Author has written 4 stories for Harry Potter. So, I doubt anyone actually reads this, but for the people who may happen upon it, hello and welcome to my less than stellar profile. If you have read my stories before, you may have seen me as BookLover757. However, I have changed it, simply because I wanted to. I also got rid of the majority of my original profile, because it was quite boring and rather uninteresting. In addition, I have grown up a lot and it was all outdated anyway. I don't really write much, and the stories I have on this account were written mostly because I read a lot of fanfiction and wanted to try it for myself. As a leftover from my previous profile, I have the following list of quotations that I cannot seem to bring myself to erasing. Enjoy if you want to. For anyone who has read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books, you'll know that at the beginning of each chapter there is a quote. And if you didn't, you know now.
