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.

Too Sweet to Remember by Canadian Confessional

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Meet James Potter, a clever, somewhat mischievous, popular student at Hogwarts. He takes every situation in stride and has everything under control, except one: Lily Evans, an amazingly beautiful and intelligent individual. He loves her more than anything, but she despises him more than anything, and a not-so-impressive run-in late at night with her leaves James thinking that chasing after Lily might be hopeless. Then, a series of events happen in James' life, which is topped off by an unexpected visitor that makes his sixth year too sweet to remember.

Forever Yours by harry_potter_star

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary:
sigh.
Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay


For all of you who wanted an update, I have a proposition. You may or may not like it, but it's all I can offer.
Check review challenge for the last chapter. details there!


James and Lily Potter were possibly the most famous parents in wizarding history. We know alot about their adult life, but what do we really know about their childhood? Even Harry never knew about the Drama, jealousy, danger, friendships, happiness, sadness, resentment,confusion and love that his parents went through as children. Here, their lives, from when the two of them were eleven to when they were brutally murdered at only 21, is recorded. Lily and James Potter were unsung heros. This is their story.

Great story, a really interesting way of portraying Lily's thought process, I'm left wondering how she's going to end up hating James...I'll just have to keep reading! Good character development and not too slow-moving - excellent!

Author's Response: Thanks for all of the compliments, and yes, if you keep reading, you will find out how she begins to hate him...I'm trying to make it happen as naturally as possible, you know, like, he doesn't just call her a name and she never likes him again!! thanks again!!

Great new update, I really liked the snow scene! Poor, you not having snow in Australia. (I live in England, and it sometimes snows, but mostly just rains, lol!) 10/10, keep going!

Author's Response: Great, thanks!! As I've said, I was most nervous about that part, as I've got really no idea what I am writing about in that chapter!! I'm really glad you liked it!! Keep reading, and thanks again!!

The Importance of Remaining Steadfast When the World is Falling Down by Seren

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: As she watches the pale morning sky- still more black-eyed blue than gold- filter through Tom Riddle's corpse, Hermione realises that she no purpose in life anymore.
Reviewer: rita_skeeter Signed

That was brilliant. You really captured Hermione's emotions in this story. The beginning was very haunting, when Hermione forgets her meaning in life, and you wrote it with such delicate accuracy that the reader could completely undestand her. I liked the way you made her realise her importance by having her save a little boy - nothing can be more rewarding than knowing you've saved someone's life. It wasn't just Hermione saving him, it was him saving Hermione too. The writing style was fantastic. Truely wonderful.

Wow! That was fantastic! I really liked the fact that you chose an unusual topic and managed write it so beautifully. The imagery was wonderful, and you conveyed Narcissa's raw feelings so well. The change of emotions from when she was walking towards the platform to when she was being "auctioned off" flowed excellently - the transition felt natural.

I think you captured the cruelty of the situation perfectly in the descripitions - your use of words is brilliant. My favourite part was probably the reference to her mother: Mother and daughter were locked in eternity. She wondered if she should have told her. Perhaps there was a magical method of concealment, of . . . enclosure. Mentally, she reached out to the older woman, and found their hands interlocked. They were warm, and she knew her mother loved her still; it was enough to take her through what would come of this.

I enjoyed this fic immensely. Congratulations for writing such a fabulous, imaginative story.

Brilliant story! I loved the Kingsley/OC storyline - it worked very well for me. I was suitably surprised when I found out that Maureen knew about the magical world; you managed that part in an excellent manner. The ending was simpky perfect. Overall, a winner for me! 10/10.

Author's Response: Thank you very much Rita! This story will always have a special place in my heart and I'm always glad when someone likes it. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Rated:

Great story! I have to say, I'm not a big fan of Harry/Luna stories, but I'd heard such good things about this one that I thought I'd take a look. And what a look it turned out to be! Delicately written with style and elegance, your story truly narrates their love very well. You've got an excellent concept of Luna's character and an interesting little tale here. Oh, and that last line was fabulous - I loved it. 10/10

Blue Eyes Reflecting by Vindictus Viridian

Rated: Professors •
Summary: Originally for October Challenge 6: Romance: write a 'ship you don't necessarily support. In his fourth year, Draco discovers that the Malfoy prejudice against Weasleys may have a flaw. Alternate warning: outright lewd.
Draco smiled, the smile that charmed people into doing what he wanted, and opened the door of an unused classroom. Ron showed no signs whatever of cooperation. Draco upgraded the smile to ‘challenging’ and walked in himself, then waited, leaning casually against a desk. It might not work this time, but eventually…

Definitely an interesting take on things - I enjoyed it. This stryline could have been clumsily done, but you managed it very well - well done!

Reviewer: rita_skeeter Signed
Date: 11/24/05 Title: Chapter 1: Lacy Lips

This was really good, nice and fluffy, but not to the point of suffocation. I'm impressed that you can write both deep, meaningful bittersweet epics and also uplifting one-shots. Well done! A fun and satisifying story - I enjoyed it very much. And don't worry, be happy! 10/10.

Author's Response: It's my first time writing something pleasant for the perfect couple. Thanks for reading and reviewing.



Secret Sorrow by LydiaNightingale

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Written in response to Challenge One


"People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone."- Audrey Hepburn



It's New Year's Eve, late at night, and most of the world is out and about, except for two people. One person is lost emotionally, perhaps beyond all mortal repair, and another one is up, unable to sleep, just sitting. What happens when the two meet?



Reviewer: rita_skeeter Signed
Date: 11/26/05 Title: Chapter 1: One-Shot

This was an excellent story, I really enjoyed it. I liked the storyline, and I think Remus was a perfect candidate for redeeming Harry. Well done!

I loved the comparisons that you used, and I really liked the general plotline of this story. Wow, brilliant! 10/10



Resolution by Vindictus Viridian

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: "You did not come here to play chess."
On New Year's Eve, Minerva McGonagall finds herself without the usual distractions of students and staff. She decides there is only one way to solve the puzzle before her, and that she will have to take a rather large chance.
This was a submission for the Redemption Challenge and contains huge howling unavoidable HBP spoilers.
Reviewer: rita_skeeter Signed
Date: 12/03/05 Title: Chapter 1: Resolution

This is a very powerful story. I particularly liked the unusual pairing, and the comparison of the chess game and real life was excellent. Well done!

Author's Response: I noticed once upon a time that McGonagall is the only person we've ever seen Snape appear genuinely glad to see, with no apparent ulterior motive (at the end of OotP.) They also sit together at a Christmas dinner and gang up on Lockhart. I doubt we'd ever catch them in the famed broom closet together (sorry, Rita, nothing for the quill here...) but suspect they get along reasonably well when their students aren't looking. Thank you!

Clair De Lune by Astrid Skywalker

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:

It was full moon when the Dark Lord sealed a part of his soul within a magical amulet, and then broke it in half. One half was left to the faithful werewolves to guard. The other half was tossed into the impenetrable depths of time where no one but him could get it. When the first half has been found, the Order of the Phoenix selects Hermione Granger to go back into the past to search for the missing piece. What is waiting for her is a brutal task that will test her beyond her limits, and an undying love that extends beyond the boundaries of time.


RL/HG, Post-HBP


No werewolves were harmed in the making of this story.

See, I'd heard about this story a long time ago, but never got round to reading it. When I saw it in the Most Recent section I thought I'd take a little peep to see what it's like.

Well, you're amazing, Lei! I loved this chapter so much that I'm going to go back and read every other one. Your characterisation is brilliant and the descriptions are simply beautiful. Well done!
