So, where do I even begin?
Well, I'm 16, I live in England and I'm obsessed with many different things, of which Harry Potter is probably the main one. As you may have guessed.
I was a reader and writer here for about four years and a moderator for just over two and half years. And I am ever so slightly insane.
My Stories
If you're looking for my higher quality writing, it's advisable that you stick to stories uploaded in or after 2007. There's not much I like about my earlier writing, but it's still up here because I did put quite a lot of time and effort into it. Love Conquers Everything has been discontinued.

Puzzled Silence by Caren H
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: As the kiss grew deeper she didn’t analyze what was happening to her, why she was kissing him back, and why he was kissing her. For once she didn’t think at all. And she was okay with not knowing all the answers.
This piece is a seventh year, One-shot concerning Hermione and Draco that will either puzzle you, or intrigue you. I might warn you of slight AU, it depends on your take on this piece. We already know that this couple wouldn't exist in canon anyway, so please bare with. This was my very first HG/DM pairing and I did my best to avoid any...cliche's with this complex couple. And really, let my know your opinions. Criticism, flames, well hopefully not, or kind words are deeply appreciated.
Date: 06/03/06 Title: Chapter 1: Puzzled Silence
Very exciting and descriptive! I really liked the way you built slowly up to it and depicted their features in such detail. Beautiful one-shot. Well done!
Author's Response: *blushing* Thank you for your kind words!
Everything and the Moon by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: "Perhaps there was such a thing as being too much of a gentleman." After giving Tonks an ultimatum, Remus finds faith, not drowning sorrows with Sirius, is the only thing that makes waiting bearable.
Date: 02/04/06 Title: Chapter 1: Everything and the Moon
I really enjoyed this fic - you've conveyed Lupin and Tonks' emotions very well, making it an excellent read. I found it a little hard to follow in places, but overall the flow of the story was good. Well done!
Author's Response: Hey, I'm so glad you enjoyed the fic! ^_^ If you can think of any specific places where you lost the story thread, I'd love to know. I believe in editing to make a story better! Thanks!
Make A Wish by Oomahey
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Harry, Ron and Hermione are in Godric's Hollow prior to the start of the Horcrux hunt. The wedding of Fleur and Bill is over, but the images live on. It is Ginny's birthday, and Harry is reminiscing about the one he left behind. What will he do about it, especially when he finds out that it hasn't been all that great a day for her? This fic is Harry's POV of the story, For A Wish, written by YelloWitchGrl, with a little bit of Ron's POV. Read that first, if you can. But this can be read as a stand-alone.
Date: 02/11/06 Title: Chapter 1: Make A Wish
Brilliant story! I thought it was very sweet and well thought-through. Harry's thoughts about the depth of his dilemma was very good in this story. I have to say that I often don't like fics in which Harry proposes almost right after HBP - but you made it work for me. It seemed natural and not too far-fetched. My favourite part was when he read the poem - that was adorable and made me smile. Overall, a lovely fic with just the right amount of fluff. Well done!
Author's Response: Well, as I have already said in the summary, this is not my story. the original was written by YelloWitchGrl, in Ginny's POV. I have just written Harry's POV of that story. :) So all credits go to her. Yes, the poem as well. :D Thanks for the review. :)
Oread, Walking by Seren
Rated: •
Summary: Cedric was just as odd as Hermione, because he liked to walk. Cedric/Hermione
Date: 02/09/06 Title: Chapter 1: Oread, Walking
Wow, I really liked that. It's an unusual pairing, yet you told it in a way that made it feel completely natural. I liked the different style of storytelling as well, and the sense of familiarity it had. My favourite bit was the description of the kiss - it was all so innocent and narrated beautifully. You could truly feel the level of understanding between them, which is hard to acheive in a one-shot. Congratulations on a brilliant story.
The Potters and The Blacks, a Family Torn Apart ... by Lurid
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A One-Shot written based on the events that happened that fateful Halloween night. This particular Fic was written when I was in Year 7 for an English "Harry Potter Book Review" task, and is now on the screens of your computers three years later. (Pre-OotP)
Date: 06/03/06 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot
A very good story that depicted not only the Potters' death, but also Sirius' reaction - which was great! I'm impressed that this was mostly written when you were eleven; you're obviously very talented. Well done!
Author's Response: *blushes* Oh, thank you! And thanks for playing tag ;) I\'ll be sure to stop by your suthor\'s page! ♥
Date: 05/30/06 Title: Chapter 1: Reconciliation
Even without reading the main story, this made complete sense to me. It was touching and emotional, and the twist at the end with Charlie was great. I really liked the way you dealt with each of the Weasleys in turn - each of them with their own attitude to the situation. It worked brilliantly! Well done on a very good story.
Author's Response: Thank you!
She Walks in Beauty by AshNight
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Valentines Day is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. However, ever since Cedric died and Harry rejected her, Cho has spent the fateful day alone. This year, things are going to change. Can ‘just a friend’ extend the helping hand she needs? On the other hand, will the swirl of lacy harts and pink bows accent how deep the once reining queen of Ravenclaw has sunk? Written for Valentines Challange 4, "Love Yourself..." by AshNight of Ravenclaw A big hug and thank you to Lauren, the brilliant beta.
Date: 02/22/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Date
Excelllent fic! I have to admit that Cho is one of my least favourite characters, but you made me understand her emotions so well that I felt really sorry for her. The poem worked very nicely with your story - it finished the story off perfectly. Good job!
Author's Response: Well, thank you very much! I have to confess to have been an avid Cho/Harry shipper in the begining. It made me quite sad when I had to leave my beloved ship behind...but anyway, I am glad you could identify with Cho. It was my whole purpose of this fic. I was tired of Cho-Bashers and wanted to show them how I think Cho felt. Thank you again and I hope to see you around!
Suddenly Love by callmehermione
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary:
Penname: callmehermione
House:Ravenclaw
Challenge: Three: "Judgment"
Ginny Weasley thinks she knows just how Draco needs to be. She doesn't understand that he isn't as aloof as she assumes he is. Draco teaches Ginny about himself, and Ginny learns what she herself really needs.
Date: 02/22/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Very good story, Hermione! I love the way you introduced their emotions earlier on so that it didn't seem unrealistic, yet you easily conveyed the sudden change of heart Ginny had. I don't normally go in for Draco/Ginny fics, but this one is especially well written. Brilliant!
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I was really apprehensive about the quickness of this story, and your review really put me at ease. Thanks!
Apology of a Completed Soul by callmehermione
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
Penname: callmehermione
House:Ravenclaw
Originally for a challenge...
Date: 04/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Wow, that was beautifully narrated. I think you wrote Lily in a very accurate way and gave us a good feel for her personality in the dialogue. I particularly like the way you described the kiss (I'm quite an old romantic!) and her little interjections of "I bet you can guess" etc., which made it clear she was telling a story. A lovely way to write about Lily and James falling love. Excellent!
Author's Response: I really wanted to make it so that Lily was having more of a conversation with Harry, due to the nature of her story. I\'m glad that came across! Thanks for reviewing.
Paint the Silence by electronicquillster
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Charlie returns to the Burrow and begins healing his own heart, as well as that of someone else. It's always darkest before the dawn.
Begun pre-Deathly Hallows.
Date: 07/23/06 Title: Chapter 1: Home
So, I've been intending to read this for ages, and finally I've got the time to do so. This is amazing so far. You've written this chapter with so much delicacy - the exchange was simple, making it brilliantly effective. You were sensitive to their characters and made this pairing seem completely natural. Excellent!
Date: 07/23/06 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Moments With Oliver
Very interesting follow-up. So this chapter set two years later? Something is telling me that that means it's more than a crush... A slightly different style to before, but appropriate to the mood of the chapter. I liked the way you portrayed Oliver and Charlie's relationship, particularly contrasting it with Percy and Chralie's. I had a good chuckle at the comment about removing Percy's stomach. Next chapter looks exciting!
Date: 07/23/06 Title: Chapter 3: Happy Birthday, Hermione
Ooh, Molly noticed! I enjoyed the tension between them very much, and the way Charlie asked Hermione if he could kiss her was really sweet and certainly unexpected. This chapter was different again in style - it was like a mix of Chapter 1 and 2 - upbeat, yet with serious splashes in there. I like your characterisation of Fleur a lot; it's spot on! Brilliant chapter. I look forward to reading more!
Date: 08/17/06 Title: Chapter 4: Introducing Imogen
I really like Imogen! She's an excellent OC - and what an interesting relationship with Luna. I shall certainly be intrigued to follow her, her family and Andrew later on. Well-written as always, and described very nicely. Excellent!
Late Love by joanna
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Amelia Bones's death left one man in deep sorrow.
Date: 03/22/06 Title: Chapter 1: Late Love
A very interesting story! Definitely a different sort of pairing - I haven't seen this one before. The letter format worked well, and it was written in a way that seemed realstic for two brothers. The storyline was refreshing and unique - all in all, a great pleasure to read.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, especially for being the first reviewer! I really liked to write it and I think Aberforth has more depth than assumed. He is just not the wizard with the goats. ;-) Thanks again!
Meant to be Alone by FanficWriterNikki
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: She loves him. Is that good enough or is she really meant to be alone?
Date: 06/03/06 Title: Chapter 1: Meant to be Alone
What an excellent story! I really enjoyed the way you described her feelings of anguish through her talk with her friend, and his confusion through his conversation with the bartender. You really made me feel for her right at the end - it was heart-wrenching. Well done!
Author's Response: Thank you! I felt bad for her while writing this. It\'s odd feeling bad for Voldemort\'s mom, isn\'t it? It was hard finding someone for Tom to confide in because I don\'t think he would have made very many friends while under the influence of a love potion. I\'m really glad you liked it!
Regrets by woomama
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Taking place after HBP. Professor Snape has been found to be a spy and He-who-must-not-be-named has imprisoned him in an enchanted cottage, until he can find a use for the Potions Master.
Date: 04/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: Redemption
Very exciting first chapter! I think you write Snape's character very well, with things like “I will die my own man, not the puppet of another.” - very Snapish! (If that's a word!) I enjoyed your exploration into his emotions very much and will endeavour to read the next chapters soon!
Author's Response: Well Rita, I think that \"Snapish\" is a word within the confines of the Ravenclaw Snape Stalkers. I think that Snape\'s emotions almost completely define him. He is not so much without, as he is compelled to safely hide.
Date: 07/20/06 Title: Chapter 2: Surprise
Ooh! Wow! A very intriguing, albeit short, chapter. You managed to pack a lot of interesting description in there and built the chapter up well for the cliffhanger ending! I really thought you were going to make him discover Hermione while he was naked, but it seems not, hehe. Very well done!
Author's Response: While lemons are a constant nuisance of my higher brain function, I wasn’t quite ready for them in this chapter. No, I wanted to show his utter complacency with his life in the cottage, nothing ever changes. Until, Hermione shows up. I am glad you are enjoying the story; it really does get better the longer you go on. I find looking back on the first few chapters really lets me know I am learning something and getting better. Keep reading. Oh and thanks for the review. ~woomama
The Story of Jenny Stewart by Sneaky_Rhae
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Who is the Grey Lady of Ravenclaw house? What caused her to remain among the living after her death?
Date: 04/06/06 Title: Chapter 1: one-shot
What an interesting take on the matter! Very detailed and well-written - oh, I do feel so sorry for poor Jenny. Then again, I do feel for John too. You conveyed it in such a way that the reader can sympathise with both parties, which is excellent. My favourite part was the end line, because it was full of impact and meaning. Brilliant! 10/10.
Author's Response: I\'m glad that you felt for both sides, and what nice words! Thanks so much!
A Glint of Gold by hpmaniac666
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Harry's always been good at catching the Golden Snitch. But something equally valuable seems to be sliping through his fingers... Takes up straight after HBP, One-shot.
Date: 03/29/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Glint of Gold
An excellent fic! I haven't seen many that follow this sort of route with the storyline- it was ver refreshing and original. I liked the way you threaded the theme of gold all the way through it; it worked very well. I didn't feel too bogged down at all by the narrative - I found your writing style very pleasing. The descriptions were excellent. Well done on a very good story! 10/10.
Author's Response: OK thank you so much! That's why they call it original writing, right? Thanks for commenting on my narrative I appreciate that you took the time to think about that since like I mentioned it was my concern. Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! Please check out my other fics! XXXX
Truths Unwritten by Astrid Skywalker
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: From the writer of Clair De Lune... Follow James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, and Peter through their seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Sinister schemes and crazed fiascoes ensue, and of course, who can resist a little romance? Rated 3rd-5th years for language.
Date: 04/06/06 Title: Chapter 2: To Be, Or Not To Be . . . A Hypocrite?
Brilliant! This scene really showed us your characterisation of everyone - I liked the way you wrote it so that Remus didn't look on disapprovingly (as he does in most fics). Authors often forget that he was a Marauder too, and therefore must have participated in rule-breaking too. I also appreciated the way you made Lily stand up for James, yet she still remained slightly wary of his motives: “Which I hope he didn’t . . .” She turned to narrow her eyes at James. “. . . because then I have to apologize and let him step down.” Very well written - I feel completely at ease with your style.
