Author has written 3 stories for Harry Potter.

Hello!

I guess I'll use this section to talk about the kind of stories I like to write, and a bit about the stories I've written. I think it's wonderful that so many people write about the main characters in Harry Potter, but I personally feel that minor characters need some love too! I've thoroughly enjoyed many stories about characters who are only mentioned a handful of times in the books, and feel like this type of writing allows us to flex our creative muscles a bit more. The stories I plan on writing will all feature either original characters, or minor characters, and I will try to cover a lot of the Wizarding World.

My Name is Oliver Wood: I started this story back in 2015, and got about two chapters in before I had to set it down. Now a year later, I'm dedicated to updating it every Tuesday until its completion. I plan on this story only taking place before the books, but I'd be open to writing about Oliver Wood's experiences in Professional Quidditch in the future. I'm a huge soccer fan, and played Goalkeeper in High School. I thought it would be fun to mix some of my experiences with the soccer position with the Quidditch equivalent. I also played Muggle Quidditch for a bit in college, so you could say that I share Oliver's passion for the sport! I will admit the 150 point Snitch is bullshit though, but it does make writing an exciting game interesting.

The Witch of Eye: The idea for this story came after a particularly disturbing nightmare. I like how it stands as a one shot, but I do have an idea for turning it into a larger plot if I have the time.

My Name is Oliver Wood reviews
It's not easy being a Keeper. You've got to be physically and mentally tough. Charlie used to say you had to have a short memory, and over the years I'd have to say I agree with him. People tell me that I act like Quidditch is a matter of life and death, and honestly that kinda offends me. Personally I believe it's much more important than that.

The Clouds Over Diagon Alley reviews
"The Ministry has the situation well in hand." Says your brother, "Minister Scrimgeour has been fighting dark wizards his whole career, and has been taking important steps to combat this threat. We are quite safe." You wish he had been right. You wish the attack, and the days that followed it, never happened. You never thought the war would reach you and your family.

The Witch of Eye
"There was a Beldame called the Witch of Eye, Old Mother Madge her neighbors did her name who wrought wonders in countries by heresy. Both fiends and fairies her charming would obey, and dead corpses from grave she could uprear. Such an enchantress, as that time had no power."-Offical Historical Account, 1441.
