Hi, I am a software engineer by profession, although many of my coworkers will testify to the contrary.

I was hooked into fanfics since about the time I read Melindaleo's Deathly Hallows version, a few months before another version of Deathly Hallows came out - this one written by one J.K.Rowling. From that point of time, I have been on a quest, a quest, as Mr. Lovegood would say, for the search of the true Deathly Hallows. Even though this quest seems endless, yet the journey has been transformative and enlightening. After all, it is the journey, not the destination, that matters.

There have been many stories published here that I have enjoyed, and many more that I have despised for various reasons. Inevitably after reading them, I would start imagining ways in which I could improve the story, at least in my opinion.

A feature I have found lacking in many stories is the theory of how magic works, and explanation of how various fields of magic differ from each other. What is it that decides the outcome of duel between two wizards, and so on and so forth. Yes, I know it is magic, and logic has no place here. Still, it makes events less chaotic, and easy to understand. I guess it is just the Ravenclaw in me.

Apparently for the past few months too many stories have been circulating around in my head. They say confiding in others lessen the burden on your soul, and I have been feeling curiously light since I finally decided to write it in a text file and publish it.

Of course, the readers have my sympathy.
