A series of oneshots hooked together in a loose sort of story to flesh out the life of Astoria Greengrass, from the impact of pure-blood propaganda, to the troubles of being not quite as Slytherin as she thought, to struggling to fit as a raven in a den of snakes, all with some...interesting results. (Drastoria)

"I think we should go to the Malfoy Christmas party every year." As she expected, Draco's body went taut underneath hers. His blue eyes sharpened, grew piercing as two jagged slivers of ice, and she ran a hand through his winter-wheat hair with a snicker at the expression on his face. If only to lighten the mood.

James Potter has been crazy over Lily Evans from day 1, and all the Marauders (as well as the rest of the school) know it. Also well-known is the fact that Lily wants nothing to do with "the arrogant prat with the bowling-ball head," so the Marauders take things into their own hands... Craziness ensues, and really, Sirius is behind it, so how could it not.
