I love reading and writing and music. Movies and poetry and books and singing and violin and piano and theatre, ballet and operaand all those things. I'm busy and I'm bad at updating. But I do love my stories. It's a long-term relationship, trust me. Even if it is off-on... kind of like Rachel and Ross on Friends!

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I found some pictures that will help you picture Hermione’s outfit from Chapter 22 of Terrifie.

This picture represents the necklace, however in the story the links are a little smaller and the pendant in the middle is bigger than the rest of the rubies.
