I am a relative newcomer to the world of Harry Potter Fan Fiction. I recently discovered the good 'ship HG/SS, and I've been hooked to the point where it is my OTP.
I was a Ruth Kirschstein NRSA post-doctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. When I am not at the lab bench or in the classroom, I am an organist. I'd be in a church near me, occupying an organ bench, and blowing dust around the nave. (Just kidding.) Currently, I serve as organist/choirmaster for a couple of small Episcopal churches near Duke University.

Can I go? I can relate to the feeling she has, lol.

~chuckles~Wish I could go, too! Thanks for reviewing, Stef. Sorry for the delay in responding...
Every thing is perfect!

Awwww! This is cute.
Just a question though. How do you find the number of words in Microsoft Word?
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
Merci beaucoup,
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
. :)To find the number of words in Microsoft Word (2003), go to File>>Properties. Go to the Statistics tab. There, you will see all sorts of numbers, including the number of words contained in your document.I have access to Word 2007 at work, but I haven't had a need to do word counts on documents I produce there, so I'm not sure if the above instructions will also work for Word 2007.I hope this helps!

Yes a lot as I'm still using word 2003. Thank you so much for your help.
Great update and a perfect chapter:-))
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
Thanks so much. :)
Yay, you put Marlborough in! :D
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
But of course. This wasn't going to be a completely Hobbit-dominated holiday, you know! ;)
A perfect sequel, Lyn!
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
Thanks, deb! Once I saw Brena's prompt, I just knew I had to add one more chapter to this story. I'm glad it worked. :)
Nice gift. Very promising, indeed.
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
Thank you. :)
*smile..... You want to hear a funny? When I first saw the blurb on the homepage, I read it as "13th" instead of "30th" - and Severus was giving her a birthday present. It made a lot more sense the proper way. Very cute. Sara
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
Ooof! Yeah, LOL. Thanks for reading and for your review.
What a great present! :D
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
I thought so too. :) Of course, I lived vicariously through the eyes (and AudioBoos, podcasts, and YouTube videos) of my friend who'd taken the trip to Australia and New Zealand. It inspired me to have Severus plot and plan to take Hermione to NZ. :)
I feel almost like her. For my thirteeth birthday (which will be in next january) I plan on a trip in Polynesia. The only difference between she and me is that I'm going all by myself with no lover to enjoy it with. *sad* Unless I find someone there...
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
That sounds like a *wonderful* trip,
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
! I hope you have a wonderful time there. :)
Aww, he's so romantic.
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
He is, indeed. *contented sigh*;)
That does sound like an awesome gift from her favorite person :)
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
I'd *love* to have such a gift! :)
Yay! I'll put the jug on! :)
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
Squeeeee!!!!! :)
I'd like that myself!!
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
As would I. A friend of mine just returned to Holland from a two-week holiday in Australia and NZ, and he "took" us with him via his podcasts, YouTube videos, and AudioBoos. I so so want to go! :)
Lovely. I'm sure they'll have a wonderful time in NZ.
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
I'm sure they would! :)
Something like that would definitely make a 30th birthday pass better. Mine sucked. LOL. nice short.
Response from lyn_f (Author of Happy Birthday to Me)
Aww, sorry to hear that, EM. Hopefully, better birthdays will be along for you.Thanks for reviewing! Sorry for the delay in responding...
