Harry Potter wakes up...in the Slytherin dormitory. Why?

Life is terrible. You fight against the most powerful Wizard of this century while you're only fifteen. But not only that! Recently your enemy melded with a Japanese demon, turning into a monster who shares the memories and the magical skill of both. He doesn't want any more to kill you --

When the least likely of students approaches Hermione with a plea for her help, she can't resist. Nor can she resist the opportunity it presents to change the course of one young wizard's life.

You know when you watch the Harry Potter movies and there are some parts you just HAVE to laugh hysterically at? Well, if you do, are they Ron's quotes? If you have answered yes, to both of these questions, then you should read this fic because it explores 'all those weird Ron quotes,' and DO they have a basis in reality - or at least dream reality.

Two unexpected allies join Harry, Ron, and Hermione in their quest for the Horcruxes. This fiction describes preparation for the search rather than the search itself, and the emphasis is on bonding among the characters--particularly Harry, Remus, and Sirius. Questions are answered, secrets revealed, and plans made. Ties of friendship are explored more closely than romantic ones, but the assumed romantic pairings are Remus/Sirius, Ron/Hermione, and Harry/Ginny. Action begins on August 1st of what will be Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts, and continues over the next few days.

One night, staying in the Grimmauld Place, number twelve, Severus Snape witnesses something about the Black-Lupin marriage he doesn’t want to believe true.

Harry Potter has never once asked why he so often ends up fighting alone at the end. Not when he went to save Ginny Weasley from the Chamber of Secrets. Not when his name came out of the Goblet of Fire. Not even when he learned about the prophecy. He has never pitied himself for his situation or wished for relief from his responsibility, but for his friends he would ask that someone else take his place. Someone strong. Someone brave. Someone who knew what they were doing. He never expected someone to actually make it happen. But someone did; they sent him to a world where he grew up with his mother's best friend, and Neville Longbottom was marked. Set in the Prelude to Destiny/Backfire Universe.

Dumbledore is dead, and Hermione has stayed at Hogwarts to research spells that will help the Trio in their quest for the Horcruxes. There, she has a most unlikely visitor, who informs her that there is a more important task, even more important than defeating the Dark Lord, awaiting a person brave enough enough to undertake it.

When Remus Lupin left Hogwarts at the end of The Prisoner of Azkaban, he left behind more than just a job. Anna Vector has always loved her job teaching Arithmancy but this year, the year the Tri-Wizard Tournament returns to Hogwarts, is different. Responsibility, love, a big black dog, a vengeful Death Eater and the Ministry of Magic are distractions during this pivotal time in the battles between good and evil, desire and duty, and people and politics. A sequel to By the Numbers.

It also supports his loyalty to Dumbledore, and reveals a legacy left by Dumbledore for Snape. This story has fairly dark overtones, and is a character-driven angst drama.

The subject of Muggle Studies has been inadequate, to say the least. The need for new curriculum means someone must spy out the Muggle world for information. Guess who gets to do the honors? How can the great greasy bat from the dungeons be the best person to fix it? And who will he be forced to work with to get it done? Beta'd by Somgliana.

New people arrive to school and change Harry's life so much, he could have never imagined it. He also makes many revelations, and great descisions. Everything is different by the end of the year. Better or worse? You decide. This is my version of Harry's fifth year and it's a whirlwind.

Because when Ginny went to the Halloween Ball in her sixth year, she expected to find another person entirely. And when Draco took the girl to the Greenhouses, he did not intend to spend the night walking the halls afterwards. A take-off of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, told in three acts.

[SLASH-DMHP-oneshot] "You hate him. And he hates you back, but hate isn't the right word for it. Not a strong enough word for it. It's so much more than that. (So much deeper.) And you realize why you did it. Why you yelled and screamed and shouted. You care."

Tonks was injured in the battle of the Department of Mysteries. She leaves St. Mungo's feeling rather strange. Not, because of her illness, but because of one R J Lupin, who wants to carry her bag and says her mother is a 'nice lady'...whatever next?

Hermione goes shopping and gets more than she bargained for. A twisted tale of revenge. Rated R for sexual theme and content.

Definition of 'hag': an ugly, old woman who smells horrible and has warts all over the place. A hag is also what Hermione Granger calls her younger (and previously unknown) sister. Of course, Helen prefers the nickname Helen of Troy. Much more suitable for her (so-called) exotic aura and beauty. Of course, Hermione would just say 'hag' fits better. Sisters are sisters.

Childhood memories, visits from Order members, and thoughts on Harry, Prongs, Snivelly, Nym, Moony, Reggie, Mother, Kreacher, Buckbeak, Dumbledore, Bella, Andromeda, and more.

While sitting by the fireplace one late July evening, Ginny hatches The Plan.

Tragedy prompts Hermione to make a breakthrough discovery, and Severus Snape grudgingly agrees to assist her. Things do not progress smoothly, but sometimes, it is merely a matter of seeing things in a different light...

After swearing I was done tinkering with the first entry in the series, the Muse struck me. Essentially the same story, but with a more solid introduction to the new characters. Names changed to protect the innocent. Less canon text. More Snape!

*Complete* Miriam Strout is an accomplished Healer - whether she wants to be or not - with good friends - generally, anyway - and a passable social life - well... So, when her ex-husband escapes from Azkaban prison, it understandably throws a wrench in her plans. Takes place in PoA, Sirius/OFC. Funny, quick, interesting, and something that fell into place very nicely without any central planning.

It is the start of sixth year at Hogwarts and Hermione has finally become Ron Weasley's girlfriend, but nobody knows that Hermione is seeing someone else (at the same time). Several scenes and encounters with HP/GW.
