So, I've been on PK for...oh who knows how long...and finally decided to register and then found my way to the forums to see what was going on around here and all I found was a bunch of crazy peoples

*runs and hides*
*peeks around corner*
*glances both ways*
*steps out and produces a small soapbox*

Well, everything seems safe and so, an introduction.

I believe I was about 10 when I read my first Harry Potter book, it was a birthday gift from my aunt. I didn't really read it at first, just let it sit on my shelf, but one day I guess I was bored enough that I picked it up and then it just kind of grew stuck to me. It was seriously magical (no pun intended...no really) and by the time I had finished reading it the second book had already come out. So I went to the library and was going to check it out, but instead I sat down and read it in a few hours and then went home and re-read the first one. So, Harry Potter was certainly a huge part of my childhood.

I didn't really start reading fanfictions (well, even discover them) probably until GoF or OotP, but personally, I think that was the best time to because by then the characters were old enough and there was enough backstory to actually do things with them

Anyways, oh and by the way...my names Justin and I'm currently a senior in high school >_<, I've been drawn to fanfics ever since, even if I do have my off-seasons they always draw me back...so guess I'm here to stay.

Cheers
-Cha (which would be my middle name, which has also grown into something of a legend in my high school for some reason)

PS: I attempted to write a fanfiction about a year before DH, but then school happened and it kind of died. Maybe I'll resurrect it sometime, who knows D:

Edit: Oh wow, I forgot to mention, I'm a big Harry/Hermione fan...have been since Book 1
Other pairs I like? Ron/Luna I guess...or just Luna, cause Luna's awesome!
