Hermione has come up with the perfect plan for Professor Slughorn's Christmas Party. Of course, it involves Harry, and of course, things do not go as planned.

A familiar song echoed through the realm, sung a generation earlier.

Harry returned to Hogwarts after the War, but not everything has changed for the better. Crack, poking fun at pureblood culture.

As Captain of the Quidditch team, it fell to Harry to forge 7 players into one finely-tuned unit. Unfortunately, most of the team did not turn up.

A third of a year - nearly 4 months - 17 weeks - 118 days - 2832 hours - and although she had not counted the minutes, Katie had felt every one of them in her little room at St Mungo's.

No one ever accused Andromeda of being sane.

Harry and Tonks talk while they walk to the Gates of Hogwarts. Start of a romance if you really squint at it.

Unable to clear his name, Sirius asked his cousin Andromeda to take care of Harry. This turns out to be the best decision Sirius ever made. Eventual Harry/Lisa Turpin.

It was not a smart idea, nor a good one. In fact, as far as ideas went, it was outright insane. But for once Harry didn't care, her embrace was addictive and he needed to feel her arms around him once more. She had awoken something inside of him, a longing he could not have comprehended before.

A balcony under the stars, the big ball everyone wanted to attend, a marble balustrade in front of a magical forest, the moon shining brightly - Harry realised that it sounded straight from a fairytale. At least there were no carriages which would turn into a pumpkin at midnight.

Like the apple tree in front of him, Harry's life had grown in unexpected directions, yet it bore the sweetest fruits.

Looking back, Harry had to admit that he might have missed a cue or ten. But to be fair, some of them might have been a little unusual.

The DA had been caught, Dumbledore driven from Hogwarts and Headmistress Umbridge rules the castle with an iron fist. Susan begged her aunt for help but did not get the answer she was hoping for. Which is why she came up with her own form of resistance.

Hermione Granger is pregnant. Trouble is, she has not slept with a man during the past decade. Which is why the whole pregnancy business is rather unexpected, and the reason she sought out Harry and Ginny for advice. Postwar, EWE? Cracky.

Harry Potter has disappeared and the Order of the Phoenix is just one of many groups desperately searching for him. Being its newest member, Nymphadora Tonks got the worst assignment, or at least that's what Dumbledore told her in a sad tone. However, the place might have changed a little since his last visit in 1897.

When Harry invited Tonks to Slughorn's Christmas Party, he never expected to stumble into a web of deceit and intrigues woven across Europe.

Ron tries to tell his children the simple story of how he met their mother. They demand more details and get more than they had bargained for. DH divergence, no canon pairings besides Harry/Ginny.

Harry and Hermione realise that they might be the worst Friends with Benefits in the history of that arrangement.

When her father wanted to sell Pansy off like cattle, she decided to take matters in her own hands. With unexpected results. A second Chapter will be added eventually.

If anybody would have told Hermione a week ago that she'd find herself enamoured after a shared kebab, she would have pointed the person towards St. Mungos' ward for permanent spell damage.
