Right, well then, I'm 19. I love reading and writing but my skills are really poor. But I am working on it. I know I've not updated in a while but I'd rather concentrate on exams at the moment. But I will be revising the whole story and any suggestions will be more than welcome. I've decided to start it all from scratch, and I hope you lot will like it because I'm doing this all for you. I'm currently snowed under with exams... yes I know I haven't updated since ages... but I will write more during the summer, or afetr the exams... whichever comes first... I'm also working on a seperate HP fic which I hope you'll like, but it might have to be scrapped since HP and the HBP is coming out in July... can't wait.

I love reading.
Fav books/authors include:
JK Rowling- Harry Potter (of course)
Philip Pullman- His Dark Materials
LJ Smith- The Night World Series (Plus anything else she's written)
Dan Brown - Robert Langdon series ( Angels & Demons + The Da Vinci Code)
Eoin Colfer- Artemis Fowl
Anthony Horrowitz- Alex Rider Series
DJ Machale- Pendragon Series
Cate Tiernan- Wicca
Dave Pelzer- A Child Called 'IT'
Darren Shan Saga
I've also currently been addicted to Mills&Boon romance books - sad I know, but it can't be helped
Plus others that I can't remember right now

I'll only be writing and reading Harry Potter fan fiction, and if asked I could recommend some great fanfics by other authors and I'd appreciate it if someone would recommend some other fics for me.

Pairings I Like:

Harry/original character (As long as said original character is done very good)
Ron/Hermione
Harry/Ginny (As long as Ginny isn't too shy or really bossy)
Harry Hermione (As long as she isn't very bossy)

Pairings I Dislike:

Harry/ any male (I don't mind slash with Harry but I don't think Harry is the gay type)
I don't slash at all much really but I read them anyway because some of them are brilliantly written (I'll just have to ignore the slash)
Harry/Cho (She's had her chance, people!)

Characters I Don't Like in Fanfcis:

Voldemort (DUH!)
Sometimes Ginny
Sometimes Hermione
Sometimes Dumbledore (You know the ones where he's a manipulative old fool- manipulative is one thing but when's dark like in Allusions of Power by ReflectionsOfReality (Even though that is a really good Fic)

I don't think Snape can be really cruel like he is in some Fics that I've read but I like FanFics where he's warming up to Harry.
The same with Draco- I don't think Draco will ever be completely good, but neutral Draco is good aswell... as long as he gets along with Harry and not the rest of the Weasleys like in Flawed Perfection by Celebony.

Fav characters:

Harry (OF COURSE - "I wish he were mine, he's really divine, The hero who conquered the Dark Lord" sigh)
Sirius (I can't believe he's dead sob)
Remus (Poor Moony)
Albus Dumbledore
Fred & George Weasley (They're so funny)

I was bored, so I decided add some quotes (actually, chunks is probably more appropriate) from some of my fav fics-

"Of course. But, first, Mr. Fudge wants to speak with you. We should leave for the ministry as soon as you get changed."
Harry sighed. "Can't we just tell him I'm still unconscious? Or have gone mute?"
Dumbledore chuckled. "This is important Harry. He just wants to make sure you're alright."
"Really?" Harry raised a disbelieving eyebrow. "Since when did he care." ...

"George?" whispered Ron, deathly quiet.
Now George got in on the act as well. "Yes, Ron?" he answered solemnly.
"Will you tell Mom to disregard the questionable magazines under my bed as she goes through my things?"
"Of course, my dear brother." Further down the table Ginny could barely stay sitting from the laughter.
Fred took over for his twin. "Harry, is there anything you want me to tell the Dursley's for you?"
"Ye...," Harry began, but changed his mind. "Actually, no. If Snape doesn't make me insane, the Dursley's will. But if they cart me off to a padded room in St. Mungo's would you please have everyone do the chicken dance before entering the common room. And change the password to 'DinkyDuddydums' after my favorite cousin, who from here on out, I give you full license to test your pranks on."
Fred and George looked at each other and gasped. "This means so much to us Harry, you have no idea," began Fred.
"You were always like another little brother for us to torment," continued George.
"And Ron, darling Ron...,"Fred trailed off, eyes watering. "Excuse us." Fred and George started sobbing on each other shoulders, sending Harry and Ron into fits of uncontrollable laughter, along with the rest of the room...

Good to see you, Harry," he said stiffly. But then he leaned in closer to Harry. "Are you sure you should be here with the 'Dark Lord' running around?" Harry's blood began to boil at the sarcasm, but he remembered what Hermione said. 'Don't let them get to you.'
"I'm sure that rash'll clear up soon, Fudge," he said loudly. "Just keep taking you're potion." There were snickers from the patrons...

"Oh, give it up. You Know Who is not - " He was cut of when the doors to the Three Broomsticks flung open. The restaurant was filled with screams as they recognized who had come in - Lord Voldemort was walking up to the bar. "-back?"
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked coldly. Minister Fudge just stood there stunned, doing a remarkably lifelike impression of a goldfish.
"Now, is that anyway to greet an old friend?" said Voldemort.
Harry smiled sweetly. "What the hell are you doing here?"
Harry Potter and a New 'Order' of Things by Devonny rose

"Anger is the egg of fear."
Harry Potter and the Runespoor Shield by Ms Spider

"All of this just didn’t happen, it was a process that I had to go through. And now that I was sane, I spent quite a bit of time visiting Voldemort in visions. Not that he knew about it or anything. It all worked out quite well. I was getting close to the point where I was just going to break out and rain a little holy hell down on Voldemort. I had planned on working my way through his ranks, and doing it that way, but your little ‘oh yeah, we’re idiots’ realization changed that." Harry’s hand reached out and caught Sirius’ head before he could slam it into the table. Snape smirked.

"Congratulations, you won!" Harry shouted causing Hermione to start jumping up and down, "Tune in next time to 'What's That Potion!'"
"That's a wrap!" Ron shouted.
Harry and the still bouncing Hermione sat down next to Ron.
"You three, what was that?" Snape snarled.
"That was very entertaining, Severus, you should do that more often," Lockhart said.
"You, shut up, and you three, tell me what that was," Snape demanded.
"A giant sock?" Harry suggested.
"A giant sandwich?" Ron suggested.
"Nail polish, it's scented," Hermione said...

"You stole my cool socks!" Harry boomed, pointing his finger at Snape.
"Excuse me?" Snape asked.
"You stole my cool socks!" Harry repeated his accusation.
"What are you up to now, Potter?" Snape asked grumpily.
"Up is the opposite of down, and I'm accusing you of stealing my cool socks," Harry replied cheerily.
"What is this about socks?" McGonagall asked.
"He stole mine, he heard about them in potions class and wanted so cool of socks, so he stole them!" Harry said.
"I didn't steal any socks," Snape said.
"Yes you did, my cool socks are missing and you were interested in them," Harry replied.
"I was interested in continuing my lesson!" Snape said.
"About socks!" Harry exclaimed.
"I was lecturing about Polyjuice potion!" Snape replied.
"What ever, I'll see you in court," Harry said, before walking back to Gryffindor table.
"I didn't steal his socks," Snape said to McGonagall.
McGonagall just stared at him before moving to sit down.
"What use would I have for Potter's socks?" Snape asked as he followed her.
"He said they were 'cool'," McGonagall said with a twinkle in her eye.
Rebellion by TatraMegami

Everyone watched as he made his way over to the Gryffindor table, breath held in fascination when they noticed he was walking toward The-Boy-Who-Lived. They watched the scene like it was a car wreck, enthralled with the blood that was undoubtedly about to be spilled.
“Potter,” his voice low and rumbly like an earth shift.
Harry looked up, mildly startled, “Sir?”
Snape abruptly shoved his hand into his robe pocket and there was a collective gasp. Was the potions professor finally going to hex Harry Potter?
When Severus brought out his hand, a dark leather pouch was clutched in his fingers and the hall sighed in relief or perhaps disappointment with the lack of violence.
Harry stood up grinning and stuck out his hand. The hall was so quiet Harry could hear Malfoy weezing with barely supressed laughter in the distance.
“Pay up Professor.”...

Severus was practically beaming with pride. Harry might have been hopeless at potions but he was a worthy student in the ‘verbal scalping’ department. Severus pleasure was only heightened when the Weasley boy winced at the razor sharp barbs thrown his way.
“It is moments like this that a teacher feels truly fulfilled,” Severus said as he stepped over the threshold and expertly avoided a nasty pile of owl leftovers, hand over his heart in mock sincerity.
Something Of His Own by Moxy

“Mr. Longbottom, what are the two main ingredients in Blood Clotting Paste?”...
Ground cobwebs and powdered mouse meat.” Neville answered meekly but answered nevertheless.
A wide grin split Harry’s face as he celebrated in his head.
Snape’s eyes flashed in a mixture of astonishment and irritation. For some reason, his attention shifted to Harry, shooting a glare in his direction that seemed to indicate he knew Harry was responsible for breaking his favorite toy...
“All right, Harry, very funny. Now, if you don’t mind, could you please return my beard to normal?”
Harry gave Dumbledore a look of false innocence, silently thrilled that he had managed to return the twinkle to his headmaster’s eyes.
“Are you sure, sir? I think that I like it better this way. It’s more festive, don’t you think?”
Dumbledore stared at him over his half moon spectacles and then looked pointedly at the red and gold stripes that now decorated his beard.
“As headmaster, I cannot be partial to one particular house.”
Harry faked a sigh.
“I suppose that you’re right.”
Dumbledore looked pleased as Harry once again focused on his beard but could only stare in surprise when the red and gold stripes were replaced by red, green, yellow, and blue stripes.
“Problem solved.” Harry replied impudently, quite certain that Dumbledore would never again suggest for him to use his wandless abilities creatively during one of their sessions...
“That wasn’t quite what I had in mind, Harry.” Dumbledore tried but failed to state sternly once he had gotten a hold of himself.
“I’m sorry, sir. Would you prefer polka dots?”
“No!” Dumbledore responded quickly before Harry could put that plan into action.
Harry Potter and the Prophecy of the Phoenix by Storyspindler

Tonks straightened up and said, “I think I’ll just head on home.”
“We’re all going up!” Moody snapped. “Present a united front.” He reached inside his cloak, seeming to fumble around a bit and then handed Harry a vial. “Drink this before you go to bed. It’ll help.”
“That’s cheating!” Tonks said.
“C’mon, time to face the music,” Remus said leading the group on up the lane.
Just before they got to the door it flew open and they heard, “Where HAVE you been?” Molly Weasley was standing there in full ‘angry mother’ mode. “You were gone ALL DAY! We were worried.” Harry could see Ron and the twin’s faces peering through the window watching with huge eyes.
Remus pushed Harry in front and said, “Love to stay Molly but we need to….”
”Report in,” Moody added.
“Bye Harry,” Tonks said before the three vanished with pops.
“YOU’VE BEEN DRINKING!” Mrs. Weasley bellowed just as the adults were vanishing. Harry was now thoroughly scared at being left alone with the angry lady. He had seen her go off on the other Weasley boys and that was scary enough.
