About me:

My name is Laura. I'm a fultime college student and I work part time at a doctors office. I started reading the Harry Potter series a couple of years ago (long after it had become popular). Originally, I wasn't going to be dragged into a fad... but then the book was just sitting on the footstood and I was really quite bored. Five books later I was attached (the sixth has since come out, I'm not so sure about that one). My friend Nefla kept sending me links to a fanfic she called AYLNO. I didn't know what that was all about, and kept shrugging her off. It wasn't until she came over and started reading the fic to me, that I finally started reading AYLNO (A Year Like None Other). The story was really quite long (completed now, by Aspen in the Sunlight, go read it if you haven't) and I spent every waking moment finishing the story.. Once I was done, I felt really quite sad, I wanted more...

So I started writing my own story. Harry Potter and the Ferratilis Potion. I'm trying to be creative with it, although it mirrors AYLNO in many ways. It's a Snape adopts Harry fic, (and a Draco will be in there somewhere). My friend Nefla pesteres me daily to write, so I suppose there'd be no fic without her influence. Along the way, I picked up an awesome beta, Sunsethill. She keeps my grammer in tact and my story flowing.

I've also gotten quite interested in kidfics, I find little Harry very cute. I briefly deaged Harry (to a young age) in HP and the F. Potion, but I wanted to do more. So I've just started my second story, A Potions Accident, is going to be a cute little kidfic. All of you who read my first story, never fear, I won't abandon it. This second story is more of my "just for fun" story. Not that both aren't fun... but A Potions Accident will be a lot less formal. I won't worry about technicalities and the plot may be a bit random. Just a bunch of cute little kids...

I also wrote a one-shot, Braving Spiders which was my first challenge response... it's an Sevitus.

Ah, and my pet (coming soon as Jan says) is named Petrie. (And he is very cute, trust me...)

    This story is so cute. I love kidfics, and it's fun to see how fast you update. Plus you've got a lot of interesting ideas. And Harry is so cute! I can't wait for an update!

    Author's Response: Soon, updates soon, I promise.  Hmm, are there pools going to see how fast I get a new chappie out?  'cuz I want in . . . though I might have an unfair advantage in guessing.  ;-)

    I pick Wednesday. I get a choice right? Man this seems like a really crazy cliffy. I'm actually semi glad Harry lost it... but now Harry will feel even more guilty... It's cool though, that he was so powerful. Man I can't wait for an update. It's almost Wednesday isn't it? So you're going to post really soon right? Or, okay, I'll stop, you'll post when you post. I will survive. Um, well sorry for the super hyper/not-quite-there review. Great chapter, great story (all your stories really), and I wish you happy writing.

    I knew it would be Wednesday (see it's still wed. pst!) I was holding out, hoping for an update, and what did I find?! Well, anyway, to review:

    I enjoyed this chapter, it was a great wrap up to what occurred in the last one. Especially since Snape was all "snapy", being angry and snapping at everyone. But he is still lucid and able to respond quickly to the situation. (I say very in character Snape and most enjoyable to read...) Some stories go a little overboard with the angry Snape and have him overreact and make mistakes all the time. You balance out is anger/rashness with keeping Snape functional/cool. I'm rambling... hopefully you get what I'm trying to say.

    I also liked Harry's reaction. I'm glad he's all horrified at what he did (although I think Dumbledore got what he was asking for (sorta)... even though no one really deserves to suffer).

    Dumbledore's reaction was also good. I'm glad he's decided to give Harry and Snape some space. Minerva was good too... Hmmm that's all your characters right? Well the chapter was all around good, so that makes sense.

    Again, I can't wait for an update. But as I'm reading all your stories, I suppose I'll be okay. (And there's no crazy cliffy this time!) I hope you enjoyed this semi-long review, even if it's a bit rambly... and happy writing.

Reviewer: Arualcopia (Signed)
    I love it. It was awesome, especially since I was all excited to see what Saya would do (seeing as that's "me"). I don't think it's a Mary Sue, because you didn't make any of the characters super perfect or anything. I can't wait till the next chapter. I loved the prank, even gone bad. And I loved how you did Saya, and especially since me and the other (did she have a name?) witch ran of before Angel noticed... ha ha!

    Author's Response:

    I'm glad you liked it ^-^ (relieved too. . .)

    In this chapter we had; -your 'Saya'

                                     - Fairycatcher1's 'Rose'

                               and - Starangel's 'Angel'

    *snickers* I think I like the 'prank gone wrong' better than what the original would have been. ^v^
