Hi, I'm Verity.

Here are some things you might like to know about me: Tea maniac. Crochet addict (particularly amigurumi). Writer of fan fiction (obviously; mostly I write about the Potterverse with a particularly focus on Snape & McGonagall, but there's some other stuff too) and other fiction (I'm Tea for Lupin on , too). Massive Lord of the Rings nerd. Bread baker. SAHM to Pippin, wife to Tennant. Lapsed herbalist, slightly medievalist. Attempted veggie gardener. Wannabe librarian.

I'm tea_for_lupin on LiveJournal, if you want to say hi!

Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall are my OTP, but I quite like Snape and Hermione when it's well-written (that helps with everything, of course). Oh, and Snape and Remus Lupin, because messed up though that is, it's better than Lupin and Sirius Black.
