It's when she starts calling Draco "Father" and Pansy "Mother", that the two Slytherins decide to put together a plan to find an antidote, quick. But a visit to Hog's Head finds them under the eye of Percy Weasley. When Percy's pompousness and Draco's sarcasm mix and spoil the antidote, they find themselves in a deeper problem than before.

Draco has finally reached Seventh Year at Hogwarts, having survived the war (yes, he was on the good side!) and six very long years of suffering the Golden Trio. But he's up against his greatest challenge yet in Future Parents Program--his burgeoning feelings for a certain formally buck-toothed hairball, and worse, his mother's plots (erm, plans) for grandchildren!

He is no longer the same boy he was. For one thing, he now knows who his father was and must learn who he really is. And he gets help from the most unexpected of people. ``I would seriously recommend reading Heir of Voldemort before reading this, though, simply because so much happened in that story and if you don't know, this one will make no sense whatsoever - just a suggestion though :))

It is this class that serves as a catalyst for the unthinkable. Is it possible for a person to love someone whom he or she used to hate? To Draco and Hermione, this is illogical and impossible, and they would have it no other way! However, as they find out, love is anything but predictable, and far from logical. Witness the effects of Orwellian trinkets, carnivorous mushrooms, giant squids, and that little thing called Slytherin pride ...

It possessed a magic that could bring about what its owner most desired. The wishing stone was a gift and a curse, a double-edged sword that brings about dreams and molds them into reality.

Yet, after all this time, the passion is still there, perhaps had never left; and so after an unexpected reunion, both Draco and Ginny must cope with the past as well as the present while they carry on a full-fledged affair.

And it’s likely``that your fantasies of Potter are shot since he’s too noble to gallivant around with someone else’s wife. And you owe me money. And we’re in substandard lodging where someone was most likely murdered in the last twelve hours, although the killing curse wasn’t tossed by you which is a refreshing change. What was my point again?" smirked Draco.

Fred and Angelina have kissed and make up. But after a few days, Angelina starts to act strange and nobody knows what's going on... even Fred. What they both don't know is that they are about to deal with the unexpected...

It's time for the students of Hogwarts to set aside house differences in favor of fighting the true battle - Boys VS Girls!

Just a game? Since when was this all just a game? Draco Malfoy does not play games. Games are for Gryffindors and other subhuman life-forms. The people genuinely worth having in your address book take everything as life and death. Chess, cards, Quidditch, and love. So why doesn't love have rules? If Potter could move on those squares only, and Draco could avoid being taken in with a little bit of strategic playing, things would be so much easier...

When Ginny Weasley miscasts a spell, she accidently turns Draco Malfoy into a baby. Since the mistake was hers, Dumbledore and the professors all agree that she should take care of him. There's also the tiny little fact that he screams if he's taken away from her. And he insists on calling her 'Din-din'. Ginny's head is beginning to throb...

The story begins when Dumpty loses his pair of sandals. What does Voldie has to do with it, and how is he going to take over the world? Insane plot and lots of slash pairings. This is a parody, of course.

"He wasn't quite sure how it had happened. One minute he'd been leisurely walking the length of the pitch, broom in hand, and the next he'd found himself backed into the wooden building by a stamping, snorting, hairy... thing. It was heavy. And smelled a bit like wet socks and cabbage. And was currently leaning into his stomach, slowly pressing the breath out of him." A D/G Christmas adventure featuring a smitten reindeer, nefarious Christmas elves, a dastardly kidnapping, 'Father Christmas' Atlas to Christmas Town,' the misuse of Christmas powder, a daring rescue, a hungry Yeti, and the appropriate use of mistletoe.

Insecure! and Bitchy! Pansy. Playful! and Angry! Harry. When you find someone has been watching you from on top of a wall, what do you do? What do you say? Emotions is a fun game to play.

During their seventh year at Hogwarts, Hermione's faith in Draco is relentless even after he has joined Voldemort's side. The light side is rapidly losing hope after last year's student massacre. Now that Harry is afraid, who will save them from evil?

What starts as a harmless dare leads Harry into a place even more frightening than the Forbidden Forest: Draco Malfoy's heart. Seeing himself reflected in some of Draco's most private thoughts sets Harry up for a host of new experiences, the least of which are some very private moments with his so-called enemy.

What happens when they leave the country, and Lucius finds out where they are?

When Draco Malfoy becomes the new hero Harry gets jealous. A friendship is force upon them from Dumbledore, but does it become more than that?

“There was no snide quip, though. No deliberately cutting comment. Ginny stared and then a second later the grey eyes rolled dramatically and turned away from her towards the tasteless curtains.” Post-war fic. Ginny was just plodding along, enduring her perfectly well-ordered normal life and dreaming that maybe something more interesting might come along.

Dr Walker, intrepid psychologist to the Magical World, has returned, but she's not happy. Neither are her patients, as the summer of 1996 passes over Hogsmeade, and the emotional lives of several people...er...beings begin to show the stresses of the events of Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts. Happily, the good doc's quirky fortunes have not changed over the years, so beware of drunken elves, cursing Malfoys, dentists, and a mooning werewolf.
