I've been an avid supporter of Fire and Ice for quite some time. I'm the author of the short trilogy composed of:
"You Bring Me Closer to God," "Reach Out and Touch Faith," and "You and Me."

I've been away earning my doctorate, so I finally have some free time (not really but let's pretend)

Hmm, a school even more majestic that Hogwarts? This sounds good! But will you be describing her years in great depth? Because that most likely means we wont see much of Draco...

Author's Response:

I really don't plan on going into a whole lot of depth with her school years.  In the first version I only had about a half of a chapter of her actually at school and I felt that that didn't quite do it justice so I'm adding in one, maybe two chapters of her school years.  You'll get to see plenty of Draco, don't worry!

 

Thanks for your review!

When The World Ends by Eustacia Vye    (Reviews - 31)

Ginny is tired of being pushed into the background as if nothing she endured counted for anything. It turns out, Katie feels the same way. They plan on making a difference in the war, even if no one takes them seriously.

I feel like Katie Bell is underappreciated character. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this will go.


And my newest story was named for a dave song too!

Author's Response: It's funny. I started playing Katie in an RPG, and that's how I started looking into what little of her there was in canon. And gradually I just fell in love with her and love playing around with various iterations of her character. It's pretty much how my love of Ginny started. Well, minus the RP stuff. :) I'm glad you like the story!

This was fantastic! I can picture Malfoy quickly pulling a business card out. For some reason, I can see him carrying them in a sleek, sophisticated silver case too...
