Thus bad begins... Summary: "I must be cruel only to be kind; Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind." --- William Shakespeare That very night, Snape decided that Hermione Granger would become his! Through the evening's chance encounter, he was now a man with a mission and an obsession... In other words, Severus Snape was a man in dire need of a plan! Authors Note: This story was initially intended to be a short PWP ficlet, but since I've gotten such overwhelming response to the first chapter and several requests of `please more', I've decided to throw in a bit of plot and extend the story to four or five chapters... perhaps more. A warning though, there will be no fluff in this tale... I like my Snape bad, not without some redeeming traits mind you, but still bad... very bad! :) --- Bibi http://ashwinder.sycophanthex.com/viewuser.php?uid=922 http://adultfan.nexcess.net/aff/authors.php?no=18563 A Life?

This group is called Harry Potter for Seekers and is intended for broadminded people of all spiritual backgrounds who consider themselves seekers after spiritual truths; particularly in Harry Potter. Areas for discussion include alchemy, comparisons to other literature with spiritual foundations (e.g. LotR, the Bible, legends, fairy tales, etc.), religions such as Christianity, Buddhism and Paganism, philosophies such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy, and of course one's own spiritual insights gained on the journey of life. This group would in no way compete with other HP groups, and no criticism is implied or intended. The whole idea would be to have a small group where the discussion would be concentrated on one subject area so that it saves time looking through hundreds of posts which are not on spiritual topics. I do not want to restrict membership of the group in any way, but of course discussion will have to adhere to the objects of the group. I will continue contributing to HPFGU as before. Although I've been a Potterhead for nearly four years I feel more enthusiastic about Harry Potter every day. My amazement grows daily as I discover more spiritual depth and power through reading, discussing and contemplating the books frequently. What was once secret knowledge for the very few in the Mystery Schools of the past is now being revealed to the world population, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. I'm inviting people who also feel there is a deep spiritual foundation hidden in the books, and would like to learn more by discussing it. I hope to meet some of you at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harrypotterforseekers/ Hans From lists at heiditandy.yahoo.invalid Fri Aug 20 09:48:30 2004 From: lists at heiditandy.yahoo.invalid (Heidi Tandy) Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 05:48:30 -0400 Subject: FictionAlley Server Move Message-ID: <1092995314.DA2CA3C@...> Hi all! Following in the footsteps of The Leaky Cauldron, FictionAlley will be moving to our shiny new server tonight, which means that we'll be closing the forums, discussions and reviewboards for about six hours, starting at midnight eastern time. If you visit one of the 'closed' sections tonight, you'll find a slew of links to other sections of FictionAlley, including our chatroom and newly uploaded fics. FictionAlley should be up by six am eastern time, and we should also see an end to busy-server messages, thanks to dragon.com's generous donation. Any questions should be directed to help at ....

You'll need an 88x31 button (which we will automatically download and host for you) and a brief description of your site. The list will have a lot of built-in exposure from HPANA itself, and traffic will flow into it from other sites as the list grows over time. It should be a great opportunity to get some publicity for your efforts in the fandom.

In this chapter: Chapter Eleven: Moving On A date in Diagon Alley goes wrong and Draco is facing the choice of the one he loves, and the one he loved. Dennis faces a vampire's past and his future is questioned. Chapter Teaser: Neville's thumb brushed over the smooth skin beneath it, and he studied Justin's sleeping face, wondering what he would say to him if he was awake. 'Sorry about locking you up here, but we had to you know...after what happened to Abbot. Sorry the death of your wife made you insane...at least you got to hold her as she died unlike Draco. And at least Abbot won't grow up to visit you here every holiday.' No. None of that would do. So what did you say to a fallen comrade and friend who was still breathing? No words could bridge the gap that had sprung up between them, but Neville had to try. The Story Summary: Neville is the Wizarding World's new hero, but is he ready to face those that betrayed him? The Story Basics: Neville has finally stopped the second war of Voldemort, but as the Wizarding World starts to rebuild, the survivors must deal with the fall out of war. Life is tough for a hero who never wanted to be. Between his boyfriend turning on him, his best friend being a temperamental dark wizard and his comrades going insane, Neville must deal with life as it is, and life as it will be. And with a new Dark Lord rising, life only looks like it's getting more hellish.
