I'm Helaina (not that big of a secret, I know) and...I write things! I didn't used to publish my things, but somebody said I should and directed me here, so there ya go. I have several other plans for fanfics in the future, but for now I'm sticking with "The Path of a Star."
Um...stuff about me. I'm unique. I like all the stuff normal people don't like: bugs, reptiles, books, alone time. I also don't like things normal people (well...normal girls) do like: shopping, clothes, dogs, or anything pink. I used to have a wide variety of pets, including at one time a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach named Egg. However, I've settled with 2 kittens, 2 adult cats, and a pet snake. I simply LOVE the ocean and everything about it, and I'm quite an intelligent person XD. Only book wise; I have the common sense and logical thinking of a flea :P I get a new set of favorite words every once in a while. The current ones are "loquacious," "uncouth," and "surreptiously."
Well, that's all for now folks! If I come up with more, I'll add it. As usual, when I get home from school, my brain turns OFF. Ta!

Good Grace Is Hard to Come By by Enneirda
Rated: Professors •Summary: Redemption has always had a funny ring to it...

This wasn't going too well.
He grinned manically as he pulled his fist back once more to deliver the blow. My cheekbone snapped. He retracted his hand once more. In a split second, I felt as if he should actually kill me; to end this sad story called my life.

Hogwarts Houses Divided by Inverarity
Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Summary:
Teddy Lupin's first year at Hogwarts. Canon-compliant. Nominated for a 2008 QSQ for best Post-Hogwarts story.
The war is over, and all is well, they say, but the wounds remain unhealed. Bitterness divides the Houses of Hogwarts. Can the first children born since the war's end begin a new era, or will the enmities of their parents be their permanent legacy?
The Cause by Pussycat123
Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Summary: Marty Price works for The Cause, which involves several campaigns and petitions on a weekly basis. It has become common knowledge within Hogwarts that if you see her coming towards you with a clipboard, you should turn and walk the other way. Or perhaps deny all grasp of the English language. And if this isn’t eccentric enough, there’s also her obsessive written observations of four boys in her year, which will one day make a rather interesting book ...
Remus Lupin, meanwhile, has always been a little different, too. Poor, sweet Remus Lupin is, to the casual observer, the picture of a sensible, hard working student. However, he has three friends who have done more for him than anyone knows and they have done this because of his troubled past, troubled present and troubled future. Why the gloominess? Because Remus Lupin just so happens to be a werewolf.
So what could these two possibly have in common? And how can their stories possibly connect?
Runner-up for the 2008 Best Marauder Era QSQ.

Seventh Sense by roisin_dubh
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: A blind Muggle girl shows up at Hogwarts after a run-in with Death Eaters, looking for a solution to her mess and a place to recuperate.
I do not own any of Dante's work, nor do I want to. The former also holds true for Jeff Smith; sadly, the latter does not. I wish I owned his ideas. As it is, I just messed around with them. Please approach this fic with a very open mind; while nothing is particularly controversial, some of the concepts are very, very abstract and possibly arbitrary.
Becoming a Dark Lord by FinalCow
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Voldemort knows it's great being the Dark Lord; it's a position he wants to keep. But even the most malevolent maniac can't stand when the forces of fashion conspire against him! A tale of organized mayhem.
A Matter of Malevolence by trinsan
Rated: Professors •Summary: Sometimes, perspective is everything.
From day one at Hogwarts, Severus Snape had problems, half of his own making, half not; how one interprets those problems depends entirely on one's point of view.
At least with Severus, one principle is always consistent: he gives just as good as he gets.
