I'm a 61 year old, soon to retire dental hygienist, wife, Mom, Mom-mom Harry Potter fan. I live in Maryland, USA.


I love reading fanfiction, although I am a bit of a spelling / grammar / punctuation / Canon nazi.  I do, however, review EVERY chapter that I read. You have been warned! HE!HE!HE!


I hope you will enjoy my little (?) stories and one shots.  I'm a stinker when it comes to cliffhangers, but that's half the fun of reading, isn't it?


My credo:


Live your life such,


that when your feet hit the floor in the morning,


Satan shudders and says:


"Aw, S#!T!  She's awake."


 


HE!HE!HE!

Stories by Holly Ilex
Summary:

 

 

The prologue and first two chapters of this story intertwine with the last two chapters and epilogue, (covering, roughly, the last two weeks of term), of my sixth year story ‘What Goes Around…Comes Around…Lost And Found…Love’.  If you haven’t read it, you’d better go through that one, or none of this story will make any sense. 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

 

 

Anna’s year at Hogwarts is ending, in a most peculiar way; Secret keepers, hiding places, changes of attitude and loyalty.  New lives, old memories, shifting priorities and deadly miscalculations are coming to light in the bright summer sunshine.

DISCLAIMER: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.

The first line ( in bold type ) is from page 745 of the American version of J. K. Rowling's 7th book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"  The last line ( in bold type ) is from page 746.

This little passage always bothered me, so I went back and put in a little scene which I think adds to the whole post- battle scenerio.

Summary: After HBP came out, I kept getting little bits and pieces of the story stuck in my brain and the only way to get them out was to get them down on paper ( on the computer ) as limericks. I can't write poetry to save my soul, but limericks just seem to fall out of my brain with frightening regularilty.  So, here's my ramblings about HBP.
