Ciao ~~ I'm Nikka, a classical musician, writer/poet, photographer, and a hardcore Harry Potter nerd (proud Slytherin). “Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here!” —Albus Dumbledore

Since I am a complete romantic, Severus Snape is easily my favorite character, and his unrequited love that saves the Wizarding World truly moves me. My 2nd-favorite persona is Sirius Black. He can be reckless, but also beyond wise and loving. He was one of my fictional mentors during my childhood! Some of his quotes actually summarize Severus perfectly: "You're not a bad person. You're a good person who bad things have happened to." | "We've all got light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are."

Severus definitely had a dark streak, but he eventually conquered it, and I believe that his hatred was more of an obsession towards Harry. He was like a surrogate father, and at the end, he chose to act on the love inside of him. My life’s motto is “love over hate”, and Severus's story proves that a single person's love can turn the tide from evil to good.

Dumbledore is absolutely fascinating; I feel that he is a metaphor for God, as he can lead the way without providing direct answers. Another intriguing character is Barty Crouch Jr. My headcanon is that he was a Ravenclaw, as he was an evil GENIUS! Where did the poor boy "who looked nothing short of petrified... shivering, his straw-colored hair all over his face, his freckled skin milk-white" go so wrong?

I joined this site to read the amazing stories published here - thank you to all of the incredible authors, sending you all my gratitude and best wishes. Dumbledore says it perfectly (again): "Of course it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" And that's precisely how I feel about literature!
