-1A/N: I am currently experiencing an acute case of writer's block - hence the pretty crappy chapters and lack of updates! I have started a new story charting my OC's arrival and the beginnings of the relationship with Severus, in the hope it may inspire me to complete this story. I have finished the first chapter and I'm contemplating posting it to see what people think. If no one's interested, I'll keep it to myself until I have another couple or so chappies ready. Is anybody intersted? I am in desperate need of a beta, so if anyone is willing to read my crap before its posted and tell me where the hell I'm going wrong, please let me know! Ta muchly
