Hey all fellow authors, readers, Harry Potter fanatics :P,
My name is Rachel and I'm sixteen in May. I'm quiet, kind of shy, a daydreamer and artsy/creative I guess. I like Art - drawing and painting. Most of my stuff is just doodles and sketches which I just sort of keep in a drawer, but I have sketchbooks too. I like writing, i like reading. I like exploring, I like walking in the countryside and feeding the ducks. If I could go back in time, I'd meet Beatrix Potter for a day and we'd go up a hill and paint and write stories about the animals there; I'd meet Shirley Hughes and ask her to teach me how she draws and writes, and I'd go back to Jane Austen's life and find out who Elizabeth Bennet was and whether Mr Darcy exists for every eligible bachelorette!
I like singing, dancing and acting too, but usually only in my room since my dancing is umm...interesting! I hate Maths and science. I wanna kill algebra one day. I love kids and their imaginations. I love looking after them and I like inventing stories and games for them.
I'm doing English language and literature for the the next year (and hopefully after). Writing is a skill that has to be practised to become anything, so I figured, writing stories is pretty much a way to keep me motivated!. I love harry potter and JK Rowling is pure genius. She's my favourite author, hands down. I don't care about all those people who make digs at her by saying she only writes basic literature for kids...so? Just look at this site, dedicated to her :)
Since I was little I've always wanted to write professionally. Nowadays I'd still love to write a book, but realistically that's quite a big dream! Whether or not I publish a book, creative writing is a really useful skill to develop. So writing fanfiction is the way forward! It's far more fun and way less stressful than school will ever be - and no one judges you!
I like general fanfiction, but Harry Potter's all I've ever written. I almost started a Lost fanfic once since I'm really into that show and believe that Kate and Jack are made for one another! Lol. Anyway. At some point, I'll get my next fanfic up. I swear, exams and school are almost NOT worth the effort...but once they're over I am going to SIT DOWN with a HUGE cup of tea and write a fanfic :)
PS: Check out my awesome, wicked banner for "The New Surprise". All the credit goes to sayiansirius, who made it for me. Oh and HPobsession helped ;). Thanks guys!!
Here is the bit for all you lot reading "The New Surprise". Chapter 15 got deleted first time round, so that's why there was a wait. I had to completely re-write it, but I think the 2nd draft has improved a lot, so I'm glad really! Again, my apologies for making you wait!!

AHHHH!!!!! This story is SOOO addictive, i'm literally hanging off the egde of my seat!!!!!!! Hurry up draco! He'd better get to hermione in time!! yah, i agree death eaters are little son-of-girl dogs!!! Update soon!
hey i have a question - i probably should have asked earlier, but i forgot - have draco and hermione slept together yet? There's nothing there that says they have, but lucius said "screwing you wasn't in the job description" to hermione when they caught her and draco kissing. I thought they only went as far as kissing or was lucius just assuming things? (still great job, keep it up!)

Author's Response: No they have not slept with each other. You're right, Lucius only assumed it when he caught them kissing. Also, Pansy led Lucius to believe that they've slept together by saying in her letter that "His (Draco's) unfortunate promiscuity is disturbing me (Pansy) as well." Hope this cleared things up! Thanks for the reviews!
I think i would have gone crazy without that Author's Note at the end, confirming the sequel!! This is bloody brilliant. Sorry to have to swear in a ron weasleyish attitude, but --well you get my point! I really liked the idea of a Agapanthus or whatever the flower was called (sorry i'm dreadful at remembering things like that!!). Well anyway, I'm glad you're doing a sequel! Olny one more thing - will this Miss Sinclair person have a more important role later, or was she just a random bitchy muggle? Okay if you can't answer that, i understand! GREAT, TRULY GREAT chappie!!
Author's Response: Very good...I was wandering when someone would ask if the bitchy muggle was random or not...yes, we will definitely be hearing from the Sinclair family in the sequel. That's all I can say;) Thanks so much for reviewing! Hope to hear from you in the future! (That goes for the rest of yall too!)
oh and i forgot to add something else. I'm sorry I keep reviewing! you know in chapter 1 when hermione says she got the tree house when she was five? And then it says she chose an odd colour to paint it 10 years ago, wouldn't that make her fifteen or did she choose the colour after she got it? Sorry if i'm being over-critical, i just got a little confused thats all. Lol its probably just me being strange and all ^^...Cant wait for chapter 20, its in queue!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Haha, no problem! I didn't really catch that, I just said ten years as an approximation because it was about ten years before. I guess you're right, that would only make her fifteen! Well...lets just say she painted it a few years after it was bulit, okee dokee? Thanks, nothing at all wrong with being over-critical!
ah no, i didn't get the quote. But oh well, great chapter!
OoHH!!! How WONDERFUL!!!! hermione loves him, she loves him, he loves her..ooh ooh ooh!! okay sorry, i'm a little giddy even though it is like 10:23 at night. half-term break! Yay! I really liked how you updated so quick! it was like a pleasent surprise, i was like hmm i'll go look at the hermione/draco section for a bit....and i saw you'd updated! yay! I'm so happy that b**** pansy is going to be expelled. Eat that, you cowardly, death-eating, flirty, slutty bitch (in other words Pansy Parkinson) :P scuse my atrocious french i just HATE pansy now. lol keeep up the good work!!!
And chapter 23 is out!! Wow, how did i not notice that?? Kewl, must dash i have to read on!!
Hello again! Aw, i don't want this to end so soon! Lol, i guess it has been going on for about a year tho! Wow. Anywayses, i noticed sumting tht wasn't really important but was a littl confused abot all da same...when hermione thought "no sixteen year old can handle sex" i agree wit u but wasn't hermione seventeen? i thought it was the seventh year and JK rowling says that her bday is like sept. 15th, i think...ah well, who really cares, its such a good story it doesn't really matter at all! keep it up!
Author's Response: I see why you were confused...if you go back and re-read the passage Hermione was referring to "those girls who lost their virginity in their early years" as the sixteen-year olds that can't hanle sex. Not herself, tho she is young still. Sorry if that confused you!! Thanks for R&R!
Oooh this is such a great story, its possibly my favorite on MNFF!!! I can't wait for an update. Pretty please to the mods!! I love the hermione/draco ship, they are soo good for each other! Great chapter by the way, pansy is a scheming little cow!!
lol thanks. Soryy i triple posted, my computer was being slow and I clicked on submit three times. oops ^_^
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITs here!!!! And chapter 21 is as well??? Wow!! I must read it!!!!!!!! EXcellent work!!!
Yay!!!! I loved the ending, how harry & draco kind of are friends in a way. Great chapter I was so surprised (and pleased!) when I discovered you'd updated so quickly!!! Great work!!
Oh and I forgot to mention last chapter that I also get 500 points! Servo am - I've forgotten what it actually is, lol, but it was in chapter 4, journey to the west wing!! Lol that was an awesome chapter...ahh the good old days of chapter 4!!
Author's Response: Hooray, 400 points to you haha! I know tell me about it "the good old days!" That was over a year ago....wow! Thanks for the review!
Aww - totally hilarious and cute!! Crookshanks reminded me of Garfield in this, with all the "supreme ruler" stuff. I loved it when Crookshanks thought "what a HORRENDOUS UNDIGNIFIED way to treat the supreme ruler of the universe!" lol haha
“Those gorgeous brown doe-eyes…”
“Pink pout-y lips…”
“That body--” Fred’s eyes traveled…south.
"Fred!” George cried out in mock outrage.
OMG I laughed SO hard at that! I was afraid my little bro would wake up. Hmm...perhaps this fred/hermione ship would work out okay...lol...mind you she shouldn't forget ron. Simply "spiffing" if you ask me...:D
Hehe L.O.L that was funny!! i especially liked the misjudgment of "in out and we were done!" lol again! this should be a 10/10!
Ive just read chapter 15! phew, im gettin there!! I think this is a great fic, its developing really well, so keep it up! glad i stumbled across it, im adding it 2 favorites.....
Author's Response: Hey, sorry it's taken so long to respond. I just got my beloved computer back. I'm glad that you're enjoying this!
YAAAAAY!!! HARRY AND GINNY ARE BACK TOGETHER...OFFICIALLY!! .....right? but i was kinda disappointed that ginnys not ready for love. But i guess love is a big step. Well for now i'm just happy they're together. keep it up!!
Author's Response: It's almost bittersweet for Harry. He realizes that he's ready for it, but Ginny won't admit, yet he knows that she feels something. One of my frustrations in fanfiction is relationships moving too fast so I pushed it in the beginning but had them realize that it needed time.
