Years pass and bring changes, like water wearing down stone. Four pivotal characters and their stories.

A character... a pairing... a time... a place. All in thirty words or less. :Chapter fifteen - Ron/Hermionie.:

Percy has a plan and the mental file marked 'Operation: Surprise Hermione' to prove it. He's forgotten one very important fact, however: no plan survives contact with Hermione Weasley. [A oneshot romance for SocietyMember.]

Set in PoA. Harry tells Hedwig to stay at the Burrow during Aunt Marge's visit. Where does she actually go? Short oneshot.

/Nick would never quite forgive Peeves for this one./ Peeves sabotages the Sorting Ceremony of 1971, unintentionally bringing together four young minds which might otherwise have simply... passed each other by. Marauders fic!

For the Yin and Yang Challenge. "Nothing is a fixed state, my dear," he tells her weakly, when they realise that he will die before she does. "Not matter. Not life. Not you and I." Oneshot, Nicolas/Perenelle Flamel.

The long-distance diagram Lavender drew when she was sixteen was very different from the one she'd draw ten years on. Of course, it's different now that the one she's missing is a continent away, instead of just a few desks. [Parvati/Lavender femmeslash. Oneshot character/relationship sketch. Challenge response.]

Even when unwanted, feelings linger... A conversation held in silence through the years, for Cheeky Slytherin Lass.

Through the vast, sprawling corridors of the Ministry of Magic, two men who were previously too stupid to say "hello" to each other start to correspond. / Albus Severus/Scorpius slash, oneshot. For the Quidditch European Cup Competition.

Drabble. \ 'Lavender emerges from the covers with a /swish/, her hair in a state of passionate disarray she'd scream at.' Parvati/Lavender femmeslash, for tatiana13.

Drabble. \ 'He traces 'One year' in the sand. Another country, but not another life, not one where so many of their loved ones can travel here with them...' Harry and Ginny, one year after the Battle of Hogwarts. For tatiana13.

You see, Harry had come up with a "clever" plan to get the press off his back. Note the quotation marks, please. * Rita's well-plucked eyebrows shot up. "He mustn't be named?" - "Um, yes," said the man, blinking. "How did you know?"

'It is madness, says reason. It is what it is, says love.' - Eric Fried. :Daphne/Seamus in 50 sentences, for iMissHP and the 1sentence community at livejournal.:

'She is only sharp white bones.' - Cho/Cedric -

Just another Potions lesson for Professor Severus Snape.

But his smile is a little too strained, and who are they fooling with their laughter, anyway? - Neville/Harry drabble, post-war. For visions of a scarlet night.

It's been years, but Sirius will still sometimes catch sight of Remus and think about how much he used to want him. Memory's a funny thing... Post-Sirius/Remus drabble, for pippi55.

/For Scarlet Sparkle./ Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: "Her skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever," said the bloody message on the wall. - A few hours later: "Ginny! You're safe!"

Beauty is a powerful thing. But then, so's ugliness. - Astoria/Draco/Gabrielle, oneshot.

Never start with a metaphor, Scorpius. - Scorpius/Dominique drabble, for Princess Pearl.
