I don't know exactly what to say about myself. Let's see... I am a grandmother of 8, 5 girls and 3 boys. I am in my 50's and obsessed with Harry Potter. I get very upset when someone says the books are just for kids. I live in the USA, but I would love to live in Harry's world.
I constantly have plot bunnies or stories running through my mind. I often find myself at work wishing for paper and a pen to jot down things I think of for my WIPs or for new stories.
I have several WIPs and lots of plot bunnies to work on, so keep checking for new stories from me.
I am a moderater of the Marauder Era category. I am also an admin on this site and the forums. I manage several of the sections on the Beta Forums and I am the Hufflepuff Head of House. I am also a Professor on the Beta Boards.
I am known in the Hufflepuff house and around the board as the Canon Queen. I am quick to find canon errors in stories, so if you are submitting especially to Marauder Era, make sure of your canon facts.

The Epic Tale of the Hogwarts Food-fight by Gin_Drinka
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: "Some mistakes are too much fun to make just once."
After Lily Evans, Head Girl of Hogwarts, starts a food-fight with James Potter, Head Boy of Hogwarts, they are both given detention for the rest of the year, and are assigned a 'detention journal', which the staff say will help to settle their 'overwhelming and disturbing differences'. We have come across Lily's journal; her take on why the whole affair ever started, her intriguing relationship with one ‘supreme git of the galaxy’, the extents to which she will go for revenge and where it will lead her...
"And if for some unknown reason you come across this, Potter, and the paragraph above does not manage to penetrate your unusually thick head and convince you of my stupendous dislike of you, I hope the following sentence helps: I HATE YOU!"

****UPDATE**** 7/31/08 Chapter Five just submitted :) ********
7/30/2011 Years later I'm finally getting ready to update this story. I've re-written this chapter five times so far now. Chapters 5 and 6 sort of blend together, I'm trying to pick a good separation point. Chapter 5 is less Draco. Chapter 6 is ALL Draco. Thanks to anyone who has stuck with this story.

CHAPTER FIVE IS VALIDATED AND UP! :D Reviews are appreciated.
Scorpius Malfoy and the Sins of the Fathers by Hotrav

Shining Through Blackness by luinrina
Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: Isla was born into a well-known and respected family: the Blacks. She grew up with their traditions and was proud to be who she was – until she met someone who showed her that what she knew was not the only world.
Follow a young witch through her teenage years and discover how a traditional one will change and rebel against what she believed was the only truth.
Due to plot development in chapters nine and ten I've changed the warning from "None" to "Sexual Situations" for the rest of the story. In some chapters there are still punishments which do not qualify as “Abuse”; those are meant as reprimands for bad behaviour, a common method in the middle of the nineteenth century. If you can’t stand children being smacked by parents or others as well as any sexual situation occuring, do not read that story. You have been warned…
Everything Happens for a Reason by MerrryD
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Every student plans on making their final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry the most memorable one ever. Eight in particular want to make those minutes really count. Except, they each have a different idea of how to go about doing it.
James Potter would like to waltz into Lily Evans’s life and throw it completely off course. Julie McGuire didn’t exactly plan on rescuing Remus Lupin, but now that she has, why not just go with it? Marlene McKinnon should have know what she got herself into when she kissed Sirius Black the first time, but that boy has a way of knocking her senseless. Emmeline Vance had planned to just sit back and watch it all happen, until Roxanna Louchester, her ex-friend, barged in and turned everything upside down.
Suddenly they’ve gone from only wanting the most memorable year, to achieving it. It’s a year of love and lust. It’s a year of tears and fights. It’s a year of finding yourself. It’s a year of learning to lose. It’s a year that none of them are likely to forget.
