Gilderoy Lockhart is organising Hogwarts Quiz Night. If they're lucky, everyone will survive the night.

Of magic, witches and whisky, and why there are no female Dark Lords (that you know of, anyway). "You know what they say, women only get more dangerous as they get older." "That's not a saying," Augusta said. "Then it is one now."

Professors Snape and Granger are sent on a mission to improve Hogwarts' relations with Durmstrang. Unfortunately, nobody told their notoriously touchy hosts they are not a couple. Severus isn't too keen on finding out what Minerva would do if he wrecks her pet project. He would very much like to know why Viktor Krum is skulking in the corridors, though...

""Why would you offer me a lift?" The obvious explanation was unlikely, she told herself. Malfoy wasn't stupid, as such – people would notice if he was the last person seen with her before she was pushed into the Irish Sea." Hermione has a problem. Draco offers a solution. Simple, right?

Regret buys no second chances. On a rainy Halloween night, the headmaster of Hogwarts counts the price of glory.

It's not easy, being on the outside when everyone else has a family of their own. Harry Potter knows that only too well.

"I shall not participate in any Christmas celebrations this year whatsoever. I refuse to spend one more evening surrounded by tinsel, tasteless ornaments or meaningless expressions of goodwill. From now on, I intend to observe pagan holidays – you and the students can have Christmas, Easter and the rest of it to yourselves." Severus opts out of Christmas. It does not go as planned.

After the war, the battle for the Ministry's soul is fought over at interminable committee meetings. A reformed Draco is there with a Muggle pen in his hand, fighting very hard to stay awake. When he notices that Hermione Granger actually has a sense of humour, it gets a lot more interesting...

Hermione is plagued by love letters. Unfortunately, they're not for her. Even more unfortunate, Severus claims he has no idea who they are from or what's in them.

Harry Potter died fourteen long years ago, but the Order is still fighting. Beware: werewolves are howling outside the camp, and there is a stranger at the fire. Voldemort Wins A/U

Draco looked again, just to be sure, but there was no mistaking that high-pitched voice and the remnants of bushy hair. Somewhere, someone was laughing their arse off. Fate, perhaps. Or some Ministry parchment-pusher overcome with mirth at the prospect of Draco Malfoy spending the rest of his life in a cell next to Hermione Granger.

Draco just wants to make Hermione happy. Unfortunately, telling her he is a Veela and she is his mate would achieve exactly the opposite, so he has to find another way. Nothing else in Draco's life has gone according to plan, so he ought to have known it would only go downhill from there...

It's no secret that magical libraries can be strange, even dangerous places. When the Hogwarts library starts behaving even more oddly than usual, Hermione Granger, curse breaker and book aficionado extraordinaire, is just the woman for the job. But why does she keep running into Snape at every turn?

Every student knows that Hogwarts has a mind of its own. They probably wouldn't sleep at night if they knew what the castle really wants… When a number of students disappear without a trace, Minerva realises how little she knows about what goes on at Hogwarts. Sentient!Hogwarts

No one opposed Marriage Law Number 57. In retrospect, that ought to have made the Ministry very suspicious... In which the marriage law wreaks havoc in the Wizarding world, only perhaps not in the way one would have expected.

Draco is gone and a stranger has taken his place, speaking with his voice and pretending nothing has changed. Hermione will do anything to find him and bring him back to her, no matter what Lucius Malfoy is willing to do to prevent her from marrying his son.

For a well-bred British wizard, a Grand Tour is essential to complete one's education. Severus has been entrusted with the unenviable task of ensuring Draco Malfoy completes his travels unscathed. When they encounter the lovely Lady Heloïse and her unremarkable companion in Venice, the undertaking becomes almost impossible. Regency A/U, SSHG

There is a thin line between order and chaos, the ordinary lives most of us lead and the dark forces that want to destroy them. The Aurors will defend Muggles and wizards alike, to the best of their ability - the only problem is that they're ordinary people, with weak spots and pets and families waiting at home. How can they win against someone like Bellatrix Lestrange?

Some things remain the same, even with Hogwarts beneath the thumb of the Dark Lord. Severus celebrates the annual staff Christmas party his own way.
