Gryffindor Know It All

I'm still around!  I know you probably thought I fell off the face of the earth.  Well, it was a close thing!  Work has me very busy but thankfully, I am thoroughly enjoying it. 

I just came off of a two week vacation where I've spent the last couple of days of it writing a short story.  It is (for now) a one-shot but it does have great potential to grow.  I haven't committed to that yet so for now it is a short story. 

It is very different for me.  You typically know me for the HG/SS ship but this story is Hermione/Harry.  I know.... just read it, I really think you will enjoy it.  LOL!

Why Marriage Therapy
If you haven't read Sex Therapy in the Dungeons then do so, now! This sequel starts with Hermione married to a selfish, manipulative Remus and Severus trying to save her. Of course, Severus has his own selfish reasons... he wants her for himself. Ruthie has a lovely humor in her writing and uses her knowledge of the psychological make up of people to weave a plot that will keep you begging for an update.

My Rating: 10/10


I know some of you have been rec'd several times over (especially my lovely beta, Wartcap, who deserves every rec she gets) but for me this is HUGE! LOL!

Valady is a gem! Here's the absolutely fabulous banner she made for me! YOU GO GIRL!

After a way too long hiatus, the next installment of Marriage Therapy is up!

On Ashwinder at http://ashwinder.sycophanthex.com/viewuser.php?uid=28512
and
FFN at http://www.fanfiction.net/~bloodybrilliantruthie

It's been four months since an update. I'm sorry but I am a Remus fan BUT I ended up hating MY Remus, so it has been difficult getting around that for me. However, the fourth chapter is up and in this chapter we see a Hermione in the midst of a transformation and to top it all off, she ends up having a late night (or early morning) conversation with her ex - the wonderful Severus Snape! Enjoy and please review!

Anyone interested in creating a banner for this fic? I'm piss poor at these things!   THANK YOU DIANE!

Love,
Ruthie

This is the state of Gasoline in the USA... really freaking funny -  but we're not the ones laughing all the way to the bank. 

   I can't wait!  In one month Severus and I are going to Cologne, Germany and Paris!  

Unfortunately, we're flying into Frankfort and I have to figure out the rail system to get us to Cologne.  We're going to spend a week there and then rail it over to Paris for three days!  While we're in Cologne, Severus will be working but I plan on doing the town!  LOL!  Of course, I haven't really learned enough German to 'do the town' on my own, but hey, I'll just wear a t-shirt that says, "American here, please help."

  The only other language I know is Spanish, so we'll have to rely on my husband's rusty High School French.  Actually, I'm busting on him for no reason.  Several years ago we went to Quebec, Canada and NO ONE we encountered spoke English and Severus did fairly well speaking French and getting us around.   

I'll definately post pictures!

I just played a fun game of Sorry with my son.  Thank God he was in a good mood and lost graciously!  It was rather funny.  He did an evil move against me so I picked up my Elder Wand and said, "Avada Kadavra!"  He said, "Hey, you just tried to kill your son!" and I said, "Yeah, but it didn't work."  Then he said, "That's because I'm the Boy Who Lived!!!!!"
