Hopes, expectations, fears - so much can be conveyed in a name. When everyone knows what you're supposed to do, any break might be a welcome one. ``H/D one-shot.

An engagement party, thrown by one member of the trio for the two others - which one of them is slightly melancholy, which one has a few doubts?

Sliding in just before OotP, a possible look at who Arabella Figg, and who the Marauders really were. Arabella wants to turn a few commonly held misconceptions on their head, and she wants almost-seventeen-year-old Harry to know what she saw, heard, and experienced.

What happens to those that aren't brave Gryffindors, but don't follow Voldemort either? How does Harry's relationship with one of these so-called cowards impact his decisions regarding the war with Voldemort and the best approach to fight it? Harry/Draco slash, and a large healthy dose of some socio-political ramifications of Dumbledore leading the fight against Dark. Primarily a post-Hogwarts fic, with tension and a fair bit of angst. Ron, Hermione, Remus, Sirius, Snape, and Oliver Wood all play important roles for Harry & Draco as they navigate growing up and, hopefully, leaving the war behind.

The Head Girl and the Princess of Slytherin, different as night and day, brought together by circumstances beyond their control to forge an unlikely bond and an even more unlikely relationship. A relationship between Pansy & Hermione, concentrating primarily on Pansy's POV and experiences.

Over the summer after his fourth year, Harry comes to some startling conclusions and takes action. Now, Harry's a Slytherin prefect, suspicious of Dumbledore's ulterior motives, and building his own group to fight Voldemort on *his* terms. Fifth year AU.

A songfic, built around Five for Fighting's "It's Not Easy (Superman)" and set in the summer post-GoF. No, Harry's not being abused, and he's not in cupboard. He's just depressed, trapped in his own mind. And that can be the hardest place to be.

Draco muses angstily (if that's a word) on his life, particularly one Harry Potter, and how what he thought he knew keeps getting turned upside down by Potter time and again. And the Weasel has something to do with it?!? Draco's first person POV.

A follow-up piece to "Jealousy," also in Draco's first person POV. Set a year later, it tells about another Potions class that is first thing in the morning – and what led up to it.
