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 many remarkable things in this chapter.First his almost - love - confession and then the way she stood up to him in front of the Order.Oh yes, they use him, but trust him?I'm sure Albus has a few things to twinkle upon now.The twins were great. One has got to love them.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Okay, I will shamelessly admit that I love this chapter. I love how she stands up to the Order and how she is so proud of him, but I am totally in love with the Weasley Twins and therefore loved writing their reaction.
Thank you!

Oh, so much trust.That really must be a burden.Still loving the ride on the rollercoaster you are taking your readers.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you. I'm so happy that it's working for you.

He surely must be the first, not poyjuiced man to live through a female orgasm.That experience must be life-altering for any man.

Well, it certainly seemed to catch him by surprise. LOL!

I can't help, but when you mentioned his weapon of choice, I was thinking of Romeo and Juliet.Waiting up for someone you love to return home savely ... you wrote that scene very touching.I like your Madam Hooch more and more with each appearance she makes.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much. Waiting is always hard, and in this case, even moreso.

They'd treated her vagina like it was a railroad station complete with rails ... *Snort*Those revels ... I wonder what you plan with them.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, at least he noticed and did something about it... after the fact!

You delivered a good explanation to the scenes of Snapes childhood we know from canon!There's much to process in this chapter.I like Hermione's realisation that she has no place of her own anymore - and what the Room of Requirement offered her.Oh, and Snape's reason for marrying Hermione. It's good that she knows it - she had to know it eventually, but the time and how it was delivered must have really hurt.Your Snape is so full of self-loathing, doesn't trust himself because of actions out of his past. It was high time he got a loyal and loving partner at his side.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh, you have the core of him, his self-loathing and pain. But Hermione is doing her best to break through and give him what he needs. Thank you so much.

I cannot believe that I have not read this earlier! AND I believe that there is some other story by you up to be read, and I haven't read that either, and thus am failing terribly as a fangirl! *searches for a lamp to Dobby-smack self*Erm. Yeah. Anyway, here I am finally now, thank GOD, and as always another marvellous chapter. Sadly that's about the limit of my reviewing abilities at the moment. But take it as said that I cannot wait to see (albeit with some trepidation) where this one is heading... *hugs*
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much!!! You are a fabulous fangirl, don't you go all Dobby on your fabulous self!

OH.Oh, Mia, HE PUT HIM UNDER THE IMPERIUS CURSE! Gah! And invited him to wallow in the pain and the anger and the hatred ...He's got to throw it off, Mia. I know he can; Harry Potter can do it, and so can Severus. I have full faith in him.They'll be together again soon ... oh, they need one another so badly!*hurts*
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Wait--you think Severus is as powerful a wizard as Harry Potter?
Surely you jest!
Snerk.
Thank you!

Hee. Is there a marriage law attached to this?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
But of course!
I think she may have put her foot in it there.
Oh yes.

I think her Gryffindor fire oveerode her Ravenclaw brain on the wrong day.
Ack...too old too rut. So misguided...Great story so far though.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you -- I hope it continues to please!
It doesn't seem like Hermione actually thought her plan through as thoroughly as she thought she did!
An interesting start, certainly.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thanks!
"Care of Magical Creatures", indeed!! In addition to forgetting some pertinent facts relating to the man in question, Hermione also appears to have forgotten the English translation of the Hogwarts school motto -- "never tickle a sleeping dragon". Damn, she didn't just tickle it -- she gave it a great big slap on the rear! And I always thought that she was supposed to be the smartest witch in her year...? Something tells me that Hermione may have botten off far more than she can chew this time! I love your characterization of Severus -- seemingly very true to canon, in all his waspish glory.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Smartest, yes. But only through lots of research. Remember, she has to actually study something before she masters it. (wink)
Thanks!
This is really exciting. And LOL about speaking of good old times relating to fanfiction. as if we were already that ancient... or maybe we are?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I'm new to fanfic in general and this ship in particular, and this is the first I've written. I was worried that MLC was all "been there, done that" and I'd only be retreading old turf, but decided to go for it anyway!
Response from septentrion (Reviewer)
MLC fics are old stuff indeed, but ever so popular. Several people have asked for MLC, or something looking like MLC stories in the sshg_exchange.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:( its done? *sniff*
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Bless your heart! Yes, it's done. It was so hard to write the last chapters but they finally got written and it's now complete.Having you read and review is a balm to my soul, knowing that it's still being read and enjoyed.Thank you.
I don't think Hermione has any idea what she was getting her self into. I have a feeling Professor Snape is going to be as difficult as possible, but isn't that what makes us love him. Thanks for another wonderful chapter.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I hope I don't freak you out with these fast responses, but I happen to be online and am loving your reviews.Thank you!
Response from pearl city princess (Reviewer)
No, a fast response would never freak me out. I am really loving this story. If you have written anything else I would love to read it as soon as I am finished with this one.
I am so glad I started reading this, I have truly enjoyed this first chapter. They are both so true to character that I can totally imagine them saying these things to each other. I can not wait to get to the next chapter.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you! I'm thrilled that you're enjoying it!
That was beautiful. Excellent. Even the ending was good and I've read a lot of fanfiction with endings I didn't like. I laughed and cried and felt anxiety these characters and I'm so glad Severus has a happy ending here.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
You just described how it happened to me, too. I laughed and I cried, and in the end, had to give him a happy ending.Thank you so much for sharing your journey through the story with me. It means a lot to me.
oh god! Sooo overwhelming!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I dreaded this chapter--didn't know how to write a battle scene, so I'm extremely happy that you thought it was effective. Thank you.
What are you doing right now? Write. Now.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I am writing.Right. Now.That's what I was doing when you asked this question, too.Heeee!

It's like I can see you in my minds eye. Computer screen glowing, face scrunched, fingers flying across the keyboard... putting to bed chapt 57. Yes. Divination. I have the gift.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
You definitely have the gift. Because that's what I've been doing. For a month. Maybe longer. My face is tired of being scrunched, I can tell you that.

how in the heck will you get them out of this. AGGG. Poor Severus, Poor Hermione. This is so painful!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
It was so painful to write! These chapters just killed me!Thank you for your reaction to them.
OMG this is so terrible and painful and sad. I must keep reading. I can't stop.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so very, very much. Again, your reviews thrill me.
Oh NO, how is he going to get out of this. Always, the man is backed into terrible corners. Poor Severus. He deserves better.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I know. But it didn't seem that farfetched to me. If DD would ask him to kill him in canon, this is not so different. Bastard.
