait and see what happened to Harry!

    Oh no, poor Harry! Maybe they could get Madam Pomfrey to fly up if they can find her? I hope Harry and Neville are okay. I liked how to the point Snape was with everyone.
