Hello people, my name is Athira.
I really suck at describing myself, so I'm gonna stick to the relevant facts.
I'm my class's own Harry Potter encyclopedia.
I wake up in the morning after dreaming about receiving the acceptance letter from Hogwarts.
I spend my boring Social Science lessons drawing things found in the Wizarding world. If I am lucky, I may be able to read HP books under my desk during the lectures.
My Patronus would be a Kingfisher.
I regard Prof. Severus Snape in high esteem, despite the flaws in his character.
But Harry's my No. 1 Gryffindor.
James/Lily is my OTP.
The Marauders and Fred & George are currently competing against each other for 'My Favorite Mischief 'n Mayhem Makers[MF3M' title.
My perfect Christmas gift would be the Marauder's Map. Atleast that would prove any non-magic believer that Hogwarts exist.
[Don't take me for a lunatic, I know it's all in the pages, but it'd be cool if it were real, wouldn't it?]
Nosebleed Noughats would be nice too, I could use it to fool my friends ;)
Okay, now I'm going to stop, or I'll start ranting. (Like I haven't)
May the force be with you,
Cheerio
Athira

Taking Direction by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 109]
Summary: What if the characters in the Harry Potter films were portrayed—not by actors—but by the book versions of themselves, as created by Rowling? How might things unfold on that set? What would the characters think of the changes made from the stories they’d already lived out… to the ones written for the script?
This fic is a series of one-shots, posted as chapters, each from the perspective of a different character who is dealing with the changes occurring between the book and the script.

Holy Movie Canon, Batman! This fic won the 2011 Quicksilver Quill Award for Best Chaptered Humor Story. Thanks so, so much!

Summary: "I don't wanna parachute into love,
No, I wanna skydive
And fall until we fly, live until we die together,
If heaven is my home, you could only make it better."
-Skydive, Jason Reeves
Seventh Year at Hogwarts is about much more than memorizing all the lessons for the upcoming N.E.W.Ts. It's about falling in love with someone you least expected to, about realizing who you are and what you want to do. It's about friendship, laughter, and the first steps towards a great betrayal. You strengthen the bonds already made and reconnect with someone you've had a fallout with.
Everyday Voldemort gets stronger, and the outside world becomes more real and more frightening. Lily, Marlene and the Marauders learn what it means to fall in love, what true friendship is, how to let go, and what is most important in life. Because not growing up is not an option. And some things are worth fighting for.
The Epic Tale of the Hogwarts Food-fight by Gin_Drinka
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 768]
Summary: "Some mistakes are too much fun to make just once."
After Lily Evans, Head Girl of Hogwarts, starts a food-fight with James Potter, Head Boy of Hogwarts, they are both given detention for the rest of the year, and are assigned a 'detention journal', which the staff say will help to settle their 'overwhelming and disturbing differences'. We have come across Lily's journal; her take on why the whole affair ever started, her intriguing relationship with one ‘supreme git of the galaxy’, the extents to which she will go for revenge and where it will lead her...
"And if for some unknown reason you come across this, Potter, and the paragraph above does not manage to penetrate your unusually thick head and convince you of my stupendous dislike of you, I hope the following sentence helps: I HATE YOU!"

Who's That Girl? by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 12]

But when she discovers there’s a new girl at Hogwarts, who has entranced all her friends, she’s determined, along with James, to find out the identity of the mystery witch.
After all, since when has Hogwarts accepted American Exchange Students?
And just why has Peter stopped eating sausages?

*Quote from The Epilogue*
Suddenly Harry was kissing her as if he couldn’t resist the temptation. There was a kind of frenzy to the kiss at first, a kind of desperate need, but it melted into something soft and sweet and gentle, a promise of a future when kisses would never be limited. When they broke apart he rested his forehead on hers, sprinkling a few affectionate butterfly kisses across her face. “I love you,” he murmured.
