Seven months after Ultimecia, Rinoa, Irvine, and Selphie become enmeshed in magical double-dealings in Deling City. Meanwhile Squall, Zell, and Quistis find themselves on a faintly ludicrous assignment for former headmaster Cid. As the questions pile up in both cases, the only answers seem to lie in old myths, children's stories, and their old enemy: Seifer Almasy.

But with the same old unpleasant people. Snapshot of the First War. Potters at home and about. Death Eaters on social calls. Marauders ruining your life. JP/LE, slight hints of unrequited SS/RAB.

Minific. How Hermione learned to compromise.

Minific. Harry Potter selects a biographer.

Minific. The most annoying and persistent suitor Hermione Granger ever had: the wizard of dreams.

But of course Binns doesn't teach this, because some details don't make it into public records, let alone history books.

Minific. Romance of the Auror and the Unlucky Woman.

Minific. George/Angelina. The marriage of a believer and one who lost faith.

Minific. What the old man with the twinkling eyes left behind.

Minific. On Tom's punishment.

Gather round and I will tell you of the fall of the house of Nott.

The tale of the luckiest young pureblood in the world, some time after our Lord defeated the blood traitors. Sequel to the Eleventh Birthdays, but can stand on its own.

Harry Potter has a lot to contend with in this supremely unheroic postwar world, so he can be forgiven for passing the Resurrection Stone off to Kreacher without a second thought. And anyway he might not have done it if he'd known the stone was meant to work on Inferi.

The rise of Severus Snape, who was born miserable and low and had nowhere to go, really, but up. One-sided Regulus/Snape, one-sided everyone/Lily, Lucius/Narcissa.
