HPC.com people, my glorious fans:

Arcarum- My favorite person on the whole internet, who keeps on egging me to write and helps me work out kinks with the plot. You really are an angel.

Prufius- Arcarum's sister, and the best damned beta-reader this side of the Mississippi (bare in mind I am in CA).

Professor Lyda Clunas- Redemption wouldn't be the same without you, nor would any of my other plots in process. Your expertise and writing style have really helped my writing, as well as your vocabulary. Words cannot express my thanks.

HGILM123- The first person to ever write a review to HP SoA (BA's cannon) and rant with me on Volleyball…you rock!

And there are tons more but the forum wouldn't let me in because of 'System Matenance'

To The http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/index.html is the ultimate source for anything Harry Potter. This is where my timelines for 'Redemption' and the soon-to-be-released 'The Old Crowd' are from.

To my muse, who I have so affectionately named Morpheus (after the God of sleep and dreams…hmmm…possible connection?), who gave me the idea for The Sorceress of Fire series (which is what it is now being called)

To my mom and sister, who tried in vain to keep me away from the computer yet failed miserably… :o)

To Sugarquill, who is now showcasing 'Redemption'

To JKRowling, the best author in the universe who has fuelled my imagination and increased my drive for the fifth Harry Potter Book

To Lyda Clunas, who discovered how to do html through MSWord for me **goes bashful** and has taken on the meticulous task of Beta-reading Redemption along with Zsenya from SQ.com.

And finally, to all those who have read and reviewed.flamed SoA and BA as well as 'Redemption'. You are the really reason that I choose to write, because I love praise for good work. May Karista live on within all of you cause Lord knows she is powerful enough…

Be on the look out for "Harry Potter and the shield of Osiris", the tentatively titled Book 7 of the Sorceress of Fire series.

Also! Look out for my website in the future! Now, it is on to wake up Morpheus and work on the next book…

Chapter 29 of SoA: Sprained Ankles Suck:

"I think I should stop smoking bananas in the afternoon," Karista mumbled, not wanting to open her eyes. She felt as though she was high, and by the sound of her speech, she was.
"Um…you haven't been smoking anything," a familiar voice said in her ear. In the distance she could hear laughing.
"Oh…too bad…I kept seeing a monkey dance in front of me smoking a banana."

Chapter 21 of SoA: If You Want to Deystroy my Sweater…:

The faculty were all gathered in the main hall, waiting for the four absent Gryffindors. There was only one table set up as there was very few of them there.
"Albus, I think that we should go up and see what they are up to," McGonagall said, glancing at her watch then at the door.
"Maybe we can expell them," Snape mumbled under his breath, also glaring at the door.
Off in the distance, singing could be heard echoing througout the halls.
"what the-," snape said, turning his whole body to the door as the voices got louder.
"IF YOU WANT TO DEYSTROY MY SWEATER," Bellowed Ron, who then started laughing hysterically, as if he was drunk. Harry and Ron waltzed into the hall, arm in arm, swaggering as if they were drunk.
"PULL THIS THREAD…HAHAHA…AS I WALK AWAY!" Harry yelled, keeling over laughing. All the professors started laughing, including snape.
"WATCH ME UNRAVEL, I'LL SOON BE NAKY!" Ron yelled, collapsing to the floor.
"LYING ON THE FLOOR!" Harry shrieked with laughter as he pointed at Ron. "I'VE COME UNDONE!"

Chapter 9 of BA: Sirius and the hair dyeing experiments

"HARRY JAMES POTTER YOU WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU YOU EVIL SELF-ABSORBED PIG!" Karista screamed from the entrance hall. Harry, now rolling on the floor with laughter amid the stares from the tables, looked up to see Karista's grand entrance.

Her hair, once a long dark blonde color, was now fire red and cropped an inch from her head. Her ears were now pointed much like an elf. Harry, Sirius and Remus, as well as the rest of the tables couldn't control their laughter as she paved her way towards Harry…"You think you can get away from me? Huh? Why else do you think that I play sports?" Karista bellowed, causing the Gryffindors to laugh harder. The staff, although seemingly quite controlled, were giggling into their hands and goblets. "Payback is a hard one, Harry!"

She flopped into the chair across from Hermione who was also laughing and began ladling porridge into a bowl. The laughter quieted down along with Karista's temper and Harry sat down next to her.

"Sorry. It was all in good-return-to-school humor," Harry said matter-of-factly, his eyes wandering to Sirius who was no where in sight. Remus meanwhile was looking at the floor and laughing hysterically.

"Your Godfather is having a good time I think," Karista grumbled, running her hands through her hair. "How did you do it?"

"Well, Sirius was my helper and we…er…cast a few 'charms'. Sirius said they wear off in a few hours…or days," Harry mumbled, not meeting Karista's eyes.

"DAYS? BOTH OF YOU ARE FRENCH TOAST, YOU HEAR?" Karista screamed, her face contorting into a mixture of anger and amusement.

Harry shook his head and began to eat his toast once more. Sirius had regained his composure at the head of the table, yet when he looked at Harry, he began to laugh even harder while pointing his finger at him.

"What?" Harry asked Ron, who was now staring at him.

"Nice hair there, Harry," Hermione giggled as Ron started laughing. Harry picked up a spoon on the table and looked at his reflection. His hair, once a jet-black mess was now bright orange and slicked back. He couldn't help but nearly scream in terror at himself.

"That's the name of the game, Harry," Karista murmured into his ear as she started giggling. Harry faced her, a wide mischievous smile on his face as he and Karista pulled into another huddle.

"I say we get Sirius back," Karista said triumphantly as she ran her hand through her hair.

"What do you suggest?"

Karista sat in thought as the Hall flared with laughter, which as soon as it had come, disappeared.

"Devil horns…bright pink devil horns," she said thoughtfully. "I think the charm is something like diabolus horrificus."

Harry and Karista resurfaced above the table amidst reproving stares. Ron and Hermione glanced at them curiously while Harry drew his wand.

"Ready?" He asked, watching as Karista pulled out a stick from her robes (A/N: Dumbledore had asked her to pick a stick off the ground to use in place of a wand so that her 'secret' would be kept)

"Ready," Karista answered back heartily, waving her stick in the air and muttering the enchantment. Harry followed suit and they watched as large, pink colored devil horns sprouted on Sirius' head. Remus, who had been talking animatedly to Sirius about something, stopped mid sentence and began to laugh uncontrollably.

Karista and Harry rose from the table and jogged merrily out of the hall before Sirius could retaliate.

Keep your ears open and your eyes shut… hahaha

Cheers!
