About me:

I love to read, and I love to write. I try to write a review for every story that I read. I usually leave reviews at the end of the story if there are multiple chapters, but if a chapter is particularily good I will sometimes feel compelled to leave a review at that chapter. 

 

I am a big fan of a family made up of Severus Snape, Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy. I know that in the books that would never happen in a million years, but that is what fanfiction is for right? I like to see all the different ways that the three come together as a family that people have come up with.

 

I particularily identify with Luna as a character. She is rather special in my mind because she is not afraid to be who she is and you just have to respect that even if that means in the books all her belongings disappear for a while. I especially like fics where Luna ends up with either Draco or Harry.

Son of a Death Eater by RhiannanT starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 93]
Blaise probably couldn't expect much, this time. Blaise was a Death Eater's kid, raised by, if not always Death Eaters, at least not blood traitors. Molly Weasley's soul was so clean it squeaked. It was a good thing Blaise had Snape to fall back on, for awhile. Mrs. Weasley was just too...not a Death Eater. Way, way too not a Death Eater to want to keep Blaise for very long.

A Life Unsettled by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 174]
Cauldron’s bubbled. Potions simmered. And Snape was yelling at Neville again. Just another ordinary day in Potions class, or so they all thought. When a potion reveals something out of the ordinary, Harry’s life is changed forever, and not in a positive way. Was it so unreasonable to ask that he be allowed to make it through sixth year like a normal teenager?

Before Harry arrives at Hogwarts, the faculty have a meeting and decide that Harry will need a mentor to help him adjust, keep him out of trouble, and make protecting him easier. They decide that this person should the Head of the House into which Harry is sorted, presumably Minerva McGonagall. But things, of course, don't turn out as planned, and Harry is harder to deal with than anyone expected. Nobody asked him if he wanted a mentor, after all...

NOTE: This story has a prologue. It is not necessary to the plot of the story, but if you wish to read it, it is called(predictably enough) 'Prologue to Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat'
