Druella was going to spend the rest of her life wondering what could have happened if they'd been together. She didn't get a choice in her life, and in the end, neither did Fabian. They spent their last few nights in each other's arms with Fabian desperately searching for a way out of the deal, but he just couldn't... *Entry to Ralinde's Weird Random Pairings Competition on HPFC*

"My help? What could you possibly need my help for?" she inquired, a disbelieving look on her face. He pulled his sleeve up, revealing the smouldering blemish on his forearm. She gasped softly, her hands covering her mouth but she didn't look at him in disgust. "I want to join the Order." *Entry for Greek Mythology (Hyperion) and School Subjects Competitions (Herbology) on HPFC*

It had been two years since their first kiss in the park. It had been perfect. They'd only been going out for lunch, but somehow they had ended up in the park's fountain, soaked to the skin, when he'd grabbed her and pressed his lips fiercely to hers. She could still remember the heat of his body against hers, the warmth and safety of his strong arms as she kissed him back... EWE.

It had taken a while. And by that, I mean a very long while. But, it had happened, Draco and Hermione were now friends, more than friends. They no longer argued, hexed or, in Hermione's case, slapped, each other. For over six months. They still bickered every so often, as was natural, but it never escalated.

"What the bloody hell are you thinking, Ginny?" Ron yelled. "You're being stupid!" Ginny's anger flared. She was not. "Look. I knew you weren't going to accept it…" "Damn straight!" "But I can date whoever I please, and I want to date Theodore." "How dare you turn down that- wait…," Ron trailed off, his eyes widened, his face turning purple. "YOU'RE DATING WHO?" he roared.

Draco accompanies Pansy to tell her parents that they won't be marrying. She declines all their other suggestions and comes up with one of her own, and there's the small problem of the Unbreakable Vow she made when she was five... (RW/PP, HG/DM, HP/GW)

Ron looked at Hermione and squirmed under her glare, laughing uneasily. "Well... you see..." he mumbled, not meeting her eyes. "Malfoy challenged him to game of chess," Dean said, ignoring Ron's panicked look and desperate plea to shut up. "If Ron wins, he'll get a hundred galleons, but if Malfoy wins you have to go on a date with the ferret."

"Listen, 'Mione, about before..." "No, Fred, I don't want to talk about it." "You didn't feel it then... the sparks..." Hermione turned her eyes to his. "I did feel them," she said, quietly. "But I've decided to give Ron another chance." "No. You are not giving my rat of a brother any more chances. He doesn't deserve you; you're way out of his league."

"Her thoughts drifted off as she felt a pair of soft lips touch her own. Her eyes fluttered closed as she moved her lips against his, her body collapsing against his and her arms going around his neck. She had to be dreaming. But it felt too real, too vivid... too perfect for it to be not." Fred persuades Hermione to sneak out for a muggle party with him.

Lily's cheeks were cherry red. She was caught between apprehension and anticipation, nervously waiting for him to notice her. When he did, his jaw went slack as he stared at the red haired girl who'd forever turned him down...

It appeared Draco hadn't been so meticulous in his curtain drawing and there was a gap a couple of inches wide. Blaise looked through it from where he sat in his bed, expecting to see the typical pale hair, but instead all he could see of life in the cocoon was an unmistakable head of bushy caramel hair... *Entry for School Subjects and Honeydukes Competitions on HPFC*

Ginny Weasley never thought she'd see the morning when she visited Hermione and found her in bed with Draco Malfoy. She was frozen for a moment, staring at the couple and wondering how drunk they both must have been last night. *Entry for Laux14's Greek Mythology Competition on HPFC*

"You're cold," James stated and before she could object, he'd slipped his cloak off his shoulders and wrapped it around her petite form. Lily sighed gratefully, holding it tighter and gave him a small smile, which caused his eyes to light up. "Can I have the mittens too?" she asked jokingly.

"Muggles eat dinosaurs?" Luna asked, horrified. "I thought they were extinct, where do they get the meat from?" Dudley took in her mortified expression and roared with laughter. Luna gazed at him, bewildered. "Luna, my sweet Luna, they aren't made of dinosaurs. They're normally made out of turkey and shaped into little dinosaurs, it's for children." Dudley and Luna's first date.

"Seamus laughed and Pansy, if she'd had less control, would have swooned at the sound. It was truly a gorgeous noise - soft, but deep and oddly captivating. She would admit that, he did have a nice laugh." Pansy and Seamus are paired in Potions, and everybody knows Potions plus Seamus never turns out well...

When Ron goes to visit George about new Weasley Wizard Wheezes products, he is surprised to find clothes strewn all over the floor in a distinct line to the bedroom...

When Hermione punched Draco in third year, Draco ran off. This is what happened if he'd stood up to her, of course, he didn't plan on standing up to her ending the way it did...

They stared at each other, lust in their eyes and Hermione giggled softly once she'd gotten her breath back. "You taste of After Eights." Draco's gaze became incredulous. "I taste of what?" "After Eights," Hermione repeated. "You've never heard of them?" "Of course not, they sound ridiculous." He said, rolling his eyes. Draco helps a crying Hermione on the night of the Yule Ball.

Pansy's been in love with Harry since Hogwarts. He doesn't know this, he's engaged to Ginny Weasely. But apparently Ginny doesn't want to marry Harry and takes advantage of a drunken Theo Nott, what does Pansy have to say about that? HP/PP, DM/HG, BZ/LL.

Set ten years after Hogwarts, Harry and Pansy meet in a rural coffee shop. "Potter?" She said, curiously. "Parkinson, long time, no see." "Graduation, wasn't it?" "It's good to see you're still beautiful." Pansy's face cracked into a smile.
