Hello! :)
As you've no doubt realised, the blog has a new look! :D I thought I'd change it up a bit. :)
Anyway, I've updated "Defining Moments" again so please read and review. :D

Excerpt from Chapter 4:

There was a loud thump as Sirius jerked his head up in surprise, skidded on a loose sock and collided with his trunk. “Fuck,” he groaned from the floor, clutching his leg. “Fucking- Pete- keep your things on your side of the room.” The sock hit Peter in the face. Sirius picked himself up off the ground and dropped onto his bed, cradling his knee.

“Sorry,” Peter mumbled, tossing the sock at his trunk. He wasn’t neat by nature, though the other three were. It was always his things left lying around, though he was better than he’d used to be; in third year, Sirius and James had hidden his possessions if there were more than seven on the floor at any one time.

“S’all right,” Sirius grunted. Then, “This is going to bruise.”

As usual, the next chapter will be up tomorrow. :)
Bye for now!

Hello!
As promised, I've just put the next chapter of "Defining Moments" up. I've also had a request for an excerpt of "Innocent" and that will be up after I have finished publishing updates about "Defining Moments".

Excerpt from Chapter 3:

“He deserves to be put down,” Severus muttered.

Black lifted his fist so quickly Severus hardly saw, and even quicker, Potter had smothered what was sure to have been a painful blow. Then Potter snapped his own fist back and it collided with Severus’ jaw. He doubled over, clutching his face. The teachers were on their feet but Potter made no move to attack him again.

“How dare you!” Potter snarled, eyes blazing. The air seemed to thrum with power and Slughorn looked quite unnerved. The papers on Dumbledore’s desk fluttered but the window was shut and Severus doubted wind was strong enough to knock books off the shelves.

Thank you to all those who have reviewed Chapter 2. :)

Bye for now.

Hello!
Chapter 2 of "Defining Moments" is up, and I've also redone the "White Flags" banner; I was in a creative mood today...

Anyway, here's an excerpt of Chapter 2:

“Hi, Moony,” James said weakly. The wolf’s eyes brightened and his tail made a funny movement that could have been a wag. “How are you feeling?” The wolf cocked his head to the side, brown eyes fixed on the boys. James didn’t like the way he was looking at them at all. “No, Moony,” he said. “We’re not dinner, we’re friends. Or at least I am. This git here’s not a friend but I’ll be very cross if you eat him.” The wolf took a slow step forward, sniffing curiously.

“We’re going to die,” Snape whimpered.

“And who’s fault is that?” James snapped. “Moony, that’s a little close. Back off a bit, mate.” Moony growled. “Or not,” James said. “Just don’t come any closer.” 


The next chapter will be up this time tomorrow, and thank you to those of you who have already read and reviewed Chapter 1. :)


Bye!

Hi all!
The first chapter of my holiday project titled "Defining Moments" is up - there's a link on side. There will be six chapters in total and they'll be up every day from now. I'll put the Google Document up once the last chapter is published.

Here's an excerpt from Chapter 1:

Snape’s expression could have curdled milk. “And you?” he asked. “Let me guess? I’m jealous of you too.”

“Snivvy, I think you’re jealous of everyone,” Sirius said. “But if I had to guess your reasons concerning me, it would probably be because I can fly in a straight line when I’m on a broomstick, because I’ve kissed more girls than you’ve ever talked to and because I know how to use a shower.”

“I think you think too much of yourself, Black,” Snape said.

That's all for now!

Hi all!
I haven't posted anything here for a while - school's been unbelievably busy of late... :S But, it's winding down now and I go on holidays next week!!! :D
I haven't been writing anything lately, but that may change over holidays; I've got a few ideas but not much beyond that, yet. Speaking of ideas, though, I've decided what my end of year story will be and I have around fifty pages of notes about characters, plot points, significant events and I've even written a scene or two. :) It'll be called "Innocent" I think. :D
Anyway, I've put up a new poll - I might leave this one going for a while - so answer if you've got the time. :)
Bye for the time being!

Hi all, another update!
Thank you to all of you who have looked at "Trainee" and a bigger thank you to those who reviewed! :D
I seem to have the writing bug again - as well as an actual bug that kept me home from school the last few days - and since I was up to date with all of my homework and had nothing to do... I wrote.
It's only a short one this time, titled "Furry Little Problem" (the title is rather self-explanatory) and I've also added it as a Google Document for anyone who's interested. :) There's a link in the column on the right, and a preview below:

Excerpt from "Furry Little Problem":

“What’s going on?” Remus asked, all traces of laughter vanishing from his face.

“We know,” James said after another glance at Sirius.

Remus blinked and his expression cleared completely. “You know what?” he asked calmly.

“Everything,” Sirius said, grinning. James elbowed him, rolling his eyes. The shaggy-haired boy scowled. “I was just trying to lighten the mood!” James sighed and Sirius gave him an apologetic look. “Fine. I’ll be serious.”

“Hard not to be, isn’t it?” James asked slyly. “It’s your name.”

“Now who’s not focusing?” Sirius shot back.

“Oops.” James gave Remus a guilty look. “Right, er... well... we know about where you go every month.”

Remus’ face was stone. “My mother’s very sick,” he said, gravely.

James smiled pityingly. “And so’s your Aunt Catherine-”

“-your Grandmother Florence-” Sirius said.

“-your cat-”

“-and your Uncle Benjamin.”

“My family are victims of a rare medical condition,” Remus said curtly.

James and Sirius sighed in unison and shared another look. “Rem,” James said gently, “your Grandmother’s died three times this year.”

That's all for the moment.
Bye for now!

Hi everyone!
School's back and, from the lack of posts recently, you've probably guessed that I've been extremely busy with school work. I have, however, been using every spare moment to try to finish "Trainee". It's a little later being uploaded than I expected (and hoped) but it's also about fifteen thousand words longer than I expected... :P
Anyway, it's up now, so check it out on the 'My Fanfictions' link on the left.

Also, I've put up a link to the "White Flags" Google Document, which can be saved as a PDF for those who are interested.
