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 Action Packed! I was on the edge of my seat with every heart-wrenching sentence. I am eagerly awaiting more! Great chapter, Mia!

I don't like battles but this was very different. What else should I expect from you. Stop giving me angst I want happy now..Oh well its up to you but i really would ask nicely for happy.Extremely well written chapter. thank you
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I don't like battle scenes, either. Hate reading them and hate writing them. What's a girl to do? (Thank you so much for your review.)

Wow, Too many thoughts to express, but I'd say you did a good job of meeting the challenge of writting the battle scene. I'm slightly confused as to how Darco ended up with Hermione and not Luscius, but I'm sure that will work its way out. Great Job.

Another amazing chapter. I definitely plan to go back and reread the whole story when it's finished, as I'm sure there are things I'll pick up on the second time through that I didn't the first.I love this story and can't wait to read more.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you. I hope it stands up to a second reading! Let me know!

Ahhhhh... Beautifully done... so much tension and uncertainty. How lovely that their connection breaks through the Imperius -- and will (I hope) restore Hermione... *holds on tight

Yes, hold on, it's not over yet! Thank you!

I bow to you, darling. My God but you must be proud of this. It's wrenching and powerful and full of beauty. Brava, Mia.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much. I'm drained and satisfied that it mostly came out the way I hoped it would.

Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
We can hope.... Thank you!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
We can hope.... Thank you!
Oh my God!!!!! I get to read it first! Lucky Me... Um... that wasn't what I meant to communicate...Wonderful, wonderful final battle. You were fully entitled to get excited over it. Love the symbolism of Godrics Hollow and that nothing was decided or inevitable about anyone’s actions. Finally their back together! You've been killing me with all this anguish and she still doesn't know its over and Severus didn't betray her. So now onto healing and fluffiness...
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
This has been killing me, too. It's why it has taken so much longer to write. Thank you.

*breathes in deeply*You honestly had me worried here. I seriously thought that you might do a The Dark Won and/or One of Them Dies! type of story, and you didn't... I think... wow. What a breathtaking chapter! Very well done. You had me on the edge of my seat the whole darn time! And at the end... oh, Albus is alive, thank God... so sad about one of the twins... Bella is fucking nuts... I adore Draco here, freaking Malfoys trying to cover their arses... Wow.Severus is brilliant here. The angst is going to kill me, seriously.Two Mia updates in one day. Whatever are we to do with ourselves?! :-)

Tantalizing! Go on then!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you -- it's in the queue!
Response from missblue (Reviewer)
I been pimping this! :)
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Wow! Thank you!
Oh my, oh my. How VERY in-character they both are.
I know you said this is going to be dark, but I hope not TOO dark. ;-D
Lovely start.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, it really depends on how you define dark .....
Thanks!
Just found this gem and I'm so excited. I happen to love the Marriage Law stories and there are so few new ones. So far this one is a winner, new twists and turns....I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Cheers
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much -- I hope it continues to please you!
What, oh what, does Severus have up his sleeve?
And the sense of foreboding is starting to set in that maybe things are going to get rather dark rather soon.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I didn't intend for it to get dark. Severus kind of took things into his own hands, ahem.
Response from GinnyW (Reviewer)
*snicker*
He does have a tendency to do that. When can we have more? Soon, I hope?
yay, another interesting chapter!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thanks!
Snape is clearly having his own reasons for accepting Hermione's proposal. Can't wait to see what they are!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Snape always has his own reasons. That's what makes him Snape!
And now, the show begins!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
That's how I feel about it, too. I've been chomping at the bit to get Chapters Four and Five and Six up, because that's where we finally see it hit the fan, as it were!
Hmm, what is Severus up to? I can't wait to find out what his ulterior motives are. I really enjoyed this chapter and I can't wait for the next!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! I'm getting the chapters up a little more quickly now, so maybe it won't take too long!
I love this story! Is it based on the WIKTT marriage law challange? I always loved that challange and so many promisising ones were never finished. I can't wait to see more of this. Don't let this 'stone gather moss'.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh, I agree -- there are some wonderful unfinished fics out there, and I mourn their unfinished state! I don't intend to let that happen here.
ooooh I like it! *wags tail* keep going you've got me hooked.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you, thank you!
What is Snape up to? It is really fun so far.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thanks!
Oh. My. God. Every story I've read of yours I've loved but this, oh this exeeds everything. This review is for all chapters up to this one, Ch. 20, as it's the first review I've written for this story. So far I've read this in two chunks, staying up until the early hours (it's 2am and I'm up again at 7 - that MUST tell you something) as I just can't tear myself away. Quite simply, this is wonderful; breathtakingly, beautifully written, the essence and plot of the story is remarkably clever and the characterisation is exquisite; you KNOW Snape, you really do. I love this; words fail me. Thank you x
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much. Your words came at a time when I particularly loved reading them. I hope you enjoy the rest!
Response from asprickman (Reviewer)
I should have been in bed hours ago, intended to stop reading as soon as I'd done my reviw; guess what? It's now 5.30 because I just needed to know what happened in the next chapter and the next and the next.... You are, most definitely, a Witch; one who, perhaps, weilds a pen (weel, a computer I guess but that analogy doesn't work so well) instead of a wand. I am now definitely off to be - I'll lie in until 7.30 - 2 hours sleep but well worth while falling asleep over my desk for. xx
