    I think the author's account has been removed. I couldn't find it either.

    I'm reading the story now; I found it in a RAR file I downloaded. Let me know if you want it; it might take me a day or two, but I can send it.

    How long is it, and is it any good? Does Harry sound like a pussy in it like he did in the books?

    Richard.

    was this story previously titled "forbidden" ?
    featured angsting DADA professor Harry getting involved with slytherin head girl.
    story was deleted from fanfiction.net awhile ago, was just wondering if it was the same story renamed.

    This story is complete, and as far as I can tell the only available copy is in the DLP Archives.

    Here's the set-up: Harry has defeated Voldemort and is now 20 years old. He returns to Hogwarts to teach DADA, and is immediately smitten with a new transfer student from America. She's a shy 7th-year who's placed, of course, in Slytherin.

    What is the young Miss Adhara Grey like? Here's one of her first conversations with Harry:


    And yeah, she continues that adorable stuttering for almost the entire story. Harry becomes enchanted with her right away, and she thinks he's just duh-reamy:


    But there's trouble in paradise. Adhara begins dating a Slytherin by the name of Kieran, who is related to Draco and hates Harry. The adorably shy but stunningly beautiful Adhara, who is in no-way an author-insert, seeks the help of her more 'experienced' roommates when it comes to love:

    Isn't that just precious? Adhara's such a sweetheart!

    But don't fear, dear reader; there's more to the lovely Adhara than meets the eye. It turns out there's a reason for her stutter, and for her cozying up to Kieran. I won't spoil anything for you, but there's a nefarious plot afoot (*cough* Draco *cough*), and it's up to the fearless Adhara to stop it!

    And ZOMG, you'll never guess who her real father is! Major dramaz! :awesome

    All told, this was an enthralling story that Twilight fangirls everywhere are sure to love.

    I give it a Stephenie Meyer out of 5.

    Could be worse... Ever notice how many OCs in Harry Potter fanfic have the same name as the author's username?

    Yeeaaahh... try telling me again that your character isn't a self-insert/author avatar.

    Those amazing Mary-Sue eyes, that lustrous Mary-Sue hair, what unique and Mary-Sue-ish color are they?

    I'll tell you: Transparent. Completely transparent, just like the author's motives. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why so many OCs end up falling into the arms of both Harry and Draco (and Snape, and Lucius, AND Voldemort?!?). :eek:

    Because it was posted before the library in its current form even existed.

    Yup, as Oz said, this one hasn't been up for review since 2005. But in case it wasn't clear from my review, this is easily one of the worst stories on the neglected list. It doesn't have a single redeeming quality.

    Deletion would be a very good thing.
