Hey everyone :) Hope you are all having a lovely February! Just letting you know, I've decided to take my Lysander story down. I'll put it back up someday, after some serious revision, I wasn't happy with how it was coming out. It didn't really fit the style of my other stories and it was driving me crazy! I want to finish my other stories, then try it again maybe. Thank you all for your reviews and favourites and everything, it means so much to think you are enjoying them! I'll try to update really soon. Thanks for reading!

Hi! I'm LilyRose, (RiverUnicorn24 on Pottermore. Feel free to add!) Harry Potter Fanatic, guilty as charged. My friend and I constantly have Harry Potter trivia matches, and we once spent an entire french class sorting our year into houses. Best french class ever.

My favourite character is Lupin. I cried so much when he died! I love the next generation, but lets get a few things straight. Dammit people, Lucy Weasley is NOT a Ravenclaw! She a rebellious, red haired, fiery tempered, father disapointing, butt kicking, quidditch playing tomboy, a Gryffindor through and through. And so different from her sister (I sympathize, which is why I feel so strongly about this). On an entirely unrelated note, my cat just opened the door by herself! Isn't she clever?

Now, where was I? Oh yeah.

Lucy Weasley- Gryffindor. End of.

Another thing- Teddy will end up with Victoire, not Dominique, and definitely not Lily. Seriously, whose bright idea was that? Same for Scorpius. Not Lily, not Albus, ROSE. I mean, everyone's entitled to their own opinion but come on, if good old JK hadn't meant for it to be Rose, she wouldn't have put in Ron warning her about marrying a pureblood. Besides, Ron's reaction would be far funnier than Harry's.

Still on the subject of the Next Generation, I always thought Dominique should have red hair, and Victoire and Louis blonde. But that's just me. Also, I would put all the Weasley/Potters in Gryffindor, but maybe I'm just a stickler for tradition. Or maybe its the fact that I have a truck load of cousins myself. Who knows? But anyway, each to their own. The only one that really bothers me is Lucy in Ravenclaw. Or Hufflepuff for that matter. As previously mentioned (or ranted) I think she's a Gryffindor, but I can see her in Slytherin too.

Obviously, I think of all the cousins as being magical, but I have to say, I read story the other day, describing Molly II as Arthur's favourite because she was 'his squib' and I'll admit, it made my heart melt a little bit.

I don't see Fred and Roxanne as twins. I think Fred would be older, by maybe two years or so. I see Roxanne as being popular, and needing a scary big brother to hex the living day lights out of potential boyfriends.

Seeing as we're on the subject, I absolutely loath cousincest. I mean COME ON PEOPLE. I have a cousin the same age of the opposite sex, and no, just NO. *Shudders violently.*

Other than Harry Potter, I'll read just about anything fiction, and some factual. But fiction's better! I watch some TV, I like M.A.S.H., House, Desperate Housewives and I used to watch ER. I'm not big into movies, but obviously I've seen all the Harry Potters. My taste in music is a bit mixed; I'm half Canadian (West Centralish), half Irish, so I've heard all sorts. My favourites are probably Bon Jovi, Dixie Chicks, Sugarland, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Coldplay and the Beatles, but I like The Script, Queen, Katy Perry, Jo Dee Messina... the list goes on. I'm also hopelessly attracted to One Direction (*bangs head on desk. 'No! Fool, they're a boy band! An incredibly attractive boyband. Don't care, still a boy band. Oh, who asked you? We're the same person! ... Oh. Well, don't care, they're attractive! *sighs witheringly.) Thus, the part of me with musical taste and the part of me that's really just a teenage girl, battle for control. To be fair, they do actually have some great songs. Plus, they're really attractive...

Lets see, other stuff about me...

I come from a big family, which I love. I have a truck load of cousins, aunts and uncles. Although half of them are on the other side of the Atlantic. My closest cousin and I love exploring, and seeking out 'adventures' in our rather mudane little town. He's my best friend :) I'm slightly OCD, which my friends tease me mercilessly about. I like to be early for things (I was born three and a half weeks early) and my friends think I'm extremely organised because I always have band-aids and cold tablets and stuff with me. But if your friends are as accident prone as mine, you learn to be prepared. I hate it when my room is messy, and it's usually really neat. In other words, I'm a pathetic excuse for a teenager. At least half the things I say to my friends are met with raised eyebrows and fond declarations of 'You're a freak.' I love to read and write and I have an old fat cat.

That's bout it!

Right, well I think I done rambling. Hope you all enjoy my stories. Keep reading!

As always, Love and Sunshine,

My Bookshelf (Because let's face it. I'm a complete bookworm with a sad excuse for a social life.)

Harry Potter Series, by the Incredible, wonderful, genius J.K. Rowling. (Best series in the history of the universe)

Twilight, Stephenie Meyer. (Yes, I admit it, I have read them. Please don't judge.)

City of Bones/Ashes/Glass, Cassandra Clare. (BRILLIANT. Didn't even feel the need for my Harry Potter fill while I was reading them)

Series of Unfortunate Events, Lemony Snicket. (Good, but infuriating finish. So many questions!)

The Dragonfly Pool, Eva Ibbotson. (Sweet, nice read)

The Year I turned Sixteen, Diane Schwemm. (Soooo sad! Pages are definitely tear stained!)

The Purple Hibiscus, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. (Beautiful, moving, slightly disturbing, but in a good way)

The Poisonwood Bible, Barbra Kingsolver. (Again, great but really sad. Hard enough read)

The Midnighter Series, Scott Westerfield. (Right up there with City of Bones, etc. Last one brought tears though)

Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Scott Westerfield. (Good, a little strange, but good. Don't read if you're squimish)

Remember Me, Christopher Pike. (Good, a little scary. First one was good, couldn't really get into the second one)

The Malory Towers Series, Enid Blyton. (English school girls amuse me XD They were a fun read)

Lord of the Flies, William Golding. (WORST ENDING EVER. Good book though)

Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd. (Super sweet, super sad)

To Kill a Mocking Bird, Harper Lee. (Brilliant, I loved it)

Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, John Boyne. (Disturbing, and not really that good a read)

Ballet Shoes, Noel Streathfield. (One of the best stories of all time)

Little Plum, Rumer Godden. (Beautiful, adorable, best book ever after Harry Potter. Read it. NOW.)

Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck. (A little upsetting, but good)

Bad Girls Don't Die, Katie Alender. (Epic read. Slighty unnerving, but in a good, exciting way)

Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte. (I will marry this book.)

Girl with the Pearl Earring, Tracy Chevalier. (Nice easy read, not sure bout the butcher guy :S)

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen. (I loved it. Wanted to slap Lydia though.)

The Emerald Atlas, John Stephens. (AMAZING! Can't wait for the next one!)

The Card Turner, Louis Sachar. (Really, really good, one of those great intricate books, if you know what I mean :P)

The Book Thief, Markus Zusak. (I haven't cried so much since The Deathly Hallows!)

Room, Emma Donoghue. ( Really good read, sad in parts.)

The Secrets of the Notebook, Eve Haas. (Really interesting, and a true story!)

The Hunger Games Trilogy, Suzanne Collins. (Freakin' EPIC)

Little Women, Louisa M. Alcott. (So damn beautiful! :'))

Gregor the Overlander, Suzanne Collins. (I've only read the first one so far, and I'm probably a little bit old for them, but it was still good)
