What could make Remus Lupin such a reserved & fearful boy, rarely giving into the antics of his friends? I've endeavored to answer this. It's my 3rd finished fic ever. It isn't my 1st Remus fic, but it is the 1st I've posted. I'm a little nervous. I'm sort of a fanfic virgin, so be gentle with me.It's a small departure from the romantic stuff that is usually so well received by everyone, so I really hope that people get it. I would say enjoy, but given the content, the word might be ill-suited. In this, he's a young boy. It's set prior to going to Hogwarts, & immediately after the full moon following his recovery from the attack that Fenrir made on him.

Harry Potter enters his first two years at Hogwarts and weird things begin hapening to him. With everything going on in his first year, Voldemort is the last thing on his mind. Harry trys contacting his parents, and later on trys to discover why weird things are happening to him.

Eighteen-year-old Harry Potter, despite being the celebrated "Chosen One" who'd recently vanquished He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named at last (not to mention his preceded glory as the "Boy Who Lived"), suffers greatly in the aftermath. Over a month has so far passed since that final showdown at Hogwarts, yet STILL — the young adult wizard cannot sleep, cannot close his eyes without seeing vivid images of that horrific night jog hauntingly across his mind without end. Nevertheless, as Harry now returns to Hogwarts for his rather "belated" seventh year (if one could call it), an unexpected person shockingly spotlights into Harry's traumatized life, even proving to be the beginning of a new, unimaginable attraction and interest: Draco Malfoy!

As she tries to acclimate herself to her new surroundings and her fiance, Mystique slowly starts to loose hold of her instincts. Meanwhile, she starts to fall in love with one who isn't her betrothed and Hogwarts is under the tyranny of Dolores Umbridge. Will instinct or morals guide her, destroy her or destroy those around her?

Set during the Battle at Hogwarts. When Draco meets the devastating sixteen-year-old Ebony, he finds the strength to shed his dark side once and for all. She teaches him what it is to be a true Gryffindor- bravery. A dark and depressing little fic, but light always manages to find a way to shine through... Contains original characters, a brief romance and references to Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer and The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. Be warned, not your typical happy ending for one character in particular (NOT Draco!)

Given how events in this story play out, it's hard to say whether it's a sequel or prequel to Erasure. In the course of saving a life, Harry unknowingly creates his worst nemesis - Lord Voldemort.

"The glass didn't just separate her from the weather." One minute, Hermione is sitting at her window watching the thunderstorm outside, wondering when she would see Harry and Ron.

A take on Lucius Malfoy.

"We are not putting him down like a sick puppy, werewolf or not!" the other voice shouted, surreptitiousness forgotten. "He is our son!"

The night Lily and James Potter died. Someone arrived before Hagrid. "...he was really sorry he'd done it, sorry they were dead." - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, by J.K. Rowling

He has feared it all along - for longer than she has, he has feared this day, this argument, this goodbye. In the past months, she has come to fear it too, and all summer they have merely been waiting. Pretending, and waiting. While everyone else had spent the past weeks celebrating that yet another lot of them were out of Hogwarts, ready for the world they had been planning for years now, the two of them had desperately been trying not to see the end. Andromeda leaves the only life she knows behind.

"If Ron was still alive, he would have slung his arm around her shoulders. Would have held her close, dried her tears, taken her home and tucked her into bed.

Harry and a Slytherin girl start thinking along the same lines.

Amelia Bones was a middle-aged woman who lived alone, a very gifted witch, and all the evidence was that she put up a real fight.

The Malfoy family had been loathed for centuries, and for good reason. They were powerful - respected. Now, they were ignored - forgotten. Some call it progress, Scorpius called it blasphemy against Wizard Tradition. After all, "Progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged."

Laura Finch was just your average Slytherin: prideful, ambitious, and eager to make her way in the world. She didn't know her true identity. She didn't know the role fate would have her play. She didn't know what the strange dagger in Professor Smith's office was, or how evil an object can truly be.
