My blurb: So far I've only written one fan fiction, The Dream of One Night, and it took me about four years of on-and-off writing to complete. It really is my literary baby, and I spent who knows how long making it as (pre-Half Blood Prince) canon as I possibly could. It's set in The Chamber of Secrets year, and is written for fans like myself who maybe got into Harry Potter as an adult and have more of an interest in the lives of the adults in the series, especially the professors of Hogwarts. I really hope you read it and give it a chance (I admit it might take some people a little while to get into. That's what happens when a story is 320+ pages :D) If you enjoy what you read, please leave me a quick review to let me know. Since I can never make money off of this story, a simply word of thanks means so incredibly much to me.

Though I swore I wouldn't do this, I've begun work on a sequel to The Dream of One Night, though who knows when it will ever be up for reading. I currently have an under-one year old, so I barely have time to eat, let alone write! But I've had lots of people request a sequel, and I've been toying with scenes in my mind for years now, so I can't resist! It's tentatively titled, Nothing Else Matters and will be set primarily in the Order of the Phoenix year (Avrille vs. Umbridge is too epic to not write about.) Thank you so much for checking out my profile. I hope you enjoy my writing!

P.S. For those interested, The Dream of One Night can also be read on harrypotterfanfiction.com. This edition of the story, however, is not up-to-date since I have to wait in a queue to get each chapter validated. But for those interested to see what Avrille and my version of Severus (sorry Alan Rickman, I LOVE YOU, but you're NOT 35!) look like, there are several chapter images to give you a peek.
