"RUN, DRACO!" And that’s what he did. Suddenly it mattered so little, whether he was being "treated like a child". He followed Snape’s blunt commands without the slightest flicker of resentment. Suddenly he would’ve given anything to see his pestering mother, to feel her arms close around him in one of her oppressive hugs. The flight, from Draco's view.

In His Hands by timydamonkey
09/24/2006[One shot. Peter centric] There are two choices that can be made, and both basically amount to 'lose everything'. What do you do; save your own life, or die to protect your friends? Either way, you know you're condemned. This is a version of Peter Pettigrew's joining the Dark Lord - what would make a loyal fellow to betray his friends? He was a Marauder; he must have been decent before his crimes soured everybody's memories of him. He must have had a motivation, and here's an idea of what it could have been.

The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows by Riay_Night
09/14/2009This story chronicles the events leading up to Snape becoming a full-fledged Death Eater, beginning with the end of his friendship with Lily Evans in his fifth year. It will be installed in four parts, maybe five if I get over-ambitious. I used to write HP fanfiction weekly, but I haven't written in years, so reviews and the lot are very very appreciated! And yes, the title is taken from a Brand New song. The song lyrics do not play a part in the story, but I thought that the title fit very well--read on to see what I mean!

I Will Try to Fix You by kewolf
07/12/2011Arthur Weasley, a kind boy who has always been seen as a bit weird, has an obsession. No, I'm not talking about his love of Muggles. Ever since he first saw Molly Prewett coming back from Quidditch practice, her hair tangled, her robes dirtied, and her face bright red from exertion, he's been unable to get her out of his mind. There's just one problem: She's obsessed with Ludo Bagman, the star seventh year Hufflepuff Quidditch captain. Will he be able to get Molly to notice him? And how will he ever be able to focus on his N.E.W.T. classes when he can't get his mind off of her?

(Draco/Blaise, vague Harry/Draco)
The story of Severus Snape, his darkness, and, ultimately, his light. Begins at the Potters' funeral and goes deep into the soul of Severus Snape, from a rocky beginning to a life of guilt and unimaginable sacrifice. Not AU, no slash.
Margot Shaw lived through the worst of it, as an Auror during the Dark Days. Sometimes the aftermath is worse than the event its self.
Halloween by Janne Richardson
09/01/2003My take on the events of that fateful October night in 1981. Told through many changing points of view and ranges to include an appearance by the whole lot of redheaded Weasley children, Sirius' escapades and the first indoor Quidditch match at the Potter household.
Draco Malfoy thinks about the state of the wizarding world, Slytherin, purebloods, non-purebloods and then cuts his leg. On accident, this isn't a Draco-is-angsty-because-his-fangirls-are-rabid fic. Though I must agree, his fangirls are rabid.
The life of Severus Snape: A clash of science, numbers, and isolation versus stars, myths and swans. Dark if you think it is. Hints at RL/SB. A moment of SS/NB.

06/09/2006That was how Lucius Malfoy was. That was how Lucius Malfoy wanted his one and only son, Draco, to be. Arrogant, unreachable, and cold. Draco allowed himself to shiver a little. That was the man he used to look up to.
