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
Woooo! I hope the next chapter gets into the sordid details!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Lemons are on the way!
awwwww! Damn cliffie!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
The next chapter is in the queue!
Oh that is so unfair. How dare you end it right there!!! *pouts a whole bunch* I hope the next chapter moves through the queue quickly. I love this story. It's a much more realistic mlc response. (is that an oxymoron?)
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I don't know if it's an oxymoron or not, but I do appreciate it!
EVIL!!!!! Why so cliffie?! Ugg. . . . . . . whine. . . . . . I was so thinking this was the tea chapter, but I should have known. . . you are evil I tell you!! okay-- throws e-chocolate at your feet to help your muse and beta along in the updating process.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh, e-chocolate is always appreciated! And the next two chapters are written, so the muse is purrrring.
AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Ooops.
Even though part of me sensed that was to be the case, another part of me immediately went "What the...?" when I read the last line. What are they going to be brewing? Ooh, the possibilities...
Another fantastic chapter, and the perfect reward for having just finished my last college assignment until February.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Congrats! And enjoy your break from classes!
Thank you for the nice review!
oh my that was interesting I wonder what they are brewing ... what could it be?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
::whistling::
Evil cliffie! Great chapter but a really mean cut off point!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Sorry! But more is on the way, I promise!
Haha - really liked the "preseasoning" bit. Unfortunately, I didn't heed your warning about reading the next chapter without the one that followed so I read it and now I'm anxiously awaiting the next to see if all goes well and as planned. :)
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
All will go well and as planned...eventually.
Oooh. Hey, I'm willing to step in and be Hermione's body double if she would rather be elsewhere. ;)
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Hermione is odd in that she prefers to do her own body work, but she appreciates your generous spirit!
evil cliffy! more please.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
More on the way!
And now I'm wondering if he plans to spell his wand to do the stirring or if he'll be bothered to do it manually...
*headdesk*
A lovely chapter. Severus's thoughts regarding Bella make perfect sense, and I really do like the way he cares for Hermione.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, they do have stirring rods....
I'm glad Bella makes sense to you. I've had people question the age difference and I can honestly say I don't know because I found so many different explanations for their age. I'm just assuming it was her a few years older, but not more than three or four.
That is a most magnificent way to end a chapter! I can't wait for the next.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Wow, somebody who isn't throwing rotten tomatoes at me! Thanks! And the next chapter is on the way!
Hot Damn! Now we're getting somewhere. He'd better not muck this up! I was thinking the whole cauldron thing was an innuendo, but that last line was good and caught me! I was like a hanna-barbara cartoon with my eyes popped out!

Damn, five stars aren't high enough! 10/10!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Okay, there you go, making me squee!
See, that is just evil!! Leave us hanging with the threat of a good time...
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
It will all work out, I promise!
cute.when is he gonna call her Hermione?? AHHH lol
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I don't know! (But I just found out why he doesn't already, or at least, a possible reason. Watch for it to come out!)
I've read this from start to here in one sitting. Very much enjoying it.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Wow, thank you. That's a huge compliment, indeed.
It really is high time I left this wonderful story a review... Sorry for not having done so sooner!
This is not just one of my favourite MLC fics, but also one of my favourite SS/HG fics. The Marriage Law Challenge has been done to death, but this story has refreshingly original twists.
I love your take on Severus and Hermione, and their interactions are a delight to behold.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much for your review. I'm honored that you think so highly of this story. For me, the MLC is new since I'm new to the genre, but I can see how after this many years it would get old hat to people who have been around for awhile. I almost didn't start this one for fear they've all been done to death and nobody would want to read it. But it just begged to be written and so here I am! Thank you again!
Poor Hermione. She is so emotional you would think she was pregnant. I can't wait to see what the extent of her magic is. Because thats one powerful witch. I think Severus should just leave Hermione and Voldie-Butt in a room for a little while. I think she can take him. LOL
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Give her PMS and she'll have him down for the count!
I'm a bit naughty as I followed you over here from SH site. Your way more chapters ahead here and I just couldn't resist.Fabulous chapter, well all of them really. I'm hugely addicted to this story and will read anything your write you have such a way with words.Will continue to review you at SH but will read ahead here. Happy writing....
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you for reading and reviewing in both places. I'm honored!
Really enjoyed this chpater - first Hermione's reaction to the "tawdy little episode" which seems to show that she cares about Sev more than just to make his life easier, and of course secondly to Sev. who went to her first :) awww
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you. I love your "awww."
Go Hermione Go! Give the Malfoys some of their own medicine! And Albus can kiss my, erm, I'm sorry. I've lost control. Hehehe. Great chapter, can't wait to find what is Voldemort's assessment of Hermione: passed or failed?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you for the review! And I'm waiting to see what Voldy thinks, myself!
Oh dear. Voldemort knows that Hermione has genuine feeling for Snape and is jealous of his time with Bella. Not good.
And fourteen? Tawdry indeed.
I don't usually like Fred and George, but I liked them here.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I love Fred and George.
We'd better keep an eye on them, or else they might steal Hermione! (Um, just kidding.)
...and then a Thong makes an appearance.Hehehe!Oh, but I loved the part about the Polijuice "because all they want to do is please...". Poor Hermione, he didn't notice how hard was to her to hear that, heh? Lovely chapter!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.
It's so good to see he's putting Hermione first... to hell with duty for a change. ;-)
A very intense chapter. I'm quite curious to know just what Voldie's thinking about Snape's young wife! She's definitely made an impression.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thanks for the comment! I'm not quite sure what Voldy thinks, yet, but whatever it is, it won't be what we expect him to think!
