About me:

I'm a middle aged woman who really ought to know better, but found the HP universe 10 years ago and fell in love with the books. I had no idea that Fanfiction even existed until November 2010 and then proceeded to read everything I could find that was well written or recommended by someone else.


I was born and raised in America, I've never been out of the country and probably never will be. I'm trying very hard to get the British ism's right, but I'll probably make mistakes. My husband lived in Scotland on and off for ten years between 1975 and 1985 when he was in the Navy, so he obviously knows a lot more than I do and knows people to ask when he doesn't.


I have two wonderful beta's, badgerlady, who has a keen eye for punctuation errors and who also helps a lot with the Brit-picking and Crescent, who is marvelous with the spelling and plot ideas. I couldn't do this without them. I have an addiction to apostrophe's and double spaces at the end of sentences, and they help keep me in line. [Report This]

    This is lovely! I love how Severus reassures Harry that the house will protect him.

    I can't tell you how many stories, or bits of stories I've come up with just as I should be falling asleep!

    Author's Response: I do a lot of my writing half-asleep lol.  Or right after naps.

When Argus Filch first met Harry, he sympathised with the young wizard who showed all signs of having no remarkable magic at all. In fact, the squib could relate to the boy and therefore decided to help him. Together, the two unmagical pair work at Hogwarts where the young orphaned boy will become intrigued by a certain Potions Professor who works there.

    This is a very interesting idea. I never would have thought of making Filch into a guardian for Harry.
    I've seen so many SuperPower!Harry stories that Squib!Harry makes a nice change and I'm looking forward to where you go with this.

    Author's Response: Yay! I'm happy to know that this is a different sort of story for you, with Filch being the guardian and Harry being a squib (well, semi-squib). Thank you for your review.

In which Voldemort’s plans are upset, Severus is annoyed, and Harry has a new career goal. There is also a kitten, because kittens are cool. Entry into the 2012 Prompt Fest

    This was hilarious! I really enjoyed it.
