You've just come to the place where I call home. I am Azalea and I love Harry Potter. I also like carry-out (aka "carrion". Crow joke.), manga and anime, Philip Pullman, and fencing. My favorite band, hmmm, three-way tie between Nine Days, The All-American Rejects, and Lifehouse. As of right now, I have become very into Brian Froud and his artwork.
I am proudly married to Remus Lupin, Ron Weasley, and Oliver Wood, and I am a Dumbledore; according to Saphirre Isle.
I also have four older brothers, youngest to oldest, Hugh, Aeron, Gryffyn, and Gareth. Hugh is my favorite, being only a year older than me, and Aeron is the one I detest. (Think not hot Sirius Black and you've got him)
In the long run, I am a crazy teenage girl who lurves reviews and chocolate, and if you like, you can go to my LJ and read another story which probably won't be able to get into the queue in time.
Do to confusing myself, I'd like to clear this up. MY PARENTS ARE BRITISH/WELSH, I WAS BORN IN AMERICA.
Which HP Kid Are You?
This beautiful banner was made by the amazingly talented Colores.

The Common Room Fire by ciscomom
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 18]
Summary: After a physically and emotionally draining day, Ron and Hermione find themselves alone with their thoughts - and each other - in front of the common room fire.
Very sweet. I like it, it's not nearly as corny as I thought it would be

Muggle Studies--The Muggle Way by I_LUV_MOONY
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 59]
Summary: The Marauders are in third year Muggle Studies, with their latest class project sneaking up on them: ballroom. "Who cares?" they think, "Hardly any Muggles even dance; they don't even like it that much. Why should we have to deal with it?" Professor Richardt has other ideas.
I recently read back through this and cringed at how poorly written it was. I'm going to finish the sequel, and then this story is getting completely revamped. Thanks to all who put up with the poor writing and complimented it!
Alright, I'm definitely warming up to this story more, now that I've reread it, but I'd like to see you describe things more, y'know? It's ok to go overboard on descriptions! I know, I've done it!
Hugs, Azalea
Author's Response: Second time\'s the charm! lol I\'ll work on the description in future stories, but I\'ve already finished this one. Keep an eye out for more stories! :D
Wow! This has improved a LOT! I'm so pourd....*tear tear* Anyways, good, much better. I'm very impressed with your knowledge of the ballroom (coming from the girl who can't dance).
Azalea
PS. I like the sound of Alexander :P
Author's Response: I\'ve been dancing since I was three, and I started ballroom two years ago. I didn\'t learn the tango until this year, though, so I\'m glad you thought I was knowledgeable. And I did my best to make Alexander appealing. :D
Haha! Yay! Lluvia, you've come such a long way, you're a much better writer now then when I first started this story! Good job, I liked all of the cute challanges and the dares were so funny!! *Remus with polka-dotted hair...hmmm...* And the last bit is the best *can't wait to see Sirius in tights...off in lalasiriusland* I hope this is means a sequel?!
Author's Response: Of course it means a sequel! I\'m just waiting for the right inspiration. My only concern is: Who wants to imagine Peter in tights? *shudder* Well, I can look past that if others are willing to. But, yeah, keep an eye out for a sequel in a couple of weeks. :D
I can't stop reading this chapter! The end is so funny.
Author's Response: Thanks. Now I\'m all smiles! :) The next chapter should be up soon; I don\'t know what is taking the mods so long. I love them, but like everything you love: it annoys you. But the mods are cool; I\'m not fussing too much. :D
I'm sorry, but this fic is really bad. The characters are out of canon, and your writing is like a little child's. I like the whole i dea of your fic, but you really just took too long to get to the dancing. But I urge you to continue in hopes that your writing will get better, if that makes any sense. I really hate leaving this review, but I want you to get better!
Author's Response: This is the kind of review that I like. Thanks for the advice and constructive criticism. I realized that I didn\'t really have a whole lot of details, but when I went back to try and fix it I couldn\'t find anything to do with it. I suppose the characters are a little out of canon, but I hoped not too much. I have another story that I think is better, and I may try to get that one on here. But I really do appreciate this review. Don\'t feel bad about it! :D

Author's Response: Note: Sorry about the double post. I have no idea how that happened. :D
Goodness! Now I feel bad for leaving you that mean review! You seem like such a sweet person, and thanks for adding "Heal Over" to your favorites! Have you read "Healing the Brit"? That one doesn't seem too popular....
Anyways, many, many, MANY apologies *I'm just trying to help you improve in a non-aggressive way!* to you, Lluvia/I_LUV_MOONY, from Crows/Azalea, if you care bout that.
P.S. I've taken like all of the quizzes on your profile, and I tend to get a lot of Remus Lupin too...Wierd much? I always found myself to be more of a James person, but maybe I'm wrong.....
Author's Response: Azalea,
It\'s cool. I understand how you were trying to help, so don\'t feel bad. I planned on reading \"Healing the Brit\", but I was short on time when I went to your author\'s page so I read \"Heal Over\". And I\'ve always known that I would be perfect for Remus if he was real. Oh, I wish he was real...*sigh* :D
Diary of a Thousand Heartaches by Seline Black
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 24]
Summary: Diary entries from various characters in the form of poetry telling of love, loss, and heartache.
Well then. Is some one a Lily/Snape shipper? Sorry, I'm not really into them, but I DO like your poems. They're very good.
Author's Response: I\'m not a Lily/Snape shipper, because I do not believe Lily ever cared for Snape romantically.
However, I do strongly believe he was in love with her which would partially explain why he can\'t stand to look at Harry. He has his mother\'s eyes, and it reminds Snape of how he sold them to Voldemort getting her killed. But the poem from Lily to James was only about Lily and James, not Snape.
Wizarding Tales for Bedtime by Roxy Black
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 24]
Summary: 
When Ron and Hermione expect their first child, Ron searches for his childhood book of fairy tales.
This story is a collection of the finest Muggle fairytales, lovingly rewritten and retold to appeal to Wizarding children world-wide.
Please note these tales were written before the release of Deathly Hallows. As such, the idea of Wizarding Fairy Tales was original at the time of writing. I must say that I was extremely excited to find Jo writing her own in the new book. (Though it was my idea first ;p )
Yay! More please!
Very cute, keep writing!
Just One Dance by Hokey
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 21]
Summary: Originally written for the Skele-Gro Challenge, this is a small, fluffy piece where Ron and Hermione finally come to realise their feelings for each other.
How wonderful! This gets a ten out of ten (Ten being the highest, naturally)!!
Author's Response: *gasps* Ah, thank you so much!! It pleases me to hear that you feel that way about how I write. =) Thanks for your wonderfully kind review!
Summary: Lily Evans never really questioned what she was told. She was told that she had everything, that others wanted to be her. She was told that she perfect. She never had a reason not to believe them all -- until it all falls apart.
This is for 'The Spring Challenge: To Laugh or Cry'. I am Kask of Slytherin.
Very powerful, very very powerful. I like it a lot.
Author's Response: Thank you!

A First Kiss by Harry_Ginny_Love
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 66]
Summary: First Kiss fanfics usually dissapoint me. They portray Ron as a cocky little Romeo and Hermione as a I-just-got-back-from-holiday-and-now-I-am-so-hot! girl. So I wrote an alternative. The way I think a Ron/Hermione first kiss fanfic should be written.
*One-shot*
Please read and review...all reviews will be responded to!!!!
This is really good! Truly, genuinely, sincerely, a good fic! Good job, but please do some editing with your quotations, just to fix up and make it look pretty! Again, it's terrific!
Author's Response: Thanks!! I didn\'t even realise the mistakes, thanks for telling me!!
Circe: The Goddess of Treachery by Ron x Hermione
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 8]
Summary: Circe. How little do we know about this Greek goddess. She could turn grown men, strong enough to lift ten oxen, into beasts by herself. She was gorgeous. When the men wandered onto her lonely island of Aeaea, all they could do was stare at her beauty and grace.
When David, the leader of his own ship, on the hunt for treasures, awakes on her island to find three maidens standing before him, beckoning him to Circe's palace, he refuses, yet his men follow. He has no other choice but to go along.
Circe eventually tries to pull him into her bed, yet David refuses; he has a wife and child coming at home, and he is not the type of man to betray her.
But Circe always gets what she wants.
This is an entry by Ron x Hermione of Hufflepuff for the Wizard Card prompt. I am using the all-mighty maiden Circe.
Amazing, simply that and nothing more.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much! I\'m so glad that you liked it so much. It was quite fun to write. Wow, amazing . . . That made my day. :) ~Lindsey :)

Features secret agent Hermione (theme song included!), semi-psychotic Ginny, smugly smirking Harry, Quidditch kit Ron, snowball fights, breaking and entering, presents, stolen clothes, owl poop, broken platters and a truly spectacular hexing of Malfoy.

The Pursuit by MagEd
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 375]
Summary: Harry and Ginny are happily married with a baby on the way. When they manipulate Ron and Hermione into both meeting them for lunch, the last thing anyone expected was for Harry and Ginny to be kidnapped.
Suddenly Ron and Hermione are left with nothing more than a note and the realization it’s up to them to follow the clues and rescue the couple they both love and adore. If only the clues weren't nonsense. If only they knew who could possibly have taken Harry and Ginny. If only they didn’t hate each other. If only they hadn’t once loved each other.
Life just got a whole lot more complicated for Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
*Completed*
"Harry was right: there was no such thing as understanding girls, no matter how old a bloke got."
Wow, another one! Yay!
