Located in Germany. Female, around 40. The first chapters of my published novels/novellas can be found here on the archive.
Other than writing, I am reading, cycling, running, and singing in a choir.

Thank you, dear!
haha, i can just see poppy's face!
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
:-) So could I. I like her, so that's the reason why she's in this story.Thanks for reviewing!
talk about being cut off from the world :)
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
No radio, no newspaper - luckily, Draco didn't mess it up completely!
Amazing. This last chapter is so much like fine food, all of the relationships in it combine like flavors in a rich meal. One of the best friendship pieces ever!
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
*grins happily* Thank you so much for your review. I will certainly think of it when I'm out dining the next time!
Really enjoyed this story.
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!
Love this story!!!! It's very gripping.
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
:-)Thank you!
Really briliant! Ubridge back at my school! I loved Hermione crying on Severus' shoulder and that he understood and held her. Too bad you stopped here - I'd PAY you to write Severus facing Fudge and Standing up to then throwing Umbridge out on her arse!!!! Too bad I don't know who you are.
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
You know, under the circumstances I'm tempted to let you know *g*A few have asked for a sequel; I hereby confess that I'm thinking hard of how to continue this story.And many hugs for reviewing!
Response from beaweasley2 (Reviewer)
If the first four chapters are any indication - it will be brilliant! Chocolate fules brain cells. Really! So does chocolate mochas! There is no scientific evidence for this, but I know it to be true!
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
Grumblembmble grmpf! So a sequel it shall be. But you do know that I usually threaten the one who requires a sequel into betareading it?
Response from beaweasley2 (Reviewer)
I'll be happy to - but my own beta would laugh her socks of if you told her I was going to! Maybe you might want to have me as a reader? *blushes in shame* My own story Self-Writing Parchment has 3 betas!
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
Want to have a look over the first chapter? I'd be grateful for input. And I usually have at least two betas... I'm not a native speaker, so anyone born British/American suits me perfectly *g*

Sure - but send it through Southern_Witch_69 so you don't get disqualified or you'll have to wait a few days until after the contest. I'd love to help you out.
I totaly loved the I'm dead - You're dead dialogue! Severus has a lot to catch up on!All considering he's taking his living rather well.
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
He's a man who survives. No way a snake could kill him off. Takes a bit of adjusting, and he'll be just fine.Thanks for reviewing!
Geeeeze Draco's thick! No newspaper - no radio - nothing? If draco had only been honest and told Severus Potter won, he'd have been fine! Thank Merlin, Remus is there to help him!
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
I like Remus! Really, really like him. And Draco - now who ever said that he's smart??Thanks for reviewing!
That was just lovely! I loved every aspect of it. Draco really honestly thinking he was helping while he was doing it wrong, Remus and his attempts at doing it better (and even made me hope a little bit for Remus/Severus...), Draco and his kidnapping Madam Pomfrey (which was awesome), the memories (my favorite being Harry insisting on waiting for a portrait) and Hermione's reaction when she saw him alive and (relatively) well, and Draco once again meaning all the best only to have it accidentally get screwed up a bit, although I agree, he couldn't really have warned her in advance.I think my overall favorite character here must be Draco. He meant well and he did his very best. It just didn't always work out like he had imagined or hoped it would. How very human.
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
Thank you so very much for your detailed review! I wrote that piece pretty quickly, as to hold the deadline and all, and I wans't sure if I managed the right balance between dark and funny. Draco is not one of my favourite characters, but here, I think, I sort of like him. After all, he's saved Snapes's life!
As SouthernWitch made it clear that she'd rather have no slash in this fic, I decided to keep Snape and Lupin on a friendship-level. But I have some slash brewing - I'm looking for a beta for that one, in case you are interested, leave me your mail adress and I'll get in contact.
Response from Moreteadk (Reviewer)
Sorry, I'm not exactly beta-reader material. English isn't my first language and you should see the amount of corrections I'm usually asked to make at this place. So I can't recommend you saddling yourself with me. :) You might just end up with more things needing fixing than you started with.
Response from chivalric (Author of Truffles and Strawberries)
Bugger. I'm not a native speaker either, and my sentences are shaped awkwardly every now and then. But although you possibly couldn't help me with my commas and gerunds, I'm depending on feedback as well, comments about characters, storyline, this sort of stuff. So my offer holds - if you are interested, let me know.
