The hand didn't let go but I gradually became aware that the ceiling was moving.
How odd.
I'd never heard of that before.
Stairways, yes, but not the ceilings.
But then I didn't usually look at the ceilings.
That would change now!
From this moment forward, I will always look up to the ceilings. They would be sacred. ...James is stuck to Lily. Literally...
WARNING: OC Abundance.
No one expected the end of October in 1981 to be any calmer than the rest of the year had been. Just, no one had expected James and Lily to die either, so who knows.
Somehow, two pranksters' actions can cause the ties of friendship to loosen, and the love of a certain female to change from a good friend to an arrogant toerag.
What if…
What if Regulus Black managed to make it out of the Horcrux cave alive with the locket? And if, after recovering from the potion, he had gone to his brother for shelter from Voldemort’s wrath? What might have turned out differently? My take on a possible Alternate Universe. Will eventually be novel-length.
Note: though canon indicates that Regulus’ visit to the cave most likely occurred early in 1979, I’ve decided for various niggling reasons to push it back to early November, 1978, Regulus’ last year at Hogwarts.
The summer before her seventh year leaves Lily's life in tatters, and it doesn't get any better once she's back at Hogwarts. So the last thing she needs is a more than tolerable head boy.
James and Sirius have been working really hard in the classes all day long, and they're so thirsty. It just so happens that James has some "butterbeer" in his bag. Will McGonagall give them a drink break?
Sixth Year, they've become Animagi. They are the most well known trouble makers that Hogwarts has seen. What to do this year?

THE MARAUDER'S MAP.
What a brillant idea!
James Potter is stumped. How can he get the girl of his dreams to go out with him if she refuses to listen? He'll just have to come up with some catchy way to MAKE her listen. . . Based on the lyrics of "Oh! Darling" by the Beatles; and written for the Five-Witch Tournament between myself, lupa_mannera, DarkFaerii, secret_witch, and akeyana on HarryPotterFanfiction.Com.
“Friendship; treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories.”
While dark forces are gaining strength on the outside world, inside Hogwarts the students are dealing with their own struggles; pining after girls, studying for O.W.L.’s, rebellion, marauding, and mischief. Friendship will be tested, strengthened, and lost. Paths will be chosen, and principles defined. Sirius Black and James Potter are entering their fifth year and it is sure to be an eventful one.
Hannah enters Hogwarts two years late and has to learn seven years' worth of work in five years. Lily Evans makes friends with Hannah, and tries (unsuccessfully) to convince herself she hates James Potter. Remus' 'secret' is almost revealed to the whole school. All in all an average time at Hogwarts.
The Marauders and their female counterparts each host games that result in a change of events in the Lily/James pursual. Laughs, chaos, and embarassment are sure to follow! Please Read and Review!
Could one lost love really have been the only thing that turned Severus into the angry, cruel, and sneering Potions Master that Harry met his first year? Starting in 1970 and continuing through the 80s, this story paints the lovely and often harrowing picture of Severus' life before he met Harry Potter. You’ll meet Severus’s most loyal companion, Marcella Lynch, from the beautiful beginning of their relationship first year, to the tragic end well after the wizarding world thought they were rid of the Dark Lord forever. This story is not an AU; it will work out to fit canon.
“When I look at you, or hear your voice or name, or even think about you, everything spins and it’s like my whole world has been turned upside down." Written for The "Inspiration of a Title" Challenge at the HPFC forum.
