Voted Best New Author (Lumos), Best SS/HG Romance (Amortentia) and Best SS/HG Angst
(Diffindo) in The New Library Awards.
Seventh-year student Hermione Granger decides to marry the one eligible wizard who did not ask for her--the horrid but powerful Severus Snape. All is not sweetness and light. Be careful what you ask for. Or, as has been said by many a wise witch, "Marry in haste; repent in leisure." MLC

With the completion of Care of Magical Creatures my fanfic output is going to slow way down, but if you want to be sure to know when new fics post, please follow me on twitter. I don't tweet much, but I'll surely tweet that kind of thing.
About Mia
I came to the world of Harry Potter relatively early, after first resisting it because it just seemed too trendy. But when the first book came out in paperback in the US I picked it up at the airport when I was about to catch a flight, and two chapters in knew I would be ordering the original from amazon.co.uk in hardcover as soon as I landed.
I came to fanfic late, waiting until after I'd read DH. That means I've been totally obsessed with the fanfic world of Harry Potter, and most specifically the SS/HG ship, since August of '07.
I'm helplessly and hopelessly hooked.

Thank you so much.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much.
Each chapter you're amazing me. There is so much passion in his acts, so much desperation too and above all else Love. Love that can save the world from the most Evil. Love that can make the sour Potions Master try the Prince Charming's Kiss (*smile at that thought*). Love that can infuse hope into the most pessimist being. Love which can make the "non-believer" to have Faith in whatever can save Her even if it is Muggle. Love that can bring a man to his knees, to pour his heart from his eyes with salvaging tears, Healing Tears and finally bring Her back.All this story was just about this Pure Love between two Souls and despite the drama, the pains, the laughs, despite everything, all of it was just about Love.I know it's just a story and nothing real but you have my deepest admiration and gratitude for having written it. Because whoever read this can't help have Faith in Love, believe in Its amazing, endless powers. At least that's the way how I feel.

Your review absolutely left me breathless. Thank you so very much for such a profound reaction.
Response from snitchette (Reviewer)
"Your review absolutely left me breathless."WOW *blush* I didn't expect that and I'm certainly not the one to deserve praise in here. I hope you'll catch your breath quickly and that it won't prevent you from writing next chapter. It's probably the first time I say this but please take your time as it's such a pleasure to discover such brilliant chapters of a wonderful story.

"Ms. Granger... And Severus has agreed." Hilarious! Nice work. This is really funny and I think its the first MLC fic that I didn't immediately think "oh so that's where this is going!" I'm excited to read more. And thank you for writing. Good writer! Virtual Biscuit!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Well, Hermione is certainly having a difficult time, maybe Severus will have something to say about the matter when he realizes just how his wife is being treated.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
It seems likely, doesn't it?
EXCELLENT!!!!
Wow. I was really thinking tragic ending for this tale right up until the end. That was beautifully written. I'm a little choked up by it. Very moving, well done.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much. I'm really glad to know that it moved you.

"Whoso loves, believes the impossible."Elizabeth Barret BrowningIt's been four days, I've read and pondered the update twice then read the reviews seraching for inspiration but I find I am still somewhat at a loss as to what to write. To say exquisitely done is the best I can do.For most of this story the focus has been on what Hermione has learned about and done for Severus Snape. For this one chapter he has been required to come to know and see just who the Fates, God, Magic whoever has graciously gifted to him. It's about time.I do have one question, why did Lucius save her for him?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you for seeing so much, because this is the chapter I have known I had to write from very early in the story, and in fact, is one reason I titled the story Care of Magical Creatures, because to me these were two very magical creatures who did not have people caring for them as much as they deserved. The irony was that this chapter of "caring" was when she was unmagical. I'm really gratified to know that the chapter moved you because it was an intense chapter to write, as you can probably guess.As for Lucius--all will be revealed!

Lovely way to show the changing dynamics between them.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you.
These two are way too funny! Crookshanks is my hero. LOL.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I had wondered how Crooks was going to fit into all this. I have a feeling he'll find stuff to do!
I loved the entire scene with the bed (the good one, not the EvilSnake!Bed) it read exactly how I felt when I purchased my first extravagent mattress. ;)
Great chapter, can't wait for the next bit!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you! You know, I had no idea until Snape mentioned it that a standard Hogwarts-issue bed might bring its own "issues" with it, though considering moving staircases and such, I shouldn't be surprised. I didn't realize until they spent that first night in bed that perhaps the only "issue" might simply be (as you put it) an "extravagant mattress." Maybe Hogwarts itself is the first entity to step up to the plate and take care of these magical creatures?
Response from remy (Reviewer)
Perhaps, it's a lovely idea!
Ah, loved the bed. And adored Hermione's trials in class. And, Snape is so deliciously snarky. More, please, I hated the wait this last time.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Believe it or not, I was on vacation for two weeks and still finding ways to update (and write) regularly. But then I got home and it took me a week to bounce back! But I'm back now. Thank you for your patience (or impatience, as the case may be)!
"Hogwarts' Most Unwanted" *bwah* well, now Master and Madam Snape are truly "you and me against the world" , which appeals to the twisted romantic that I am.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Careful what you ask for, eh? I guess she's learning that lesson in spades!
omg.. finish this plz?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I'm trying, I'm trying!
Hehehe, I was in a giggling heap of tears by the end of the chapter; name calling, snakey beds, and crookshanks to top it all off. You have it all, so what next?Personally I'm voting for an argument over whose side of the bed they're on when they decide to get intimate.Incase I wasn't coherant enough, loving the story!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Be incoherent at any time! I love it. Thanks!
