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

Care of Magical Creatures recently received two awards on "Secrets of the Dark Vaults," a Russian fanfic site. Best NC-17 and Best Maxi Translation. The Nine-Year Plan was awarded Best Mini-Fic! I'm delighted to be in translation and to please the readers in Russia!

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.
Reviews for Care of Magical Creatures
So much for the poor girl to process. It's no wonder she's out of control.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh yes, she's bludgeoned by more than mere bludgers!
Yes, it's me again. The one who refused to read this fic before because it's WIP, but once did couldn't stay away from it because she somehow managed to get addicted to it. And yes, I'm only at this chapter. Get to loose myself in another 22 chapters before waiting for an update... yippee!
God, I really really love your style. Seriously, I do. How you string every word into sentences, the words you choose, the smoothness of the plot. Everything is simply very well-written! You don't have to use bombastic words with long winded sentences to bring out your point. And yet, you manage to convey the depth of emotion and complexity of both Severus and Hermione. There is no one single boring moment. And you wrote Severus magnificently. I like the fact that he cared for her but still remain his snarky and surly side. And he'd soon hug Harry Potter than admit that he cared for her - verbally. I suspect she knew but perhaps couldn't bring herself to hope that he does. And Hermione was being right down bookish! It fits her exactly as how she was in canon.
And this chapter is simply wonderful. I'm edging to read more! I simply love Severus reaction when he worried for her, his sense of protectiveness over his wife (only Severus can say the word 'wife' and remain sexy).
If any non SS/HG fans asked me for fic to convince them of the possibility of this ship, I'd recommend yours.
Good job!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Your words of praise overwhelm me!
Thank you so much--and especially for taking the time to write them. They really do mean everything.
Excellent chapter, although the title did remind me of a clip I saw on potterpuppetpals.com. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out at some point. It'll make you chuckle.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
You're not the first one to point me there! And I'll admit, I did think of the other meaning when I used this title, but used it anyway!
Hmm, most thought provoking.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thanks.
Sh1t! Don't mess with Hermione! Where did that little display come from? So many questions raised in this chapter. Great stuff!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
More where that came from!
I need more hankies for this one. Damn, you can play the heart strings like a virtuoso!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you!
*sniffle* Gosh, that is sooo romantic! In a twisted kind of way of course.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh, I don't think it's twisted. I think it's very romantic! His heart is taking him where his mind refuses to go.
Aw! He's so sweet when he's being a knight in shining armour. Well, maybe not shining armour, but you get the idea.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, as shining as his armour ever gets, shall we say?
Excellent. I'm really enjoying this fic. It's full of angst and suffering and plot thread woven into a rich tapestry of pain and self loathing and confusion. It's brilliant! Thanks!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much. I love angst!
Great stuff. The twisted little dance the slightly-less than-happy couple are performing is brilliant.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Ah yes, the dance, the dance!
Sev is such a fallen angel. His internal conflict is really moving. And Hermione is so stoic and such a trooper. I love all this suffering. Keep it up!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, she has always been a trooper. Always seems to get caught up in the guys' battles, and always is the one to come through in a pinch.
Segregation is always a bad idea. But what about Doctor Sev? Bedside manner needs polish, but he could tend my wounds anyday!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
LOL! Yes, his bedside manner is lacking, indeed.
Oh yeah, blubbin' like a baby!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Awww... I love your responses!
Harsh! I think I'm gonna cry!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh yes, this chapter really was wicked fun to write, even though I knew the outcome would be harsh and painful!
Fantastic and poignant as always!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you!
Oh wow, that was good.... but need more!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you... more is on the way!
Tangled webs indeed. I'd love to read on, but it's very late. I'll be back!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Night-night!
Layers of sub-plot going on in this fic! Love it!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you for your wonderful reviews!
Can't wait for Saturday! ;)
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Ah, yes. Saturday...!
lol! Didn't see that coming! Aristocracy! Nice interactions too.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Glad you liked it!
great update! i enjoy the way you make hermione young but not too young and i think severus is spot on. thanks so much
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you! I appreciate that more than you know.
Excellent! Glad to see Hermione growing up. I wish my lunch was a bit longer so I could read on, but sadly, the idiots are massing downstairs and I must lay down the law with them. I'll be back.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
LOL! I hope the law got laid!
*chuckle* Poor Hermione, and poor Sev. Do either of them have a clue where they are headed? Or what they're doing?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
If he had a clue, he'd be outta there like lightning. ::evil grin::
You write characters with such insight and depth, it's amazing! How do you do it?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thanks. And, honestly, I don't know how. They just seem to "be."
Pendragon Parkinson is a vile and nasty man! I cant imagine a father offering his 13 year old daughter, just because Severus has a young bride. She is 18, not exactly a child anymore.
I hope he has not alienated her completely.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yep, Pendragon is nasty.
