Year 2 of Sev and the Marauders. Dumbledore finds a nasty ring, and Tiberius Prince fixes things ... his way. The Marauders are still searching for horcruxes, and Voldemort gets knacky that Tiberius Prince won't be his best minion. Lucius Malfoy continues to learn life lessons, and with Tiberius as headmaster, some changes are instituted. There are, of course, pranks.
In which Harry is contemplating killing himself before the Triwizard tournament can do so, and goes to ask Professor Moody's advice ... as soon as Barty Crouch leaves his office. Suicide issues.
another exploration of what happens if Harry gets a bit smarter about the Triwizard when he realises that hostages are going to be taken and fears it is going to be Hermione. Nobody can get at a potential hostage if she's hidden in the Chamber of Secrets, Oh, and there's a lot of potion ingredients to negotiate with Snape. Well-meaning manipulative! Dumbledore. Ron improves.
In which a smart!Vernon figures out that he and Petunia are being manipulated to resent Harry, and decide to do all they can to teach him everything they can about the wizarding world. Petunia enlists Lily's old friend, Severus Snape, and when the Marauders come on board they love the biggest prank on Dumbledore ever.
remembering that the milkman gets to the doorstep at about 4 am, is any decent man going to just leave a baby on a doorstep? Another reason why wizards might do better to study muggles more closely rather than just despising them.
this was written in response to a request of what might happen if Severus had not suffered the worst of the bullying at the hands of the Marauders. Instead, his mother takes him to America to go to school, but he remains in contact with Lily by letter, and when she is in trouble, he returns with a new identity, and brings what he has learned to her aid.
Set at the beginning of the Triwizard tournament, when Harry is so angry, he has decided that the consequence of losing his magic matters less than losing his life. However, he has a thing or two to say about the Wizarding World first. Oh, and it's a Harry/Hermione shipping
Inspired by the video of 'dreaming wide awake' by Poets of the Fall, a group who deserve far more recognition. Locking up the sun could be about Harry, Diamonds for tears, Remus ... this is a sad story so don't read if you don't like them. What could happen if Severus could dream Lily wide awake and make a pact with fate.
because the horcrux in Harry's head wasn't dealt with when he was a child, and was killed by a rather brute force method after much trauma, Harry Potter is an adult who will not live to see his 30th birthday. Reviewing all the stupid mistakes made by the adults around him, he returns in time to sort out his younger self's life, by setting in train a number of actions.
Vernon's reaction to having Harry dumped on the doorstep by *their kind* is predictable, and Petunia has a small epiphany over what might happen if Dudley develops magic when he is older the way Lily did. Suddenly her love for her sister is more important than her jealousy, and she takes steps to save Harry and Dudley by contacting the only person she knows in the wizarding world.
set following the pensieve incident during occlumensy, Harry has a sudden fit of the smarts and works to enlist more active aid from Snape. Unkind to Dumbledore and some Weasleys. Umbitch gets hers. Hermione has to think, and wises up. A peek at what might happen if the occasional use of logic and intellect was applied instead of hokey reasoning and blind belief in prophecy.
a short whimsy, touching on the many universes of Harry Potter. Light! Lucius. In which Hermione Granger has come from a universe in which all things went pear shaped, and is travelling the multipotterverse to put things right where she can. Sometimes even a know-it-all can long for stability.
When Vernon Dursley goes further than usual, a scandal arises in Privet Drive. However, the walrus didn't manage to complete the job. Severus Snape, chosen by Dumbldore as a replacement abuser, has a small epiphany and sets out to do some manipulation of his own. Rated for the early abuse.
NOT in the Kraitverse. A novella exploring what could happen if Narcissa Malfoy encountered Vernon Dursley and decided that the best way to protect Draco was to control the Potter boy.
set in the kraitverse, a short story from the casebook of Harry and Draco, written as a tribute to Dragnet. Coinage is being debased by the circulation of forged galleons!
With the tensions of exams and the machinations of the Necromancer and followers, the run-up to the final part of the Triwizard is never going to be quiet and peaceful. But then, what Marauder likes it quiet and peaceful? Don't blame me for the Triwizard result, I'd been worrying over it and then I had a dream about it.
The second task of the Triwizard is imminent, but it is not the foremost thing in the lives of some of the students. Danger from a selection of supremacists of more or less efficiency still abound, and Aglaia Hallow has some hard choices to make. Meanwhile the Musical Marauders plot to get Agata Bacso sorted out romantically.
The first task of the Triwizard is over, and the contestants are back in school to settle down as normal. Or as normal as things ever are. Merry Christmas to all my followers and fans, hope you enjoy.
the years have turned to be another Triwizard competition, this time with the Russian School for Pure Blood witches and wizards competing. Lilith plans to enter at a ridiculously young age, and the Russians have a surprising champion. This one is going to cover all the schools simultaneously over 4 parts for the sake of my sanity. Thanks for waiting!
The 1st pupils to gain qualifications are now prefects & must deal with new pupils looking for 6th form education that does not involve Durmstrang; the spite of a lower school pupil; and another layer of incipient Marauders as well as the arrival of a relative of one of the orphans. Head girl Biirta has her own problems to handle in the form of her young brother and her love life
