My name is Laura and I'm eighteen years old. I love reading, writing, music, photography, knitting, and lots of other random stuff that I'm just too lazy to type here. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, His Dark Materials, and Pirates of the Caribbean are just a few of my favorite books and/or movies. Oh yeah, and anything written by Dan Brown. Such good books those are!

OK, I know there are people reading my stories (thanks to the wonderful hit counter on ff.n : ) ), so I'm going to beg for reviews. falls to knees and pleads with computer Please, please tell me what you think. If you love it, tell me; if you hate it, tell me. And PLEASE tell me what I can do to improve my stories! I really appreciate hearing from the people who take time to read my work.

UPDATES: FINALLY long-awaited chapter 17 has arrived! I do hope you like it...I must say it is a sample of my literary genius... ahem ahem Never mind. I'll hop off of my high-and-mighty stool. But I must say that things are getting better. And hopefully more will fall into place soon. Let's just say I'm excited for chapter 18!

DISCLAIMER: I am not J.K. Rowling (nor am I J.D. Salinger) and I do not own any of the characters you recognize from her (his)books. I am not making any money off of this material.

A NOTE: If you feel so inclined, I've started another Harry Potter story under my friend's pen name (queen-of-the-arts). We're going to co-write it and it's based on her original character. Please check it out.
