One responsible adult realises the inevitable (much earlier than he would have under a different author!) and decides to do something about it.

**Summary**: Someone plays a prank *on top of* Moody turning Draco into a ferret, which has unforeseen consequences.

No summary, except a sheepish, "Sorry, couldn't resist!" Oh, and also, "Sorry it's so short!"

One responsible adult remembers in time that he has not taken his potion... (Rated M for language and viciousness.)

Quite by chance, Harry finds a spell that is supposed to do his homework, but of course he can't tell anyone, not even his best friend. But is that all this spell does? Rated M for language and DE viciousness.

One responsible adult finds his sister's possession of a diary that writes back, to be odd. With the help of his mentor (an elderly American wizard called Henry Walton, who was only 17 years younger than Dumbledore), he unravels enough of the mystery to get his employers interested. (Rated M for... well you'll see)

One responsible - and ruthless - adult does not like mysteries in his own field of expertise, specifically the one left unsolved at the end of a near-fatal Quidditch match. And when he eventually finds the answer, it makes him even more angry, and he brings in an even more ruthless - and greedy - group in on the game.

One responsible adult does not like what is happening after Harry's 4th year. Though still on the run from the law, he figures out a way to help Harry, and more.

One responsible adult does not like Dumbledore's glib explanation for how a troll got in. She lets it go, but reacts when the next incident happens.

Any summary I can write would give it away. Heck this isn't even about knives, so even the tile is misleading :-)

The binding contracts between the goblet and each champion are not the only ones in play.

Hermione tricks Percy into exposing Umbridge's blood quill detentions. The fallout from that takes some interesting turns.

(alt title: Disproportionate response). Give the death-eaters a second chance? No way, not even a *first* chance! This is a "redo" fic with a twist. The pairing will eventually be Harmony but a good part of the story happens when they are too young so hard-core Harmonians need to be patient. Rated M for possible violence in later chapters.

This fic was "inspired" by reading a completely pointless fic where Remus and Sirius read the epilogue, and basically just smile and grin to themselves, happy that Harry is alive and well and all that. They don't actually **do** anything. As I said, pointless. So I decided to xkcd 386 that one-shot ;-)

Eyes can speak too... especially when their owner suddenly realises he will die in a few seconds!

My "Harmonious" take on the classic James Thurber short story. Contains multiple pop culture references but also reflects my age (well past 50) I suppose.
