What Millicent Bulstrode doesn't know about herself could fill a book...

A lighter than air confection of a one-shot where Draco Malfoy uses ginger, crystallized pineapple and a touch of lavendar to finally win an argument with a stubborn, curly-topped Gryffindor. DISCLAIMER: Characters are not mine but the property of J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros., etc.

Almost 1000 people and ONE castle? Not even the elves can handle THAT much trash... Welcome to my latest installment of alternate universe Harry Potter world-building! It's not strictly an essay but a outline of how Hogwarts' waste management facilities might work.

We can't all go to Hogwarts you know. Doesn't mean we want to end up making change on the Knight Bus.

You know what they say. Mama's baby, daddy's…well… So many fans love to see Martin as the littlest Holmes brother. But what if he wasn't? What if he WAS their brother, just not a Holmes? What do the brothers do? Welcome him into the family? Ignore him? Or worse? Once again it falls to Mycroft to make the hard decisions.

Taking the Dark Mark is not the only youthful indiscretion that comes back to haunt Severus. When an old personal debt comes due, Severus is forced to choose between saving himself or giving someone else a second chance at life.

In reward for his service, Snape receives from Voldemort a gift he’s desired seemingly forever. Rated T just to be safe.

Complete. The more powerful the wizard, the more potent his familiar, and the revered phoenix is the strongest of all. But nothing comes without a price. So what bargain did Dumbledore make to acquire Fawkes? And whose lives were trampled in the process?

Two years from now, Voldemort will force Severus Snape to exploit a student in the worst way. But what about her relationship with Severus made her the perfect target? COS era. Prequel to Well Done, My Good and Faithful Servant.

When it comes to Martin's life, some things are - or should be - so very, very simple...

At Hogwarts, Eileen's best subject was magical history. How could it not be? She dragged so much of it behind her before bequeathing it to her son. My interpretation of what lies behind Eileen's silence. A sequel to 10 Things You Never Knew About Severus Snape's Mum.

AKA Welcome to the Family Part 2.

Aberforth figures it's time to let Severus in on a thing or two…

Every Yule sees Severus once again attempting to dodge the faculty's annual shellfish massacre and other unspeakable holiday traditions…

Yes love, isn't it ironic? Your ghoulish successor has hoist me on my own petard…Dumbledore looks back with anger and regret.

Ripping the veil off the past gives Dean a disturbing look at his and son's – potential – future. Written for HP Diversity fest. Dean/OFC. Includes past Dean/Ginny.

So, greasy git am I? Let the mindless little rug rats laugh. Children are so shortsighted. Just like their parents. Only ever seeing what they want to see… Severus understands the tradition of the hair shirt. He just can't follow it.

Truly the title says it all. Rated T to be on the safe side. 09-30-14 Note: So sorry. I should have marked this complete ages ago. For a sequel, please see 10 More Things You Never Knew About Severus Snape's Mother, also complete.

There comes a time in everyone's life when they have to face the question of what's more important? Making the smart choice or your OWN choice? Lily's time is now and timing is everything…

Lily was one of the pretty people. And pretty is as pretty does, even in the wizarding world. That's all we ever need to know about anybody – isn't it? Rated: T for language, implied sexual situations.
