You've just come to the place where I call home. I am Azalea and I love Harry Potter. I also like carry-out (aka "carrion". Crow joke.), manga and anime, Philip Pullman, and fencing. My favorite band, hmmm, three-way tie between Nine Days, The All-American Rejects, and Lifehouse. As of right now, I have become very into Brian Froud and his artwork.
I am proudly married to Remus Lupin, Ron Weasley, and Oliver Wood, and I am a Dumbledore; according to Saphirre Isle.
I also have four older brothers, youngest to oldest, Hugh, Aeron, Gryffyn, and Gareth. Hugh is my favorite, being only a year older than me, and Aeron is the one I detest. (Think not hot Sirius Black and you've got him)
In the long run, I am a crazy teenage girl who lurves reviews and chocolate, and if you like, you can go to my LJ and read another story which probably won't be able to get into the queue in time.
Do to confusing myself, I'd like to clear this up. MY PARENTS ARE BRITISH/WELSH, I WAS BORN IN AMERICA.

Confessions Of Lumpy Poo by Soupdragon
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
Lily's thoughts are a sacred place. People think that head of hers stores valuable information for he next Potions assignment but those people are so wrong. In fact her head is filled with rather rude and amusing thoughts but she's strong as steel and keeps that in her instead of out.
But the arrival of a Veela causes her blood to boil and her thoughts to rapidly twist and churn in anger and all. Not only is ths Veela pretty, and french, she's also flirtacious. A dangerous mix. So what's this got to do with anything? Well, for one she's been messing around with a ton of boys making many girls so annoyed including our Lily here. Her thoughts start to leak which equals an hour of witty comments and laughing fits. This causes many heads to turn. Including one of those with messy hair.

KEEP UPDATING!!! I WANT MORE!!! This is honestly a good runner-up to the Lily series by Secret Lily.
Author's Response: Really? I\'m so thrilled you like the Lily series so far! (I love Secret Lily\'s series.)

The Pied Piper of the Black Forest by butter_beer_drinker

Hey, You! I Don't Like Your Girlfriend by Kerichi
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
He was Muggle-born, a Hufflepuff, and a slob. Andromeda Black could not understand why a boy with messy hair and untidy ways was so popular until she realised no one enjoyed life like Ted Tonks. It wasn't a secret that he liked her...and she didn't like his girlfriend.
Date: 04/12/07 Title: Chapter 1: Hey, you!
Hooray! I caught onto the Princess Bride note. Fezzik is my favorite character in that movie. Besides Westley and Buttercup and Inigo, and never mind.
But your story is awesome! But then again, you're just so darn famous here, unlike me....alright, now I'm just going to pout, but I loved your story!
Author's Response: I don\'t write big category couples, so only people who read \'indie cats\' know me. I may be in the top ten of prolific writers, but I\'m nowhere near famous enough to make the popular list. :D (Thanks for saying that, though, and yay for you liking Fezzik. He was such a sweetie!)
Ron's Thoughts by Hermione Lurves Ron
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: This is what I think Ron thinks. Acrostic.
Date: 04/10/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
This is very amusing, and a lot like ROn, same sort of childishness about love that I would expect out of him, but he has to think about the kiss. Is that all boys think about? Snogging? According to my friend Vince, it is....but that's him, now I'm getting off track, sorry. Anyways, I really like your poem. It rocks! Like Hermione!
Author's Response: Thanks!
The Right Man by GringottsVault711

Eyes by _Ivy_
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Eyes are the most expressive part of anyone's body. They are bottomless pits, conveying even your deepest and darkest secrets through raw emotion. Here is an exploration through the eyes.
Date: 04/17/07 Title: Chapter 1: Lily, James and Juliana
What an awesome poem! I highly suggest making another for a series, but it is AU...soo, it's your desicion.
Author's Response: Thank you! I actually am adding to the series, but they are totally unrelated poems. They just all have the same \'eye\' thing.

Killer Instincts by Ginny Weasley Potter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: London: Four murders have taken place under bizarre circumstances, for what seems to be an equally bizarre reason.
Harry, a happily wedded man with a wonderful wife and a cute daughter, is an Auror at the Ministry of Magic and is now given a new case to solve with Ron and four other Aurors. Incidentally, the four Aurors include Ginny, Harry’s ‘schoolboy crush’; and it turns out to be much more than a crush when Harry sees her again. What’s more is that Harry is working upon a case that seems to connect to him directly. And once again, it opens up old fears: fears of losing loved ones.
Ron, on the other hand, seems to be tired of Hermione. Tempers are running high and fights are breaking out more often than usual. Are they really falling apart? Or can they sort this out before it is too late?
Then there is the case itself. Who is trustworthy, and who is not? Who is deadly enough to murder four people in cold blood?
Indulge into the gut-wrenching action, combined with warm romance and tingling suspense; while I tell you a story of love, ambition and obsession… a story of what those killer instincts can do. EDIT: MAJOR revamping going on, with regard to plot, characterisation, and general style of writing. I would urge you not to read this until I've removed this notice because I wasn't very good six years ago, and this is as bad as I was. *Places traffic cones*
Date: 10/23/07 Title: Chapter 5: Rebecca Palmer
Hmmm, this story is quite interesting. Just a question though, how do you pronounce "Naina"? I pronouce it how my people (the Welsh) would, as "Nine-a" (yes, it does sound like "Nana" I know. Nain is what most Welsh people call their grannies). I'd just like to know.
Also, your English is very...formal and cold-sounding. There are such things as contractions, which would loosen your style up quite a bit and probably give it some more feeling.
Cheers,
Crows
Author's Response: Naina.. well, \'Nain\' is pronounced in a way similar to \'Dan\'. It is really difficult to get people to pronounce these correctly because of the difference in accent. The way I pronounce Dan could not be different, for one thing. My accent is too Indian because I speak a lot of Hindi sometimes.
And this may sound funny, but I don\'t know much of English slang. Again, Hindi is what I have to speak, most of the times. I\'ll try to make it sound better, though!
Thanks for your thoughtful comments! :)

Muggle Studies--The Muggle Way by I_LUV_MOONY
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The Marauders are in third year Muggle Studies, with their latest class project sneaking up on them: ballroom. "Who cares?" they think, "Hardly any Muggles even dance; they don't even like it that much. Why should we have to deal with it?" Professor Richardt has other ideas.
I recently read back through this and cringed at how poorly written it was. I'm going to finish the sequel, and then this story is getting completely revamped. Thanks to all who put up with the poor writing and complimented it!
Date: 06/17/07 Title: Chapter 5: The Preparations
Alright, I'm definitely warming up to this story more, now that I've reread it, but I'd like to see you describe things more, y'know? It's ok to go overboard on descriptions! I know, I've done it!
Hugs, Azalea
Author's Response: Second time\'s the charm! lol I\'ll work on the description in future stories, but I\'ve already finished this one. Keep an eye out for more stories! :D
Date: 06/19/07 Title: Chapter 6: Muggle Studies
Wow! This has improved a LOT! I'm so pourd....*tear tear* Anyways, good, much better. I'm very impressed with your knowledge of the ballroom (coming from the girl who can't dance).
Azalea
PS. I like the sound of Alexander :P
Author's Response: I\'ve been dancing since I was three, and I started ballroom two years ago. I didn\'t learn the tango until this year, though, so I\'m glad you thought I was knowledgeable. And I did my best to make Alexander appealing. :D
