    When Potter dies, they keep Weasley in the dungeon of the Manor. You find yourself watching him. He never does lose hope. /AU fic, RonHermione, RonDraco, violence, torture, character death and a ridiculous lack of fluff. Apologies./ First Place in Rhythmic Gymnastics, Hogwarts Games!

  • Six Times

    Six times in which Luna is perfect and Bill is a blushing, bumbling fool who should know better than to love her. Canon compliant, BillFleur, one-sided BillLuna.

  • The Evolution of Harry James Potter

    "He's mad. He can't be hearing his parents. They're dead. But he sees now that maybe going insane isn't as bad as they make it out to be.

  • Your Eyes, They Kill The Music

    They made her play the piano. They stood behind her and watched for every misplaced finger and every wrong note. They killed the music. /First Place in Hurdles, Hogwarts Games!/

  • Snake Among the Badgers

    For so many years, you just sit in their shadows and you smile. You never did like people watching you. Except for him.
