Title: Letters, Truths and Hopes 2/?
Author: Animealam
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Harry/Hermione, Severus/Lily
Warnings: Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Violence, Vampire Severus, Sevitus, Seer Lily
Disclaimer: Nope, doesn’t belong to me. I only play with them a bit.
Summary: AU, Severitus Challenge response – When visions from the past come true, the time for truths has come, as well as the time for hope and life. But will the ones in the middle of this be able to find that hope, and want to live?

Author’s note: To avoid confusion this chapter starts after they arrive from OoTP.

Athenakitty: I don’t mind spelling corrections at all. On the contrary I appreciate them. It helps me correct my writing, last chapter was a bit rushed but I have corrected those spelling problems I found so far. About Petunia doing what Lily asked her, she already started by taking the potions and reading her letters.

Dug: Thanks for your comments; I will take them into consideration. I usually like to mix telling with ‘action’ as I’m more dialog oriented in my writing. You can probably notice that on my other stories, but in this story’s case it didn’t flow, as at least the first chapters have letters in them. This chapter though, has dialogs and some action. Lily, even though she’s dead, plays an important part to get the story going, hence the letters. Don’t know if that explanation made sense, if not I’ll try to re-phrase it.

Note on my other stories: I sent the latest Apprentice chapter to my new beta a few days ago. I’m waiting to get it back to upload it. Hopefully it will be soon, so please have some patience. Second Chance is also almost ready, should be up by Sunday with the muses help. Unexpected Child? (sigh) it’s progressing (that’s something at least) at a VERY slow pace. I also have three more stories going round and round in my mind, but I’m probably going to wait a bit until I upload them.

Hopefully I will be able to update this story every week or two at the most as I’m a bit ahead on the chapters. It still depends on how I’m doing with the other stories. The chapter is not beta’ed’, so if you find any errors I would appreciate it if you pointed them out so I can correct them.

Warnings:

• THIS IS AN AU STORY (AU=Alternate Universe). I personally believe all Severitus Challenge responses are AU, but who knows what is in J.K. Rowling mind.
• Not a native English speaker writing.
• Characters might be Out Of Character (OOC)
• There might be spoilers for all five books.
• If you are a James and Sirius fan then probably part of this story is not for you, no flames will be accepted on this. Constructive criticism is welcomed though.

Title: Letters, Truths and Hopes 1/?
Author: Animealam
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Harry/Hermione, Severus/Lily
Warnings: Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Violence, Vampire Severus, Sevitus, Seer Lily

Summary: AU, Severitus Challenge response – When visions from the past come true, the time for truths has come, as well as the time for hope and life. But will the ones in the middle of this be able to find that hope, and want to live?

Author Notes: This is based on the challenge by Severitus, but is does not comply completely. The Challenge is: Snape is Harry’s father. I tried to give it a slight twist, but if by any means it looks similar to other stories it is not intentional. There are far too many going around, not only in, but other places as well to be completely original anymore; though the challenge to do that is there.

I have already typed around 55 letter sized pages for this story, which are around four chapters, perhaps a bit more. I’ll try to update weekly since this story has been bugging my writing time wanting to be ‘born’.

I am, as those who have been following my other stories probably noticed, a slow writer, and used to be even slower when I had to handwrite my ideas and then type them (can’t carry the desktop computer everywhere with me). I can only say that the invention of the tablet PC might make me write faster (I positively adore the thing, this whole story was written by hand on a tablet PC which converted my handwriting to a word document. NO MORE TYPING!:) ).

About my other stories, Unexpected Child is giving me one MAYOR migraine (past headache now) even though I have drafted a lot of the story I just can’t seem to get it to flow nicely, yet I’m still working on it. Apprentice‘s next chapter should be out really soon, just giving it the final touches before I send it to be betaed. The same happens to Second Chance (I had to do some corrections with the timeline). For those who have read my Inuyasha story Present Time, I’m still not giving up on finishing it one day, but I’ve been having one hell of a time to get the muse to go back to it.

Also on an OT note, I am looking for writers that want their stories (from all fandoms not just HP) posted in my website fanfic-zone, if you’re interested e-mail me. I accept all ratings and types. I have some of my favourites already posted there, but I still have to receive an answer to my request for permission. If your story is there and you haven’t received an e-mail from me please inform me if you give your permission.

Warnings:

Title: Apprentice: Chapter 8 (09/?)
Author: Animealam
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: None yet, previous Snape/OC
Warnings: Violence, child abuse, manipulative but not evil Dumbledore, OOC-ness.
Disclaimer: Nope, doesn’t belong to me. I only play with them a bit.
Summary: The war had been over for several years, and Harry’s life did not turn out the way he expected it. He ended leaving England and travelling the world. That’s where death found him, but he was the Master of the Hollows and second chances were a given. He would not waste them.

Aditional Warnings:

THIS IS AN AU STORY (AUAlternate Universe), even though I try to follow the original novels as close as I can.

Not a native English speaker writing.

Characters might be Out Of Character (OOC)

There might be spoilers for all books.

Author Note: When I started writing this story, book five was not yet out.

I have decided to include details from the fifth book, not may and not yet, but there will be certain aspects of the book included.

Author Note: Well finally it’s here. Chapter eight, I hope you like it.

To some Severus might sound slightly OOC, but my beta Aphy and I believe there is enough explanation to his behaviour in this and the other chapters to justify the changes.

I can’t promise I’ll update this soon, but I’m working on the next chapter for all the stories I have pending. So will try to get something up soon.

I’d like to thank Aphy for betaing this chapter. The explanations were great

Author Note: Sorry for the delay, I was ill for a while and then I found out I had some inconsistencies in my proposed timeline for the story, so I’ve been trying to correct them and get them to work with the plot.

betaed this chapter, and I’m looking for a new beta if there is anyone interested please e-mail me at the account in my profile.

Well here is the next chapter. I hope you like it.

Title: Apprentice: Chapter 6 (07/?)

Author Note: After much thinking, I have decided to include details from the fifth book, how much will depend on how the plot is working. But so far, in what I have already plotted in my notebooks, there will be more than I originally thought. It’s really working great, even though this will definitely remain an AU.

For those who disliked (or liked) toad-woman Umbridge, she will be making an appearance in later chapters. I had planned on creating a character that would have a similar role anyway, so why not use the one that J.K. Rowling had already created? And I barely have to change a few things of what I had already plotted.

I had originally planned to break this chapter in two but since I took so long in updating I decided to leave the 18 pages it is in one file. I’m also already working on typing the next chapter so with luck I won’t take as long.

In this chapter some things will be explained, so it’s not one filled with a lot of action. This is to keep building a background and also explain things that will be happening in later chapters.

Also Phoenix Angel, please e-mail me if you’re still interested in beta‘ing’ this fic for me. I had some problems with my e-mail program (my own fault for not backing up and experimenting with the stuff) and lost all my archived e-mails and addresses.

For the reason above, this chapter is not beta‘ed’, although I did as much proof-reading as I could some errors might have slipped past either MSWord’s grammar/spell checker or myself.

I took to long getting this chapter out, so I have yet to have it beta’ed’. I usually send it to Phoenix Angel, but I really wanted to get this one out soon. I have been obsesing with some of the future chapters, so in order to get there I need to get this and about three more chapters out.

I really appreciate all your reviews and some I’ll take into consideration. I had planned on adding a chapter to answer reviews, but with new policies I don’t think so. Anyway I’ll respond to some on the next chapter since I need to read through the lot of them.
